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

Shen Nanzhi, who was already feeling a little dizzy and dazed, looked carefully and saw that it was his third aunt.

She was afraid that her third aunt would worry, so she gave the signal to the secret guard. She blew the whistle here. On the one hand, she wanted to tell Xiao Fang that she had stabilized the situation inside and he could bring people in. On the other hand, she wanted to tell her lurking secret guard to go back and inform her third aunt and the others so that they don't have to worry.

Unexpectedly, my third aunt Liu Xiuzhu arrived so quickly.

The third aunt is usually not a person who shows her emotions, but this time she was really frightened by Shen Nanzhi. After all, even the commander of the imperial guards was dispatched, and it also involved the struggle for the throne between the second prince and the eldest prince. You can imagine what a dangerous scene it was.

Seeing that Shen Nanzhi was safe and sound, the always dignified and steady third aunt couldn't help but hugged Shen Nanzhi into her arms.

"My dear, are you okay? You scared your aunt to death. Don't leave us to take risks alone again."

She became a widow not long after her marriage and had no children. Over the years, she had treated Shen Changan and Shen Nanzhi as her own children. Moreover, she loved the delicate girl in front of her more than the naughty Shen Changan.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Third Aunt."

Shen Nanzhi felt warm in his heart and raised his hand to hug his third aunt back.

For the sake of such a family, she must protect them no matter how many storms and obstacles the future holds.

Shen Nanzhi poked her head out from her aunt's arms and said, "The eldest prince's wife needs to be taken care of in our house for the next few days. His Highness is already waiting downstairs. Let's go back first."

The third aunt nodded and then let Shen Nanzhi go.

Several people went downstairs together, and sure enough, the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin was already waiting beside the Shen family's carriage.

He had already put Zhou Jinxuan on the carriage. Seeing Shen Nanzhi and others coming down, Xiao Huaimin clasped his fists and said, "Madam, Miss Shen, Miss Liu, I'll leave Xuan in your care for the next few days."

He had to go to the palace to clean up such a big mess, so he couldn't leave. Otherwise, he would have to send Zhou Jinxuan there personally and watch her wake up before he could feel at ease.

But with Shen Nanzhi's promise, Xiao Huaimin had nothing to worry about.

Time was running out, so they got up and got on the carriage without even bothering to exchange pleasantries.

On the way back, Shen Nanzhi told his third aunt and Liu Jingya what happened in the teahouse, which made them terrified.

They didn't even dare to think about what kind of situation they would be facing now if there was any deviation in Shen Nanzhi's plan today.

The eldest prince and his wife died tragically, Shen Nanzhi was tortured to death by Jiang Yanran, and even the peace and stability of Da Qi and Beiyi were affected.

The third aunt gasped and held Shen Nanzhi's hand tightly: "That was a close call! My Zhizhi is really awesome!"

Liu Jingya also said: "Yes, I just walked in and took a quick look, and I almost fainted. I didn't dare to think about what I would do if it were me."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi held her hand and said seriously: "Sister Jingya is also very capable. I was forced to do that. If I really encountered such a situation, Sister Jingya would also be able to do well."

In his previous life, he was willing to sever ties with the Liu family, to offend the emperor, to bear all the shock, confusion, accusations and contempt, to collect the bodies of the Shen family and to carry Shen Changan's body alone to bury him. Such courage and perseverance are far beyond that of ordinary people.

As long as my uncle and Shen Chang'an can reorganize the Shen family army, even if Emperor Shunqing wants to attack the Shen family, he will have to think twice. What's more, these older princes have died, and after the Yuzhou Rebellion, Da Qi was severely damaged. Emperor Shunqing will not be so desperate to continue to attack the Shen family and abandon the stability of Da Qi.

When Shen Changan comes back, his marriage with Liu Jingya can be put on the agenda.

In this life, they can finally achieve perfection.

Shen Nanzhi smiled knowingly.

Perhaps noticing Shen Nanzhi's strange gaze, Liu Jingya asked curiously, "Sister Zhizhi, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but raise her hand and write on her palm: I'm waiting for the day to attend my sister-in-law's wedding.

As the last stroke of the word came down, Liu Jingya's face turned as red as the fiery clouds in the sky.

She couldn't help but glare at Shen Nanzhi coquettishly.

But since there were other people in the carriage, it was difficult to say anything.

Shen Nanzhi teased her like this and laughed all the way back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which had received the news in advance, had already made preparations, and Lu Pianpian had been waiting for a long time.

