Chapter 1363: Chapter 1363: Little Yanyan Taken Away

"Here they come, here they come! His Majesty and the Empress are arriving! Hurry, hurry, kneel down, everyone kneel down to welcome His Majesty and the Empress!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up, and the crowd instantly erupted.

The officers and soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately urged the many commoners to kneel, creating a dense mass. However, there was still a constant stream of people flowing toward the riverbank, joining the kneeling crowd.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er walked shoulder to shoulder towards the dock.

Civil and Military Ministers closely followed behind, each with a beaming smile and a respectful expression. Many others also followed, from the Qin Family, the Su Family, and some whose names they had seen but couldn’t remember. They all kept converging, wanting to get closer to the Emperor and Empress, but were driven away by the elite guards beside them.

Zhang Mei hurriedly said goodbye to Big Zhang and joyfully went forward to greet them.

Three months ago, Qin Yi had finally found the heart of the array formation and had eagerly rushed back to the cave after successfully altering the Formation of Shifting Stars and Changing Movements. However, when he reopened the cave, he couldn’t find Su Pan’er.

Qin Yi frantically yelled, searching in the waist-deep water.

The water level in the cave gradually receded, and the mountain walls slowly restored, revealing the true nature of the cave. Just as he was about to despair, he suddenly saw a piece of light green fabric.

"Pan’er!"

Qin Yi lunged forward, groping eagerly in the murky water and indeed touched a cold body.

At that moment, joy and sorrow intertwined, leaving Qin Yi at a loss for words.

He desperately slapped Su Pan’er’s face and even tried mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but to no avail in waking the slumbering figure.

Just when he felt like dying, that already cold body suddenly emitted a violent cough and slowly opened her eyes...

"Be careful!"

Seeing Su Pan’er almost step on a protruding cobblestone, Qin Yi quickly grabbed her hand, "Be careful not to trip, come this way!"

Su Pan’er smiled at Qin Yi.

What more could a wife ask for with such a husband?

"I know; there are so many people watching, let go!"

"His Majesty holding the Empress’s hand, who dares to speak against it?"

Qin Yi laughed like a child, not only not letting go but even more elated.

Looking back at Old Qin, his smile slightly restrained, "Dad, really won’t you come with us to the palace? We..."

Old Qin leaned on his cane and escorted them, shaking his head without hesitation upon hearing this, "The best thing I, Old Qin, have done in my life was to bring you back with a kind heart that day. My life now is good. I am content! Nothing else needed."

"Foster father..."

Qin Yi wanted to persuade further, but Old Qin firmly gestured with his hand: "My mind is made up, Your Majesty need not persuade me further!"

Qin Yi looked helpless and glanced at Su Pan’er. The couple progressively bowed deeply to Old Qin.

This bow was a grand bow from the current Emperor and Empress. Old Qin was so moved that his whole body trembled; he wanted to avoid it but was stopped by Qin Yi. The couple truly gave Old Qin a deep bow before standing up to say goodbye.

Family members from the Qin and Su Families who had waited for a long time also gathered around, inevitably resulting in a round of laughing and joking.

This time entering the capital, Qin Yi brought along many descendants from both the Su and Qin families. Though neither he nor Su Pan’er were children of the Su or Qin families, one must not forget one’s origins; helping out however possible is necessary!

Once everyone had settled their discussions and boarded the ship. As the large ship began to move slowly, Su Pan’er suddenly exclaimed.

"Hey! Something’s not right, it feels like someone is missing."

She couldn’t help but look back and forth, "It really isn’t right! What’s going on..."

"Missing someone? Missing who..."

Qin Yi looked around; too many people had boarded the ship today! They were to follow the water route east and then head north. There were indeed many passengers on the ship, and for a moment, it was hard to recall who exactly was missing.

"Yan Yan, little Yan Yan? Yan Yan is gone!"

Su Xian’er, standing with Lui Muyi, suddenly exclaimed.

Three months ago, in a critical moment, Su Xian’er had taken an arrow for little Yan Yan. She had been unconscious for seven days before she finally regained a fragile thread of life.

Even during her coma, Su Xian’er had been calling for little Yan Yan!

Originally, her actions had nearly caused the death of little Yan Yan, but now that her faults and merits had offset each other, the resentment in Su Pan’er and Qin Yi’s hearts finally dissipated. Su Pan’er realized that although Su Xian’er held some hatred and jealousy towards her and had made mistakes, her love for little Yan Yan was genuine.

This was evident from the regretful murmurs unconsciously spoken during her coma.

This time, as they headed to the capital, they specifically brought Su Xian’er along, planning to let her recuperate properly in the city.

But now, little Yan Yan was nowhere to be found.

"This child really is..."

Qin Yi hadn’t expected such an event and reminisced, "When we left the Qin Mansion earlier, I had called that child to follow us as we exited. How did she disappear after that? Quick, go look for her!"

Everyone on deck sprang into action, searching everywhere.

Soon after, Xiren, who had decided to stay in her old home, was brought to the deck: "Empress, the First Princess had left a small gift for your servant, saying to open it after the ship had set sail. When everyone came searching for someone, your servant remembered it. Upon opening it, I found a letter meant for you."

Xiren opened a small box, revealing its contents. Inside, besides a ruby pomegranate hairpin, there was also a letter.

Su Pan’er took the letter, tore open the envelope, slowly unfolded the letter, and hastily read it. Her expression immediately darkened, and she handed it to Qin Yi. Qin Yi read it quickly and silently, folded the letter, glanced silently at Su Pan’er, and gave a wave of his hand.

"Set sail!"

"But, but little Yan Yan hasn’t been found yet."

Su Xian’er was anxious!

"No need to search any further. This child is mischievous; she said she wanted to travel by land, not by boat, and has already gone ahead. Set sail!"

After giving his orders, Qin Yi turned and entered the ship’s cabin.

Su Pan’er followed him.

Once they were alone, their true worries emerged.

"What do you think about what this child mentioned in the letter, how much of it is true, and how much is false?"

Qin Yi slapped the table with a hand: "This child, couldn’t even learn from the past incident when Su Xian’er abducted her, and has gone off with someone else again! Last time it was still good, as Su Xian’er was at least her Aunt Wu, but this time? That rascal pig hasn’t shown up for so long, yet she said she sneaked away, striking first and reporting later, leaving just a letter before leaving. Such audacity!"

With this matter raised, Qin Yi was filled with anger.

"Alright, don’t be angry now."

Su Pan’er frowned and pondered for a moment: "Though the rascal pig is unreliable in small matters, he never blurs things in major ones. Since he took little Yan Yan away, he surely will bring her back. The child has grown up, and she must eventually strike out on her own. Besides, Yan Yan is already old enough; we cannot always keep her tied to our apron strings. How can she grow into a big tree without weathering storms? Even young eagles must leave their nests and fly towards the sky to grow."

"Alas! That’s the only way!"

Qin Yi sighed.

Watching the large ship recede from the dock, the surrounding mountains and everything else receded into the background. The crowd on the dock eventually shrank to tiny black dots, disappearing from view.
