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

The servant was wearing the simplest coarse linen shirt, and looked no different from the waiters below. Even his servile attitude was exactly the same.

"Miss Shen, how is the temperature this time?"

After entering the door, he lowered his head, held the tray respectfully, and presented the second bowl of honey water to Shen Nanzhi.

From the beginning to the end, he looked cowardly, not daring to raise his head or look directly into Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

Shen Nanzhi took the honey water in his hand, the temperature was just right.

However, just like before, Shen Nanzhi only brought it to his lips, without even touching the honey water, and then raised his hand and poured the cup of honey water all over the servant.

Shen Nanzhi saw a hint of surprise in his lowered eyes, but no anger.

Moreover, he reacted quickly again this time, but the moment he raised his hand to block, Shen Nanzhi turned around and splashed it from another direction, splashing him all over the head and face.

"Shen Nanzhi!"

The young man did not react excessively and continued to stand there respectfully, making it impossible to see any fault. However, Xie Wanting opposite him took a breath of cold air.

But with the previous lesson, she finally held back this time. She just frowned and looked at Shen Nanzhi, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Why are you making things difficult for a waiter? If you still have resentment towards me and refuse to forgive me, just come after me. I'll apologize to you again here."

As she said this, she picked up the teacup and was about to stand up to apologize.

However, Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Fourth Miss Xie misunderstood. The temperature of the honey water was just right this time. I just spilled it carelessly. It's my fault. Would Fourth Miss Xie be angry with me just because of a servant who served tea and water?"

Xie Wanting's face became even uglier. She looked at the servant who was standing respectfully beside her with a tray from time to time. Seeing that he did not show any abnormality, she said, "Of course, of course not."

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "In that case, please bring me another glass of honey water."

After hearing this, Xie Wanting wanted to kill someone.

However, the servant who was targeted by Shen Nanzhi still lowered his head respectfully and soon brought over another glass of honey water.

Before it was presented to Shen Nanzhi, Xie Wanting could not help but remind her, "Miss Shen, please watch carefully and don't let your hands slip again."

However, before she could finish, Shen Nanzhi raised his hand and overturned the teacup again.

However, this time the servant directly grabbed Shen Nanzhi's wrist, making Shen Nanzhi unable to move his hand. The warm honey water was about to spill onto Shen Nanzhi's hand. Shen Nanzhi let go and directly dropped the teacup, and raised the tray in his hand with his backhand.

Snapped!

The teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces instantly, splashing the warm honey water everywhere.

Shen Nanzhi also pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve when the servant was stunned for a moment and stabbed it directly at the servant's neck.

But this person is not a vegetarian.

Before Shen Nanzhi's dagger arrived, he turned his feet and dodged Shen Nanzhi's attack, then reached out with his claws to grab Shen Nanzhi.

There was a window next to Shen Nanzhi, but it had been locked before she came in.

Standing behind her was the maid brought by Xie Wanting. She had just observed the movements of the two people and they seemed to be very stable, obviously they were also martial artists.

There is a killing move right in front of him, and Xie Wanting on the opposite side is the only breakthrough point.

Shen Nanzhi's mind moved, but the servant seemed to have thought of Shen Nanzhi's next move in advance. He continued to attack, but he had already retreated directly to Xie Wanting's side, waiting for Shen Nanzhi to fall into the trap.

But Shen Nanzhi just feinted.

The moment the man took half a step back, Shen Nanzhi pointed his toes and leaped up, brushing past the man's side.

Not only did he avoid this man's fatal move, but he also jumped out of the encirclement of these people.

Unfortunately, she originally thought that she could catch the man by turning over, but the man's body was like a loach, very slippery, and it was difficult for Shen Nanzhi to touch him.

Moreover, before she could stand still, the maids and the guards outside the door drew out the soft swords hidden at their waists and were about to attack Shen Nanzhi.

"Wait a minute."

The boy suddenly spoke.

He stood opposite Shen Nanzhi. Although he was still wearing the coarse linen clothes, which were all wet and even his hair was dripping with water, he did not look the least bit disheveled.

Especially with that cold and murderous aura, there was no trace of the timid teahouse waiter just now.

Even though he was wearing a coarse linen shirt at this moment, it was difficult to hide his noble appearance.

He looked at Shen Nanzhi coldly, and said with a bit of joking in his tone: "I didn't expect that Miss Shen would have such a bad temper. She wanted to beat and kill me right away. You are a little girl, this is not good."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows and replied in the same tone as him: "That's better than your Excellency. You are obviously a prince, but you insist on rushing to do this kind of work as a servant. Do you think this is fun, Second Prince?"

