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

"I really don't want to leave, what should I do?"

Xiao Chuyun put his arm around Shen Nanzhi's waist, holding her steadily in his arms, with one hand protecting her shoulders, wishing he could embed her entire body into his.

He lowered his head and leaned over to her ear.

There is the fear and anxiety of being reborn when happiness suddenly arrives, and there is also the reluctance to part.

Although this is a side door of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and few people usually walk through this alley, it does not mean that there are no people walking on it.

Shen Nanzhi's heart beat faster, fearing that someone would see her.

Her hand happened to be on Xiao Chuyun's chest. Shen Nanzhi tried to push it away, but failed. Instead, Xiao Chuyun hugged her even tighter.

"Your Majesty..."

Shen Nanzhi was about to speak when Xiao Chuyun rubbed her neck. His hot breath sprayed on her neck. Shen Nanzhi felt like she was on fire. The strange feeling made her feel a little flustered.

"Just hug for a while, just for a while."

Xiao Chuyun's voice was no more clear and gentle than usual. At this moment, it seemed to be extremely restrained, a little hoarse, and with a hint of humble desire.

Shen Nanzhi's heart softened all of a sudden.

But Xiao Chuyun's hot and powerful palm covered her waist, and the strong presence made Shen Nanzhi unable to ignore it at all. Her ears also turned red and climbed all the way to her cheeks.

But Xiao Chuyun suddenly opened his mouth and rubbed her earlobe with the tip of his teeth.

Although it didn't hurt, the numbness seemed to penetrate deep into his bones, causing Shen Nanzhi's heart to tremble.

She suddenly regretted it.

Before, she thought Xiao Chuyun was too polite and courteous to her, and always felt that there was a lack of intimacy between them that should exist between a man and a woman who were already engaged.

But now...

Is it too much?

Shen Nanzhi was a little overwhelmed.

Unlike other things, she can find a way to deal with it from past experiences or experience.

This was the first time Shen Nanzhi, who had lived two lives, had ever seen such intimacy and ambiguity in a fan fiction. Her head was hotter than her cheeks, and she had no idea how to react.

Fortunately, Xiao Chuyun quickly let go of her earlobe.

He lowered his head and buried it in Shen Nanzhi's neck. "After we finish the Zhou family's mission this time, our father will no longer be able to hold us back on our wedding date. Then, how about we pick a date that's close by?"

Shen Nanzhi was still a little dazed and responded casually: "Ah?"

Xiao Chuyun smiled and explained, "June 20, August 16, and the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. I have seen the alternative wedding dates that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is preparing to submit. Which day do you think is suitable, Miss Shen?"

Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that he had even looked at the wedding date that the Imperial Observatory was preparing to submit for selection.

According to him, June 20th... is less than three months away. Isn't it... too rushed?

Whether it is the preparations for the wedding or Shen Nanzhi's mentality, it seems that they are not ready yet.

Shen Nanzhi moved her lips and was about to speak, but she heard Xiao Chuyun muffledly say, "Is it really too much of a stretch?"

At this point, his voice was filled with a bit of grievance as he said, "I know that Miss Shen's decision to marry me was a helpless choice. Originally, you were going to marry Young Marquis Xie. After all, you were childhood sweethearts..."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

That's not what she meant!

Why is he still feeling wronged?

She could still fight back against the vicious and annoying Xiao Yanchu, at least she would not suffer any loss. But when facing Xiao Chuyun who took the initiative to show weakness and was sour, Shen Nanzhi's heart softened for no reason. She was afraid that he would be disappointed and sad, so she quickly explained: "Don't worry, my lord, there is no love affair between me and the young Marquis Xie. It's not what you think."

Whether she initially chose to marry Xie Changyuan or Xiao Chuyun, it was all to avoid the outcome where the emperor would marry her to Xiao Qian'an.

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun's voice was filled with joy.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Shen Nanzhi with surprise and joy: "Really?"

Shen Nanzhi was about to nod, but in the blink of an eye she thought of the imperial decree that suddenly came down and interrupted her marriage with Xie Changyuan.

On that day, both the Shen and Xie families were present, and Xiao Chuyun was also there.

Moreover, judging from his expression at the time and his subsequent reminder, he had obviously expected the imperial edict from Xie Changyuan and Xiao Xiangxue to come down.

With his calculations, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but wonder, "Is there also the prince's handiwork in this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun looked calm and said seriously, "How could this be? This is clearly Xiao Qi'an's plan."

This time it was Shen Nanzhi's turn to look at him: "Really?"

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard deep in the alley, someone was coming.

Xiao Chuyun nodded, then put Shen Nanzhi down and told her, "Take good care of yourself. You can use all the people I left in Kyoto."

