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

My uncle really noticed something!

Even when facing his uncle, Shen Nanzhi felt nervous.

After all, they were the remnants of Prince Ning.

Not to mention the Shen family's current position, which should have nothing to do with them, just the Shen family itself, they also have a feud!

Because of Xiao Chuyun's firm choice and protection in his past and present lives, Shen Nanzhi trusts him and likes him, so she chooses him without hesitation.

But what about my uncle?

If he knew all this, what would he choose?

Shen Nanzhi's heart was in his throat.

From my uncle's point of view, any reaction is reasonable and excusable.

"Uncle..."

Shen Nanzhi opened her mouth nervously, and just after she called out, she saw Shen Huaishu smiling gently: "Silly girl, I'm not forcing you to answer, nor am I forcing you to make a choice. I just want to tell you that no matter what path you choose, the Shen family and I will be behind you. It was like this before, and it will be the same now and in the future."

Even though he had already realized that this might be related to Prince Ning's rebellion, the uncle still trusted her unconditionally and supported her without hesitation.

This is her family.

Shen Nanzhi's nose felt sore and she couldn't help but shed tears: "Uncle!"

Shen Huaishu raised his hand and patted her shoulder, saying softly: "You are so old, and you are still crying. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the maids? Well, time is running out, I have to go."

Shen Huaishu sighed softly: "Take care of yourself."

Having said that, he turned around and walked away.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi's eyes were completely red, "Uncle, take care!"

Shen Huaishu smiled and waved at her. Without stopping, he passed through the crescent arch and disappeared from Shen Nanzhi's sight.

Shen Nanzhi's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

She returned to the yard and was about to sit down when she saw Lu Pianpian poking her head out of the house and saying, "Sister Zhizhi."

Shen Nanzhi waved at her: "How is the lady?"

Based on Shen Nanzhi's understanding of Lu Pianpian, Lu Pianpian did not tell the truth to Madam Xiao just now.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Pianpian smiled slyly, “Nothing can be hidden from Sister Zhizhi’s eyes. I was just about to tell you about this.”

"In fact, her headache is not difficult to cure. I kept it a secret on purpose. After the acupuncture today and the medicine, it will be half cured. I don't want them to think the treatment is too easy so that they will accept Sister Zhizhi's favor. It's just..."

At this point, Lu Pianpian looked a little embarrassed. "It's just that when she sees the effect, she will definitely come to visit again. However, next time, she needs to receive acupuncture for five consecutive days. I see that she has to cover up a lot when she comes here today. It may be even more inconvenient for her to come for five consecutive days. Why don't you let me go? The old lady is already inconvenient to move, and this will not be conducive to her recovery."

It is indeed not very convenient. Now Shen Nanzhi has also seen Xiao Fang's sincerity, and they are still counting on Lu Pianpian to cure their illness. It is naturally most appropriate to let Lu Pianpian go.

But with the previous experience of Xiao Xiangxue, Shen Nanzhi dared not let Lu Pianpian leave his range.

"Sister Zhizhi, don't worry, I can just go out and get some fresh air. Besides, I also have to learn to grow up on my own. What's more, you will send someone to protect me, so I have nothing to be afraid of."

Lu Pianpian blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Shen Nanzhi expectantly. Shen Nanzhi had no choice but to agree: "Okay then, be sure to be safe."

Lu Pianpian happily agreed. Shen Nanzhi wanted to give her a few more instructions, but saw Qiuyu coming back in a hurry.

"Miss, someone from the Ministry of Justice came to question you, asking whether you should arrange for someone to collect the body, or let the Jiang family do it."

Shen Nanzhi raised her hand and fiddled with the crabapple branches that were sticking out from the window. She said in a cold tone, "Sending the Buddha to the west is just the last step. Jiang Shiyan is a criminal and cannot be buried. We just need to send someone to buy a thin coffin and bury him in a corner outside the city to avoid gossip."

Qiu Yu agreed and turned around to give orders.

Shen Nanzhi was also busy. She compared and integrated the list sent by Wen Lanxiang with the intelligence information from Mo Yun, and memorized the intricate network of relationships between the major families and forces in the capital.

Moreover, she asked someone to get the blueprints of the imperial palace and memorized the layout of the palace and the location of each palace.

After writing down all this, Shen Nanzhi wanted to find an opportunity to enter the palace.

Once in her previous life, she accompanied Xiao Qian'an into the palace to pay respects to Concubine Zhang. After having a meal with Concubine Zhang, Concubine Zhang had something to say to Xiao Qian'an, so she sent Shen Nanzhi out for a walk.

