Seeing the other party's appearance, Wan Ge spoke again: "However, Miss Meng's obsession has not subsided. If I can successfully complete the mission this time, the Underworld can allow her to return to the mortal world, and you two can continue your relationship."
"Really?" Upon hearing Wan Ge's words, hope rekindled in the Crown Prince's eyes.
He quickly realized something was amiss: "I told you you're here to protect Ninth Brother. After you've protected him, Ge'er and I..."
Will they really be able to see each other again? Talking about rekindling their past romance, if his sister Ge'er really passed away, seeing her one more time would be enough. The Crown Prince is actually willing to help with this.
However, he couldn't help for nothing; he wanted to see his sister, Ge'er.
"I don't need to stay here for the rest of my life. I only need to protect the Ninth Prince until he comes of age. The day the Prince comes of age will be the day I leave."
The crown prince pondered for a moment. His ninth brother was eight years old now, and it would be twelve years before he came of age. Twelve years was a chance for him to see his lover again, a chance to rekindle their romance: "Alright. What do you want me to do?"
"Come with me to protect His Highness the Ninth Prince."
"No problem, but if you dare to lie to me, I will not let you off the hook, no matter where you are in the world or what."
"Alright. When you come of age, I can give you a gift too."
The Crown Prince is fourteen years old now, and it will be six years from now when he comes of age.
…
Meng Yuzhou didn't know what his elder sister had said. He didn't believe her earlier statement that His Highness the Crown Prince would no longer misunderstand after tomorrow.
However, after they met the next day, the Crown Prince took even more care of the Ninth Prince.
The Empress was initially displeased with the Crown Prince's actions. He was protecting and caring for her; did he even know who Chu Yue Zhao really was?
Although Chu Yue Zhao's maternal family had completely lost its power, there were still many people who had been taken care of by them in the past. Although many people distanced themselves when Consort Yue's family was raided, in reality, some people still hadn't let go of the past over the years.
If Chu Yue Zhao becomes too prominent, she might not be a threat to him.
Not long after Chu Yue Zhao went to the Imperial Academy, she was praised many times, which made the Empress really worried.
"Why are you getting so close to your ninth brother?" How could the Empress not know her son? Her son was not a bloodthirsty and cruel person, but beneath his gentle exterior lay a proud and aloof heart that would never submit to anyone.
This was her teaching of the Crown Prince over the years, and she always thought she had done a good job and was very satisfied with it. However, the Crown Prince did something she did unexpectedly.
The Crown Prince obediently bowed and replied, "My ninth brother lost his birth mother at a young age and has been mistreated in the Cold Palace. I want to treat him better. After all, he is my brother. He suffered so much pain in his previous life, and I hope he can have a better life in the future."
Just as the Empress was about to speak, a satisfied voice came from the doorway: "Good, very good. As expected of my Crown Prince, I knew the Crown Prince wasn't one of those cold-blooded people."
The emperor was always satisfied with the crown prince, but it was common for brothers to kill each other after becoming emperor.
Back then, in order to ensure his smooth ascension to the throne, his father did not hesitate to harm his own son, and his own brother died right before his eyes.
