Chapter 53 Shen Nanzhi's Pride
Hearing that voice, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but feel an instinctive disgust in his heart.
She didn't want to meet Xiao Qian'an at this time.
Even though she knew that Xiao Qian'an and the Princess' Mansion were also involved in this matter, and that Xiao Qian'an was safe now, she still didn't want to see him at this time.
At this time, the entire Mingyue Tower was engulfed in flames and people were everywhere.
Some were putting out the fire, some were escaping, some were looking for people, some were looking for water... the scene was a complete chaos.
Amid the cries, screams, and crackling sounds of burning flames, Shen Nanzhi immediately recognized it as Xiao Qian'an's voice.
Although he was reluctant to see her, it was indeed the safest thing to leave Lin Lanyin to Xiao Qian'an at this moment.
The streets were already in chaos, and the sound of uniform footsteps could be heard not far away, which must have alarmed the patrol camp.
Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi had calculated the distance in advance, and just as he was carrying Lin Lanyin, he fell into the courtyard under the corner tower next to Mingyue Tower. If he had fallen on the main street, he would have been trampled into a pulp by now.
But even so, the fall was still quite severe.
"Hey! Lin Lanyin!"
Shen Nanzhi felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and even his head was dizzy.
She gritted her teeth, propped herself up, and raised her hand to push Lin Lanyin.
Although the second floor was not very high, Shen Nanzhi still protected the back of Lin Lanyin's head when she fell, and Lin Lanyin only suffered some minor skin injuries at most.
But the precious Lin Lanyin had never been frightened like this before, and she fainted the moment she fell to the ground.
After being pushed twice by Shen Nanzhi and having a few acupoints pinched, she slowly woke up.
But she hadn't regained consciousness yet. Suddenly, she saw the flames rising to the sky above her head and Shen Nanzhi lying in front of her. Even though she was covered in dust, her eyes were as bright as stars in the light of the flames. Lin Lanyin subconsciously exclaimed, "I'm okay? You're not dead either?"
Shen Nanzhi clapped his hands in fear: "Yes, otherwise why do people say that the evil will last for thousands of years."
If it were any other time, Lin Lanyin would have been so angry that she would have jumped up and down, and Shen Nanzhi would have been waiting for her to leave quickly to find Xiao Qian'an so that she wouldn't have to carry such a burden with her. But this time, Lin Lanyin fell abnormally silent.
Until Shen Nanzhi urged: "It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go."
Lin Lanyin came back to her senses. She wanted to get up, but found that her ankle was in so much pain that it was difficult for her to even get up, let alone walk.
But this time, Lin Lanyin did not ask Shen Nanzhi for help. She turned her head away, feeling awkward for a long time before she managed to say, "Thank you."
But it happened that at this time, the guards from the Princess's Mansion came over. Lin Lanyin quickly responded, and a group of people rushed over and quickly protected Lin Lanyin among them.
Xiao Qian, who got the news, also hurried over.
As soon as they met, Lin Lanyin cried, "Seventh cousin...save me..."
She was indeed frightened, and even her voice was trembling.
When Xiao Qian came over, he only glanced at Lin Lanyin, then quickly scanned the entire place. The moment he didn't see Shen Nanzhi, his steps froze, and he frowned and looked at Lin Lanyin who had just been helped up, his voice terribly low: "Where's Shen Nanzhi? I'm asking you, where is Shen Nanzhi! How is she!"
Lin Lanyin had never seen him so ruthless before. She shrank back in fear, and Xiao Qian'an shook her shoulders before she recovered. She subconsciously looked behind her and choked up, "She was still here just now..."
How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Qian had already quickly chased after him.
"Seventh cousin!"
Lin Lanyin wanted to chase after him, but the piercing pain from her ankle suddenly woke her up.
Xiao Qian'an walked very quickly, and his back looked a little flustered.
It was as if the sky had fallen.
Lin Lanyin had never seen Xiao Qian'an show such an expression. When she thought of the huge difference between his attitude towards her and Shen Nanzhi, Lin Lanyin felt bitter in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.
But Xiao Qian didn't even look at her and ran out quickly.
Before he had taken a few steps, he saw Shen Nanzhi, who was staggering, walking out with the crowd.
Even though her hair was disheveled, her clothes were in a mess, and she looked like a delicate flower crushed into the mud, it was still difficult to conceal her extraordinary beauty.
With so many people coming and going, Xiao Qian'an saw her at a glance.
Her body had clearly reached its limit. Even her steps were a little unstable and she stumbled as she walked. It seemed that she was using great willpower to grit her teeth and persevere.
