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

Even if Liu Jingya and Lin Lanyin didn't get along, she was extremely anxious at this moment.

Shen Nanzhi thought that he should take advantage of the fact that Xiao Qian'an was still in the Hot Spring Villa and send someone to deliver a message to him, asking his men to search the Hot Spring Villa from top to bottom.

Shen Nanzhi might not believe Xiao Qian'an about other things, but when it comes to finding Lin Lanyin, Shen Nanzhi knows that he will try his best.

Because he still has the support of the *** government and the Lin family, he is definitely the person who least wants to see Lin Lanyin get into trouble.

Shen Nanzhi was about to send someone over when he heard someone exclaiming not far away: "The princess is back!"

Shen Nanzhi and Liu Jingya hurriedly followed.

Before they got close, they saw Lin Lanyin, who was dirty as if she had fallen into a mud pit. She was covered in dust and was limping towards them with the support of a maid.

Seeing them, Lin Lanyin was obviously a little embarrassed. She turned her face away and said embarrassedly: "I just slipped accidentally..."

Hearing this, Liu Jingya, who had been so anxious to find her, was so angry that she immediately mocked, "Yeah, you just accidentally avoided everyone, accidentally climbed over the wall and ran out, and accidentally fell into a pit!"

Lin Lanyin knew she was in the wrong, and she looked a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said awkwardly, "I didn't want to cause trouble for you, so I wanted to sneak in through the back door to the villa to see if the craftsmen over there were lazy, cheating their superiors and delaying the construction period, or if there was some other reason that caused the villa to be unusable. How could I know that there was a trap at the back door over there, and I accidentally... I fell into it..."

After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi had no choice but to understand.

It was almost the same as she guessed. Lin Lanyin also noticed the weirdness of the hot spring villa, so she decided to sneak out and go over to take a look.

But she didn't expect that she, who had no martial arts skills, triggered the mechanism as soon as she approached the back door and fell directly into the pit.

Fortunately, the mechanism on the periphery is simple and has no killing moves, it is just a trap. If it were a mechanism like the Seven Killing Formation, Lin Lanyin's body would probably have stiffened by now.

Shen Nanzhi pulled Liu Jingya's sleeve and told her to calm down: "In this case, let's pack up and go back quickly. It's not easy to walk at night."

Liu Jingya certainly understood this logic. She was just a little angry that Lin Lanyin was so willful. She went out without even saying hello and didn't even take the maid with her. Fortunately, she just sprained her foot. If something really went wrong, she and Shen Nanzhi would be implicated in the end.

I get very angry when I think of Liu Jingya.

She held Shen Nanzhi's hand in return and said, "Let's go. Let's not bother with her. Next time we go out, we won't bring her with us."

As she spoke, she pulled Shen Nanzhi up and was about to get on the carriage, only to notice that the Zhenbei Palace's carriage was also there.

Not only the carriage of the Zhenbei Palace, but also Xiao Chuyun's entourage, and even the curtain of the carriage was floating in the wind, creating a small gap through which one could just see the handsome Xiao Chuyun sitting in the carriage.

"Your Majesty?"

Liu Jingya was a little surprised, and subconsciously turned to look at Shen Nanzhi: "Is the prince here to see you?"

Although it was true, Liu Jingya's direct gaze made Shen Nanzhi's cheeks a little hot: "We met by chance."

Liu Jingya stretched out her voice, smiled and joked: "Oh - that's really a coincidence!"

Shen Nanzhi blushed a little and immediately grabbed her sleeve, "Hurry up and get in the car. It will be dark if you stay a little later. Be careful of wild wolves."

As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi waved at Mo Yi, signaling them to go ahead.

Seeing this, Liu Jingya couldn't help but laugh and said, "With the prince accompanying me, I won't be afraid of wild wolves, let alone wild men!"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister Jingya, you actually believe in the prince."

Liu Jingya nodded and said with certainty: "Of course, that's the dignified King of Zhenbei!"

After saying that, Liu Jingya said with admiration, "It was the King of Zhenbei who, at the age of only sixteen, led a cavalry to charge into the enemy's hinterland, cut off the fire from the bottom of the pot, and turned the defeat into victory! With such a person accompanying me, I am not afraid even if the king of heaven comes!"

I didn't expect Liu Jingya to speak so highly of Xiao Chuyun, but Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but joked: "It seems that Sister Jingya has really taken her studies seriously recently. These words have come out one after another. It's a pity for you not to tell stories with such eloquence!"

