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

The light lip balm that fell on Xiao Chuyun's lips seemed to carry a hint of spring color.

Facing his smiling eyes again, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but glare at him and said coquettishly, "Who wants to marry you?"

It was originally a joke from Shen Nanzhi, but unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyun's handsome brows were slightly frowned, and the disappointment in his eyes was clearly visible.

"It turns out that Miss Shen's previous words were really just to comfort me. I was just expecting too much."

His voice sounded extremely lonely.

After saying this, he put down his teacup and was about to stand up. His face, which was already a little haggard due to running around for days, now looked even paler.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi's heart softened instantly.

She almost subconsciously reached out and grabbed Xiao Chuyun's sleeve, and hurriedly explained: "My Lord, I was just joking with you, how could I really not marry you."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chuyun's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Shen Nanzhi was about to nod, but he saw him stagger, as if he was a little unsteady.

Shen Nanzhi quickly stood up and held his arm.

Only then did she notice that this was completely different from the impression she had of Xiao Chuyun, who was always dressed neatly and meticulously.

The Xiao Chuyun in front of him was wearing a tight black brocade robe with narrow sleeves. The clothes were gray and even had mud spots on the corners. Even if he did not go to the hinterland of Yuzhou, but only went to Ganzhou, it was still far enough!

To make a round trip in such a short time and to make all the plans, one can imagine how he had to travel day and night, even without sleep.

The reason why he worked so hard was for himself and the Shen family.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi became even more worried, and even his tone softened a bit: "Prince, what's wrong? Are you too tired from running back and forth and need to rest?"

Xiao Chuyun held her hand and said softly, "I am a little tired. I was afraid that you would worry, so I thought of coming here as soon as possible. I can't go back to Zhenbei Palace now. I originally planned to find an inn to rest after reporting to you that I was safe. I didn't expect that such a weak body would not be able to do it. Miss Shen laughed at me."

As he said this, without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to speak, he said with some shame: "I can leave after a short rest. I don't want to embarrass you."

It was indeed inappropriate to leave Xiao Chuyun in her boudoir, but in his current state, how could Shen Nanzhi bear to chase him to the inn to rest? She was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing what Xiao Chuyun said, he was still considering himself. Shen Nanzhi's heart softened and she hurriedly said, "It's okay, you can rest here, anyway..."

At this point, she lowered her eyes, suppressed the panic in her eyes due to embarrassment, and said calmly: "There are no outsiders around. I will send the maids away later. You can rest in peace."

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun hesitated: "Will it be too difficult for you? After all, this is a boudoir. If I just rest here..."

Shen Nanzhi supported his hand and walked into the inner room while persuading him, "It's okay. I'll ask Qiuyu and the others to boil some hot water and send it to the bathroom, and then ask Moyun to bring you some clean clothes. After you wash up, you can rest assured."

Xiao Chuyun was already overjoyed in his heart, but with a hint of worry on his face, he said, "I should still be on my way back to Beijing at this time. I need to find a place to hide first. You don't need to bother covering for me like this."

After he reminded her of this, Shen Nanzhi remembered that Xiao Chuyun rushed back to see her much faster than the fake Xiao Chuyun who was with the eunuch in Yuzhou. During this period, he absolutely could not show up in Kyoto and could only hide.

Even if we put aside the fact that they are about to get married, just because he has worked so hard for the Shen family, Shen Nanzhi cannot let him drag his body in this state and take the great risk to find a place to hide outside.

She pulled Xiao Chuyun to sit on the armchair where she usually liked to drink tea, and said gently but firmly: "Don't worry, you can sleep here first, and later I will ask the secret guards to vacate a room for you in the mansion and you can live there quietly."

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun pondered for a moment, then took out a thin mask from his arms: "The Shen family is already at the center of the storm, so it will also attract attention. How about I pretend to be Miss Shen's secret guard and follow behind you?"

As he spoke, he spread the mask in front of Shen Nanzhi, put it on his face, showed it to Shen Nanzhi, and then took it off, patiently explaining: "This mask can only last for two hours at most, and then it can be used after being soaked in special potions, but it is enough to stay with Miss Shen, okay?"

He has considered everything so carefully, there is no way Shen Nanzhi could say anything bad.

After meeting his smiling eyes, Shen Nanzhi even had the illusion that he was being tricked.

Before she could think about it, she saw Xiao Chuyun's brows slightly frowned, and his slender jade-like fingers suddenly clenched and placed on his knees. His cold jade-like face was slightly wrinkled, as if he was silently enduring great pain.

