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

Before Yuewu left, Shen Nanzhi specifically reminded her that it should be sweet and crispy.

Most of the sugar-roasted chestnuts in Beijing have a soft and glutinous texture, unlike those in Qingzhou.

Since Yuewu has agreed, she will send people to buy it. If more stalls are inquired, it may attract the attention of the secret guards planted by Shen Nanzhi.

A few days ago, after Xiao Chuyun brought her some sugar-roasted chestnuts, Shen Nanzhi sent someone out to buy some, but the taste was still a little off.

After this and that, now without Shen Nanzhi's instructions, the secret guards under her command all knew to help her keep an eye out for the sugar-roasted chestnuts.

As long as they were looking for her throughout the city, if they happened to come across someone asking for crispy sugar-roasted chestnuts, given their vigilance, they would definitely pay more attention.

Of course, Shen Nanzhi cannot pin all her hopes on this, she still needs to get better soon.

Yuewu acted quickly. She gave the order in a short time, and quickly boiled the bath water and prepared a change of clothes for Shen Nanzhi.

Don't be fooled by Yuewu's skinny appearance. She is not only good at martial arts, but also very strong.

Generally speaking, even for a maid doing rough work, it would take two people to carry a bucket of hot water that was half a person's height. However, she carried the bucket in one hand and walked up the stairs very quickly. Shen Nanzhi was stunned by the whole process.

Where did that annoying masked man find such a powerful girl!

Of course, Shen Nanzhi was not polite either.

Her dress was just dirty, but she had just sat down and when Yuewu turned around, she secretly scratched a spot on it. And when Yuewu suggested that she wash up, Shen Nanzhi pretended to be casual and exposed the scratched hem of her skirt to her face.

Of course I can't wear this skirt anymore.

I just don’t know what Yuewu will do with it, whether to throw it away directly or wash it and put it away first.

There was still tracking incense on Shen Nanzhi's skirt. If she was lucky, the skirt would be found by the secret guards if it was thrown away by Yuewu.

Even if not, it would be no loss for Shen Nanzhi.

After washing up, Shen Nanzhi's spirit recovered a little. She did not lie down to rest immediately, but went to the window.

The entire attic faces south, but unfortunately all the south windows facing the street are sealed.

In the huge room, there is only a small window on the north side.

At first glance, Shen Nanzhi saw only the vast river and the tall and short buildings along the river.

It's funny to say that after two lives, Shen Nanzhi rarely went out after coming to Beijing, and was not familiar with the city's appearance.

Moreover, at a glance, he did not see any familiar iconic buildings, and Shen Nanzhi was unsure where it was for a moment.

Just as Shen Nanzhi was about to take a closer look, Yuewu beside her gently reminded her, "Miss Shen is also tired, why not take a rest? I will make you whatever you want to eat tonight."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi turned to look at her, with a bit of doubt in his eyes, and asked: "How does Miss Yuewu's cooking skills compare to the chef in Fuyunlou?"

Yue Wu was startled by these words. Before she could react, she heard Shen Nanzhi continue, "I've been ill recently and my taste is a bit picky. I only like to eat the food at Fuyunlou. Your master has said that Fuyunlou is also your territory, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to find the chef from Fuyunlou to cook for you, right?"

In fact, the annoying guy wearing a fox mask only said that the mechanisms in Fuyun Building were designed by the capable people under his command, and he did not say that Fuyun Building was his territory. Shen Nanzhi was just guessing.

It is almost impossible to dig such a large secret passage under the Fuyun Building without alerting the people in the building.

Moreover, when Lu Pianpian wanted the chef of Fuyunlou a few days ago, Shen Nanzhi also heard that Fuyunlou was also sealed off, but the people inside fled or slipped away, and even the chef disappeared.

Those who escaped from the Dali Temple are not ordinary people.

Either they are Xiao Ziyi's people, and Xiao Ziyi has other arrangements and support, or they are their people.

Ever since meeting these people, Shen Nanzhi felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

Yuewu's reaction also confirmed Shen Nanzhi's words.

She seemed a little surprised that Shen Nanzhi even knew this, but she did not realize that Shen Nanzhi was deceiving her.

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

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

You see, not everyone is as alert and difficult as the man in the fox mask.

Yuewu neither denied Shen Nanzhi's words, but also said... she would arrange it right away.