After taking over Zhou Jinxuan, Lu Pianpian drove Shen Nanzhi and the others out: "I want to give acupuncture to the eldest prince's wife, Sister Zhizhi, you wait for a moment."

The waiting time was extremely long.

Although Shen Nanzhi knew that Zhou Jinxuan's life was probably not in danger, she was worried because she hadn't woken up for a moment.

She was anxious, and saw Zhuifeng coming hurriedly and climbing over the courtyard wall. But when he saw Liu Jingya following Shen Nanzhi, Zhuifeng paused.

Shen Nanzhi knew that this news was related to Xiao Chuyun.

Of course, Shen Nanzhi didn't distrust Liu Jingya, but the secrets involved here were of great importance. The more she knew, the more dangerous it would be. She didn't want to make Liu Jingya worry, so she found an excuse to walk out. When she went to the deserted lotus pond, Zhuifeng appeared.

"Girl, the prince is back."

After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi's heart, which had been on the edge of a cliff for days, finally settled down.

But then she thought again and felt that something was wrong.

Xiao Chuyun is back. Even if he can't leave, will he send someone to inform her as soon as possible?

Instead of asking his secret guard Zhuifeng to bring back the news.

Shen Nanzhi turned around and frowned at Zhuifeng. Before she could say anything, she heard Zhuifeng say, "It's not the news sent by the prince. It's the news our people brought back from the palace. It says that the prince was summoned to the imperial study by the emperor today."

To the outside world, Xiao Chuyun had been recuperating in the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion recently, so when he returned to the capital to meet the emperor, he could only use this excuse.

Shen Nanzhi frowned and asked, "Have you heard any other news? For example, how is the prince's health?"

After saying this, even Shen Nanzhi himself found it a little funny. Even if there was news coming back, it was true and false, and it had some credibility.

Although thinking so, Shen Nanzhi's heart still wrenched when he heard Zhuifeng say that the prince's health seemed to be worse.

She took a deep breath and comforted herself. She thought that he was back after all, and when he came out of the palace, she would always find a reason or an opportunity to come over quietly.

She would just wait. If it really didn't work, she would go to the Zhenbei Palace in person later.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi ordered Zhuifeng: "Keep an eye on the Zhenbei Palace for me and see if you can get in touch with Mo Yun and ask what's going on."

Zhuifeng followed the order and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Shen Nanzhi get up and return to the South Courtyard where Zhou Jinxuan was accommodated.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Lu Pianpian push the door open and said with a tired face: "Finally you woke up."

Shen Nanzhi had checked Zhou Jinxuan's pulse before. Although it was weak, it was not life-threatening. When Shen Nanzhi heard what Lu Pianpian said, he broke into a sweat.

Lu Pianpian explained, "The eldest prince's wife was already too weak, and she had a miscarriage before, and she hasn't recovered yet. Even if she didn't come into direct contact with the snake venom today, being entangled by the red snake at close range almost cost her half her life. Judging from her pulse alone, she's still alive, but her soul is almost gone."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi took a breath of cold air.

so serious.

Fortunately, Lu Pianpian was an excellent doctor and managed to bring Zhou Jinxuan back from the brink of death.

Otherwise, Shen Nanzhi would not be able to face the eldest prince.

"Pianpian, thank you!"

Shen Nanzhi gave Lu Pianpian a big hug and promised: "Thank you for your hard work today. If you want to eat anything, I will ask the kitchen to make it."

Hearing this, Lu Pianpian's eyes lit up: "Really? I want to eat candied pork elbow, reed chicken, roast duck, braised pork, etc. Is that ok?"

Seeing Shen Nanzhi nod, Lu Pianpian cheered and ran directly towards the Shen family's kitchen.

As she ran, she kept complaining: "Finally I can eat meat. I have been living a life of plain food these past few days!"

The Shen family has been going all out in their act. Because of Shen Changan's matter, almost everyone in the Shen family has been on a vegetarian diet for the past half month.

Even so, Lu Pianpian had only lived in the Xiao family for a few days and had just returned to the Shen family for two days, so it was not as miserable as she said.

Seeing her excited back, Shen Nanzhi and Liu Jingya looked at each other, both feeling a little amused.

Liu Jingya turned her head and glanced inside the room. "I'll go and keep an eye on her. She can't be too greedy. It's not good for her health. You can also talk to the eldest prince's wife for a while."

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Okay."

When Zhou Jinxuan just brought it over, Xiao Huaimin, who was busy and exhausted at the time, did not forget to give orders and asked several of Zhou Jinxuan's personal maids to come over as well.

