Upon hearing the boy's words, Song Suihuan's expression shifted several times before finally settling into a mocking laugh, "Hahaha, she's alright? How could she possibly be alright?!"
"Last night, she said she'd been with countless men. Could those guards who rescued her resist? She's a seductive enchantress, willingly throwing herself at any man."
"Hahaha... Poet Immortal? Nowadays, he should be called the Queen of Flowers."
The boy shook his head. "They never provoked you. You're the one who's heartless and blind. You didn't want to be the legitimate daughter of the Grand Commandant's family, so you had to go and cause trouble for others. You deserve what you've ended up like this."
"Have you no conscience?!" Song Suihuan roared madly, "She didn't provoke me, she's the one who drove Mother to the nunnery! Unlike you, an ingrate who doesn't even know how to avenge Mother!"
The boy closed his eyes briefly. "You're just putting on a mask of hypocrisy to cover up your evil deeds. Before Mother kidnapped the Prime Minister's wife, you had been targeting her all along. I thought you were being bewitched by your cousin, but now it seems that you were just too jealous. You've only hurt yourself in the end."
"Get out! Get out of here!" Song Suihuan couldn't stand these words. She picked up a stool and threw it towards the door, but instead of hitting the boy, she hit it at his feet.
The boy placed the box on the ground and said indifferently, "There are many kinds of ointments inside."
After saying that, he gave her one last look, then turned and left.
.
Night was falling at the Prime Minister's residence.
Nan Kezhi and Nan Yichu went to see their eldest sister for the third time, but were sent back by the Prime Minister's wife.
She said, "Your eldest sister is fine, she just caught a cold and has already rested, so please don't disturb her."
Nan Kezhi and Nan Yichu nodded obediently, "Oh, we understand."
Qingyun Courtyard.
The room was dimly lit, with only one window left half-open for ventilation.
The night breeze slipped in along the window sill, causing the dark blue gauze curtains to sway gently.
A dark figure suddenly appeared beside the embroidered magnolia screen.
He stood there quietly, his gaze passing through the light blue bed curtains and landing on the slightly bulging figure on the bed.
After a long while, he stepped closer and slowly lifted the bed curtains, revealing the woman's serene sleeping face to his lingering gaze.
He slowly reached out, his fingertips gradually approaching the woman's cheek. With a light touch, the woman frowned uncomfortably.
He immediately withdrew his hand and then sealed the woman's acupoints.
With her acupoints sealed, the woman tilted her head to the side and fell into a deeper sleep.
In the courtyard, dozens of figures were besieging a cold-faced man.
Upon seeing the girl being carried out by the Prince of Nan Jing without any awareness, they all shifted their attack focus.
"Put the girl down!" Wei Da shouted sternly.
Xiao Chen gave him a cold look. "Ye Jian, there's no need to leave him alive."
Ye Jian flew over and intercepted Wei Da and his group.
But he didn't kill them. His lord had lost his mind. If he rashly killed these guards, Miss Nan would only resent his lord.
The commotion in the courtyard was much louder than usual, waking up some of the maids and servants.
They came out wearing their clothes, and before they could even see what was happening, they were anesthetized and fell to the ground by the flying silver needles.
A horse-drawn carriage was parked on a quiet street.
With a flick of his robes in the night breeze, Xiao Chen carried Nan Qianyue from the rooftop to the carriage and quickly slipped inside.
"Walk."
The carriage moved forward, its wheels rolling over the bluestone floor, the sound particularly clear in the quiet night.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Chen gazed at the woman in his arms. His bloodshot eyes held pain, hatred, longing, intense love, and wisps of hope.
He pulled a sliver of reason from his turbulent emotions and took the cloak to wrap her slender body.
Then he hugged her tightly.
Half an hour later, Ye Jian caught up with the carriage. He darted into the carriage like a phantom and saw his master affectionately nuzzling Nan's forehead with his cheek and even giving her a kiss.
Ye Jian: "..." This is so perverted. Can we change our master?
"My lord, are you sure you want to do this? Miss Nan will definitely be angry when she wakes up," Ye Jian said, seizing the opportunity to persuade her.
Xiao Chen stared intently at the person in his arms, his gaze burning, "Then let her beat and scold me until she calms down."
Ye Jian: "..." Even if I beat you to death, I still won't be satisfied.
"My lord, we may not be able to leave. Not all of those guards came out; two of them went to inform Prince Anzheng immediately," Ye Jian said, revealing the harsh reality.
Xiao Chen gave a chilling smirk, "Then you can stop me with your life."
Ye Jian: "..." All these years of effort have been in vain.
"Hmm..." Nan Qianyue's brows furrowed slightly, her eyelashes trembled, and she looked like she was about to wake up.
Xiao Chen's eyes darkened slightly, and he raised his hand to seal her acupoints again.
Ye Jian's mind raced, and an idea came to him. "My lord, why don't you ask Miss Nan about the specifics? What if she really had no other choice? I think it's very possible!"
"Maybe my foot," he added in his mind.
Xiao Chen's fingers froze in mid-air, struggling.
He was terrified, yet still held a sliver of hope.
Just as he hesitated, Nanqianyue opened her eyes.
She stared blankly at Xiao Chen, wondering for a moment if she was having a nightmare.
"Xiao Chen?" She blinked a few times and called out tentatively.
Xiao Chen's throat tightened, and his scarlet eyes slowly met hers, "Nan Nan..."
A soft, sorrowful cry rang out, accompanied by two hot tears that rolled down and landed on Nanqianyue's cheek.
Nan Qianyue touched her cheek, looking bewildered. "What's wrong with you...?"
Her mind slowly began to work, and suddenly her eyes widened. "Didn't you leave? Why are you back? And how did I get here...!"
