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

Seeing Liu Jingya like this, Shen Nanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She no longer had to suffer the torment of conscience when facing Liu Jingya.

The family cried, laughed, and finally, after everyone had adjusted their emotions, they had dinner together. Of course, to the outside world, everyone remained the same.

It’s just that I was really sad before, but now I’m just acting.

After eating and drinking, Shen Nanzhi sent Liu Jingya home before returning to his own yard.

Xiao Chuyun still hasn't come back.

But after Shen Nanzhi entered the room, Lu Pianpian slipped a secret letter to Shen Nanzhi, which was left by Xiao Chuyun.

After reading the secret letter, Shen Nanzhi realized that Xiao Chuyun had received the news early in the morning. Emperor Shunqing had contacted her and had also sent someone to convey the decree to Xiao Chuyun, and also brought a secret decree to Xiao Chuyun. At the same time, someone was sent to convey the secret decree to Xiao Qian'an as soon as possible. Perhaps it was a decision related to the Zhou family. Xiao Chuyun was afraid that the substitute over there would be exposed, and considering that Xiao Qian'an had also gone to Yuzhou, the substitute would be more than enough to deal with the eunuch Liu Shouxin, but if he met Xiao Qian'an on the way back to Beijing, he would be afraid of revealing his flaws.

Although Xiao Chuyun did not say it explicitly in the secret letter, Shen Nanzhi could already guess Xiao Chuyun's intention.

This is a great opportunity to get rid of Xiao Qian'an!

As long as it is used properly, the disaster can be diverted, just like Lin Hongrui did, and transferred to the Zhou family, completely exonerating Xiao Chuyun himself.

Anyway, the Zhou family is already preparing to rebel, so it doesn't matter if they take one more blame.

As long as Xiao Qian'an falls, the court structure will inevitably be reshuffled.

Emperor Shunqing had less and less time to deal with the Shen family and Xiao Chuyun.

Moreover, the fifth prince Xiao Ziyi was also dead, and the second prince had already lost the emperor's favor. At that time, the eldest prince, who was not favored by Emperor Shunqing, would have a greater chance of winning.

This is a good thing for both the Shen family and the Zhenbei Palace.

Xiao Chuyun has to make this trip.

The news was only delivered to Xiao Chuyun at midnight yesterday. The situation was urgent and no time was lost. Shen Nanzhi had just fallen asleep at that time, and he didn't want to disturb Shen Nanzhi. After leaving a note for Lu Pianpian, he immediately left.

After Shen Nanzhi read the secret letter, she noticed that Lu Pianpian had dark circles under her eyes and complained: "Sister Zhizhi, children won't grow tall if they don't get enough sleep!"

Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then I'll ask the kitchen to make you some pigeon soup. Pair it with some fresh asparagus tips, and it will taste delicious."

When she heard about the delicious food, Lu Pianpian's eyes lit up, "Sister Zhizhi loves me the most!"

At this point, she did not forget to complain about Qiuyu: "Sister Qiuyu made me a bowl of plain noodles tonight, and she only put one poached egg in it."

Qiu Yu cried out in injustice and pointed at Lu Pianpian's increasingly round belly: "Girl, look at this greedy girl. She has gained a lot of weight in the few days since we left. It will be bad for her health if she continues like this. The doctor knows her physical condition best, but she can't control it. I'm doing this for her own good."

After hearing this, Lu Pianpian, who was exposed, felt a little embarrassed. She chuckled, "There is no circle of flesh at all. It's just grown a little bit. Really only a little bit. It's getting late. Sister Zhizhi, I'm going to rest."

She was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would go back on his word and even make her the pigeon soup, so she ran away as fast as she could.

Shen Nanzhi sighed helplessly.

She took the secret letter from Xiao Chuyun and went into the inner room. She read it carefully again before asking Qiuyu to bring a brazier and burn it.

These things are evidence and leverage. Shen Nanzhi certainly cannot allow such a hidden danger to remain.

It drizzled that night and Shen Nanzhi tossed and turned in bed.

After finally falling asleep, it was already bright outside and the Shen family had started their busy day.

Shen Nanzhi's wedding date is approaching. Although intensive preparations have been made before, there are so many things to prepare that no one dares to be careless.

As soon as Shen Nanzhi closed her eyes, she was awakened by Shen Yanxin and Liu Xiuzhu. They brought the embroiderers from their own tailor shop to measure Shen Nanzhi's size again, so as to sew a wedding dress for her in the shortest time possible.

Shen Yanxin wanted to pull Shen Nanzhi to look at the patterns of the wedding gowns, but Shen Nanzhi, who could no longer open her eyes, waved her hands and said, "They all look the same to me. Just help me look, mother."

She just wanted to sleep now.

