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

Hearing him say this, Shen Nanzhi became more convinced that there was an accomplice in the Shen family.

As for who that person was, she really had no idea.

Of course it is impossible for Qiuyue and Qiuyu who are beside her. Both of them are servants of the Shen family and are loyal to her. They even lost their lives for her in the previous life.

As for the other maids in the yard, she didn't need them to serve her closely on weekdays, and any conversation was always done behind closed doors, so they didn't know much.

Especially recently, she has been recuperating from her injuries and likes to be quiet, so she sent all the maids away.

This morning, apart from Qiuyu and Chuntao who was responsible for delivering messages, Shen Nanzhi didn't even see anyone else. It seemed that they had been transferred to the front yard to handle the rituals.

Or, there is another possibility.

The traitor is someone close to my uncle Shen Huaishu.

For example, Zhou Shun, who is by my uncle's side, has the trust of my uncle. In the past two years, he has taken over the burden from the old housekeeper and is responsible for arranging all the trivial matters of my uncle's life.

As his uncle's confidant, he naturally knew the origin of the jade pendant.

Moreover, although his uncle did not take him with him when he secretly left Beijing this time, someone was needed to cover his whereabouts whether in the Dali Temple or in the Shen family, and that person was Zhou Shun.

The most crucial thing is that although this ritual was led by my aunt, the main person in charge was Zhou Shun.

Considering that Asi and others were transferred at that time, these speculations seem more reasonable.

However, these are just Shen Nanzhi's guesses after all.

Since my uncle trusts and values ​​this person, he must have his reasons. Maybe there is someone else who is the culprit.

Now she was trapped here by herself, and it was useless to think too much.

Although Shen Nanzhi was suspicious, he remained calm and said, "It's just a jade pendant. Maybe my uncle threw it somewhere and your people happened to pick it up. It doesn't mean anything."

Hearing this, the man wearing the fox mask did not argue with Shen Nanzhi. He just leaned back casually, leaned against the side wall in a lazy manner, and said leisurely: "Whether it is true or not, Miss Shen will know it soon."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and took a nap. He looked unmoved, but this made Shen Nanzhi even more worried.

The carriage continued to move forward with a bumpy ride. Seeing that he was unwilling to speak anymore, Shen Nanzhi did not want to say anything more and embarrass herself.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.

The man who had been taking a nap with his eyes closed suddenly opened them. He raised his hand and casually pushed the fox mask on his face, stretched his waist, and then jumped off the carriage and said to Shen Nanzhi, "Miss Shen, please."

Shen Nanzhi got out of the carriage and saw a four-story attic as soon as he looked up.

It is surrounded by water on three sides and faces a bustling street on one side.

As soon as the carriage that brought them here drove out, the gate of the courtyard was closed by a servant.

A small door panel directly blocked out the hustle and bustle outside, and also blocked Shen Nanzhi's gaze.

She had just touched the ground on her toes, and before she could figure out where she was, she heard the man's smiling voice: "There are traps everywhere here, Miss Shen, you'd better follow closely. If you get shot into a sieve by accident, you can't blame me."

Although he said it with a smile, Shen Nanzhi knew that he was definitely not joking.

Moreover, as he finished speaking, he casually sent out a stream of energy, which landed right at Shen Nanzhi's feet.

In just a moment, three arrows suddenly shot out from somewhere, whistling with unstoppable murderous intent, and in a blink of an eye, they penetrated into the place where his powerful energy had just entered.

Quick, accurate, ruthless.

I dare not imagine what Shen Nanzhi would have looked like if he had been standing there just now.

And this person didn't give her any warning at all when she got off the carriage.

Such a sudden and unintentional killing move landed in front of Shen Nanzhi. In addition to shocking Shen Nanzhi, it is hard to say that there was no malicious intention in it to scare Shen Nanzhi by seeing her pale face.

Not only was she frightened by him several times and lived in fear all the way, but she was also teased when she got off the carriage. Even a clay Buddha would get angry, not to mention that Shen Nanzhi was not the kind of person who would accept things submissively and be obedient.

She frowned and looked at the man coldly, "You are in a good mood, sir. You keep saying you want to kill me, but you took so much trouble to bring me here. I don't believe you have no use for me. If you want to take my life, you don't even have to do it yourself. If that's the case, why bother to play with me like this? Do you really think... I am a cowardly person?"

Having said that, Shen Nanzhi looked up at the other party, without even looking at her feet. She took two steps forward casually, as if she was indifferent to life and death, and didn't care how the hidden weapon would shoot her.

