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

If Lin Hongrui really must have Liu'er, Emperor Shunqing seems to be able to control Lin Hongrui by controlling Liu'er and her son, but there are too many variables involved.

You have to bet that Lin Hongrui will always be consistent with Liu'er and her son, that Liu'er and her son will be controlled by Emperor Shunqing, that the Lin family won't have any complications, and that Lin Hongrui will not be soft-hearted towards his mistress Lin Lanyin and her daughter.

Emperor Shunqing is such a cunning and suspicious person, isn't he afraid that something might go wrong along the way?

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but ask curiously, "This is a serious matter. It would be too risky to bet on these two people. With the emperor's temper, doesn't he have any other backup plans?"

She always felt that this wouldn't be that simple.

The room was so quiet that Shen Nanzhi could even hear the slightest sound of clothes rubbing against each other behind him.

Shen Nanzhi also heard the sound of a small porcelain bottle being opened.

I guess Xiao Chuyun is applying medicine.

Thinking of the excruciating pain of the powder sprinkled on the wound, even Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but shiver.

But Xiao Chuyun's voice was still calm and steady, as if he was not affected at all.

"For Lin Hongrui, it's enough. After all, the Lin family has long lost its former glory. The current Lin family is just a paper tiger, with only superficial glory. Otherwise, the eldest son of the Lin family would not give up his bright future to marry a prostitute."

Shen Nanzhi had never thought of this before. Indeed, the status of a son-in-law might be an honor for ordinary people or ordinary aristocratic families, but for the eldest son of the Lin family, one of the four major families, it was just a shackle and bondage.

This factor was also involved in the fact that their marriage became a beautiful story and was even adapted into a storybook.

However, Shen Nanzhi has not had time to delve into the interests that may be involved.

In terms of understanding of the court situation, Shen Nanzhi is still far inferior to Xiao Chuyun.

Xiao Chuyun was also very patient. He analyzed the twists and turns of the matter with her without her asking any more questions.

Compared to the other three of the four major families, the Lin family is the weakest, and each generation of the Lin family is weaker than the previous one. However, although the family is declining externally, the internal strife of the Lin family is getting more and more intense.

Although the eldest son of the first wife, the Lin family's eldest son, was extremely talented, he died of a serious illness just after he came of age. Lin Hongrui was the only child left in the first wife's lineage.

It is not difficult to understand why the eldest lady of the Lin family was so opposed to his plan to marry a maid.

On the surface, he became the consort of the emperor and lost his status as the eldest son of the Lin family. He was able to stay away from the center of power struggles in the court and avoid the intrigues of the Lin family to protect himself. Even other members of the Lin family had to get close to him in order to win over the power of the emperor's lineage.

Secretly, he used his status as a royal consort as a cover to investigate the Shen's army for Emperor Shunqing and find out the power distribution of the *** government and the Zhou family. Once he succeeds in the future, he will be in charge of the Shen's army and shock the southwest, which will definitely be a higher level than what he could achieve if he entered the officialdom safely or even took over the Lin family.

Therefore, although it seemed that he was threatened by Emperor Shunqing with Liu'er and her son, it was a helpless act, but it was also a choice he made for his own glorious path.

Moreover, by that time, he would be honored and make Liu'er his legal wife, and no one in the Lin family would dare to stop him.

After listening to Xiao Chuyun's analysis, Shen Nanzhi realized that his previous understanding was slightly biased.

However, thinking of Lin Hongrui being tricked by Xiao Chuyun and falling into the hands of the Zhou family, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but wonder, "After all, he is the emperor's son-in-law. If the Zhou family kills him directly, aren't they afraid of creating a rift between them and the emperor?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "The Zhou family does have this concern, so I added fuel to the fire. Not only did I spread the news that the emperor ordered me to secretly go to Yuzhou to investigate through Lin Hongrui's people, but I also leaked Lin Hongrui's previous secret investigation of the Zhou family's military deployment map, and the map was indeed in Lin Hongrui's possession."

Xiao Chuyun had already applied the medicine. As he put on his coat, he explained, "If the Zhou family was really as upright and honest as the Shen family, we wouldn't be afraid. But the Zhou family has had second thoughts. They privately opened an iron mine in Yujin Mountain in the southwest of Yuzhou, forged weapons, and raised a force several times greater than the vassal king's regulations. This is enough to explain the problem."

Hearing this, even Shen Nanzhi took a breath.

Emperor Shunqing ignored the Zhou family, which had evil ambitions, and chose to target the Shen family first.

Are the Shen family the soft persimmons that are bullied?