Shen Yanxin couldn't help but reach out and tap Shen Nanzhi's forehead: "Child, even if you didn't embroider the wedding dress yourself, you should at least choose the pattern and style yourself, choose the one you like. How can you let your mother and aunt do it for you?"

Of course, seeing that Shen Nanzhi was really listless, Shen Yanxin didn't make things difficult for her: "I'll leave these tricks here, you take a nap first, and then get up later and have someone send them over when you've picked them out."

Shen Nanzhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Shen Yanxin and Liu Xiuzhu smiled at each other, then turned around and left.

They all left, but Shen Nanzhi still couldn't lie back in bed as she wished.

Because someone came to visit.

If it was someone else, Shen Nanzhi would have sent him away directly, but when he heard that it was Wen Lanxiang from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, Shen Nanzhi's eyes, which had been unable to open, suddenly lit up.

If it were in the past, I wouldn't have to meet her. After all, I had no interaction with her and could have let my aunt and the others deal with it.

But at the Autumn Hunting Ground, the information Wen Lanxiang revealed to her helped her a lot.

Otherwise, Shen Nanzhi would not have realized that there was something wrong with Ye Kunshan so quickly, and would not have thought that Emperor Shunqing would set up a killing move waiting for them on their way back to Beijing.

Although Shen Nanzhi's preparations were thorough and with so many secret guards escorting them, it might not be impossible for her and Shen Changan to escape from the assassin's hands, but with the arrangements made by Emperor Shunqing at that time, the Shen family's secret guards would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Moreover, even if they broke out of the siege and returned to the capital, they might not be able to dispel Emperor Shunqing's murderous intentions. After all, the news of Lin Hongrui's accident had not yet been reported.

Therefore, Shen Nanzhi had to accept this favor.

Moreover, Shen Huaishu returned the jade pendant that the Yong'an Earl's Mansion requested for the marriage exchange. At that time, Wen Lanxiang did not react at all. But now she suddenly came to the house, which must be something important.

Shen Nanzhi's sleepiness disappeared instantly and he quickly asked someone to come in.

Although Shen Nanzhi had many guesses in his mind, he only reacted when he saw Wen Lanxiang riding in a sedan chair all the way to his yard, and even did not get out of the sedan chair at the gate of the yard, and asked someone to carry her in, saying that she had sprained her ankle and was unable to move.

As the sedan chair landed, Shen Nanzhi sent away all the maids who were serving outside the courtyard.

When there were only her and Qiuyu in the huge courtyard, Shen Nanzhi walked up to the sedan chair and saw Wen Lanxiang slowly opening the curtain of the sedan chair.

Sure enough, lying next to her was an old woman with slightly gray hair, who was nearly fifty years old. Even though she was wearing coarse linen clothes, she looked noble.

"Miss Shen, my aunt has had a headache recently and the pain is unbearable. I heard that Miss Shen has a little miracle doctor here. Please help her."

As she spoke, Wen Lanxiang had already walked out of the sedan chair and bent down to help the old woman up.

Although she was called her aunt, the old woman's appearance was clearly similar to that of Xiao Fang, the commander of the Imperial Guard. Adding to the agreement she had made with Xiao Fang yesterday, how could Shen Nanzhi not understand?

This should be Xiao Fang's mother, the eldest lady of the Xiao family.

But since Wen Lanxiang said so, Shen Nanzhi also said: "Since you are Miss Wen's aunt, I naturally cannot stand idly by. Please come in and talk."

As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi led the two into the house and asked Qiuyu to wake up Lu Pianpian who was still sleeping with her head covered.

Fortunately, although Lu Pianpian's external injuries have healed, the scabs on the wounds have not completely fallen off, which looks particularly creepy to outsiders, which is consistent with the serious injuries Shen Nanzhi mentioned before.

Moreover, Qiuyu informed Lu Pianpian in advance, so when Lu Pianpian came, she deliberately wrapped her head twice, and she didn't know what she used to cover her face. Her originally rosy cheeks now looked pale and weak.

Lu Pianpian greeted the two men breathlessly.

Even the eldest lady of the Xiao family couldn't help but said distressedly: "If the little doctor is really suffering, I can come over in a few days, but please don't let the little doctor take risks for me."

Hearing this, Lu Pianpian waved her hand: "Fortunately, I can still hold on... Let me take your pulse first."

This acting skill almost stunned Shen Nanzhi and Qiu Yu.

Lu Pianpian seemed not to notice their reactions. After "forcing herself to take a breath" to check the pulse of Madam Xiao, she frowned and said, "It's not that it can't be cured, it just takes some time."

At this point, Lu Pianpian pretended to be silent for a long time. After everyone's heart was in their throats, she finally said, "I will give you an acupuncture first. After you go back, take the medicine according to my prescription for two days, and then we will see how it works."

