The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi
Chapter 196 She is like a heartless man
It was Xiao Yunzi, who had brought Shen Nanzhi here before, who had received the news early and was already waiting outside Chaohua Palace.
Although he had been here once, Shen Nanzhi was still dazzled by the sight of all the dazzling jewels when he stepped in.
After entering, Shen Nanzhi discovered that, unlike the previous time, there were almost no palace maids or eunuchs to be seen inside. Only Xiao Yunzi, a gatekeeper, and two palace maids in charge of cleaning were waiting outside.
Perhaps seeing Shen Nanzhi's confusion, Xiao Chuyun sneered and said, "After handing the jade ring to you, he also withdrew the people here. My father, the emperor, is quite dignified..."
Presentable.
However, even though the few remaining people here were all their own people, someone as cautious as Xiao Chuyun did not completely utter the last few words.
Shen Nanzhi understood.
She held Xiao Chuyun's arm and said softly, "Your Majesty, let's go in and have a cup of tea first. I have something to tell you."
Xiao Chuyun turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yunzi.
Xiao Yunzi quickly led the others to retreat.
Shen Nanzhi helped Xiao Chuyun into the hall. As soon as they entered the door, Xiao Chuyun, who was in unbearable pain and had to rely on her support to walk, hugged her tightly.
Her cheek pressed against his chest, and feeling his strong heartbeat, Shen Nanzhi's originally uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
She opened her mouth and was about to get down to business.
"Your Majesty..."
But as soon as he said this, Xiao Chuyun hugged him tighter. He rested his chin on Shen Nanzhi's neck, tightened his arms, took a deep sniff, and then said, "Did you miss me?"
Shen Nanzhi was about to ask about Xiao Qi'an's life or death, but the words got stuck in her throat. She blurted out "Ah?", which made Xiao Chuyun feel a little depressed. Even his tone couldn't help but carry a bit of grievance as he said, "To Miss Shen, is there anyone more important than me? It turns out that I am the only one who loves you unrequitedly."
Xiao Chuyun's eyes were dim: "Miss Shen didn't even think about me."
He was the dignified King of Zhenbei, but when he said such words, it made people feel aggrieved for some reason, like a child who couldn't get candy.
Shen Nanzhi, who was ready to get down to business as soon as they met, had to suppress the question silently and explained quickly: "No, I think so, of course I think so."
Having said that, compared to Xiao Chuyun's aggrieved look, Shen Nanzhi's words sounded like a heartless man who deceived someone's feelings and was not responsible and tried to pass it off.
Shen Nanzhi, who didn't think she had done anything wrong, felt inexplicably ashamed. Just as she was about to make amends, Xiao Chuyun suddenly lowered his head and moved closer. His hot breath fell on her neck and he bit her earlobe. He didn't let go immediately, but rubbed it with the tip of his teeth.
Shen Nanzhi: …
The tingling sensation made her shudder all over and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
"The king...the prince..."
Xiao Chuyun chuckled and whispered in Shen Nanzhi's ear: "It will be fine in a moment."
While speaking, he had already let go of Shen Nanzhi's earlobe and gave Shen Nanzhi a light kiss on the forehead.
His voice was like the sound of emeralds colliding with each other, and as it rubbed against her ears, it was filled with deep affection, like a light tail feather that landed in Shen Nanzhi's heart, and her whole heart softened.
When it comes to love between a man and a woman, Shen Nanzhi, who is always shy, subconsciously reaches out her hand, takes the initiative to wrap her arms around Xiao Chuyun's waist, and buries her cheek in his chest, saying softly: "I miss you too, Your Highness. I heard about your entry into the palace before, and I know you're back, but you didn't come to see me as soon as possible as usual, and you didn't even bring a message. I'm very worried."
Xiao Chuyun's whole body was cold, only his lips against Shen Nanzhi's forehead and his breath on her neck were hot.
Even my chest felt cold.
Shen Nanzhi's cheek pressed against his chest felt like it was pressed against ice.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Chuyun held her hands back and widened the distance between them.
He lowered his eyes to look at her and said carefully, "Don't catch a cold."
After that, he explained Shen Nanzhi's question: "You know that the emperor values Xiao Qian'an. Because he got into trouble, he kept a closer eye on me, fearing that I had some plans. On the way back from Yuzhou, I didn't even dare to use a substitute for fear of being exposed. I didn't use a secret guard to contact the capital, fearing that the people he was following would find out something. I have taken all ninety-nine steps, so I should be more aware of this last step."
At this point, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and said, "Although the situation forced me to do so, I did not contact you in advance. I'm sorry for making you worry about me for no reason."
