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

This arrow was faster and more powerful than the previous one. Although Shen Nanzhi quickly turned over to avoid it, he felt a dull pain in his heart because he had mobilized his internal energy.

This was a sign that she had used force and the Hua Gong San could no longer be suppressed and was about to backfire.

No more rash actions!

At that time, she saw that the man's skills were not very good, and she thought she could handle it. Shen Nanzhi felt a little annoyed now.

If she had known that the other party was so difficult to deal with, she should have waited for Qiuyue a little longer.

Now, she could only avoid the spotlight temporarily. Although she was unwilling to let the man escape under her nose, her life was more important.

We'll catch the person later.

Shen Nanzhi took a deep breath and just stood firm. Before he could even look at the other party, he heard a scolding: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Zhenbei Palace!"

Shen Nanzhi had originally considered backing out, but when he heard the cold voice, he felt relieved.

It turned out that it wasn't that person who suddenly became troublesome, but that she accidentally broke into the Zhenbei Palace.

Shen Nanzhi quickly introduced himself: "I am from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I just tracked down the thieves all the way here. I didn't intend to break into the Zhenbei Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi even felt that the murderous aura that had just enveloped him had faded a little.

Without the pressure of the arrow feathers, Shen Nanzhi was finally able to see clearly the appearance of the person standing under the eaves.

He was a young man in black clothes holding a longbow. His eyes were as cold as stars and there was a hideous scar between his eyebrows that extended all the way to behind his ear.

On the ground at his feet lay a masked man in black. He was the thief that Shen Nanzhi had been tracking all the way.

However, he was hit by an arrow in the chest and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

If this person dies, the clue will be gone.

But it couldn't be blamed on the young man in black. After all, the thief was blind and had to run to the Prince of Zhenbei's Palace instead of running anywhere else.

Even if Xiao Chuyun does not receive the emperor's favor, the title of King of Zhenbei is not empty.

Not only did he have a fief and a fiefdom, but unlike other mansions which only had servants to guard the house, the Zhenbei Palace had 500 personal soldiers and guards within the regulations.

Moreover, it is said that most of them accompanied King Zhenbei in retreating from the battlefield. They are all brave and good at fighting, and they accompanied him to survive the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Young man, may I ask if the King of Zhenbei is in the mansion?"

Shen Nanzhi thought that Xiao Chuyun would not bother with her about such a small matter, but what bothered her was that today was not a day off, and Xiao Chuyun was supposed to be on duty at the Dali Temple.

The black-robed young man frowned and said unhappily, "You can't just see our prince whenever you want. Besides, your identity is suspicious. I need to confirm it with the Zhenguo Mansion. You can't leave right now."

This person acts cautiously.

Shen Nanzhi was about to remind him to ask the people from the Liu family next door to come and give her a testimony, but she heard a shout: "Mo Yun! How dare you!"

Mo Yi's voice suddenly sounded.

Finally meeting an acquaintance, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Shen Nanzhi saw Mo Yi pushing a bamboo chair out from the corner.

Mo Yun quickly knelt down and respectfully stepped aside.

Xiao Chuyun sat on a bamboo chair.

Today he was wearing a plain white brocade gown, and his ink-black long hair was only half fixed with an ebony hairpin, while the rest was draped over his shoulders.

Compared to the exquisiteness and meticulousness seen before, Xiao Chuyun today is a bit more casual and calm.

But his face was also paler than before.

It's already spring, and even Shen Nanzhi, who is afraid of cold, has already changed into spring clothes, but Xiao Chuyun still has a fox fur blanket covering him.

As soon as we met, he covered his lips and started coughing before he even opened his mouth.

The originally pale face took on an abnormal blush due to the coughing.

It was difficult for Shen Nanzhi to associate the image of such a sickly nobleman with the King of Zhenbei who was so decisive in killing on the battlefield and made the enemy tremble in fear.

In addition to the sadness, there was also a trace of heartache spreading in Shen Nanzhi's heart.

"Your Majesty."

Originally, she wanted to say hello and casually ask why he happened to be at the mansion today, but when Shen Nanzhi saw his expression and the bamboo chair he was leaning on, she changed her mind and thought that maybe he had an old injury that had come back and was recuperating at the mansion.

Shen Nanzhi changed the subject: "I just met a thief and followed him all the way here. I never thought that I would accidentally break into the Zhenbei Palace. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Chuyun's cold gaze first fell on Shen Nanzhi's face, and finally passed over her and fell on the wall behind her. Finally, he asked irrelevantly: "Are you injured?"

When asking this question, Shen Nanzhi clearly felt that Xiao Chuyun's originally gentle aura suddenly turned cold. Even Mo Yi, who was pushing the bamboo chair for him behind him, subconsciously lowered his head a few more degrees.

