...half a month later.
Xiao Chen brought Nanqianyue back to Yundu.
The Crown Prince brought back a stunningly beautiful woman from the Eastern Mausoleum, which caused quite a stir in Yundu.
The Southern Migration Month, Countless Times, Seeks Xiao Chen:
"Just give me some work, otherwise people will say I'm a mistress."
What is a mistress?
"It's probably about women who seduce married men."
Xiao Chen's expression was serious. "I have not married any woman. Last year, my mother insisted on arranging a concubine for me, but I scared her away."
Nanqianyue's gossipy nature was piqued, and she grabbed Xiao Chen's sleeve, asking, "How did you scare people away?"
Xiao Chen's face fell, and he turned his head away, giving an irrelevant answer, "I didn't touch her, I didn't even glance at her."
Nanqianyue frowned, "I'm asking how you scared people away."
Xiao Chen turned his head and stared into her eyes, answering her first question, "You are my honored guest, and more importantly, my savior. Anyone who dares to slander you will pay a heavy price."
Southward Migration Month: "..."
For a long time afterward, the months spent migrating south felt like years, and the boredom was unbearable.
After Xiao Chen discovered this, he asked the nanny to take her out to play. Because he was busy with government affairs, he rarely had time to go out with her.
It's quite a coincidence that every time Yue went out during her southward migration, she would run into the daughter of a certain minister, or a princess or county princess.
They had one thing in common: they all disliked Nanqianyue and would make sarcastic remarks whenever they saw her, and some even wanted to hit her.
But unfortunately, they were no match for the Southern Migration Moon.
Every migration south ended in victory, but she wasn't truly happy.
She was so annoyed that she told Xiao Chen she was leaving.
"I really don't want to stay here anymore. I want to find a way home." Nan Qianyue's expression was serious, without a trace of joking.
Xiao Chen suddenly grabbed Nan Qianyue's hand, his eyes filled with panic, "Is it because they always bully you? Don't worry, I've already punished them, please don't..."
“It’s not because of them,” Nan Qianyue interrupted him. “I really want to go back. I’ve always wanted to go back. I’ve told you before that I’m just staying here temporarily.”
Xiao Chen held her for a long while, then forced a smile. "Nan Nan, didn't you say your home is far away? Shall I take you back?"
Then they brought her whole family over.
Nanqianyue sighed weakly, her gaze sweeping over the palace servants around her.
Xiao Chen understood and immediately dismissed all the palace servants. "Nan Nan, speak."
As if making a major decision, Nanqianyue solemnly said, "What I'm about to say is serious, so don't mistake me for a monster."
Xiao Chen composed himself and nodded, "Yes, I believe everything you say."
Nanqianyue spent an hour recounting her origins, writing as she spoke, and Xiao Chen listened intently.
Nan Qianyue put down her pen and looked at Xiao Chen nervously, "Do you believe me?"
Xiao Chen replied quickly, "I believe you. I finally understand why you are so special. Before, I couldn't understand how the world could raise such a wonderful woman as you, but now I understand."
Nan Qianyue sighed and laughed, "I suddenly admire you a lot. If it were me, I might not believe it."
Xiao Chen's lips were constantly curving upwards, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and his dark pupils were filled with tenderness.
Xiao Chen promised Nanqian Yue that he would help her find a way home.
Her days in Yundu became increasingly peaceful until one day, when the Empress, taking advantage of Xiao Chen's absence, summoned Nanqian Yuexuan to the palace.
The woman on the phoenix throne exuded nobility and majesty.
But her gaze towards Nan Qianyue was too sharp, and... filled with hatred.
“For inappropriate words and actions, slap him in the face.”
This was the first thing Empress Wan said to Nan Qianyue.
Nanqianyue, who was about to perform the ceremony, stared blankly as the palace servants walked towards her.
The palace maid gritted her teeth and raised her hand to slap her, but Nan Qianyue's eyes sharpened, and she grabbed the palace maid's wrist.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" She met Empress Wan's gaze without fear.
Empress Wan's expression darkened. "She dares to fight back! Guards, hold her down and beat her until her face is smashed!"
Several palace maids rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward, but Nan Qianyue was no pushover either, and knocked all the palace maids to the ground.
Nanqianyue patted non-existent dust off her palms and said, "I don't know what crime I have committed. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
Empress Wan's sharp gaze swept over the group of useless people on the ground. She pressed the old woman's forearm to her feet, and the oppressive aura of a superior rushed towards Nan Qianyue without reservation.
“A woman of unknown origin, who has been living in the Crown Prince’s residence by seducing him, will be punished today, you vixen.”
"Guards, drag him out and beat him to death!"
Several well-trained guards rushed in, and Nan Qianyue was no match for them, being dragged out by force.
A thick stick struck her back mercilessly, and she felt her heart and lungs vibrate violently.
After the second blow, she spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsed weakly to the ground, unable to cry out in pain.
"stop!"
A dignified male voice rang out, successfully stopping the stick from falling again.
Nanqianyue gritted her teeth and propped herself up, raising her eyes to look at the person who had come. It was a bright yellow figure.
He must be the emperor of Nanjing.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects." The Empress's previous arrogance vanished instantly.
The Emperor of Nanjing didn't even glance at her. He strode towards Nan Qianyue, squatted down in front of her, and fixed his complicated gaze on her face.
"Summon the Imperial Physician!"
Emperor Nan Jing actually carried the moon away from the south himself. Empress Wan's eyes were filled with resentment, but she dared not lash out in front of the emperor.
The people the Emperor of Nanjing arranged to serve the people who were migrating south were very meticulous and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
