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

That was the signal agreed upon by Shen Nanzhi and Mo Yun.

Mo Yun did not disappoint Shen Nanzhi.

Seeing this flag flower means that Lu Pianpian is in the Xie family!

The moment he saw the flag flower, Shen Nanzhi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.

As long as Lu Pianpian is here, it's fine.

Even if the Xie family is in danger today, she will rescue Lu Pianpian.

Shen Nanzhi stood up and looked coldly at Mrs. Xie who was kneeling on the ground: "Pianpian is in your house, what else do you have to say? Do you want me to lead people to kill him and rescue him, or do you hand him over obediently?"

Shen Nanzhi was filled with murderous intent, which made Mrs. Xie fall to the ground involuntarily.

With red eyes, she looked at Shen Yanxin nervously: "Yanxin, Wanting is my only daughter. She is my life! I just want to save her. I have no choice!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to pull at the hem of Shen Yanxin's clothes, but before she could get even a little bit touched, Shen Nanzhi raised her wrist, and a dagger flew out of her hand, brushing past Madam Xie's fingertips and then nailed firmly to the floor.

Even though it just brushed past the finger, it still scraped off a layer of flesh on Mrs. Xie's fingertips, causing blood to ooze out immediately and she screamed in pain.

The maids outside kept asking questions, but under the gaze of Shen Yanxin, who was as calm as a deep pool, Madam Xie gritted her teeth and finally endured it, and shouted to the outsiders: "I'm fine, everyone retreat!"

Seeing this scene, Shen Nanzhi was very curious about what kind of handle on her did her mother have that made her so cautious.

But this was not the time to talk, Shen Nanzhi just said coldly: "Don't try to play tricks, and don't touch my mother, otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will still have this finger next time."

Mrs. Xie's face was as pale as paper, but she dared not say a word.

Shen Yanxin took a step forward, looked down at her, and said calmly: "You said you were helpless, but if you really came to me for your daughter, I might not be unwilling to help you out of consideration for our old relationship. Moreover, since your daughter has woken up, you still trapped Pian Pian, and even forced others to place so many masters here. Are you waiting for my Zhizhi to come to your door for you to bully?"

"Your daughter is your life, and so is my Zhizhi? Moreover, Pianpian is my goddaughter, how dare you plot against her!"

At this point, Shen Yanxin's usually gentle eyes flashed with sarcasm, "Speaking of which, my Zhizhi and Pianpian are a thousand times better than your stupid daughter. I think even if her brain is cured, she is still a fool, just like you."

When she said the last sentence, Shen Yanxin's eyes were already cold.

Hearing this, Fourth Madam Xie was angry and resentful, but she could do nothing but said, "I didn't think so! It's just...it's just that she bullied Wanting before, so I selfishly thought...and gave Wanting some vent, but I didn't want your daughter's life! It's..."

When she said this, she was stunned, and immediately clenched her teeth to suppress the name that was about to come out of her mouth.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "I know even if you don't tell me, Princess Zhaoning, Xiao Xiangxue."

There are many people related to Fourth Miss Xie, but the only ones who had a feud with Shen Nanzhi are Xiao Xiangxue, and Liu Jingya's half-sister Liu Jingyi can also be counted as one.

The force that can send so many experts at once that even Xiao Qi has to be wary of is definitely not an ordinary force.

Liu Jingyi's ability is limited, so she can only rely on the fifth prince Xiao Ziyi. But after the incident at Fuyun Tower, Xiao Ziyi's power was jointly suppressed and investigated by Xiao Chuyun and Xiao Qian'an. During this period, he was afraid of being caught with something, so he was lucky enough not to keep a low profile and not cause any more trouble at this time.

The remaining one is Xiao Xiangxue.

The reason why Shen Nanzhi thought it was her was because two days ago, Xiao Xiangxue, who was originally ordered to be under house arrest for a month, was released early because she was going to the Spring Examination.

Moreover, Shen Nanzhi also saw on the blueprints of the capital that the princess mansion chosen by Xiao Xiangxue was separated from the Xie family by an alley and was the former site of the Prince Qi's mansion.

Xiao Xiangxue has reached marriageable age and has been engaged to Young Marquis Xie, so it is time for her to leave the palace and build her own home.

So it’s no wonder that Shen Nanzhi met Xiao Xiangxue on the street several times some time ago. She was supposed to be in the deep palace. At that time, she came out to check the mansion.

Based on Shen Nanzhi's understanding of Xiao Xiangxue, she is such a vindictive person and will definitely come after her again.

