Considering the fact that Lou Yihan speaks fluent Chinese, Nan Yingzhi analyzed that he was either a person who had lived on the border between the two countries for a long time and was influenced by the people around him, or he was a prince or noble who received a good education.

Although Lou Yi lives in the open air, he has a fair complexion and elegant manners, and seems to have no worries about food and clothing. He is just a young master who listens to his master and goes out to make a living. Nan Yingzhi prefers the latter - Lou Yi is a nobleman of Beishuo.

But now, the two countries are at war. If Lou Yi was a prince or noble of Beishuo, he should have been dragged to join the war long ago, instead of leisurely visiting the world here, or even having the energy to be a hero and save the beauty.

Unable to figure it out for a moment, Nan Yingzhi stared at Lou Yi's face again.

Lou Yi had a beautiful face, even gentle, and he did not have the deep eye sockets that were characteristic of the Beishuo people. However, his strength showed that he was not someone to be trifled with.

This extreme contrast reminded Nan Yingzhi of some stories about Beishuo.

The people of Beishuo were mainly nomadic. Except for the imperial capital, the tribes had no fixed place to live. They all moved wherever there was lush grass and water. They lived in different places in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Its royal family is similar to that of Dali, with more yin than yang, few males, and many princesses. Unlike Dali, which has two princes, Yunji and Yunting, Beishuo has only produced a mixed-race prince, Yuchi Yi, in all these years.

He has a feminine appearance, with perfect facial features inherited from his mother from Dali, but his physique is as strong as his father, the Emperor of Beishuo. He has a cheerful personality and is the dream object of many girls in Beishuo.

But Yuchi Yi was free and easy by nature and did not want to be bound by an engagement, so she was free until Yun Yan was sent to his bed.

But for Yun Yan, it was indeed love at first sight.

To put it in modern terms, Yuchi Yi's change before and after is from "Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed" to "What in the world can compare to my wife?".

In this regard, Nan Yingzhi wanted to give him a few lines from the song "I Love the Country More than the Beauty" - "I love the country, I love the beauty more, which hero is willing to be alone."

Among the many details, the one that is related to ear piercings is that it is rumored that Yuchi Yi often wore sea blue pendant earrings.

Although Lou Yi is not wearing any earrings now, it is not difficult to imagine how dazzling he will be when he puts them on.

For a moment, Nan Yingzhi wanted to ask Lou Yi why he got his ears pierced and whether he was mixed-race, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that this was a bit strange.

Lou Yi is Yun Yan's savior, but not her savior, so why is she so anxious?

Due to lack of sleep, the dull headache became even more severe, making Nan Yingzhi feel very uncomfortable.

If there wasn't someone in the reception room, she wouldn't want to lose face for the "Prince Regent". Nan Yingzhi even wanted to bang her head against the wall.

Lou Yi and Yun Yan were chatting animatedly and didn't notice her for a moment.

Ling Feng leaned over to Nan Yingzhi's ear and asked, "Do you have a headache?"

Nan Yingzhi nodded slowly as cold sweat oozed from his forehead due to the pain.

Ling Feng took over and spoke softly: "Let me rub it for you."

Although it is said that three times the limit, bad things can only be tolerated three times, but in Nan Yingzhi's opinion, it is worthy of vigilance when it happens twice in a row.

Including the previous one, this headache has occurred twice in a row. Theoretically, I should see a doctor.

But it's late now and they are probably off work, so I'd better bear with it.

However, she began to wonder why Yun Ji didn't see a doctor.

Coupled with Lou Yi's confusing background, many doubts accumulated in Nan Yingzhi's mind. He frowned and looked a little gloomy.

It was late, and Yun Yan, who was used to going to bed early, felt a little sleepy. She yawned halfway, but when she saw Nan Yingzhi's face was not good, she quickly stopped and said, "Brother Emperor, are you okay?"

Not wanting to speak due to the pain, Nan Yingzhi reluctantly glanced at Yun Yan and then closed her eyes again.

Feeling that the gloomy atmosphere was about to spread from her body to every corner of the room, Nan Yingzhi complained in her heart, do I look like I'm okay?

"I'm really sorry to bother you so late at night." Knowing that Nan Yingzhi was trying to drive him away, Lou Yi stood up and said, "Send the princess away. I'll be at ease. I won't bother you any more. I'll leave now."

After he finished speaking, he raised his foot and was about to leave.

"Hey," seeing Lou Yi about to leave, Yun Yan called him back, looking anxious, "Mr. Lou, where are you staying tonight? None of the inns outside are accepting guests!"

Hearing Yun Yan calling him, Lou Yi turned his head and smiled at her gently.

