Chapter 197: So ugly that it hurts my eyes
Facing Xiao Chuyun's affectionate eyes, Shen Nanzhi hesitated and said, "But your body..."
There was nothing else to worry about, she was just worried that Xiao Chuyun’s body couldn’t handle it.
No matter how curious he is, or how important the secret underneath is, it is not as important as his body.
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Chuyun's lips deepened a little.
He looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smile: "No problem."
As he spoke, he took out a pill from the sachet hanging on his body.
As he moved, Shen Nanzhi noticed that the sachet tied around his waist looked familiar.
Shen Nanzhi took another closer look and found that it was the one he had embroidered!
It was when she was forced by her mother to practice embroidery that she embroidered it for Xiao Chuyun on a whim.
However, Xiao Chuyun had to go to Yuzhou at that time and was in a hurry, so Shen Nanzhi didn't have time to finish embroidering and give him the handkerchief. She only gave him an embroidered plum blossom handkerchief. Later, after she went back and finished the remaining stitches, she kept it in the comb next to the dressing table.
Although it was originally embroidered for Xiao Chuyun, after it was finished, Shen Nanzhi looked left and right, but could not convince her aching eyes.
So even when he came back last time and they met again, Shen Nanzhi didn't remember this.
I never thought that Xiao Chuyun would take it on his own initiative, and he didn't even think it was ugly, and hung it around his waist openly.
As soon as Shen Nanzhi saw the poor needlework and the crane that looked like a bald chick, his eyelids twitched.
"Your Majesty... Why is this...this thing here with you?"
Shen Nanzhi simply couldn't bear to watch it.
Xiao Chuyun swallowed the pill naturally and said calmly: "Lu Pianpian said that this was embroidered for me by Miss Shen. Before I left this time, you were not feeling well, and I left without saying goodbye because I was afraid of disturbing you. I took this as a reminder."
After saying that, Xiao Chuyun's pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, "Didn't Miss Shen give it to me?"
Of course not. How could Shen Nanzhi give a sachet to any other man except Xiao Chuyun?
only……
Shen Nanzhi felt embarrassed when she thought of the elegant and graceful Xiao Chuyun, who had such an ugly sachet hanging around her waist, and who not only did not have the slightest intention of covering it up, but even deliberately exposed it for people to see.
Anyone with a discerning eye can guess who made it.
Shen Nanzhi subconsciously reached out her hand, wanting to take the sachet back, and explained: "The previous embroidery was too ugly, it really hurts the appearance, I will come back and embroider a good one for the prince."
If Shen Nanzhi had known that Xiao Chuyun would wear it around his waist, she would have practiced it well no matter what.
However, Shen Nanzhi's hand had only reached halfway, and before he could touch the corner of the sachet, he saw Xiao Chuyun quickly raised his hand to protect it, and said very preciously: "This is very good, you don't have to torture yourself anymore."
As he spoke, his eyes seemed to casually sweep across Shen Nanzhi's fingertips.
Shen Nanzhi instantly recalled the fear she felt when she was dominated by the embroidery needle. She also recalled the pain of the needle tip piercing her fingertips, as if the pain was instantly spreading to her fingertips again.
Shen Nanzhi shuddered and instantly gave up her plan to practice embroidery and embroider another sachet.
Never mind...it's ugly...it's just a little ugly.
Moreover, Xiao Chuyun is not afraid of being embarrassed, so what is she afraid of? Why should she torture herself again?
Shen Nanzhi finally figured it out.
Xiao Chuyun had already packed up. He took Shen Nanzhi's hand and stood up, saying, "Let's go. Let's hurry up."
Shen Nanzhi estimated that what he had just taken was a pill that could temporarily suppress the cold poison in his body and adjust his internal breath. At this moment, the coldness emanating from his body was no longer so obvious.
only……
Lu Pianpian said that this type of medicine can only suppress the effect for a short period of time, and the better the effect, the longer the suppression time. After the effect of the medicine wears off, the pain caused by the backlash will be greater.
Obviously this was such an important matter, but Xiao Chuyun acted as if nothing had happened and didn't even mention it to her, fearing that she would worry.
Shen Nanzhi didn't know what to say, so she just held his fingertips in return.
Xiao Chuyun smiled, called Xiao Yunzi who was waiting outside, and after giving him a few simple instructions, Xiao Chuyun took Shen Nanzhi out of the window of the back hall of Chaohua Palace, climbed over the eaves and walls, took shortcuts, and arrived outside Yuquan Palace in less than a cup of tea.
The sun was setting and it would soon be time to lock the palace gates.
However, too many things happened today, both inside and outside the palace. I am afraid that Emperor Shunqing is still summoning court officials in the Imperial Study and there is no curfew.
Moreover, Xiao Chuyun was ordered to go to Chaohua Palace. He had difficulty walking, so even if he stayed a little longer and missed the time to leave the palace, it was understandable and no one would suspect anything.