The crowds were flowing and the danger was still there, but even so, as soon as she heard that he was coming, she still forced her tired body to leave. Even if she had to face unknown risks alone, she refused to give in in front of him and refused to accept his protection.
The moment he saw her figure, Xiao Qian felt as if a piece of his heart was suddenly cut out by a knife.
It’s a piercing pain and biting cold.
The scorching fire wave rushed towards him, as if it was passing through his chest, but the area above his heart was empty.
Shen Nanzhi is such a proud little girl.
She is never willing to give in in front of outsiders, nor will she show weakness easily. Even if she falls into the dust, her pride will not be broken.
But, there was a time when she would cry out in pain and tiredness in front of him, and tell him about her grievances.
That's because she believed in him and had him in her heart, so she showed her softest and most vulnerable side to him.
And now...
Even though her body was almost at its limit, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Xiao Qian'an felt regretful and resentful, but he quickened his pace involuntarily, wanting to do his best to protect her in his arms.
He walked through the crowd, and just as his fingertips were about to reach the corner of her clothes, he saw Shen Nanzhi suddenly turned around and looked at him coldly.
Xiao Qi'an quickly explained: "Zhizhi, you are injured, I will take you back first."
However, Shen Nanzhi quickly stepped back and said coldly and distantly: "Don't worry, Your Highness. My guards are right in front."
When she fell down just now, she had already sent out the flag flowers that the Shen family used for communication, but now there was flames rising into the sky, and Shen Nanzhi was not sure whether the Shen family's secret guards could see it.
Even if she didn't see it, she could go back by herself.
As she said this, she turned around to leave, but Xiao Qian suddenly called her, "Zhizhi... I..."
His pair of black eyes stared at her closely, and there seemed to be emotions in his eyes that Shen Nanzhi could not understand.
It was at this time that Shen Nanzhi discovered that Xiao Qian'an, who was always calm and elegant, had his hair crown askew and even his collar was a little messy.
Moreover, his expression was the most desolate and embarrassed that Shen Nanzhi had never seen before.
Shen Nanzhi was just wondering what trick he was playing when suddenly a fleeing child accidentally bumped into her.
She was holding on by gritting her teeth and holding on, and the collision caused her to stagger and her whole body fell backward uncontrollably.
In order to avoid falling down in a miserable manner, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously turned his ankle and used the force to turn over, but at the moment of exerting force, his lower back suddenly sank.
A big hand supported her lower back, and then he put his arm around her shoulders and tried to lift her up sideways.
Shen Nanzhi only felt dizzy.
Sensing the man's intention, she quickly reached out her hand and pushed his chest in an attempt to increase the distance between them. However, when she looked up and saw Xiao Chuyun's handsome face, Shen Nanzhi was stunned: "Prince?"
Xiao Chuyun, why is he here?
Mingyue Tower had completely turned into a sea of fire. Under the flames that illuminated half the sky, Xiao Chuyun's deep and three-dimensional facial features looked even more handsome.
Seeing that it was him, Shen Nanzhi, who had already touched his chest and was about to push his hand away, couldn't help but retract her strength.
In just a moment, Xiao Chuyun had already put one hand around her shoulders and the other hand through her legs, and in the blink of an eye he held her tightly in his arms.
Shen Nanzhi's hand was still on his chest as if she was trying to push him away.
"Are you hurt?"
I don’t know if it was Shen Nanzhi’s illusion, but Xiao Chuyun’s eyes were not as gentle as usual, especially when he looked at Xiao Qian’an who followed closely behind him, there seemed to be a hint of cold murderous intent in his eyes.
Shen Nanzhi shook his head: "I'm fine."
She was just a little exhausted.
Originally, she could still grit her teeth and walk for a while, but the ordeal just now had used up the last bit of her strength.
If it were someone else, Shen Nanzhi would use up every bit of his strength to get up, even if it meant biting his tongue.
But for some reason, perhaps it was because Xiao Chuyun's embrace was too gentle at this moment, or perhaps it was because the cool scent of grass and wood on his body gave her enough sense of security, making her completely relaxed, Shen Nanzhi couldn't muster any strength at all.
However, when thinking of the poison in Xiao Chuyun's body, Shen Nanzhi shuddered and wanted to stick his head out of Xiao Chuyun's arms, and said nervously: "My lord, your injury..."
Xiao Chuyun lowered his eyes and looked at her.
In the flames, his eyes were gentle, "It's okay."
But when he turned around and faced Xiao Qian'an, he was not so easy to talk to.
"Please ask my seventh brother and the Princess's Mansion to give me and the Shen family an explanation for what happened today."
