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

After Wang Miaoyu made such a fuss, the four senior palace maids around her walked towards Shen Nanzhi together, as if they were going to hold Shen Nanzhi accountable.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi's eyes darkened, and she was about to explode, but she heard a clear and beautiful voice not far away: "You bastard, stop it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the palace maids lost their arrogance instantly and quickly knelt to the side.

Only then did everyone see Concubine Liu Shu, dressed in simple and elegant palace clothing, walking slowly from the end of the path.

She has been in charge of the six palaces for many years, so naturally she has a great intimidation over these beauties and palace maids.

Wang Miaoyu returned to the capital with the emperor last night and had not yet had the chance to meet the concubine who stayed in the palace to take charge during the spring hunting season.

While Wang Miaoyu was still in a daze, everyone else had already knelt down.

"Greetings to the Concubine Shu."

After being reminded of this, Wang Miaoyu finally reacted. Although she was somewhat reluctant, she was not so stupid as to dare to offend Concubine Liu's dignity in front of everyone.

"Miaoyu pays her respects to Sister Shufei."

Concubine Liu Shu only glanced at her coldly and said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy: "So, this is the emperor's new noble lady."

Hearing this, Wang Miaoyu quickly stood up and replied, "Yes, I'm new here, and I'll rely on you for support in the future."

Before Concubine Liu could speak, Qingluan beside her shouted coldly, "How dare you, Concubine Wang! Did Concubine Shu ask you to get up? Now that you have entered the palace, you should abide by the palace rules and stop being so vulgar and unpresentable."

Qingluan had a cold face and was full of dominance, which frightened Wang Miaoyu so much that she shivered and knelt down again.

Seeing this, Concubine Liu Shu said calmly: "Qingluan, it is normal for Concubine Wang to not know the rules since she has just arrived. But you, your temper is getting worse and worse. You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me."

Qingluan quickly bowed and admitted her fault: "It is my fault. I will never do it again."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Concubine Liu was not scolding Qingluan, but was merely using Qingluan's mouth to give Wang Miaoyu a reminder.

Wang Miaoyu was not stupid either. She also lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "It's Miaoyu's fault. Please forgive me this time, Madam Shufei."

Concubine Liu Shu then looked at Wang Miaoyu and smiled slightly: "I see that Sister Miaoyu has just arrived and has a very good relationship with these sisters. Instead of engaging in a verbal dispute that will only bring shame upon yourself, it would be better to ask them to tell you the rules of this palace."

In response to Wang Miaoyu's suppression of Shen Nanzhi just now, Concubine Liu used the phrase "bringing shame upon herself". All the beauties present were shrewd people, and of course they could hear Concubine Liu's defense of Shen Nanzhi.

Yesterday, the news that Concubine Liu Shufei's favorite niece Liu Jingya left the Liu family and joined the Shen family had already spread. Coupled with the recent rumors about the Shen family's loss of power, everyone thought that Concubine Liu Shufei must have some resentment towards the Shen family, and even towards Shen Nanzhi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to pull down Shen Nanzhi just to curry favor with Wang Miaoyu.

Now it seems that they were completely wrong.

Concubine Liu Shufei is clearly standing up for Shen Nanzhi!

Just as everyone came to their senses, they heard Concubine Liu Shu sneer, "She is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family and the future Princess of Zhenbei. Even if I meet her, I have to treat her with courtesy. I never thought that you would be so arrogant."

When these words were spoken, the beauties who had just stood up were startled, and they quickly knelt down again, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Concubine Liu Shu simply said, "Go down, and learn the rules with Concubine Wang. Before that, don't come out and embarrass yourself again."

This is like a house arrest order for this group of people.

Since Concubine Liu Shufei had the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and had such a good reason, these beauties dared not say anything and bowed their heads to accept the punishment.

Wang Miaoyu was already extremely angry, but she did not dare to confront Concubine Liu head-on. Although she was reluctant, she finally agreed.

However, when leaving, Wang Miaoyu glared at Shen Nanzhi viciously.

The look in his eyes seemed as if he wanted to eat Shen Nanzhi alive.

Shen Nanzhi was too lazy to argue with her.

In fact, like them, Shen Nanzhi was also somewhat surprised by Concubine Liu's attitude towards her.

She originally thought that Concubine Liu would be angry with her because the Shen family took Liu Jingya away.

But now it seems that I was wrong.

"Concubine Shu."

After those people left, Shen Nanzhi also stepped forward to greet them, "Thank you, Madam Shufei, for rescuing me just now."

Concubine Liu Shu smiled and said, "Even if I hadn't come, you wouldn't have suffered any loss with your personality. In the end, it would still be Concubine Wang who suffered."

