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

Xiao Qian'an's face became increasingly uglier.

He glanced at the Queen Mother coldly, then turned to Xiao Chuyun and said coldly: "She just made up a story, and you believed it? Aren't you afraid that if things get out of hand, everyone will be in trouble?"

Xiao Chuyun held Shen Nanzhi's hand and walked forward calmly, not taking the swords of the two men in black in front of him seriously at all.

"I didn't do it, so why should I be afraid?"

He said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "It's obviously you who are afraid. You are worried about losing the support of the Zhou family, and you are also afraid of losing the help of the Princess's Mansion and the Lin family. You are obviously disgusted by this behavior, but you still want to cover it up against your will. Xiao Qian, you are so pathetic."

Hearing this, Xiao Qi'an couldn't help but sneer and said, "I am pathetic? Do you know what will happen if the Zhou family has second thoughts?"

Xiao Chuyun curled his lips and smiled: "Do you think I care?"

With just one sentence, Xiao Qian was rendered speechless.

The Queen Mother on the bamboo couch said fearlessly, "Could it be that you still want to investigate me? I just kept a few male favorites. Even if you investigate thoroughly, it will only bring shame to your royal family."

Xiao Chuyun held the stone between his fingers and said in a cold tone, "Grandmother, you are wrong. I don't care how many male favorites you want to keep. I don't care how the royal family loses face. I only know that the Shen family cannot be touched."

The Queen Mother killed Yao Zheng and put the blame on Shen Changan, wanting to kill Shen Changan and throw dirty water on the Shen family, thereby doing the Emperor a favor.

Just for this reason, Xiao Chuyun would not tolerate her.

After saying that, he moved his fingertips slightly and threw the stone casually.

The small stone, which seemed to be thrown without any effort, carried the force of thunder and instantly hit the bamboo couch where the empress dowager was half lying.

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

The soft couch made of Wenzhu exploded the moment it was hit. The bamboo strips instantly turned into hundreds of pieces and blew all over the Queen Mother.

The edges of those fragments were as sharp as blades, and the Queen Mother was originally wearing a barely-there Xiangyun gauze.

In the blink of an eye, her silk gauze dress was torn by the splinters of bamboo, and even her body was covered with scars.

Although the wound didn't look deep, the blood all over his body looked extremely scary.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

The empress dowager, who had been so soft and fearless just now, was now screaming in agony.

Xiao Chuyun's attack was swift, fierce and accurate. Not to mention Xiao Qian'an, even the two guards closest to Xiao Chuyun had not yet reacted.

The empress dowager's face, which had been originally well-maintained, was instantly cut with several bloody scars. In some places, even the flesh was lifted up, which looked extremely horrible.

She curled up on the ground, covering her eyes in pain, and screamed, "Xiao Chuyun! How dare you! I will kill you! I will cut you into pieces! You dare to lay a hand on me! Your father will not let you go!"

Xiao Chuyun didn't even look at her miserable state, and said calmly: "Grandmother, you won't think that I only interrogated Gao Jingwen last night, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Qian'an was the first to react. He frowned and looked at Xiao Chuyun: "What else did you do?"

Otherwise, Xiao Chuyun wouldn't be so confident.

Xiao Chuyun moved his wrist, and a seal fell out of his sleeve and landed directly at the Queen Mother's feet.

It is Zhou Yunxian’s private seal.

Zhou Yunxian was the only son of Yuzhou Mu and the nephew of the Empress Dowager.

Seeing the seal, the Queen Mother's face changed drastically, and she immediately frowned and asked, "What did you do to Yunxian?"

Xiao Chuyun smiled faintly: "It's nothing, but all the evidence of Zhou Yunxian's corruption and bribery of court officials was presented to the emperor. Grandmother, you might as well guess that after the emperor sees these things from your good nephew, will he still trust the Zhou family without any grudges?"

The Shen family, who had done nothing, was feared and plotted against by the emperor, let alone the Zhou family, who had done so many things.

Even if they did this for the purpose of self-protection, it was enough to make the emperor uneasy.

The empress dowager, who was originally filled with hatred, was stunned when she heard these words.

Her parents' family, whom she relies on, are now unable to take care of themselves. If she causes trouble at this time, it will only add fuel to the fire.

The Queen Mother was speechless, but she couldn't just watch Xiao Chuyun leave.

Furious, she turned to look at Xiao Qian: "Why are you still standing there? Kill them. As long as they die here, no one will know what happened today!"

However, Xiao Qian'an did not move at all.

Because he knew that even though there were many traps here, he couldn't kill Xiao Chuyun.

There is even a possibility of being killed by the opponent.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qian'an quickly stepped back a few steps. His guards had already heard the news and rushed over, protecting him.

