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

Whether in Shen Nanzhi's impression or the information she pieced together in her dreams, there was no special news about the Xie family, and they should be safe and sound.

What Shen Nanzhi is worried about right now is that Xiao Qian'an is not dead.

Good people don't live long, but disasters last for thousands of years.

Although the news has been passed back, Shen Nanzhi always feels that Xiao Qian'an, who has the memories of his past life, will not die so easily.

She was worried that Xiao Qian'an was faking his death just like Shen Chang'an.

However, Shen Changan had no choice but to do this because of the conspiracy and persecution of Emperor Shunqing. It is not impossible that Xiao Qian'an wanted to confuse Yuzhou Mu Zhou Zhengyong and win by surprise.

Whether it is true or not, Shen Nanzhi can only wait and see, or wait to see Xiao Qian'an's body being sent back.

Either wait until the Zhou family is defeated, then Xiao Qian'an will no longer have the need to fake his death and will inevitably show up.

Yuzhou and Xiao Qian'an both have news, and Xiao Chuyun should also be sending news back soon.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't wait to pull Liu Jingya home, but before she got on the carriage, she was stopped by someone.

"Miss Shen, my daughter has something important to discuss with you. Please go to Yaming Pavilion to discuss it."

Then, the man introduced himself: "My daughter is the fourth daughter of the Xie family."

Fourth Miss Xie, Xie Wanting?

Shen Nanzhi didn't know what she meant by coming to him at this time. Looking at the visiting card from the Xie family handed over by the servant, Shen Nanzhi didn't take it. He just said coldly: "I have something else to do. If Fourth Miss Xie has anything important, you can come to the Zhenguo Mansion to find me."

As she spoke, Shen Nanzhi turned around and was about to leave, but the moment she raised her eyes, she caught a glimpse of several quickly hiding figures and several carriages not far away. The coachmen's eyes were all on her. As soon as Shen Nanzhi raised her head, they quickly avoided them and looked elsewhere.

The only ones who entered the palace from Zhengyang Gate today were the women of the Shen and Liu families, and outside Zhengyang Gate there were only carriages from their two families.

The Shen family's carriage was still behind the Liu family's carriage, so it shouldn't have been so conspicuous. The way those people dodged so quickly showed that they were feeling guilty.

This is someone's targeting.

Just as she was thinking, the servant of the Xie family had not left yet. He continued to bow and said to Shen Nanzhi, "My daughter said that what happened before was her fault. She has already known her mistake and does not want the Shen and Xie families to become enemies because of her. She wants to find a chance to make amends to Miss Shen. She heard that Miss Shen's mother is in a weak body and even Miss Lu is helpless. Above Miss Lu, only Master Huikong, who is rumored to have passed away and saved people with medicine, may have a way. That's why she specially sent people to find him. This time she is looking for Miss Shen, and the news she wants to bring to Miss Shen is also related to Master Huikong. If Miss Shen is not interested, she will have to miss it."

Master Huikong.

These four words alone were enough to attract Shen Nanzhi's attention.

Shen Nanzhi's toes, which were about to step onto the carriage, paused.

She turned and looked at the boy.

But the servant looked at her sincerely and said, "Everything I said is true. This place is not far from Yaming Pavilion. You can go and see if it is true or not."

Shen Nanzhi put down his hand that was already on the carriage, "Okay, go tell your daughter, I'll send my aunt and the others back first, and I'll be there soon."

Seeing Shen Nanzhi agreed, the man nodded quickly, "Okay, I will reply right away, but please hurry up, Miss Shen. According to what my lady said, the message is a bit urgent, and I am afraid that if it is delayed any longer, I will miss the master."

As he spoke, he took out a small brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi opened it casually and saw a string of Buddhist beads inside.

There are many rumors about Master Huikong circulating in Da Qi, whether it is about him practicing medicine to save the world, giving lectures, or about him sitting in meditation and ascending to heaven, but no matter which one it is, there is always a description of the red sandalwood Buddhist beads he usually held in his hand.

Unlike the Buddhist beads of ordinary monks, the Buddhist beads used by Master Huikong are made of rosewood, but they exude a hint of agarwood fragrance. Legend has it that this is because an ordinary Buddhist bead bracelet has fourteen beads, symbolizing that Guanyin Bodhisattva shares the same compassion as all sentient beings in the ten directions, the six realms, and so on, allowing all sentient beings to obtain the fourteen fearless merits. However, Master Huikong's rosewood Buddhist bead bracelet has one more agarwood Buddhist bead, and he is willing to bear more sorrow and cause and effect for all sentient beings.

