Inside the carriage, Nan Qianyue glared at Qin Yi and said unhappily, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister's Mansion will repay your life-saving grace in full. We will not trouble Your Highness with this journey back to the capital."
After saying that, she got up to leave.
Qin Yi pressed down on her thigh, his expressionless gaze fixed on the carriage. "Young Master Nan, go back. I will escort your elder sister back to the capital."
Nan Yichu outside shuddered. Hearing Prince Anzheng speak up close was terrifying. Fortunately, the beaded curtain prevented Prince Anzheng from seeing his embarrassment.
"Then...then I'll have to trouble Your Highness." Nan Yichu turned and ran away.
He thought to himself, how did his elder sister withstand the pressure from Prince Anzheng? She must have been incredibly nervous sitting in the same car with him.

"If you want to harm the Empress's foundation, you must do it in secret."
Nan Qianyue's expression was solemn. She was just a lowly court lady with no real power here, so how could she possibly contend with the Empress?
Qin Yi kept his eyes on her, noticing every subtle change in her expression.
His Adam's apple bobbed twice, and he suddenly said seriously, "Yue'er, marry me. Only when I have you by my side can I feel at ease."