It was at that time that Shen Nanzhi met Xizi who was rushing out from a side hall in a panic.

Shen Nanzhi felt that this young eunuch was too suspicious and wanted to go over to take a look, but was stopped by Xiao Qian'an.

It was then that Shen Nanzhi learned from Xiao Qian'an that this seemingly inconspicuous eunuch was actually one of Emperor Shunqing's secret agents. His appearance there must have been ordered by Emperor Shunqing to deal with important matters.

And since he was using secret agents, he naturally didn't want other people to know, so Xiao Qian'an stopped Shen Nanzhi.

In his previous life, Shen Nanzhi just let it go and didn't think much about it.

Now the more I think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.

In Emperor Shunqing's harem, is there anything else that requires a little eunuch to be sent to do it secretly and stealthily?

Moreover, it was a side hall that looked to have been vacant for a long time.

When Emperor Shunqing issued a secret order to Ye Kunshan, he also sent Xizi to convey it.

Apart from anything else, this little eunuch is definitely one of Emperor Shunqing's confidants.

Shen Nanzhi wanted to take advantage of the next opportunity to enter the palace and secretly investigate.

However, this wait lasted for half a month.

Not only was there no news coming out of the palace, there was no news coming back from Yuzhou either. There was not even a whisper from Xiao Chuyun or Xiao Qian'an.

Shen Nanzhi had no chance to enter the palace.

With less than half a month left before their wedding, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was making intensive preparations, but there was no movement at all from the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion. They still announced to the outside world that the Prince of Zhenbei was seriously ill in bed, which led to a lot of rumors outside.

The most widely spread one is the theory of getting married for the sake of prosperity.

It is said that Prince Zhenbei Xiao Chuyun was on the verge of death, and Emperor Shunqing listened to the suggestion of the Imperial Observatory and moved up the wedding date to bring Xiao Chuyun back to safety.

Because Xiao Chuyun never showed up, more and more people believed this statement. Even the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the aunt came to ask Shen Nanzhi about this.

Shen Nanzhi didn't care about these things. What she was concerned about was Xiao Chuyun's safety.

Calculating the time, when Xiao Chuyun set out from the capital, the substitute was already on the way back from Yuzhou, so it shouldn't have been delayed for so long.

Thinking of his previous dream and the price of burning his soul, Shen Nanzhi felt uneasy.

She found a flowerpot and planted the red bean that Xiao Chuyun had sent her before.

After half a month, the red beans sprouted, but there was no news from Xiao Chuyun.

Looking at the tender green leaf tips in the flowerpot, Shen Nanzhi felt annoyed.

She had never had a good conversation with Xiao Chuyun before, and even when he went to Yuzhou again, the two of them were unable to say goodbye in person.

Shen Nanzhi was lost in thought as he was fiddling with the tip of the leaf with his fingertips when he heard Chuntao coming from outside to report that someone had come from the palace.

Today is Concubine Liu Shufei's birthday. Emperor Shunqing has been busy with government affairs recently and has no time to prepare a birthday ceremony for her, but he allowed her to hold a family banquet in his own Jinxiu Palace and allowed her family members to enter the palace to celebrate her birthday.

Concubine Liu Shu naturally would not miss Liu Jingya and Liu Xiuzhu, and of course she would also have to include Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi was waiting for this day.

The one who came to pick them up was Qingluan, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Liu.

After the meeting, Shen Nanzhi had the birthday gift prepared in advance loaded onto the carriage and taken into the palace.

Along the way, Liu Jingya and Shen Nanzhi changed from their usual playful and cheerful ways. Including their third aunt Liu Xiuzhu, all three of them looked gloomy and forced themselves to smile.

To the outside world, the Shen family still refused to believe that Shen Changan was dead and refused to build a cenotaph for him. The search and rescue operation for Shen Changan was still ongoing. Now seeing the two of them like this, even Qingluan couldn't help but shed tears of heartache.

Originally, Shen Nanzhi was worried that Liu Jingya's temperament was not calm enough and that she might reveal her flaws, but he did not expect that Liu Jingya's acting skills were so good that even Shen Nanzhi could not compare to hers.

Perhaps taking Liu Jingya's mood into consideration and knowing that she was not willing to face those people from the Liu family right now, Concubine Liu Shu only invited a few sisters-in-law, including Liu Jingya's mother.

Although the news of the fifth prince Xiao Ziyi's death has not yet been reported, it is an indisputable fact that Emperor Shunqing values ​​the Shen family. The Liu family, which was originally afraid of being dragged down and wanted to completely draw a line with the Shen family, has now changed its attitude.