The Buddhist beads bracelet in this brocade box are exactly the same as the legend in terms of gloss and texture.

Moreover, I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, or because the Buddhist beads had indeed passed through the hands of Master Huikong and were contaminated with some Buddha nature, the moment Shen Nanzhi saw the Buddhist beads, his originally somewhat irritable heart miraculously calmed down.

Xie Wanting might have ulterior motives in asking her out, but there should be no problem with this Buddhist beads.

This alone makes it worth Shen Nanzhi's trip.

Shen Nanzhi put away the brocade box, pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I'll tell my aunt and go right over."

The servant nodded hurriedly and said, "Then I will wait for Miss Shen here and lead the way."

Shen Nanzhi nodded slightly, "Okay."

Fortunately, the Shen family had an extra carriage ready when they came. Shen Nanzhi sent her third aunt and Liu Jingya onto the carriage. They also heard the conversation she had just had with the servant.

Third aunt Liu Xiuzhu asked with concern, "Do you want me and Jingya to accompany you? I've heard that Fourth Miss Xie doesn't get along well with you."

Liu Jingya also said: "She is just a brainless idiot, what can she do to you?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head: "Maybe he really repents."

Even she herself didn't believe this.

Although Shen Nanzhi said this on his face, he calmly pulled Liu Jingya's hand and wrote a few words on her palm.

Liu Jingya suddenly opened her eyes wide and said in surprise: "Sister Zhizhi, you..."

Shen Nanzhi smiled slightly and said loudly: "Don't worry, I will be back soon."

After saying this, seeing that her third aunt and Liu Jingya had understood what she meant, Shen Nanzhi asked Qiuyu, who had come to pick her up, to go back with her first. Then she lowered the curtain of the carriage and asked the coachman to take them back first.

After their carriage left, the suspicious-looking carriages not far away were still parked there, and even the dozen or so dark shadows that were hiding stealthily left. Shen Nanzhi knew that these people were coming for her.

After the carriage of the third aunt and Liu Jingya turned the corner and went far away, Shen Nanzhi turned to look at the boy and said, "Let's go."

She got into another carriage.

The carriage had just started moving, and the carriages that were parked not far away also moved.

Shen Nanzhi let down the curtain and just slightly adjusted her sleeves, just like usual, as if she didn't notice the little movements outside.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the door, the servant of the Xie family bowed and greeted, "Miss Shen, my daughter is in the private room on the third floor. Please move over."

Shen Nanzhi cooperated very well and got off the carriage.

Ya Ming Pavilion is one of the largest teahouses in Beijing, located on the most prosperous and lively Zhuque Street.

Those who come here to drink tea are either rich or noble.

Even the lobby on the first floor was not as noisy as that of ordinary teahouses. In this huge teahouse, apart from the lingering music of pianos coming from the stands, there was almost no other sound.

Shen Nanzhi walked up the stairs from the first floor to the third floor. Looking along the way, he saw that even the guests who were talking in the private rooms behind curtains were speaking in soft voices, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

"We're here, please come in, Miss Shen."

The servant of the Xie family brought Shen Nanzhi to a private room on the third floor next to the stairs, and when they reached the door, he raised his hand to invite her in.

The people in the room heard the noise, and before the servant of the Xie family could knock on the door, the door was opened from the inner room.

When Shen Nanzhi raised her eyes, she saw Fourth Miss Xie sitting by the window. She raised her eyes and smiled at her: "Miss Shen, you are finally here."

As she spoke, she stood up and came over to greet him.

After not seeing her for many days, Xie Wanting's complexion looked much rosier and her health had visibly improved.

Today she is wearing a lotus pink gauze pleated skirt, looking like a butterfly flying around the yard.

However, before she even reached Shen Nanzhi, she paused hesitantly: "Will this be too abrupt?"

Shen Nanzhi stepped over the threshold and said in a calm tone, "It's not abrupt, hasn't Fourth Miss Xie already invited you?"

Hearing this, Xie Wanting's smile froze, but soon returned to normal. She smiled at Shen Nanzhi and said, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I should have come to tell you in person, but my mother's affairs... I'm sure you know that my mother went too far back then. She has realized her mistakes over the years and has sincerely repented. She also strictly ordered me not to get close to the Shen family and cause trouble for you. In addition, I was afraid that your mother would be angry and not happy to see me, so I... I didn't dare to visit you."

At this point, Xie Wanting personally led Shen Nanzhi to sit by the window, poured her a cup of hot tea, and said sincerely: "After a trip to the Yama Palace, I have figured out a lot of things. I sincerely apologize. Even if you don't believe me, you can think that I am doing this for the Xie family. The Shen family is now in its heyday, and I don't want the Xie family to be angry because I offended you."

