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

This person always has the ability to make Shen Nanzhi angry to death just by opening his mouth.

Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency is not much better."

Xiao Yanchu smiled coldly: "Same here."

Neither of them spoke again. Yuewu, who was sandwiched between the two, had already blushed with embarrassment. She quickly put away the handkerchief that was only half embroidered, and brought food to Shen Nanzhi.

This time, Xiao Yanchu had no intention of having dinner with Shen Nanzhi, and even the meal Yuewu prepared was only for Shen Nanzhi.

Before she started eating, Shen Nanzhi looked at Xiao Yanchu who was half leaning against the small window and staring at her, "Sir, are you here just to watch me eat?"

Xiao Yanchu's cold gaze lingered on Shen Nanzhi's face for a moment before he said calmly, "I heard that you fainted yesterday. I came to see if you were going to die so that I could choose a grave for you in advance."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi showed a very perfunctory fake smile and said: "Thank you very much for your concern, but I am afraid that I will disappoint you. I am fine. If you are not in my eyes, I think I will be better."

As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

This annoying guy even added, "Miss Shen is really careless. Aren't you afraid that I might poison your food or even your medicine?"

Shen Nanzhi tilted his head to look at him, and instead of answering, he asked, "Will you?"

Xiao Yanchu stopped talking.

Shen Nanzhi weighed his chopsticks and said, "That's right. Besides, even if you want to poison me, is there any other way unless I starve to death?"

After saying that, Shen Nanzhi pointed at himself and said, "Look at me, I am half dead now. If you don't think I am too old, any poison can kill me. If you want to kill me, you can just raise your hand. Why bother?"

I don’t know why Xiao Yanchu asked this question. In her opinion, this question is simply stupid.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Yanchu's eyes turned a little colder.

Just when Shen Nanzhi thought that he was going to hit something with his hand again, he suddenly flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Obviously, the good-tempered and good-tempered Xiao Yanchu was once again angered by Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi subconsciously turned his head to look at Yuewu and shrugged helplessly.

Yuewu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she wanted to take back what she said.

As soon as this person left, Shen Nanzhi felt that the depressing and dull atmosphere in the room disappeared instantly, and she felt much more relaxed.

Of course, she also knew that she was in Xiao Yanchu's hands, so she should be more considerate and not completely anger him.

But at the same time, Shen Nanzhi also wanted to test the bottom line of this person's tolerance for her.

Moreover, he was wearing a mask both on his face and in his emotions. Unless Shen Nanzhi confronted him and made him angry, she would not be able to see through his true emotions under the double mask, and naturally she would not be able to understand his temperament.

It's risky, but worth it.

After dinner, while Yuewu was collecting the dishes, Shen Nanzhi came to the small window again.

She looked in the direction Xiao Yanchu had looked before, and saw only a cluster of houses of varying heights, with nothing different to see.

It’s a pity that the fourth floor is too high and the window is so small that even if Shen Nanzhi wants to pass on a message, it would be difficult to do so.

Even if he threw a teacup from this small window, with Shen Nanzhi's current strength, the farthest he could throw it was into the river, which was still a long distance from the houses.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't think of any other solution for the time being. Seeing Yuewu walking out with the bowl and chopsticks, Shen Nanzhi asked, "Can I follow you around this floor?"

Hearing this, Yue Wu smiled and said, "Of course you can. Miss Shen can come and go freely throughout the fourth floor, but the Master has instructed that Miss Shen cannot go down to the third floor."

At this point, Yuewu seemed to have thought of something, and quickly explained: "The third floor is where the young master lives. Miss Shen and the young master always have a bad time every time they meet him. It's okay if you don't go."

There was a small kitchen on the fourth floor, but at Shen Nanzhi's request, the meals were prepared and delivered by the chef who had previously worked at Fuyun Building.

But after Shen Nanzhi finished eating, Yuewu collected the dishes and washed them in the small kitchen on the fourth floor as usual.

And this small kitchen is right at the stairs.

Coming from the room where Shen Nanzhi lives, on the left are Yuewu's room, storage room, and small kitchen, and on the right there is a very large hall. Judging from the structure, it should have been an observation deck, but it's a pity that it's been sealed off and nothing can be seen.

While Yuewu was replying to Shen Nanzhi, she was already washing the dishes skillfully.

Shen Nanzhi was a little surprised that Xiao Yanchu also lived in this riverside attic.

After leaving her to Yuewu yesterday, he turned and left. Shen Nanzhi thought he would go somewhere else.

