"As for my personal matters, Your Majesty need not worry." Although Mu Zhuochen did not know the purpose of Wan Ge's question, he still wanted to avoid the issue.
Mu Zhuochen didn't want to talk about the issues mentioned above, especially since it was his biggest secret.
Mu Zhuochen glanced at Wan Ge again. How could he possibly understand his own feelings?
Upon hearing this, Wan Ge quickly replied, "Of course, Your Majesty has always acted with great discretion, and I have never needed to worry about you. I have no other intentions; I am simply concerned about Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is very kind." Mu Zhuochen picked up the memorial again and slowly began to read it.
…
…
Wan Ge didn't mention matters of the heart again, nor did she keep running to the palace where the young ladies were as planned. She simply observed everything quietly before making any further plans.
only…
Mu Zhuochen noticed once again that the other party was not in the imperial study: "Where has Your Majesty gone this time?"
The guards exchanged glances, then silently lowered their heads: "This... His Majesty is in Consort Lan's palace."
"When did His Majesty acquire a Consort?" Mu Zhuochen couldn't help but crush the cup in his hand.
The guard answered honestly, "Last night, Consort Lan had a chance encounter with His Majesty in the Imperial Garden. His Majesty fell in love with her at first sight, took her back to his palace, and had relations with her. This morning, he sealed her away early..."
"I understand. In that case, I will go and see."
The guards felt there was something slightly amiss, but they dared not disobey the Regent, so they naturally listened to whatever Mu Zhuochen said.
She simply bowed respectfully as Mu Zhuochen left, then watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance.
…
Mu Zhuochen stood just outside the hall, separated by a wall, yet he could hear the playful laughter coming from inside. Did he really like that woman that much? What was so great about her!
As soon as Mu Zhuochen stood at the palace gate, he saw Consort Zhao, who had been dancing gracefully, suddenly fall into the emperor's arms and then just stay there.
Those in the know understand that it's just a tactic to attract people; how dare she use such a low-class method?
Seeing the two of them acting as if no one else was around, Mu Zhuochen finally approached Wan Ge's side with a gloomy face.
"Who are you? Why don't you kneel before His Majesty?" The woman in Wan Ge's arms looked at the person who had appeared out of nowhere with a puzzled expression.
Wan Ge immediately stood up: "Royal...Royal Uncle..."
Wan Ge was taken aback when she didn't expect the other party to come in person.
The woman was stunned when she heard Wan Ge call out to the other person, so the person in front of her was the legendary Regent, the Regent who held all the power in the world and was incomparably handsome.
The woman had heard rumors about him long ago, and thought that Mu Zhuochen must be getting old by now, but she did not expect that the current regent was still so young, even more so than the emperor beside him.
"Originally the Regent, I, Cheng Nu, greet the Imperial Uncle." The woman, quite sensibly, completely changed her attitude.
Mu Zhuochen still didn't understand how Wan Ge could have taken a liking to someone like this. He was quite good-looking, but... he didn't seem very obedient.
However, Wan Ge didn't understand why the other party wanted to change their skills and come up with a new strategy.
Mu Zhuochen snorted coldly. Although the person in front of him was the legitimate daughter, she came from a humble family.