Shen Nanzhi subconsciously followed his gaze and saw two arrows stuck diagonally on the courtyard wall.

Shen Nanzhi waved her hands quickly: "No, but how do you plan to deal with this thief, Your Majesty?"

Just now, Shen Nanzhi saw his chest tremble slightly, and thought that the young man in black clothes held back and did not hit him in the vitals.

Shen Nanzhi thought that since Xiao Chuyun was now in charge of the Dali Temple, this matter was also under his jurisdiction, so he quickly explained the whole story and finally said, "He ran to the prince, and he walked into a trap."

It would be much more convenient to hand this matter over to the Dali Temple than for Shen Nanzhi to investigate the Wen family himself.

But Xiao Chuyun asked her after hearing this: "So, Miss Shen rushed back to the city that day because she was worried about Miss Wen San's safety, not because she had an appointment with her seventh brother?"

His focus was clearly wrong.

However, Shen Nanzhi still nodded and said, "Indeed, I went to the Dali Temple to look for my uncle the day before yesterday because I was worried that he would break the appointment and miss such a good girl from the Wen family. Your Highness doesn't know that my uncle has always been slow in matters of love. My mother asked me to help him out, so I rushed back that day."

It’s not because of that scumbag Xiao Qian’an!

I don’t know if it was Shen Nanzhi’s illusion, but after hearing her explanation, Xiao Chuyun’s brows softened a little, and even his eyes seemed to have a happy smile.

He looked at Shen Nanzhi: "I understand. I will have someone investigate this person and the Wen family. Don't worry, Miss Shen."

Now that she had obtained his promise, Shen Nanzhi had nothing to worry about.

She bowed and said, "I'll trouble you, Your Highness, but since this concerns Miss Wen San's innocence, it's not appropriate to make it public. I hope Your Highness will understand."

Xiao Chuyun nodded: "Of course."

Shen Nanzhi bowed and was about to leave when he remembered something important.

How is she going to leave?

I just climbed over the wall.

Now, you climb over the wall and leave in front of others?

This was not the point. The most crucial thing was that the arrows shot by the black-clothed young man under his command forced her to dodge again and again. She had no choice but to mobilize her internal energy and use force, and now her body could not bear it.

Not only did my heart ache, but my limbs also ached and I couldn't use any strength.

Even if she gritted her teeth and forced herself to turn over, it would have been a very forced and embarrassing posture with her butt sticking up.

It would be better to ask Shen Nanzhi to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But if she went out through the main gate of the Zhenbei Palace, there were many guests gathered outside the Liu family. If she was seen by someone with sharp eyes... Whether Miss Wen San could cover up this matter was another matter. By then, Shen Nanzhi herself would not be able to explain herself clearly.

After standing there and hesitating for a while, Shen Nanzhi finally said, "Um... Prince... do you have a ladder at home?"

"Puch..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chuyun hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Mo Yi, who was standing behind Xiao Chuyun, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But it was just one sound, and he immediately held it back.

Even so, from Shen Nanzhi's perspective, she could still see him with his head down and his shoulders shaking, which showed how hard it was for him to hold back his laughter.

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

It's really embarrassing.

As calm as she was, she blushed at this moment.

Shen Nanzhi thought about it and decided to grit his teeth and take a deep breath to turn over and leave. Even if his movements became a little ugly due to lack of strength, even if the poison spread further, as long as he could escape from here immediately, it would be good.

Just as this thought came to mind, Xiao Chuyun said to Mo Yi behind him: "What are you still standing there for?"

Mo Yi quickly accepted the order: "Yes, I will go and get the ladder right away."

It was so hard to hold back his laughter that the corners of his eyes turned red.

After Xiao Chuyun spoke, Shen Nanzhi, who originally wanted to escape immediately, could only stand at the foot of the wall and wait for Mo Yi's ladder.

It was really too embarrassing, Shen Nanzhi simply turned her eyes away and didn't dare to look at Xiao Chuyun's face at all.

However, Xiao Chuyun's voice was still as gentle as jade. Even Mo Yi had a hard time holding back his laughter, but he did not laugh at it at all. Instead, he asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

I didn't expect him to see it at a glance.

Shen Nanzhi blushed and nodded: "I feel a little tired, but I will be fine after a short rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a bamboo chair.

Shen Nanzhi turned around subconsciously and saw Xiao Chuyun getting down from the bamboo chair and walking towards her.

Seeing this, although she didn't know what he was going to do, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously cooperated with him and walked a few steps towards him.

He was already sitting on a bamboo chair, which showed how serious the recurrence of his leg injury was. Shen Nanzhi subconsciously didn't want him to take these few more steps.

