The scorching sun blazed overhead, and the relentless chirping of cicadas from the treetops grated on the nerves.
Fei Yue’er frowned slightly. Having studied history since childhood, she was well aware of the humiliations inflicted by foreign invasions. Though a woman, she shared the same fervent hope for her nation’s strength as any man.
Regardless of whether she would marry into Prince Qi’s household, Pan Yu’s slanderous words about Prince Qi displeased her deeply.
No matter how heartless a person might be, they should never disparage the great victory at Cangzhou—nor the prince who had personally defended its walls.
She spoke softly but firmly, “Cousin, you should leave now. Prince Qi’s future is in Heaven’s hands. I am unwell and must rest. I hope you will devote more time to your studies in the future, rather than idling here.”
Pan Yu’s face paled further. Fei Yue’er was dismissing him—telling him not to return.
“Cousin, believe me, I only want what’s best for you.”
With a sigh, he turned and left.
Once he was out of earshot, Xiao Huan muttered, “Even if Prince Qi were flawed, he’s still better than you. Everyone knows about your wild escapades outside.”
“Xiao Huan.” Fei Yue’er’s voice carried a warning.
