Ye Qichi just coldly stared at Xiao Jinxing.

Watching how Xiao Jinxing unequivocally favored Bai Mowan.

"Today, the people you brought have injured our soldiers and damaged their morale. According to military rules, punishment is required." Xiao Jinxing said coldly, "I command that Princess Chen and her party will fast for one day and be confined for one day, not allowed to leave their individual tents!"

Ye Qichi truly wanted to slap Xiao Jinxing’s hypocritical face.

She said, "Xiao Jinxing, must you be so biased?"

Xiao Jinxing indifferently replied, "I, the Prince, am fair and just!"

Ye Qichi sneered.

Does your freaking face not hurt?!

Xiao Jinxing paid no mind to Ye Qichi’s expression and stood up, ready to leave.

"Xiao Jinxing!" Ye Qichi called out to him loudly.

Xiao Jinxing paused in his steps.

"The order to harm Bai Mowan’s subordinates and the duel were my ideas," Ye Qichi said towards Xiao Jinxing’s back, "If there is to be punishment, it should be for me alone, and it has nothing to do with them!"

Xiao Jinxing’s expression changed slightly.

"If it’s confinement, if it’s fasting, I will endure it!" Ye Qichi said coldly, "One day is not enough, you can punish me for two days! The limit for a person not eating is seven days, and for not drinking, three days!"

"Since Princess Chen is willing to take the punishment, I will fulfill your wish!" Xiao Jinxing said coldly, "From this moment on, guard Princess Chen well, do not let her leave the tent, and without my permission, do not provide meals for her!"

Having said that, Xiao Jinxing flung his sleeve and walked away.

Bai Mowan did not expect that Xiao Jinxing would actually punish Ye Qichi for her.

Truthfully, today’s issue was her fault.

Her people were intentionally provoking, and just now Ye Qichi had clearly stated that Xie Ruotong wasn’t helping Hong Shu, she was just too angry to think, and on her own thought, if Xie Ruotong had come to help Hong Shu, she couldn’t have been unharmed.

She could see the reality of the situation clearly, Xiao Jinxing couldn’t possibly have misunderstood.

And yet, knowing full well, Xiao Jinxing still chose to punish Ye Qichi...

She had actually been prepared to be punished herself.

Bai Mowan glanced at Ye Qichi.

Ultimately, she said nothing, letting people support Xiao Chun and Zhang Mei as they left the arena.

The other soldiers were also scolded and left.

Only Ye Qichi’s party remained.

And Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was left to guard Ye Qichi.

Seeing everyone had left, Xiao Wu reluctantly approached Ye Qichi, "Princess Chen, you shouldn’t have provoked the Prince, he’s only because..."

"Because he can’t bear to see his Wan’er suffer, right?!" Ye Qichi directly took over Xiao Wu’s words.

"No..." Xiao Wu tried to explain.

"Enough." Ye Qichi bluntly cut off Xiao Wu, "You don’t need to speak any good of Xiao Jinxing for me, the more you speak, the more despicable I find Xiao Jinxing."

Xiao Wu then did not dare to speak anymore.

Ye Qichi was actually quite calm.

She couldn’t tolerate being wronged.

But for things that were blatantly targeted at her, where she clearly couldn’t fight back, she would still endure.

Luckily, she had no expectations of Xiao Jinxing.

Even if she was a bit delusional a while ago, she really didn’t take it to heart.

At this moment, she was resigned to the outcome.

She said to the assassins, "Don’t bother about me, eat and sleep as you should."

Everyone looked at Ye Qichi.

Clearly just now filled with righteous indignation, visibly enraged, but now actually being punished, she could still remain composed.

Shouldn’t ordinary people be upset?!

Shouldn’t one be infuriated being treated like this by their own husband?!

Ye Qichi was indeed no ordinary person.

"I reckon I’ll be confined, Xiao Jinxing surely won’t let you stay in the same tent with me, Ruotong you might as well squeeze in with them temporarily," Ye Qichi said to Xie Ruotong.

"Alright. But Princess..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t starve to death," Ye Qichi said.

Her previously mentioned limits were just the general human limits.

Her unique physical constitution, at least tripled.

As long as Xiao Jinxing is not utterly heartless, she won’t die.

Ye Qichi briefly instructed a few sentences and then followed Xiao Wu to leave first.

Heading towards the original tent of Bai Mowan.

Ye Qichi saw Gu Xingchuan at the entrance of the tent.

Still dressed in that white attire.

Still with the appearance of a graceful young lord.

Still so, clean and clear.

"Xingchuan." Ye Qichi took the initiative to greet.

Gu Xingchuan looked at her composed demeanor and said, "I just heard you arrived at the military camp, and then I heard that the Prince punished you with confinement and fasting."

He said it.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Wherever Ye Qichi is, there seems to be no peace.

Ye Qichi indifferently shrugged her shoulders, "As expected."

"You seem rather calm about it."

"Did you seek me out for something?" Ye Qichi changed the subject.

"Haven’t seen you for a long time, came to check on you."

"Busy in the military camp?" Ye Qichi asked.

"Quite busy. Every day, I need to study battle maps." Gu Xingchuan said, "I must say, I’m beyond my area of expertise now, so while helping the Prince and General strategize, I also need to study military tactics."

"Take it easy, you will achieve great things in the future," Ye Qichi consoled.

"I’m actually fine, but I’m worried about your straightforward personality in the camp," Gu Xingchuan said, "Bai Mowan is ultimately a General, she needs her authority, and must always maintain it, otherwise she can’t establish prestige or lead troops in battle!"

Ye Qichi pursed her lips.

Indeed, she felt impulsive today.

But she did not regret it.

No matter how Xiao Jinxing favored Bai Mowan.

With Bai Mowan’s character, one who wouldn’t take advantage of others, she must have been at fault in this matter.

She would probably scold her own people and not trouble her further.

"Find a chance to apologize to the Prince." Gu Xingchuan suggested, "Don’t be too harsh on yourself."

Ye Qichi smiled lightly.

Hurting her body for Xiao Jinxing, that detestable man, is truly not worth it.

"Then I will go first." Gu Xingchuan did not say more.

"Alright." Ye Qichi nodded.

When Gu Xingchuan left, he couldn’t help but take a deep look at Ye Qichi.

For a long time.

Still suppressed the impulse in his heart and left from Ye Qichi’s presence.

Xiao Wu just watched the interaction between Gu Xingchuan and the Princess.

Gu Xingchuan’s affection towards the Princess, he could see it all very clearly.

He thought.

If the Prince continues like this.

One day, the Princess will definitely run away with someone else.

Xiao Wu followed Ye Qichi into the tent.

Everything inside was neatly tidied up, not even a tea cup was left.

Xiao Wu also quickly looked around and hurriedly said, "Princess, I’ll go prepare a pot of tea for you."

Not eating is fine.

But not drinking is unacceptable.

As a martial artist, he knew well what the body needed.

"No need." Ye Qichi directly lied down on the bed, "I don’t want to implicate you."

"The Prince won’t..."

"Who knows if he will?!" Ye Qichi said, "Go out, I need to rest."
