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

Ministry of Punishment.

That is a purgatory where good people will suffer a lot if they enter it.

Upon hearing this, visible panic, fear, anxiety and anger appeared on the faces of the father and son.

In the end, it was Jiang Shiyan who calmed down first. He frowned and said, "This guy is just talking nonsense! He's trying to sow discord between us. Ah Xin, you know that Qingyuan is the son of my cousin and his wife. They went out to do business and both suffered misfortune, leaving behind this child. I felt sorry for him being alone, and Zhizhi was too lonely, so he needed a companion, so I adopted him under your name. Don't think too much about it."

Shen Yanxin raised her eyes and looked towards Jiang Shiyan.

She suppressed her disgust and looked at Jiang Shiyan with a calm expression. "In that case, there's nothing to worry about with that secret letter. I thought you had done something wrong and someone had a handle on you. I wanted to take advantage of the fact that you almost hurt Zhizhi today and divorce him directly. I also wanted to make the person who wrote the letter to inform on me feel relieved and hand over his so-called evidence and witnesses to the Shen family. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."

Jiang Shiyan was sweating profusely and nodded quickly, "Of course, of course, we are already an old married couple, Xin, don't you know me yet?"

Only Jiang Qingyuan lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking. When Jiang Shiyan was talking to Shen Yanxin, he was actually distracted.

Jiang Shiyan was also a little absent-minded. He said a few polite words to Shen Yanxin, then went back to the Jiang family on the pretext that he had just returned and was busy with work.

As soon as the father and son left, Shen Yanxin drank a large cup of tea to suppress the disgust in her heart.

Shen Nanzhi stepped forward and hugged A Niang, saying softly, "A Niang, hold on a little longer."

Although it is not impossible to tear each other apart now, the evidence of the Zhao family massacre has not been obtained yet, and Shen Nanzhi does not want to alert the enemy so quickly.

Now that Jiang Yanran is in trouble, Zhao Wan is missing, and Jiang Qingyuan is unable to take care of himself, it is already enough to make Jiang Shiyan overwhelmed. Add to that the fabricated letter of denunciation by Shen Nanzhi, and Jiang Shiyan will certainly not be able to sit still.

It depends on what he does next.

Shen Nanzhi asked his uncle for two secret guards yesterday, and they have been closely monitoring Jiang Shiyan's movements in the past few days.

I can always wait until he reveals his true colors.

If he could still keep his composure, Shen Nanzhi would add fuel to the fire.

It's just that my mother is wronged, but she has to put up with him for a few more days.

"fine."

Shen Yanxin hugged Shen Nanzhi back and sighed, "I can also take advantage of what he said to you outside the city and make a fuss about it, so that he will think that I am still angry. Don't worry, mother is not as weak as you think."

As she spoke, Shen Yanxin smiled. She let go of Shen Nanzhi, looked her up and down, and then said, "Tell me the truth, mother. Is it really your intention to marry the King of Zhenbei?"

Although they had only met a few times, Shen Yanxin felt that Xiao Chuyun was a man with a mind as deep as the ocean. Looking at his previous experiences, it took a lot of strength of character for him to get to this point.

Moreover, he is definitely not a good person.

She was afraid that her children would be deceived, used, or wronged.

If she were an ordinary noble family, or married into a lower class family, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would still support her, and no one could bully her.

But the other party is the King of Zhenbei, even if he is from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, he may not take him seriously.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry, mother, the prince treats me very well."

As she spoke, she took out the token Xiao Chuyun had given her from her arms.

Shen Yanxin understood at a glance.

She held Shen Nanzhi's hand and said with relief: "In this case, mother has nothing to say. The only thing I am worried about now is that the Seventh Prince is still determined to take revenge."

Let's not talk about anything else, just say that at that critical moment yesterday he sent his confidant to give gifts to Shen Nanzhi, which was equivalent to publicly expressing his attitude towards Shen Nanzhi. But soon after, Shen Nanzhi was married to Xiao Chuyun, which was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

Thinking of this, Shen Yanxin couldn't help but ask curiously: "It's strange, didn't everyone say before that the emperor always favored the Seventh Prince the most? If both princes were interested in you at the same time, why would the emperor agree to the proposal of the King of Zhenbei since he favored the Seventh Prince more?"

This is also something that Shen Nanzhi can't understand.

She should have asked Xiao Chuyun about it today, but when she was in the carriage, she herself didn't know what was going on and her mind was a mess.

Thinking back on it now, she still felt her ears burning, especially when she thought of Xiao Chuyun's fingers brushing against her ears, and the scorching heat of his palm covering hers.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi was suddenly stunned.

wrong.