Shen Nanzhi was not angry about this, she just wanted to know the reason. Besides, she was not the unreasonable person.
Facing Xiao Chuyun's eyes that were brighter than the stars, Shen Nanzhi shook his head and asked with concern: "Is the cold poison in the prince's body acting up again? It shouldn't have happened so quickly. Is it because you gave me Bingpo?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun smiled slightly, pulled Shen Nanzhi to sit on the couch, and comforted her: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you, it's just the result of running around for days, and besides..."
At this point, he paused and smiled, "If it wasn't more serious, it would be hard to conceal the fact that the stand-in pretended to be sick in Yuzhou."
Xiao Chuyun said it lightly, but Shen Nanzhi was terrified.
She subconsciously clenched Xiao Chuyun's hand and said nervously, "So, the prince's cold poison broke out early this time, was it also intentional?"
Xiao Chuyun was about to nod, but saw Shen Nanzhi's brows furrowed. It was obvious that Shen Nanzhi was angry because he did not take care of his body and used his health as a bargaining chip.
Xiao Chuyun quickly gave in: "At that time, I was afraid that something might happen to the Shen family, so I had to advance the plan against the Zhou family and Lin Hongrui. I won't do that again in the future."
Shen Nanzhi also understood this principle. She also knew that Xiao Chuyun used a substitute in the first place because he had to cover up his whereabouts for the sake of the Shen family. She was not angry with Xiao Chuyun, she just felt sorry for Xiao Chuyun, and was angry with herself.
I just hate that I lived such a confused life in my previous life.
Jiang Shiyan and his son, Jiang Yanran, Xiao Qian'an and others jointly plotted against him. Every wrong step led to further mistakes.
Although he had a chance to start over, he was unable to help much because he knew very little about court affairs in his previous life.
Compared to Xiao Chuyun who knows everything, Shen Nanzhi has no advantages at all.
Fortunately, there is Xiao Chuyun.
If he had not taken the Zhou family and Lin Hongrui into account in time, allowing the cancer of the Zhou family to explode before Emperor Shunqing cleaned up the Shen family, even if Shen Nanzhi's plan could save the Shen family, their situation would definitely not be better than it is now.
Seeing that Shen Nanzhi didn't say anything, Xiao Chuyun was about to continue coaxing her in a low voice, but he heard Shen Nanzhi suddenly look at him with red eyes and choked up, "Thank you."
Although the word "thank you" was too simple to express their gratitude to each other, Shen Nanzhi didn't know what else to say.
However, Xiao Chuyun chuckled.
He originally wanted to hold her in his arms, but then he thought that his coldness might be transferred to her, so he stopped and pinched Shen Nanzhi's fingertips with his palms warmed by his inner strength, saying lovingly, "Silly girl."
He lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Nanzhi. In those ink-black eyes, only Shen Nanzhi's reflection was extremely clear.
I only heard him say gently but firmly: "I am yours, my heart is yours, and my soul is yours. It is natural and pleasant for me to do anything for you."
Xiao Chuyun said it as if it was a matter of course, as if it should be like this.
Originally, these were words of affectionate love, but the moment Shen Nanzhi heard the words "My soul is yours too", she thought of the forbidden technique of burning the soul that Xiao Qian'an had mentioned before.
The tears that had been welling up in her eyes could no longer be controlled and fell down in large drops.
Just now her eyes were full of heartache, but in the blink of an eye they seemed to be shrouded and infected by a layer of deep and indissoluble sadness.
There is obviously something wrong with Shen Nanzhi like this.
Xiao Chuyun frowned slightly, suppressed the tension in his heart, and asked with concern: "Did something happen?"
Shen Nanzhi shouldn't have such an expression...
It looks like... a parting of life and death.
But he was clearly right in front of her. In the past, he could always guess Shen Nanzhi's thoughts, but now he was a little confused.
Xiao Chuyun felt a little flustered.
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi was slightly stunned.
She originally wanted to say it, but then she thought that Xiao Chuyun was going to leave for the northern border that day, and the matter was of great importance, so he should not be distracted by these things.
She quickly pulled her hand out of Xiao Chuyun's palm, wiped the tears from her face and shook her head, "Nothing, I had a nightmare before. I'll tell you in detail when you come back from the North."
Since Shen Nanzhi was unwilling to talk, Xiao Chuyun did not force her. He nodded, placed his palm on the back of Shen Nanzhi's hand, and said gently, "Okay, wait for me to come back."
Not wanting to continue this sad topic, Shen Nanzhi turned his thoughts back to the question he was most concerned about before: "Prince, is Xiao Qi'an really dead?"