This not only shows that Shen Nanzhi guessed correctly, but also means that Yuewu can contact at any time those who have escaped and even the Dali Temple cannot find their whereabouts or catch them.

Shen Nanzhi was secretly shocked, but she didn't show it on her face. She just turned around and went to bed to rest.

Perhaps he was extremely tired both physically and mentally. Even though he knew he was still in danger and couldn't let his guard down, Shen Nanzhi couldn't resist the sleepiness.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already time to light the lamps.

There was only one small window through which light could come in, and now that it was dark outside, the room was blurry.

Shen Nanzhi had just regained consciousness when he suddenly saw a figure standing by the window.

That moment almost frightened her to death.

After seeing the fox mask on his face and realizing who he was, Shen Nanzhi's heart jumped back into his stomach. He said unhappily, "Do you want to scare me to death?"

The man chuckled and said, "I came back specially to have dinner with Miss Shen. Seeing that you were asleep, I didn't want to disturb Miss Shen's rest. I didn't even have the heart to turn on the light. It would have been fine if Miss Shen didn't appreciate my thoughtfulness, but now it has become my fault, which hurts me a lot."

Although he said he was sad, there was no trace of hurt in his eyes.

Moreover, as he spoke, he curled his lips into a smile, and even his eyes seemed to brighten a little.

Seeing this scene, he was surprised at first, and then Shen Nanzhi, who had just woken up, became fully awake and realized that the man had changed his mask.

Unlike the whole fox mask with a weird smile, the mask this man wore was only half, covering the upper half of his face, revealing his delicate jaw and thin lips.

The same thing is that this half fox mask still has a smile on it, which makes it look even more weird.

The last bit of light from the setting sun fell on his profile through the small window, and the mask seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, which made his already cold and elegant temperament even more mysterious and sacred.

Two completely different auras actually coexist in this person, and there is no sense of incongruity.

Of course, the premise is to ignore this person's viciousness and venom.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi slept with her clothes on, otherwise meeting in such a scene would have been even more awkward and embarrassing.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the man, saying unhappily, "I'm sleeping, don't you know how to avoid suspicion?"

Hearing this, the man did not answer but asked: "Miss Shen, isn't she already up?"

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

But it was clear that this person was already at the window when she was sleeping!

Shen Nanzhi was too lazy to engage in meaningless verbal arguments with him. She threw back the quilt, stood up, and was about to take two steps towards the table. Who would have thought that her body was still too weak. She had slept for too long and her steps were still a little unsteady.

Shen Nanzhi staggered and she quickly grabbed the table beside her to barely keep her balance.

Seeing her in such a state of disgrace, the man laughed and mocked her, "Miss Shen, there's no need to be so excited when you see me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nanzhi's heart choked.

This person is really, really annoying!

But Shen Nanzhi was not a softie who could be manipulated by others. She suppressed her depression and smiled, "I am a little excited. After all, seeing you, I can't help but think of my Lin Feng. They are exactly the same."

Shen Nanzhi almost gritted his teeth when he spoke the last few words.

This aroused the man's interest. He curved his eyebrows and asked with a curled lip: "Lin Feng? Is there such a person in the Shen family?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "You have misunderstood. Although Linfeng means a jade tree facing the wind, it is not a person, but a big yellow dog that I raise in the old house of the Shen family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi saw that the smile in his eyes froze, and even the corners of his lips that were originally raised with a smile couldn't help but be suppressed.

Shen Nanzhi finally got rid of his anger after winning the game.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly laughed and said, "To name a dog like this, Miss Shen's taste is really unique."

Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You are not much better than me since you can wear such an ugly mask. It's the same for me."

After they finished speaking, both of them looked cold.

Although neither of them spoke during that silent moment, looking at each other's eyes, they both seemed to want to throw the other into the river to feed the fish.

It wasn't until Yuewu's appearance that the strange silence between the two was broken.

"Sir, Miss Shen, you can have your meal now."

As she spoke, Yuewu lit up two sheep-horn palace lanterns.

The originally dim room suddenly became bright, and the expressions in Shen Nanzhi and the man's eyes became clearer.

Yuewu bent down and wiped the table. In the blink of an eye, a table full of dishes was served. Half of them were spicy and strong in flavor, which were Shen Nanzhi's favorite dishes.

It can be seen that they had indeed done a lot of investigation on Shen Nanzhi before and knew a lot about her.

The other half were all light, which I guess was the taste of this annoying guy.