Seeing Shen Nanzhi being protected in Xiao Chuyun's arms, Xiao Qi'an frowned, his face was extremely ugly, but in the end he just looked at Xiao Chuyun coldly and gritted his teeth and said, "Of course."
Xiao Chuyun didn't look at him again. He turned around and walked away while holding Shen Nanzhi.
His steps were steady, but Shen Nanzhi's heart was beating fast.
Especially when thinking of his leg injury and the cold poison, Shen Nanzhi became more and more uneasy.
When she finally caught her breath and gathered some strength, she quickly raised her head from Xiao Chuyun's arms and said, "Your Majesty, I can walk by myself."
Xiao Chuyun paused, but did not let go of Shen Nanzhi immediately.
He lowered his head to look into Shen Nanzhi's eyes, frowned slightly and said, "Miss Shen is very repulsive to me?"
His voice was soft, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness.
In addition, those eyes, which were filled with starlight, were also filled with caution, which made Shen Nanzhi suddenly think of the black cat he raised - because it was regarded as unlucky and not tolerated by the world, he was afraid of being disliked by her, so he would only stretch out his claws to test cautiously, for fear that his actions would make her unhappy.
Shen Nanzhi's heart softened. She had gathered some strength to get down from his arms, but when the words came to her lips, she said, "No, I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will be tired."
As soon as the words came out, Shen Nanzhi realized what he had said and felt somewhat embarrassed.
Even if they are engaged, this action is too ambiguous.
Shen Nanzhi's old face was burning.
At this moment, Xiao Chuyun's eyes suddenly burst into thousands of smiles, and he said in a gentle and firm tone: "No, as long as it's Miss Shen, it will never happen."
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
What does Xiao Chuyun mean by this?
Shen Nanzhi subconsciously looked up at her, but he had already moved his gaze away from her face and was looking at the road ahead. From Shen Nanzhi's perspective, she could only see his smooth and handsome jaw slightly raised in an arc.
Shen Nanzhi's cheeks also became hot.
In order to stop himself from having wild thoughts, Shen Nanzhi recounted in detail everything that had happened along the way.
When he heard that she was abducted by Lin Lanyin and almost tortured, Xiao Chuyun's eyes turned cold. Even Shen Nanzhi, who was leaning in his arms, felt the coldness emanating from him.
She hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm not injured either. However, it may not be easy to find the mastermind behind today's incident."
A big fire can hide many things.
Although there are only a few suspects to choose from, it is not easy to find evidence.
That person knew about the grudge between her and Lin Lanyin, and took advantage of Lin Lanyin's desire to take revenge on her, which led to this incident and pinned the blame for her death on Lin Lanyin.
However, I don't know whether he simply wants to kill her, or wants to use her life to sow discord between the Princess's Mansion, Xiao Qian'an, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The key to the problem still needs to be investigated from Lin Lanyin or the Princess's Mansion.
However, no matter how you look at it, Xiao Qian'an is the victim, so I think he will spare no effort to investigate and will not deliberately cover up.
Most of the time, Xiao Chuyun listened to Shen Nanzhi silently, occasionally adding a few words.
In this way, Xiao Chuyun carried Shen Nanzhi all the way out of Baifu Street, and only met the carriage that came to pick her up at the intersection.
Xiao Chuyun carefully escorted her to the carriage. Just as Shen Nanzhi sat down, she saw Qiuyue, who had already burst into tears, kneeling on the ground.
"Miss!"
Seeing Shen Nanzhi in such a state of disgrace, Qiuyue burst into tears: "It's all my fault. I deserve to die. I have implicated the young lady!"
Shen Nanzhi waved her hand and said softly: "I don't blame you, just be more careful next time."
She still remembered that in her previous life, she didn't know that she had been poisoned by Jiang Yanran with the Detoxification Powder. During the Qiuwei, she was besieged by two black bears. She was poisoned and unable to resist. She was about to die in the mouths of the black bears. It was Qiuyue who risked her life to lead the black bears away for her.
She waited for reinforcements and managed to save her life, but Qiuyue didn't even have a complete body left...
In this life, she only wants Qiuyue to live well, even if it means putting herself in danger.
Shen Nanzhi was lost in thought when the carriage sank and Xiao Chuyun actually got on and sat next to her.
The carriage was not very spacious to begin with, and Xiao Chuyun was tall and strong with a strong presence. As soon as he got in, Shen Nanzhi felt that the air in the carriage had become a little thinner.
Her heart suddenly became nervous for no reason.
Just at this moment, Xiao Chuyun suddenly raised his hand and touched her cheek.
Shen Nanzhi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
