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

"Zhizhi?"

Ye Qingwan looked at Shen Nanzhi with a gossipy expression: "So where did this cake come from? Is there anything else you can't tell us?"

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

It was Lu Pianpian who was standing by who was smart. She came to Shen Nanzhi's rescue and said, "Hey? How come the peach cake that I asked Brother Zhuifeng to buy for me is now with Sister Zhizhi?"

But considering that Shen Nanzhi had just casually said that it was Liu Jingya who sent it, Ye Qingwan didn't quite believe it.

However, she was not the type to get to the bottom of things, and with Liu Jingya's arrival, Shen Nanzhi changed the subject in time and introduced the two of them to each other, and the matter was finally cleared up.

Although Shen Nanzhi is a quiet person, Liu Jingya and Ye Qingwan are chattering non-stop.

Although it was the first time the two met, they hit it off immediately because of their similar interests and got along very well.

Finally, it was Lu Pianpian who spoke up: "Sister Zhizhi just woke up. She shouldn't work too hard. She needs to rest more. The same goes for Sister Jingya. You should go back and lie down more and stop jumping around. If you accidentally pull the wound again, you'll become lame. And Sister Qingwan, the rash on your face hasn't completely faded yet. If you don't want to be disfigured, you'd better stay out in the wind."

Among the three of them, one had a lame leg, one had a rash all over her face due to unfamiliar climate, and another was seriously injured and bedridden. All of them were pointed out by Lu Pianpian.

Although she is a teenager, her intimidating power as a doctor is overwhelming.

After being criticized by her, the three of them felt guilty and dared not say a word in rebuttal.

Although they were reluctant, Liu Jingya and Ye Qingwan had to say goodbye and leave under Lu Pianpian's righteous words.

Of course, when Liu Jingya left, she also took away Liu Jingyi, who was left at Shen Nanzhi's third aunt's house.

The guests had all left, and Shen Nanzhi's spirit was indeed as Lu Pianpian had said, she was a little exhausted.

After Qiuyu, who was standing next to him, said a few words, Shen Nanzhi soon fell into a deep sleep leaning against a soft pillow.

Unlike the time when he was in a coma a few days ago, he has been in a dazed state the whole time.

Shen Nanzhi had a dream.

In her dream, as a bystander, she clearly watched the scenes of her previous life being replayed before her eyes like a kaleidoscope.

She saw herself being deceived and used by Xiao Qian'an, being plotted and persecuted by Jiang Yanran, and seeing the tragic end of the Shen family...

Those scenes overlapped with Shen Nanzhi's memories.

The only difference was that at the end of those scenes, Shen Nanzhi saw Xiao Qian'an, who was supposed to be sitting on the dragon throne and controlling the world, being pierced through the chest by a sword and lying lifeless in a pool of blood. He was still wearing the dragon robe that symbolized the supreme status, but the five-clawed golden dragon on it had been pierced through by the sword along with his chest, leaving only a bloody mess.

Until his death, his eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.

Lying in front of Xiao Qian'an was Jiang Yanran, who was also lifeless.

Shen Nanzhi felt that his death at the hands of Jiang Yanran was tragic enough, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yanran was even more miserable.

Her limbs were chopped off and her head was cut off. Her originally beautiful face was now covered in blood. If Shen Nanzhi hadn't been so familiar with her and hated her so much, he would have hardly recognized her.

A little further away on the ground, there were many corpses lying in all directions, and each of them was a face that Shen Nanzhi recognized and hated.

Jiang Shiyan, Jiang Qingyuan, Zhao Wan, Zhao Shi, and even Mother Liu were among them.

Their deaths were similar to Xiao Qian'an's. They were all killed instantly by a sword piercing their chests.

Such a ruthless and decisive attack and such sharp sword moves are not something that ordinary people can do.

This man has extremely high attainments in Kung Fu.

Before Shen Nanzhi in the dream could think about it carefully, she raised her eyes and saw that the towering imperial palace behind them was engulfed in flames, the palace people were in chaos, and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

As for what they shouted specifically, even though Shen Nanzhi tried his best, he couldn't hear a single word.

As she was struggling, the dream suddenly collapsed and she woke up.

When the sunlight in reality shone through the windowsill and fell on her pillow, Shen Nanzhi felt a little dazed.

This dream is too real.

For a moment, Shen Nanzhi couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality.

Perhaps it was because she was frightened by Xiao Chuyun's words when her life was hanging by a thread, and her subconscious mind was at work, which made her have such a dream.

Or maybe it was a hint from God, trying to inspire her?

Shen Nanzhi was lost in thought.

Until Qiu Yu beside him whispered, "Girl, you're awake, do you want some water?"

Shen Nanzhi's thoughts were pulled back to her senses. Just as she was about to respond, she discovered that her throat was dry and sore.

