Wan Ge glanced at her and then replied, "I've said it before, the Qi family's imperial destiny is over. If you never intended to be a wise ruler, then you should have expected this outcome."
The other person laughed instantly, looking at Wan Ge with mockery: "You planned so much, but in the end you still helped someone else."
She schemed so much, turning herself into a prisoner without firing a single shot, but in the end, she still helped someone else rise to power. What is there for her to be proud of?
Wan Ge glanced at the other person and said, "Not everyone wants to become emperor. Some people pursue supreme power, while others just want peace and well-being for the people. Do you know the difference between these two types of people?"
One type is a tyrannical ruler, whose rule inevitably leads to widespread suffering among the people. The other type is a wise ruler, who may not be able to achieve perfect fairness, but at least lives in a prosperous era where people are well-fed and clothed and free from the fear of war.
Wan Ge smiled faintly again: "You don't know, otherwise you wouldn't be here."
Wan Ge left first; she was more interested in promoting her husband than staying. She felt her ambition had been fully realized this time; now that she had helped the young female lead rise to power, it was time to spend more time with her husband.
The former empress looked at Sikou Lingyue and finally asked the question that had been bothering her: "I don't understand why you chose to cooperate with the Imperial Advisor."
Although she had some faith in the Imperial Advisor's abilities, she still felt that he shouldn't be the first choice.
Si Kou Lingyue said softly, "It was the Imperial Advisor who found me. She knew what I wanted to do even before I showed any signs."
You know what? Actually, I planned a lot, but the appearance of the Imperial Advisor made me do nothing. I used to think similarly to you, always feeling that the Imperial Advisor wasn't as divine as the legends said, until the day she took the initiative to approach me.
It was then that I realized the Imperial Advisor was even more divine than the legends suggested.
Si Kou Lingyue didn't linger, as he needed to prepare many things, one being the coronation ceremony and the other, naturally, the wedding. He was finally going to marry the person he loved most; these past few months had truly felt like a dream.
…
Wei Sheng sat in the pavilion by the pond, absentmindedly tossing fish food into the water. His mind seemed blank; he just sat there, blankly performing the actions in his hands.
"Yi'er, what are you doing?" Wei Shengyi's father's voice sounded from behind.
Wei Sheng immediately put down what he was holding and obediently stood up: "Father, why are you here? Is there something you need?"
Why did Father suddenly appear? Is something the matter?
"Your father has noticed that you've been acting strangely these past few months. What's wrong?" He had told his father that they wouldn't get involved in royal affairs.
He was very obedient and did nothing wrong, but why does it always feel like something is not quite right?
Wei Sheng shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, another person suddenly climbed into his yard.
Wei Sheng's husband tensed up instantly, but the next second, when he saw the woman appear in his son's yard, he was dumbfounded.
The Imperial Advisor? Why would the Imperial Advisor be here? And why didn't she come openly and honestly? What does it mean to climb over into her son's yard like that?
Wan Ge was used to climbing over walls, so he didn't go through the main gate, but he didn't expect to see his father like that.
