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

However, Shen Nanzhi had to change his previous thinking.

At the beginning, she still held a glimmer of hope for Emperor Shunqing.

If you want to bring down Xiao Qian'an, you should first alienate the relationship between him and his father and make him fall out of favor. But now it seems that this idea is probably not feasible.

Emperor Shunqing had already chosen Xiao Qian as his successor.

The reason why the Dog Emperor seemed to be wavering between several princes and had not yet formally established him as the crown prince was that he wanted to use this to weaken the power of various factions in the court, strengthen central power, and pave the way for Xiao Qi'an's future position as crown prince.

For example, during this spring hunting tour, although the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin was left as regent, and it seemed that the emperor had high hopes for the eldest prince, Xiao Qian'an's grandfather, General Zhang, was also left to assist in the administration. The hearts and minds of the people in the court and their movements could not escape the eyes of this old fox.

The eldest prince was just used as a target by them.

The sky had already completely darkened, but the moon was in the courtyard, and its silver light spread all over the earth. After leaving the dense forest, Shen Nanzhi stood at the intersection of Yunyan Town and had no intention of going back.

All traces and corpses of the fighting at this intersection during the day have been cleaned up.

The moon is full of frost and the world is quiet. It is a good time to drink and chat under the moon, but also a good time to kill and burn.

Shen Nanzhi entered the town under the moonlight.

Although Yunyan Town is just a town, it is not much worse than Linshui County because it is backed by Yunjiang Wharf.

Countless ships traveled back and forth for rest and supplies, which also led to the prosperity of the economy in the Yunyan Town area.

The road from Yunjiang Wharf to the east side of the town is almost entirely lined with inns and taverns.

After nightfall, the town becomes even more bustling than during the day.

Shen Nanzhi had seen the topographic map of Yunyan Town before coming here.

Following the drawings she memorized in her mind, she went straight to the back alley of East Street and headed straight for the largest inn in Yunyan Town, Hongyun Inn.

Shen Nanzhi had just come over and saw that even though it was already late, the other inns were still very noisy.

In the lobby downstairs, there were merchants drinking, scholars on their way, and rough men competing in drinking. All kinds of people and all kinds of sounds filled Shen Nanzhi's eardrums.

But the largest Hongyun Inn in Yunyan Town is an exception.

The huge dining room was deserted, with only a row of sword-wielding servants standing there with their arms folded.

From the first floor lobby all the way to the second floor corridor, and even outside the rooms, there were people guarding.

Shen Nanzhi was lying on the back wall. Seeing that these people could be recognized at a glance even though they were wearing ordinary servants' clothes, he knew he had come to the right place.

She had already inquired before she set out today, and found out that the fifth prince Xiao Ziyi, who had been beaten, was also sent back to the capital today.

The prince's return to the capital was subject to more red tape and various requirements, and Xiao Ziyi was beaten with thirty boards, but he could not withstand the bumps of the carriage, so he set out later and walked slower than Shen Nanzhi and his party.

However, even under normal circumstances, even if Xiao Ziyi had not reached the capital city at this moment, it was impossible for him to still be in Yunyan Town.

But Shen Nanzhi guessed that he was following the Shen family and would definitely not go back like that after learning about the accident at the Shen family.

With his deep hatred for Shen Nanzhi, he wished they were all dead. If he had the chance, he would definitely add insult to injury.

Especially after knowing that the Shen brothers and sisters were assassinated and disappeared in Yunyan Town, and Xiao Ziyi happened to pass by here, even if he didn't stab them in the name of search and rescue, he would definitely not miss this excitement.

With Xiao Ziyi's status and pride, if he stayed in Yunyan Town, he would definitely choose the best inn and stay in the most comfortable room.

Now it seems that Shen Nanzhi guessed right.

With the help of the back wall, Shen Nanzhi climbed over into the yard. After avoiding two patrolling guards, she successfully jumped onto the second floor and grabbed the wooden frame of the eaves to steady herself. After almost sticking her body to the wall, Shen Nanzhi moved slowly towards the window that was most heavily guarded.

Before I got close, I heard someone gasping for air from inside.

"Hiss...be gentler!"

Xiao Ziyi's cold snort made Shen Nanzhi outside the window even more alert.

Not only was Xiao Ziyi in the room, but also Liu Jingyi, who had also been sent back to Beijing and had hooked up with him on the way.

Judging from the noise, Liu Jingyi is applying medicine to Xiao Ziyi.

Xiao Ziyi cried out in pain.

"Your Highness, you are seriously injured."

Liu Jingyi said with a tone full of grievance: "It is all because of me that I have implicated Your Highness. If it were not for protecting me, Your Highness would not have been schemed by Shen Nanzhi to this extent... I'm sorry, Your Highness..."

She was still half a step away. Although Shen Nanzhi outside the window couldn't see what was happening inside the house, she could already imagine Liu Jingyi's pitiful look with tears in her eyes.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ziyi, who had been fierce just now, suddenly softened his tone.