Xiao Chuyun looked at Shen Nanzhi deeply and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Wait for him to come back and marry her.

After saying this, he quickly turned the carriage around and left.

Looking at his back, Shen Nanzhi felt that he seemed to be fleeing in a panic.

Could it be that she was right?

Could it be that the Emperor had some plans behind his decision when he granted Xie Changyuan his marriage?

But just at this moment someone came out from the depths of the alley. Shen Nanzhi was afraid that she was overthinking it. It should be that Xiao Chuyun didn't want to be seen and cause trouble to her, so he hurriedly withdrew.

Thinking about it again, Xiao Xiangxue did like Xie Changyuan, and was on the same side as Xiao Qian'an. No matter how you looked at it, it was Xiao Qian'an's doing and had nothing to do with Xiao Chuyun, so Shen Nanzhi didn't think about it any more.

Moreover, the man who just walked over greeted Shen Nanzhi: "Miss? You're back!"

After confirming that it was Shen Nanzhi, the man hurried forward to pay his respects, his excitement barely concealed in his words.

Shen Nanzhi then regained his composure and looked up, only to see that it was a secret guard of the Shen family, who had probably heard some noise and rushed over to check out.

As she walked through the side door, she asked, "How was things at home during the days I was away?"

The man bowed and said, "It is unknown how the several masters in the inner courtyard are, but the young master only left me and two others behind. The rest of the secret guards were sent out to look for the whereabouts of the young lady, and they have not returned yet."

Without asking, Shen Nanzhi could imagine that her mother and aunt must have been unable to sleep or eat well these days.

She nodded and ordered, "Go tell cousin Changan that I'm back."

Shen Changan will naturally take care of the rest.

The Shen family was concerned about her reputation and would definitely cover up this matter. Apart from these secret guards and the personal maidservants serving in her yard, no one else in the mansion was probably aware of it.

The man took the order and retreated. Shen Nanzhi then walked through the eaves, climbed over the courtyard wall, and walked along the eaves and walls, avoiding the maids and servants in the mansion, and went towards her courtyard.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

When Shen Nanzhi climbed over the wall and returned to her room, she saw her mother sitting at the head of her bed wiping her tears.

Except for Qiuyu, all the maids in the yard were sent away on the grounds that Shen Nanzhi was seriously ill and needed rest.

When her mother Shen Yanxin saw Shen Nanzhi suddenly jumping in through the window, she was startled.

The tears on her face had not yet dried. She stared at Shen Nanzhi blankly for a long time before she came to her senses: "Is... Zhizhi back?"

For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating.

Hearing A Niang's voice, Shen Nanzhi's nose felt sore. He rushed forward and threw himself into her arms, choking with sobs, "A Niang! I'm sorry for making you worry!"

Xiao Chuyun had no choice but to do this. In order to protect her without exposing his identity, he also had to be on guard and plan to catch Qin Suyi and others in one fell swoop. Naturally, he could not reveal her whereabouts to the Shen family.

Fortunately, everything is over.

Shen Yanxin hugged Shen Nanzhi tightly and looked her up and down. She was relieved to make sure she was fine and not injured. Then she couldn't help but worried, "Zhizhi, where have you been these days? I heard from Qiuyu that the little monk kidnapped you. Your cousin in Chang'an almost searched the Xiangguo Temple thoroughly these two days, but he didn't find any information about your whereabouts. Everyone is so worried."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "I was wrong. Actually, the little monk had good intentions that day, but he was afraid that I would not follow him, so he deliberately provoked me. He saw that I was so weak and took me to see a miracle doctor. Thanks to his treatment, not only did my injuries heal, but my kung fu also improved. If you don't believe me, just take a look."

Of course, the fewer people who knew about Xiao Yanchu's affairs, the better.

It’s not that Shen Nanzhi doesn’t trust A Niang, but he doesn’t want one more person to worry about this.

As she spoke, Shen Nanzhi was about to stand up and show Shen Yanxin, but Shen Yanxin grabbed her wrist and said, "Are you hiding something else from your mother?"

However, no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Even if Shen Nanzhi’s acting skills were great, Shen Yanxin could see through it at once.

Shen Nanzhi was thinking about how to get over it, but she heard Shen Yanxin suddenly sigh: "Forget it, you always have your considerations, as long as you are okay."

A'niang is still so reasonable and considerate.

Shen Nanzhi happily hugged her arm and rubbed it affectionately: "Thank you, mother!"

Shen Yanxin helplessly reached out and touched the tip of Shen Nanzhi's nose.

"Your aunts have been worried these days, especially your eldest aunt. If she had known that a ritual could go so wrong, she would definitely not agree. And your youngest uncle happened to be away from home. She was really anxious! Fortunately, you are fine. You just came back and have a good rest. I will go and explain to her."