"I live in the open air," Lou Yi said this in a low voice, his eyes full of sincerity, with a casual feeling of "It doesn't matter, I can handle it all," "It's not uncommon to spend a night in an alley."

The way he let Jun arrange things for him gave Yun Yan courage.

She carefully extended the invitation: "You saved Yan'er, so you are Yan'er's benefactor for life, but Yan'er offered you a reward, but you refused it, which made Yan'er very embarrassed. Now, you have nowhere to stay, but you can always ask Yan'er to provide you with a place to stay, right?"

Hearing "provide a place to stay", Lou Yi's eyes showed joy, but it disappeared in an instant: "I'm afraid it's not good for the princess's mansion to accommodate a foreign man."

"What are you talking about?" Yun Yan lowered her head and pursed her lips, revealing the shyness that only a young girl can show. "I haven't told you where I'm going to arrange you, so why are you bringing up the Princess's Mansion?"

"Ah," Lou Yi's ears turned red, and he asked Yun Yan to apologize, "Sorry, I was rude."

Hearing this, Nan Yingzhi almost blurted out, "How about you stay in my palace?"

Thinking that there were many secrets in the palace and it would be inconvenient for outsiders to live in, she shut her mouth again.

"By the way," Yun Yan was trapped in the boudoir and had not seen many handsome men. She was dazzled by Lou Yi. She carefully tested his attitude, "Do you really want to live in the princess's mansion with Yan'er?"

If he said "I want to" directly, he would seem like a playboy. Lou Yi did not answer, but asked Yun Yan instead: "What do you think, Princess?"

"Do you want Yan'er to tell me?" Yun Yan didn't need to be restrained like she was with her brother. She blinked her eyes and spoke innocently. "Yan'er thinks that Mr. Lou would love to have you."

"Please...I would love to have you?" Lou Yi's delicate face suddenly turned red, like a brightly colored apple. "I didn't say that. Princess, please don't frame me."

Nan Yingzhi felt that she was too much of an eyesore in front of them. She frowned and looked at them, her already dizzy head feeling even more uncomfortable.

In an instant, she understood how the Imperial Master felt when he saw her interacting with Yun Ji—a glowing light bulb.

But then again, it was also like this when she and Yun Ji were together, as if there were pink bubbles floating in the air?

Being in the middle of it, Nan Yingzhi was almost unaware of it. To ease the pain, she clenched her hands into fists and wanted to hit the painful spot.

Noticing her movements, Lingfeng withdrew his hand from the massage and gently pressed down Nan Yingzhi's restless claws.

Accustomed to persuading Yunji not to abuse himself, Lingfeng used the same words on Nan Yingzhi: "My Lord, don't hurt yourself."

Originally, he just wanted to relieve the pain and had no intention of seriously hurting himself. Nan Yingzhi took a deep breath, barely endured the pain, and slowly put his hand down following the wind.

Thinking of not disturbing Yun Yan and Lou Yi’s conversation, and because there was a court meeting today and she had to get up early, she gently waved Ling Feng’s hand away and stood up with the help of the chair’s armrest.

"You guys chat slowly," Nan Yingzhi said after adjusting to the brief dizziness from standing up. She looked tired and wanted to go to the bedroom. "I'm going to rest."

Realizing that it was not good to be so affectionate with Lou Yi in Nan Yingzhi's mansion, Yun Yan wisely expressed her intention to leave: "It's getting late. My brother has to attend the court tomorrow. Go to bed quickly. I won't disturb you anymore."

Lou Yi also followed her and bowed: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Too tired to say anything more, Nan Yingzhi said "hmm" and left before them.

Nan Yingzhi felt dizzy and light-headed as she moved into the hall with unsteady steps. She fell heavily on the bed and wanted to fall asleep as soon as she touched the bed.

The headache was always there, barely enough to keep her awake and prevent her from falling asleep.

Originally, she thought that the imperial physician was also a human being, and it was very tiring to get up in the middle of the night to see patients. Nan Yingzhi kept trying to hold on, but she couldn't sleep, which made her unbearable.

Nan Yingzhi got up and shouted to the outside: "Lingfeng Lingyu, please call the imperial physician!"

Lingfeng was sleeping nearby and Lingyu was keeping watch outside. When they heard her speak, they both agreed quickly.

Ling Feng got off the simple bed next to him, pulled up the bed curtain, and asked Nan Yingzhi: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Before Nan Yingzhi could say anything, Lingyu suddenly pushed the door open.

Seeing Nan Yingzhi's bad face, he wanted to say something caring, but the news was urgent, so Lingyu could only grit his teeth and change it to: "Your Highness, there is a war report from the front line, and the emperor asked you to enter the palace immediately!"