However, Xiao Chuyun didn't even look at him. He just pulled Shen Nanzhi and walked out through the secret passage they came from as if no one was around.

The humiliation of being completely ignored made Xiao Qian'an furious, especially when he saw Shen Nanzhi following Xiao Chuyun without looking back, with such a determined look in her eyes, that Xiao Qian'an almost went crazy with jealousy.

Shen Nanzhi had walked a long way away, but she could still feel Xiao Qian'an's gaze on her as if it was real.

But she still didn't bother to even give him a glance.

When they returned to the room where Shen Nanzhi had eavesdropped at the beginning and smelled the fresh air outside, Shen Nanzhi felt that the depressed feeling in his chest had eased a little.

She was in mixed feelings and didn't bother to talk to Xiao Chuyun along the way.

When the two of them returned to the ground, Xiao Chuyun saw that Shen Nanzhi's expression had eased a little, and then he asked, "Were you scared just now?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head.

She wasn't scared, just a little worried, "Is this really okay?"

After all, she is the empress dowager. Xiao Chuyun took direct action like this. Even if she was extremely wrong, the emperor was such a suspicious person, how could he not think more about it?

When he was facing the Queen Mother and Xiao Qian'an in the secret passage at the same time, he was full of aura. But when he turned around and faced Shen Nanzhi, his eyebrows were gentle and his eyes were smiling, without any trace of the cold and murderous look just now.

It seemed as if just now in the secret passage, there was an unparalleled master who could kill or destroy people with just a stone in the middle of a conversation, but it was just an illusion caused by Shen Nanzhi's dazzled eyes.

Hearing Shen Nanzhi's words, Xiao Chuyun smiled. He pulled Shen Nanzhi out and asked instead of answering, "Even if we don't do anything, won't the emperor think too much?"

Of course not.

Even though the Shen family was so law-abiding, they still couldn't escape the emperor's schemes.

What’s more, Xiao Chuyun.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi was thinking about something, Xiao Chuyun continued, "Since you can't escape suspicion whether you do it or not, why worry too much? The worst that can happen is that the table will be overturned, and no one will be in trouble."

Shen Nanzhi understood instantly.

That's why Xiao Chuyun wanted to drag the Zhou family into the water. In this way, the Shen family, the Xie family, the Zhou family, and Xiao Chuyun, there would be no one in Da Qi that the dog emperor could feel at ease with.

He can't trust anyone, so for the sake of checks and balances, he naturally dares not offend anyone rashly.

This is a solution to the current problem.

Thinking of Zhou Yunxian, Shen Nanzhi asked curiously, "When the prince saw the silk handkerchief last night, he had already guessed this and made arrangements immediately?"

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Zhou Yunxian’s affairs were exposed at this critical juncture.

Xiao Chuyun smiled and said patiently, "Yes, Yao Zheng's incident was obviously aimed at the Shen family. When I saw the silk handkerchief, I thought it must be related to the Queen Mother and the Zhou family, so I immediately sent someone to give the order."

However, this speed is too fast!

To thoroughly investigate the only son of a provincial governor is not something that can be done overnight, unless... he has been planning it long ago.

As if seeing what Shen Nanzhi was thinking, Xiao Chuyun said frankly: "The moment Miss Shen agreed to marry me, I promised to protect Miss Shen and the Shen family, and I already had a plan in mind at that time."

It was also from that time that he asked people to secretly investigate the Zhou family.

Shen Nanzhi was a little surprised.

It turned out that he had kept his promise to her in his heart since then.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Nanzhi was so moved that she didn't know what to say except thank you.

Xiao Chuyun just smiled, took her hand naturally, and led her out of the inner courtyard.

This was no longer a secret passage, so there was no need to follow closely. Shen Nanzhi could walk by herself, but Xiao Chuyun held her hand and had no intention of letting go. Shen Nanzhi originally wanted to break free.

After all, there were many people outside the hot spring villa. If others saw them being so intimate as if no one was around, Shen Nanzhi would feel embarrassed.

Moreover, even if the two were engaged, this would not make sense.

Shen Nanzhi thought that Xiao Chuyun, a man of good manners and chastity, would not be unaware of this. He must have gotten used to holding her hand in the secret passage, so even after coming out, it was natural for him to hold her hand and lead her out.

Maybe he himself doesn't even realize it.

Shen Nanzhi was about to speak up to remind him, but saw Xiao Chuyun's body suddenly sway slightly, and he staggered and almost lost his balance.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He supported his palm with his backhand and used his other hand to protect his lower back in time, barely supporting his body.

"Your Majesty?"