Unexpectedly, he lived on the third floor.

No wonder he comes out to be disliked from time to time, it turns out it’s just the distance of stretching his legs.

Shen Nanzhi was a little depressed.

With Xiao Yanchu around, her escape plan would only become more difficult.

No wonder Yuewu told her this so easily.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Yeah, maybe your young master and I are just not meant to get along."

After that, she casually asked, "What about downstairs? Aren't we the only ones living in such a big attic?"

Yue Wu said patiently, "Doctor Luo and his men live on the second floor. As for the first floor, Uncle Liu has set up some hidden weapons to protect the young master. It's very dangerous. Miss Shen, please don't set foot there."

Doctor Luo, Uncle Liu... Yuewu calls the people here very affectionately.

It can be seen that the relationship between these people should be quite deep.

Shen Nanzhi has already met Doctor Luo, and as for Uncle Liu...

Shen Nanzhi pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh, he is the Uncle Liu that your young master mentioned before, who is proficient in secret passages and mechanical devices. He even planned the secret passage under Fuyun Building? How come he is so powerful?"

Shen Nanzhi sighed, while not forgetting to observe Yuewu's expression.

Hearing her mention Uncle Liu, Yuewu seemed a little surprised that Shen Nanzhi even knew all this.

But she quickly nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, Uncle Liu is very powerful."

Shen Nanzhi pretended to ask casually: "Does he live on the second floor too?"

Yuewu shook her head and blurted out: "No, Uncle Liu has been..."

As soon as she started talking, she realized what was going on and quickly smiled at Shen Nanzhi: "I don't know where Uncle Liu is these days."

But from what she just said, it was clear that the master of mechanisms had been "not idle" recently.

As for what he was busy with, Shen Nanzhi was very curious.

But she also understood that Yuewu had already become alert, and even if she continued to ask, she would not be able to get to the bottom of the matter.

Shen Nanzhi was just about to go to the huge observation deck to take a look, but when he turned around, he met a pair of cold eyes with a hint of mocking smile.

The sunlight shone in through the palm-sized vent opposite, right onto the fox mask that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. With that look, the smile on the fox mask looked even more weird.

Xiao Yanchu half leaned against the pillar at the entrance of the stairs, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Nanzhi: "Miss Shen, if you want to know something, you might as well ask me directly."

Shen Nanzhi didn't know when he came or how much he heard, but it was obvious that his eyes had seen through her thoughts.

Shen Nanzhi imitated his tone and said sarcastically: "Then will you answer whatever I want to ask?"

Xiao Yanchu smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"That depends on what you ask, Miss Shen."

Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows and said straight to the point: "Who are you? What on earth do you want to do by imprisoning me here?"

She wanted to ask him if he was a descendant of King Ning, but since the other party had not revealed himself in front of her first, Shen Nanzhi could not reveal anything, as that would be disadvantageous to her.

Xiao Yanchu raised his hand and called Yuewu: "Go make a pot of good tea. Since Miss Shen wants to know, why don't we sit down and have a good chat."

Yuewu quickly bowed and retreated.

Xiao Yanchu glanced at Shen Nanzhi, motioned for her to follow, then walked across the corridor and sat down directly on the observation deck.

Shen Nanzhi followed closely behind and sat down on the armchair opposite him.

Although the observation deck was sealed, there were palm-sized ventilation holes every few feet on the opposite wall, so there was plenty of light.

Yuewu quickly brought the tea.

Xiao Yanchu personally poured a cup of hot tea for Shen Nanzhi, and then said leisurely: "Who do you think I am, Miss Shen?"

Shen Nanzhi held the teacup and said unhappily, "If I knew, would I still come to ask you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yanchu burst out laughing: "Why do I feel that Miss Shen already has the answer in her heart."

At this point, he paused, glanced at Yuewu beside him, and continued: "After all, Yuewu is a simple-minded girl. Miss Shen has been tricked into saying so many things. With Miss Shen's intelligence, it must not be difficult for her to guess."

Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that the questions she had asked with careful consideration were known to this person.

She subconsciously glanced at Yuewu, but heard Xiao Yanchu laugh and say, "I don't need Yuewu to complain."

Seeing Shen Nanzhi's confused expression, he raised his hand and pointed at Shen Nanzhi's room.

Then he looked at Shen Nanzhi with curved eyebrows and said, "Didn't Yuewu tell Miss Shen that I not only live downstairs from you, but also have secret compartments and mechanisms in the walls. Although I can't see your every move, I can hear you clearly even if you snore or fart."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

When did she start snoring and farting!