Xiao Chuyun has been suffering from a cold these days. Logically, his body should be as cold as ice and piercing to the bone.

Just like yesterday, when she held his arms and lower back, she felt so cold.

However, today his fingertips and palms were burning hot.

Not right.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi could no longer sit still. She hurriedly said goodbye to Shen Yanxin, went all the way back to her yard, and found Lu Pianpian to ask.

After hearing her description, Lu Pianpian exclaimed: "Sister Zhizhi, what did you say? The prince's body is hot?"

Although this may not be wrong, Shen Nanzhi still corrected him: "I don't know about his body, but his fingers and palms are very hot."

Thinking back now, when I saw him in the carriage, his face seemed even paler than yesterday.

Lu Pianpian was spinning in circles in a hurry.

Shen Nanzhi pressed her shoulders and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Pianpian then said, "Sister Zhizhi, you don't know that the so-called cold poison, when it takes effect, is just as its name suggests, the whole person feels like falling into an ice cellar, which is normal, but once the body reaches its limit, it will become hot and make people feel like they are in a world of ice and fire."

Shen Nanzhi frowned: "So, the prince's body has reached...the limit? Is his life in danger?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Nanzhi felt as if something was blocking his chest, making him feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

Lu Pianpian nodded and sighed, "It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a matter of life and death. It didn't seem that bad yesterday, but it's only been one night, and I don't know what happened."

Shen Nanzhi's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone.

After Xiao Chuyun was summoned to the palace yesterday, there has been no news since then.

Could it be that it has something to do with the Emperor?

She should have thought of it earlier. The emperor was suspicious by nature, so how could he grant the marriage so easily?

Shen Nanzhi couldn't sit still any longer and turned around to walk out.

But after taking two steps, Lu Pianpian grabbed his sleeve.

"Sister Zhizhi, you can't do anything if you go. Now we can only rely on the prince's own perseverance to get through this. I think since he didn't take the initiative to mention it, one is that he is afraid that you will worry, and two is that he should be somewhat confident. If you go, it will distract him."

What Lu Pianpian said makes sense.

Shen Nanzhi paused, but she really couldn't let it go.

At this time, Qiuyue came in quickly from outside, "Miss, someone just brought a message saying that the prince encountered trouble in the south of the city, and it seems to be related to the third daughter of the Wen family. Miss, please go over. Although the person who delivered the message is not from our Shen family, he has the prince's token."

As she spoke, Qiuyue handed the jade pendant to Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed his uncle's personal jade pendant.

Although Shen Nanzhi felt it was a bit strange that his uncle could not have encountered any trouble, he thought that maybe Miss Wen San had encountered some problems, and as a man, it was not easy for his uncle to intervene, so it was reasonable for him to call Shen Nanzhi to help out.

Hearing that the matter was urgent, Shen Nanzhi did not dare to delay. However, before going there according to the address, Shen Nanzhi was careful to bring two more secret guards and sent someone else to the Dali Temple to look for his uncle.

She only brought Qiuyue and Asi with her. Asi drove the carriage and followed the address left by the man.

That place was in Wuyi Lane in the south of the city. There was nothing special about it. But it was not until they arrived at the house that Qiuyue opened the curtain of the carriage. The moment Shen Nanzhi saw the slender figure standing at the door, her whole body froze, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

In an instant, all the blood in Shen Nanzhi's body seemed to solidify.

What flashed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope of colours was the slender figure of the girl in front of me.

That was the nightmare that haunted Shen Nanzhi for countless nights, and it made her tremble uncontrollably even when she thought about it.

It’s not because this girl had done anything to Shen Nanzhi, but because she had seen Shen Nanzhi’s most embarrassing and unbearable side.

It’s the house right in front of you!

On the eve of her cousin Shen Chang'an's return to the court, the emperor passed away, and Xiao Qi'an, who had been appointed as the crown prince, took charge of the government.

At that time, my grandfather could not bear the blow of my mother's death, his condition worsened and he was dying, so my aunts rushed back to the old house in Jiangnan overnight.

Shen Nanzhi was originally going to go with them, but suddenly an imperial decree came from the palace. Xiao Qian'an wanted her to enter the palace to preside over the emperor's funeral. She could not disobey the order, so Shen Nanzhi could only let her aunts go back first. She hurried to the palace, but what she was waiting for was a cup of poisoned wine from Xiao Qian'an.

When she woke up again, she, the future Crown Princess, had her tendons in her hands and feet cut by Jiang Yanran and was imprisoned here!

At that time, the only person she could come into contact with was the maid named Xiaodie in front of her.