However, this undoubtedly brought panic to the Zhou family. First, the empress dowager was imprisoned, and then there was Xiao Chuyun's investigation. In addition, Lin Hongrui tried to obtain the Zhou family's defense map. No matter how you look at it, Emperor Shunqing was going to take action against the Zhou family.

Although Zhou Zhengyong is a low-key person, he is definitely not a soft-hearted person who can be easily manipulated.

He was about to be killed by Emperor Shunqing at his doorstep, so he would naturally not sit and wait for death.

Therefore, whether for the purpose of silencing him or making an example of him, Lin Hongrui could not leave Yuzhou alive.

Xiao Chuyun's tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife is really clever.

The death of Lin Hongrui not only temporarily resolved the crisis for the Shen family, but also made Emperor Shunqing more vigilant against the Zhou family regardless of whether there was evidence that the Zhou family intended to rebel.

After weighing the pros and cons of several parties, the family he is most likely to deal with first should be the Zhou family.

To take a step back, even if he is stubborn and still wants to deal with the Shen family, the person hastily pushed forward to replace Lin Hongrui may not be able to fully accept Lin Hongrui's business over the years. Not to mention the greater risk, he also has to be on guard against the Zhou family taking advantage of the situation while dealing with the Shen family, and the Southern Xinjiang family is eyeing them covetously. By then, the imperial court will be attacked from both sides.

Emperor Shunqing would not be that stupid.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is still very thoughtful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle behind him.

The next moment, Shen Nanzhi fell into a hot embrace.

Thinking that Xiao Chuyun still had a wound on his chest and had just been treated with medicine, Shen Nanzhi didn't dare to move easily.

The moment she froze in that position, Xiao Chuyun had already wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

Shen Nanzhi's height is considered tall among the girls, but it can only reach Xiao Chuyun's shoulders and neck.

Xiao Chuyun easily held her in his arms, lowered his head, and rested his chin on the crook of Shen Nanzhi's neck, breathing sweetly and saying, "Actually, I lied to Miss Shen."

His hot breath sprayed on Shen Nanzhi's neck, bringing about waves of indescribable numbness.

The scorching heat rose from behind the ears all the way to the cheeks.

His words also startled Shen Nanzhi. She asked in confusion, "What?"

She was just wondering what Xiao Chuyun could have lied to her about, but she heard Xiao Chuyun chuckle, "The injury is real, and the fatigue is real, but I don't actually have the energy to leave."

After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi, whose cheeks were burning and his mind was a little confused, finally regained a bit of rationality.

Yes, that’s who Xiao Chuyun is.

How could he become so weak just by hurrying on the journey?

She was too nervous and worried and didn't have time to think about it carefully.

Shen Nanzhi opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she heard Xiao Chuyun whisper in her ear, "I deliberately took advantage of Miss Shen's sympathy to cling to Miss Shen. I wanted to stay by Miss Shen's side, closer to you, closer to you. I wish I could stay with you all the time."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

Shen Nanzhi, who had just regained his clarity of mind, suddenly heard this explanation and his heartbeat accelerated.

Even though the feeling of being tricked before she realized it was not an illusion, she did not feel the slightest bit of annoyance towards Xiao Chuyun.

On the contrary, his sweet words, which seemed to be wrapped in honey, stirred up the whole place.

Shen Nanzhi didn't want to be defeated like this, so he deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be angry.

But before she could say anything "harsh", she heard Xiao Chuyun speak with a somewhat ashamed tone: "I know that my thoughts are too dirty and too shameful. I shouldn't be so rude to Miss Shen. It's reasonable for you to be angry with me. I'm sorry..."

His cheek was pressed against Shen Nanzhi's profile, and his gentle voice fell into Shen Nanzhi's ears, making Shen Nanzhi's heart soften a little, so she no longer cared about arguing with him.

Shen Nanzhi sighed softly and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this."

Why didn't she think Xiao Chuyun was so good at saying sweet words before?

If it's like mixing oil with honey, it's like it's free.

Shen Nanzhi was completely helpless.

But he said it so calmly, as if it was a matter of course.

It is completely different from those slick scoundrels out there who only know how to talk big and speak slickly.

Xiao Chuyun would do whatever he promised her.

Because of her subconscious unconditional trust in him, Shen Nanzhi took his sweet words to heart.

Shen Nanzhi originally said this because he didn't know how to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, just as the words fell, Xiao Chuyun said sadly: "Miss Shen is really angry with me?"

Hearing that he had misunderstood, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously shook her head and said, "That's not true. I'm not angry."