Shen Nanzhi's heart tightened, and he asked with concern: "My Lord, what's wrong? Is your leg disease acting up?"

Seeing Xiao Chuyun nod gently, Shen Nanzhi couldn't think of anything else, "You take a rest first, I'll ask Pianpian to boil medicine for you right away."

Having said that, Shen Nanzhi quickly turned around and was about to look for someone, but unexpectedly Xiao Chuyun grabbed her waist from behind.

Shen Nanzhi's body suddenly froze.

Xiao Chuyun sat on the rattan chair, put his hands around her from behind and hugged her. At the same time, his cheek was pressed against Shen Nanzhi's back, and he rubbed her lower back with his forehead, and said faintly: "We have been apart for so long, Miss Shen, do you miss me?"

The clothes are thin in spring, but Xiao Chuyun's body temperature and his breath are extremely hot.

The warm breath sprayed on Shen Nanzhi's back, making her waist feel as if it was burned, and it spread all the way up, finally appearing on her cheek.

Shen Nanzhi was a little embarrassed, but still said truthfully: "Yes."

However, Xiao Chuyun had no intention of letting her go easily. He nuzzled her waist and asked, "How much do you miss me?"

How could Shen Nanzhi begin to speak after hearing this?

After all, she was an innocent girl, and the dogmas and etiquette she had learned from childhood to university made her at a loss as to how to respond for a moment.

But Xiao Chuyun didn't seem to dwell on this issue. Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, Xiao Chuyun had already said, "I miss Miss Shen, too."

After saying that, he added: "I really want to, I really want to."

The palm he placed on her heart was burning hot, and the words he spoke made Shen Nanzhi blush.

Especially the last syllable, which is clearly just the word "want", but it seems to carry a lot of charming and ambiguous meanings.

Shen Nanzhi was still worried about his leg disease a moment ago, but the next moment she heard such passionate love words.

Her face turned red with shame, and she no longer cared about whether she had been tricked before.

"Your health is the most important thing. I'll ask Pian Pian to boil some medicine for you. After you wash up, you can rest first. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you have rested well..."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Chuyun's response, Shen Nanzhi struggled out of his arms and ran out in a hurry.

She fled with her back to Xiao Chuyun, and naturally did not see the triumphant smile on Xiao Chuyun's lips.

Shen Nanzhi didn't even have to go out of her way to look for her, she knew that Lu Pianpian must be waiting not far outside the courtyard. After all, she had sent away all the maids, but she was still worried that if Shen Nanzhi needed anything, there would be no one to take care of her outside.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi's red cheeks, Lu Pianpian asked in surprise: "Sister Zhizhi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

After all, she was just a child, so Shen Nanzhi didn't have the nerve to explain to her. She just waved her hand and explained her purpose. After sending Lu Pianpian to decoct medicine for Xiao Chuyun, Shen Nanzhi called Qiuyu, who was also waiting not far away, and asked Qiuyu to ask someone to boil hot water and send it to the purification room, and then sent her out of the yard.

After giving these instructions, Shen Nanzhi remembered that she had not yet asked Xiao Chuyun whether he was hungry or whether he had eaten well on the way.

The blush on her face had not yet faded, but Pianpian and Qiuyu, who knew about this, were busy with other things, so Shen Nanzhi had to bite the bullet and ask Xiao Chuyun if he wanted to eat something so that she could ask the small kitchen to prepare it in her name.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Chuyun undressing, and a large area of ​​blood was exposed under his almost open collar.

The glaring red made Shen Nanzhi's heart tremble at first sight.

Xiao Chuyun was injured!

They were so close just now, but she didn't even notice!

For a moment, out of worry and self-blame, Shen Nanzhi didn't even care about the differences between men and women, and followed in in one step.

"My Lord, what's going on?"

The tall and graceful Xiao Chuyun stood in front of the armchair. He had already untied his belt and had just taken off half of his clothes, but had not had time to take them off completely.

When he saw Shen Nanzhi, his fingertips paused for a moment, and he quickly put his five fingers together to close the half-open collar, as if he was afraid of being seen by Shen Nanzhi.

But Shen Nanzhi had already seen it.

Xiao Chuyun just smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Otherwise, Lin Hongrui wouldn't be able to let down his guard completely."

He said it lightly, but judging from the bright red he saw just now, how could it be just a minor injury?

