The feast caused Yue Chanjuan's heart to sink. Even though the two envoys from Big Moon were so outstanding, they were still unable to ease the knot in her heart.

That figure was still lingering in her mind.

"Don't tell me that before I left, I didn't even have the chance to see him?"

The noise of the banquet could faintly be heard. She became even more fed up with the music and dancing of silk and bamboo.

Thinking of his thoughts, inadvertently, he turned a corner and bumped into a solid body.

"Princess, please forgive me."

A pair of slender hands held her steadily, just in time, holding her hand.

Yue Chan slightly lifted her eyes. This voice seemed to have been heard somewhere just now. The slightly coarse magnetism stirred people's hearts.

What entered his eyes was a pair of warm eyes. The autumn waves sparkled, reflecting the bright moon and stars in the sky. The slightly rough hands were warm and dry, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

"It's you?"

Tuoba Fei, dressed in the Hu suit, appeared in front of him. His handsome face had a gentle smile on it, but he didn't let go.

The smell of the soft palm burrowed into his nostrils. He took a deep breath and became intoxicated. The beautiful woman in front of him left gracefully with the wind, causing him to want to embrace her tightly.

"Prince Xian of the Left, I didn't hurt you, right?"

He calmly took his hand. He was holding it so tightly that he didn't pull it back for a moment. She looked at Prince Xian of the Left with her deep, dark eyes. It would be inappropriate if anyone were to see her clenching her hands so tightly here. This Prince Xian of the Left didn't seem like a lackey who was mesmerized by beauty.

Just as he thought this, his hand was released. The personal maid, Qin Yun and Chess Yu, had already walked up and were staring at Tuoba Fei with unfriendly eyes.

"How dare you be so rude to her highness."

Qin Yun yelled in a low voice. If it wasn't for the fact that her opponent was the Great Moon Branch's Prince Xian of the Left, she would have been worried that someone else would see this scene and not shout out in such a low voice. She had already raised her hand and focused her gaze on her opponent. If there was anything strange with Tuoba Fei, she would immediately attack.

"Don't be rude, step down!"

Yue Chanjuan reprimanded him coldly. She signaled with her eyes for Qin Yun and Chess Language to be on both sides of him. This was a forbidden palace, Prince Xian of the Left definitely wouldn't do anything inappropriate.

Looking at the smiling face and meaningful gaze of the Prince of Zuo Xian, Tuoba Fei, he knew he was the most powerful figure among the Huns. It was best not to offend him.

A smile appeared on his face, it was a smile that was a little too alluring, "Thank you, Prince Xian of the Left for your assistance, I was too hasty in my steps."

"Princess is too serious, it's just that the foreign officials were too rash. Princess, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, Prince Xian of the Left did not drink at the feast, why are you here?"

When he looked closer, he saw that not far away was the railing. The lights here were dim too, and a large area of darkness shrouded the surroundings. There was a wave of green water below the railing. Originally, she had wanted to rely on it to think of something.

Today was the day that an envoy came to see the Big Moon Branch to choose the person he wanted to marry. However, there was no longer any room for redemption when it came to getting out and getting married.

"This King doesn't have enough alcohol, so I came here to sober up."

This excuse was not good. This was the forbidden palace. Deep in his heart, he had a feeling that Prince Xian of the Left, Tuoba Fei, should not be someone who would act so recklessly in the forbidden palace.

Deep in his heart, he had a favorable impression of Tuoba Fei, but that was all. Taking two steps back, he widened the distance between him and Tuoba Fei. Just now, when he was close to Tuoba Fei, his heart had actually raced. The smell of a man entered his nostrils. It was the smell of grass under the sunlight.

"Could it be that this is the smell of the plains and highlands?"

In his heart, he actually felt a faint sense of anticipation. On the red horse prairie, in the vast and endless green prairie, he rode a blood-red steed at flying speed.

If that's the case, then I won't disturb Prince Xian of the Left to view the moon while facing the waves.

Twisting around and wanting to leave this place, she was a noble princess. Having too much contact with a Hun slave that she had just met would be highly critical. Although she didn't care too much about it, it was always good to have something less to do.

A hand grabbed her wrist and exerted a bit of force, catching Yue Chan off guard as she fell into Tuoba Fei's embrace.

Yue Chanjuan slightly furrowed her brows, a hint of coldness appearing on her brows. She used all her strength to support Tuoba Fei's chest, and an alluring curve appeared on her lips. What was this Prince Xian of the Left up to?

