Time passed by uneventfully, all days blending together. Yu Qingyu didn't even realize when a month had already gone by, and it was over halfway past his time in this world.
Until one day, all of a sudden, he was summoned by the Crown Prince.
He hasn't really spent any time with the prince since Liu Wei's arrest and release, aside from all the meals, eaten together with the whole royal family, and all the nobles gathered in the castle. Now that he was unexpectedly asked to come to the Crown Prince's study, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
As he entered the room, Prince Alnar smiled at him widely. "Come, take a seat," he said, as he gestured at the sofa.
There was tea and snacks already served on the table, but Yu Qingyu didn't even spare it a glance. He was too nervous to swallow anything. He felt that if he tried to lift the teacup, his hands would be shaking too much, and he'd only end up spilling the tea.
