Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Mother~"

Mo Xuanche suddenly broke free from the abyss of nightmare. When he opened his eyes, he found himself gently surrounded by an embrace as gentle as spring water.

He slowly raised his head, and what came into his sight was Bai Yue's beautiful face. At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, and the sharpness of the past was gone, replaced by an unprecedented tranquility and peace.

He looked around and saw that they were in a deep cave. The cold air in the cave was in stark contrast to the warmth given by the white moon.

An inexplicable emotion surged in Mo Xuanche's heart, and he involuntarily exchanged positions with Bai Yue, just like a child who had found his most beloved treasure. He carefully held her in his arms, as if to use his body temperature to dispel the coldness around him.

After confirming that Bai Yue was still immersed in sleep, a gentle impulse surged in Mo Xuanche's heart. He gently stroked her soft head with his chin, and then, in an almost pious whisper, as if confessing to God, he slowly spoke.

"Your Highness, if you don't mind, would you like to listen to me tell you a story?"

Mo Xuanche's voice was low and trembling, as if every word carried a thousand pounds of memories.

"There once was a little boy. His father was an emperor, a figurehead of all men, and his mother was a humble maid deep in the palace. His birth was nothing more than an accidental mishap by that noble body, in its drunken haze."

"Since his birth, he has never enjoyed the glory and respect that comes with being a royal family. But fortunately, although his father, whom he has never met, did not treat him as a prince, he did provide them with a roof over their heads and three meals a day."

"Under the shelter of that simple home, the little boy's heart was filled with pure happiness. Although the hut was simple, laughter was always there. At that time, he truly felt that all the misfortunes in the world had nothing to do with him."

"However, the day his father passed away marked a turning point in his life. A group of well-dressed people suddenly swarmed into his world, chanting "Long live the emperor!" They lifted the ignorant boy onto the supreme throne and told him that from that moment on, he was the master of this land."

"At that moment, the little boy's heart was filled with unprecedented joy. He saw his mother dressed in dazzling and gorgeous clothes. He naively believed that happy days had begun and that he would be able to lead his mother to an even more glorious future."

"But when the Queen Mother's cold face appeared before him, all his beautiful fantasies were instantly shattered. That vicious woman actually commanded a group of women who claimed to be noble and virtuous ladies to commit atrocities against my mother, and she even asked me to witness it all with my own eyes, smiling..."

Having said that, Mo Xuanche clenched his hands into fists, veins bulging out. Those were the scars deep in his soul that would never heal.

"My mother's face was twisted in a pool of blood, yet she still forced a smile, asking me to be a good emperor. I hated that vicious woman, and I hated those hypocritical daughters of noble families. But what I hated most was myself—why was I so cowardly? Why did I obey that woman's wishes and bear witness to my mother's suffering with a smile on my face..."

Tears dripped onto Bai Yueru's jade-like face and quietly slid into her lips. At this moment, she gently opened her lips, and the sound was like a gentle comfort and a distant sigh.

"But you have indeed become a good emperor."

Mo Xuanche was like a lost deer at this moment, with anxiety and expectation flashing in his eyes. He stared at Bai Yue's eyes that were open and as clear as moonlight, and whispered softly.

"Am I...am I a good emperor?"

"Yes, although you are a scheming person, particularly fond of acting, and you are also very petty, and sometimes you get angry for no apparent reason..."

Bai Yue winked playfully and started to criticize Mo Xuanche.

"But when I was treating the people, they were talking about you, the good emperor who had reduced taxes, redeveloped farmland, opened up trade, and ensured that every household had enough food and clothing, freeing them from the hunger and cold of the past!"

Bai Yue patted Mo Xuanche's shoulder heavily, and her smile was as warm and bright as the moon in the sky.

However, this warm scene was fleeting, and a touch of heat suddenly invaded her smile, like a thunderstorm in a summer afternoon, coming unexpectedly.

Just when Bai Yue decided to perform some clever moves of women's self-defense, she felt the gentle caress of fine water droplets on her cheek again, so she finally sighed, thinking that it was just to comfort a poor person who had scars hidden deep in his heart.

I thought there was a cave hidden behind the green walls and red cliffs, and a beautiful woman was half lying on the moon, her silk clothes half open, revealing the fragrant jade dew, and her jade-like cheeks were covered with beads of powder and sweat.

The wind blows the boat far away, the waves hit the front, the boat tries to get closer but smoke appears. The beauty suddenly gets angry and frowns, refusing to let the boat in.

A series of crisp and loud slapping sounds suddenly echoed in the cave, and then, like a flower illuminated by the early morning light, Mo Xuanche's handsome face was covered with several eye-catching crimson palm prints.

"Your Majesty, now you should be sober?"

Bai Yue rolled her eyes at Mo Xuanche and said.

The other party looked innocent, covering his face exaggeratedly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Oh, Your Highness, the strength of your hands is three times sharper than the fairy wind in the Moon Palace! I was just in that fairy palace, drinking the fairy peach and jade liquid with the jade rabbits, and planning to make the legendary elixir myself. I was just about to learn the art of pounding medicine..."

"Alright, the Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace said that their little world can't accommodate a giant like you. From now on, you should just stay in the human world and stop thinking about sneaking into the heavens."

As she spoke, Bai Yue stood up lightly, staring intently at Mo Xuanche who was still lying leisurely on the ground. The latter, with an attitude of "I just love lying like this and talking to people", looked at Bai Yue in front of him with a smile.

"By the way, how did you know I was on that cliff, and why did you run to save me?!"

Bai Yue looked down at Mo Xuanche condescendingly, with an unquestionable majesty in her attitude.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuanche simply lay down, put his hands behind his head, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's because my heart has long been firmly tied to you. Even if it means going to the ends of the earth, through mountains of swords and seas of fire, as long as you are in trouble, I will naturally be the first to charge forward."

"Haha, Your Majesty, I'm truly overwhelmed by your favor. I wonder if your carefully arranged guards will be shocked and overwhelmed when they see us leaping side by side from that thousand-foot cliff!"

Bai Yue smiled with her eyes curved and spoke playfully to Mo Xuanche in front of her.

"What did you say? We...jumped off a cliff?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuanche sat up straight. He looked at Bai Yue in disbelief, his tone full of shock and confusion.
