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

There was a hint of fatigue between Emperor Shunqing's brows. Although he was wearing casual clothes, the pressure from being a person in a high position for a long time still made people feel breathless.

Eunuch Chang Xi hurriedly stepped forward and told him word for word what he had heard and seen behind the huge bush.

There were only two palace maids and eunuchs serving in Emperor Shunqing's tent. After Eunuch Chang Xi finished speaking, for a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the huge tent.

"Father, allow me to report!"

Xiao Ziyi knelt on the ground for a long time: "Shen Nanzhi has plotted against me! She thought that she could anger me and lure Eunuch Chang Xi here... It's because she is good friends with Liu Jingya and can't bear to see me associating with Liu Jingyi, so she set up such a trap..."

Shen Nanzhi, who was standing by, watched him calmly as he finished speaking, without any hurry.

When Emperor Shunqing looked over, he heard him ask: "What did you say?"

Shen Nanzhi finally spoke: "What does the emperor want me to say? Do you want me to say that I threatened the fifth prince and asked him to have sex with the concubine of the Liu family on purpose by the river, so that their people could bully me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ziyi was also stunned.

He was the one who found the place with Liu Jingyi, and he could not refute that.

but……

Before Xiao Ziyi could speak, Shen Nanzhi continued, "Although the Fifth Prince is a prince, what he did at that time was really absurd and unbearable to watch. I just reminded them to pay attention to etiquette and not lose face for the royal family. I never thought that this would anger him and he wanted to humiliate me and completely ruin me. Eunuch Chang Xi can testify for me, and I ask the emperor to make the decision for me!"

As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi also knelt down.

Seeing this, Xiao Ziyi wanted to argue, but with the witnesses present, he had no way to defend himself. Seeing that Emperor Shunqing's face was getting darker and darker, if he continued like this, it would only make Emperor Shunqing even more unhappy.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Ziyi decided to take on the responsibility.

At this time, Liu Jingyi, who was too ashamed to raise her head, knelt on the ground and said with tears in her eyes, "It's all my fault. Today, I had some disagreements with Shen Nanzhi. I originally wanted to let the Fifth Prince scare Shen Nanzhi. The Fifth Prince and I didn't really want to destroy her. It's all my fault. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Xiao Ziyi also leaned forward and said, "I was confused for a moment, it has nothing to do with Liu Jingyi, but I really just wanted to scare her and play a joke on her, I didn't really intend to do anything, I am willing to take all the blame."

Emperor Shunqing sat back in the armchair, his hand on the table turning the jade ring from time to time.

It was exactly the one that Shen Nanzhi gave to Xiaoqi before.

The more silent he was, the weirder the atmosphere became.

After all, he is his own son. If the matter is really investigated and he is convicted, not only will Xiao Ziyi lose face, but he will also be severely punished.

Of course Shen Nanzhi could see that he was weighing the pros and cons and hesitating.

If we continue like this, there is a high possibility that this matter will be concluded as "a joke".

Of course this won't work!

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi smiled sadly: "Fifth Prince, you are so light-hearted, taking a woman's innocence as a joke. I know that our Shen family is declining, my grandparents are seriously ill and cannot seek justice for me, my mother is weak, and my father doesn't love me. Just as Fifth Prince said, what should I worry about! You said that my Zhenguo Mansion is full of old, weak, sick, and widows, and there is such a useless cousin. Even if I have a husband who is the King of Zhenbei, he is so sick recently that he can't even leave the mansion. So, do I deserve to be bullied by you?"

As she spoke, Shen Nanzhi turned to look at Emperor Shunqing and said with a look of grievance, "The Emperor just told me today that he would not let anyone bully me, but the Fifth Prince bullied me to this extent. How can he put the Emperor's words in perspective?"

"I didn't, stop talking nonsense!"

Xiao Ziyi pointed at Shen Nanzhi angrily and was about to open his mouth to explain, but suddenly he heard Emperor Shunqing, who had been silent for a long time, speak up on the main seat: "Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

With just one sentence, Xiao Ziyi's momentum instantly wilted. He turned around and looked at Emperor Shunqing pleadingly, "Father, I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment..."

"Confused for a moment?"

Emperor Shunqing smiled coldly, his indifferent tone carrying a sharp anger: "I think you are simply brainless!"

Just one sound and everyone was so surprised that they subconsciously held their breath.

In the huge royal tent, it was like a silent wave that overturned the sky, surging and surging, making it hard to breathe.

Xiao Ziyi, who was in the center of the waves, couldn't even open his mouth to beg for mercy and could only kneel down.

