...half an hour later.
Bai Shu brought the medicine to the marshal's tent.
"Ah Yue? Is the Prince not here?"
Nanqianyue fiddled with the cup, thinking, "He should be back soon."
Bai Shu looked at her and teased, "A-Yue and the Prince are getting more and more familiar with each other now."
Nan Qianyue opened her eyes and said lazily, "Brother Bai, don't talk nonsense. I'm not familiar with him at all, and I'm not even as familiar with you as I am with him."
Bai Shu smiled elegantly and sat down beside her. "A-Yue, what do you think of the Prince?"
Nanqianyue thought for a moment, then shook her head, "It's hard to say, I can't comment."
Bai Shu's gossip-loving nature was piqued. "So, does A-Yue think that the Prince is someone worthy of entrusting one's life to?"
Nan Qianyue frowned. "Why entrust your life to a man?"
Bai Shu choked, unsure how to reply.
Nan Qianyue continued, "Of course, this is just my opinion. If any other woman or woman is willing to entrust her life to him, then that is his good fortune."
Bai Shu's smile was somewhat unnatural. "A-Yue has never had those kinds of feelings for the Prince?"
Nan Qianyue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "What do you think? Of course not. Who would fall in love with someone so easily? That's too frivolous."
Bai Shu tried to defend the prince, saying, "Love at first sight does exist in this world, doesn't A-Yue believe it?"
Nanqianyue chuckled, "That's called lust at first sight."
However, after thinking about it for a moment, she changed her words and said, "Most love at first sight is lust at first sight, but it is not impossible that there are the most sincere and simple emotions in this world. Perhaps due to the influence of many elements such as magnetic field, smell, voice, and eye contact, people fall in love with each other as soon as they meet."
Bai Shu was just wondering what to say in response when he heard her words and nodded excitedly, "Yes! Love at first sight does exist in this world!"
Nanqian Yue smiled tactfully, "Just some inferences, anyway, I've never encountered it."
Bai Shu's expression grew increasingly anxious, lamenting that those involved are often blinded while bystanders see things more clearly. "A-Yue, how do you know you didn't..."
"What are you talking about?" Qin Yi suddenly appeared at the door.
Bai Shu immediately stood up and successfully received a warning look from the prince.
"Just a casual chat. I'm here to deliver medicine to Your Highness. Please remember to drink it. I'll take my leave now." Bai Shu left with a smile.
For some reason, after Qin Yi entered, the air seemed to have inexplicably turned a few degrees colder.
It's the dead of summer!
"Didn't you have something to tell me?" Nan Qianyue reminded her.
Qin Yi looked at her quietly for a while, without saying a word, and walked straight over, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it down in a few gulps.
After another moment of silence, Qin Yi said in a deep voice, "I want to tell you that the date for returning to the capital can be brought forward."
Nan Qianyue's lips twitched. "This is the big deal you were talking about?"
She thought he was going to transfer his assets to her, and she had already prepared her words of refusal.
A strange emotion flickered in Qin Yi's dark eyes, but he quickly concealed it. His voice softened, "Isn't it important that you find your family?"
Nanqianyue silently looked up at the tent top, then solemnly said, "Qin Yi, I only saved you by accident. It doesn't mean we have a good relationship. We are just strangers who met by chance. I don't need your repayment. I don't need you to help me find my memories or my family."
"You have no right to restrict my freedom. I will leave tomorrow, and I hope you will not stop me."
After saying that, she got up and turned to leave without a trace of regret.
...After a month of sleeping, I woke up naturally to find the sun already shining brightly over the earth.
She wanted to change back into the costume she was wearing on set, but then she thought that the costumes from the demon realm were a bit too flashy.
"Ah Yue, may I come in?" Bai Shu stood outside the tent with food in his hands.
Nanqian Yue had just finished braiding her hair when she said, "Come in."
Bai Shu walked in with a gentle smile, put down the food, and said with a smile, "A-Yue, the villagers nearby sent over some local specialties, come and try them."
Nan Qianyue walked over calmly. "Brother Bai, I'm about to leave."
Bai Shu was stunned. "Ah Yue, do you... does the Prince know?"
Nanqianyue nodded as she ate, "I told him last night."
"The prince agreed?" Bai Shu asked in astonishment.
Nan Qianyue frowned slightly. "Why do I need his consent? I'm not a prisoner."
Bai Shu's expression was complicated, with worry between his brows. "A-Yue, the border is very dangerous. You are a young girl. What will you do if you are away from protection and encounter danger?"
Nan Qianyue remained calm and said, "That's my business, Brother Bai, please don't try to persuade me anymore."
She ate very quickly, not even bothering to savor the taste. She casually wiped her mouth, stood up, clasped her hands in greeting to Bai Shu, and said, "I'm leaving now. See you again someday!"
A quarter of an hour later, the southward-bound moon was stopped by the guards at the west gate:
"You cannot leave without an access token!"
Annoyed, Nanqianyue raised her voice, "I'm not from the military, get out of the way!"
Guard: "You can't leave without an entry/exit token!"
When the southward migration happened, she snapped, "Can't you understand human language? I'm not from here, get out of my way!"
Guard: "You can't leave without an entry/exit token!"
Southward Migration Month: "..."
"What happened?" a deep voice sounded from behind.
The guards immediately saluted, "Marshal!"
Qin Yi's emotionless gaze fell on Nan Qianyue's furious face. "It's really dangerous outside, why don't you believe me?"
Nanqian Yueqi laughed, "No matter how dangerous it is, that's my business, and you have no right to interfere with my freedom."
She walked up to Qin Yi, pointed her index finger at his chest, and said, "I saved you, and this is how you treat your savior?"
