Why is it that every time I contact Qin Yi, he's punishing someone?
Nanqian Yuechu stood outside the main tent, not daring to enter rashly, lest he witness some unspeakable secret.
But she could still hear the sounds inside.
"Your Highness, the city lord acted rashly in a moment of confusion. I am willing to take the punishment in his place. Please spare his life!"
That voice belongs to... the armored man.
"To conspire with others to assassinate the prince is probably not a moment of confusion, but a deliberate act!"
This is a blue-clad woman.
"Go and invite her in."
This is Qin—
Southward Migration Month: ? ? ?
Who should we invite in?
After migrating south, Yuechao looked around and found no one else besides the guards.
At this moment, the curtain was pulled open from the inside, and a man in green came out. When he saw Nan Qianyue, he immediately smiled and said, "So it's Miss Nan. Your Highness invites you in. Please come in, Miss Nan." He gestured for her to enter.
Nanqianyue raised an eyebrow and slowly walked inside.
Then she saw the City Lord of Fengdu being forced to kneel on the ground by the black-armored soldiers, with the armored man kneeling beside him. Qin Yi stood behind a map of a few square meters, quietly staring at her.
"Did I disturb you?" Nan Qianyue asked casually, without a trace of remorse on her face.
Qin Yi waved to her, "No, come over here."
Nan Qianyue nodded, ignoring Qin Yi's summons, and walked to the chairs lined up on both sides, then sat down quietly.
Seeing that the prince hadn't withdrawn his hand, Qingyi couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him.
Only Miss Nan dared to defy the prince so much, yet the prince couldn't do anything about it.
The woman in green could barely suppress the schadenfreude on her face.
Qin Yi's face darkened, and he silently withdrew his hand, his gaze towards the Lord of Fengdu City growing even colder.
He said coldly, "Ignoring the lives of the people, secretly exploiting their wealth, and conspiring with others to assassinate me, do you think I would still leave you a way out?"
The Lord of Fengdu suddenly laughed, a wild and arrogant laugh, "Hahaha, Qin Yi! Do you think you can get a reward by taking Fengdu without losing a single soldier? How do you know that the person who conspired with me is not your supreme ruler? Hahaha, there are plenty of people who want you dead. You, Qin Yi, have so much blood on your hands, you should have died long ago!"
"How dare you!" the man in blue shouted.
The armored man was frantic. "Lord, you're being foolish! Quickly apologize to the Prince!"
"Pah!" The Lord of Fengdu spat at the armored man. "What right do you, a traitor, have to talk to me like that!"
While the "performance" was in full swing here, Nanqianyue had already started brewing tea for herself over there.
She was getting thirsty just looking at it; it would be nice to have some snacks.
Tsk, she's actually getting hungry just thinking about snacks.
So, the sharp-eyed Nan Qianyue spotted the dried fruit on the table next to Qin Yi. Without hesitation, she walked straight past Qin Yi and took the whole plate of dried fruit away.
Qingyi: ...Awesome!
The armored man also noticed Nan Qianyue's bold behavior, and seeing that Qin Yi hadn't said a single bad word about her throughout, he thought for a moment and suddenly knelt down facing Nan Qianyue.
"Miss Nan, the city lord still has a family to support, he can't die! Please, I beg you, plead for him and ask Prince Anzheng to spare his life!" After saying this, he kowtowed three times.
Nanqianyue almost choked on her tea. What's going on here? How did she get dragged into this?
What does the life or death of the Fengdu City Lord's entire family have to do with her?
The man in green was getting anxious. He prayed in his heart, "Please, Miss Nan, please don't help the villain plead with the prince! The prince is hard-hearted, but he'll soften like cotton in front of you. If you open your mouth, the prince might make a mistake again!"
Alas! Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.
"Miss Nan, you seem to be a kind-hearted person. Please, I beg you, plead for the city lord!" The armored man continued to kowtow.
Nanqianyue felt that this person was crazy and immediately frowned, "I'm not his father, why should he listen to me?"
Qin Yi's expression darkened.
The armored man was stunned for a long time before he could recover.
Then Nanqianyue continued, "If you care about his family, then take care of them after he dies. Why are you kneeling here begging? Besides, he's not worth it. You should know that."
She spoke slowly and deliberately, and then picked up her teacup and drank it.
The woman in green finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The armored man slowly lowered his head. The reason he pleaded so desperately was because of the city lord's mother's kindness to him when he was a child. If it weren't for her, he would have died in the wilderness long ago.
Qin Yi raised his eyes, his expression icy. "Drag him out and behead him."
"yes!"
The black-armored soldiers dragged the cursing Fengdu City Lord out, and after a short while, everything fell completely silent.
The armored man stood up, his lips tightly pursed. He bowed to Qin Yi with his hands clasped, saying, "I was being presumptuous. I hope Prince Anzheng will allow me to take his body back for burial."
Qin Yi glanced at him briefly before walking towards Nan Qianyue, saying, "Whatever."
Seeing Qin Yi getting closer, Nanqianyue shrank back and asked, "What are you doing?"
The man in green pursed his lips and consciously stepped aside, leaving some space for his lord.
Qin Yi stood in front of Nan Qianyue, then slowly bent down, his gaze shifting from Nan Qianyue's wary face to the teacup in her hand, before snatching it away and drinking it down in one gulp.
"You made tea but didn't even share a cup with me," he said sullenly.
Nan Qianyue looked like she'd seen a ghost. "That's the one I drank from."
"Yes, I know." Qin Yi sat down beside her, his palm naturally covering the back of her hand. "Did you come to ask me about the Southern Prime Minister?"
Nanqianyue withdrew her hand, "Almost."
"Ask away." Qin Yi refilled the empty teacup and handed it to Nan Qianyue.