Not sure if he saw through Shen Nanzhi's thoughts, Xiao Chuyun said gently: "It's okay."

As he said this, he extended his hand towards Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi didn't react for a while, and then he heard him patiently say: "Although I am not as skilled as Lu Pianpian, I know a little about medicine."

Shen Nanzhi understood.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, the other person meant well after all, so Shen Nanzhi handed over his wrist.

The weather had already gotten hot, and the man was still wearing thick brocade clothes, but unexpectedly his fingertips were as cold as ice, freezing to the bone.

I don't know how cold he is.

Seeing the fox fur blanket that fell at his feet because he stood up and walked towards her in a hurry, Shen Nanzhi was surprised that she had the urge to pick it up and put it on him.

"It's not too serious."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chuyun withdrew his hand and warned: "Be careful next time and don't mobilize your internal energy at will."

As he spoke, he took out a small white marble porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Nanzhi.

"If Miss Shen believes me, you can take it first. This medicine can relieve the pain in Miss Shen's body and will not harm Miss Shen."

Shen Nanzhi naturally believed him.

The small white marble porcelain vase was icy cold, the same temperature as his fingertips.

Shen Nanzhi opened it and saw a small vermilion pill inside with a strong medicinal aroma. There was no tea here and the pill was not very big. Shen Nanzhi was hesitating whether he should bite the bullet and swallow it.

But meeting his expectant look, Shen Nanzhi still put it into his mouth.

It was not as dry and choking as expected. The small pill melted in her mouth and brought a cool feeling that went from her mouth and nose all the way to her internal organs.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after swallowing it, Shen Nanzhi even felt a lot more relaxed all over.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

It only took a moment.

Shen Nanzhi tried standing on tiptoe and indeed felt stronger than before.

There should be no problem climbing up the wall.

In this case, there is no need to wait for the ladder to be delivered and then climb over in such an embarrassing way using the ladder.

Shen Nanzhi thanked him again: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go back now."

Also, it's so embarrassing.

It wasn't just because she wanted to borrow the ladder. Shen Nanzhi also remembered that she had promised Xiao Chuyun before that she was not one of those delicate girls in Kyoto who needed protection. But now, she even had trouble climbing over the wall. Thinking about the big words she had said, it was really embarrassing!

Seeing Xiao Chuyun nod, Shen Nanzhi walked to the foot of the wall, tapped her toes, and flipped over the courtyard wall that seemed unreachable to her just now.

However, as soon as Shen Nanzhi landed, Mo Yi came back.

Mo Yi, who had just moved the ladder to the wall, did not see Shen Nanzhi, so he could not help but ask curiously, "My Lord, where is Miss Shen?"

Xiao Chuyun did not answer him, but said to the black-robed young man Mo Yun in a deep voice: "Go and get thirty military sticks."

There was no trace of the gentleness and friendliness in his voice as when he spoke to Shen Nanzhi.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Mo Yi laughing beside him: "Silly Mo Yun, you are such a blockhead and you have come to this day!"

However, he still kindly reminded her: "You must be sure of that person. You are lucky that you didn't hurt him today, and the master is in a good mood at the moment. Otherwise, not only would you lose your arm, you might even lose your life!"

Mo Yi was just gloating over his misfortune, but he never expected that the next moment he heard Xiao Chuyun's cold voice: "You too."

Mo Yi, who hadn't had time to retract his smile, said: "Ah???"

However, it only took him a moment to realize why - he knew he was reminding Mo Yun, but he forgot that he had just made a stupid mistake.

Thinking of the thirty military sticks, Mo Yi couldn't help but want to punch himself in the face twice. Why couldn't he hold back his laughter?

You don’t have to imagine how hard he tried to hold back his laughter, how painful it would be when the military stick hit him!

Mo Yi regrets it!

However, Shen Nanzhi didn't know all this.

She was worried about Miss Wen San, and was also afraid that if she left for too long something unexpected might happen, so after turning over and landing on the ground, Shen Nanzhi quickly left the place and headed back.

After walking through only two courtyards, she met Liu Jingya, who was rushing to find her in a hurry.

"Cousin Zhizhi!" Liu Jingya looked Shen Nanzhi up and down, and was relieved to see that she was fine: "Are you okay? How is the thief?"

Liu Jingya was accompanied by her personal maid, and Shen Nanzhi did not hide anything and explained the important things that had just happened in the Zhenbei Palace.

Hearing that the thief had been caught, Liu Jingya subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked up and saw Shen Nanzhi's blushing cheeks, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Cousin Zhizhi, why is your face so red?"

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, Liu Jingya said nervously, "But did the King of Zhenbei embarrass you?"