Liu Jingya was in high spirits, and when Shen Nanzhi teased her like this, she couldn't help but punch Shen Nanzhi's arm with her fist, pretending to be angry and said, "This is really a false sisterhood, and you're teasing me! You can't hope for any good from me, and you're still thinking about me being locked up by my mother to study!"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

The two of them had a big fight.

However, although she was joking with Liu Jingya, Shen Nanzhi felt indescribably happy when she heard others praising Xiao Chuyun like this.

Moreover, although Shen Nanzhi was familiar with Xiao Chuyun's past achievements, he also knew how powerful this man was.

However, probably because of seeing how sickly he looked, and thinking of the cold poison and leg injury in his body, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously did not associate him with the legendary powerful and invincible King of Zhenbei.

After seeing him take action today and seeing the arrangements he made in preparation for a rainy day, Shen Nanzhi realized that he had always underestimated him.

Even though he was infected with a cold poison and had a leg injury that limited his performance, Xiao Chuyun was far more powerful than she had imagined.

Whether it is force or strategy.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi asked A Si, who was about to get in the car, to pick up a stone on the roadside for her.

Shen Nanzhi imitated Xiao Chuyun and held it at her fingertips. Even though she gathered her inner strength in her hand and smashed it out, in the end she didn't even hit a blade of grass.

How could Xiao Chuyun handle such a small stone so calmly and effortlessly?

Not to mention anything else, his internal strength alone is far beyond Shen Nanzhi's reach.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi recalled that she had stood in front of him before, shamelessly saying that she would protect him...

It’s just a fool’s errand!

Just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed.

However, Shen Nanzhi quickly made up for herself, saying that Xiao Chuyun was seriously injured at that time and it should have been difficult for him to fight against the enemy, so it was not too embarrassing for her.

Just thinking of Xiao Chuyun's injury at that time, Shen Nanzhi's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the day when she was reborn and met Xiao Chuyun at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

At that time, he and Xiao Qian'an had just returned from investigating a case in Jiangbei and were chased by the Second Prince's men. Both of them were seriously injured and their lives were hanging by a thread.

Shen Nanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now after seeing Xiao Chuyun's attack, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but be curious about what kind of expert the Second Prince sent to injure Xiao Chuyun like that.

Before Shen Nanzhi could think about it, the carriage suddenly sank.

Lin Lanyin, supported by her maid, also got on their carriage.

Because it was getting late and the Zhenbei Palace's carriage was already waiting out front, Asi did not dare to delay and immediately raised the reins and hurried on his way.

Shen Nanzhi and Liu Jingya were fine, but Lin Lanyin was suffering because she had sprained her ankle and was sore all over.

Because of the pain, Lin Lanyin's spoiled temper came up, and she immediately said unhappily: "Can you ask your driver to go slower!"

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, Liu Jingya could not help but roll her eyes: "If you think it's too fast, just go down and walk on your own! It's getting dark now. If you walk at night later, be careful of the evil spirits that may come looking for you!"

Frightened by her like this, Lin Lanyin didn't dare to say anything else.

She held the frame of the car tightly with both hands. Her eyes were red with pain due to the bumps. She turned her head away stubbornly and aggrievedly and cried silently, looking quite pitiful.

Shen Nanzhi didn't have much hatred towards Lin Lanyin.

Shen Nanzhi had fought back against Lin Lanyin for all the bullying she had done to her. Now Lin Lanyin was more grateful to her and didn't seem to want to target her anymore.

But their different positions meant that they were destined to be impossible to become friends.

However, hearing her crying like this made Shen Nanzhi feel a little annoyed. He turned around and took out a quilt and two soft pillows from the secret compartment in the ground and handed them to Lin Lanyin, letting her spread them under her body. She felt less uncomfortable and stopped crying. She said awkwardly, "Thank...thank you very much. I will give you a thank you gift later..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Jingya waved her hand and said, "Stop it. Please don't bother Sister Zhizhi anymore. This is the best way to thank her."

Hearing this, Lin Lanyin's eyes were filled with tears. She turned to look at Shen Nanzhi: "Do you think so too?"

The usually spoiled and domineering little princess is now looking at Shen Nanzhi eagerly with an expectant and nervous look on her face, which is really easy to make people soften their hearts.

But Shen Nanzhi just shook his head and said calmly, "The princess is a princess of wealth and status. If anything goes wrong, we really can't afford it."

Having said that, how could Lin Lanyin not hear that this was Shen Nanzhi's excuse and rejection.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned her head awkwardly and said in a muffled voice: "Who wants to follow you! It's not like I, Lin Lanyin, don't have friends!"

But even though she said this so proudly, she couldn't stop her tears.

Even Liu Jingya, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, couldn't stand this and subconsciously turned her head to glance at Shen Nanzhi.