Thinking that he wanted to quietly replace the herbs while she was away, Shen Nanzhi's eyes became sore: "Why did the prince hide it from me?"

What kind of danger could hurt Xiao Chuyun? Shen Nanzhi felt scared just thinking about it.

Xiao Chuyun said calmly: "It's nothing, at least this trip is worth it."

The result alone is worth it, but the process is really thrilling.

"Let me change the medicine for the prince."

Shen Nanzhi took the small porcelain bottle and wanted to open Xiao Chuyun's collar, but he grabbed her wrist instead. Shen Nanzhi saw her own reflection in his ink-black eyes, as well as the worry in his eyes.

I only heard Xiao Chuyun gently say: "Fortunately, the injury is in the front. I can do it myself. Don't bother Miss Shen. It will hurt."

What kind of talk is that? No matter how big the wound is, it will definitely hurt if so much blood is lost.

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi was slightly startled. He was about to tease Xiao Chuyun that the dignified King of Zhenbei was still afraid of pain, but the next moment he heard Xiao Chuyun smiling and saying gently and tenderly: "I'm afraid Miss Shen will feel distressed."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

The blush that had just faded from Shen Nanzhi's face quickly climbed up her cheeks again.

He's still teasing her at this time.

Although it was indeed the truth, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but glare at him and said coquettishly: "Who feels sorry for me!"

Xiao Chuyun's big hand wrapped around Shen Nanzhi's hand, his bony fingers caressed Shen Nanzhi's fingertips, and he said lovingly, "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if you don't feel sorry for her. It's enough that I feel sorry for Miss Shen."

As he spoke, he put his arm around Shen Nanzhi's waist, leaned over and rubbed Shen Nanzhi's neck: "The smell of blood is too strong, I'm afraid it will hurt your eyes, I'll do it myself."

His breath was hot, and it fell on Shen Nanzhi's neck, undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire on her cheeks.

But this fire was not as hot as Xiao Chuyun's words.

Shen Nanzhi's heart tightened and she wanted to say something, but Xiao Chuyun had already gently loosened her waist, turned around, and started changing the dressing with his back to her.

Seeing that he really didn't want her to see those wounds, Shen Nanzhi didn't force him, but she also felt that it would not be appropriate for her to leave like this.

Knowing that Xiao Chuyun must be enduring the pain while changing the dressing, Shen Nanzhi thought about it and decided to find a topic to chat with him, so as to divert Xiao Chuyun's attention, which would also help him relieve some of the pain.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi did just that.

She turned her back to him and asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, I have always wondered, what kind of leverage does the Emperor have on Lin Hongrui that would make him abandon his wife and daughter and plot against the *** Mansion and the Zhou Family?"

However, Xiao Chuyun behind him did not respond.

Just now, Shen Nanzhi could hear the sound of his clothes rubbing against each other, and guessed that he had taken off his coat.

But there was no sound at this moment.

Even his breathing seemed to be held deliberately.

Shen Nanzhi was just wondering when he heard Xiao Chuyun, who had been silent for a moment, say, "Because he is similar to Jiang Shiyan."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi was suddenly stunned.

How could Shen Nanzhi not be surprised when she suddenly heard Jiang Shiyan's name from Xiao Chuyun's place?

In particular, this is related to Lin Hongrui, the imperial consort of the current emperor.

Perhaps he took her feelings into consideration, so Xiao Chuyun's tone slowed down, and he continued, "Lin Hongrui kept a concubine. The concubine was originally a maid in his room, named Liu'er. Because of her low status, she was not tolerated by Mrs. Lin. In addition, the queen later intended to choose him as a prince consort. Mrs. Lin didn't want the news to leak out and affect Lin Hongrui's reputation, so she sold the maid. In the end, he found the maid again and kept her as a concubine. She even gave birth to a son for him."

After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi understood.

Liu'er and her child are Lin Hongrui's weak points.

Xiao Chuyun paused, and then said: "However, if you talk about it in detail, there are some differences between Lin Hongrui and Jiang Shiyan."

At the very least, Jiang Shiyan gave up Zhao Wan and her son and schemed against the Shen family for wealth and power.

However, Lin Hongrui was forced to let down Liu'er. To Liu'er and her son, he was a man of affection and righteousness, but to *** and Lin Lanyin...what did this mean?

Especially when thinking of Lin Lanyin, Shen Nanzhi felt complicated.

But soon, Shen Nanzhi suddenly thought of a key point.
