The weak prince's queen

The slightly shy and hesitant woman gently called out "Your Highness..." A trace of confusion and uneasiness flashed in Chu Xiyue's eyes, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

Xiao Yichen on the opposite side was also slightly stunned, and then responded: "You..." His deep eyes revealed a hint of concern and confusion, and he seemed to have noticed the abnormality of the woman in front of him.

Chu Xiyue and Xiao Yichen opened their mouths to speak almost simultaneously, only to pause momentarily. Finally, it was Chu Xiyue who broke the silence, softly saying, "Your Highness, you speak first." Her voice carried a hint of resignation and concession, as if she would rather let the other person lead the conversation.

Xiao Yichen looked at her hesitantly, and after a moment he slowly said, "You speak first." There was a hint of tenderness and consideration in his tone, and he didn't want to bring any pressure to the other party.

Chu Xiyue bit her lip and said as if she had made a great decision: "Uh... what I want to say is... forget it, I won't say it. I really can't say it." Her cheeks flushed slightly and her eyes were evasive, as if she was hiding some unspeakable secret.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen's heart tightened and he asked hurriedly with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Let's call Doctor Ge over." His words were full of worry, and he wished he could help her solve all her problems immediately.

Chu Xiyue quickly shook her head, forced a smile and said, "No, it's just... forget it, let's talk about it later." She tried to cover up her inner panic with a relaxed tone, but the slightly trembling voice still exposed her emotions.

Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment, then said solemnly: "Okay, then let's talk about it after you have thought it over. If you feel unwell or want to eat something, I will prepare it for you." His eyes were full of sincerity and concern, which made people want to believe him involuntarily.

Chu Xiyue felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard his words. She couldn't help but ask, "Prince, why are you suddenly so nice to me?" This question seemed to have been lingering in her mind for a long time, and now she finally asked it.

Xiao Yichen was slightly stunned, then slowly said: "You were injured because of me, so I should take care of you." There was a hint of guilt in his tone, as if he felt that he owed her something before.

Chu Xiyue looked at him thoughtfully and continued to ask, "Oh... then there is no other reason?" Her eyes flashed with anticipation, hoping to hear some different answers from him.

Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Of course there is no other reason. You were injured because of me, and I will be responsible to the end. This is my duty." There was a hint of firmness in his tone, as if there was no room for doubt.

Chu Xiyue looked at him, feeling a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart. She whispered softly, "Is it really just like this?" But she also understood that it seemed meaningless to ask further at this moment, so she stopped talking.

Xiao Yichen noticed her mood change and sighed inwardly. He took a step closer and comforted her softly, "Don't think too much. The most important thing is to take good care of your injuries." His eyes revealed concern, which made Chu Xiyue feel a little more at ease.

The two of them stared at each other quietly, an indescribable atmosphere in the air, as if they had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start. After a moment, Chu Xiyue nodded gently and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Yichen smiled slightly, a subtle tenderness flashed in his eyes, and said: "You're welcome, as long as you can recover soon."

"Okay, then Your Highness, you please go out first. I'm really tired right now and want to have a good rest." Chu Xiyue lowered her eyes slightly, with a cold expression on her face, and a hint of alienation and fatigue in her words.

"Okay." Xiao Yichen responded. He looked at Chu Xiyue deeply, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly turned around and left the room with steady steps.

Chu Xiyue sat quietly in a distant corner, her mind full of thoughts and sadness. Her eyes, which used to be lively, had become dim and lifeless, as if they had lost all their brilliance.

"Sister Yue, what's going on? What did the prince say? Are you...are you starting a relationship?" Dong'er rushed into the room with anticipation on her face, her eyes gleaming with excitement and her tone full of excitement.

Chu Xiyue smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly, "Forget it, Dong'er, the prince has no interest in me. He only takes care of me because I saved him back then, not because of any special affection." There was a deep sense of loss and helplessness in her words.

"Ah? No way, I clearly saw that the prince was particularly good to Sister Yue, how could he not have feelings for her?" Dong'er's face was full of confusion, and her eyes were full of puzzlement. She really couldn't believe that the two people who were so close on weekdays would end up like this.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I really want to rest." Chu Xiyue rubbed her temples tiredly, with a sense of weakness in her voice.

"Okay, then I won't disturb Sister Yue anymore. You should have a good rest." Dong'er saw this and knew that Chu Xiyue was in a bad mood at the moment, so she obediently stepped aside and prepared to leave.

Dong'er gently closed the door, the slight sound seeming to speak of the silence and loneliness in the room at the moment. She stood silently outside the door, secretly worried about Chu Xiyue's mood, hoping that she could get out of this haze as soon as possible.

Chu Xiyue tilted her head slightly, a trace of loneliness and helplessness flashing in her eyes. She sat there quietly, her mind constantly recalling the conversation she had just had with Xiao Yichen, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. Those faint words seemed to still echo in her ears, and every word was like a needle piercing her heart.

She thought of Xiao Yichen's tall and straight back as he left, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. Once, she thought she might be able to enter his world, even if it was just a little bit, but now it seemed that everything was just her wishful thinking.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Chu Xiyue's heart moved, thinking that it was Xiao Yichen who came back. She quickly sorted herself out and prepared to face him. However, when the door opened, she saw Dong'er's concerned face.

Dong'er sighed softly and said, "Sister Yue, stop thinking so much and have a good rest. Maybe everything will be fine tomorrow." Chu Xiyue nodded, tears in her eyes. She knew that no matter what the future held, she had to face it with strength.

Dong'er left the room, leaving Chu Xiyue alone in silence. She closed her eyes silently, trying to find a moment of peace in her heart. However, those chaotic thoughts surged in like a tide, making it impossible for her to calm down...
