Xiao Yi tapped all over the carriage, then said to Helan Wenyue, "Princess Helan, the bottom of this carriage sounds hollow."

Helan Wenyue's gaze darkened, and she said, "Does Prince Yi intend to dismantle my carriage?"

"We'll only know if someone can be hidden inside if we take it apart and see," Xiao Yi said with a smile. "Princess Helan, please rest assured, if we don't find the person, I will definitely compensate you with an even better carriage."

"Judging from this, if Prince Yi doesn't dismantle my carriage today, we probably won't be able to leave," Helan Wenyue sneered.

Xiao Yi smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

"Let's get started." Seeing that Helan Wenyue had no further objections, Xiao Yi instructed the soldiers.

The soldiers looked at Nan Tianba, and seeing that he nodded, they began to dismantle the carriage.

After spending some time dismantling the luxurious carriage beyond recognition, the soldiers still couldn't find any trace of Nan Wusi, so even Xiao Yi's expression turned extremely grim.

"Damn it, where did Helan Wenyue hide Sisi?" Xiao Yi thought to himself.

"Now we can leave, right?" He Lanwenyue's tone was filled with anger.

Seeing that Nan Tianba and Xiao Yi remained silent, Helan Wenyue directly ordered her people, "Let's go."

So the whole procession began to head towards the city gate.

"Wait." He Lanwenyue and her group hadn't taken more than a few steps when Xiao Yi suddenly called out to them again.

"Prince Yi, what else do you want?" Helan Wenyue asked nervously.

“These two vehicles have different weights,” Xiao Yi said.

“The two trucks are carrying different weights of goods, so naturally they are different,” He Lanwenyue replied, her eyes sharpening.

"No, someone, go and dismantle this car in the back!" Xiao Yi suddenly shouted.

“Prince Yi, you’ve already dismantled one of my carriages, and now you want to dismantle another one? Do you really think we, the Northern Huan, are easy to mess with?” Helan Wenyue stepped forward to stop him.

"Is Princess Helan afraid?" Xiao Yi asked.

"You've gone too far!" Helan Wenyue retorted without backing down. Now that they had reached the city gate, once they were out, no one could stop them.

Moreover, at this time, the soldiers of the Northern Huan were also circling outside the city, just to welcome their prince and princess.

“This concerns the safety of my daughter, Nan Tianba. If Princess Helan insists on obstructing us, don’t blame me for being impolite,” Nan Tianba said at this moment.

"General Nan, do you intend to provoke a war between our two countries?" Helan Wenyue shouted.

"If my actions today have wronged Princess Helan, I will personally go to Beihuan to apologize in the future," Nan Tianba said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yi was shocked upon hearing this, never expecting that General Nan would cherish Sisi so much and trust his judgment.

"Attack!" Nan Tianba's soldiers rushed to the vehicle, and He Lanwenyue gave her subordinates a look. A small fight broke out around the vehicle.

However, Helan Wenyue's side was outnumbered and ultimately failed to win; the chariot was quickly dismantled during the battle.

"General, it's Miss!" a soldier suddenly shouted, and the fighting stopped instantly as everyone's eyes turned to the sleeping woman emerging from under the car.

Nan Tianba rushed to his daughter's side, looked at the sleeping Nan Wusi, and asked Helan Wenyue in a deep voice, "Princess Helan, what have you done to my daughter?"

Seeing that her plan had been exposed, Helan Wenyue did not flinch and calmly replied, "It's just a little sleeping potion. Miss Nan will wake up soon."

"Now that my daughter has been found, Princess Helan, please take your leave." Nan Tianba looked at Helan Wenyue and her entourage with hostility.

"General Nan, although I know it's pointless to say more now, I still want to tell you that I did this entirely to save Miss Nan, though I'm sure you won't believe me. I just hope you won't regret it in the future." After Helan Wenyue finished speaking, she led her subordinates straight out of the border gate.

Nan Tianba naturally didn't believe Helan Wenyue's words. He picked up Nan Wusi and said to Xiao Yi, "Thank you, Prince Yi."

"General Nan, you're too kind. It's all I should do." Xiao Yi's tone still carried a hint of nervousness. Fortunately, Sisi was safe and sound. If something had really happened to Nan Wusi, he would never have been able to forgive himself.

The two had originally agreed to meet after the hunting battle to discuss matters, but Xiao Yi had something come up at the last minute, so the meeting was postponed.

If it hadn't been postponed, Nan Wusi wouldn't have gone to see Xia Ziqian, and wouldn't have been kidnapped by Helan Wenyue.

Nan Tianba brought Nan Wusi back to the mansion and settled him in. Xiao Yi also went along and sat in the front hall to wait.

Jiang Zhirou saw Nan Wusi unconscious and asked worriedly if he was alright. Fortunately, Nan Tianba told her that he was fine and that Nan Wusi would wake up soon, which put her at ease.

After settling Nan Wusi in, the couple returned to the front hall to entertain Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi sat in the front hall, feeling somewhat uneasy. This could be considered the first time he had met Nan Wusi's parents since they fell in love, especially since Nan Wusi had been kidnapped. This made him feel quite ashamed and unworthy to face Nan Tianba and Jiang Zhirou.

"Prince Yi, you've traveled all this way to this pass just for the sake of my Wusi?" Nan Tianba asked Xiao Yi.

“Yes, General Nan,” Xiao Yi replied.

"What is your relationship with our Sisi?" Jiang Zhirou interjected.

"I... Sisi and I are mutually in love and truly in love." Xiao Yi's palms were sweating, and he was very nervous in the face of Jiang Zhirou's questioning.

“His Highness Prince Yi has a great reputation; I’m afraid he’s just deceiving our Sisi into thinking she’s young and naive,” Jiang Zhirou said bluntly.

"Madam," Nan Tianba called softly, then reached out to pull Jiang Zhirou, but she dodged him.

Jiang Zhirou had never liked these members of the royal family, so when she heard Xiao Yi say that, she naturally gave him a cold look.

Xiao Yi was also embarrassed by Jiang Zhirou's words. He never expected that the persona he had created would become such a big obstacle.

However, he didn't know how to explain it. After all, although Nan Tianba and Jiang Zhirou were Nan Wusi's parents, he didn't really know them, and they were prejudiced against him.

In the end, Xiao Yi could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Madam Nan, I have already explained my reputation to Sisi before, and things are not as you think. I, Xiao Yi, swear to heaven that I have only ever loved Sisi in this life."

"Your Highness Prince Yi, these words are useless to us. We just want to know what you can give us." Jiang Zhirou was not buying Xiao Yi's sweet words. This Xiao Yi had no power or influence, and even had endless troubles because of his identity. How could their precious daughter marry such a person?

However, before Xiao Yi could answer Jiang Zhirou's question, he jumped up and excitedly said, "Sisi is awake."