With Xiao Chuyun, Shen Nanzhi once again stood in the courtyard of Yuquan Palace through a side door. Looking at the overgrown scene inside, he raised his hand and pointed to an inconspicuous path covered by weeds under the corner of the wall.
It was not yet time for dinner, so he should not encounter the eunuch named Xizi head-on. But to be on the safe side, Shen Nanzhi tried not to make any sound and communicated with Xiao Chuyun using gestures.
Shen Nanzhi stood at the foot of the wall and carefully observed the path. There was a row of tiny, deliberately hidden footprints underneath, just like when she came here last time.
Moreover, judging from the traces, it has been some time. It should be that Xizi left in the morning and never came back.
There is still some distance from here to the eaves of the corridor. Without the help of external force, even Shen Nanzhi would find it difficult to rush over in one breath. If he loses his strength in the middle, whether he steps on the yard or pushes against the wall for strength, it will inevitably leave traces.
Afraid that Xizi would find out, Shen Nanzhi could see that the man was also very meticulous.
When Shen Nanzhi followed before, it was because Xizi had left footprints. She carefully stepped on the traces left by Xizi to cover her whereabouts.
When she, Liu Jingya and her third aunt left the palace, it drizzled for a while. Although it only lasted for a while and the rain was not heavy, it had already wet the path below. The path soaked by the rain looked extremely slippery. No matter how careful you were, the slightest movement would leave traces.
With Xiao Chuyun's lightness skills and internal strength, he was able to rush over easily. Shen Nanzhi didn't want to hold him back, so she took a deep breath and was about to hold her breath and leap over with all her strength, but her waist suddenly sank.
Xiao Chuyun, who was originally following behind her, grabbed her waist and brought her into his arms. Before Shen Nanzhi could react, Xiao Chuyun had already lifted her up with his arms, and in a breath, he landed steadily under the thick cattails under the eaves.
During the entire process, Xiao Chuyun was so relaxed that it could even be described as strolling in the garden.
Shen Nanzhi always knew that he was very strong and a one-in-a-million genius in martial arts. Even though she never dared to underestimate Xiao Chuyun, the fact was that every time Xiao Chuyun could refresh her view, making her feel that she had underestimated his strength again.
Shen Nanzhi is not a person who underestimates himself.
Before she met Xiao Chuyun, she had always been regarded as having good talent, but this talent seemed to be far inferior to Xiao Chuyun.
Shen Nanzhi felt rarely frustrated.
But the next moment, perhaps seeing what she was thinking, Xiao Chuyun, who had just stood firm, suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear: "My princess is also very powerful, but there are too many people and things that the princess pays attention to. It's not like when I was a child, I had no choice but to practice."
Shen Nanzhi didn't pay attention to the fact that they hadn't gotten married yet. He called her "Princess" very smoothly. She didn't notice the sour taste in his words. She only paid attention to the last sentence... When he was a child...
Xiao Chuyun once told her that his childhood was a dark secret room, where his father would suddenly get drunk and beat him up at any time...
He never had a normal childhood, and the only thing he could do was to practice on his own.
His little hands and feet were rubbed bloody by the black iron curtain, and without a master to guide him, he was unable to grasp the tricks like a martial arts beginner. Only he knew the bitterness and hardship involved.
Shen Nanzhi had been wondering before why Xiao Chuyun had such strong internal strength, especially the stones he threw casually, which were more powerful than the heavy arrows shot from a giant crossbow. After hearing his experience, Shen Nanzhi had the answer in his mind.
Trapped in a dark secret room, his movements were restricted. The only thing he could do was to exercise by throwing the gravel and dirt he dug out from the wall with his bare hands.
This was the only thing he could do and the only entertainment he had to get through the endless darkness and loneliness.
Day after day, year after year.
Shen Nanzhi was still being punished by her grandfather for putting a caterpillar into the bowl of Xie Changyuan, who was bubbling with snot, but Xiao Chuyun had already become more focused and obsessed than ordinary people.
Yes, paranoia.
Being able to do that for Shen Nanzhi in the previous life, what else could that be but paranoia?
Although the two brothers Xiao Qian'an and Xiao Shihua were equally paranoid, unlike them, Xiao Chuyun had never done anything to hurt her from beginning to end, and even put her first in everything.
What made Shen Nanzhi feel fortunate was that he gave her this unique obsession and attachment, and she also fell in love with him.
Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi took the initiative to reach out and hold Xiao Chuyun's hand. Facing his starry eyes, Shen Nanzhi mouthed silently: "I will be with you for the rest of your life."
Seeing this, the stars in Xiao Chuyun's eyes seemed to brighten a little.
He wrapped his broad palm around Shen Nanzhi's hand and nodded seriously.
Shen Nanzhi smiled, then let go of his hand and gestured to him to follow her carefully.
