To be honest, Si Kou Lingyue had never believed the Imperial Advisor's words before, always thinking that he was lying and no different from a charlatan. She thought only a foolish empress would believe the Imperial Advisor, but now!
Even her own father didn't know what she wanted to do, but the other party understood perfectly and even wanted to help her.
Judging from her expression, she seemed certain that she would get that position, as if she already knew the outcome.
Si Kou Lingyue believed that given the other party's current status, she had nothing to offer her, but the fact that she felt she could succeed meant she wanted something for the future.
Wan Ge spoke calmly, "Your Excellency will be a wise and benevolent ruler in the future. I only wish to see the world at peace, so I have no other desires."
Si Kou Lingyue still found it hard to believe that the other party had no ulterior motives, but no matter what the other party wanted in the future, at least for now the other party was indeed willing to help her.
However, Si Kou Lingyue was not entirely careless about her, after all, if what she did was discovered, it wouldn't be as simple as just losing her life.
That's why... I never told him what I was doing.
"Then I thank the Imperial Preceptor in advance." Sikou Lingyue put the jade pendant away.
Wan Ge stood up abruptly, not intending to have dinner with the other person. However, before leaving, she looked at the woman in front of her and said very seriously, "My lady, sometimes concealment isn't necessarily a form of protection. What lovers lack most is honesty. Besides, does the other person know about your true self? What will they think? Don't regret it after you've lost them."
After saying that, he left immediately.
Si Kou Lingyue was stunned for a moment. Upon hearing the first sentence, she instinctively thought of the person in her heart. Hearing the words "love" made her even more certain…
Thinking about what the other person said to her, was she really that amazing? In the end, she even knew about the person she loved.
Thinking that she had indeed kept it from him to avoid hurting him, but... Si Kou Lingyue thought of what she had said.
She had witnessed many scenes of people suffering in the south before she went there, which is why she decided to do such a big thing.
She had thought that if this matter succeeded, she would marry him after everything was over, and he would be the only one for her in this life.
If I fail, it doesn't matter. He doesn't know my feelings anyway, and I can transfer them to someone else. I can still live a peaceful and happy life.
It was the words Wan Ge said that inexplicably made her uneasy, making her feel that perhaps she would succeed but lose him.
Besides feeling sorry for the lives of ordinary people, she also wanted to live with him in a better era, where there would be no more wars and prosperity everywhere.
But if I eventually reach that position, and he's not there... then what's the point of having this world?
Si Kou Lingyue felt a sudden tightness in her chest, experiencing fear for the first time, but not the fear of being discovered.
But… Si Kou Lingyue glanced down at the jade pendant she had hidden, and thought of Wan Ge's state again. She could test her lover's thoughts; if he truly loved her too, then everything she had done recently and now was hurting him.
…
When Wan Ge was about to return to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, she saw Wei Shengyi standing in the lakeside pavilion.
They all lived on this side, so it wasn't strange for the other to appear by the lake, but Wange felt that the other was waiting for her.