"I don't blame you. If I have to blame anyone, I should only blame that bitch Shen Nanzhi! Not only did she ruin our good deeds time and time again, but she also framed you and me to this point! She deserves to end up like this."

Liu Jingyi seemed a little puzzled: "Your Highness means... Shen Nanzhi is dead?"

Xiao Ziyi snorted coldly, "Even Shen Changan is dead, how can Shen Nanzhi be any better? The people who went to Linshui County just came back and said that her whereabouts are still unknown. I will always be worried unless I see her body. However, I have arranged for people to look for her in the name of search and rescue. I believe there will be good news tomorrow. Even if we can't find her, we will wait for her at the gate of the capital. Don't worry, she will definitely die this time!"

I don’t know where he touched Liu Jingyi, but it made Liu Jingyi let out a coquettish cry.

"Your Highness, I have no doubt that you are doing things for me. However, if I were to say I am worried, I still feel a little bit."

At this point, Liu Jingyi paused, then said with a heavy heart: "Your Highness also knows that my elder sister was going to marry Shen Changan, and she is also good friends with Shen Nanzhi. This time Shen Nanzhi is targeting us, and there must be my elder sister's instigation. Once Shen Changan dies... I am afraid that she will retaliate against me... Moreover, if she changes her mind because she can't marry Shen Changan and insists on marrying Your Highness, and her family only loves her, what should I do then?"

Before she could finish, Xiao Ziyi snorted coldly and said with disdain: "Who is Liu Jingya? I have had to be tolerant and flattering to her on the surface all these years. Now that I am tied to the Liu family and have laid my cards on the table, I don't have to worry about her life or death."

Liu Jingyi whispered: "Your Highness means..."

Shen Nanzhi had already moved to the window, and through the gap in the windowsill, he saw Xiao Ziyi, who was lying on the couch, wiping his neck.

Seeing this scene, Shen Nanzhi was glad that he had come to the right place.

This pair of bastards actually wanted to harm Sister Jingya!

When the news of Shen Changan's accident reached back to Kyoto, Liu Jingya had no idea how sad and upset she was. Where did he get the confidence and face to think that Liu Jingya would turn around and rush to marry him!

Shen Nanzhi wished he could beat this pair of bastards to pieces.

But reason told her not to act rashly.

The soundproofing of this inn is not good.

There are guards everywhere outside Xiao Ziyi's house.

If you act rashly, you will only alert the enemy and miss the opportunity.

Shen Nanzhi concentrated and calmed himself, and waited as close to the window as possible.

The two people in the room were already entangled with each other.

Xiao Ziyi had injuries all over his body from the lower back down, but that didn't stop him from flirting with Liu Jingyi.

He half-lay on the cushion, pulled Liu Jingyi under him, skillfully lifted up Liu Jingyi's skirt, and put one hand inside, which soon made Liu Jingyi gasp.

"Your Highness...you are so evil..."

Xiao Ziyi's breathing became heavier, and his voice was a little hoarse as he said, "I have something worse, do you want to see it..."

Liu Jingyi moaned, as if she had no bones, and nestled softly in Xiao Ziyi's arms, saying in a delicate voice: "But, Your Highness is injured, it's not convenient...ah"

Xiao Ziyi bit Liu Jingyi's earlobe and breathed harder: "That's why I need you to help me, come..."

The temperature in the room was rising rapidly.

Shen Nanzhi, hiding behind the window, felt like she was about to get stye.

But it should be said that this is indeed the time when they are most likely to let down their guard.

Just then, a gust of evening breeze blew outside.

The medicinal powder that Shen Nanzhi had prepared in advance and placed on the windowsill was brought into the house by the evening breeze.

The candlelight flickered, and the two people were entangled with each other, not noticing anything wrong.

When the lights in the room were blown out by the evening breeze, the two people on the couch finally stopped moving.

Shen Nanzhi then gently pushed open the half window and swiftly entered the house.

This medicinal powder is an improved version of the muscle softening powder made by Lu Pianpian.

Ordinary people will completely lose their resistance if they inhale just a little bit. Although the drug is powerful, its effect is very short-lived and can only last for a quarter of an hour at most.

But for Shen Nanzhi, it was enough.

The two people on the couch had not completely lost consciousness, but they were completely unable to move and could only watch Shen Nanzhi come in.

At this time, Shen Nanzhi was still dressed as the maid she followed Ye Qingwan during the day, with a white veil on her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

The candles in the room went out, and the mercury-like moonlight poured in from the windowsill, falling right on Shen Nanzhi.

Xiao Ziyi and Liu Jingyi both looked at Shen Nanzhi with horror.

Before he could recognize her, he was scared to death the moment he saw the short arrow in her hand.

The two wanted to struggle, but even if they used all their strength, they couldn't even move a finger.

He wanted to open his mouth and call for help, but even after he opened his throat, all he could make was a mosquito-like whimper.

Combined with their previous actions, this sound became another beautiful scene in the ears of the guards standing outside the door.

No matter how tactless a person is, he would not disturb his master's "interest" at this time.

