Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Player, are you a devil? Can't you give this sweet love game a little face?"

"I originally thought you cut off contact with Chu Xingyu because he treated you differently, but it turns out you cut off contact just because he blocked your way on the way to the gathering point! What's the matter with you?"

"Player, I really don't understand your train of thought. Why do I feel like you're more of a system than mine?"

Xiao 1 was whirling and roaring wildly in Bai Yue's mind. The piercing sound of the electric current gave Bai Yue a headache, as if millions of small insects were buzzing in his ears.

"Okay, okay, Xiao 1, stop it. I know what I did was wrong. I will think twice next time!"

Although Bai Yue was confused and didn't understand where she had gone wrong, she decided to calm this little ancestor down first.

"Xiao 1, don't worry, if Chu Xingyu is willing, I will definitely restore my relationship with him!"

Bai Yue promised Xiao 1 solemnly.

"But judging by that guy's bad temper, I think the chances are slim!"

Bai Yue felt that with Chu Xingyu's arrogant personality, the two of them might just have to live out their own lives and not disturb each other.

At this moment, deep in the palace, Mo Xuanche was laughing so hard because of the report from a black-clad guard.

"You said that Crown Princess Chenyun actually pulled out Lin Qinghe's teeth in front of everyone at the gate of the hostage house?"

"Your Majesty, it was actually because Her Highness the Princess said she had a toothache that the Crown Princess kindly treated her."

The black-clad guard recalled Princess Qinghe's shrill screams that day, and guessed that Bai Yue might have pulled out the princess's teeth directly without any prior preparation.

"Oh? I heard from the Queen Mother that this woman was indeed seeking medical treatment everywhere because of her toothache. Crown Princess Chenyun was able to help her solve her years of pain. She should be extremely grateful!"

"However, the princess was furious after returning home and even pestered Duke Lin to come to the palace to ask the Queen Mother to seek justice for her and punish Crown Princess Chenyun!"

"Is that so? But I haven't heard any news of Duke Lin entering the palace!"

Mo Xuanche said, putting away his smile.

"It was the virtuous prince who stopped Duke Lin. He said that Princess Qinghe had injured civilians at the gate of the hostage residence that day, and now the people are angry. Duke Lin should punish Princess Qinghe first to calm the people's resentment."

"Oh, my younger uncle is indeed more far-sighted than my elder uncle. However, if the Lin family were all idiots like Duke Lin and Qinghe, they would be doomed to decline even if the Queen Mother were still alive!"

When the title of the Wise King was mentioned, a gloom unconsciously covered Mo Xuanche's brows.

That shadow was the trace left by the powerful Lin family, to which the virtuous king belonged. It was with the support of the queen mother that they could stand firm, like an eternal giant tree.

"Besides this, is there anything else important?"

Mo Xuanche withdrew his thoughts from the shadow of the Lin family and continued to search for other information.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report!"

The guard responded respectfully, and then reported to Mo Xuanche everything that Bai Yue and Chu Xingyu had experienced in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

"This Crown Princess Chenyun is truly obsessed with tooth extraction. When interrogating a prisoner, she actually threatened to knock out his teeth. This method is quite unique."

Mo Xuanche had not expected that Bai Yue had such a fierce side, but then he thought, it was just a few teeth knocked out, perhaps this was the limit of what she could do.

"Your Majesty, this is wrong."

The guard shook his head and said solemnly.

"Among the many methods of torture, knocking out teeth may seem simple, but if you really want to knock them out one by one, the execution and technique required are extremely difficult."

"And the most important thing is the psychological pressure on the prisoners. Watching their teeth being knocked out one by one over and over again, that kind of horror is not something that ordinary people can endure!"

Recalling the scene of that day, the black-clad guard still felt a chill down his spine. After all, interrogation was a battle of psychology and will, and in yesterday's battle, Bai Yue was undoubtedly the stronger one.

"So, according to you, Crown Princess Chenyun is a cold-blooded and heartless person? Could it be that the care she has shown to the people of Wulie these days is just a carefully orchestrated show?"

After hearing his subordinates' words, Mo Xuanche frowned slightly and his heart began to surge.

