The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

It was clearly just a word, but after saying it, Shen Nanzhi felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart.

She did think about it.

He is Xiao Yanchu, and also Xiao Chuyun.

When Qin Suyi came to kill her, and Shen Nanzhi deliberately fell down the stairs, the panic and nervousness in his eyes, which he could not hide in time, made her feel extremely familiar.

No matter how well a person disguises himself, when facing life and death, a momentary look cannot deceive others.

At that time, Shen Nanzhi had the opportunity to seriously injure him with the plum blossom hairpin.

However, it was that one glance that made her startled and instantly panic.

The seeds of doubt were planted.

She should have noticed some strange clues long ago, and at that time, ideas began to emerge in her mind -

When they encountered the Seven Killing Formation and secret passage at the Hot Spring Villa, even with the help of the tracking incense, he took her with him as if they were walking on flat ground, as if they were not unfamiliar with the mechanisms there.

When she was tricked by Xiao Ziyi and sent to Xiao Qian'an's villa through the secret passage, the exit of the secret passage had been clearly blocked. Even her cousin Chang'an and her secret guards who arrived first had not yet traced her whereabouts. Why was Xiao Chuyun able to arrive in time at the most critical moment?

Since these two traps were set up by the old Zhang mentioned by Xiao Yanchu, why did Xiao Chuyun know so much about them?

Even earlier.

The real third prince, Xiao Chuyun, had been frail and sickly since childhood, and had never left Kyoto before being sent to train with the army.

But at that time, Shen Nanzhi accidentally heard Lu Pianpian say that Xiao Chuyun saved her in Shangyang County.

How could he, an unpopular little prince in the cold palace at that time, avoid all the checkpoints and spies and appear in Shangyang County, thousands of miles away?

Because Shen Nanzhi already believed in him subconsciously, she did not investigate further.

Moreover, she was also misled by her dreams.

King Zhenbei Xiao Chuyun and King Ning's rebel army broke through the imperial city, so Shen Nanzhi had a preconceived notion that Xiao Yanchu and Xiao Chuyun were just partners, but she never thought that they might be the same person.

Although no one knew what method he used to conceal his original voice and appearance, even his exposed jaw made Shen Nanzhi unable to see any clues, but the longer she spent with him, the more familiar he felt to Shen Nanzhi.

But she still couldn't be sure.

In the fleeing carriage, he heard the voice of Shen Changan who was so close. Facing his threat, he saw him casually pick up a copper coin with his fingertips and throw it out with internal energy. The posture was exactly the same as when he picked up a small stone at the hot spring villa and shattered the bamboo chair under the empress dowager in an instant.

However, even though she already had some doubts in her heart, Shen Nanzhi did not dare to rashly gamble with the safety of her cousin Changan. But there was one thing she was very sure of in her heart: he would not really hurt her.

That's why she would not hesitate to use her body to throw herself at his hands to block the copper coins that he could use to hurt his cousin Chang'an at any time.

It was also at that moment that she smelled the herbal fragrance from his sleeves. Thinking about everything that had happened before, Shen Nanzhi could finally confirm his identity.

Xiao Yanchu, Xiao Chuyun.

The moment these two names popped into his mind at the same time, Shen Nanzhi felt extremely confused.

The past events came flooding into my mind.

Although more confusions arose in his mind, some thoughts in Shen Nanzhi's heart became more firm.

She stood there, looking down at Yuewu, without looking back.

Until he heard Xiao Yanchu use Xiao Chuyun's voice again and slowly said, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

Even though it was already confirmed, the moment he heard this voice, Shen Nanzhi's restless heart finally settled down.

She subconsciously clenched her fists and concentrated her mind before asking, "If I hadn't discovered it, what would you have done next?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun's voice was still gentle, but with a hint of loneliness, he said: "In a quarter of an hour, Xiao Qi'an's people will follow the signal, but it doesn't matter. When I met Shen Chang'an when I left the city, I left a message with him. He will also bring people to take you back to the Shen family."

At this point, he paused, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again: "From the time Qin Suyi appeared to the time Linjiang Pavilion escaped from the city, although it was all within my calculations, I also wanted to take this opportunity to lure him out and capture all of his people in one fell swoop, so that you can be safe."

In this way, not only did they eliminate the Ning Wang rebels who wanted to harm Shen Nanzhi, but they also gave her a huge credit.

Although this might expose his identity and put him in an irreparable situation, he still did not hesitate at all.

Just like now, even though he has been discovered by Shen Nanzhi, he looks haggard, but he does not show any remorse.

