Looking at the beauty in the bronze mirror, Nanqianyue noticed that her simple hair ornaments, devoid of any embellishments, only accentuated her stunningly beautiful face.

She had always been proud of her face, but now that she had inexplicably traveled to ancient times and met that crazy man, she felt that her face was a burden.

Filled with worry, Yue got up to wash up as she moved south.

"marshal!"

Suddenly, the powerful voice of a soldier rang out outside the tent. Nan Qianyue, who had just gotten up, felt a tightness in her chest. Wasn't the madman the marshal?

Isn't the Marshal busy?

Qin Yi stepped through the gate, his gaze sweeping across the tent before finally settling on Nan Qianyue by the screen. His intense gaze lingered on her for a moment before he strode over.

"The food in the army is simple and coarse, so please make do with it for now."

Nan Qianyue's eyelids twitched as she watched Qin Yi naturally pull her hand and walk towards the table.

Having learned her lesson yesterday, she seemed to have become a little smarter; the more she resisted and cursed him, the more it aroused his desire to conquer her.

For her own safety, she should pretend to comply.

Qin Yi pressed Nan Qianyue down on the stool, and then sat down next to her.

"Eat up." He pushed some of the porridge and side dishes towards her.

Nan Qianyue noticed two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table and frowned. She turned to Qin Yi and asked, "You haven't eaten?"

She was simply curious, but to Qin Yi, it sounded like an unwanted display of care.

Qin Yi's eyes reddened, and he held her hand, his voice almost choked with emotion, "You're finally back?"

Nan Qianyue tried to pull her hand away but couldn't. She thought for a moment and realized that the "you" Qin Yi was referring to must be the daughter of the Southern Prime Minister, not her.

Does the daughter of the Southern Prime Minister often ask him... have you eaten?

She looked at Qin Yi and explained in a gentle voice, "I'm really not the daughter of the Southern Prime Minister. Please let me go, otherwise she will definitely misunderstand if she sees me next to you."

A bucket of cold water doused Qin Yi's burning heart. His eyes darkened instantly, and he tried his best to control the strength in his hands, afraid that he might crush her hand if he couldn't help himself.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Qin Yi's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and Nan Qianyue could clearly feel his suppressed anger.
