Xie Yanzhou didn't move, and asked directly, "What exactly is Your Highness's arrangement?"

Qin Yi parted his lips slightly, his voice carrying a chill, "Prince Yu of Nan Jing will leak the news to the Emperor."

Xie Yanzhou asked, puzzled, "Why would he be willing to help?"

Qin Yi coldly replied, "I helped him clean up some dirty business."

Xie Yanzhou looked worried. "But if the Empress of Nanjing finds out about the Princess's whereabouts, she will be in danger."

Qin Yi stood up and said solemnly, "Therefore, I need you to infiltrate Nanjing immediately, with your friends from the martial arts world, to secretly protect her. The sentry will also assist you."

"After the Emperor of Nanjing's men send her to the border, I will lead troops to meet her."

Xie Yanzhou glanced briefly at Qin Yi's injuries and said, "Your Highness can simply send someone else to meet you. Why risk your life while covered in wounds?"

Qin Yi ignored his words and calmly said, "Before you leave, go see your grandfather."

Xie Yanzhou lowered his eyes. "No need. I'll take my leave."

He crossed his arms, turned and left expressionlessly, but was stopped by someone just as he was about to reach the gate of the mansion.

"Yan Zhou".

Xie Yanzhou paused, then quickly composed himself and turned around, "Grandfather."

Lord Xie patted him on the shoulder with admiration, "Your martial arts skills are quite good, far superior to your grandfather's."

Xie Yanzhou felt somewhat uncomfortable with the praise from his elders, so he forced a smile and said, "Grandfather is too modest."

He didn't want to say any more polite words.

Knowing that Xie Yanzhou had important matters to attend to, Lord Xie kept it brief, saying, "Yanzhou, in my grandfather's heart, you are a good child, far better than your father. I have heard about some of the family's affairs. Don't worry, once the war here is over and I return to the capital, I will definitely seek justice for you and your siblings."

Xie Yanzhou was deeply moved. Looking at the old man in front of him with his white hair and bright eyes, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Grandfather must have only heard a few isolated stories and didn't know the truth. Otherwise, if he knew the truth about his mother's death and that his own son had condoned the wicked woman's plot to murder his grandmother, how could he have borne it?

There are many things to do right now, so let's keep it from him for now.

Xie Yanzhou smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Grandfather, please take good care of your injury. I will come to see you again when I am done with my work."

Lord Xie waved his hand kindly, "Go ahead."