"No, Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness's rescue of the people was absolutely sincere. Otherwise, how could she be so furious at Princess Qinghe for injuring a commoner, even mercilessly pulling out her teeth?"

The black-clad guard was eager to defend Bai Yue and accidentally revealed the truth of what happened that day.

"Oh? It's not a cure, but a punishment!"

Mo Xuanche said softly with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, what I just said was all speculation. Please do not blame the Crown Princess for it!"

The man in black realized that he had spoken out of turn and quickly knelt on the ground, trying to make amends.

"Why, I just said it casually, and you are so eager to excuse the Crown Princess? I asked you to monitor her for a while, could it be that you have developed feelings for her?"

Mo Xuanche's lips curled up in a sneer, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"No, Your Majesty, I am completely loyal to Your Majesty and have no second thoughts! I simply believe that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is truly a kind person..."

"Her Shura form only attacks the wicked, but when it comes to innocent people, she is truly as compassionate as an immortal!"

The black-clad guard's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, until he was almost mumbling to himself.

"Forget it. From now on, you don't need to monitor Crown Princess Chenyun anymore. The border is in great need of men now. You should just go and serve in the army!"

Mo Xuanche waved his hand, interrupting the black-clad guard's explanation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The black-clad guard kowtowed to express his gratitude, and when he stood up, his face had regained its composure. He knew that he would never be able to return to the capital from now on, so he straightened his back and strode out of the palace.

"Just what kind of enchantress is this Crown Princess Chenyun? In just one month, even my most capable officers have fallen head over heels for her!"

Mo Xuanche's interest in Bai Yue was burning again. He was full of doubts. What kind of personal charm could make his subordinates be fascinated by her just by observing her behavior, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force.

"Xingzhu!"

Mo Xuanche's voice echoed in the empty hall, shaking people's eardrums like thunder.

Soon, a middle-aged eunuch came in hurriedly from outside the hall, his face full of respect, as if he was facing a god.

"Xingzhu, I now order you to go to Prime Minister Su's residence immediately and convey my will!"

Mo Xuanche said in a deep voice, every word revealing unquestionable authority.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please tell me what your order is."

"Tell Prime Minister Su that I fell in love with his daughter, Su Mengqi, at first sight and have decided to take her into my harem!"

A playful smile appeared on Mo Xuanche's face.

"Your Majesty, what rank should be granted to Miss Su?"

Xingzhu asked cautiously. He knew that Mo Xuanche had been leaving the palace frequently recently just to have secret meetings with Miss Su. If he didn't handle this matter properly, he might offend the new noble Su Mengqi.

"Position? Hmm... let's give her the title of 'Cai Nu'!"

He answered nonchalantly, as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Cai Nu? Your Majesty, this... this is the lowest position in the palace. Giving Miss Su such a position is a bit..."

Xingzhu never expected Mo Xuanche to make such a decision, so he reminded him hesitantly, fearing that what their Majesty had just said was just a joke.

"Well, that's right. After all, she is the apple of Prime Minister Su's eye, so let's give her the title of imperial concubine!"

Mo Xuanche pondered for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly and announced with a smile.

"According to the order!"

The imperial concubine is only one rank higher than the concubine. It seems that Su Mengqi had been abandoned by Mo Xuanche before she even entered the palace.

"Humph, I guess I've done Xingyu that brat a big favor, saving him from being toyed around by women every day!"

Mo Xuanche smiled proudly, as if he had really done a great good deed.

Just as Xingzhu was about to leave the hall, Mo Xuanche suddenly seemed to remember something and continued to give instructions.

"Oh, by the way, isn't the Autumn Hunt coming up soon? Pass the order on. This year, all officials above the fifth rank can participate in the Autumn Hunt, and each official can bring one relative."

"As you wish, I'll do it right away!"

After Xingzhu bowed respectfully, Mo Xuanche continued.

"Also, Crown Prince Chenyun must be invited to participate in this autumn hunt, and the Crown Princess must also be present as a relative!"

"Yes!"

After Xingzhu received the order, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that His Majesty was probably planning to take advantage of Crown Princess Chenyun again.