Although Shen Nanzhi did not have any definite evidence, this sentence was also meant to gauge Mrs. Xie's reaction.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xie was slightly startled. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Shen Nanzhi. At that moment, there was obvious surprise and panic in her eyes.

Shen Nanzhi continued, "Princess Zhaoning wanted to teach me a lesson, and you wanted to save your daughter, so you hit it off. Oh, by the way, there might be more than just Princess Zhaoning. Maybe Concubine Zhang is behind this."

Otherwise, where did these experts arranged by Xiao Xiangxue come from?

Madam Xie had nothing to say, she just trembled all over and said, "Yan Xin, I can't do anything! Wanting has become like that, and Zhenglin is not in the capital. They are threatening me with Wanting... What can I do? Besides, these people won't listen to me. Even if you put a knife to my neck, I can't do anything."

She said there was nothing she could do, but in reality it was her selfishness that was at work.

Shen Yanxin sneered: "They can threaten you with your daughter, do you think I can't?"

"Do you want to send someone to ask where your daughter is now?"

Hearing this, Fourth Madam Xie was struck by lightning. She couldn't even pretend to be innocent anymore. She stood up suddenly, pointed at Shen Yanxin, and her tone suddenly became colder: "Shen Yanxin! What are you going to do to Wanting?"

The sky was getting darker.

There were only two lights on in the room. As a breeze flowed in, the lights flickered, making Shen Yanxin's expression even softer. But the words she said were chilling: "It's nothing. When you call Pian Pian out, I will let her come back. But looking at her small body, she may not be able to withstand the torture of the Zhenguo Mansion. I advise you to prepare early."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Madam Xie lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.

She held onto the red rosewood armchair next to her with one hand, steadied herself, and then said, "Okay! Don't hurt Wanting! I'll tell them to let her go right now!"

As she spoke, she seemed to have made some kind of decision, and quickly turned around and shouted to the maids and servants waiting outside, "Go and ask Guard Wang to bring the person over! Go quickly!"

Because of nervousness and fear, there was a hint of hysteria in her voice. She was afraid that if she was a step late, Shen Yanxin would be completely enraged, which would be detrimental to Xie Wanting.

Soon footsteps were heard outside the yard.

Shen Nanzhi looked in the direction of the sound, and at one glance her heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a fist.

The middle-aged man whom Madam Xie called Guard Wang was carrying a little girl covered in blood in one hand like a chicken.

Her two hair buns that were once full of vitality had long been disheveled into a tangled mess. The original fabric and style of her clothes could no longer be seen, and they were covered with whip marks and blood.

The clever and eccentric little girl seemed to be lifeless at this moment. She was held up like this limply without any reaction at all.

"elegant!"

Even someone as calm as Shen Nanzhi had tears in her eyes at this moment.

She took a step forward and was about to take Lu Pianpian from the guard Wang, but unexpectedly the man looked at her with vigilance. Not only did he not give the person to her, but he also protected Lu Pianpian behind him and raised his hand to draw his sword.

His reaction was quick enough, but his movements were much slower than Shen Nanzhi's.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi turned his ankle and flew forward. The moment his hand touched the hilt of the sword, he kicked his wrist directly and stabbed the arm that was holding Lu Pianpian with a dagger.

The moment he felt pain and let go of Lu Pianpian a little, Shen Nanzhi had already snatched Lu Pianpian away and kicked him out, and he fell heavily to the ground with a bang.

He wanted to get up, but Xiao Qi's sword was already on his neck.

"elegant!"

Shen Nanzhi took Lu Pianpian in his arms, then checked Lu Pianpian's pulse and found that although she was seriously injured, they were all external injuries. Her pulse was weak but relatively stable. Shen Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, she turned around and looked coldly at Mrs. Xie.

That look frightened Fourth Madam Xie, and she waved her hands and explained, "This has nothing to do with me. It was...Princess Zhaoning who did it herself...She said..."

Perhaps it was because Shen Nanzhi's murderous look was too terrifying, and Madam Xie didn't dare to say anything else.

But Shen Nanzhi had already guessed it.

It was nothing more than that Xiao Xiangxue transferred her hatred to Lu Pianpian, and when she learned that it was Lu Pianpian who saved Shen Nanzhi before, she felt that Lu Pianpian was unforgivable in her eyes.

At this moment, Shen Nanzhi's hands holding Lu Pianpian were trembling a little.

She gritted her teeth and looked at Madam Xie Si: "Are those guards Xiao Xiangxue's people?"

