Just like a drowning person grabbing the last piece of driftwood, besides surprise, Xiao Chuyun was more afraid.

He was afraid that he had heard it wrongly.

I'm afraid he will misunderstand me.

These few simple sentences rolled over his mind countless times, but he still couldn't be sure of what they meant.

Because of nervousness, the strength in his hands increased uncontrollably, causing Shen Nanzhi to hiss and cry out in pain, which finally brought Xiao Chuyun back to his senses.

He quickly loosened the strength on his hands, but he still did not let go. He just stared at Shen Nanzhi's eyes, afraid to miss the slightest change of emotion in her eyes.

But Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and asked instead of answering, "Why, Your Majesty, do you want to break off the engagement? Do you not want to marry me anymore?"

The moment he heard this, Xiao Chuyun seemed to have thousands of words stuck in his heart.

The meaning of this sentence instantly sent Xiao Chuyun, who had already been thrown into the Avici Hell, to the clouds.

The greatest joys and sorrows in life are just like this.

He even began to doubt his own ears.

Xiao Chuyun choked up and said, "But I am..."

But he is Xiao Yanchu, not only will he bring her endless troubles, but there is also a deep blood feud between them.

Xiao Chuyun didn't even dare to hope that Shen Nanzhi could let it go.

But in fact, Shen Nanzhi suddenly lowered his head, raised his hand and pinched the corner of his mouth, threatening him fiercely: "Don't mention that damn Xiao Yanchu to me!"

Of course, this was just a joke from Shen Nanzhi. Xiao Yanchu had suffered too much and shouldered too much. She hoped that he would have a smooth and stable life for the rest of his life and that he could have a fulfilling life with the identity of Xiao Chuyun.

What does it matter whether he is the real Xiao Chuyun or not? As long as he is willing, he is.

Moreover, the real Xiao Chuyun, that sickly and frail child did not even reach adulthood and had already died of illness in the cold palace. The one who truly stepped into the public eye, established connections with this world and achieved such achievements today is the person in front of him.

There's nothing wrong with saying he is Xiao Chuyun.

After saying this, Shen Nanzhi's eyes were red first, "You are my future husband, Xiao Chuyun, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun's eyes lit up, finally understanding Shen Nanzhi's meaning. His tone was full of surprise and a little bit of anxiety, and he asked uneasily: "Are you still willing to marry me?"

Shen Nanzhi snorted and pretended to be angry, "You haven't finished tricking me before. I'll consider it again after I calm down."

However, as soon as she finished her words, Xiao Chuyun pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would run away.

Shen Nanzhi was forced to lean against him and listen to the strong heartbeat in his chest.

His head rested against the top of her head, and although he said nothing, at that moment, what was said between them was worth more than a thousand words.

After he recovered, Xiao Chuyun was afraid of hurting Shen Nanzhi, so he loosened his grip a little and said, "Then may I ask Miss Shen, how can I calm down?"

After hearing Shen Nanzhi's complaints, Xiao Chuyun originally wanted to change the address, but then he remembered what she said that there was no need to change it, and after the wedding anyway, it would be changed to "Madam", so Xiao Chuyun gave up the idea and still called her Miss Shen.

Although the address has not changed, now that he has told her his feelings, both of their moods have changed, so this time, calling her "Miss Shen" seems to carry a bit more lingering and affectionate tone than before, and has a different kind of interest.

In addition, his voice was pleasant to the ear, like the sound of cold jade. Even if it was only three words, Shen Nanzhi's ears were instantly numb.

She felt her heartbeat quicken and her ears began to feel hot.

Shen Nanzhi quickly moved, struggling to stick her head out of his arms, and responded to him jokingly: "That depends on your performance, Your Majesty."

Today, Shen Nanzhi wore a scarlet gauze dress. Although her hair was a little messy, her appearance made her look even more charming and beautiful.

She had a slender figure, and even when she was pressed in Xiao Chuyun's arms, he didn't feel her weight.

However, that graceful figure seemed to ignite a fire in him.

Even just a glance, without any deliberate teasing, can make him instantly lose his guard and his desire cannot be extinguished.

Xiao Chuyun's Adam's apple rolled, and the hand that was originally covering Shen Nanzhi's waist couldn't help but tighten a little. His eyes were dark and unclear, and his voice was hoarse: "I remember that Miss Shen said that in front of you, I can always be myself. I wonder if this still counts?"

Shen Nanzhi didn't know why he suddenly brought this up again. Although she didn't understand why, she still responded casually, "Of course it counts."

