"Miss Shen."

The person who stopped the car was Xiao Qian'an's close follower Liuyun.

This alley is far from the main street. Due to its remote location, few people come and go. Asi also followed Shen Nanzhi's instructions to take a shortcut here.

After Shen Nanzhi raised the curtain, Liu Yun said respectfully, "Miss Shen, my master has something to tell Miss Shen. The Flower Festival will be held in two days, and the master would like to invite Miss Shen to Wanbao Tower for a chat."

The annual Flower Festival is a grand event in the capital.

On this day, no one, from royal nobles to common people, would restrict girls from going out.

Not only can you go out for spring outings during the day, but there will also be a lantern festival in the capital at night, with fireworks set off in the city. Wanbao Tower is the best place to watch the fireworks.

As the largest restaurant in Beijing, reservations must be made in advance on normal days, let alone on the Flower Festival.

Shen Nanzhi had no interest in this lantern festival, not to mention that it was Xiao Qian'an who invited him.

Without thinking, she replied directly: "It's unfortunate. I had other things to do that day. I hope Your Highness the Seventh Prince will not be offended."

After saying that, Shen Nanzhi didn't even give Liuyun a chance to speak and directly lowered the curtain.

The matters between Jiang Yanran and the Jiang family have not been dealt with yet, and Shen Nanzhi does not have the energy to deal with Xiao Qian'an at the moment.

Moreover, Xiao Qian'an was not someone she could easily deal with at the moment.

If you can avoid it, just avoid it.

Shen Nanzhi thought so, but somehow, she always felt like she seemed to have forgotten something very important.

Before she could figure out what was going on, the carriage had already stopped at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

As soon as Shen Nanzhi got off the carriage, he saw a carriage parked outside the mansion.

The carriage was simply decorated and had no special signs, but Shen Nanzhi recognized the man standing next to the carriage.

Just two days ago, after she asked someone to deliver a letter of safety to the Zhenbei Palace, the guard Mo Yi from the palace followed her to serve Xiao Chuyun.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi dismounting from afar, Mo Yi hurriedly led the horse and drove the carriage over.

Soon, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Xiao Chuyun's handsome face.

Compared to his pale appearance in the past two days, his complexion was a little better today, but he still looked sickly and pale.

Even if he did nothing, just leaning back in the carriage, he was like the most colorful stroke in a splash-ink landscape painting by a famous artist.

Such a person seems to have received all the favors from the Creator.

He was at the age when he was full of energy and ambition, but his wings were clipped and he was trapped in such a sick and broken body. The more this happened, the more regrettable and heartbreaking it was.

Not only that, the rumors in the capital did not spare him either.

Some people said that he was born unlucky, and his mother was of low status. Before he joined the army at the age of sixteen, not only the world, but even the emperor might not have remembered that he had such a son.

When foreign enemies invaded, he clearly used his military prowess like a god and turned the tide, but apart from the title of King of Zhenbei, all that was left was his sickly body and the malice coming from all directions like a tide.

The world will soon forget the heroes of the past, and people's bad nature makes them more willing to pull the heroes down from the altar.

They forgot that he had sworn to fight to the death and resist foreign invaders, and only remembered that he had an unlucky fate and would bring misfortune to those around him.

They no longer talked about the heroic demeanor of the former God of War Prince. Instead, after eating and drinking, they talked about the possibility that he had damaged his foundation and was incapable of being a human being. Not to mention marrying a wife or concubines, he didn't even have a full house of maids. They talked about the possibility that he might die alone and never have an offspring.

But even though he was surrounded by such malicious intent, the person in front of him remained gentle and calm.

Xiao Chuyun looked at Shen Nanzhi with a gentle expression and a voice as warm as jade: "Thank you for saving me before, Miss. I have been bothering you a lot in the mansion these two days. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, Miss Shen can send someone to send a letter to the Zhenbei Palace."

It turned out that he was waiting here on purpose, waiting for Shen Nanzhi to come back and thank her before leaving.

Shen Nanzhi waved her hand hurriedly: "It's just a small favor, I'm glad I can help His Majesty."

If Xiao Chuyun hadn't existed in her previous life, she would probably still be trapped in the dark imperial mausoleum, pressed down by the coffin.

The little help she provided was of little use.

However, thinking of what Doctor Liu had whispered to her before, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He said that Xiao Chuyun's old leg injury could have been avoided, but he didn't know whether it was due to untimely treatment or improper treatment that delayed the disease and left this difficult-to-eliminate root of trouble.

Although he could stand and walk, he could not do it for long. For an ordinary person, walking normally was like walking on a knife edge with every step.

What Shen Nanzhi couldn't understand was that with his status, how could he not receive timely treatment or receive improper treatment if he was injured?

Unless...someone doesn't want him to get better.

But after all, they were not familiar with each other, and Shen Nanzhi was just guessing, so he could not speak rashly. He just lowered his eyes and said, "I do have something I would like to ask Your Majesty for help."

Seeing Xiao Chuyun's dark eyes looking at him, Shen Nanzhi continued, "I have a friend who suffers from a strange disease. Many doctors are helpless. I wonder if Your Highness knows any famous doctors?"

Xiao Chuyun has been bedridden for a long time and has seen countless doctors. It is reasonable to ask him for help with this problem.

Besides, it wasn't a lie, she really needed a doctor right now.

Xiao Chuyun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll ask him to come see you in two days."

Since he said so, Shen Nanzhi didn't ask any more questions. "In that case, I would like to thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Chuyun nodded and lowered the curtain.

Seeing his carriage moving away, Shen Nanzhi withdrew his gaze.

I don’t know who the doctor sent by Xiao Chuyun is. I hope to get useful information from him.

If possible, Shen Nanzhi wanted to help him.

"Zhizhi?"

Shen Nanzhi was lost in thought when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

When Shen Nanzhi turned around, she met a pair of clear and bright eyes.

The young man always wore a crescent-shaped white cloud brocade robe. He had a tall and slender figure, and his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque. He was truly a gentleman as beautiful as jade, unparalleled in the world.

It was Shen Nanzhi's uncle, the only surviving son of her grandfather, Shen Huaishu, who had been appointed as the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Uncle!"

When she saw him, the gloom in Shen Nanzhi's heart was swept away, and what was left was only the joy and emotion of reunion after a long separation.

Although he is the elder, the age difference between them is not much, and the uncle never acts like an elder in front of her. He always lets her do what she wants and indulges her when something happens.

He spoiled her even more than her grandfather.

He was also raised in an old house in Jiangnan and grew up with Shen Nanzhi. He only returned to Kyoto two years ago. The two have a very deep relationship.

Because she was too excited, Shen Nanzhi's eyes instantly turned red.

"Uncle..."

It's great that you're still alive.

Shen Nanzhi choked up in her throat and swallowed the rest of the sentence.