Shen Nanzhi always felt uneasy as long as he didn't see Xiao Qian'an's body for a day.
Even Jiang Yanran, who she thought could no longer make any waves, was able to "come back to life" and she almost managed to make a comeback.
Xiao Qian'an is not that fool as Jiang Yanran.
With what happened to Jiang Yanran in the past, Shen Nanzhi couldn't feel at ease.
However, if Shen Nanzhi could get confirmation from Xiao Chuyun, he would feel much more at ease.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xiao Chuyun shook his head and said, "I had someone deliver information about Zhou Yunxian to Xiao Qian'an. Xiao Qian'an led his men to kill Zhou Yunxian in an attempt to frame me. At that time, I took advantage of their situation and led him into the encirclement of the Zhou family army. He was captured by the Zhou family and then I had to leave immediately to avoid being implicated. At that time, my father rushed me back from eight hundred miles away, so I did not see his death with my own eyes."
At this point, Xiao Chuyun paused and said, "Although Zhou Yunxian is Zhou Zhengyong's only son, and Xiao Qian'an is blamed for this, given Zhou Zhengyong's temper, he would want to skin him alive, but after all, I haven't seen Xiao Qian'an's body with my own eyes, so I can't be sure whether this is a false signal released by the Zhou family, and I can't give you a definite answer, but..."
When mentioning Xiao Qian'an, Xiao Chuyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold brows were filled with a cold and murderous air.
He didn't need to explain the rest in detail, Shen Nanzhi also understood.
Even if Xiao Qian'an didn't die, he would at least have to suffer a lot if he wanted to leave Yongzhou alive.
Moreover, Xiao Chuyun must have made careful arrangements on several necessary routes from Yongzhou to the capital and would not give him this opportunity.
To take a step back, even if Xiao Qian'an survived a near-death experience and successfully escaped back to the capital, the news of his death had already spread throughout Da Qi, especially in the turbulent capital.
By the time he came back, the situation had changed.
"Keep the dragon-patterned jade pendant."
Xiao Chuyun pinched Shen Nanzhi's fingertips and said softly, "Although I know that you won't suffer any loss with your personality, but keeping it by your side will always save you some trouble. It's also good to keep it for hitting those annoying flies."
In his eyes, all those who cause trouble for Shen Nanzhi are flies.
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. How about using this as a fly swatter?"
Xiao Chuyun smiled and said lovingly, "Okay."
That look was like a layer of honey, making Shen Nanzhi feel sweet inside.
However, thinking of this dragon-patterned jade pendant, Shen Nanzhi's mind became clearer and he thought of the problems he had been thinking about all the way.
She hurriedly told Xiao Chuyun in detail about her discoveries and speculations in Yuquan Palace.
After hearing the last sentence, Xiao Chuyun frowned.
After all, this involves his real life experience, which is the most unbearable and most unwilling past for Xiao Chuyun to look back on.
If possible, Shen Nanzhi would rather never touch it again.
But everything about Yuquan Palace was too weird. If Shen Nanzhi didn't investigate it, he would always feel uneasy.
After asking Shen Nanzhi for his opinion, Xiao Chuyun didn't even hesitate and said immediately: "Since you are worried, let's go and take a look."
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi was suddenly stunned.
This, just?
She thought about finding an opportunity to go and have a look, but she didn't suddenly think of now as the time.
After all, this was too sudden and she wasn't even prepared at all.
As far as I can remember, Xiao Chuyun is not the kind of person who is as reckless as Shen Changan, who would just go and do things without considering the consequences.
However, Xiao Chuyun had already taken her hand and said gently but firmly: "It doesn't matter. Yuquan Palace is very close to here. It takes less than a cup of tea to go back and forth. Besides, this place is remote, so it's easy to avoid those eyes. With your Qinggong, there will be no problem at all."
The moment she met his eyes, Shen Nanzhi realized that he was indeed not such an impulsive person, and the reason he had to act immediately was because of her.
He was about to go to war, and Xiao Chuyun was worried about leaving her alone here, facing the unknown and uneasy Yuquan Palace.
So, I might as well take this opportunity to take her to find out what's inside. No matter what's inside, it will put Shen Nanzhi at ease.
He will only feel at ease if she feels at ease.
Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi felt a warm feeling in his heart, as if in the dead of winter, the warmth that was being properly protected in his heart instantly spread throughout his body.
only……
There is no doubt that Xiao Chuyun is powerful, but he is suffering from the cold poison now, and he is going there without any preparation...isn't it too impulsive?
Shen Nanzhi was hesitating, but she saw Xiao Chuyun had already pulled her hand and stood up, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take care of everything, and Xiao Yunzi will also cover for us here."
