Nanqianyue peeked out from behind Xiao Chen, but when she first met Qin Yi's icy face, she was so frightened that she immediately shrank back.
Why is he here?!
They brought so many people with them; I have a bad feeling about this.
Nanqianyue's dodging action instantly ignited Qin Yi's suppressed anger.
He raised his hand, and his cold, sharp voice rang out, "This is a stronghold of spies from another country. To protect the peace of the capital, I will capture them today. Anyone who obstructs me will be punished as an equal."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards, weapons in hand, drew closer.
At the critical moment, Yan Bo rushed out, sword in hand, charging towards Qin Yi while shouting, "I swear to be loyal to the Emperor to the death! I swear to never surrender!"
However, before he could get close to Qin Yi, he was captured by the guards.
"Uncle Yan!"
Nanqianyue stepped out from behind Xiao Chen and was about to run towards Yan Bo.
But Xiao Chen stopped her, "Nan Nan, don't go." He shook his head at Nan Qianyue.

The Crown Prince of Nanjing will be fine, but she, a woman from Dongling, will surely be condemned by the people of Dongling, and the old emperor will punish her, along with the entire Prime Minister's residence.
Qin Yi deliberately remained silent, so that someone would have to step forward and take the blame for being a spy from another country.
Uncle Yan...
Nanqianyue couldn't bear to see Yan Bo suffer such a calamity. She looked at Xiao Chen and asked him with her eyes: Is there any way to deal with this?
Xiao Chen smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry."
Ye Jian cast a glance at him: ...My lord is lying again.
The intimate and trusting interaction between the two seemed to Qin Yi like countless icy blades piercing his heart and lungs.
