This was just a trigger.

Liu Jingya looked at Shen Nanzhi with admiration: "Sister Zhizhi is really amazing!"

After seeing what Shen Nanzhi did, she had already come out of her fear.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Sister Jingya is also very good."

This is what she means.

Thinking back to what happened in my previous life, how many people at that time and under that situation had the courage and perseverance that Liu Jingya had?

Liu Jingya thought Shen Nanzhi was comforting her, so she smiled and said, "I know you are comforting me. If I were half as good as you, my mother would wake up laughing in her dreams. But I am also happy to be comforted by you."

The two talked for a while, and soon, Concubine Liu Shu, who was summoned by Emperor Shunqing, came back.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi, Concubine Liu Shu said with gratitude, "In the past, I always heard Miss Shen's name from Jingya. Seeing her praising you endlessly, I thought she was exaggerating a little. Now that I have seen her, I know that what she said is true. She is even smarter and more clever than she said before."

Shen Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed by the praise from the aunt and nephew.

"You are joking, Madam Shufei. It was just a helpless act in a desperate situation. Thank you Madam Shufei for covering up for me today."

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Shu smiled and patted Shen Nanzhi on the shoulder and said, "I can't thank you enough. Today is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you..."

At this point, as if afraid of arousing Liu Jingya's pain, Concubine Liu Shu looked at Liu Jingya carefully, making sure that she looked normal and had not reacted excessively. Obviously, she had calmed down. Concubine Liu Shu said, "Anyway, the Liu family and I will remember this favor."

Liu Jingya nodded solemnly: "If Sister Zhizhi needs me in the future, just let me know!"

After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly, scratched the back of her head awkwardly and said, "However, I guess Sister Zhizhi is so smart that she probably won't need me one day."

Shen Nanzhi smiled and took her hand and said, "Who said that? I have many things to ask Sister Jingya for help with, and right now there is one."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Jingya's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "The Autumn Encounter will be held in a few days. I want to take Sister Jingya's carriage to go to the Autumn Encounter together."

At this point, Shen Nanzhi turned to explain to Concubine Liu Shu: "My mother and aunt think that since I have been granted marriage, I am a girl waiting to be married. They want me to calm down and learn some palace rules. They don't want me to show up in public or even steal the show, so..."

Before Shen Nanzhi finished speaking, Liu Jingya blinked and continued, "So you follow me quietly. When we get there, they can't ask you to go back home!"

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Yes, Sister Jingya is smart! Sister Jingya, please help me cover up a little when the time comes."

In fact, it was not her mother and aunts who stopped her. Shen Nanzhi just wanted to avoid the eyes and ears of the Jiang family so that it would be easier for her to act later. It was just that it was not convenient to say these words.

Before Concubine Liu Shu could speak, Liu Jingya patted her chest and promised, "It's just a small matter. How difficult is it? Leave it to me. I promise to bring you out quietly!"

Hearing this, even Concubine Liu Shu couldn't help but tease Liu Jingya, "It just so happens that you are proficient in this."

The implication is that when it comes to sneaking out of the house for fun, who can compare to Liu Jingya?

Liu Jingya blushed a little, and immediately pulled Concubine Liu Shu's sleeve, saying embarrassedly: "Aunt! This is not my fault, it's my mother who locked me up too harshly! But..."

Having said that, Liu Jingya, who had been smiling just now, instantly turned into a bitter face.

"After this incident, I'm afraid my mother will not let me go out anymore. I might not even be able to go to the autumn fair. I'll have to trouble my aunt to speak up for me then."

Concubine Liu Shu raised her hand and tapped the tip of Liu Jingya's nose, saying lovingly, "This is not a difficult thing. You just need to tell your mother that you want to go horseback riding with your cousin, and she will definitely agree."

When the fifth prince Xiao Ziyi was mentioned, Liu Jingya's expression did not relax because she could go out, but instead she frowned even more.

It can be seen that she was indeed not very satisfied with the matchmaking of the two elders.

She couldn't help but sigh, "It goes without saying that my aunt loves me. To my mother, my cousin is more important than me. If it weren't for the age difference between my cousin and me, I would even suspect that you took us by mistake."

Liu Jingya just complained casually, but she heard Concubine Liu Shu's face darken. She rarely frowned and scolded Liu Jingya: "Nonsense! How can you say such things? I think I really spoiled you. If you go out and talk without restraint, you will cause trouble sooner or later!"

Liu Jingya didn't take her scolding to heart at all, nor was she intimidated by her aura. She even made a face at her and waved her hand perfunctorily: "I know, I know, my dear aunt."

