Inside the pharmacy, Nan Qianyue buried herself in writing down what she saw, then discreetly handed it to Bai Shu, reminding him, "Don't be surprised when you see this, and don't make a fuss. This is a secret between us."
Bai Shu nodded emphatically, "Okay."
However, when Bai Shu saw the contents, he stood there stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
After confirming that he had finished reading it, Nanqianyue quickly snatched the paper and threw it into the incense burner to burn.
"You should have this medicine, right?" Nan Qianyue asked in a low voice.
Bai Shu finally came to his senses, his face showing hesitation, "Does Your Highness know?"
Nan Qianyue shook her head, "I don't know. His nanny won't let me discuss it with him, so let's not discuss it then."
Bai Shu's expression was solemn. "Your Highness, why don't you discuss this with the Prince? This is no small matter."
Nan Qianyue dismissed it, saying, "It's a very simple matter, why is it so complicated? If you're not willing to help, I'll go to the Prime Minister's residence to find the physician."
With that, she turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Bai Shu stopped her, frowning. "Most of these kinds of medicines will harm the body and cannot be taken for a long time."
"If you really need to use it, I do have a bottle here. The medicine is milder than what other doctors prescribe, but you can't take it too frequently. At least every four or five days..."
"Okay, okay, I know. Brother Bai, go get my medicine quickly." Nan Qianyue pushed Bai Shu away.
...
After dinner, Butler Lu came to find Nan Qianyue with a list in his hand.
"Your Highness, these are the gifts prepared for your return visit tomorrow. Please take a look."
Nanqianyue simply waved her hand and said, "No need, I trust Steward Lu to handle things."
Butler Lu chuckled, "Your Highness is too kind. These were all prepared in advance by His Highness."
Nan Qianyue smiled and said, "Then I'm even more relieved. If there's nothing else, you may leave."
"yes."
As night fell, Zisu and the others helped Nanqianyue finish her bath. "Your Highness, aren't you waiting for the Prince?"
Nanqianyue yawned, climbed into bed, and lay down. "I can't wait, I'm sleepy."
At the end of the Si hour (9-11 AM), a figure in black, darker than the night, strode into Lingxi Courtyard, accompanied by a cold wind.
The servant on night watch was startled and instantly widened from his drowsiness.
"Your Highness, this servant will go and wake the Princess Consort right away."
"Get out." Qin Yi pushed open the door and walked in without looking to either side.
He stood quietly by the bed, staring at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, a hint of weariness and helplessness gradually creeping into his brow.
After a long while, he took off his outer robe and boots, pulled back the covers, and lay down inside.
"Stinky..." Nan Qianyue wrinkled her nose, still half asleep.
Qin Yi's eyes darkened, but he obediently got out of bed and ordered a servant to bring hot water to wash away the sweat on his body...
At dawn, Zisu knelt by the bed and gently called, "Your Highness, it's time to get up. Today is your return visit to your parents' home."
Nanqianyue slowly opened her eyes, "Oh."
She sat up, her sleepy eyes scanning the room. "Where is the Prince?"
Zisu's expression was somewhat solemn. "The prince has gone out. It seems he has something to take care of. He said you should leave first after you've finished packing, and he will go directly to the Prime Minister's residence after he's done."
Nanqian's eyebrows arched slightly, and she felt a little down. "Hmm, let's get ready."
...Inside the carriage, Yue, who was migrating south, was restless.
She lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside, feeling even more depressed when she saw the bustling street.
There was a sense of loneliness, a feeling of being isolated from the hustle and bustle, and an inexplicable sense of unease.
“Your Highness, we have arrived, but…” Zisu’s voice abruptly stopped.
I didn't pay much attention to the southward migration, but the thought of seeing my family soon cheered me up.
However, when she stepped off the carriage and saw that only the steward was standing at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence, her mood darkened completely.
None of her parents, brothers, or sisters came to pick her up.
Nanqianyue resisted the urge to turn around and leave, took a few deep breaths to compose herself, and put on a stiff smile as she stepped onto the stairs.
"Your Highness, you've finally arrived!" The butler bowed deeply.
Nanqianyue forced a smile. "Where are Father and Mother?"
The butler smiled and said, "They're all waiting for you at Qianxiang Hall."
Nan Qianyue smiled and comforted herself, "It's alright, it's alright. She just didn't wait for me at the door. I still remember her."
"Let's go." She forced a smile.
Outside Qianxiang Hall, Nan Qianyue could hear Nan Yichu's joyful shouts from afar.
"This gun is so awesome! Thank you, brother-in-law!"
My steps faltered as I moved south, brother-in-law?
She entered Qianxiang Hall with doubts in her heart and immediately saw Qin Yi surrounded by the Nan family.
Nan Yichu exclaimed happily, "Big sister! You're finally here! I thought you were going to sleep until the afternoon!"
Nan Kezhi smiled and walked towards Nan Qianyue, "Elder sister, your husband is so good. He doesn't even want you to get up early on your homecoming day."
The Prime Minister's wife and the Southern Prime Minister exchanged a smile, both seeing approval of their son-in-law in each other's eyes.
However, the Prime Minister's wife still pretended to be stern and reprimanded, "Qianyue, you should change your habit of sleeping in."
Nan Xiang smiled and smoothed things over, "It's not a big problem. Qian Yue, go back to your room with your mother and sister and have a talk. I also need to say a few words to the Prince."
Qin Yi walked towards Nan Qianyue, pulled her into the hall, and gently embraced her, asking in a low voice, "Did you sleep well?"
Nanqianyue suddenly couldn't force a smile. "Didn't you have something to do?"
She probably didn't even realize that her tone carried a hint of accusation.
Nan Xiang and his group exchanged glances: Something's up!
Qin Yi replied naturally, "It was an urgent matter, and I came to the Prime Minister's residence as soon as I finished dealing with it."
Nanqianyue stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, the gloom in her heart dissipating. "Oh, then you can talk to your father first."