Shen Nanzhi wants to kill someone.

This was the first time Shen Nanzhi heard someone use such vulgar words to describe her.

Although it is human nature even if there is some, anyone would be annoyed if they were teased in public by a foreign man.

Shen Nanzhi is naturally no exception.

In shame and anger, Shen Nanzhi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "When did this happen? I didn't do it! Don't talk nonsense!"

It’s a pity that she can’t use her kung fu now and doesn’t have enough strength, otherwise, she would definitely throw the teacup at this annoying guy!

Unexpectedly, just as Shen Nanzhi finished speaking, Xiao Yanchu on the opposite side had not yet spoken when Yue Wu, who was standing beside him, lowered her voice and said faintly: "Sir, Miss Shen...it's...it's that I ate too many sweet potatoes last night..."

Yuewu couldn't continue talking and wanted to find a crack in the ground.

Her originally pretty cheeks turned red enough to seem like they were about to bleed.

Yuewu was accidentally injured again and this time she couldn't even lift her head.

Although Xiao Yanchu's expression could not be seen through the mask, his eyes also showed some surprise and embarrassment at this moment. He waved his hand: "You don't need to serve here, go down and help Lao Luo keep an eye on the medicine stove."

Yuewu felt as if she had been pardoned. She turned around and ran away.

Perhaps it was because she ran too fast, and her strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person, her footsteps were so heavy that they made the floor creak.

Seeing that she had already run to the stairs, Xiao Yanchu warned her, "Eat less sweet potatoes in the future."

Yuewu's head was about to explode. Her steps became disordered, and she, who was so good at martial arts, couldn't even control her body. She fell headfirst. Even from a long distance away, Shen Nanzhi could hear the crisp thud when her forehead hit the floor!

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

She felt that Xiao Yanchu must have done it on purpose.

Why didn't he say it earlier or later, but just said it at that moment when Yuewu was losing balance as she walked down the stairs?

This person is so evil that he even harms his own people.

After Yuewu left, they were the only two left on the huge fourth floor.

The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frown and stare at him: "If you want to get Yuewu out of here, you don't have to do this."

He could have just given the order directly, why would he have to plot against Yuewu like this?

She was his own person, with whom he lived day and night. Shen Nanzhi didn't believe that he couldn't tell that the snoring sound was made by Yuewu.

What's more, Yuewu was sleeping on the low couch opposite Shen Nanzhi, so even based on the location where the snoring and farting sounds came from, it could be determined that they were Yuewu's.

He was just deliberately using the excuse of mocking Shen Nanzhi to tease Yuewu.

Facing Shen Nanzhi's cold eyes, Xiao Yanchu smiled slightly: "Miss Shen is really smart. You figured it out. She is not tight-lipped, so she should be taught a lesson. Besides, this is nothing."

It was nothing. He didn't even need to lose face to make Yuewu suffer a setback. She received all the necessary punishment and ridicule. But in Yuewu's eyes, he was still the good-tempered and nice young man.

Even because of this, Yuewu will definitely remember it deeply.

This man's calculations of human nature made Shen Nanzhi even more cautious.

Even if she could provoke him, Shen Nanzhi couldn't be sure now how real he was when he was angry.

Or maybe it was all part of his plan, and he was just performing it for her.

Shen Nanzhi frowned and said nothing.

Xiao Yanchu was wearing a fox mask today, and it was clear that he couldn't drink tea, but he held the teacup seriously, lowered his eyes to look at the foam in the tea, and said lightly: "The crown prince has not been appointed yet, and the people in the court are unstable. Miss Shen, who do you think can take on this important task?"

Shen Nanzhi was clearly holding a hot teacup in her hand, but at this moment she felt completely cold.

Because Xiao Yanchu's words and actions were getting closer and closer to her previous guesses.

Although she was surprised, Shen Nanzhi said calmly, "I am just a girl in the boudoir. I have never paid attention to these important events in the court."

Hearing this, Xiao Yanchu suddenly laughed.

There was a smile in his eyes, but it was terribly cold: "Miss Shen is joking."

At this point, he paused, looked at Shen Nanzhi meaningfully, and then slowly said: "If Miss Shen didn't know the situation in the court very well, how could she encourage your uncle to go to the Qingzhou old house to persuade the old Duke."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat.

I didn't expect that he even knew this!
