Nighttime Conversations in the Prince's Mansion, Deepening Affection

After this incident, the relationship between Lin Yue and Li Yi became even closer. One night, Li Yi came to Lin Yue's room. The two sat by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and began to talk about their innermost thoughts. Li Yi sighed with emotion, "This prince's mansion may seem glamorous on the surface, but in fact, it harbors hidden crises. The various forces are intricate and complex. One wrong step, and we could be plunged into an abyss of no return." Lin Yue was deeply touched upon hearing this. "Your Highness, although I come from another world, I can also sense the hardships involved. However, as long as we work together, we will surely overcome these difficulties." Li Yi looked at Lin Yue, his eyes glistening with a special light. "With you by my side, I feel much more at ease. Ever since you came to the prince's mansion, everything has changed." A faint blush crept onto Lin Yue's cheeks. She lowered her head and said softly, "Your Highness, I'm also truly grateful for your care." Their eyes met, and a delicate atmosphere filled the air. Lin Yue and Li Yi's conversation gradually delved deeper, shifting from the trivial matters of the prince's mansion to Lin Yue's modern life. Lin Yue told Li Yi about modern technology, culture, and ways of living. Li Yi listened intently, filled with curiosity about that unknown world. "Is it true that in your era, there are iron birds that can fly in the sky?" Li Yi asked curiously. Lin Yue nodded with a smile. "That's called an airplane. It can carry people to quickly reach various parts of the world. And there are also cars, which run extremely fast on the roads, much faster than horse - drawn carriages." Li Yi was filled with amazement, and his heart was filled with longing for Lin Yue's world. As the conversation deepened, the distance between the two grew closer. Li Yi looked at Lin Yue, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He realized that he had become accustomed to Lin Yue's presence. Her intelligence, courage, and kindness all deeply attracted him. Lin Yue also noticed the change in Li Yi, and her heart fluttered with a bit of panic. She knew that she and Li Yi came from different worlds, and their relationship might not be accepted in this era. But she couldn't resist Li Yi's charm either. This conflicting emotion left her feeling a bit confused. Just as the two were immersed in this warm atmosphere, suddenly, there came a rapid knock on the door. Li Yi and Lin Yue quickly separated. Lin Yue composed herself and went to open the door. Standing at the door was the steward of the prince's mansion. He said in a flustered manner, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! There's another incident with the side concubine!" Li Yi and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, and a sense of foreboding welled up in their hearts. They had no idea what kind of conspiracy Liu Ruyan was hatching this time, and what kind of challenges they would face.