Shen Nanzhi still doesn't know the true identities of Jiang Shiyan and Jiang Qingyuan, father and son. Her uncle and mother died tragically one after another, her cousin was ordered to lead the army to war, and her aunts all rushed back to Jiangnan. The only person she can ask for help is her biological father Jiang Shiyan.

She held on to her only hope and took great pains to persuade Xiaodie to help her pass the message to them, hoping that they would come to rescue her.

As a result, the news was only delivered to Jiang Qingyuan. She was put in such a situation by Jiang Yanran, but in return Jiang Qingyuan said something extremely cold: Yanran must have her reasons for doing this.

And Xiaodie, who risked her life to deliver a letter to Shen Nanzhi, was beaten to death by them shortly after she brought back this sentence.

Moreover, it happened in front of Shen Nanzhi.

That day, Shen Nanzhi was lying in a rotten and smelly woodshed, covered in blood, and watched Xiaodie die in front of her.

Anger, hatred, unwillingness and despair almost drove Shen Nanzhi crazy at that moment.

It was also on that day that Jiang Yanran completely lost her patience. She personally fed her a mute drug and muscle-softening powder, and ordered people to nail her into the coffin of a concubine who was buried alive with the emperor.

The darkness and despair that were engraved deep in his memory suddenly surged up in his mind again the moment he saw Xiaodie.

Shen Nanzhi's blood was boiling, and before he could suppress it, a fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged into his throat.

A mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out of my heart.

Fortunately, she took out the handkerchief in time and suppressed it.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Qiuyue, who had no idea what was going on, saw Shen Nanzhi's pale face and asked with concern: "But what's wrong with your body?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head.

She clutched the blood-stained handkerchief in her palm and looked up at the house in front of her.

Today, she is no longer the poor little girl who fell into the mud and was trampled on by others, but the lingering memories and nightmares still make her heart numb.

Moreover, compared to this, how could my uncle invite her here? And it was also related to Miss Wen San.

Shen Nanzhi felt uneasy.

There's no doubt that there's a trap here.

She subconsciously took a step back, wondering who would lead her here, but she saw Xiaodie, who had just been guarding the door, suddenly smiled at her: "Miss Shen, my master has been waiting for Miss Shen for a long time."

His son?

As soon as she finished speaking, the gate behind Xiaodie was suddenly opened, and Xiao Qian'an, dressed in a dark cloud-patterned brocade suit, walked out of the courtyard.

He had a cold temperament, and every move he made carried a natural sense of oppression; even just a glance from him could make people feel a little breathless.

That noble aura was totally out of place in this remote and dilapidated house.

But he seemed not to care at all, and just kept his eyes fixed on Shen Nanzhi.

"Zhizhi, long time no see."

As he said this, he curled his lips into a smile.

His already handsome face now looked more evil and paranoid.

He said, long time no see.

Shen Nanzhi felt a little panic and uneasy for no reason. She vaguely felt that even though it was just four words, he seemed to have something else to say.

Moreover, the moment Shen Nanzhi saw him appear here, the blood in his body seemed to run cold in an instant.

It's not because of fear.

Now, even if there were no secret guards hiding in the dark who could tip off at any time, she could still escape with her own lightness skills.

She was surprised how Xiao Qian knew this place.

Besides, what is he doing waiting here?

Also, why was he able to hold her uncle's personal jade pendant? Could it be that something happened to her uncle?

Shen Nanzhi's uneasiness grew stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but become a little wary when facing Xiao Qian'an's eyes.

"Seventh Prince."

But on the surface, you still have to step forward and greet.

However, Shen Nanzhi stopped seven feet away from him.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince invited me here in the name of my uncle. What's the reason?"

Xiao Qi'an did not answer Shen Nanzhi's words, but turned around and walked into the yard.

Seeing that Shen Nanzhi didn't catch up, Xiao Qian turned back to look at her, and said gently: "Miss Shen, don't you want to know where this is?"

If possible, Shen Nanzhi didn't want to at all.

She did not move her feet, her face was alert, and she said distantly: "I have something important to do. If His Highness the Seventh Prince has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."

But before Shen Nanzhi could stand up, Xiao Qian'an suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Shen, what are you afraid of? Does this place have any bad memories for Miss Shen?"

Just one sentence, like a sharp arrow, instantly hit Shen Nanzhi's heart.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qian'an. The other party was still calm and confident, but if you look closely, it seems that there is a bit more pressure and murderous aura of someone who has been in a superior position for a long time compared to Shen Nanzhi's memory.

With this kind of aura, he looks more like a king who has already monopolized power rather than a young prince full of high spirits.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Shen Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat.
