Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 306 Xiqi Palace

In the majestic and solemn hall of the Xiqi Palace, Nangong Qi was extremely anxious after hearing the news that Shen Shaodong and his group had successfully defeated the pirates on the border coast. His heart felt like it was burning in fire, and he immediately decided to set off to find Shen Li.

After Emperor Nangong Zhaolie learned of this, he hurried to Nangong Qi's bedroom, his face filled with worry. He said, "Qi'er, if you insist on going, your father won't stop you. But the journey will be bumpy and full of dangers. You must bring more guards with you. After all, those people are from Beichen, and we have to be on guard."

When Nangong Qi heard this, he was immediately furious, his face flushed red, and he shouted: "I was stranded in the wilderness, my life hanging by a thread, and it was Shen Li who saved me without caring about her own safety.

In the Shen family, Uncle Shen and everyone else are very caring and considerate to me. These are the Beichen people you mentioned!

They are sincere to me and don't have the ulterior motives you mentioned.

"There, I felt warmth and kindness, not at all what you imagined! It's so much better than the Xiqi Palace, which is filled with power struggles and filth!"

Nangong Zhaolie saw his son getting angry, and he felt helpless. He quickly said, "Qi'er, it's your fault. You've judged me by your own standards. It's just that you're getting lost..."

Nangong Qi waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, "I understand. Alright, alright, Father, there's no need to say more. I'll bring more people with me and make sure we don't get lost. Don't worry."

At this time, the old eunuch beside him also came forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has made up his mind. Can you send some secret guards to follow him so that he can have some protection?"

Nangong Zhaolie nodded slightly and sighed: "This is the only way. I hope he can return safely."

Nangong Qi said without even turning his head, "No need. I have my own arrangements. It would be inconvenient for the secret guards to follow me."

After saying this, he turned around and told his attendants to prepare their luggage, leaving Nangong Zhaolie standing there, his face full of worry and helplessness.

Nangong Zhaolie looked at Nangong Qi's departing back, frowning, thinking to himself: What kind of girl is Shen Li? She could make Qi'er so obsessed with her that he even went to look for her regardless of his own safety.

Forget it, if she is betrothed to Qi'er, maybe Qi'er can calm down and stop being so absent-minded all day long, which is also a good thing.

I just don't know what Shen Li's character and talent are like. Is she worthy of my son? Can she bear the honor and responsibility of being the princess of Xiqi?

Besides, she is from Beichen, and the relationship between the two countries is complicated. If this matter is to be promoted, it will probably take some time to plan.

Nangong Qi was extremely anxious and hurried back to his palace as fast as the wind.

As soon as he entered the palace, he went straight to the inner room and packed his luggage quickly and carefully.

His hands kept moving between various clothes and objects, sorting out the necessary items one by one and putting them into the package, with a hint of anxiety and anticipation in his eyes.

After everything was packed up, he immediately summoned ten of his personal guards.

These secret guards were all agile and had stern expressions. They stood in front of Nangong Qi, quietly waiting for his orders.

Nangong Qi glanced at them, and after a moment's thought, he felt that the number of people was still a little insufficient, so he quickly ordered loudly: "Go and select a dozen more experts. This trip must be foolproof."

Soon, all the personnel were gathered and everything was ready. Nangong Qi stroked the compass he had carefully crafted, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.

He raised his head slightly, his thoughts had already drifted away, and he had already begun to imagine the scene when he met Shen Li.

The corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, and he murmured to himself, "After not seeing her for a few years, she should have grown into a graceful young lady."

The gentle tone was filled with longing and concern for Shen Li, as if he had already seen the familiar yet unfamiliar figure waiting for him ahead.