Fortunately, Qiuyu was a considerate person. As soon as Shen Nanzhi blinked, she understood and immediately turned around to pour Shen Nanzhi a glass of warm water.

After Shen Nanzhi drank it, she looked much better, so Qiu Yu reminded her, "The young lady woke up just in time. The front yard just sent a message that the eldest prince's wife came to visit the young lady. The eldest lady is entertaining her now, and she asked me to ask the young lady what she thinks."

The eldest princess?

Shen Nanzhi, who had just woken up, was a little slow in thinking. It took her a moment to realize that they were talking about the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin's wife.

The royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty has always had the tradition of establishing the eldest son or the legitimate son as the heir. He is both the legitimate son of the Empress and the eldest son of the Emperor. Logically speaking, he is the most worthy candidate for the crown prince.

However, because he was honest and kind-hearted and not good at scheming, he did not win the emperor's favor. In addition, Queen Wang passed away early, and his grandfather's family became increasingly decadent in recent years. Although they were still among the four major families in name, they were far inferior to the other three families.

The competition for the crown prince has become increasingly fierce in recent years, and it is precisely because of this that the competition has intensified.

Unlike other princes, who were still choosing their princesses based on their family backgrounds that would be helpful to them, the eldest prince got married early. His wife was Zhou Jinxuan, the granddaughter of Zhou Xian, the current Minister of Works, who was arranged for him as a child by Queen Wang.

According to rumors, the eldest prince is a kind and low-key person, and the eldest prince's wife Zhou Jinxuan is also gentle and dignified, and because of her frail health, she rarely appears in public.

According to Shen Nanzhi's original plan, in order to completely trip up Xiao Qian'an and to lead the Shen family to gain a firm foothold in the upcoming succession of imperial power, among the princes of appropriate age, she and the Shen family could only choose one between the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin and the fifth prince Xiao Ziyi to stand on the side.

It's impossible for Xiao Ziyi to do that now. The grudge has been formed. Shen Nanzhi doesn't even need to settle the score with him. She believes that Xiao Chuyun will not let him go.

It seems that Xiao Huaimin has become the only choice for her and the Shen family.

After a good sleep, although his throat was sore, he did feel a little better. Shen Nanzhi struggled to get up and told Qiu Yu: "Go tell my aunt that I'm awake."

This is what it means to meet.

Shen Nanzhi doesn't have the strength to move freely at the moment. If the eldest prince's wife really wants to visit her, she will naturally follow.

In his previous life, Shen Nanzhi only met her once and they didn't even talk to each other, so Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether her personality was the same as the rumors said.

If you want to choose the eldest prince, it is very necessary to understand the eldest prince's wife.

Moreover, Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun are already engaged, so they will be sisters-in-law in the future, so it’s not wrong for them to visit each other more often.

Qiuyu quickly asked the maid outside to take the message.

Shen Nanzhi originally wanted to get up and wash up, at least to cheer up to meet the guests.

But just as she was about to stand up, she felt a sharp pain in her lungs, and Lu Pianpian, who came over yawning, saw her and exclaimed, "Sister Zhizhi! Didn't I tell you not to move? Sit down now!"

Lu Pianpian stepped forward and stopped Shen Nanzhi from getting up, and said nervously: "You are not out of danger yet, don't mess around!"

Shen Nanzhi had no choice but to lean back on the soft pillow.

In fact, even if Lu Pianpian didn't say it, she knew it when she felt the piercing pain personally, that this time it was even more severe than she had imagined.

I didn't expect that such a simple pill of Guyuan Pill would have such serious side effects.

As if seeing through Shen Nanzhi's thoughts, Lu Pianpian put her hands on her hips and said, "The effect of that Guyuan Pill was so strong that even a strong man like Brother Mo Yun couldn't bear it, not to mention that Sister Zhizhi took two pills. Your internal organs would have been shattered at that time. If it weren't for the prince..."

Lu Pianpian spoke quickly and only reacted when she got to this point. She immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth and turned away.

Shen Nanzhi is not stupid, so she couldn't hide her obvious attempt to cover up something.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Shen Nanzhi frowned and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Shen Nanzhi had noticed it before, but at that time she had just tricked Xiao Chuyun out. After listening to Xiao Chuyun's explanation, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously thought that Xiao Chuyun was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would be angry and did not dare to see Shen Nanzhi, so he greeted Lu Pianpian and asked Lu Pianpian to cover it up for him and asked her to tell Shen Nanzhi that he was busy.

But looking at Lu Pianpian's expression now, it is obviously not just because of this.

And what was that sentence she was about to blurt out just now?

"elegant?"

Shen Nanzhi called out again.

Lu Pianpian, who couldn't keep secrets in the past, now looked like a gourd with a sawed mouth.

She shook her head, and simply covered her mouth and sat down next to Shen Nanzhi's footstool, looking like she would not speak again no matter what.