Shen Nanzhi was indeed about to fight back, but unexpectedly he was locked out by Concubine Liu Shufei. This made Shen Nanzhi feel a little embarrassed.

She lowered her eyes and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank the Concubine Shu. But this Concubine Wang is a vindictive person. She is now in favor with the Emperor. I usually don't get along with her outside the palace, and I'm afraid she will bear a grudge against the Concubine."

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Shu stepped forward and naturally took Shen Nanzhi's hand: "To be honest, I have been in charge of rewards and punishments in this palace for many years. There are few people in this palace who don't hold a grudge against me, not to mention her. Moreover, she has just entered the palace and is so arrogant and domineering. She should be taught a lesson. With this reason today, I am afraid that the emperor will have to scold her again."

At this point, Concubine Liu sighed and said, "Shen family girl, I have heard about what happened between Changan and Jingya."

Speaking of this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but lower his eyes.

She could see that Concubine Liu Shu was sincere to Liu Jingya.

Moreover, Shen Nanzhi felt that Concubine Liu was different from those members of the Liu family who only sought profit and avoided harm.

"Madam Shufei..."

Shen Nanzhi was about to speak, but Concubine Shu shook her head: "I know, I don't blame you, my niece is just like that, just like my fourth sister, she won't turn back even if she hits a wall. But, I am very curious about what kind of charm your Shen family has that makes the girls of the Liu family jump in without hesitation."

Shen Nanzhi couldn't respond to this.

Before they knew it, the palace maids and eunuchs around Concubine Liu all retreated tactfully, leaving Qingluan following them not too far away. Jinxiu and the other two eunuchs who had escorted Shen Nanzhi out also tactfully stepped back a few steps, leaving the two of them to talk in peace.

Concubine Liu Shu held Shen Nanzhi's hand and walked along the cobblestone path to the Imperial Garden, continuing, "You young people don't know, but Fourth Sister was the same back then. No matter how much Second Uncle objected, she was determined to marry the Third Brother of the Shen Family. Later, when the Shen Family got into trouble, Second Uncle also thought about taking her back to her parents' home. After all, she was still young and they had just been married for a short time. Plus, with the Liu Family's family background, she would not have to worry about not having a good marriage partner even if she married for the second time, but she refused."

"Over the years, because of the fight for the crown prince, she was afraid of getting too close to the Liu family and dragging the Shen family into it, so she gradually distanced herself from me and the Liu family. She was like this, and now Jingya is like this too."

Concubine Liu Shu sighed helplessly: "Girls cannot be kept when they grow up, that's probably the case. I don't blame them, I even envy their courage to risk their lives."

"If I had..."

At this point, Concubine Liu Shu quickly stopped talking and turned to Shen Nanzhi with a kind smile: "I have said so much just to tell you that no matter where Jingya is, she is my niece. Even if the Liu family doesn't recognize her, I will. Now that she is not convenient to enter the palace, please convey my feelings to her. If she encounters any trouble, just ask someone to come to me."

As she spoke, Qingluan, who was following behind Concubine Liu Shu, hurriedly brought two three-foot square brocade boxes to Shen Nanzhi.

Concubine Liu Shu continued, "One of these two boxes is for Jingya. When she left the Liu family, she must have taken nothing with her. How could she survive without money? The other one is for you. I heard that you and the prince have set a date for your wedding, so this is my gift to you as a dowry."

I didn't expect that she would be as considerate of Liu Jingya as her mother.

As for the share given to Shen Nanzhi, it was probably because he loved Liu Jingya so much and felt sorry for her, and also wanted Shen Nanzhi to help Liu Jingya more.

Concubine Liu Shu's attitude was very sincere. Shen Nanzhi naturally couldn't refuse her good intentions, so she bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please rest assured that the Shen family will definitely treat Sister Jingya well. You also know my aunt's character. She will treat Sister Jingya as her own daughter. Your Majesty does not need to worry about Sister Jingya."

Concubine Liu Shu nodded: "Of course, if it were someone else, I would not agree."

She should have noticed that Shen Nanzhi didn't look well, so she didn't keep Shen Nanzhi any longer: "Go back and have a good rest."

Shen Nanzhi lowered his eyes and agreed, then turned around and left with Jinxiu and others.

The Shen family's carriage was already waiting outside Zhengyang Gate. Jinxiu helped Shen Nanzhi onto the carriage, then bowed and left.

The two young eunuchs also handed the two brocade boxes and the imperial edict to A Si and Qiu Yu who came up to respond.

As soon as Shen Nanzhi sat down, Qiuyu stuffed a hot water bottle into his arms.

It's just that Shen Nanzhi stayed in the palace for too long. Even though Qiuyu had been carefully protecting the hot water bottle, only a little bit of warmth was left. But it was better than nothing.