Madam Xie nodded quickly: "Yes, I have heard a few words quietly. These people are the imperial guards. They were assigned to her by Concubine Zhang after she left the palace to build a mansion. I don't know the exact number, but there are twelve of them, headed by Guard Wang."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi's eyes became even colder.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiangxue did not use these palace guards to protect herself, but used them to deal with her first.

These people, like the Shen family's secret guards, are only loyal to one person. Since they have followed Xiao Xiangxue, it is impossible for them to have second thoughts.

Shen Nanzhi stood up holding Lu Pianpian, and looked coldly at Guard Wang who was suppressed by Xiao Qi and could not move: "Before, you were also following orders. It was your duty. I can let it go, but are you sure you still want to follow Xiao Xiangxue to do evil?"

Hearing this, the guard Wang not only refused to admit his mistake, but also said stubbornly: "Since we have followed the princess, we must swear allegiance to her until death!"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Okay, then you all... just go and die."

Hearing this, Guard Wang said coldly: "Don't be so complacent. Do you think that I would dare to bring this girl here alone just because of Madam Xie's words?"

After saying that, he suddenly asked loudly: "What are you still standing there for?"

However, he waited for a few moments, but there was no movement inside or outside the courtyard, only the rustling sound of leaves in the evening breeze.

Guard Wang then realized that something was wrong.

Shen Nanzhi looked at him coldly: "Do you really think that the secret guards of my Shen family who have walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood can be compared with you pampered wastes in the palace?"

What's more, Mo Yun and others echoed him.

The reason why he was so cautious before was because the situation was unclear and he didn't see through their game. He was afraid of being gossiped about, and even more afraid of alerting the enemy and implicating Lu Pianpian.

Now that Lu Pianpian has been rescued, Shen Nanzhi has nothing to worry about.

She didn't even give Guard Wang a chance to be surprised, and directly ordered: "Kill them all, throw their bodies back to the princess's mansion, and hang their heads on Xiao Xiangxue's curtains tonight."

Before Guard Wang could speak, Madam Xie could not help but exclaimed, "How dare you! They are the imperial guards, under the protection of the emperor..."

Before she could finish, Xiao Qi nodded in agreement, and in the blink of an eye, he killed Guard Wang.

Bright red blood splattered all over the courtyard, and Guard Wang's severed head rolled all the way to Madam Xie's feet.

This bloody scene made Mrs. Xie Si stunned. She screamed, then turned to the side and vomited violently.

Shen Nanzhi didn't even look at her, she just held Lu Pianpian and turned to Shen Yanxin and said, "Mother, Pianpian is not in good condition, let's go home first."

Shen Yanxin nodded and quickly caught up with Shen Nanzhi.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Mrs. Xie finally recovered her strength. She hurried to catch up with them, but her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

"Shen Yanxin! Yanxin! You promised me to release Wanting! You can't break your promise!"

Hearing this, Shen Yanxin turned around, with a hint of sarcasm in her usually gentle eyes, and smiled faintly: "You are really stupid, when did I say I captured your daughter? Haven't you learned the principle of deception in war?"

She was just cheating Mrs. Xie.

Although these twelve palace masters are far inferior to the Shen family's secret guards, they are still vigilant. With them around, it would be difficult for the Shen family's secret guards to sneak into the inner house without being discovered, so how could they abduct a living person like Xie Wanting quietly?

Only Mrs. Xie believed this.

She was usually a smart person, but when it came to her own daughter, she lost her composure and didn't even have time to ask the servants to verify. In addition, she had been frightened by Shen Yanxin in her early years and had a psychological trauma. When she saw Shen Yanxin again, she subconsciously didn't think that Shen Yanxin was lying to her.

Seeing that Fourth Madam Xie's face was pale and blue, and her emotions were on the verge of going berserk, Shen Yanxin said lightly: "You should be thankful that I haven't planned to do anything to your daughter, but I can't guarantee it in the future."

As she said this, she followed Shen Nanzhi and was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment, she stopped and turned to look at Fourth Madam Xie and said coldly, "How should we tell others about what happened tonight? I don't need to teach you, do I?"

"Also, I don't want this to happen again. Since I can give you everything now, I can also take it back. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Mrs. Xie, who was about to curse, suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

Shen Yanxin no longer looked at her, and followed Shen Nanzhi who was waiting for her, holding up her skirt.

The night wind was getting colder, and a strong smell of blood wafted through the originally cold and dry air.

But the mother and daughter walked out of Xie's house one after another, neither of them looking back.