What Shen Nanzhi didn't know was that these words made Xiao Chuyun's heart move, and he could no longer control his emotions.

He raised his hand and grabbed the back of Shen Nanzhi's head, and before Shen Nanzhi could react, he couldn't help but kiss her.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze and everything around was eclipsed.

Only Shen Nanzhi's beautiful face and the surprise in her eyes that she had not yet reacted to were reflected in his eyes.

He gently intertwined his breath with hers, and in an almost pious gesture, he slowly approached those two soft and tempting lips.

The moment they touched, both of them were stunned. The gentle and hot touch seemed to penetrate the depths of each other's souls.

Xiao Chuyun's kiss was gentle and affectionate, like the drizzle blowing across the newly opened petals in spring, delicate and full of infinite love.

At first, Shen Nanzhi's mind was blank, but in the blink of an eye it was like millions of fireworks blooming one after another, brilliant and dazzling, making her heart beat like thunder. For a moment she forgot how to react, and even forgot to breathe.

It was not until Xiao Chuyun let her go that Shen Nanzhi finally felt the fresh air entering her lungs again.

Her palm was right on his chest, and she could clearly feel his heartbeat and breathing, which were almost out of control.

Liu Jingya once told her that when you like someone, your heartbeat can't lie.

It was not until this moment that Shen Nanzhi had a deep understanding.

Her cheeks were burning hot and she felt a little embarrassed, so she couldn't help but glare at Xiao Chuyun coquettishly: "Xiao Chuyun! I just asked you to be yourself, but I didn't ask you to do whatever you want to me!"

He actually kissed her, and only then did Shen Nanzhi realize that she was still lying in his arms. The distance between them was so ambiguous and embarrassing.

Shen Nanzhi was about to support herself and stand up, but unexpectedly Xiao Chuyun touched her cheek.

His fingers were slender and well-defined, like jade. His fingertips were so hot that it felt like fire when they fell on Shen Nanzhi's cheek, causing Shen Nanzhi's face to burn as well.

Before she could avoid him, she heard Xiao Chuyun smiling and looking at her affectionately. His voice was hoarse and sincere, and he said with emotion: "But my true self is that I want to do whatever I want to Miss Shen."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

What kind of tiger and wolf words is this!

She was surprised at how Xiao Chuyun could say such words seriously.

Especially the last few words, he almost bit Shen Nanzhi's earlobe while speaking, and the hot breath sprayed on Shen Nanzhi's neck.

Shen Nanzhi, who had never experienced sex, felt as if his brain was about to explode.

It was not until this moment that she finally understood what Xiao Chuyun's reaction meant when she first said this in her courtyard.

At that time he said: "No problem, but... not now... I have to wait until you get better..."

Shen Nanzhi didn't hear the hidden meaning behind Xiao Chuyun's words at all at that time.

She was still thinking, why not now?

She told Xiao Chuyun that he didn't need to pretend in front of her and just be himself. What did it have to do with her getting along?

Now Shen Nanzhi understood.

Her heart was burning, and she couldn't help but glare at Xiao Chuyun, saying angrily, "You lecher!"

Xiao Chuyun couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Although he wanted more, he knew to stop after just a taste and not scare her.

Moreover, they don't have much time left.

Xiao Qian'an and Shen Chang'an's people are coming soon.

Xiao Chuyun finally helped Shen Nanzhi up.

"I have to go. If they see me, there will be trouble."

At this time, Xiao Chuyun should be on his way to Yuzhou and should not appear in the capital.

As he spoke, Xiao Chuyun stood up holding Shen Nanzhi, and was about to put her down, but he was reluctant to do so. He hugged her tightly in his arms, wishing he could rub her into his own bones and blood, stay with her all the time, and depend on her for life and death, until the end of their lives.

Such crazy possessiveness even made Xiao Chuyun himself a little frightened.

He sneered, fortunately he was still able to disguise and suppress himself, otherwise he would really scare her.

After trying hard to suppress the madness and desire in his heart, Xiao Chuyun leaned over Shen Nanzhi's neck and took a deep breath, then said softly: "I should go."

Shen Nanzhi understood the truth, but she still subconsciously grabbed Xiao Chuyun's sleeve: "Yuewu and I will leave too. I don't want to be involved in the deaths of these people."

She doesn't want this huge credit.

She just wanted to stay away from this matter to avoid being noticed by someone with ulterior motives and eventually tracing it back to Xiao Chuyun.

