Qin Yi lowered his eyes, "I said I would protect your safety, if you let this happen..."

"Alright, stop talking." Nan Qianyue raised her hand to interrupt, saying impatiently, "Get out of here, I don't want to see you."

That was said in anger.

But when Qin Yi heard this, it hurt him deeply.

...Two days after Qin Yi left.

Under the guise of a lake tour, Yue secretly packed her bags and slipped into the pre-arranged carriage to leave the city.

The city gates were poorly guarded, and Yue successfully slipped out during the southward migration.

Two days later, they arrived in Mexico City.

After saying goodbye to the master who had brought her out, she went to the horse market to buy a horse.

"Ah Yue?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Nan Qianyue's heart skipped a beat. She knew something was wrong and was thinking of running away when Bai Shu was already in front of her.

"Ah Yue, what are you doing here?"

Nanqianyue felt a sense of helplessness, as if she had been caught red-handed. She first looked behind Bai Shu and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that there was no certain figure there.

She told him the truth, "Brother Bai, I'm going to the border. I'm sneaking out without telling the Prime Minister's residence, so please don't betray me."

Bai Shu was shocked, "Why are you going to the border? Could it be...?"

His surprise was tinged with a slight smile. "Follow the Prince?"

Nanqian Yue was speechless. "Has Brother Bai lost his mind? Why would I chase after him? I'm going to the border on my own."

Bai Shu's expression turned serious. "That won't do. The border is too dangerous."

Nanqianyue didn't want to waste any more words. "Anyway, no one can stop me. Oh, by the way, what are you doing here?"

Bai Shu pointed to the cargo convoy not far away, "Mo City is rich in medicinal herbs. I'm responsible for collecting herbs here and heading to the Eastern Border."

He sighed helplessly, "I know I can't persuade you otherwise. Since we've met, let's go together. Please don't refuse. It's too dangerous for a girl like you to travel alone."

"I'm being pragmatic about moving south," he said, "but you can't reveal my information to Qin Yi. Once we reach the border, we'll part ways."

Bai Shu was also speechless. Even if he didn't say anything, this matter couldn't be kept from the prince.

"Okay." I agreed first.

...a few days later.

The group that migrated south arrived at Hua County, a small county town very close to the Eastern Border military camp.

The county magistrate had been waiting for a long time and led Bai Shu and his entourage to the newly built Marshal's Mansion.

After seeing the plaque above, Nanqianyue refused to go inside.

"How could there be a marshal's mansion here?" she questioned Bai Shu.

Bai Shuwen explained, "General Du and the Prince have protected this area for many years, and the people of Hua County voluntarily built this mansion for them."

"Don't worry, Yue, the prince is in the military camp, not here."

But they might arrive soon, Bai Shu thought to himself.