As her second step landed, the wind around her suddenly became stronger and a flashing arrow whizzed towards her.

There is no way to avoid it given Shen Nanzhi's current condition.

She had no intention of avoiding it.

The wind was strong by the river, blowing her long hair, making the determination in her eyes even more vivid.

She didn't avoid or give way, but just looked coldly at the man wearing the fox mask.

The man stood with his hands behind his back. Although his expression could not be seen, his playful eyes and the smiling fox mask made him look even more unfathomable and weird.

He had no intention of dissuading her. He just stood there like an outsider, watching and looking at Shen Nanzhi coldly.

Although Shen Nanzhi's skills were hindered by this weak body, his reactions were still there.

She could clearly sense from which direction the arrow that could kill her in an instant would come and where exactly on her throat it would land.

But Shen Nanzhi didn't move at all.

Rather than saying that she was ready to die, it would be more accurate to say that she was taking a gamble.

She bet that this man had told her so much along the way, and although he had threatened her several times with words or actions, as she herself said, she was of great use to him, and he would not let her die so easily.

During their time together, Shen Nanzhi didn't see his true colors, but at least one thing was certain: this man was a master at manipulating people's hearts.

The previous threats or intimidation might have been out of bad taste, or it might have been to completely control her so that she wouldn't dare to think of resisting or escaping, or it might even have been to test how far she could endure and see where her bottom line was.

So, no matter what, Shen Nanzhi cannot retreat.

This determines the man's attitude towards her in the future.

Once he finds out that she is easy to control, he will only become more aggressive.

She's gambling.

Neither of them said anything; the situation was already at a stalemate, and the atmosphere became extremely cold.

The wind is getting stronger and the killing move is just around the corner.

Shen Nanzhi didn't even blink, watching the arrow feather only an inch away from her throat, when she saw the man suddenly raise his hand.

A strong wind blew in my face.

The arrow feather that could have pierced Shen Nanzhi's throat seemed to have suddenly lost its power and fell to the ground in front of Shen Nanzhi in an instant.

The man's originally cold eyes now had a hint of amusement. He smiled and said, "Well, you win. I do have a great use for you. I can't let you die."

Sure enough, he just realized that Shen Nanzhi was gambling.

But there was no way. Even if he knew, he could only admit that he lost.

Because Shen Nanzhi was right, it would be of great use for him to keep her.

He was flexible and didn't seem to be angry at all when Shen Nanzhi exposed him in front of him. He even looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smile and said considerately, "Miss Shen has seen it too. There are traps everywhere. Do you want me to lead you up, carry you on my back, or fly up with you in my arms? Which of these three do you choose?"

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

She didn't want to choose any of these three options.

Moreover, she also realized that this person was clearly doing it on purpose.

With the previous experience, Shen Nanzhi didn't even say a word this time, but just walked forward aimlessly.

Just as he landed, two more hidden weapons came whizzing towards him.

Seeing this, the man was startled, and then he raised his hand to knock it down, and said helplessly: "Hey! You girl! Let's talk it over properly. Can we not seek death at every turn?"

After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi stopped and looked at him with a smile: "So you also have a fourth option that we can discuss."

The man also smiled and said: "The rumors are true, the Miss Shen is really difficult to deal with."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands.

Soon, the small door on the first floor of the attic was opened from the inside, and a young girl in a pink gauze dress and double buns walked out.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but take another look.

She has a pretty face and a pair of particularly lively eyes. She looks like a person with a quick and meticulous mind.

But what really caught Shen Nanzhi's attention was her body movements, her steps were soft but steady.

"Yuewu has met you, sir."

The man glanced at her and said in a cold tone: "You will be the one taking care of Miss Shen in the next few days. Take her upstairs."

The woman called Yuewu quickly bowed and responded, then turned to greet Shen Nanzhi, "Miss Shen, please come in."

Shen Nanzhi turned and looked at the masked man.

His eyes were like water, and he looked at Shen Nanzhi solemnly: "Miss Shen, don't worry, you have seen it, I will not do anything to you, just trouble Miss Shen to stay here for a few days, I also have a doctor whose medical skills are not inferior to your little genius doctor, he will see Miss Shen as usual and regulate her body, as long as Miss Shen cooperates, we can discuss everything."

This time he did not threaten Shen Nanzhi with death.

However, his words still shocked Shen Nanzhi.