The man opposite laughed: "I think it's quite funny. Miss Shen's splashing of tea is quite smooth, isn't it? A beautiful woman's smile is priceless. If I can make Miss Shen happy, it's worth it to be splashed with a few cups of tea."

Although he was smiling, there was a coldness in his eyes that made people feel like they were falling into an ice cellar.

The second prince, Xiao Shihua.

Xie Wanting had a previous experience, and even Liu Jingya knew that this woman had bad intentions. How could Shen Nanzhi trust her?

What's more, Shen Nanzhi saw the men in black and the carriage who were following her from outside the Zhengyang Gate. Even if she didn't follow them, these people would always find ways to intercept her on the road and then "invite" her here.

My third aunt and Liu Jingya were also in the carriage, and Shen Nanzhi didn't want to implicate them.

Only after she was sure that these people were targeting her did she have them sent back first.

As for her, it was much more convenient to be alone without any burden.

Shen Nanzhi recognized the boy the moment he saw him after coming in.

She had never met the second prince Xiao Shihua in this life, so she didn't expect that she would recognize this man even though he was disguised as a servant.

But Shen Nanzhi in his previous life was deeply impressed by this person.

As soon as Emperor Shunqing died, before his funeral could be arranged, Xiao Qian'an and his men found the privately made dragon robe and the forged edict of Emperor Shunqing in the Second Prince's mansion.

He even joined forces with some old ministers to force the emperor to abdicate.

However, he did not expect that Xiao Qian'an was even quicker than him, and he did not expect that although Emperor Shunqing died suddenly, he had left behind an edict long before.

At that time, Xiao Shihua was defeated, and on the night of Emperor Shunqing's death, the Taiji Hall was stained with blood.

To use Xiao Qian'an's words to describe this person - stupid, bad, greedy, and unscrupulous.

But his mother was Concubine Xu, who was once favored in the six palaces, and his maternal grandfather, the Xu family, was also a family of generals. However, they were not as lucky as the Shen family. Almost all of the Xu family members were wiped out in the Rebellion of the Three Kings.

Concubine Xu became depressed because of this and passed away not long after.

Although he lost his mother and the strong support of his maternal family, the second prince had many supporters in the court thanks to the foundation, connections and prestige left by the Xu family.

Moreover, he is the only prince among all the princes who has a military general as his backer.

In addition, he was good at acting in front of Emperor Shunqing, which made him quite popular with Emperor Shunqing. He was the second most beloved son of Emperor Shunqing after Xiao Qian'an.

It was precisely because of this favoritism that even when the evidence of Jiang Bei's corruption case was presented to Emperor Shunqing, with all the clues pointing directly at Xiao Shihua, Emperor Shunqing turned a blind eye and let him off on the grounds that there was no solid evidence.

If Xiao Chuyun had not later found Gao Xun and his son and presented to Emperor Shunqing the complete list of secret letters between Xiao Shihua and the Ministry of Revenue and the list of embezzlement over the years, Emperor Shunqing would not have ordered the house arrest.

In addition, he secretly sent people to assassinate Xiao Chuyun and Xiao Qian'an at that time, and later plotted against Shen Nanzhi and Princess Jiahe in Mingyue Tower, which caused dissatisfaction from the empress dowager and the queen mother, which completely angered Emperor Shunqing, and he even did not take him with him on this spring hunting tour.

When almost everyone thought that he had completely lost the emperor's favor and had no chance of becoming emperor, he suddenly appeared at this time.

Shen Nanzhi thought of this when he saw those sneaky shadows hiding outside the Zhengyang Gate.

It looked like those guys were quite skilled, and they didn't seem like the secret guards that the Xie family could afford.

The Xie family was able to kidnap Lu Pianpian before, thanks to Princess Zhaoning Xiao Xiangxue's secret guards.

But there were only so many people around Xiao Xiangxue, and they were all killed by Shen Nanzhi. She didn't even dare to report this news to the palace.

Where can we find so many people?

What's more, Concubine Zhang has already received the news, so Xiao Xiangxue couldn't have been unaware of it. She was not stupid enough to cause trouble for Concubine Zhang at this time.

Moreover, Shen Nanzhi has placed people around her. If she really wants to take action, the news should be passed to Shen Nanzhi at the first time.