Emperor Shunqing closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Go and receive thirty canings, then go back and reflect on your mistakes for three months. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the palace. In addition, you are also required to resign from all your current duties."

Although it was only thirty lashes of the cane, it was undoubtedly a severe punishment for a prince who had lost all face.

Moreover, not only will he be under house arrest for three months, but he will also have to hand over the power in his hands.

In three months, no one knew how the court structure had changed, and he could only watch.

"Father!"

The moment he heard the decree, Xiao Ziyi's face turned pale, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time for my mother's sake."

Concubine Liu Shufei has been assisting in managing the six palaces for many years, and she has never fought or competed for anything, which has saved Emperor Shunqing a lot of worries. In addition, they have the Liu family behind them.

Xiao Ziyi originally thought that he brought this up in order to persuade Emperor Shunqing to be soft-hearted and remind him that he also had to consider the feelings of Concubine Liu and the Liu family.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Emperor Shunqing became even more furious: "I think it's because she indulged you too much! That's why you have such a lawless character! Go down and accept your punishment. If you cause trouble again, I will not let you off easily!"

Shen Nanzhi originally had this worry, but after hearing these words, she felt a little relieved.

It seems that Emperor Shunqing is not so confident about Concubine Liu and the Liu family.

Especially some time ago, in Zhou Yunxian's case, the Liu family came forward to defend her, which obviously seemed to be supporting the Zhou family.

As a century-old family, it is impossible for them not to have thought that their close contacts with the governor would cause displeasure to the king, but they still chose to protect Zhou Yunxian. What does this show?

Not to mention that there must be some shady interests involved between them, but it at least shows that the Liu family and the Zhou family have a close relationship.

This naturally displeased Emperor Shunqing.

At this point, although he seemed to be acting on behalf of Shen Nanzhi and severely punishing Xiao Ziyi, he was actually also trying to warn the Liu family.

Since Xiao Ziyi enjoyed the glory and support brought to him by the Liu family, he also had to endure the dissatisfaction and pressure from the king caused by the Liu family.

Shen Nanzhi thought of this, so she made this decision the moment she saw Xiao Ziyi by the river.

Otherwise, she really had no confidence that Emperor Shunqing would severely punish his son because of her.

Just a moment ago, Shen Nanzhi didn't dare to make any guarantees and was even a little worried.

After all, the king's mind is hard to predict.

But now it seems that she made the right bet.

Only then did Shen Nanzhi breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ziyi just glared at Shen Nanzhi fiercely, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only accept the order: "Yes, your son will obey."

However, he did not retreat immediately, but looked at Liu Jingyi beside him.

At this point, Xiao Ziyi wanted to just throw the jar into the air and ask Emperor Shunqing to point Liu Jingyi to him.

However, he did not expect that before he could open his mouth, he saw Emperor Shunqing looking at Liu Jingya with a cold expression and said, "What kind of person is this raised by the Liu family? Not only does she have no sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame, she also instigated the prince to seduce the prince. Come, drag her away..."

The word "beaten to death" came out of his mouth.

Liu Jingyi was completely dumbfounded and collapsed to the ground, unable to even utter a sound to beg for mercy.

It was Xiao Ziyi who interrupted Emperor Shunqing and begged, "Father! I really like Jingyi. It's all my fault. Please spare her life. She is innocent. Father... I only ask you for this one thing. I am willing to take responsibility for anything else. Father..."

Xiao Ziyi knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Liu Jingyi finally reacted. She knelt down and walked to Xiao Ziyi's side, shaking her head and crying, "Your Highness, it's my fault. Please don't let Your Highness suffer for me. I don't deserve to die. Your Highness, please take good care of yourself. I am willing to die!"

After hearing what she said, Xiao Ziyi became even more unwilling.

The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other, causing the wrinkles between Emperor Shunqing's brows to deepen a little.

"Shut up!"

He raised his hand to rub his temple, frowned and looked at Xiao Ziyi, and said with a tone of regret: "Why did I give birth to such a useless thing like you! You sacrificed yourself for a little love!"

For the first time, the king, who was high and mighty, revealed the helplessness and fragility of an old father in front of others.

Xiao Ziyi had no time to argue with Shen Nanzhi at this moment, and immediately kowtowed: "It is your son who has disappointed your father! Your son is guilty!"

Emperor Shunqing turned the jade ring and said, "If it was before, I wouldn't mind fulfilling your wish, but now that things have come to this, I must give the Shen family an explanation. Since she has no sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame, I will temporarily send her to Yunshui Temple to practice for three years. If she can repent, I will bring up this matter again."

Three years...

There are so many beauties in Beijing. Who can guarantee that Xiao Ziyi will remain loyal to Liu Jingyi for three years?

