After falling, Chu Yue Zhao didn't seem to be in a hurry to get up. Instead, she just lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face, her delicate and beautiful cheeks filled with pain.
When Wan Ge saw him like this, her heart clenched.
She recalled the question Lao Hei had asked her: "You've been in contact with the Crown Prince for so long, haven't you been even a little bit tempted?"
Wan Ge firmly replied that she had no feelings for the Crown Prince. Yes, how could she possibly have feelings for the Crown Prince? The person she liked had never been the Crown Prince!
At first, Wan Ge really did treat him like a younger brother, but the more she got to know him, the more her heart fluttered. In fact, when the Crown Prince helped her, she was less willing to approach him.
…
In the Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Prince sent everyone away and finally got some time alone with Miss Meng.
Miss Meng, who hadn't seen the Crown Prince for a long time, slowly said, "Crown Prince, it's been a long time."
The prince pulled her into his arms and said, "I missed you so much."
“I know.” Miss Meng had actually been in the underworld all along. She could see the time the Crown Prince spent with Wan Ge, hear their conversations, and feel the Crown Prince’s feelings for her.
So when she came back, she didn't feel like a stranger, because the person in front of her at that moment was the one who liked and loved her, and she felt the same way.
"Are you alright?" The crown prince asked, his eyes red-rimmed, looking at the person he hadn't seen in so long.
Miss Meng nodded: "It's fine. They took good care of me down there, and I didn't suffer any grievances."
After saying this, Miss Meng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Crown Prince, do you still remember my name?"
The crown prince was taken aback by the sudden question, then slowly said, "Meng... Meng Baige!"
That's right, his sister's name isn't Wan Ge at all; it should be Meng Bai Ge.
In that instant, Meng Baige felt that all her obsessions had been worthwhile.
Yes, she was unwilling to reincarnate. Besides her concern for her family, the most important reason was her concern for the person in front of her, the Crown Prince, whom she had longed for for a long time. Fortunately, the Crown Prince also loved her.
But she also felt unfortunate, unfortunate that she died young and could not grow old with him.
Thankfully, I got a chance.
"Brother Crown Prince, I have to go back after today. I can come back after Lord Meng finishes his mission."
"Don't be afraid, I will help her complete the task."
I believe you.
…
…
After the Crown Prince's coming-of-age ceremony, Miss Meng returned to the underworld, and Wan Ge continued to use her body.
Not long after, the two got married, but what no one knew was that the couple performing the wedding ceremony were not the Crown Prince and Wan Ge at all.
After much deliberation, the Crown Prince decided that the sham marriage was acceptable, but since such a grand ceremony should not be performed by them, he had a married couple from his subordinates impersonate them and perform the wedding ceremony in front of everyone.
On the day of their wedding, the Crown Prince stained a white handkerchief with blood obtained by his subordinates, then slept in the outer room, while Wange slept in the inner room.
However, no one knew any of this, not even the emperor and empress. To outsiders, they appeared to be a loving couple, childhood sweethearts, deeply devoted to each other, and with a very strong bond.
However, after the Crown Prince got married, Chu Yue Zhao and the Crown Prince became even more estranged.
Despite this, the crown prince did not forget his mission and still had people protect him every day, although sometimes his subordinates failed to keep up with his whereabouts.
Although the Crown Prince was acting strangely, he realized that Chu Yue Zhao was intentionally avoiding him.
After discussing it with Wan Ge, Wan Ge said that she would do her best to protect him, and that she would know if she encountered any life-threatening danger.
…
However, neither the Crown Prince, Wan Ge, nor the Emperor expected that Chu Yue Zhao would commit treason just three days before turning twenty.
When Wan Ge heard it, she was still unsteady on her feet and couldn't believe it.
He was also puzzled as to why Chu Yue Zhao hadn't been targeted for assassination in recent years. He had assumed that the group had given up after she and the Crown Prince took protection, but he hadn't expected them to be plotting something so big.
The severity of the charge of treason was something that gave Wan Ge a real headache.
The Crown Prince never imagined that while his subordinates couldn't find out, he was doing such a thing. The Wan Ge mission was only a few days away, how dare he! How dare he do such a thing!
As expected, the emperor was furious when he found out. While worried about his safety, he also ordered people to find ways to kill him.
However, no one knew where Chu Yue Zhao got such great power and gathered so many troops. The emperor's army was still at the border, and the people in the capital were no match for him.
"Your Highness, the rebel army has broken in."
…
Wan Ge recalled that the last time she saw him was half a year ago. Half a year had passed since they last met, but she felt that he had changed a lot.
She still didn't understand why the other party would commit treason, and she couldn't understand why someone who wanted him dead would help him do this.
Yes, that's right. Wan Ge was certain that no matter how capable Chu Yue Zhao was, he couldn't possibly have gathered so many troops under their noses on his own, so someone must have been helping him in secret.
However, apart from himself, the Crown Prince, and Meng Yuzhou, he had no contact with anyone else. So it can only be said that those people took the initiative to approach him. And since those people haven't made a move against him in the past few years, it can only mean that it was the same group of people.
"Mother..." The five-year-old child beside Wan Ge was a little worried. Wan Ge pulled him to her side and gently patted his shoulder to reassure him.
At the same time, two people stood in front of them. These two people were the child's biological parents, the couple who had married the crown prince on her behalf years ago. The child was aware of her parents' existence.
When Chu Yue Zhao heard the child call Wan Ge "Mother," her grip on the sword tightened even more.
Wan Ge asked the couple to take the child away. The comfort man looked at Wan Ge with some worry, but Wan Ge nodded.
In the end, they listened to what Wan Ge said.
Wan Ge slowly walked up to Chu Yue Zhao: "Ninth Prince, why did you do such a thing?"
Seeing that the opponent was getting closer and closer to her sword, Chu Yue Zhao quickly threw the sword away.
"Why? Because of you. You should have been mine, and you can only be mine."
"You've really gone mad!" Wan Ge raised her hand and slapped him. He, a dignified god of the celestial realm, actually plotted a rebellion for his own selfish desires. Countless lives had been lost on this bloody path.
"Yes, I'm obsessed. I just can't stand seeing you with other people."
