"Wait a minute, I'll have someone get you some food, and I'll bring some more over tomorrow," Nan Qianyue said, pulling Ahe back as she turned to give the order.
"Manager, go and prepare some food that the elderly and children can eat. The youngest child is still in swaddling clothes. Also, prepare a medium-sized horse."
The steward bowed and replied "Yes," then hurriedly ran off.
As the moon sank southward, she looked down at the rough straw sandals being woven by Ahe, and her nose tingled with emotion.
At that moment, a warm hand embraced her waist, and a strong chest pressed against her shoulder.
She looked up to meet Qin Yi's gaze, tears welling in her eyes, "I've hurt someone again..."
Qin Yi raised his hand and pinched her cheek, saying softly, "You're never the one who harms people; you're the one who saves them."
Nanqian Yue broke through his tears and then smiled, before straightening his expression and saying, "I will take some people with me tomorrow. You are injured, so you should rest well in the manor."
Qin Yi also became serious, "Impossible. Either we go together, or neither of us goes."
Nanqianyue's anger flared up: "Can't you take better care of yourself? You know how badly you're injured!"
Deep pain and fear welled up in Qin Yi's eyes. "I really can't bear to lose you again, Yue'er. Don't leave me behind."
Touched by the news, Nan Qianyue's expression softened instantly. "...Alright then, let's go together."

As night fell, the commander in charge of the southward migration prepared two cartloads of supplies.
Food, clothing, utensils and other daily necessities are all available.
"Your Highness, why not bring them to live in Longmen City?" the woman in red suggested.
Nanqian Yue sighed, "I had already told my grandparents about it before, but they couldn't let go of their homeland and were unwilling to move away."
“But those children can be taken in. Hongyi, take some time to check and see which wealthy families are short of children.”
The woman in red nodded. "Yes."
...
The next morning, three carriages were lined up outside the Marshal's Mansion, each guarded by more than twenty black-clad cavalrymen.
Xie Yanzhou, Qingyi, and Hongyi were also in the line.
Inside the carriage, Nan Qianyue examined Qin Yi's wound for the third time, her brows furrowed. "The scab hasn't healed yet."
Qin Yi took her hand and kissed it. "I'm really okay."
Nan Qianyue's worried expression remained. She straightened Qin Yi's clothes, leaned on his shoulder, and murmured, "I hope it ends soon, and then we can go back to the capital."