Therefore, instead of attracting the guards, their voices made those people move away tactfully.

Xiao Ziyi and Liu Jingyi felt desperate.

Shen Nanzhi didn't hesitate at all and hit the two men directly in the chest.

She had specifically asked Shen Changan for this short arrow, which was left by the assassins during the day.

It is coated with Bungarus venom, which is fatal if it comes into contact with blood.

There's no need to wait for the weak tendons in their bodies to recover, the venom of the Bungarus serpent alone is enough to take their lives.

What's more, in order to prevent future troubles, Shen Nanzhi stabbed them directly in the vitals.

"you you……"

A mouthful of blood gushed out of the corner of Xiao Ziyi's mouth. He stared at Shen Nanzhi but couldn't utter a word.

Liu Jingyi is even worse off.

She was already unable to move, and was pressed tightly by Xiao Ziyi's large and thick body, making it even more difficult to breathe.

Shen Nanzhi pushed Xiao Ziyi aside and shot an arrow into Liu Jingyi's heart, then he did not forget to pull Xiao Ziyi back.

The moment Xiao Ziyi's body fell heavily, Liu Jingyi was almost crushed to death.

The piercing pain and physical weakness made her fall into extreme fear, and she just stared at Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi was too lazy to even look at her.

Moreover, Liu Jingyi's current naked appearance really hurt Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

Fortunately, Xiao Ziyi was only naked from the waist up and didn't have time to take off his pants, otherwise Shen Nanzhi would have felt so nauseous that she would have vomited.

Thinking of how this couple had plotted to make Liu Jingya almost lose her innocence, and also plotted to make herself almost defiled by Xiao Qian'an, Shen Nanzhi angrily grabbed Xiao Ziyi's hand, passed it through Liu Jingyi's armpit, and clamped it tightly around her neck.

After they die, their bodies will become extremely stiff, and this posture will make it difficult for people to separate them, allowing more people to see their filthiness and ugliness.

This can be considered as a way to vent Liu Jingya's anger.

Moreover, if they didn't want to stay here and kill Shen Nanzhi, Shen Nanzhi wouldn't be doing so well now.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi bent down, lowered his eyes to look at the two men with hideous faces and dying struggles, and said silently with his lips: "Have a good journey."

Of course, through the veil, the two men could not see her spoken words, and because of the light, they couldn't even see her outline and eyes clearly.

Until their death, they didn't know at whose hands they died.

Of course, Shen Nanzhi didn't have the interest or time to explain to them.

She didn't delay any longer. After doing all this, she turned over and walked out of the house, then carefully moved back along the way she came. Taking advantage of the moment when the guards below were changing shifts, she tiptoed, turned over, jumped over the courtyard wall, and landed steadily in the back alley. Then she deliberately threw the bloody arrow feather at the foot of the wall.

Since the arrow was aimed at the vital points of these two people, there was no need to use the poisonous arrow to kill them.

Shen Nanzhi did this deliberately to confuse the public.

While others took advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters and steal things, she took the opportunity to kill people.

Once this matter gets out, even Emperor Shunqing, the mastermind behind the assassins, will probably be confused.

Why would his people kill Xiao Ziyi?

No one would suspect the Shen brothers and sisters. After all, they didn't even have time to escape.

Moreover, the group of people led by Ge Qing from Qingshui County arranged by Emperor Shunqing could provide proof of their alibi.

There is also a crucial point. Apart from the short arrows coated with Bungarus venom, the only trace left by Shen Nanzhi was the powder of the tendon softening powder.

One of the medicinal ingredients added to the powder is a secret medicine from southern Xinjiang.

Even if someone follows this line of investigation, they can only trace it back to Southern Xinjiang.

And this is exactly what Shen Nanzhi hoped for.

According to the memory of the previous life, Southern Xinjiang had already set up a killing array on the border, while Da Qi knew nothing about it. Later, Southern Xinjiang gained the upper hand and was conquered all the way. So when Shen Changan was ordered to rush to the border of Southern Xinjiang, in addition to the fact that the Dog Emperor and Xiao Qian'an deliberately did not send reinforcements in order to destroy the Shen family army, there was also a reason for the expansion of Southern Xinjiang.

There are many ways to kill these two people without leaving any flaws. Shen Nanzhi deliberately chose the Softening Muscle Powder to remind Da Qi.

When the birds and beasts are all gone, the good bows are put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooked.

The border is too stable, so Emperor Shunqing wants to eliminate the Shen family and take away the military power. If the conflicts in southern Xinjiang are exposed in advance, and then find ways to exert pressure in other places, Emperor Shunqing will also have to weigh the consequences of touching the Shen family.

Moreover, Southern Xinjiang was ready to make a move, so my uncle could legitimately go to the border to take over the Shen family army in the name of intimidating Southern Xinjiang and protecting the country.

In this way, killing them can achieve three goals at one stroke.

What Shen Nanzhi needs to do now is to rush back to Linshui County.

However, before that, logically, she should go to the area near where Shen Changan fell into the water to look for someone.