Xiao Chuyun understood Shen Nanzhi's meaning in an instant. He respected her choice and nodded, "Okay, then I'll take you back first."

Shen Nanzhi turned around and took a look at the mess and blood on the ground, and asked worriedly: "Have all those traces and connections been cleaned up?"

She was afraid that someone would trace Xiao Chuyun through Master Huiming or Xiangguo Temple.

Shen Nanzhi is now more worried about his identity being exposed than Xiao Chuyun.

Seeing the concern in her eyes, Xiao Chuyun's eyebrows were gentle, but his tone was very reassuring, "Don't worry."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Fang Hongyi's body. Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing a face that was completely different from Master Huiming.

That was the original appearance of his uncle Fang Hongyi.

He became Xiao Chuyun and grew up to become the current King of Zhenbei. Fang Hongyi originally plotted to murder Master Huiming and replace him. After so many years of hard work, he also developed Xiangguo Temple into a stronghold for the remnants of King Ning, and it has begun to take shape.

Hatred had already blinded his eyes and made him paranoid and crazy.

Knowing that Xiao Chuyun was unwilling to participate in his plan, he turned his attention to Shen Nanzhi.

After all, considering the blood relationship, Xiao Chuyun could allow him to live in Xiangguo Temple, but he could not allow him to set his sights on Shen Nanzhi.

This is his bottom line.

Goodbye, uncle.

Goodbye, Xiao Yanchu.

Xiao Chuyun took one last look at Fang Hongyi's strange yet familiar face, then put away the mask, turned around and left, never looking back.

Shen Nanzhi stood silently beside him, waiting for him to finish his work before letting him take her hand and leave. But at the moment of taking a step, Shen Nanzhi suddenly remembered to come alone.

Moon dance!

The Moon Dancer she had forgotten.

Shen Nanzhi felt very ashamed when he thought about how Yuewu had fought for him, but he ended up losing his mind because of Xiao Chuyun and forgot about Yuewu.

She quickly broke free from Xiao Chuyun's hand and was about to turn around to hug the unconscious Yuewu, but when she turned around she was met with Yuewu's shining eyes.

Although Yuewu was still lying motionless on the ground, she had woken up at some point and was looking at Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun with a gossipy look on her face.

After meeting Shen Nanzhi's gaze, Yuewu quickly raised her hands and covered her eyes like she was trying to cover her ears and steal a bell: "Miss Shen, I didn't see anything, just continue, just continue."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

If you didn't see it, why cover your eyes?

There is no three hundred taels of silver here.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but turn around and look at Xiao Chuyun: "Could Yuewu be Mo Yun's lost biological sister?"

Xiao Chuyun showed a rare expression of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Xiao Chuyun is going to Yuzhou, Shen Nanzhi is returning to the city, and as for Yue Wu, according to Xiao Chuyun's arrangement, she will stay in a secret base on the outskirts of the city first, contact the remaining old subordinates who are only loyal to Xiao Yanchu for Xiao Chuyun, and then take them to leave the capital in secret, completely erasing any traces of Xiao Yanchu left in the capital.

The three should have acted separately.

But Xiao Chuyun was still worried about Shen Nanzhi, so he wore a sheepskin mask and sent Shen Nanzhi all the way to the nearest post station. He rented a carriage and personally sent Shen Nanzhi to the side door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion before planning to leave quietly.

Before jumping off the carriage, Shen Nanzhi handed the plum blossom handkerchief she had embroidered to Xiao Chuyun.

"Yuzhou is a thousand miles away. Considering the time, His Majesty may not be able to come back in time to celebrate his birthday. This is my birthday gift to His Majesty in advance."

After saying this, thinking of his previous mockery of her embroidery work when he was Xiao Yanchu, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but add: "If the prince dislikes it, just throw it away."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Chuyun grabbed her in his arms and said with great certainty: "No way, Miss Shen's embroidery is unparalleled in the world!"

Shen Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.

She was about to say he was sweet-mouthed, but Xiao Chuyun said seriously, "Look at this, the flower is a flower, the petals are petals, it's so lifelike."

Shen Nanzhi, who seemed a little embarrassed just now, also figured out what was going on.

This wasn't a compliment to her at all; he was clearly using the same tone that Xiao Yanchu used at that time to tease her in a different way!

Shen Nanzhi was about to get angry, but he suddenly chuckled, "I like it very much."

At the end, he added: "I'm talking about flowers, but also people."

The blushing love words suddenly entered Shen Nanzhi's ears.

Shen Nanzhi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and before she could react, Xiao Chuyun pulled her into his arms.