Shen Nanzhi held Xiao Chuyun's hand, supported him, and asked nervously: "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Chuyun's face was a little pale, but his eyes were still gentle. Seeing Shen Nanzhi's worry, he comforted Shen Nanzhi: It's okay, it's just that I walked a little too long today. "

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at his legs, with a look of slight shame on his face.

Only then did Shen Nanzhi react.

The secret passage was long, narrow and winding. Her legs were a little sore after walking in it for so long. What's more, Xiao Chuyun had an old injury on his leg, which made it difficult for him to walk.

Lu Pianpian once said that if a normal person were like Xiao Chuyun, he would have collapsed on the rattan chair and would be unable to move. Even taking two steps would feel like walking on a knife edge and he would not be able to hold on.

But Xiao Chuyun accompanied her for such a long time today.

But he had no complaints, and even on the surface he still looked calm and composed.

Shen Nanzhi blamed herself a lot.

She should have discovered it earlier.

They had not yet left the outer courtyard of the hot spring villa, so naturally they could not find anyone under their command to help.

Shen Nanzhi said seriously: "I will support the prince, and the prince can put his weight on me as much as possible. I am strong, it's okay."

As she spoke, she took Xiao Chuyun's arm and put it on her shoulder, and her other hand firmly protected Xiao Chuyun's lower back.

Although it was not logical, Xiao Chuyun had done so much for her and the Shen family, so Shen Nanzhi had no time to care about anything else at this moment.

She just didn't want Xiao Chuyun to endure this torture alone, and it would be good if she could relieve his pain.

"Miss Shen..."

Xiao Chuyun frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "If someone sees us, it will be bad for Miss Shen's reputation... I will be able to get out soon. I can grit my teeth and hold on. I'm fine."

As he said this, he was about to stand up straight and avoid Shen Nanzhi's support.

After he said this, Shen Nanzhi felt even more ashamed. Even at this moment, Xiao Chuyun was still thinking about her.

Shen Nanzhi quickly shook her head: "We are already engaged, and others can't say anything, and the prince's health is more important."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Chuyun to refuse, Shen Nanzhi directly took Xiao Chuyun's arm and walked forward.

Because she was looking at the road, Shen Nanzhi did not see the smile on Xiao Chuyun's lips at that moment.

Her height is already top-notch among women, but she is still a head shorter than Xiao Chuyun, who is taller and has longer legs.

The top of Shen Nanzhi's hair just reached Xiao Chuyun's earlobe.

She was just walking forward and didn't notice that the strands of hair on her temples were brushing against Xiao Chuyun's neck and cheeks from time to time.

The girl's spring clothes were thin, and her cheeks were a little red due to sweating.

It makes her already bright and beautiful face even more charming and stunning, and one glance at her is enough to make people fall in love with her completely.

Invisibly, it already carries a charming aura that captivates the soul.

In order to lend a helping hand to Xiao Chuyun, Shen Nanzhi leaned almost half of his body against Xiao Chuyun.

The soft and delicate touch, along with a hint of cool fragrance, invaded Xiao Chuyun's lungs.

Even someone as cool and self-possessed as Xiao Chuyun lost his breathing at this moment.

He couldn't help but tense up his mind, and subconsciously clenched his fist with the hand hanging at his side, barely suppressing the emotions that were almost out of control.

There are guards outside.

But compared to when Shen Nanzhi sneaked in, now they have already "dealt with" the real boss, so there is no need to care about these guards.

Moreover, the people inside should have spread the news, because they walked out of the main gate without any guards coming to stop them.

When she returned to the Liu family villa again, before she even reached the door, Shen Nanzhi saw Mo Yi driving a carriage outside the yard and looking around.

Seeing them, Mo Yi hurriedly drove the carriage over.

Shen Nanzhi helped Xiao Chuyun get on the carriage, and then said, "I'll go find Sister Jingya first."

It’s getting late, and I’m afraid the city gates will be closed by the time I get back.

But with Xiao Chuyun here, there is no need to worry about not being able to enter the city.

After saying that, Shen Nanzhi turned around and saw Liu Jingya trotting towards him from the yard: "Sister Zhizhi!"

She looked anxious and uneasy. She was out of breath because she ran so fast. "You're finally back! Did you find that troublemaker?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi was suddenly stunned.

Oh my god! How could she forget about Lin Lanyin!

Originally, she looked at the footprints left on the wall, and based on Lin Lanyin's unusual behavior, she guessed that Lin Lanyin must have discovered something unusual about the hot spring villa and sneaked over to check it out out of curiosity. Shen Nanzhi thought she could meet Lin Lanyin there.

But Shen Nanzhi had gone around the hot spring villa, whether it was the secret passages above or below, but there was no sign of Lin Lanyin.

Since there is no hot spring villa, where else can she go?