After getting Xiao Chuyun's response, Shen Nanzhi pointed his toes, used his lightness skills to climb onto the eaves, then followed the eaves all the way to the main hall, then did a head-hang, turned over and jumped down easily, grabbed the door frame of the hall, then used the force to push the door and swung his body in. Shen Nanzhi's feet finally landed on the cushion at the door of the hall.
There was already a lot of mud on the cushion, and as time went by, it was so dirty that it was no longer recognizable. There was no need to cover it up. Moreover, along the way, except for the lush cattail roots under the eaves where they stepped on, they did not leave any traces anywhere else. Even the marks under the cattail roots were covered up by Xiao Chuyun before he left.
Shen Nanzhi stood firm first, and waited for Xiao Chuyun to follow in before she raised her hand and closed the door.
After making sure that there was no unusual movement around, Shen Nanzhi raised his hand and pointed at the beam above his head, and whispered to Xiao Chuyun what he saw and heard on the roof last time.
At the end, Shen Nanzhi frowned and said, "I was alone at the time, and I didn't know what secrets were hidden underneath, so I didn't dare to act rashly. I didn't even see how Xizi opened the mechanism, but I can be sure that his feet did not leave the cushion at the time."
She didn't even hear the sound of Xizi's footsteps at that time.
Therefore, the mechanism must be right next to them.
In Shen Nanzhi's opinion, mechanical engineering is more complicated and troublesome than the account books that the accountant takes inventory of at the end of the year.
She had no interest in this at all.
But Xiao Chuyun is different, he seems to be proficient in this.
The Seven Star Killing Formation that Shen Nanzhi almost trapped to death at the Hot Spring Villa was created by Xiao Chuyun when he was a teenager. However, the formation diagram was later taken by the Queen Mother's people, who made some changes and used it in the Hot Spring Villa.
Although he never mentioned it, Shen Nanzhi guessed that it was after he replaced Xiao Chuyun and entered the palace. Although the cold palace was much better than the dark secret room, it was still cold and lonely. It was at that time that he learned it from the talented man under his command who was proficient in mechanical engineering.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Xiao Chuyun carefully observed everything around him.
Finally, his eyes fell on the mat at their feet.
To prevent any accidents, he pulled Shen Nanzhi aside and then kicked the mat away with his foot.
The floor underneath was smooth jade-green bricks, which, except for being clean, looked exactly like the other dusty tiles in the room. There was nothing special about them.
But there is a futon on it, so even if there is no dust, there is nothing unreasonable.
As a layman in mechanical engineering, Shen Nanzhi had not yet figured out the clues when he saw Xiao Chuyun squatting down and raising his hand to knock on the green jade brick.
dong dong dong.
solid.
But that day Shen Nanzhi clearly saw that the ground in front of the cushion sank, revealing a stone staircase extending downwards.
If the next door is empty, this area will also be affected and the sound when knocked will be different.
She was about to speak, but saw Xiao Chuyun suddenly turn his head and look at the threshold behind them.
He was half-squatting, with one hand pressing on the door sill, and with the other hand, as before, he seemed to subconsciously protect Shen Nanzhi behind him.
The more sophisticated and complex the mechanism, the more likely it is to contain a deadly trap.
Shen Nanzhi didn't see clearly how Xiao Chuyun's fingers rested on the door sill, he only heard a dull click, and the bluestone floor in front of them suddenly rumbled away to both sides, exactly the same as what Shen Nanzhi saw that day.
The secret passage was successfully opened!
Xiao Chuyun, who had originally insisted on coming over to take a look and had not taken this secret passage seriously at first, saw the dark secret passage that stretched from top to bottom and could not be seen at a glance. Xiao Chuyun could not help but said seriously: "I'll go down and take a look. You wait for me outside."
However, having come this far, Shen Nanzhi couldn't let him take the risk alone. If there really was some terrible beast hiding down there, or if he accidentally touched some life-threatening mechanism, one more person would mean more help.
Although her lightness skill and internal strength are not as good as his, who is Xiao Chuyun? He is the god of war of Da Qi. If you change the reference, with Shen Nanzhi's current skills, even if she encounters danger, few people can stop her if she wants to escape.
And the most important thing is that she doesn't want to experience that kind of heart-burning waiting again.
So Shen Nanzhi shook his head and said without hesitation: "I will go with you. I have sprinkled tracking incense all the way outside the palace. If we don't come out for a long time, our people will track us down. Besides, there can't be a more absurd and shocking secret hidden in here than the hot spring villa, right?"
Seeing her insistence, Xiao Chuyun stood up, gently took her hand, and smiled softly, "Okay, let's go and take a look together."
After saying that, perhaps fearing that Shen Nanzhi would get nervous, he added: "Don't be afraid, this mechanism shouldn't have any hidden weapons."