Shen Nanzhi turned around, her eyes fell on his fox mask, and she paused for a moment before saying, "Can you tell me your story?"

Finally, she added, "If you want."

If he was in a difficult situation, Shen Nanzhi would not force him.

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun turned his head away and said lightly, "There's nothing to say."

For him, bringing up the past is like rubbing salt into the wounds that were cut by a knife.

It was the past he least wanted to look back on.

However, since Shen Nanzhi wanted to know, he did not hide it.

"I am indeed not the real Third Prince Xiao Chuyun."

At this point, Xiao Chuyun's throat rolled. He organized his thoughts a little, and fragments of the past instantly emerged in his mind.

Compared to Xiao Chuyun, who was unpopular in the cold palace, Xiao Yanchu, the son of Prince Ning who grew up in Mohe, had a more tragic fate.

He came into this world without his parents' expectations.

When his mother was pregnant with him, she drank abortion pills in an attempt to get rid of this burden. Unfortunately, he was lucky and not only did he not die, but his mother, who was so exhausted from the pregnancy, was unable to survive the birth.

His birthday is the anniversary of Princess Ning's death.

And he also became a taboo in King Ning's mouth.

His father hated him as much as he loved his mother.

His father is the Prince of Ning, who is highly respected by outsiders and the hope for the entire Mohe rebel army to continue resisting. However, he is also the source of his endless fear.

Before he was six years old, he was locked in a dungeon with a window only the size of a palm and had never seen the outside world.

Occasionally he saw a little light through the door that suddenly opened, and then he would be greeted by the poisonous whip raised by his drunken father.

——If it weren’t for you, Wanrou would still be alive and well!

——Why didn’t you die, you beast!

——I wish I could kill you with my own hands! But I have to spare your life because you are her only blood.

——You live to atone for your sins! I will only be happy if your life is worse than death!

The pain that penetrated deep into his bones and the vague hatred made him shiver even now when he recalled it.

When he was still young and had not yet learned how to do things, the first thing he learned was to dodge the whip.

Although he is the only son of Prince Ning, he is despised and hated by everyone.

He thought that this dark and desperate life would continue like this.

Until one day, there were shouts and screams outside, and the strong and pungent smell of blood almost made people breathless.

He was called Young Master by a group of assassins under his father's command.

He has never enjoyed a single day of the glory and comfort that this identity has brought him, but has to bear the responsibility of thousands of blood debts and causes and consequences.

They risked their lives to get him out of Mohe.

Because of the court's pursuit, the number of people around him became fewer and fewer, and finally there was no one left to use.

That year, the Jiangnan region, where the four seasons are like spring, suffered a rare snowstorm.

He was lying in the snow, in rags and covered with wounds, looking at the falling snow. He even thought that it would be better to die like this.

The world is so big, but there is no place for him to stay, and no one who loves him.

Those assassins protected him because of his identity and the remaining hope in their hearts, not because of him as a person.

Some people are born to die, while others are born to die.

At that moment, he lost all desire to survive.

He watched his hot blood drain away, felt the pain from the stones the beggars kept throwing at him, listened to the curses coming from his ears, and thought that was the end of his life.

He closed his eyes in despair and relief, but at that moment he suddenly heard a shout: "Stop! What are you doing?"

The voice was delicate and sweeter than a silver bell.

He subconsciously wanted to see the owner of the voice, but because his eyes were filled with blood due to being hit by someone, he could only see a bloody blur.

The delicate little girl was bleeding and looked at him nervously: "Hey! Brother, are you okay?"

Whether in the dungeon in Mohe or on the way of escape, he had been subjected to countless cold stares and countless contempt, but this was the first time he had seen such sincere and caring eyes.

He wanted to say that he was fine, he was just dying.

Death was just a relief for him.

Because life is really tiring.

However, when the words came to my lips, I couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing him like that, the little girl hurriedly called out to the older boy behind her: "Cousin Changan! What are you still standing there for! Come and save him!"

Although she is a young girl, she is very imposing when she commands people.

The two men and their followers hurriedly rushed him to the hospital and barely managed to save his life.

Perhaps because she saw how poorly he was dressed, the little girl not only left him enough money to recover from his injuries before she left, but also encouraged him: "Little brother, don't be discouraged. If you have nowhere to go when you get better, you can come to my house. I promise that I won't let those people bully you again."

After taking two steps, she seemed to be still worried, and turned back to look at him and reminded him: "You must get better! By the way, my name is Shen Nanzhi, and I live in the old house of the Shen family in the south of the city. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to me."

