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

The man was wearing a black brocade shirt with narrow sleeves and deerskin boots. He jumped on the horse with quick and decisive movements.

The commander of the Imperial Guards is Xiao Fang.

Previously at the autumn hunting ground, he had testified for Shen Nanzhi and rescued him.

Although he was telling the truth, being able to stand up at that time was a great help to Shen Nanzhi.

"Commander Xiao, how are you? In this weather, I wonder why you are in such a hurry?"

Xiao Fang had just sat firmly on the horse, and the moment he saw Shen Nanzhi, he got off the horse again, led the horse to Shen Nanzhi's carriage, clasped his fists, and said respectfully and politely: "Miss Shen, how are you? I came here to seek medical advice."

Seeing some confusion in Shen Nanzhi's eyes, Xiao Fang continued, "My mother's headache relapsed, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless. They only prescribed a prescription, saying that it could only temporarily relieve the symptoms. However, the herbs in the prescription were folk remedies, and even the Imperial Hospital didn't have them. I had to send people to search for them everywhere."

So that's how it is. No wonder he was in such a hurry to go in and out of the clinic.

The rain was getting heavier, but Xiao Fang seemed to pay no attention to it.

He stood in front of Shen Nanzhi's carriage in the rain, leading the horse. Xiao Fang looked up at Shen Nanzhi and said bluntly, "I heard before that the fourth daughter of the Xie family became stupid due to a headache. The Xie family looked for doctors in the capital but they were unable to help. It is said that a young miracle doctor helped the fourth daughter of Xie recover. I also visited the eldest lady of the Xie family before, wanting to find the whereabouts of the young miracle doctor, but the Xie family never mentioned it."

At this point, he said with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "But before that, I had someone check. When Fuyun Tower collapsed, Fourth Miss Xie was saved by a young doctor who worked for Miss Shen. I wonder if that young doctor was the miracle doctor who saved Fourth Miss Xie? Does Miss Shen know the whereabouts of that young doctor?"

This is asking Shen Nanzhi to ask Lu Pianpian for help.

Shen Nanzhi had a good impression of him. This man was loyal and upright, and he had done him a favor before. However, he did not completely let down his guard. After all... as the commander of the Imperial Guard, he only obeyed the orders of Emperor Shunqing.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was Emperor Shunqing's confidant.

That day he led the team to the place where the blind bear went crazy, and the alibi evidence produced by Shen Nanzhi was deliberately shown to him because his testimony would be convincing.

And an encounter like today...it's hard to say it wasn't intentional.

After all, his people are everywhere in the palace. It is not difficult to find out when Shen Nanzhi will leave the palace and then calculate the time to wait here.

Besides, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, he had enough people at his disposal. He didn't have to rush from house to house to find a medicine according to the prescription.

Xiao Fang was also a perceptive person. He seemed to have seen through Shen Nanzhi's concerns when Shen Nanzhi hesitated for a moment. He immediately clasped his fists towards Shen Nanzhi and lowered his voice, which could be heard faintly through the rain.

"To be honest, I came here specifically to look for Miss Shen, but I was afraid that this would be too sudden and might offend Miss Shen, so I waited for her here."

It was said to be an offense, but looking at his eyes, Shen Nanzhi instantly understood that his deeper meaning was that he was afraid that people would find out that he and Shen Nanzhi had a private relationship.

After all, the Shen family is now at the center of controversy, and I don’t know how many eyes are watching them.

Xiao Fang's identity is so sensitive. If he comes to Shen Nanzhi privately, there is no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives will not make a big fuss about it and then spread it to the ears of Emperor Shunqing.

He was considering both himself and Shen Nanzhi to avoid suspicion.

Moreover, just meeting on the street and saying hello has nothing to do with conspiracy, and it is good for both parties.

Although this man is a military general, he is a man of meticulous mind.

And at least it seems honest.

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, Xiao Fang continued, "My mother is suffering from headaches, and the imperial physician has diagnosed that she doesn't have much time left. If Miss Shen knows the whereabouts of the young genius doctor, please let me know. I will never forget this great favor."

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi quickly raised her hand to stop him: "Commander Xiao, you are too polite. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If I can help, I will do my best. Although Pianpian is staying in my house temporarily, but... it's a long story. The Xie family should not have told Commander Xiao that Pianpian was seriously injured a few days ago and almost lost her life. She is still recovering from her injuries. With her current physical condition, it is really not suitable for her to travel outside the house..."

In fact, Lu Pianpian is already in good health and has no problem going out for a walk.

But Shen Nanzhi still said this on purpose.

