But even so, she still kept in mind the distinction between superiority and inferiority. Today's Xuanqing is no longer the crown prince back then.
Now he is the master of the Northern Kingdom, with control over life and death.
"Look at the moon and pay homage to the monarch."
"Wang Yue, please get up." Xuanqing stepped forward and carefully helped Wang Yue up. He lowered his eyes and stared deeply at her. There was a very shallow feeling of distress in his eyes.
"I'm sorry for you."
"It's not bitter." Wangyue smiled and shook her head, but the tears fell down the corners of her eyes and hit Xuanqing's hand heavily.
He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Wangyue's face.
"From now on, no one can bully us anymore."
Mochizuki suddenly plunged into his arms, and the initial suppressed sobs turned into uncontrollable wails.
"I miss you. I miss you every moment of every day in Da Yin."
Feeling the person rushing into his arms, Xuanqing was slightly startled. He wanted to raise his hand and place it on Wangyue's waist, but in the end it fell on her head.
He gently stroked Wangyue's smooth hair and said, "It'll be good when you get back. I'll ask the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite meals on weekdays."
"Come here, pass the meal."
Not long after Xuanqing finished speaking, the palace servants brought in the dazzling array of meals.
Wangyue sat at the table, being in this luxurious Chaoyang Palace, but it was as if she was in a dream, and it just felt unreal.
A rare smile appeared on Xuanqing's face. He personally prepared the dishes for her and said in a gentle voice, "After I left, you were alone in Da Yin. You must have been bullied?"
Wangyue shook her head, "No, Prince Yin treated me very well. After you left, I have been living in Hanyue Terrace where you once lived. Prince Yin never treated me harshly."
Hearing this, a dark and unclear look flashed across Xuanqing's face.
"She treats you well?"
He seemed to be in disbelief. In addition to anger, there was also a bit of disbelief in his eyes.
Mochizuki didn't know the reason for his sudden change of mood, but she still nodded seriously.
"Prince Yin appears to be a playboy, but in fact, he is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' danger..."
Wangyue didn't finish her words, but immediately fell silent after seeing Xuanqing's ugly face.
As if thinking of something, Wangyue's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, "My lord, don't get me wrong. Since you left, Prince Yin has never set foot on Hanyue Terrace once, nor has he been close to me."
"She has never been to Hanyuetai once since I left?"
Xuanqing asked in a low voice.
Wangyue nodded, "Wangyue swears that Prince Yin and I are innocent."
Xuanqing lowered his eyes, took some dishes to Wangyue, and then said: "Hanyue Terrace is also the palace of Prince Chu Xiang, and it is her Yin Luzhu's home. It doesn't matter whether she goes or not."
Mochizuki bit her lower lip gently and asked tentatively, "Prince Yin said that the monarch did not like him and wanted to do harm to him."
"Haha."
Xuan Qing twitched the corners of her lips coolly, "Isn't it natural for people like her who play with other people's sincerity, calculate, seek only profit, and go back on their word to encounter unexpected events?"
"Your Majesty, in fact Prince Yin..."
Before Wang Yue finished speaking, Xuanqing placed the chopsticks heavily on the table, making a dull sound.
He frowned and looked at Wangyue, "Is she the only topic between us?"
Seeing the rage in his eyes, Wangyue was a little at a loss.