The pain in my lower abdomen, which had been feeling like it was being cut by a knife, finally eased a little.

Qiu Yu accidentally touched Shen Nanzhi's hand and couldn't help but frown: "Why are your hands so cold?"

As she said this, she quickly picked up Shen Nanzhi's hands and held them in her arms, "Pian Pian said that the girl can't get cold anymore, otherwise she will suffer."

If she could refuse, Shen Nanzhi wouldn't want to make this trip. Now she just wanted to go back to her bed and lie down comfortably.

But Ah Si hesitated and asked, "Miss...someone from the Ministry of Justice brought a message...said...said that Lord Jiang wants to see you for the last time. He has something important to tell you. Would you like to stop by?"

On the way back, we have to pass by the Ministry of Justice, no wonder Ah Si asked this question.

Tomorrow is the day Jiang Shiyan will be executed by guillotine. Normally, he would have a chance to be visited by his relatives and friends, but he asked someone to bring a message to Shen Nanzhi.

It's funny to say that.

Shen Nanzhi originally didn't want to go, but since the news had been brought to the Shen family through the Ministry of Justice, it must have spread.

Even though she and Jiang Shiyan have severed their relationship, in the eyes of the world, their blood relationship cannot be severed.

Most people in the world are like this. Even if Jiang Shiyan made a terrible mistake, if Shen Nanzhi did not see him off for the last time, she would inevitably be criticized in the future for being cold and unfilial.

Shen Nanzhi herself could have not cared, even though she knew that she was being kidnapped by moral kinship, but for the sake of the Shen family's reputation, she still decided to go.

Anyway, you won't lose anything if you just endure it a little longer.

Moreover, since Jiang Shiyan was detained, he has been cut off from the outside world, and the Jiang family has tried every means to visit him but failed, so Jiang Shiyan naturally does not know the whereabouts of Zhao Wan.

Shen Nanzhi felt that he should tell him.

She had been studying Zhao Wan for so long, it was time for her to check the results. Although Jiang Shiyan was a selfish person and might not really take Zhao Wan that seriously, Shen Nanzhi was happy to annoy him once more before she died.

"Go."

She responded, and Ah Si whipped the whip and set off quickly.

Soon they arrived at the Ministry of Justice.

The sky is gloomy and it seems like a heavy rain is going to fall.

She didn’t know if it was due to her physical condition, but Shen Nanzhi felt that even the air was a little colder, making her shiver and subconsciously pull her sleeves together.

Because he had the badge of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and the news was delivered by someone sent by the Ministry of Justice, Shen Nanzhi didn't have to wait long before someone came forward to lead the way.

Along the way, Shen Nanzhi didn't see anyone. He didn't know if they were all delayed by something or were deliberately transferred away.

Shen Nanzhi pondered in his mind, but did not stop.

She passed through the Ministry of Justice through the side door and just as she stepped onto the corridor bridge and was about to go to the prison, she saw a servant coming hurriedly with a few things in his hands.

After walking in front of Shen Nanzhi, he lowered his voice and said, "Miss Shen, the weather is getting colder, and the dungeon is getting colder and damper. When my eldest prince's wife came to deliver food to the eldest prince, she happened to leave a cloak and a hot water bottle, which can help Miss Shen keep warm."

As he spoke, the man respectfully presented the hot water bottle and cloak to Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi then remembered that during the time when Xiao Qian'an was away from Kyoto, the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin was in charge of the liquidation work in the Ministry of Justice.

Just as he was thinking, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyes and saw a figure as tall as a pine tree standing in front of the threshold of the government office not far away.

Different from Xiao Qian'an's sharp edge and Xiao Ziyi's sinisterness, Xiao Huaimin is gentle and generous. He is also dignified, but he does not have the kind of suffocating oppression.

When Shen Nanzhi looked at him, he was also looking at Shen Nanzhi.

He did not act too close, but just nodded slightly from a distance as a greeting.

But just one glance made Shen Nanzhi understand that it was the instruction of the eldest prince's wife Zhou Jinxuan.

Since Xiao Huaimin was in the Ministry of Justice, the couple must have known that Jiang Shiyan had someone pass the message to the Shen family.

Previously, the eldest prince's Zhou Jinxuan did not wait for Shen Nanzhi in the palace. He should have guessed that Shen Nanzhi would come to see Jiang Shiyan off for the last time. Knowing that Shen Nanzhi was unwell, he specially asked someone to bring a letter to Xiao Huaimin and also asked someone to prepare some things.

Moreover, out of consideration for Emperor Shunqing, Xiao Huaimin did not go forward. He only asked a servant to bring it over quietly, and he also specially mobilized the guards around.

These two people are really thoughtful.
