Having learned of Luo Xuening's location in advance, Long Moxun wasted no time in finding Luo Xuening.

He originally thought that Luo Xuening would not be in a good condition after kneeling for so long, but he didn't expect that when he looked from afar, he saw the blue figure kneeling straight, without any intention of slacking off.

Really, quite honest.

Long Moxun's lips curled slightly, he didn't find it funny, but there was a hint of heartache in his deep eyes.

If he hadn't come today, Luo Xue Ning might have kept kneeling like this. Beside her, there was a palace maid looking at her. Luo Xue Ning, such a proud person, how could she not know not to kneel?

While he was blaming Luo Xue Ning's stupidity in his heart, Long Mo Xun's pace was getting faster and faster, until he was not far in front of Luo Xue Ning, then he slowly adjusted his breathing, slowed down his pace, and walked over with steady and gentle steps.

When Luo Xue Ning heard the voice, she looked up and saw the handsome man walking towards her in the moonlight. The moonlight cast a hazy glow on his body. Luo Xue Ning smiled, a contented smile.

She trusted this man to rescue her and not give up on her in the most critical moment.

At least, the only one who could have discovered his disappearance in the bustling imperial palace and had been so alert to look for this secluded path was Long Moxun.

The two looked at each other. Long Moxun and Luo Xuening were both introverted people who didn't show much emotion in front of others. But in their eyes, one could see a kind of trust. It didn't need to be said to Fang Yan, but it was natural. It was an unspeakable secret between the two of them.

One came walking on the moonlight, handsome, indifferent and calm; the other one looked a little savage, but, so what; in Long Moxun's eyes, there was only the stunning Luo Xuening.

As Long Moxun approached, the palace maid beside him also saw him. Her face turned pale. Following U Anghao, she could still hear some rumors. For example, Prince Jing always looked up to Luo Xuening.

In the past, the palace maids thought that this was pure nonsense. After all, how could a man of Prince Jing's status be willing to stoop to getting involved with a concubine's daughter? However, when the facts were laid out in front of them, they were slapped in the face. Prince Jing actually came in person, and he really treated Luo Xuening differently.

There was a flash of jealousy in her eyes, but the maid could only bow in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Jing, long live the prince."

Long Mo Xun turned a blind eye to the palace maid who was paying her respects. He neither called her to leave nor spoke of any punishment. He just stood there with only Luo Xue Ning in his eyes.

In the end, it was Luo Xue Ning who spoke first. She said with some difficulty: "Prince, help me up."

These four words sounded so natural, without any hesitation or embarrassment. They just expressed that she had been kneeling for too long and needed someone to help her up.

Long Moxun was silent for a moment, and suddenly found that he really enjoyed Luo Xuening's matter-of-fact tone. If she was resentful, or embarrassed to seek help, and struggled alone, he estimated that he would not find her cute at all.

Raising his eyes slightly, Long Moxun stretched out his hand, and his big hand with distinct joints appeared in front of Luo Xuening. He bent slightly, with a gentlemanly demeanor. The palace maid kneeling beside him widened her eyes and was stunned.

Your Highness, Your Highness actually helped this woman up personally?

Luo Xue Ning was even less shy and placed her hand in Long Mo Xun's palm. Long Mo Xun exerted a little force, supported her shoulders and pulled her up. Her temperature in his palm was a little hot, which made Long Mo Xun's face flush.

Fortunately, he drank a little wine today, and thought selfishly that if someone noticed that he blushed, he would use the excuse of being drunk to cover it up, while gently letting go of Luo Xuening's hand.

The more they met, the more Long Moxun found that he had some uncontrollable feelings for Luo Xuening. He must stop this trend as soon as possible before the relationship between them could be sorted out...

It’s a pity that Luo Xuening knew nothing about Long Moxun’s thoughts.

Luo Xue Ning's legs were numb from kneeling for too long. As soon as she stood up, her legs went limp and she almost fell to her knees again. Fortunately, Long Mo Xun reacted quickly and stepped forward to hold Luo Xue Ning's waist.

Skin touches skin, Qi and breath interact...

Long Moxun's face turned red again. Damn it, Long Moxun was secretly annoyed. Why is he more shy than a girl now?

Feeling that Long Moxun's body temperature seemed to be rising at a noticeable rate, the burning Luo Xuening immediately opened her mouth and looked at the flushed Long Moxun with a puzzled expression.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Um."

Long Moxun responded lightly, expressionless, silently withdrew his hand, and stood behind Luo Xuening.

"Are you okay?"

After standing there for a long while, Long Moxun did not urge her until there was no trace of pain on Luo Xuening's face, then he spoke.

"It's all right."

Luo Xuening knew that Long Moxun had already taken a risk by coming out to look for her, and she couldn't delay any longer. There must be someone watching them at the banquet.

"My Lord, let's go."

My knees still hurt a lot. I used my own body to rub against the cold ground. The result was predictable.

However, as soon as Luo Xuening finished speaking, the maid who was in charge of monitoring beside her widened her eyes and shouted, "No."

"Why?"

Luo Xue Ning did it on purpose. Why not? Didn't she know that the Empress wanted to punish her to kneel for two hours? Now, she only knelt for one stick of incense, which was far from two hours.

Long Moxun glanced at the palace maid coldly, and his cold breath instantly suppressed her: "Do you have any opinions?"

"No, no..."

The maid stammered. How could she dare to express any opinion?

"No, Your Majesty, the Queen has ordered that Luo Xuening bumped into the Queen and she should be punished to kneel for two hours. Now, it's not time yet."

"Queen? Who the hell is she?"

Long Moxun said this coldly and took Luo Xuening away. He didn't care about the queen or not.

He and the Queen were sworn enemies. The Queen could use her status to suppress others, but it was completely useless against him.

When the Empress is powerful, he does not have to be afraid of her. If he succeeds in seizing the throne, the wealth of the Empress and Prince Shou's party will no longer exist, and Luo Xuening will no longer have to suffer this kind of pain. But once he fails in seizing the throne, the Empress and her party will not spare his life.

Therefore, Long Moxun had the confidence to say such domineering words as "who the heck is the empress?", and Luo Xuening listened and simply agreed with him.

If the Queen and Prince Shou continue to behave like this, how many more years can they, mother and son, survive?

Queen, how many more years can you remain noble?

Therefore, even if the Queen is unhappy, they just ignore the rule. Queen, the feud has been settled today.
