Nanqianyue leaned back lazily on the cushion and said absentmindedly, "Moreover, the Empress Dowager knows that we were the ones who beat up the Lou family."
"Ah?" Nan Yichu exclaimed in horror, "Why didn't the Empress Dowager say anything?"
Nan Qianyue glanced at him and said, "There's no evidence, and there's no need for it. It was Lou who harmed us first. We're just standing up for our mother, which is called being filial. Even if there's evidence to implicate us, we'll only get a minor punishment, nothing serious. So why bother? It's more worthwhile to do her a favor."
"Oh." Nan Yichu was a little disappointed. "I thought the Empress Dowager really felt sorry for my mother."
Nan Qianyue smiled and said, "It is true that I feel sorry for her, but as the Empress Dowager, I cannot show too much favoritism to anyone. After all, I am dealing with the families of powerful officials. It would be detrimental to the old emperor if I mistreat anyone."
Such treasonous words were uttered lightly from Nanqianyue's mouth.
Nan Kezhi and Nan Yichu anxiously observed Anzheng Wang's expression. Would he scold their eldest sister?
Prince Anzheng is still holding his eldest sister's hand. Won't he crush it?
"You seem to have a good attitude." Qin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly enjoying squeezing the soft lump in his hand.
“No.” Nan Qianyue’s listless expression revealed a hint of coldness. “I can’t let it go.”
“I’ve already dealt with the Lou family, but the princess who has repeatedly killed me is still living a carefree life. I’ve decided to go and meet her.”
Qin Yi slightly composed himself and increased the pressure on his hand. "What do you plan to do?"
Nan Qianyue frowned slightly, "You almost crushed my hand."
Qin Yi paused for a moment, then let go of her hand. "Do you need my help?"
Nanqianyue waved her hand, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said sarcastically, "That's your niece, aren't you going to protect her?"
Qin Yi's face fell, his dark pupils fixed on her for a long while, then suddenly a smile appeared on his face, "You're jealous even of something that's not true?"
Nanqian Yue felt a lump in her throat. Jealous? Only he would have such a narcissistic thought.
To demonstrate her composure and complete indifference to the fact that he was protecting the princess, Nan Qianyue approached Qin Yi with a seductive smile, her voice alluring, "Does Your Highness think I've taken a liking to you?"
The woman's approach brought with it a delicate fragrance that lingered in the air, her seductive voice teased the heart, and her alluring smile was like that of a bewitching enchantress.
Qin Yi's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes dark and unfathomable. If there hadn't been two other people in the car, he would have already pulled them into his arms.
"Have you taken a liking to me?" Qin Yi asked instead of answering, his voice hoarse, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
Nanqianyue raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with charm. "Guess?"
Ha, you little brat, I don't believe I can't deal with you.
Qin Yi's fingers, resting on his knees, slowly tightened. His eyes grew increasingly dark, and his gaze, fixed on Nan Qianyue's face, gradually became burning. "You guessed right. Is there a reward?"
He took a different approach.
Nan Qianyue smiled sweetly, leaned back to create distance between them, and looked directly at the curtain, saying, "Turn to the Princess's residence."
The driver dared not disobey, and with a pull of the reins, hurriedly turned the vehicle around.
Nan Yichu cautiously interjected, "Eldest sister, you're not going to go to the princess's residence to beat up the eldest princess, are you?"
Nan Kezhi's eyes were full of worry. "Big sister, why don't we tie her up tonight and find a secluded place to beat her up?"
To brazenly go to someone's house and beat them up in broad daylight is hardly a wise move; it's even a bit foolish.
Or perhaps the eldest sister felt emboldened because Prince Anzheng was present?
Nan Qianyue looked at her younger siblings with amusement, "What are you thinking? I'm going to visit the Princess and have a heart-to-heart talk with her."
The last three words sounded sarcastic and unsettling no matter how you looked at them.
"But the eldest princess didn't send an invitation to my eldest sister?" Nan Kezhi asked weakly.
Nanqianyue raised an eyebrow. "Didn't we send people to invite you three times before? With the Princess being so sincere, how can I refuse again?"
Nan Kezhi and Nan Yichu exchanged silent glances. Is it all in the past?
Well, since Prince Anzheng hasn't said anything, then whatever the eldest sister says goes.
The Princess's Residence.
The carriage slowly came to a stop.
The driver quickly got out of the car and went to inform the gatekeeper.
Upon hearing who it was, the gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then rushed into the mansion to report.
Before long, a pretty palace maid came briskly.
He addressed the carriage road, "Please invite Miss Nan into the mansion."
Nanqianyue gave her younger siblings a reassuring look, "Be good and wait for me, I'll be right back."
Then, still worried, she looked at Qin Yi and said, "I can handle this myself. Don't come in rashly."
Nan Yichu and Nan Kezhi: What?! Prince Anzheng is still in the car?! She's in the same space as Prince Anzheng without her older sister?! No way!!!
Qin Yi nodded perfunctorily, "Um, do you need any help?"
"Huh?" Nan Qianyue glared at him reproachfully. "You're supposed to be a prince, how come you can't understand human language?"
Nan Yichu and Nan Kezhi gasped.
Qin Yi pursed his lips into a straight line, pulled a jade token from his waist, and quickly tied it to Nan Qianyue's waist. "Go."
Nanqianyue glanced down at it and asked, "What is this?"
Nan Yichu's eyes widened in disbelief. Prince Anzheng had actually hung the Royal Decree on her eldest sister's waist?! Good heavens!!!
That's the Prince's Decree! Having it is equivalent to having the highest executive power in the Prince's Palace. With this token, one can mobilize and command all personnel and allocate all resources and assets!
Even a princess might not receive this treatment! Although Prince Anzheng is not yet married.
Qin Yi didn't want to say more. "Don't take it off. Go."
"Is there something inconvenient for Miss Nan?" The voice of the palace servant outside turned cold.