Seeing a few people coming from afar, the wives of the Liu family greeted them warmly, completely forgetting how they stood idly by when Liu Jingya was expelled from the Liu family that day.

After all, out of consideration for Concubine Liu's face and not wanting things to get too awkward at her birthday party, Liu Jingya and Liu Xiuzhu, the aunt and niece, had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the conversation.

After paying homage to Concubine Liu Shufei, Liu Xiuzhu was pulled aside by several ladies of the Liu family to chat with Concubine Liu Shufei, while Liu Jingya was pulled aside by her mother to talk in private.

While they were talking, Shen Nanzhi used the excuse of going for a walk in the Imperial Garden and left Jinxiu Palace with only a little palace maid.

Not long after she walked out, she found an excuse to send the little palace maid away.

Shen Nanzhi walked through the imperial garden alone, following the memories of his previous life, and found the side hall.

After avoiding the palace guards and deliberately circumventing two courtyard walls, Shen Nanzhi then went around through the back door.

She looked around and made sure there was no one else around before she climbed over the wall.

Of course, before entering, Shen Nanzhi did not forget to leave his own secret code and a trace of tracking incense on the courtyard wall.

The drawings that Shen Nanzhi had seen before said that this place was called Yuquan Palace.

It now looks like a dilapidated and run-down side hall, but in the past it was the bedroom of the late emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Fang.

And Concubine Fang is the mother of the now-dreaded Prince Ning, and Fang Hongyi's elder sister.

After the death of the late emperor, Concubine Fang died of excessive grief not long after.

Not long after Concubine Fang passed away, Prince Ning began to doubt the late emperor's will. Originally in mourning in the capital, he fled back to his fiefdom overnight and raised the banner of rebellion, thus marking the beginning of the eight-year-long Rebellion of the Three Kings.

Since Concubine Fang passed away, the Yuquan Palace has been idle.

So many years have passed, and the once magnificent palace has become overgrown with weeds.

Not only the main gate, but also several side doors were locked with heavy locks. Ordinary people could not get in unless they climbed over the high courtyard wall.

But in her previous life, Shen Nanzhi saw with her own eyes that Xizi walked out of the side door.

She hadn't seen the lock on the door yet.

The weeds in the yard are half a person tall.

Shen Nanzhi was standing behind that side door.

It has been raining at night recently, and the weed-covered courtyard has become especially slippery.

It looked like no one had been here for a long time.

Shen Nanzhi almost started to wonder if he was thinking wrongly. Perhaps Xizi was just having a secret meeting with someone here at that time, but at this moment he saw rows of footprints hidden under the weeds at the foot of the wall.

The footprints were very shallow and should not have been there for very long. If it hadn't just rained, they would have been unnoticeable.

Since she was here, Shen Nanzhi came to find out what was going on. Of course, there was no reason to give up. She held her breath and followed the footprints.

After the previous experience of accidentally touching the mechanism in the hot spring villa, Shen Nanzhi took every step carefully this time, for fear of making a mistake.

As a result, she had to slow down.

It took her nearly a quarter of an hour to finally follow the footprints and reach the main hall.

The doors and windows of the main hall were tightly closed. Due to the long time, the oil paper pasted on the doors and windows were damaged to varying degrees. The light and shadow in the hall were mottled. Although the furnishings in the hall were covered with a thick layer of dust, they were still in good condition.

The footprints disappeared at the door, but after Shen Nanzhi entered, he saw only dust on the ground. It was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.

The owner of the footprints came here so carefully, it is impossible for him to just take a look at the main hall door and leave.

Shen Nanzhi stepped over the threshold and was wondering what was going on here, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the yard.

Someone was coming, and on the way she was coming!

If Shen Nanzhi pulled away at this moment, he would run into the person who came.

But the hall was filled with dust and the furnishings were endless, leaving no place for Shen Nanzhi to hide.

The rustling sound was very close.

In desperation, Shen Nanzhi quickly and quietly closed the door of the hall, then flipped over and nimbly climbed onto the beam of the hall.

Fortunately, the main beam was strong enough and Shen Nanzhi's figure was slender enough to hide her body.

She supported herself on the beam with one hand and clenched the hem of her clothes and sleeves with the other. Just as she hid herself, the door of the main hall was pushed open with a creaky sound.

There really are people who sneak into places like this!

If it was just a conspiracy, why bother coming all the way to the main hall? The weed-covered courtyard outside was a perfect place for a secret meeting.

At this point, Shen Nanzhi's curiosity was infinitely magnified.

A gust of wind suddenly blew in, causing dust to rise in the hall.

Feeling that the man's footsteps stopped under the beam where he was, Shen Nanzhi even held his breath.
