Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Back then, sixteen of us in my mansion, plus the one hundred and two scholars in the academy, were accused of plotting to usurp the throne just because we collected a few dozen knives!"

"But the late emperor had two to three hundred concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. With just the old, weak, women and children in our Yue family, I don't think we can even defeat the concubines of his Yun family!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Wangyou's tone, but Bai Yue heard deep sadness and anger in this joke.

"I was only two years old at the time. Thanks to a visit to Grandma Ni's house, I was lucky enough to escape the disaster. Later, she sent me to Grandma Mo Qingyan of the Wulin League..."

"Hey, Brother Lu, let me digress for a moment. This Grandma Mo Qingyan you're talking about, isn't she the famous Master Mo of Zhujian Villa?"

"Yes, yes, it's her. How come, Xiaoyue, you know her too?"

"Oh, I don't know her, but my grandfather is quite familiar with her. By the way, are Grandma Ni and Grandma Mo close?"

Bai Yue blinked and asked with a puzzled look.

"Well, Grandma Mo said that she and Grandma Ni were just close friends who got to know each other through fighting. But I'm confused. They're both so close, why would they start fighting?"

"Haha, although I know, I'm embarrassed to say it!"

When Bai Yue thought of Mo Yingyun and her two confidantes, and how they had transformed from rivals in love to best friends, she couldn't help but sigh that the women who liked his grandfather were indeed extraordinary.

"Why did Grandma send you there?"

"Because she said that wherever there is imperial power, there will always be struggles, so she hopes that I can find a place without power struggles and live a happy and carefree life!"

"And Grandma Mo also agreed with Grandma Ni's idea, so she didn't teach me any martial arts. Instead, she sent me directly to Wangyou Valley to learn medicine from Grandpa Fu!"

"Grandpa Fu?"

"Well, he's a world-renowned miracle doctor, and he's highly respected in the Wulin Alliance! Wangyou Valley is a place he built for people to escape from the world. He hopes that everyone who lives there can forget the past and live a peaceful and stable life from now on!"

“This Grandpa Fu not only saved lives, but also had the grand ambition to redeem people’s hearts. He is truly an amazing person!”

After Bai Yue sighed with a smile, Lu Wangyou immediately nodded in agreement.

"My name was also given to me by Grandpa Fu. He hopes that I can break free from the hatred of the past and live my own life!"

"But how could I, a young man, let go of this hatred so easily? My grandfather had always been a man of steel, and all the uncles and aunts in the academy were filled with passion and determined to serve their country. But because of the dirty power play within the Yun family, over a hundred lives were wiped out in the blink of an eye!"

"At that time, I secretly vowed to master the most toxic poison technique and make the Yun royal family, who had destroyed my family, pay with blood. But when I learned that Grandma Ni, who saved me, was also a member of the royal family, my revenge began to waver..."

Lu Wangyou's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. Bai Yue did not speak, but just silently held the other's hand.

"After His Majesty completely cleared our Yue family of the grievances, I decided to let go and never have anything to do with Wenqu Country again. However, I didn't expect that because of Yun Qingjie and Wen Leixin's incident, I would set foot on this land again..."

"Speaking of which, Brother Lu, regarding Yun Qingjie's auspicious cloud mark, have you verified this with Grandma Ni?"

"It has been confirmed, it is true!"

Lu Wangyou nodded embarrassedly, while Bai Yue said with a smile.

"Haha, then the misunderstanding between you and Yun Qingjie has disappeared, right? Now, you can take Tianle and Wen Leixin and leave this sad place together. When you return to Wangyou Village, you can start your life anew!"

"But I don't want to go back yet..."

"Brother Lu, if you're worried that Wen Leixin won't go with you, I can go to the palace and steal her..."

"No, it's not because of Lei Xin...it's because, because..."

Before Bai Yue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Wangyou, who stared at her with deep eyes, as if there were thousands of words stuck in his throat that he couldn't utter.

At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall was suddenly pushed open, and Yun Qingjie and Ni Yuecheng, who looked exhausted, stepped in side by side.

"Qingjie, look, am I right? Wangyou is with Yuzhi. We really don't know where your princess is hiding!"

When Lu Wangyou saw their posture, he seemed to realize something in an instant. He stared at Yun Qingjie and scolded him.

"Yun Qingjie, how did you get here? Could it be that you have been watching me secretly?"

But the other party acted as if he didn't hear anything, and just carefully scanned the neatly arranged tablets in the ancestral hall. Then he slowly knelt down, kowtowed three times respectfully to the tablets, and reverently lit three incense sticks.

After all this was done, his gaze swept over Lu Wangyou and Bai Yue pretending to be Yuzhi, then he turned to Ni Yuecheng in disappointment and said with a hint of apology in his tone.

"Grandma, I'm truly sorry for disturbing Duke Zhong's peace."

"Oh, forget it. I know you are desperate to find the princess, and I understand your friendship."

Seeing that Yun Qingjie did not see through Bai Yue's disguise, Ni Yuecheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.

After the two men left, Bai Yue let out a long sigh and muttered:

"I never thought that Prince Cheng could find this corner! But luckily, I was smart and had already prepared my disguise!"

"Xiaoyue, tell me honestly, is there really no love at all between you and Yun Qingjie? But when I look at him..."

"What's wrong with looking at him?"

"The look in his eyes clearly shows that he's interested in you!"

Lu Wangyou gritted his teeth and finally poured out all the guesses in his heart.

"Haha, no, no, Yun Qingjie likes a stunning beauty like Bai Ling!"

Bai Yue reminded Lu Wangyou when she saw his confused look on his face.

"That's the one who hit you with the hydrangea a few days ago!"

"What? That vicious woman who bullies little girls? Yun Qingjie would fall for a woman with such a vicious heart and whose looks are... so unsatisfactory?"

Lu Wangyou's words were full of disbelief.

"Brother Lu, it's not what you said. Although her heart is evil and hopeless, her appearance is still..."

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Lu Wangyou approached her and spoke gently.

"In my eyes, Sister Yue is the most beautiful woman who can topple a country!"