However, she forgot that she was still in Xiao Chuyun's words, and his cheek was close to her ear.

Shen Nanzhi suddenly shook his head, and Xiao Chuyun happened to tilt his head to look over at this moment, and Shen Nanzhi's lips just brushed against his cheek.

Her lip balm instantly left a faint red mark on his cheek.

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

It was clearly him who was kissed, but Shen Nanzhi's face instantly seemed to be on fire.

But Xiao Chuyun looked down at her and smiled, "It turns out that Miss Shen would also take the initiative to kiss me."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

This was originally just an accident, but after Xiao Chuyun said this, it seemed as if Shen Nanzhi turned around and kissed him on her own initiative.

This is hard to explain!

Shen Nanzhi opened her mouth to explain, but when she met Xiao Chuyun's eyes that were as bright as stars, and saw that he was filled with joy and excitement because of her initiative, Shen Nanzhi really didn't want to spoil his fun and disappoint him.

So, when the words came to his lips, Shen Nanzhi had to swallow them and responded vaguely: "Yeah."

However, just as he finished speaking, Xiao Chuyun put the other half of his face close to Shen Nanzhi and said seriously: "You kissed me too quickly just now, I didn't even feel it. Miss Shen, can you take the initiative to kiss me here as well?"

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

She felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.

For a moment, Shen Nanzhi even thought that Xiao Chuyun did it on purpose.

But Xiao Chuyun's eyes were so innocent. Meeting the expectation in his eyes, Shen Nanzhi's heart softened. She was about to kiss him, but suddenly she heard a whistle outside the yard.

Two long and one short, this was the secret signal given by Mo Yun.

The thin-skinned Shen Nanzhi came to her senses instantly. She quickly broke free from Xiao Chuyun's arms and quickly put half a step away from him.

As soon as she stood firm, Shen Nanzhi heard Mo Yun's voice: "Master, something happened to the Lin family."

The blush on Shen Nanzhi's cheeks had not yet faded. At the moment, she was too embarrassed to look at Xiao Chuyun's expression. Naturally, she did not see the coldness in Xiao Chuyun's eyes when he looked at Mo Yun who was waiting outside the window.

Before Mo Yun could speak, Chun Tao's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Miss, Miss..."

All the maids in Shen Nanzhi's yard were sent out. She was afraid that Chuntao would rush into the yard and see Xiao Chuyun and Mo Yun. Shen Nanzhi hurriedly said to Xiao Chuyun, "I'll be back soon."

After saying that, she quickly walked out of the house and walked towards Chuntao who was rushing over from the yard.

On this side, Mo Yun had also slipped into Shen Nanzhi's room and hid behind the window.

After seeing Shen Nanzhi and Chuntao leave the yard, Mo Yun turned to face Xiao Chuyun, only to find that his prince's face had become terribly dark.

Moreover, there was a pile of blood-stained gauze on the armchair behind him.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yun took a breath of cold air and blurted out: "My Lord! Who can hurt you! The sun is rising from the west..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Chuyun's eyes darkened.

The cold breath made Mo Yun shiver instantly, and his strong desire to survive made him subconsciously close his mouth.

After handing over the secret letter in his hand, Mo Yun subconsciously held his breath.

At this time, Xiao Chuyun didn't show any of the gentleness he had shown towards Shen Nanzhi.

His eyes were cold, and the aura around him was even colder.

After he quickly read the secret letter, he crushed it into powder, then looked up at Mo Yun and said, "Go get thirty military sticks, get out."

Mo Yun, who hadn't realized where he was wrong, felt as if the sky was falling after hearing this.

He didn't understand. His master was always happiest whenever he saw Miss Shen. Why did he run into such bad luck as soon as he arrived?

Before Mo Yun could think about it, he heard Xiao Chuyun say, "If you dare to step into this room again, you will lose your legs and eyes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yun took a breath of cold air.

The voice was full of oppression. Having been with Xiao Chuyun for so many years, Mo Yun could tell the seriousness of the words.

Only then did he realize that he had just jumped into Shen Nanzhi's boudoir to avoid Chuntao who suddenly broke in from outside!

Even though he just hid by the window for a moment, Xiao Chuyun almost cost him his life.

Mo Yun didn't dare to stay there any longer. He jumped out of the window like a cat whose tail was stepped on. After bowing and accepting the order, he carefully left the yard.

Of course Shen Nanzhi was not aware of this.

At this moment, she had followed Chuntao to the main hall.

Before she crossed the threshold, she saw a figure flash before her, and a blush suddenly pounced on her.

"Shen Nanzhi!"