Shen Nanzhi also felt bad.

However, speaking of her uncle Shen Huaishu, she had already asked Xiao Chuyun on the way back to the city.

My uncle did encounter the fake Master Huiming, who was chased by the assassin arranged by Fang Hongyi, but was rescued by Xiao Chuyun's men at the critical moment. The jade pendant was also picked up and sent back by Xiao Chuyun's men at that time. It happened that Xiao Chuyun turned into Xiao Yanchu and used this to control Shen Nanzhi.

And just as Shen Nanzhi had guessed before, there was indeed something wrong with Zhou Shun, who was beside her uncle.

It turned out that he was a hidden chess piece that Fang Hongyi had planted in the Shen family for so many years.

If Xiao Chuyun hadn't taken advantage of the situation this time, he wouldn't have been able to be blown out.

Since this is the case, Shen Nanzhi naturally cannot keep him any longer.

But she didn't intend to let her mother know this.

After just a few days of not seeing her, A-niang had lost a lot of weight. Not only were her eyes red and swollen, but her eyes were also dark blue. It was obvious that she had not rested well and had not eaten well.

Shen Nanzhi felt distressed when she saw this: "Mother, you should also have a good rest and take care of yourself. Your daughter's wedding will still need you to take care of it. You can't let your aunt suffer all the trouble."

Shen Nanzhi had never mentioned the wedding date with Xiao Chuyun before. Shen Yanxin was so perceptive that she immediately heard the hidden meaning behind Shen Nanzhi's words, "Have you and the prince decided on a wedding date?"

At this point, Shen Yanxin paused slightly, as if she had thought of something, and then asked: "I heard that the King of Zhenbei has been closed to visitors recently and recuperating at home. Zhizhi, you are not with the prince these days, right?"

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

She couldn't explain this for a moment.

Xiao Chuyun was actually supposed to be carrying out a secret mission in Yuzhou, and the Shen family didn't know about it. No matter what she said, she shouldn't be with Xiao Chuyun.

Shen Nanzhi could only shake his head and deny: "No, I just heard the prince mention this before. He said that when he gets better, the Imperial Observatory will submit several alternative wedding dates. If there are no accidents, the emperor will choose one from them."

Shen Nanzhi did not say for sure that it was June 20th. She only needed to mention it to her mother, and her mother and aunt would naturally start to make arrangements immediately. According to the recent dates, they were afraid that they would not be well prepared and would neglect her.

Fortunately, Ah Niang did not ask her whereabouts in the past few days. She just smiled and said, "Okay, I will discuss it with your aunt later. You should wash up and change your clothes first. If you are in good spirits, go and say hello to your aunt and the others. If you are tired, take a rest first. It will not be too late to go after you get up."

"Okay, grandma."

Shen Nanzhi personally escorted Shen Yanxin to the door.

She turned back and saw Qiu Yu, whose eyes had been red just now but she had been trying hard to hold back, could no longer control herself and knelt down in front of her: "Miss, it is my incompetence that has implicated you!"

Shen Nanzhi waved his hand: "Don't blame you, the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't expect it."

Shen Nanzhi didn't want to say more about this matter, and only said: "This matter ends here, don't leak any of it to the outside world."

Qiu Yu kowtowed quickly to express her gratitude, and promised: "I only mentioned this to the young lady when I woke up that day."

Shen Nanzhi nodded, and was about to ask her to get some hot water so she could take a shower and change her clothes, but suddenly she thought of Lu Pianpian.

"Where's Pianpian?"

Qiu Yu was startled when she heard this, and asked back, "Didn't she disappear with the young lady?"

Seeing Shen Nanzhi's slightly frowned brows, Qiu Yu finally reacted: "Isn't she with the young lady?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi shook his head.

Xiao Chuyun only kidnapped her and did not mention Lu Pianpian. Moreover, Fang Hongyi and Qin Suyi's target was not Lu Pianpian. Lu Pianpian should not be involved in this incident.

Could it be that she returned to the Zhenbei Palace?

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi hurriedly ordered Qiuyu to send someone to the Zhenbei Palace to inquire.

Although she was worried, Shen Nanzhi could only wait for news from the Zhenbei Palace.

Even though Yuewu had protected her very well before, after passing through the dark and damp secret passage, and along the way, Shen Nanzhi's body got quite dirty.

After she washed up, she changed into a new Bixiayunjin dress and felt much more refreshed. She was about to go and greet her aunts when she heard Chuntao, who was in charge of passing messages outside, hurriedly report: "Miss, the Seventh Prince is here. He said he has something important to tell you and asked to see you."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frown.

It's hard not to think too much when Xiao Qian'an comes at this time.
