"What I fear is someone causing you trouble that I cannot protect against, so let's wait. Once I have dealt with the affairs of the previous era, I will immediately confer the title of Empress upon you. I want you to be the Empress who watches over the vast lands of Da Wei with me."
The Emperor's words were as surprising to Lin Wanyi as fireworks.
Empress?
That was an honor and status she had never dreamed of.
"Your Majesty..."
"I know you don't care for these outward accolades, but I hope you can be. Becoming the Empress means we can share life's joys and sorrows, and though my fate means it's impossible for me to have only you in this life, in the next life, I will find you and be with you alone, for a lifetime."
Listening to the Emperor speak like this, Lin Wanyi was deeply moved.
Previously, the Emperor's affection for her was driven by a sense of inevitable possession.
Now, it was still the same, yet he had developed a tenderness not typical of emperors.