But Shen Nanzhi could only sigh helplessly.

Sooner or later, the situation between her and Xiao Qian'an would end in a life-and-death struggle.

Therefore, there would naturally be no possibility of reconciliation between her and the Lin family, the family behind Xiao Qian'an.

Plus there was the Queen Mother incident today.

They must have hated Shen Nanzhi to the core.

Only Lin Lanyin doesn't know about it for the time being.

To take a step back, even if she knew about it in the future and was still willing to be on good terms with Shen Nanzhi, Shen Nanzhi would have to be careful because of the hostile stance between him and her closest family members.

Jiang Yanran’s lesson, once is enough.

Therefore, instead of wasting time and energy on carefully dealing with this, it is better to draw a clear line from the beginning.

Save time, effort and worry.

The three of them didn't speak any more during the rest of the journey. Although they were in a hurry, by the time they returned to the city, it was already dark and the city gates had been closed for a long time.

Fortunately, Xiao Chuyun was there, and the general guarding the city opened the side gate and let them go back.

Xiao Chuyun had important business to attend to at the Dali Temple, and it was not on their way, so after entering the city gate, he said hello to Shen Nanzhi and went on his own.

Shen Nanzhi sent Liu Jingya and Lin Lanyin back separately before returning to the Shen family.

As soon as she entered the room, she went straight to Shen Huaishu's study without even bothering to change her clothes.

She had to quickly tell Shen Huaishu everything that happened in the hot spring villa today, including what the Queen Mother said, so that the Shen family could make some preparations in advance. They couldn't just rely on Xiao Chuyun, and they couldn't wait until the Emperor's knife was on the Shen family's neck before making plans.

Shen Nanzhi lifted her skirt and ran to the outside of the study. Before she got there, she heard people talking inside.

In addition to my uncle Shen Huaishu, there were several unfamiliar voices.

Shen Nanzhi did not rush in rashly. She first asked Zhou Fu, a servant beside her, and learned that they were from the Wen family of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and that they had been in there for a while. Shen Nanzhi did not go any further, but instead told her uncle to wait until he finished his work and then send someone to call her.

Shen Nanzhi returned to his own yard first. After washing up, he was just about to eat something to fill his stomach when he heard Qiuyu coughing beside him and glanced at the lotus seed soup next to Shen Nanzhi's hand.

When Shen Nanzhi raised her eyes, she saw Liu's mother standing behind the door not far away with a panicked look on her face, glancing at her dining table from time to time.

Shen Nanzhi sneered in her heart. Could it be that her good father couldn't sit still anymore?

But she looked as if nothing had happened and continued to eat other dishes without even touching the poisoned lotus seed soup.

When they were full and asked the maid to clear the table, Shen Nanzhi said casually, "I ate too much sweets today and I feel a little sick of them. I don't really want to eat this lotus seed soup. You can share it."

Hearing this, the clever Qiu Yu quickly smiled and said, "Miss, you complained about me gaining weight recently a few days ago. It's so late, I can't eat sweets anymore."

There are many maids working in Shen Nanzhi's courtyard, but there are only a few serving in her room. Qiuyue is recuperating from an illness, so only Qiuyu and Liu Mama are here these days.

After saying that, Qiu Yu turned to look at Mama Liu: "Mama Liu, you should eat. I see that Mama Liu has been working so hard lately and has lost weight. It's time to eat some more. Don't let the young lady down."

Before Mother Liu could speak, Shen Nanzhi turned to look at her and said, "That's right. Qiuyue is not here recently, and Qiuyu is following me everywhere. It's up to Mother Liu to take care of Haitang Courtyard."

Hearing this, Madam Liu panicked and almost fell down. She hurried over and bowed, saying, "I am old and it is easy for me to have indigestion if I eat too much at night. Thank you for the reward, Miss. Can I keep it for breakfast tomorrow?"

Shen Nanzhi waved her hand and said, "It's just a bowl of lotus seed soup. If it's spilled, it's spilled. I'll make it again tomorrow."

Hearing this, Mother Liu's expression visibly relaxed.

Shen Nanzhi allowed her to dump it out, which was easier than for her to do it secretly herself.

However, before she could completely relax, she heard Shen Nanzhi say, "Oh, by the way, I remember that grandma loved to eat this lotus seed soup the most, and she always had the habit of eating it as a midnight snack. Although my parents are divorced now, she is still my grandma after all. When I came back just now, I saw that the lanterns in the Jiang family yard were still lit. Grandma should not have gone to bed yet, so I troubled Mama Liu to make a trip."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Liu froze.