After Xingzhu left, Mo Xuanche was the only one left in the hall.

He reclined on the couch, a smile glittering in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to the lively scene of the upcoming autumn hunting.

"Everyone, have you heard? Just yesterday, the stunning Miss Su Mengqi, the daughter of Prime Minister Su's family, blatantly disobeyed the imperial decree and refused to be admitted into the palace! Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister was furious and even invoked the family law to give Miss Su a severe lesson!"

"Oh, you can't say that. Wasn't there a rumor a while ago that Miss Su rejected the young marquis's proposal because she wanted to participate in the selection of concubines? The selection will be held in a few days. Could this be someone with ulterior motives spreading rumors and causing trouble?"

"How could I be so blatant? My relative's son's neighbor was one of the guards who accompanied the imperial edict yesterday. I heard that the eunuch who delivered the edict was so angry that he glared and said he had never seen such a bold woman!"

"Oh? Speaking of audacity, I have another piece of gossip to share. Did you know that the reason the Prime Minister attacked Miss Su wasn't just because she refused to enter the palace? I heard that Miss Su had secretly fallen in love with a man and even secretly decided to marry him!"

"Oh, in this way, the young marquis who was rejected by Miss Su has really escaped a disaster. Otherwise, he would have been covered in green before he even got married!"

Overnight, the news that Su Mengqi disobeyed the imperial order and refused to enter the palace spread like wildfire in the streets and alleys. Even Bai Yue learned about it from the people while she was treating patients.

"Su Mengqi is a woman of character. Although she often takes advantage of Chu Xingyu, she is able to reject the powerful Mo Xuanche for the one she loves. She is a woman of character and deserves praise!"

After Bai Yue sent the last patient away, she smiled and said to Xiaoyi who was helping to clean up.

"Hmph, what a woman with personality! I think Su Mengqi must have a lot of evil intentions hidden in her heart. Princess, you are too kind, so you were deceived by these cunning people!"

Xiaoyi grumbled in dissatisfaction, her face full of disdain for Su Mengqi.

"Haha, it turns out that I am still a kind person in Xiaoyi's heart!"

As Bai Yue finished speaking, a young man carrying a backpack walked lightly to Bai Yue and asked in a voice that was a bit humble and inquiring.

"Excuse me, are you still seeing patients here?"

Bai Yue looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled gently.

"Of course, may I ask what's wrong with you, young man?"

The man scratched his head and smiled shyly.

"Actually, I'm in pretty good health. However, I'm about to join the army, so I came here to ask the Crown Princess to examine me to see if I have any underlying illnesses."

Bai Yue nodded, motioning the man to sit on the stool in front of her. She gently took the man's pulse, closed her eyes slightly, and felt it carefully.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and nodded.

"Well, my dear, you are in good health, so there is no need to worry too much."

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Crown Princess, for your diagnosis and treatment!"

The man stood up and thanked her, then prepared to leave, but Bai Yue suddenly laughed and said.

"Wait a minute, little brother. I have something to give you. Can you wait a moment?"

"Gift it to me?"

The man looked at Bai Yue in surprise, while the other party gave a few instructions to Xiaoyi beside him, and Xiaoyi hurried into the mansion to prepare.

After a while, Xiaoyi came out with bags of things. Bai Yue took them and handed them to the man with a smile.

"Your Highness, we have never met before. How can I accept such a generous gift from you?"

The man waved his hands to refuse, but Bai Yue smiled and joked.

"Haven't you been secretly monitoring me for over a month? From this point of view, we can be considered acquaintances!"

The man was surprised when he heard this.

"You...you know me?"

"Of course, sometimes you're dressed like a commoner when you blend in with the crowd, but sometimes you're dressed like a merchant on the street!"

"I have a pretty good memory. I can recognize you every time you change your clothes, so I guess you are spying on me!"

Bai Yue smiled calmly, while the man was shocked by her words.

"Looks like you've accomplished your mission, surveillance guy! As your surveillance target, I naturally prepared some gifts for you!"

"These are just some medicine and food, not valuables. Didn't you say you were going to join the army? Then these should be useful to you."
