If someone else said this, it would make them sound a bit like a lecher.
But because the other person was Xiao Chuyun, and because his expression was sincere, his eyes were bright, and he was so frank that no one could find any fault with him.
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has also been to Jiangnan?"
Shen Nanzhi has lived with her mother in the Shen family's old house in Jiangnan since she was a child. This is her first time to set foot in the capital.
As a prince, Xiao Chuyun was kept in the palace no matter how unfavored he was. Later, he was awarded the title of King of Zhenbei for his military achievements and was granted the Zhenbei Palace, which was all in Kyoto. He should have no connection with Jiangnan, which was thousands of miles away.
But they had no interaction in their previous life, but he was willing to risk the world's condemnation for her.
Shen Nanzhi also wanted to know the reason.
But Xiao Chuyun in this life has no idea about his previous life.
Xiao Chuyun did not answer, but turned his gaze elsewhere. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and he looked a little lonely.
He was wearing a dark brocade robe with cloud patterns today, and his ink-black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. He looked indescribably elegant and handsome.
If it weren't for his injuries and weak body, he would have been such a brilliant man.
How could the title of the most handsome man in the capital fall upon the seventh prince Xiao Qian'an?
pity……
Because she was so amazed, Shen Nanzhi couldn't restrain her gaze.
It just so happened that Xiao Chuyun was turning around to look at her.
Suddenly meeting the other person's eyes, pure and clear as ink, Shen Nanzhi felt a sudden sense of embarrassment as if he was caught peeking.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but suddenly heard Mo Yi exclaim.
"Master, be careful!"
Before he could finish his words, the carriage, which had been stable, suddenly shook forward and the people in it were thrown forward.
Shen Nanzhi reacted very quickly. She gripped the frame of the car with one hand, trying to steady her body so that she would not be thrown out, but at this moment, her shoulders sank.
Xiao Chuyun's big hands with distinct joints firmly pressed down on her shoulders, protecting half of her body.
Just then, the carriage suddenly fell to one side.
The incident happened too suddenly. Mo Yi, who was in front of the carriage, just had time to pull Qiuyue off the carriage, but Xiao Chuyun and Shen Nanzhi who were inside the carriage were too late.
"master!"
"Miss!"
Who could have thought that a huge trap would suddenly appear on the originally smooth official road.
By the time Mo Yi discovered it, the entire carriage had already crashed into the water!
As the world spun around, Shen Nanzhi realized it was too late to jump out of the car. Instinctively, she bent down and hugged her head, preparing to protect her vital parts, but at this moment, Xiao Chuyun beside her pulled her into his arms.
The moment her ear was forced against his broad chest, Shen Nanzhi was startled.
In this moment of distraction, Xiao Chuyun's broad palm had already protected the back of her head, and his elbow was against the back of her heart.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the carriage that was speeding just a moment ago rolled over twice and then fell into a huge pit without any warning!
Although it was dangerous and he was disoriented, Shen Nanzhi was almost unharmed.
Xiao Chuyun used his body as a cushion, protecting almost her entire body in front of him.
As the carriage fell to the ground, Shen Nanzhi even heard an uncontrollable groan in his chest.
"Your Majesty!"
Shen Nanzhi thought of the wounds he had sustained when he was being hunted in Qingyun Mountain, many of which were so deep that the bones were visible.
It's only been a few days, and such a serious wound definitely hasn't had time to scab over yet.
He was already weak and seriously injured, and now he had to endure all this pressure in order to protect her.
Shen Nanzhi was extremely anxious.
When all the turmoil stopped, she quickly struggled to get up from Xiao Chuyun's arms using her hands and feet. When she saw Xiao Chuyun's increasingly paler face and the cold sweat that had already soaked his temples, Shen Nanzhi's heart sank.
"How are you?"
If something bad happened to him in this life while trying to save her, Shen Nanzhi would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Because she was too excited and nervous, Shen Nanzhi didn't care about her usual politeness at this moment: "I'm not one of those delicate girls in Kyoto who needs protection. I can handle this matter completely. Why does Your Majesty need to take risks for me!"
As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi had already supported Xiao Chuyun's shoulders, trying to pull him up.
"sorry."
His face was as pale as paper, but his expression was still as gentle as jade. He didn't take Shen Nanzhi's reckless attitude to heart at all. He just said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I offended Miss Shen just now. I'm sorry."
It's been a long time, and he still remembers this.
Shen Nanzhi was in a complicated mood. Her eyes inadvertently swept to his chest. When she saw it, Shen Nanzhi's eyelids twitched.
No wonder she smelled a faint smell of blood just now.
It turned out that the wound on his chest had opened and blood was oozing out.
Before Shen Nanzhi could react, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside.
Mo Yi and Qiu Yue, who had just jumped off the car, were stopped by dozens of men in black before they could reach the carriage. More than ten other people jumped into the pit with long swords in hand.
Qiuyue is Shen Nanzhi's personal maid and has been Shen Nanzhi's sword-fighting sparring partner since childhood. Her agility and skills are not inferior to those of ordinary guards.
But there were too many men in black, and even if Qiuyue and Mo Yi cooperated well, they couldn't get close to the carriage for a while.
After Shen Nanzhi saw the situation outside through the gap in the crooked car window, he subconsciously turned around to look at Xiao Chuyun.
He obviously didn't expect that there would be an assassin chasing him all the way here.
However, there was no time to explain this matter.
Xiao Chuyun raised his hand and grabbed Shen Nanzhi's wrist. His usual gentle tone was rarely filled with a hint of nervousness as he said, "I'll ask Mo Yi to help you break out first..."
Before he could finish, Shen Nanzhi interrupted him: "How can that be possible!"
The killer is close at hand.
Shen Nanzhi pressed Xiao Chuyun's wrist, helped him sit against the frame of the car, and said seriously: "I said, I'm not one of those delicate girls in Beijing who need protection."
"Just a few assassins."
Shen Nanzhi gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Just stay here and I will protect you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chuyun's dark eyes, which were originally calm and cool like a deep pool, seemed to have a small stone thrown into them, and ripples appeared in an instant.
The light in the carriage was dim, but Shen Nanzhi, dressed in a light green brocade dress, was so gorgeous that his black eyes seemed to be filled with color.
Shen Nanzhi naturally did not notice the change in Xiao Chuyun's expression. As soon as she finished speaking, there was a gust of sword wind, and the man in black who was rushing in the front had already raised his sword and stabbed directly at the car window.
Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi pulled Xiao Huaijin to the safe side, then she turned over and climbed up from the overturned carriage. With a tiptoe, she kicked directly at the wrist of the man in black who was about to stab a second time through the window with a sword.
The man's sword had just been stuck in the car window, and before he could even pull it out, Shen Nanzhi's toes had already reached it.
At the moment when the man was in pain and his hands were weak, Shen Nanzhi jumped up and rushed to his side, snatched his sword, stabbed him in the chest with his backhand, and kicked him away.
Even so, the bright red, hot blood still splashed all over Shen Nanzhi's face.
Her heart suddenly tightened.
This was her first time killing someone, whether in her previous life or this life.
Although she had practiced martial arts since she was young and had achieved great success, she had never encountered a situation like the one she was facing now, where her life was at stake.
Although the other party wanted to take her and Xiao Chuyun's lives, death was not a pity, but because it was her first time killing someone, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help being nervous.
There is also a trace of awe and fear for life.
But that's all.