In the entire Shen family, only Shen Nanzhi knew that Lu Pianpian's adoptive father was Doctor Lu.

Even though others knew that Lu Pianpian was talented in medicine and had good medical skills at a young age, no one would associate her with Doctor Lu.

But he called Lu Pianpian "Little Miracle Doctor".

His words were full of implications, so it was hard not to make Shen Nanzhi suspect that he knew the relationship between Doctor Lu and Lu Pianpian.

Without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to think about it, he took a last look at Yuewu and turned to leave the yard.

The wind blew his clothes, which were as white as snow, making him look more elegant and graceful, like a banished immortal strolling among the clouds.

It is difficult to associate this image with his previous viciousness, sharp tongue, and moodiness.

Shen Nanzhi turned his head away.

In this huge attic, apart from the ubiquitous mechanisms and Yuewu in front of him, Shen Nanzhi could only sense the breath of two or three people.

But she believed that there must be more than that. There must be masters who have restrained their aura and are hiding in the dark, and even she cannot detect them.

Yuewu, who had already taken two steps, saw that Shen Nanzhi had no intention of following her. Yuewu seemed to remember something, turned back and bowed to Shen Nanzhi, saying, "Miss Shen, I will take you upstairs."

As she spoke, she bent down towards Shen Nanzhi, as if she was going to carry Shen Nanzhi on her back.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi nodded.

Her body had indeed reached its limit.

She gritted her teeth and held on when facing the masked man. Since there was a better choice now, Shen Nanzhi would certainly not make things difficult for herself.

Moreover, she also wanted to see Yuewu's skills again.

So, Shen Nanzhi lay on Yuewu's back.

After her body was steady, Yuewu easily carried her on her back, then she tiptoed, flipped over and jumped onto the roof of the second floor. Her movements were quick and light, like a dragonfly skimming the water, which frightened Shen Nanzhi on her back.

Even a maidservant randomly picked had such amazing martial arts skills, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of her escape plan.

While she was still surprised, Yuewu had already followed suit and brought her to the fourth floor. She was very relaxed along the way, and even her breathing was steady without any disturbance.

No wonder the man wearing the fox mask dared to hand Shen Nanzhi over to Yuewu with confidence.

This maid's skills are really amazing.

Even the top secret guards that the Shen family has trained for many years might not be as casual and calm as she is.

There are not many families or forces in the entire Da Qi that can rival the Shen family, a family of military generals that has trained secret guards for generations.

But their approach is different from any other.

If Shen Nanzhi had thought that the masked man was bragging before, but then, after Shen Nanzhi sat down, Yuewu called over an old man with white hair and beard to take her pulse.

After a moment's silence, the old man described all her symptoms exactly as Lu Pianpian had described them, even the fact that she had been poisoned by the Hua Gong Powder and taken the Heart Protecting Pill.

Moreover, even the prescriptions he prescribed were exactly the same as Lu Pianpian's.

This forced Shen Nanzhi to believe in his medical skills.

But believing it is one thing, and being shocked in my heart is just as great.

Shen Nanzhi had seen Lu Pianpian's medical skills. Except for childbirth and prenatal care, which she was not interested in and therefore not good at, she knew almost everything and was omnipotent in other areas. Even the imperial doctors in the palace were far inferior to her.

But it seems that the medical skills of this old man in front of him are not inferior to Lu Pianpian.

The high monk of Xiangguo Temple, the capable person who is proficient in secret passages and mechanical devices, the doctor with excellent medical skills, and the maidservant who can do Qinggong at will...

Where on earth did these people come from?

Why didn't Shen Nanzhi notice anything about them in her previous life?

She originally just wanted to get away quickly, but now her curiosity about their power even exceeded her desire to escape.

"Seeing that Miss Shen looks tired, I have prepared some hot water. Miss Shen, can you wash up first, eat something to fill your stomach, and then rest? Doctor Luo just instructed that you can drink the medicine in the evening."

Shen Nanzhi nodded in agreement.

She was indeed dirty and tired.

However, before washing up, she turned to look at Yuewu: "I want to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts. I don't want the soft and sticky ones, but the crispy ones. Miss Yuewu, can you send someone to buy them for me?"

Hearing this, Yuewu smiled slightly, and her attitude was respectful as if she really treated Shen Nanzhi as her lady.

"I will arrange it right away, don't worry, Miss Shen."

Shen Nanzhi nodded, hoping that the people Yuewu sent would move faster.