After saying that, she glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I should go back, otherwise my mother will be worried. And sister Zhizhi, you should also go back and have a good rest."

Concubine Liu glared at her and said, "You know your mother is worried. I thought you were heartless."

Seeing that she was about to continue scolding, Liu Jingya took Shen Nanzhi's hand and walked out: "Let's go!"

However, after taking two steps, she seemed to feel something was wrong and turned to look at Concubine Liu Shu: "Yes, sister Zhizhi is sick now and should not walk around, aunt."

Concubine Liu raised her chin and motioned her to look outside.

Liu Jingya then realized that the sedan chair had stopped at the door.

Ignoring Liu Jingya's flattering smile, Concubine Liu Shu turned to look at Shen Nanzhi: "The King of Zhenbei just brought a message. He is waiting for you outside the palace gate."

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Thank you, Madam Shufei, for your reminder."

After saying that, Shen Nanzhi followed Liu Jingya and left the main hall. The two were about to get on the sedan chair, but they saw the fifth prince Xiao Ziyi rushing over here.

I guess the banquet in Taiji Hall was over, and he came over to show his concern because he was worried about Liu Jingya.

But as soon as she saw him, Liu Jingya pulled Shen Nanzhi onto the sedan chair and urged the eunuch: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Ever since their marriage was made public, Liu Jingya has been like a mouse seeing a cat when she sees Xiao Ziyi.

Although she knew that Xiao Ziyi was not to blame, she really hadn't figured out how to face Xiao Ziyi.

The direction they left the palace was opposite to the direction Xiao Ziyi came from.

Xiao Ziyi, who had almost arrived at Jinxiu Palace, had not yet opened his mouth to greet Liu Jingya, but he saw several eunuchs carrying people, running very fast as if the wind was blowing.

The distance was not far, and it was not known whether Xiao Ziyi heard Liu Jingya's urging words. Shen Nanzhi turned around and saw that Xiao Ziyi did not catch up with them. He was just standing under the plaque of Jinxiu Palace, staring at the sedan chair they were riding in a daze.

Shen Nanzhi moved her lips, but before she could speak, Liu Jingya beside her could not help but sighed, "Life is so tiring, I want to go out and shave my head and become a nun."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not impossible, but I heard that after becoming a monk, you can't eat meat, so you can only eat vegetarian food in the future."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Jingya wailed: "It's better to kill me, forget it, it's better to get married than to become a nun!"

Unlike Lu Pianpian who eats everything, Liu Jingya simply cannot live without meat. Fortunately, she has a physique that doesn't grow meat, otherwise, as her mother said, she would have become a 300-pound fat girl.

Seeing that she had regained her former spirited appearance, Shen Nanzhi gradually felt relieved.

Liu Jingya is still as strong and mentally resilient as ever, and is not easily defeated.

At that time, I just hadn't recovered.

Putting aside his worries about Liu Jingya, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but think about other things.

Their sedan chair traveled from Jinxiu Palace to Zhengyang Gate, attracting countless people who were watching secretly along the way.

Shen Nanzhi had thought of it early on and had to put on a full show, so she declined Qingluan's offer to change her clothes in Jinxiu Palace.

At this moment, she was wearing this goose yellow double-breasted skirt. From the lapels to the chest, there was still blood dripping from the previous encounter with Concubine Zhang, which looked shocking.

This process further confirmed the previous rumors.

The sedan chair took the two of them all the way to Zhengyang Gate.

The Liu family's carriage had already been waiting at the door, and waiting on horseback beside the carriage were Liu Jingya's two brothers.

What happened in the palace had already spread to various noble families, and the Liu family also received the news in advance from Concubine Liu Shu's messenger.

Seeing Liu Jingya come out safely, the two elder brothers of the Liu family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly rode their horses to follow.

They knew that their sister was saved by Shen Nanzhi, but at the palace gate, they didn't say much and just clasped their fists to Shen Nanzhi.

Next to the Liu family's carriage, there was an inconspicuous green-roofed carriage with the logo of the Zhenbei Palace on it, and the driver was Mo Yun.

Liu Jingya saw it at a glance. She pulled Shen Nanzhi's finger and pointed, and said jokingly with a smile: "Your prince is here to pick you up, go back quickly, I'm going back too, I'll come to learn martial arts with you tomorrow."

Although he was often teased by her, Shen Nanzhi still felt embarrassed to hear her mention "your prince" in public.

Liu Jingya laughed, and without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to speak, she turned around and got into her own carriage. When she left, she did not forget to wave to Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As soon as the Liu family's carriage left, Mo Yun drove the Zhenbei Palace's carriage in front of her.