On the one hand, she was also afraid that there might be some trap targeting Lu Pianpian or the Shen family, so she raised the question. If Xiao Fang's mother's condition was really urgent, he would definitely find a way to have her come to the Shen family in person to be treated by Lu Pianpian. How to cover her whereabouts at that time were all issues that Xiao Fang should consider so that the Shen family would not be put in a passive position.

Secondly, Shen Nanzhi vented his anger for Lu Pianpian last time, and Princess Zhaoning Xiao Xiangxue has not recovered for a while, but when she calms down, with her vengeful nature, she will definitely attack Lu Pianpian and Shen Nanzhi again. It is always good to have someone like Xiao Fang to help protect Lu Pianpian, but Shen Nanzhi did not say explicitly that it was Xiao Xiangxue now. He was just waiting for Xiao Fang to bring people to the Shen family and show his sincerity before explaining in detail.

Shen Nanzhi had read intelligence about Xiao Fang before. Although he was the eldest son of the Xiao family, his father died early and he and his mother were ostracized by the Xiao family. Before he entered the officialdom, they had a very difficult life in the Xiao family. It was only after he emerged in the court and was gradually appreciated by Emperor Shunqing that they gradually gained control of the Xiao family.

Xiao Fang is also extremely filial to his mother.

If Xiao's mother was really critically ill, Shen Nanzhi felt that he would take the risk.

Sure enough, he only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately agreed: "As long as Miss Shen can let the little doctor help my mother with the diagnosis, without the little doctor leaving the house in person, I will find a way to let my mother come to visit."

In this case, Shen Nanzhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to Pian Pian about this. The wind is strong and the rain is heavy, so Commander Xiao should go back early."

The "chatting" time was indeed a bit long. Xiao Fang nodded, and after clasping his fists with Shen Nanzhi again, he got on his horse and left in a hurry as before.

Shen Nanzhi's carriage also continued to move forward.

The rain was getting heavier, and their conversation was buried in the wind and rain. Even Ah Si, who was sitting in front of the carriage, couldn't hear it clearly. Of course, they were not afraid of being overheard by others.

On the way back, Qiu Yu couldn't help but whispered, "Girl, Commander Xiao has to be so sneaky to see you, how can he dare to let his old lady come to your house in person?"

The Xiao family has always been neutral in the court, not participating in any party disputes and only being loyal to the emperor. Therefore, they are considered to be unique and have almost no dealings with other major families.

The eldest lady of the Xiao family's rash visit was indeed more eye-catching than Xiao Fang's private meeting with Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi hugged the soup bottle tightly in her arms and said in a calm tone: "That depends on the ability of Commander Xiao."

How could it be easy for someone to become the commander of the Imperial Guard?

Qiuyu was still a little confused, but she didn't ask too much. She just thought that Lu Pianpian was obviously getting better, but she had to pretend to be seriously injured and weak. Qiuyu couldn't help but joked: "Then let her eat less pork knuckles in the next two days, otherwise she won't be able to pretend like that, and people will see through her at a glance."

After saying this, the master and servant smiled at each other.

When I returned to the Shen family, I didn't see Xiao Chuyun, but my uncle Shen Huaishu was back.

Shen Nanzhi's wedding date brought mixed feelings to the Shen family.

While he had to continue pretending to be sad and searching for Shen Changan's whereabouts, he also had to start arranging Shen Nanzhi's marriage.

Shen Nanzhi first went back to her own yard to change her clothes, and then went to see Liu Jingya with the brocade box given by Concubine Liu Shufei.

Liu Jingya still looked listless, not at all as high spirits as usual. She didn't want to make Shen Nanzhi worry, so she forced herself to cheer up and comfort Shen Nanzhi.

This made Shen Nan feel even more ashamed.

At the beginning, Emperor Shunqing's sword was hanging over the Shen family's head, so people dared not relax for a moment. For the safety of Shen Changan, they had to conceal the matter.

Now that Lin Hongrui is dead and the *** Palace has lost power, Emperor Shunqing has turned his attention to the Zhou family of Yuzhou, wanting to re-employ the Shen family and let Shen Huaishu take over the Shen family army. In addition, with the blessing of the imperial edict with a set wedding date in Shen Nanzhi's hand, the Shen family has more security. Therefore, even if the news that Shen Changan is still alive is leaked at this time, it will not change the overall situation.

The dog emperor no longer has time to deal with the Shen family. He also has to win over the Shen family and make use of them.

The only thing to note is that no one should know that Shen Changan faked his death on purpose.

Shen Nanzhi only hoped that Shen Changan could arrive in Qingyang safely, so that he could find out the situation quickly and quietly eliminate the spies that Emperor Shunqing and Lin Hongrui had previously planted in the Shen family army.

