Anzheng Prince's Mansion, where Jinglan lives.

Qin Yi was about to take off his outer robe and lie down next to her.

A voice in green suddenly came from outside, "Your Highness, something has happened."

Qin Yi frowned slightly, but seeing that Nan Qianyue was sleeping soundly for the time being, he got up and left.

In the corridor, Qin Yi stood with his hands clasped behind his back. "Speak."

The man in green had a solemn expression. “Ayu, the maid left behind by the Crown Prince of Nan Jing, met with a spy from Nan Jing on East Street. The spy was quite skilled in martial arts, so our men didn’t dare to get close, lest we alert him.”

"However, our men have been following that spy. As for where the spy stopped, we will have to report back to Your Highness tomorrow."

Qin Yi stared at the dark courtyard, a cold, sharp light flashing in his eyes. "Hmm, step back."

The man in green clasped his hands and said, "Yes."

At that moment, rapid breathing came from inside the house, and Qin Yi immediately turned around and rushed into the house.

The woman in green thoughtfully closed the door before leaving.

On the bed, Nanqianyue seemed to be having a nightmare, kicking and flailing her arms and legs, looking panicked.

Qin Yi didn't dare to wake her, and gently held her head, carefully observing her changes.

“Qin Yi…” she suddenly murmured.

Qin Yi's eyes lit up. Had she finally remembered him?

"Let go...get out..."

Qin Yi's smile froze for a second, then vanished the next second.

It doesn't seem to be a good memory.

It's really not good for him...

—When the southward migration occurred, Yue slapped Qin Yi across the face.

"I've already said I'm not the Prime Minister's daughter!"

The image was blurry, but her shouts were clear.

Before we could examine the details of the southward migration, the scene shifted rapidly.

Just moments ago, we were in a military tent, but in the blink of an eye, we've arrived in the capital.

I could hear the women's mocking voices; I couldn't make out what they were saying, but they were definitely not kind.

“Prince Anzheng is about to go to the Eastern Territory. You should calm down and stop getting entangled with him.”

That's the voice of the Prime Minister's wife.

The screen seemed to be stuck on the network, and it took a while for a blurry image to appear.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to see me? Why did you secretly follow me here?"

"I……"

The scene shifts, and I suddenly feel a burning sensation in my body, as if I'm entwined with a man on a bed.

"You took my body, you have to take responsibility for me."

"I... okay."

On the mountaintop covered in lush soft grass, the setting sun cast its gentle rays upon the embracing figures; everything was so beautiful…

The next scene shows her riding a horse frantically, in a hurry, panic, and fear.

"Xiao Chen!"

Upon seeing familiar faces, Nanqian Yue was so excited that she almost fell off her horse.

"Careful!" Xiao Chen rushed over and helped her down.

Before she could even stand up straight, Xiao Chen suddenly hugged her.

Nanqianyue was a little confused, "You... what's going on?"

Xiao Chen seemed to realize his lapse in composure. He hurriedly let go and forced a smile to ease the awkwardness. "It's been too long. I was out of my mind."

Nan Qianyue, however, stared at the smile on his lips and teased, "You look quite handsome when you smile. Smile more often in the future, don't always have such a serious face."

"Doesn't it look better if you don't smile?" Xiao Chen asked, almost as if possessed.

I regretted it as soon as I asked.

"She looks good, but she looks even better when she smiles."

"Alright, alright, let's hurry on our way, otherwise we won't be able to escape if they catch up." Nan Qianyue pulled Xiao Chen onto the boat.

...The moon, migrating south, stands on the deck, its outstretched arms welcoming the slightly damp breeze.

It's the taste of freedom.

Xiao Chen fetched a cloak and draped it over her shoulders, saying, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I'm perfectly healthy, I won't catch a cold!" Nan Qianyue said with a charming smile, her brows radiant.

Xiao Chen was infected by her smile and would always find himself smiling along with her.

"Let me introduce you. The one on the left is Ye Jian, and the one on the right is Zhong Xing. They are both my retainers."

The two men nodded slightly as the moon shone southward.

Ye Jian forced what he thought was a very polite smile. "Hello, Miss Nan."

Zhong Xing's expression was cold; he simply nodded.

After the large ship left the Dongling area, it slowed down and proceeded in the form of a leisurely outing.

The journey was accompanied by mountains and rivers, and the carefree, joyful laughter of women.

After the waterway journey ended, Xiao Chen led Nan Qianyue through many places in Nanjing, from large cities to small villages.

They ate all kinds of food, from delicacies to coarse grains.

"Miss Nan is the pickiest eater I've ever met."

Ye Jian leaned against a tree trunk in the courtyard, holding his sword, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he were teasing someone.

Nan Qianyue was about to toss a bag of dried fruit, in which she had only eaten a few pieces, to Xiao Chen when she suddenly froze, her hand already halfway there.

Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled, taking the dried fruit without hesitation. "It's alright, I can afford to raise them."

Nanqianyue was a little embarrassed. "I won't eat your food for free. When we get to Yundu, you can arrange a job for me. I don't want wages, I just want to be able to eat and dress well."

Ye Jian sighed, "If Miss Nan is to be well-fed and clothed, it would probably cost at least a hundred taels a month."

Nanqianyue pouted, "Is a hundred taels a lot?"

Converted to RMB, it's probably only around ten thousand yuan, which she considers a tiny fraction of what she earns.

"Not many." For some time now, Xiao Chen has always had a smile on his face when facing Nanqian Yue.

After spending time with her, he changed his previous opinion about the girls from Yue Village who had migrated south.

Her personality, habits, eating habits, aesthetic sense, and inner and outer temperament are all qualities that an ordinary family could not cultivate.

"My lord, there is a plague in Shirakawa County. We must change our route." Zhong Xingfei flew into the courtyard and landed three zhang away from Xiao Chen.

"Plague? Do you have any doctors here who can treat the plague?" Nanqianyue asked.

Zhong Xing ignored her and asked Xiao Chen directly, "My lord, what are the arrangements?"
