It was clear that she was in a great mood.
She sat down lazily, completely unaware of the strange atmosphere inside the carriage, and handed the token back to Qin Yi.
"Here you go. This token is quite powerful. The Princess's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw it." There was a hint of schadenfreude on her face.
Looking at the token handed to him, Qin Yi's expression instantly turned icy. He said in a deep voice, "It's yours to have. If you don't want it, just throw it away."
His tone was cold and harsh.
"ah?"
Nan Qianyue then noticed that Qin Yi seemed unhappy. She tilted her head and looked him over. "What's wrong with you? Are you angry again? Are you sure your body can handle being angry all the time?"
Nan Yichu and Nan Kezhi: Big sister is really brave.
Qin Yi frowned, stared at her for a long time, then snatched the token and hung it back on her waist. "If you're going to throw it away, don't do it in front of me."
After saying that, the person turned their face away arrogantly.
Nan Qianyue touched the token at her waist, her curiosity piqued. "What's the use of this token?"
Nan Yichu risked explaining to her eldest sister, "The Prince's decree has the highest executive authority within the Anzheng Prince's Mansion." They can do whatever they want.
Nanqianyue's pupils suddenly dilated as she looked at Qin Yi in astonishment, "Why are you giving me this? I don't want it, here you go!"
She was about to remove the token as she spoke.
But Qin Yi's next words stopped him from moving.
"What's this?"
Qin Yi held a translucent piece of jade inlaid with gold thread. It was shaped like a water droplet, with strands of vermilion color seeping out from inside.
Nan Qianyue's expression stiffened slightly, and she hurriedly looked at her waist. The blood jade had been taken by Qin Yi!
She reached out to snatch the blood jade back, shouting, "Why are you stealing my things? Give it back to me!"
Qin Yi easily dodged it, his icy gaze landing on the blood jade between his fingers. "You still haven't answered me."
"What am I supposed to say? How can you just take someone's things without saying a word? Give them back to me right now!"
She was afraid Qin Yi would throw away the blood jade, so she reached out to grab it.
Qin Yi raised his arm, preventing her from taking it.
In her haste to move south, Yue rushed toward him, grabbing his arm and trying to pull his raised hand down.
However, the strength in Qin Yi's arm was so great that Nan Qianyue questioned the meaning of life.
"Qin Yi! You bandit, give me back the Blood Jade!"
Her eagerness to retrieve the Blood Jade fueled Qin Yi's anger. He pulled her close, holding her tightly in his arms.
And he grabbed her wrist so she couldn't fight back.
Nan Kezhi and Nan Yichu across from her tightly closed their eyes and covered their ears.
"You cherish the things he gives you so much, but you throw away the things I, the king, give you?"
...So he knew all along.
Nanqianyue corrected, "It's not throwing it away, it's returning it to you."
"Then why don't you return the Blood Jade to him?" Qin Yi was furious.
Nan Qianyue rolled her eyes, but patiently explained, "It's an equal exchange between us. Two years ago, I gave him a piece of jade, and now he's giving me blood jade. Doesn't that even things out?"
Her jadeite is priceless; what's wrong with exchanging something so precious for a piece of blood jade?
If she could, she would like to exchange it back, but she can't; there's no reason to take back something that's been given away.
Her words did not comfort Qin Yi; instead, they provoked him into a cold laugh.
He gritted his teeth, "Exchanging tokens, is that it?"
"What do you mean, what do you mean?"
Nanqianyue felt that he was being stubborn and unreasonable.
"Value exchange and exchanging tokens are not the same thing, okay? Don't think about everything in terms of love and romance. There are so many beautiful things in this world, why do you have to fixate on love and romance? You're a prince who has led troops in battle for many years. Aren't you afraid your subordinates will laugh at you for being so narrow-minded?"
There was a moment of silence before Qin Yi spoke, "Are you finished?"
Nanqianyue blinked her eyes and said, "Hmm."
Qin Yi held the blood jade up to her eyes and said very clearly, "Give the blood jade back to him and get your jade back."
Nanqianyue instantly exploded, "Are you crazy? Don't I have any pride? There's no reason to ask for something back after it's been given away!"
Qin Yi's gaze darkened, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's fine if you don't return it, but you can't carry it with you at all times. However, you must always carry the token I gave you."
"Fine, fine, fine!" Nan Qianyue was afraid of him. Considering that she had used him to anger the princess today, she decided not to argue with him.
Qin Yi's expression finally softened a bit. Reluctantly, he put the blood jade back on her waist, then lifted her up and changed to a more comfortable position to hold her.
Southward Migration Month: "..."
Qin Yi lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over her curled eyelashes and delicate nose, and slowly said, "The truth will not be erased. In a couple of days, the entire capital will know who has repeatedly tried to assassinate the Poet Immortal."
Nanqianyue looked up at him, her thoughts racing through her mind. Her eyes lit up. "Someone wants to kill the Poet Immortal, which has aroused the anger of the students. Those who know the truth are vying to seek justice for the Poet Immortal!"
Qin Yi smiled, "Yue'er is intelligent."
...
Inside a courtyard on East Street, several rows of people, men, women, and children, stood.
Standing before them was a middle-aged man. Although he was also dressed in plain clothes, his calm demeanor made him someone not to be underestimated.
The middle-aged man said, "Come on, let's practice it one more time."
An old man among the common people said, "Have you heard? Someone wants to kill the Poet Immortal! He almost lost his life a couple of days ago!"
The plump woman said, "I know! I heard it was the eldest son who did it! He had murderous intent as soon as the poet returned to the capital!"
The butcher said, "I know even more clearly. Two days ago, the Prime Minister's wife was kidnapped by the wife of Grand Commandant Song. The poet was ambushed on his way to rescue the Prime Minister's wife, but fortunately, Prince Anzheng's men arrived in time!"