"Prince Xian of the Left, don't forget that this is the imperial palace of the Great Kang. Your Royal Highness, you're drunk. "

"This King has never been drunk. If I'm drunk, it's because of you!"

Yue Chanjuan was flabbergasted. Was this Prince Xian of the Left confessing something to her?

Her delicate body was tightly pressed against Prince Xian of the Left's bosom. Her tiny body was not even close to Prince Xian of the Left's shoulder yet. If one were to look at Prince Xian of the Left, one would have to raise their head and touch their mouths.

Yue Chanjuan turned pale with fright. She hurriedly tried to turn her head away, but her slender waist was tightly held by her powerful arms. Prince Xian of the Left lowered his head, unwilling to let go. He was intoxicated by such sweetness and allure.

Tuoba Fei sank into that beautiful feeling and tightly embraced his slender waist. He felt the delicate temperature through his thin silk clothes and refused to let go.

A faint smell of alcohol came from Prince Xian of the Left's mouth. Yue Chanjuan's slender waist was held tightly, and one of her hands was also grabbed. Prince Xian of the Left's strength was beyond her expectations. She had never expected him to be so abrupt.

There was some slight panic on his face. From what he had seen earlier, he felt that this Prince Xian of the Left should be a wise and calm person. He didn't want to be so bold as to dare to disrespect her in the palace.

"Let go of the princess, or blood will splash out three feet."

Qin Yun pulled out the dagger from his sleeve and placed it on the left and right sides of Prince Xian's ribs. Their eyes were filled with anger as they glared at Prince Xian of the Left.

Tuoba Fei also didn't expect that the maid beside the princess would actually dare to point her dagger at him. Yue Chanjuan took the opportunity to bite through his skin. He raised his knee and struck towards Tuoba Fei's leg.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tuoba Fei's mouth as his body suddenly fell backwards. The dagger that was pressed against his ribs missed.

Yue Chanjuan's body lost its center of gravity and was brought down by Tuoba Fei. She landed heavily on top of Tuoba Fei's body. With one flip, the two of them stood up again. However, there was a gap between them.

Tuoba Fei continued to hold onto Yue Chanjuan's slender waist. Shockingly, there was a bright and vibrant dagger in his abdomen. The dagger had already pierced through his clothes.

"I can't believe that the noble princess of the Great Kang Dynasty would carry a sharp blade with her."

The handsome face didn't have the slightest trace of fear. The corners of his lips curved up in an interested smile. The woman in front of him was truly surprising. As far as she knew, the princesses were all timid and extremely delicate nobles.

Her cold smile caused the bright moon in the sky to lose its luster. The expression on Yue Chanjuan's face was ethereal and beautiful, as if she were not even in the mortal world. Tuoba Fei looked at Yue Chan absentmindedly, as if he had forgotten that there was still a sharp dagger at his abdomen.

"Prince Xian of the Left, is this the etiquette of the Huns?"

There was a hint of anger in her eyes. She was a princess, and no one was allowed to be so rude.

"Princess, you don't want others to see it like this, right? Sooner or later, the princess will get involved with someone else. Don't tell me this king isn't worthy of the princess?"

His eyes were flowing with light, and his well-defined face was even more tempting when seen from close up. There was a touch of gentleness in his tone, as well as a rarely seen heroic look on the face of a well-to-do man. It was a pity that Yue Chanjuan was not tempted at all.

Qin Yun and Chess Yu had already gotten close to Tuoba Fei at the same time, using the daggers in their hands to stop him.

Yue Chanjuan's gaze swept across her surroundings. This place was dark and gloomy, thus, no one noticed this place. She did not want to be seen by others. Talking to Prince Xian of the Left alone here would violate the dignity and rules of a princess.

Even though she didn't really care about these things, she didn't want to give anyone reason to blame her. Carefully maintaining a low profile within the palace, she only wanted to live on, preserve her own life, and fulfill all the wishes she had made over the years.

In the imperial harem, a single mistake on the part of a misstep would bring about a disaster. Even if he was completely innocent, he would not be able to escape this calamity. She had long known of this principle and had always stayed within her own palace, rarely leaving. If that was the case, it would be impossible to avoid disaster. She had no other choice.

Here, one word from Emperor Sheng could take her life.

One year ago, after the crown prince, Yue Wuque, died from poison, she had thought that he would be executed because of this. At the very least, he would be sent to the clan's residence and imprisoned.
