Chapter 222 In the end, it was all for naught!
Xin Moyan hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, "No, no, no! Don't be impulsive."
"Yan'er, don't stop me."
Xuan Yuan's face was extremely gloomy, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they cracked. He was determined to teach Yuan Huaijun a lesson this time.
“Xuanyuan, you’re not usually this impulsive! Besides, he’s the emperor. If you hit the emperor, you’ll be beheaded.”
"You're the only one I care about. He's bullied you, how could I not act impulsively?"
"But you can't go and hit him!"
Xuan Yuan gripped the pale wrist on his robe, his expression more serious than ever before. "You're protecting him. You've always been protecting him."
He hesitated for a moment before saying hesitantly, "Yan'er, you... don't have any feelings for him at all, right?"
Wha...what?
Xin Moyan was stunned for a long time, then immediately retorted, "When did I protect him? I admit that he kissed me, but I have never had that kind of feeling for His Majesty. Xuan Yuan, I didn't expect you to not believe me!"
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but he’s a very shrewd and calculating man. I’m afraid you’ll be deceived by him.”
Xin Moyan was furious, her delicate features flushed with anger. She shouted, "What are you lying about? I'd rather die than submit! And you still say I'm interested in him, that I was deceived by him? Even if you're the most skilled in martial arts, if you were to attack His Majesty, he's the Emperor! I'm afraid he'll execute your entire family..."
She suddenly choked, as if Xuan Yuan and His Majesty were from the same clan...
"No matter what, Xuan Yuan, let me tell you, if you don't trust me, then there's no point in us being together."
Xuan Yuan was immediately taken aback. "Yan'er, are you saying we don't need to be together?"
"That's right! You don't believe me anyway, so there's no point in me explaining anymore." Xin Moyan waved her hand and turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
Seeing her puffed-up face, Xuan Yuan sighed helplessly in his heart, "Yan'er, when did I say I didn't believe you?"
"You just don't believe me!"
He reached out, but before he could actually touch her clothes, she flung him away and took two steps away, creating a clear distance between them.
It was obvious that Xin Moyan was angry, and furious at that...
“Yan’er, he kissed you, shouldn’t I be angry? Is it wrong for me to warn him? Besides, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that I think you’re naive and could be fooled by him. He’s not like Lou Shenghan.”
"What do you mean I'm naive? Are you saying I'm stupid?"
"...Yan'er, do you know that's not what I meant?"
She raised her hand in a pause gesture, her expression very serious. "Xuanyuan, I just went to ask His Majesty to retract his decree. Although he refused and even... kissed me, I have never wavered in my resolve. I also want to ask my aunt for help, and I am trying my best not to become the Empress. You can't go and teach His Majesty a lesson just because I was kissed. He is the Emperor, and you are just a prince. What if he punishes you?"
"I can choose not to be a prince."
"..."
Xin Moyan rolled her eyes. "But the problem isn't something that can be solved by whether you become a prince or not. I... never mind, you calm down, and I'll calm down too!"
She took another big step back, pointed at him, and said, "Xuanyuan, from now on, don't follow me."
"Yan'er, you..."
"Hmph! I don't want to talk to you right now. Do whatever you want!" With that, she turned and left without giving him a chance to explain.
Seeing that she had misunderstood him, Xuan Yuan sighed again, feeling powerless for the first time.
Xin Moyan wandered aimlessly along the path, her mind filled with Xuan Yuan's question about whether she had feelings for Yuan Huaijun. She didn't know how to express her feelings at this moment; she just felt inexplicably wronged. Just now in the Imperial Study, she really wanted to prove her innocence with her death, but she didn't expect Xuan Yuan to not believe her!
That damn man, sob sob sob~ I've wasted my time on him!
Xie Cangming leaned against the artificial hill, striking what he thought was a very elegant pose, but Xin Moyan walked right past him without even glancing at him...
"Mo'er".
Xin Moyan didn't hear it, thinking to herself that she would definitely complain about Xuan Yuan to Buyu when she got back.
"Mo'er?"
"what!"
She was startled. "Uncle Xie, what are you doing here?"
Xie Cangming walked over helplessly, and just as he was about to ask her what happened, he inadvertently noticed the wound on her mouth and couldn't help but tease, "Oh! That guy really doesn't know his own strength. How can Mo'er face anyone now!"
Xin Moyan realized what was happening and explained dejectedly, "Uncle Xie, it wasn't Xuan Yuan."
A hint of surprise flashed in her blue eyes. "Wh...what? Mo'er, you've been unfaithful?"
“…Uncle.” Xin Moyan was speechless.
"Hehe~ Tell your uncle, what's going on? Why does Mo'er seem a little unhappy?"
As they walked and talked, Xin Moyan finally told him the whole story, which made Xie Cangming laugh out loud.
"So, this was done by His Majesty? And Xuan Yuan even said he was going to teach them a lesson?"
"Well, Uncle, don't you think he's being a bit too much? He even doubts me."
Seeing her pleading look, Xie Cangming suppressed a laugh and nodded solemnly, "Yes, Xuan Yuan is indeed quite unreasonable. He actually dared to doubt our Mo'er. You risked the serious crime of disobeying the imperial decree, and he still said such things to you. Next time I see him, I will definitely give him a good talking-to."
“Mo’er, in your uncle’s opinion, since Xuan Yuan doesn’t trust you so much, and His Majesty has personally made you Empress, then Mo’er should just go and be Empress. Let’s see who dares to make you suffer.”
Xin Moyan's lips twitched slightly. "Uncle, instead of helping me figure out how to solve this, you're adding fuel to the fire..."
"Hehe~ Solve what?"
"Of course, it's His Majesty's imperial edict! Uncle Xie, do you have a solution?"
He gently patted Xin Moyan's head. "Mo'er, don't you want to be His Majesty's Empress?"
"No, Uncle Xie, I don't want to be the Empress, nor do I want to marry His Majesty."
"Let's go then!"
"Where to go?"
"Uncle will take you back to the mansion."
She paused for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. "Uncle, I still need to go find my aunt for help!"
Xie Cangming took her wrist and said with a smile, "Mo'er, don't worry, your aunt is helping you right now! She even said she'd treat her uncle to dinner last time, let's go!"
"That……"
"Okay, okay! Uncle won't lie to you."
She was a little confused, but she still followed Xie Cangming out of the palace.
"Uncle, don't you think they're being strange? His Majesty is his elder brother, how can they just hit him like that?"
"Hehe~ Mo'er will know in the future."
