"Don't know?" The minister of Xiqiu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He suddenly bowed to the eldest prince of Xiqiu and said, "Your Highness, please forgive this old minister for speaking frankly."
The eldest prince of Xiqiu looked conflicted and struggling, wanting to pull the minister back but feeling heartbroken and powerless.
In the midst of his painful struggle, the minister began to speak.
"Let me tell the poet a story."
"Two years ago, Your Highness encountered a woman in the north who had been poisoned by a snake. Your Highness helped her cure the poison, and the woman was grateful to Your Highness and promised to tell her parents about it."
"Because there was skin-to-skin contact during the detoxification process, His Highness, for the sake of the woman's reputation, promised to take full responsibility for her. His Highness and the woman exchanged tokens of affection and agreed to pledge their lives to each other upon their next meeting."
"The woman gave His Highness a hand-embroidered purse as a token of her love, while His Highness gave the woman a small mythical beast carved from colored jade as a token of his love."
"Your Highness and that woman parted ways at the northern border, thinking they would meet again soon, but who would have thought that this separation would last for two years."
"His Highness had been sending people to search for her, and it wasn't until this year that they finally found the woman's whereabouts."
"Poet Immortal, are you familiar with this story?"
All sorts of suspicious glances were cast at Nan Qianyue.
Everyone knows that she was found by Prince Anzheng two years ago and then chased after him to the border. As for whether she went to the north during that time, it is hard to say.
Looking at the intriguing expression on the face of the First Prince of Xiqiu, and the conflicted look he kept giving Nan Qianyue, it was obvious that the woman was Nan Qianyue.
Nan Qianyue smiled lightly, the smile vanishing in an instant, "Sounds interesting."
Minister Xiqiu smiled mysteriously. He suddenly bent down and pulled a purse from the eldest prince's waist, extending it towards Nanqianyue. "This is a purse embroidered by that woman herself. Does the Poet Immortal recognize it?"
A hint of sarcasm flickered across Nan Qianyue's lips. "It's quite unfamiliar."
What a joke! She's never even touched a needle, how could she possibly show off her purse?
Minister Xiqiu was not surprised by her answer, and then took out a small box from his sleeve.
He said, "This is a butterfly. It can accurately locate the jade within three zhang. If that woman is in love with Your Highness, she will surely carry a token with her, just like Your Highness."
"Poet Immortal, are you curious about who that woman is?"
Nanqian Yue raised an eyebrow easily, "I'm a little curious."