Their auras don't match, and even the dishes are at two extremes.

"Sir, Miss Shen, please have dinner."

Yuewu arranged everything and then stepped aside obediently.

Before Shen Nanzhi opened her mouth, the man had already walked to the table and sat down. After taking the handkerchief handed over by Yuewu and washing his hands, he smiled and looked at Shen Nanzhi and said, "Miss Shen, you won't be so stubborn as to refuse to eat, right?"

Facing his provocation, Shen Nanzhi also smiled and said, "How could that be? If you can eat it, I will accompany you to the end."

She is not a fool. If she doesn't eat out of spite, she will only starve.

She needs to recover her health as soon as possible and improve her strength.

After saying that, Shen Nanzhi washed his hands, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

However, although the two of them seemed to be incompatible, they were very well behaved during meals.

I finished the meal quietly.

Shen Nanzhi put down her bowl and chopsticks. She had just taken the hot tea from Yuewu and rinsed her mouth when she heard the man opposite her raise his eyebrows and say, "Miss Shen, aren't you worried at all?"

Shen Nanzhi was clearly kidnapped here, but as a hostage, she not only did not cry or make a fuss, but was also very calm and relaxed, and even confronted him without any fear.

He seemed unable to tell whether Shen Nanzhi was pretending to be calm or was completely indifferent, so he smiled and said tentatively: "Although I will not take Miss Shen's life, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything to Miss Shen."

As he spoke, his black eyes turned, and his cold gaze swept along Shen Nanzhi's cheek, all the way to her fair neck, and finally fell on her collar, which she protected meticulously.

The light from the sheep-horn lamp shone into his eyes, which were frighteningly cold, without a trace of lust.

This certainly won't scare Shen Nanzhi.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "This may sound scary, but your acting skills are really not that good."

At this point, Shen Nanzhi paused for a moment, his eyes suddenly turned sharp as he said, "Since you know so much about me, you must also know that I would rather die than live in disgrace."

Since he knew that she could be of great use to him, Shen Nanzhi naturally had to make good use of her.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he burst out laughing.

"It's just a joke. Why does Miss Shen have to keep saying such suicidal things?"

Shen Nanzhi held the teacup, looked at the tea leaves inside, and asked, "Don't you always threaten me?"

Seeing the smile in the other person's eyes fade away, under the sheep-horn lamp, the half fox mask became even more weird.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't see his face shape through the fox mask, but judging from his eyes and jaw that were exposed, this man should be in good shape.

It’s a pity that this mouth is so annoying.

Shen Nanzhi's eyes passed over the mask and finally fell into his eyes: "Your Excellency specially accompanied me to eat this table of dishes, could it be just to tell me this joke?"

Hearing this, the man just glanced at Shen Nanzhi indifferently and stood up, with no intention of answering.

Seeing that person was about to leave, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What on earth do you want me to do here, sir?"

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint, mocking smile, but he did not answer. He turned around and prepared to leave.

At least he responded to every word before, but now he has become a silent person. Shen Nanzhi frowned slightly.

She couldn't help but raise her voice and continued, "I can't say this, and I can't ask that. So how should I address you, sir? I can't really call you Lin Feng, right?"

Linfeng...taken from Yushu Linfeng, refers to the big yellow dog she kept in the old house.

As if he had thought of this in an instant, the corners of his mouth twitched visibly as he finished speaking.

Before Shen Nanzhi could see how he made his move, the table in front of her was suddenly shattered.

The bowls, chopsticks and dishes that were originally placed on the table and had not yet been cleared away by Yuewu were instantly scattered all over the floor and shattered.

Amidst the crackling sounds, there was a voice of gnashing teeth: "Xiao Yanchu."

After saying that, he flashed out of the room and disappeared at the stairs in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the mess on the ground, Yue Wu at the side couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Miss Shen is amazing. She can actually make the young master angry. My young master has a very good temper. This is the first time I've seen him get so angry."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You call this a good temper?"

Seeing Yue Wu nod, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously lowered his eyes to take a look at the mess on the ground and the table that had been shattered into powder by his internal energy.

Is this called a good temper?

Shen Nanzhi seriously doubted Yuewu's definition of good temper and good character.

but……

Wait, he said his name is Xiao Yanchu.

Xiao Yanchu.

His surname is Xiao.

Shen Nanzhi, who reacted belatedly, was suddenly stunned.