At that time, should we find a reason that Shen Changan was lucky and had been saved by a miracle doctor, or let him continue to hide his identity and act secretly? This needs to be discussed with my uncle and aunt.

But at the moment, there is no longer the tense feeling of life and death as before. In addition, Liu Jingya is willing to do this for Shen Changan and the Shen family. Now she is a member of the Shen family, and she and her aunt are still working together to hide it from Liu Jingya. Shen Nanzhi feels guilty.

After leaving Liu Jingya, Shen Nanzhi went to see his uncle Shen Huaishu again. Coincidentally, several aunts and mother were there too.

My uncle’s injuries have almost healed, and he is one of the people who knows about Shen Changan’s affairs.

While the second aunt and the fourth aunt were talking to A-niang, Shen Nanzhi called the eldest aunt and the youngest uncle to go to the study together.

Before Shen Nanzhi opened her mouth, her aunt suggested, "Huaishu, Zhizhi, now that the situation of the Shen family is gradually becoming clear, I thought, why not tell Jingya and your two sisters-in-law about Chang'an? They are all family members, and they are close friends. There is no reason to exclude them. Now seeing how sad they are for Chang'an, I really feel bad. What do you think?"

My aunt-in-law actually thought of the same thing.

Shen Huaishu nodded: "That's what I was thinking. We are closer to Yuzhou than the capital, so we got the news from Yuzhou first. At that time, we thought of the current situation. This is a letter from Changan to Jingya. He said that if we think the time is right, we can give this letter to her."

Hearing this, the aunt said happily, "That's great. Finally, I don't have to hide it from everyone. You don't know, I've been feeling sick these past two days."

Shen Nanzhi understood this deeply, but still reminded her aunt: "However, the more people know, the more careful we should be, so that no one will reveal any flaws."

The eldest aunt nodded and said, "Of course. Fortunately, with your wedding approaching, the atmosphere in the mansion is more relaxed and cheerful. With this excuse, people won't think too much."

Now that it was finalized, the three of them did not delay and asked someone to call Liu Jingya, along with the other two aunts, Shen Yanxin. The family sent everyone else away and arranged for secret guards to guard outside the courtyard. Only then did they share the secret behind closed doors.

Seeing the letter handed over by Shen Huaishu, Liu Jingya hadn't reacted yet, and the second aunt beside her couldn't help but patted the eldest aunt's shoulder and cried with joy: "Sister-in-law! You really pissed me off! God knows how many tears I have shed in the past few days. Even my pillow is wet when I sleep at night. Although Chang'an is your biological son, he is also my son!"

The usually taciturn fourth aunt also choked up and said, "It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine, Jingya doesn't have to follow our old path."

My aunt was also infected by this emotion. She sighed and said with red eyes: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had known earlier, I would have known earlier... Oh!"

The third and fourth aunts were not really blaming them, and they understood their difficulties. It was just that the news was such a surprise that they didn't know how to express their feelings for a moment, so they pretended to be angry and deliberately complained about these two things.

After the two cried and laughed, they realized that Shen Yanxin's expression was exceptionally calm. Even the aunt and Shen Huaishu couldn't help but look at Shen Yanxin with confusion, and then glanced at Shen Nanzhi.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi quickly raised her hands in surrender: "I really didn't say that. Auntie guessed it herself."

Shen Nanzhi was just feeling helpless when Liu Jingya grabbed her wrist.

Liu Jingya, who has been as thin as a bamboo pole these days, has surprisingly big tendons in her arms.

She held the letter tightly in one hand and Shen Nanzhi's wrist in the other. She stared at Shen Nanzhi and said, "Sister Zhizhi, what you said... is it true... that you didn't lie to me?"

It was so unexpected and surprising that she felt infinitely terrified, afraid that it was just a joke... afraid that she would still have to face the cruel reality after waking up.

Shen Nanzhi stretched out his other hand and covered the back of Liu Jingya's hand, and said gently: "Sister Jingya, it's true, and if you don't believe me, you can open this letter and you will know."

Liu Jingya had already burst into tears.

She tried to tear open the envelope several times, but because her hands were shaking so badly, she couldn't do it for a long time. This scene made several aunts cry again.

Finally, with the help of Shen Nanzhi, she was able to unfold the letter.

Only when she saw the familiar handwriting did Liu Jingya burst into tears.

In order not to make the Shen family worry and sad, her forced strength collapsed at this moment.

The grief, depression and despair of the past few days were completely vented at this moment.

Liu Jingya threw herself into Shen Nanzhi's arms and choked up, "Sister Zhizhi, he's still alive, he's really still alive!"