"Miss Shen."

Mo Yun turned over and jumped off the carriage. After greeting Shen Nanzhi, he raised his hand to open the carriage curtain for Shen Nanzhi.

At this time, another hand as white as porcelain but with distinct joints stretched out from the carriage and pulled up the curtain for Shen Nanzhi before him.

Xiao Chuyun, who had just come down from a palace banquet, was still wearing the formal black dragon robe of a vassal king and a purple gold crown, which made his already outstanding appearance even more handsome.

That face seemed to have received all the favors from the Creator, and it was flawless no matter from which angle it looked.

His deep black eyes looked at Shen Nanzhi and he smiled slightly. The originally dim palace gate seemed to be bright and colorful in an instant.

All the glory is concentrated on him alone.

Even though she has seen it countless times, Shen Nanzhi is still amazed by his smile.

"Your Majesty."

She bowed and was about to greet him, but Xiao Chuyun grabbed her arm and exempted her from the formalities, and immediately took her to the carriage.

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, Xiao Chuyun said gently, "Why should we be like this?"

This is not the first time he has said this.

Shen Nanzhi gradually became familiar with him and relaxed, and privately she didn't care about those false formalities. But this was after all at the palace gate, with so many carriages waiting and so many eyes staring at her, so she naturally didn't want to break the rules and cause others to laugh at Xiao Chuyun.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about those unimportant things."

In his eyes, the looks and criticisms of others are all insignificant.

Shen Nanzhi didn't care too much. She was doing this because she cared about Xiao Chuyun. Since he said so, Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Okay, Your Majesty is right."

Xiao Chuyun sat on the left side of Shen Nanzhi. His eyes moved from the bloodstain on Shen Nanzhi's neck to her collar. It was not known whether it was Shen Nanzhi's illusion, but when his eyes accidentally fell on her chest, Xiao Chuyun's eyes darkened and he turned his head away somewhat unnaturally.

Because he was afraid that he would worry, Shen Nanzhi asked someone to secretly pass the news to him in advance.

Unexpectedly, when we met, he was still a little worried and checked it out himself.

Shen Nanzhi subconsciously raised her hand and touched her neck, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm fine."

However, the next moment, Xiao Chuyun frowned slightly and his eyes fell on her fingertips.

Before Shen Nanzhi could react, Xiao Chuyun grabbed her wrist and brought her hand in front of him.

Following Xiao Chuyun's gaze, Shen Nanzhi realized that the broken porcelain pieces were too sharp. Even though she was very careful, her fingertips were still cut. However, the cut was not deep and there was no bleeding. Only the outermost layer of skin was broken.

Shen Nanzhi didn't even feel the pain and didn't notice the existence of the cut.

I didn't expect Xiao Chuyun to look at it so carefully.

Xiao Chuyun's palms were burning hot, and the look he gave her fingertips seemed even hotter than the temperature of his palms, causing Shen Nanzhi's heart to beat faster for no reason.

She subconsciously turned her wrist and quickly broke free from Xiao Chuyun's hand, and smiled as if nothing had happened: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's okay, it doesn't hurt at all, it's just a broken skin, there's no blood yet, it doesn't hurt at all."

Because her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, Shen Nanzhi's hands moved extremely quickly. She never expected that when she raised her hand, the gap that was originally just a skin break but not bleeding would catch the silk thread on the lapel and tear the originally small hole.

"hiss……"

Bright red blood beads instantly appeared on the fingertips, accompanied by a piercing pain, which made Shen Nanzhi subconsciously gasp for air.

I just said it didn’t hurt, but now it really hurts.

Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It can be seen that some things cannot be said casually.

She lowered her eyes to look at the fingertips that were constantly bleeding, and asked casually, "Does your lord have any medicine for wounds in the carriage? It doesn't matter if there isn't any. This small wound will heal in a short while."

Although she was afraid of pain, she was not a very fussy person. Even at home, she would usually put such a small wound directly in her mouth and suck it twice, and it would be fine.

However, in front of Xiao Chuyun, Shen Nanzhi couldn't make such casual or even crude movements.

She was about to take a handkerchief to wipe the blood beads, but unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyun grabbed her palm the next moment.

I watched him suddenly lean towards me.

The cool fragrance of grass and trees became stronger and stronger. Shen Nanzhi was suddenly startled and her head was still a little dazed. She didn't expect that Xiao Chuyun suddenly came so close to her for what he was going to do. The next moment, she saw Xiao Chuyun leaning over and putting her fingertips, which were still bleeding, into his mouth.

It was as if thousands of thunders exploded at the same time in Shen Nanzhi's mind.