Of course, Madam Xiao had no objection. After consulting Shen Nanzhi's opinion, she followed Lu Pianpian to her room and asked Lu Pianpian to give her acupuncture.

When Madam Xiao went over, Wen Lanxiang handed her over to Qiuyu to support her, and she stayed behind.

"Miss Shen."

Wen Lanxiang stood up and bowed to Shen Nanzhi with an apologetic look: "Thank you for what you did today."

Shen Nanzhi raised her hand and poured her a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Miss Wen, you are too polite. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

Shen Nanzhi thought that Xiao Fang would send Madam Xiao over, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, and through Wen Lanxiang.

Even Emperor Shunqing knew that Shen Huaishu had rejected the marriage proposal from the Wen family.

Moreover, because of the previous case of Wen Lanyuan and her daughter, Wen Lanxiang did not hesitate to put herself in the game. Although she was finally rescued by the Yong'an Earl's Mansion and did not receive any punishment, it was still bad for her reputation.

If she continues to associate with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that rejected her, people will more and more think that she is asking for trouble, which will be even worse for her reputation.

Wen Lanxiang naturally thought of Shen Nanzhi's doubts.

She held the teacup and smiled slightly: "For me, as long as I can survive and live well, what does fame mean?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frowned: "Didn't you say before that the current Yong'an Earl's Mansion is pretty good?"

Wen Lanxiang took a sip of hot tea and said, "It's pretty good. After the mother and daughter were uprooted, everyone was very polite to me. I also temporarily took over the housekeeper's power of the Wen family, but... Miss Shen..."

At this point, Wen Lanxiang suddenly looked up at Shen Nanzhi, a little disappointed and helpless, and said: "After all, I am a girl. In the eyes of the Wen family, my greatest value to them is to marry a man who can help the Wen family in the future. My mother is not here, and my father doesn't love me. This identity is the only basis for me to establish myself in the Wen family. It sounds ridiculous, but it is also the truth."

Wen Lanxiang laughed at herself and said, "But... after what happened before, who would dare to marry a girl like me?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi sighed helplessly: "Most secular people are like this, but I think Miss Wen is very good, brave, resourceful, and decisive. I admire her very much, and I believe Miss Wen deserves better."

Hearing this, Wen Lanxiang burst out laughing: "Then do you think your uncle would be interested in a girl like me?"

This question stumped Shen Nanzhi.

She did ask her uncle this question at the time.

Shen Huaishu had no other opinion about Wen Lanxiang's previous actions. He believed that one should not advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering. However, he did not say that he had any other thoughts about Wen Lanxiang.

Otherwise, the marriage might have been settled at the beginning.

Shen Nanzhi hesitated for only a moment, and then Wen Lanxiang smiled and said, "I was just joking. How could someone like me who crawled out of a mud pit dream of being as brilliant and elegant as Master Shen?"

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Shen Nanzhi was about to explain, but Wen Lanxiang said, "To be honest, I was the one who took the initiative to find Commander Xiao."

Wen Lanxiang took a sip of hot tea and continued after a while, "A few days ago, my father sent a matchmaker to help me find a wife. One of them was the unruly second son of the second branch of the Xiao family. I couldn't refuse, so I had to bite the bullet and go to see him. It was at that time that I happened to learn that the eldest lady of the Xiao family was suffering from a headache and didn't have much time left. At that time, I thought of Miss Shen."

At this point, Wen Lanxiang subconsciously turned her head and glanced out the window in the direction of Lu Pianpian: "Actually, I have always been paying attention to Miss Shen, so I have heard a little about this little genius doctor beside Miss Shen. At that time, I did want Madam Xiao to get me back the marriage with the second branch of the Xiao family out of selfish motives, but it was also for Miss Shen's consideration."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi paused holding the teacup. The moment he met Wen Lanxiang's open eyes, Shen Nanzhi instantly understood.

At the Autumn Hunting Ground, since Wen Lanxiang could see something strange in the conversation between Ye Kunshan and a little eunuch, she could naturally also sense the predicament of the Shen family.

She knew that doing a huge favor to the commander of the Imperial Guard, Xiao Fang, would be very important to the Shen family, so she seized this opportunity.

However, she was smart and cautious enough, and did not rashly use her own name or previous connections to introduce him. Instead, she asked Xiao Fang to test Shen Nanzhi's attitude first.

After getting Shen Nanzhi's consent, she came forward and quietly brought the eldest lady of the Xiao family over.

Although she had her own calculations involved, these calculations did not harm the interests of the Shen family and were even good for both parties.

At this point, Shen Nanzhi's impression of Wen Lanxiang became even better.

Unexpectedly, Wen Lanxiang suddenly asked: "Miss Shen, do you know why I should pay special attention to Miss Shen?"