So, it’s not Xiao Xiangxue.

But apart from her, the only person Shen Nanzhi could think of who was hostile to Shen Nanzhi and could mobilize these masters was the Second Prince.

As soon as the news of Xiao Qian'an's accident came out, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Shen Nanzhi could have run away at this time, but she knew that Xiao Shihua must have another trick up his sleeve, and she also wanted to see what this man was going to do.

Even if he had been at odds with Xiao Chuyun before and wanted to take revenge on Shen Nanzhi, in the current situation, there were obviously more important things than revenge.

The Zhou family plotted rebellion, Xiao Qian'an was killed, the government and the country were shaken, and the appointment of a crown prince was imminent.

Emperor Shunqing only has a few sons, and Xiao Chuyun is still recuperating in the palace. Not to mention his poor health, he was crowned king at an early age, which obviously excluded him from the candidates for the crown prince by Emperor Shunqing.

The only one who could still pose a threat to Xiao Shihua was the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin.

After Xiao Qian'an's death, Xiao Huaimin's prestige in the court became even higher. Moreover, he was the eldest son and the legitimate son of the empress, so his status was legitimate and there was nothing wrong with it.

If Xiao Shihua wants that position, he must first deal with the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin.

This is exactly what Shen Nanzhi is worried about.

She was afraid that Xiao Shihua would capture her, and the people he really wanted to deal with were the eldest prince and the eldest prince's wife.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, and the look he gave Xiao Shihua became even colder.

Xiao Shihua clapped his hands and praised, "Miss Shen has good eyesight. She recognized me. But I am a little curious. We have never met before. If no one reminded me, I would not have recognized Miss Shen. How did Miss Shen recognize me?"

His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of Emperor Shunqing. Although handsome, he inexplicably gives people a gloomy and oppressive feeling, especially when he is smiling with his mouth but not his eyes.

Most of the three cups of tea from Shen Nanzhi spilled on him.

Even though there was still honey water on his face and his chest and sleeves were soaked, he was able to keep his composure. At least there was no sign of annoyance on his face. He just looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smile, and no one knew what he was planning.

Shen Nanzhi shook the wrist that he had pulled before and said casually: "Nothing, I just guessed."

Hearing this, Xiao Shihua smiled slightly: "Miss Shen, do you think I will believe it?"

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but roll his eyes and pointed at his eyebrows, "You look so much like the emperor, is it strange that I guessed it?"

Although he was indeed lowering his head at the time, making it difficult to recognize him at first glance, Shen Nanzhi's reason was barely acceptable.

Xiao Shihua turned around and sat down on the armchair opposite Shen Nanzhi. He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smile: "Since Miss Shen doesn't want to drink the honey water I sent, then I have to find someone else."

As he spoke, he raised two fingers and tapped the table casually.

Soon someone brought in another cup of honey water and placed it in front of Shen Nanzhi.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but sneered: "The Second Prince is really persistent."

She didn't take the glass of honey water.

Xiao Shihua was not in a hurry. He lazily leaned back on the armchair, propped up his chin with one hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, trust me. If you don't drink, you will regret it."

Shen Nanzhi tiptoed over and simply hooked a chair over to the side, sitting calmly opposite him, and imitated his nonchalant tone, retorting: "I don't know how the Second Prince wants me to regret it?"

Having said that, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously glanced at Xie Wanting who was standing beside Xiao Shihua with her head lowered.

Feeling Shen Nanzhi's scrutiny, Xie Wanting turned around and looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smug look on her face, mocking him, "Shen Nanzhi, you have no say in what happened here today. Aren't you very powerful? Did you ever think that this day would come?"

At this time, Xie Wanting looked at Shen Nanzhi with eyes that seemed to be filled with poison, and her eyes were full of resentment as if she wanted to eat Shen Nanzhi alive.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi was not annoyed, but sympathetically said: "Xie Wanting, if you had sincerely apologized to me at first, I would have forgiven you, but I didn't expect that you would be so unrepentant. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you follow this person next to you, you won't know how you died."

Hearing this, Xie Wanting was extremely angry and was about to curse back, but was stopped by Xiao Shihua with a look.

He looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smile: "Miss Shen, there is no need to be so quick-witted. I know you are waiting for someone."

Shen Nanzhi, whose thoughts were seen through by him, was not annoyed. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Xiao Shihua's smile becoming even brighter: "That's right, I'm waiting for someone too."