Shen Nanzhi was just thinking about how to get her to talk, but Qiu Yu came in and reminded her, "Miss, the eldest prince's wife is here."

Shen Nanzhi had no choice but to focus on dealing with the eldest prince's wife Zhou Jinxuan.

Soon, the door curtain was lifted by the maid.

The eldest prince's consort Zhou Jinxuan, dressed in a light blue brocade skirt, walked in gracefully, surrounded by two maids.

The color of her clothes matches her temperament.

It is neither too bright nor too plain, but just the right amount of gentleness, like the tung flowers blooming in the mountain valleys in spring. It is both dignified and majestic, and her beauty is not very aggressive, which is a completely different style from the bright and beautiful Shen Nanzhi.

Her hair was tied up high in a bun, dotted with a few crystal gems, which matched the embroidery on her clothes. In addition, her manners were elegant and generous. At just one glance, one could inadvertently feel a sense of familiarity with her.

"The eldest prince's wife."

Shen Nanzhi couldn't get up, so he just bowed slightly and said, "Forgive me for my injury and for not being able to get up and greet you."

As soon as Shen Nanzhi finished speaking, the eldest prince's wife Zhou Jinxuan smiled and said, "We are all family from now on, Sister Shen, there is no need to be so formal."

As she spoke, Zhou Jinxuan walked directly to the embroidered cushion beside Shen Nanzhi's bed and sat down, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better? I heard that the entire private room in Fuyun Tower collapsed that day, and even the people watching the excitement outside were affected. You can see how dangerous it was at that time."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi shook her head and smiled, "It was indeed very dangerous, but fortunately it's all over. Thank you for your concern, Princess."

Zhou Jinxuan smiled and patted Shen Nanzhi's hand, and said with emotion: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I wanted to visit you before so that we can take care of each other in the future, but I'm not good at talking, and I'm afraid of making Sister Shen laugh."

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "How could that be? As long as Sister Zhou doesn't dislike me, that's fine."

The two of them exchanged some polite words.

Shen Nanzhi noticed that Lu Pianpian's eyes fell on the red agate bracelet on Zhou Jinxuan's hand, and Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but take another look.

Zhou Jinxuan noticed it at a glance.

She smiled and fiddled with the red agate bracelet twice, explaining to Shen Nanzhi: "I went to Xiangguo Temple a few days ago and asked Master Huijue to bless it. If you like it, you can wear it to ward off disasters and misfortunes."

As she said this, she was about to take it off and put it on Shen Nanzhi. Before Shen Nanzhi could say anything, she saw Lu Pianpian's brows visibly wrinkled.

Before the eldest prince's wife's bracelet touched Shen Nanzhi, Lu Pianpian suddenly stood up, blocked Shen Nanzhi, and said seriously: "Sister Zhizhi is weak and can't wear this bracelet. Please understand, eldest prince's wife."

Zhou Jinxuan didn't know Lu Pianpian's identity. She just thought she was a little maid serving tea and water. Because she was young and unsettled, she didn't follow the rules. She didn't think much about it and just smiled and explained, "Buddhist things are used to ward off evil spirits. They won't offend my sister. Besides, I've worn this bracelet for a few days and I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she frowned suddenly, not even caring about the bracelet, and started to dry heave with her hands covering her lips.

In the blink of an eye, her face had turned as pale as paper, and cold sweat was oozing out of her forehead.

This scene also shocked Shen Nanzhi.

She subconsciously looked at the bracelet that Zhou Jinxuan had placed on the quilt in a hurry.

Before Shen Nanzhi could take a closer look, Lu Pianpian had already raised her hand to pick up the bracelet. After examining it carefully, Lu Pianpian's brows frowned even deeper.

She also quickly handed the bracelet to Qiuyu: "Sister Qiuyu, take it away quickly!"

Qiuyu still didn't understand what was going on, and the eldest prince's wife Zhou Jinxuan's face turned even paler.

The two maids following her were about to send someone to call a doctor, but after getting Shen Nanzhi's nod of agreement, Lu Pianpian had already stepped forward and put her hand on the eldest prince's wife's wrist without saying a word.

Before the two maids could speak out to stop them, they heard Lu Pianpian say in surprise: "She's pregnant? How dare she use something that can weaken a person or even cause miscarriage!"

What she was talking about was the red agate bracelet that Qiuyu had just taken away.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Shen Nanzhi, but also the two maids and even the eldest prince's wife Zhou Jinxuan changed their expressions.

Obviously they were also caught off guard.

Seeing that Zhou Jinxuan's body was already crumbling, Shen Nanzhi's heart also rose to his throat.

If something really happened to the Crown Prince's wife, she wouldn't be able to explain it even if she had all her mouths!

It's like the pot falls from the sky while you are sitting at home!
