Yun Ran's body swayed, and she took a step back. The panic on her face intensified, and her already fair face turned pale, devoid of any color.
"Crown Prince, I, I, I... Did I say something wrong..."
Nangong Jue, seeing that she was quite frightened, softened his expression and tone, speaking earnestly:
"Wanyue, it's not my intention to scare you. However, your words were too rebellious. If others heard them, I'm afraid your little life would be in danger."
Yun Ran looked at him, her face pale, twisting her sleeves with both hands, looking speechless and frightened.
"Just speak such words in front of me, but don't mention them to others. This time, I'll pretend I didn't hear it, understood?"
Yun Ran nodded quickly, "I understand!"
"Don't be afraid, I won't tell anyone."
Nangong Jue reached out his hand, seemingly wanting to pat her shoulder to comfort her. Yun Ran stepped aside gracefully, dodging his hand while giving a bow.