After she finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi raised her hand to take the teacup. She looked at the tea made from the best snow buds and did not drink it immediately. Instead, she said generously, "What happened in the past is in the past. My mother also said that we should be well and not disturb each other in the future. You don't have to worry that I will target the Xie family. However, you asked me to come here today, not just to apologize, right?"

Xie Wanting stood up, holding the teacup and said sincerely: "Of course, before coming here, my servant should have told you that I did get the whereabouts of Master Huikong by chance."

Shen Nanzhi paused while holding the teacup: "Where is it?"

Xie Wanting sat down opposite Shen Nanzhi and drank a cup of hot tea before she said leisurely, "Don't worry, I've asked someone to follow them. I believe they will report their exact location soon. It won't take more than a cup of tea, and we can follow them then."

Since she said so, Shen Nanzhi didn't ask any more questions. She put down the teacup and smiled, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Fourth Miss to keep an eye on it for me."

Xie Wanting smiled and said, "As I should. I just hope Miss Shen won't be angry with me because of what happened before."

She looked up at Shen Nanzhi and picked up the teacup: "I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to Miss Shen."

As she spoke, she picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Nanzhi also picked up the teacup, but she did not drink it immediately. Instead, she just put it to her lips, pretended to do so, and then put it down.

Seeing this, Xie Wanting frowned and said, "Miss Shen thinks I'm not sincere enough, or is she afraid that I'll poison the tea?"

Shen Nanzhi's fingers holding the teacup turned slightly, and she said nonchalantly, "Fourth Miss Xie, you misunderstood. I've been worried sick recently because of my cousin's affairs, and Pian Pian prescribed me some medicine, but the medicine and tea can't be taken together. I hope Fourth Miss Xie will forgive me."

Xie Wanting seemed to be relieved.

She raised her eyes and smiled, "So that's how it is. How about I ask someone to change it to honey water for Miss Shen?"

Seeing Shen Nanzhi nod, she directly called the maid beside her to make arrangements.

Soon there was a knock on the door, and a young servant in coarse linen clothes came in with a tray in his hand.

He kept his head down, as if he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to raise his eyes.

From Shen Nanzhi's perspective, she could only see his delicate eyebrows and eyes.

The tray contained the honey water that was intended to be presented to Shen Nanzhi.

The servant respectfully placed the tray in front of Shen Nanzhi.

Xie Wanting on the opposite side also smiled and said, "Miss Shen, how are you now?"

Shen Nanzhi took it and sniffed it. Under the expectant gaze of Xie Wanting, Shen Nanzhi raised her hand and poured the hot honey water directly onto the tea boy. She said sternly, "How do you serve guests, you bastard? How dare you serve such hot honey water to guests?"

Fortunately, the servant reacted quickly when the water was splashed and raised his hand to block it in time. Most of the honey water was blocked by his sleeves and did not splash directly on his face.

But even so, his sleeves and lapels were soaked by the honey water, making him look particularly disheveled.

The servant had no other reaction yet, but Fourth Miss Xie beside him cried out in panic: "Ah! Shen Nanzhi! How dare you!"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi looked at Xie Wanting with confusion on her face, "What does Fourth Miss Xie mean? I am a guest here. It was originally this boy who was ignorant and almost scalded me with the honey water. Why didn't Fourth Miss Xie blame this boy, but blamed me instead?"

Before Xie Wanting could react, the servant who was splashed with tea had already lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "It was my negligence. I hope Miss Shen will show mercy and give me another chance."

Shen Nanzhi put down the teacup and said coldly, "Okay, remember not to put such hot water next time."

The boy responded very respectfully, then quickly left with the teacup and tray.

At this point, Xie Wanting on the opposite side also looked a little embarrassed. She held the hot tea and said awkwardly, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, I was also scared just now."

Shen Nanzhi leaned back on the armchair behind him and said casually, "It's nothing. Fourth Miss Xie is kind and beautiful. It's normal for her to care about the people below. But, there is one thing I don't understand."

At this point, Shen Nanzhi paused and looked at Xie Wanting coldly, which made Xie Wanting feel uncomfortable. She took the initiative to ask, "What, what don't you understand?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just curious, he's just a waiter in a teahouse, I splashed it, why did Fourth Miss Xie react so strongly?"

Xie Wanting was choked by Shen Nanzhi's words.

She was about to open her mouth to make amends when the door was pushed open and the servant came back.