Thinking of this, Liu Jingyi's face turned pale.

But compared to dragging her away and beating her to death just now, this result is much better.

Moreover, according to what Emperor Shunqing said, there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

Xiao Ziyi and Liu Jingyi looked at each other, and dared not say anything more for fear of angering the emperor, so they had to accept the punishment.

Emperor Shunqing waved his hand and said, "I am tired. Please all leave."

Xiao Ziyi and Liu Jingyi kowtowed quickly to express their gratitude, and when they turned to leave, they both glared at Shen Nanzhi viciously in tacit understanding.

The hatred in those eyes seemed tangible.

Shen Nanzhi seemed as if he didn't see it.

They had plotted against her and Liu Jingya time and again, and this was what they deserved.

And, that’s still light.

The feud between Shen Nanzhi and them is not over yet.

However, at least for the next three months, Shen Nanzhi can put them aside and concentrate on other plans.

There is no need to worry about them causing trouble again, as what Emperor Shunqing said just now has made it very clear.

If they dare to cause trouble again after reflecting on their mistakes, the phrase "I will not let them off lightly" will not be just talk.

Of course, the same applies to Shen Nanzhi.

In the short term, she could not do anything against these two people because they were too suspicious. Moreover, once someone got hold of the evidence, it would only be disadvantageous to her in front of Emperor Shunqing.

Seeing that Emperor Shunqing had no other instructions, Shen Nanzhi was about to take Ye Qingwan with him to pay her respects and leave, but she heard Emperor Shunqing say, "Shen's girl."

Shen Nanzhi quickly raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Shunqing gave the jade ring to Eunuch Chang Xi, who then returned it to Shen Nanzhi.

His tone was cold but full of oppression: "Although Xiao Ziyi was wrong, he also received the punishment he deserved. I don't want anyone to mention this matter again."

Shen Nanzhi bowed and said, "Yes, this concerns my reputation, I will never reveal a single word to anyone, and I will also manage my subordinates well."

Emperor Shunqing nodded and said, "Step back."

Needless to say, no one would dare to spread this matter, but Emperor Shunqing specifically mentioned Shen Nanzhi's words, and he was not referring to just this.

Even though it was clearly Xiao Ziyi and Liu Jingyi's fault, and Emperor Shunqing wanted to punish the Liu family, maintain the dignity of the royal family, and give an explanation to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he weighed the pros and cons several times before imposing such a heavy punishment.

However, he still felt dissatisfied with Shen Nanzhi because of this.

However, Shen Nanzhi had already anticipated this.

She and Ye Qingwan exchanged greetings, then asked Shun and Shunyi to help the still unconscious Shen Changan out of the tent.

As for Shen Changan, Eunuch Chang Xi explained at the beginning that he was drunk and fainted. Emperor Shunqing did not want to have another person disrupt the situation, so he did not let anyone wake him up.

So, Shen Changan slept from beginning to end.

He opened his eyes only after Shunhe and Shunyi carried him back to the Shen family tent.

The alcohol had not yet worn off. Seeing Shen Nanzhi standing in front of him, Shen Changan murmured, "Sister Zhizhi, is the fish hooked? Hey, where's Qingwan?"

As he spoke, he tried to open his eyes, as if he had just realized that they were no longer by the river. Looking at the sheep-horn lanterns swaying back and forth in front of him, Shen Changan asked in confusion: "Are we back? Aren't we going to fish anymore?"

Shen Nanzhi rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and suddenly had the urge to knock him out again.

She asked someone to bring some sobering soup and forced Shen Changan to take it. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, she saw Shen Changan's eyes gradually regain clarity.

"Hey? Aren't we by the river? Sister Zhizhi, why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Nanzhi looked at Shen Changan coldly, and that look made Shen Changan feel creepy.

"Cousin Changan, if you drink again next time, I will kick you to Yunjiang!"

Shen Changan was confused: "What's wrong with me drinking a little wine? A little drink can soothe your mood, and a beautiful view goes well with a good wine, isn't that just right?"

Shen Nanzhi gritted her teeth and said, "It's very good, it's even good enough to be reported to the Emperor!"

Until now, Shen Changan has been kept in the dark. Seeing his nonchalant look, Shen Nanzhi felt that he might have been sold out without even knowing it.

She was so angry that she had a headache and was about to ask Shunyi to tell him in detail about the danger today, but she saw Mo Yun stealthily poking his head in from in front of the curtain.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi, Mo Yun smiled and winked at Shen Nanzhi.

That look seemed like he deserved a beating.

"Miss Shen, there is a letter for you."