As soon as Shen Nanzhi stepped in, the maids followed in with their heads lowered.

"Sister Zhou."

Zhou Jinxuan had just opened her eyes, her body was still a little weak, she seemed to have not come back to her senses yet, and she was still in shock. Only when she raised her eyes and saw Shen Nanzhi, she was stunned: "Shen's sister?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was actually very hoarse.

Shen Nanzhi sat down beside her bed, held Zhou Jinxuan's helpless hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Sister Zhou, it's okay, we are safe."

Zhou Jinxuan was so thin that he looked like he could be blown down by the wind. Even his fingers were bony and had distinct joints.

And the temperature in my palms was terribly cold.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

She let out a long breath, moved her body and tried to sit up. The maid beside her quickly handed her a soft pillow and let her sit on the edge of the bed.

From beginning to end, she held Shen Nanzhi's palm tightly.

She didn't ask about her own condition first, but asked immediately: "Are you hurt?"

Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "Don't worry, Sister Zhou, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Zhou Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought of the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She wanted to ask, but didn't dare to.

She fainted too early and had no idea what happened next.

In her last memory, Xiao Huaimin was taken by Xiao Shihua's men to meet the emperor, and had to take a snake pill that would kill him instantly.

When he thought of this, Zhou Jinxuan couldn't stop shaking all over.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi quickly said, "Don't worry, Sister Zhou, the eldest prince is fine, we are all fine."

Hearing this, Zhou Jinxuan was startled for a moment, and then she completely relaxed. However, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes could no longer be controlled and flowed down.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

She held Shen Nanzhi's hand tightly and choked up, "I thought we were all going to die there."

Shen Nanzhi took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and slowly told her what happened afterwards, which made her feel completely relieved.

After hearing the end, Zhou Jinxuan said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Shen... Thank you, I really, really don't know what to say!"

She raised her hand and dismissed the maids, then took Shen Nanzhi's hand and continued, "To be fair, I approached you at the beginning because I really wanted to help the eldest prince, not for that position, but because he has had a hard time these years... Father intends to make him a target, but he really wants the seventh prince. When Father gives that position to the seventh prince in the future, what will the eldest prince who was pushed to the forefront do? I'm afraid... That's why I want to stick with the Shen family."

At this point, Zhou Jinxuan took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then said, "But I can guarantee with my character that although I want Sister Shen and the Shen family to help me, I have never thought of using the Shen family. When I came to give Sister Shen the list to arrange a way out, it was all from the bottom of my heart."

Shen Nanzhi could naturally see this.

At that time, even the Shen family themselves could not guarantee that they could escape unscathed. Everyone avoided the Shen family like the plague, fearing that they would be contaminated by them in the slightest.

It is only natural for the Liu family to do that.

But Zhou Jinxuan came to her in person at that time and brought her the list that the queen left for the eldest prince to save his life.

Shen Nanzhi could see this sincerity clearly.

Moreover, this time through Xiao Shihua, Shen Nanzhi also gained a better understanding of the character of Xiao Huaimin and Zhou Jinxuan.

If Xiao Huaimin is the one who gets that position in the end, Shen Nanzhi will be relieved.

However, just as this thought came to his mind, he saw Zhou Jinxuan suddenly tighten his grip on Shen Nanzhi's hand.

She looked nervous but sincere at Shen Nanzhi: "Sister Shen, if your prince finally ascends to that position, will you treat the eldest prince well in the end?"

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, Zhou Jinxuan answered first: "I think so, because you are trustworthy and reliable."

Shen Nanzhi was stunned by these words. Before she could speak, Zhou Jinxuan continued, "To be honest, although we are brothers, my husband and I don't know much about your prince. We also know that his temperament is unpredictable according to rumors. But I once happened to see the way the prince looked at you, and I knew how much he cared about you, and he couldn't live without you."

"So, I believe that because of you, he will love you and treat us well."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi frowned: "Sister Zhou, what are you talking about?"

No one outside believed that Xiao Chuyun, who was crowned king early and was sickly and would not live long, had a chance to get that position. But now, the Crown Prince's wife, who was the most likely and even the most respected person for the Crown Prince who had no rivals all the way, said so. How could Shen Nanzhi not be surprised?

However, Zhou Jinxuan smiled brightly and said frankly: "I didn't lie to you. I said what was in my heart. His Highness may be able to sit in that position, but the person next to him is destined not to be me. Even for me, he would not..."

These words made Shen Nanzhi even more confused.

Before she could ask further questions, she heard a knock on the door.