He didn't know why, but he nodded his head despite having no will to survive. He watched her and her cousin walk out of the pharmacy. From a distance, he could even hear her and her cousin saying proudly, "See? This is what we call chivalrous! You usually just tease people and have no knowledge!"

Listening to her laughter, at that moment, he felt as if a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dark world.

It seems that life is not all pain and torture.

He finally found the meaning of living.

However, when he was able to move a little and was excitedly about to go to the Shen family's old house to find her, his uncle came.

In order to preserve the only bloodline of Prince Ning, he had replaced his identity with his own son and died.

There will be no more pursuit by the imperial court, but he has added another blood debt to his name.

By that time, my uncle had changed his appearance and become Master Huiming, a great monk in Xiangguo Temple.

It happened that the third prince's life was hanging by a thread at that time, and his father had happened to help Concubine Zhen in the past. With the help of his uncle, after Xiao Chuyun's death, he became Xiao Chuyun.

The prince was an unpopular, frail and sickly prince who had never seen the light of day in the cold palace. Apart from the old nanny beside Concubine Zhen, no one else knew what Xiao Chuyun really looked like. In addition, they were cousins, and their looks were inherited from the bone structure of the Xiao family. Moreover, as time went by, the boy gradually grew up. At first, he had to be careful to cover up, but later he had completely integrated into this identity.

He is a person who cannot stand in the light of day, with a identity that cannot stand in the light of day.

Even though he has walked step by step into the sunlight and reached his current position, he still dares not have any extravagant hopes for her.

He was fearless of life or death, but he was afraid that one day his true identity would be exposed and would implicate her.

So, even though he knew who she was and where she was, he never dared to get close to her over the years, and he only hoped that she could live a happy and worry-free life.

However, when a carriage suddenly stopped in front of him at the foot of Qingyun Mountain that day and he saw the graceful girl getting out of the carriage, he recognized her at a glance.

He was injured on purpose in order to involve the Second Prince in the conspiracy. It was actually not a serious matter. However, seeing her concern and inquiry, he agreed for some reason and followed her to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Reason told him no, but his actual actions were out of control time and time again.

At the Hot Spring Villa, in order to vent her anger and to protect the Shen family, he severely injured the Queen Mother and pulled out Zhou Yunxian ahead of time, disrupting their original plan against the Zhou family.

That's why the uncle, who was obsessed with revenge, was certain that the reason why he had not taken action for so many years was because of Shen Nanzhi.

He and a group of extreme former subordinates of Prince Ning believed that Shen Nanzhi was a beauty who brought disaster and would only hinder his determination for revenge.

They thought she deserved to die.

However, they never knew that in his eyes, she was the only one from beginning to end.

Those who hurt her, harmed her, and plotted against her are the ones who deserve to die.

Even his closest uncle.

He never felt it was right to raise the flag for revenge.

It was only because of his kindness in sacrificing his own son to save him that he tolerated him for so many years. Although he made some small moves, they were all under his control and could not cause any waves.

So, he could keep it to himself.

But the moment they planned to ambush and kill Shen Nanzhi, all the ties between them were severed.

Xiao Chuyun went over all these past events in his mind before telling them to Shen Nanzhi.

But he did not express his humble expectations of her.

He only said in a hoarse voice at the end: "This is what happened. If Miss Shen doesn't believe it..."

Before he could finish, Shen Nanzhi said firmly: "I believe it."

Xiao Chuyun was a little surprised, and he subconsciously turned to look at Shen Nanzhi.

The moment he met her clear and bright eyes that seemed to be able to illuminate all the darkness and filth in the world, he felt frightened again.

At that moment, Xiao Chuyun, who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield like a Shura in the world and never showed mercy, did not dare to look at such a pair of eyes.

His hands, tucked under his long sleeves, were trembling slightly with fear.

No matter what he thinks, it is an indisputable fact that he is the son of Prince Ning. There is a blood feud between them, and this cannot be changed.

It is understandable that Shen Nanzhi hates him.

It was because he was afraid of facing such a scene that he tried his best to restrain his emotions.

"Sorry……"

Xiao Chuyun turned his head away, and although it was difficult, he still said word by word: "My identity has caused trouble to Miss Shen. I am very sorry. If you mind..."

He could find a way to annul the marriage.

However, he just couldn't say the following words.

At this moment, Xiao Chuyun felt as if he was placed on the guillotine, waiting for him was the judge's order to execute him.

However, Shen Nanzhi was slow to speak.

For Xiao Chuyun, time has never been so torturous.
