Qin Yi unfolded the letter, glanced at it briefly, and then tossed it aside, his expression completely unfazed.
The woman in red frowned and asked, "Your Highness, does Nan Jing not want to go to war?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly. "It's Emperor Xiao's idea. He will hand over all those involved in killing Yue'er to me."
Bai Shu was also listening, and he looked slightly surprised. "Including Wan Fangyi?"
Qin Yi shook his head, "Except for her."
Given Xiao Huang's personality, even if he dislikes Wan Fangyi, he wouldn't push her out to stop the war.
Bai Shu said with a hint of disdain, "The mastermind is still at large. What kind of explanation is this? And the Crown Prince of Nan Jing, although he had no intention of harming the Princess, it was ultimately his doing."
The woman in red observed Qin Yi's expression and tentatively asked, "Does Your Highness intend to kill Crown Prince Xiao on the battlefield?"
A dark glint appeared in Qin Yi's eyes, and his deep, hoarse voice was filled with killing intent, "If I kill him in private, Yue'er might blame me. So I will kill him on the battlefield, openly and fairly."
Once these obstacles are completely removed, we can live a peaceful life with Yue'er after she returns.
The expressions of Hongyi and Baishu became complicated. The princess's fate was unknown, but judging from the prince's appearance, he clearly believed that the princess was still alive.
They also hoped the princess would return safely, but...
"How can Your Highness be so sure that Crown Prince Xiao will definitely go to the battlefield?" asked the woman in red.
Qin Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Because he also wants to kill me, this is a good opportunity."
“Then Your Highness is even less able to go to the battlefield,” Bai Shu said anxiously. “You’ve suffered such serious injuries, you can’t afford to…”
"Alright." Qin Yi frowned slightly and interrupted Bai Shu in a deep voice, "My mind is made up. There's no need to persuade me any further. You may leave."
Bai Shu sighed helplessly and had no choice but to pick up his medicine box and leave.
Qin Yi glanced at the woman in red who was standing motionless. "Is there anything else?"
The woman in red suddenly knelt down, her face full of shame and self-reproach. "It is this humble servant who failed to protect the Princess. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Qin Yi lowered his eyes, concealing the pain within them. "You've done your best. What crime have you committed? Go back and take good care of your injuries. Don't worry about anything else."
The woman in red had tears welling up in her eyes, and she choked back her emotions as she said, "There's one more thing. Chen Jie and his guards have searched the area around Broken Heart Cliff, but they haven't found any trace of the princess. They've now expanded the search area."
"The undercover agents discovered that multiple forces in Nanjing are searching for the Princess Consort, with Emperor Xiao, Crown Prince Xiao, and Prince Yu leading the way."
"What's strange is that Prince Xiao doesn't seem to have concentrated his manpower in the Broken Heart Cliff area; it seems he's active all over the country."
Qin Yi's eyes flickered, and the fingertips resting on his knees tightened little by little. "You all need to pay attention to all areas, not just this one."
He believed that Yue'er could travel back in time at any moment, but the location she would travel to was unknown.
Xiao Chen should also realize this.
Although the woman in red didn't understand, she did as she was told, "Yes, I will go and inform Chen Jie right away."
After the woman in red left, Qin Yi went to the wardrobe, took out a box, and opened it.
The jade-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) that had been folded inside was now empty.
Just as Qin Yi was lost in thought, Xie Yanzhou barged in without being notified.
"Is Your Highness hiding something from me? Qianqian's life or death is unknown. Instead of focusing on finding her, you want to start a war with Nan Jing. What are you thinking? Revenge can wait. Isn't finding her the most important thing right now?"
Qin Yi closed the box without making a sound, then turned around and quietly looked at Xie Yanzhou.
"She's not dead."
Xie Yanzhou was stunned. "Why is Your Highness so certain?"
Qin Yi coughed a few times, sat down with his hands on the table, and looked out the window, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds to see another world.
"When she was just a month old, she was almost suffocated by Aunt Liu, but fortunately, heaven took pity on her and sent her to another world..."
——
Jinshi, inside the nation's top private hospital.
A middle-aged man in a suit sat by the hospital bed. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his handsome eyes were filled with intense heartache and suppressed anger.
On the hospital bed, the woman, her face pale but her beautiful features still visible, closed her eyes and breathed evenly and shallowly.
Knock knock knock—
A young man in a black suit knocked on the door. "Mr. Nan, Director Yu wants to see you. He's downstairs."
Nan Jinchuan's face darkened. "I won't see him. Tell him to get lost."
He dared to use inferior wires on his daughter, almost causing her to fall off a cliff, and now she still dares to run in front of him.
Hmph, just wait until you get blacklisted.
The young man glanced at the hospital bed. "Master Nan, Miss loves acting. If we drive Director Yu to the brink, I'm afraid no director will dare to let her act again."
Nan Jinchuan exuded the authority of a superior, declaring, "Who dares to refuse my daughter, Nan Jinchuan's daughter? Unless they don't want to work in the entertainment industry anymore."
The young man paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I'll go and send them away right away." His worries were indeed unnecessary.
"Qin Yi..."
The person in the hospital bed seemed to be waking up, murmuring someone's name.
"Stinky baby?" Nan Jinchuan called out softly, full of anticipation.
The woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry, but the calls she heard were clear.
"My darling, my sweetheart, you're finally awake! Does your head hurt? Is anything bothering you? Are you hungry?"
"Old geezer?" Nan Qianyue looked completely bewildered when she saw the person in front of her.
She's traveled back to the modern era!?
But why... am I not as happy as I imagined?
While she was distracted, several doctors came in and performed various examinations on her.
Nan Qianyue's thoughts were like a flood. After sorting them out as quickly as possible, she grabbed Nan Jinchuan's hand and said, "You old geezer, I have something to ask you."
