Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"So, you cleverly set up a chess game, telling these wronged people that the road to revenge might begin from within their enemies. You told them to infiltrate their homes and become their trusted right-hand men. This way, they could become sharp weapons, gathering evidence in the dark so that the truth could be revealed to the world in the future."

Bai Yue stared at Mo Xuanche, her words revealing some understanding and admiration.

"Xiaoyue, you are indeed my confidant. Just as you said, I carefully planned it and asked my aunt to help these people change their appearances. Then, one by one, we infiltrated the wealthy families that had grudges against them."

"The hatred in their hearts not only drives them to quickly become the confidants of those ministers, but also makes them my most reliable spies. These swords that will never betray me will surely help me remove these corrupt parasites who have been entrenched in Wu Lie for so many years!"

Mo Xuanche smiled slightly, and that smile showed both relief and confidence.

"Mo Xuanche, your move is truly powerful. Otherwise, you are truly born to be an emperor!"

Bai Yue couldn't help but clap her hands, her eyes flashing with sincere admiration and praise, but Mo Xuanche pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, with a hint of subtle bitterness hidden in his voice.

"Oh, the emperor? It's nothing but a glittering golden cage. It imprisons human freedom, forcing the soul to wander within a small space. It can't follow the wind and clouds, and experience the beauty of the world. It can't do as one wishes and enjoy the various aspects of life. One dares not speak of love lightly, for fear that such deep love will give the other person..."

Having said this, his eyes met Bai Yue's, as if he had thousands of words to say but was hesitant. However, in the end, he said nothing and just drank the wine in the glass, as if the wine in the glass carried his unfulfilled feelings.

Seeing this, Bai Yue swiftly picked up the wine jug and filled Mo Xuanche's cup again. Her movements were smooth and gentle, as if silently giving him strength.

"Mo Xuanche, you are truly a good emperor. I believe that under your leadership, the Wulie Kingdom will usher in an unprecedented era of glory..."

Mo Xuanche didn't say much, but just drank the wine in the glass again. Then he took out an ordinary jade pendant from his arms. He stuffed the jade pendant into Bai Yue's hand and said in a firm voice.

"Xiaoyue, this jade pendant was left to me by that strange old man. He told me that if I ever get into trouble, I can send it to the owner of the Sword Forging Villa in the Wulin Alliance. He will show up to help me no matter where he is. Now, I give it to you. I hope it can protect you and solve all your problems."

"That won't do. This is a life-saving amulet given to you by your master. How can I accept it?"

Bai Yue shook her head and wanted to put the jade pendant back into Mo Xuanche's hand, but the other party immediately grabbed her hand and whispered a suggestion.

"Then, how about you just keep it for me temporarily? If one day you know I'm in danger, please take this jade pendant with you and go find that strange old man and ask him to help me out."

"okay!"

Bai Yue nodded slightly, and then prepared to quietly pull out her hand that was gently imprisoned in Mo Xuanche's palm. However, every effort she made seemed to fall on deaf ears, because every time she wanted to retract her hand, the other party's hand would stubbornly and gently grab it back, as if unwilling to easily let go of this sudden bond.

"Mo Xuanche, can you please let go of my hand so I can put the jade pendant away..."

Bai Yue thought that the other party regretted entrusting the jade pendant to her for safekeeping, so she thought about returning the jade pendant.

At this time, Mo Xuanche's fingers were gently moving on Bai Yue's delicate palm. His fingertips were like the most dexterous painter, weaving delicate emotions in her palm at will.

"Xiaoyue, you and I are good friends who have been through thick and thin together. If I ever start to miss you, what should I do?"

There was a hint of drunkenness in Mo Xuanche's voice, adding a bit of indescribable tenderness. He did not look directly at Bai Yue, but let his eyes wander in the night outside the hall.

Bai Yue felt the numbness and warmth coming from her palm. The itchiness went straight to her heart, making her tremble involuntarily. She suppressed the indescribable throbbing, pulled it back suddenly, and finally freed her hand from the gentle shackles.

Then she quickly pointed to the bright and flawless moon in the night sky, her eyes shining like stars.

"What's so difficult about that? Whenever you miss me, just look up at the moon in the sky. Maybe at that moment, I'm standing somewhere, enjoying the same moonlight with you."

Mo Xuanche looked in the direction Bai Yue's finger was pointing, and saw a crescent moon hanging in the sky, its edges not quite round, which actually made him feel a little sad.

"The moon..."

He muttered to himself, a barely perceptible loneliness flashing across his eyes, as if the moon with a missing corner was reflecting a regret somewhere in his heart.

"It's getting late, Xiaoyue, it's time for you to go home."

Mo Xuanche sighed softly, his tone filled with reluctance, yet also a hint of determination.

"I have something important to do the day after tomorrow, so please let Uncle Wang give you a ride on my behalf."

"it is good!"

Bai Yue stood up in response, her posture straight and elegant. She performed a standard court salute to Mo Xuanche, and every movement revealed her respect and blessing for the monarch.

"Your Majesty, as your friend, I sincerely wish you a smooth journey, that all your wishes come true, and that all your dreams come true. Please take good care of yourself in the years to come."

After saying this, Bai Yue turned around resolutely, with firm steps and without the slightest hesitation.

Her figure gradually lengthened under the moonlight, and finally merged into the night, leaving only a series of crisp footsteps, echoing in the quiet night, as if it was the final farewell to this friendship.

From the moment Bai Yue stood up lightly until she left gracefully, Mo Xuanche's gaze seemed to be firmly drawn to the bright moon in the sky, never deviating for a moment, nor lingering on her for a moment.

Time flowed slowly until the night deepened. The wine glass in his hand quietly picked up a drop of water that he had encountered unexpectedly. It fell gently, stirring up circle after circle of ripples, just like the unspeakable waves in his heart.

"Xiaoyue...I like you..."

"Will we meet again in this life..."

At this moment, Mo Xuanche's throat trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse and affectionate, like a whisper that had traveled through the long years, echoing in the silent night sky.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the night wind blowing gently through the pavilion, carrying a bit of sadness and tenderness. It seemed to be gently responding to the call in Mo Xuanche's heart, but ultimately failed to give him the answer he expected.
