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

The only thing that Shen Nanzhi couldn't let go was the matter of forbidden techniques.

Shen Nanzhi was holding the string of Buddhist beads in a trance.

She was too busy before and had no time to take care of it. Now that everything has settled, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Shen Nanzhi thought that she still had to go to Xiangguo Temple in person.

Master Huikong came from Xiangguo Temple. If he comes back, he will most likely go to his hometown, Xiangguo Temple.

Moreover, there is this string of Buddhist beads. Others cannot see anything special about it, but Shen Nanzhi feels inexplicably familiar with it.

When she had people looking for Master Huikong's whereabouts these days, she also collected many books about Buddhist taboos and asked many monks. However, those monks kept silent about it. She didn't know whether it was because they were not well-trained or they were afraid of breaking Buddhist taboos.

Shen Nanzhi did see a few sentences describing the forbidden technique of reversing time and space in a book that was so old that the original handwriting was almost unrecognizable. The content was almost the same as what Xiao Qian'an had said.

The only difference is that Xiao Chuyun, as the sacrificer, when Master Huikong performed the forbidden technique and used his soul as a guide to reverse time and space, allowing Shen Nanzhi to be reborn, Xiao Chuyun's soul, as the guide, would not immediately be shattered as Xiao Qian'an said. The soul that was first sacrificed to activate the forbidden technique to break through time and space would be reborn in this time and space just like her.

But it was only temporary. Her soul came back intact, but the remaining soul of the sacrificer was affected by the backlash of the forbidden technique and would soon disintegrate. And with the disintegration of that remaining soul, Xiao Chuyun's original soul would also be affected in this space and time. This is what Xiao Qian'an said about the soul being scattered and not having a good end.

This statement is consistent with Shen Nanzhi's previous speculation that Xiao Chuyun was preparing for a rainy day by sowing discord between Ye Kunshan and Lin Hongrui and transferring Ye Kunshan away from the Shen family's old house.

As the "introduction", Xiao Chuyun was reborn into this time and space before her and Xiao Qian'an, so everything makes sense.

Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that after trying every possible means to find evidence to prove that Xiao Qian'an was lying, she would end up with such a result.

She was naturally unwilling to give up, and became more determined to find Master Huikong.

Even if those are true, since the remnant soul of Xiao Chuyun from his previous life is still there, is there any way to protect that remnant soul and keep Xiao Chuyun safe?

When she thought of this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't wait to see Xiao Chuyun.

She had never felt such a strong desire to talk to him. She wanted to explain everything to him and get everything clear from him.

Fortunately, the crisis in the north has been resolved and Xiao Chuyun will be able to return soon.

Shen Nanzhi was wondering whether to go to Xiangguo Temple by himself, as he could hardly sit still, or wait for Xiao Chuyun to come back and go together.

But the butler delivered the message at this time.

Princess Jiahe, Lin Lanyin, was clamoring to find her.

The Princess's Mansion has been under siege for some time. Although the people inside cannot get out, everyone in the Mansion is well provided with good food and drink.

Since Lin Lanyin returned from Shen Nanzhi's place, she has been staying obediently in the Princess's Mansion, accompanying the Princess. The mother and daughter live very peacefully, and nothing has happened.

But that's just what it looks like on the surface.

Lin Lanyin had someone bring a message to Shen Nanzhi that the eldest princess had been haunted by nightmares recently and her spirit was getting worse day by day. She and her daughter were ordered to stay in the eldest princess's mansion and were not allowed to go out. Lin Lanyin sent someone to ask Shen Nanzhi for help. She had previously heard from Xiao Qian'an that there was a very powerful monk living in seclusion at the foot of Lingyin Mountain where Xiangguo Temple was located. She wanted to find the monk on behalf of her mother to ask for a talisman to ward off evil spirits and avoid filth.

Although their positions were different, Lin Lanyin was indeed innocent, and she had been nice to Shen Nanzhi before. It was reasonable for Shen Nanzhi to refuse.

What's more, it is about Xiangguo Temple and the eminent monks.

Before this, Shen Nanzhi's men had searched Xiangguo Temple and its surrounding areas, but could not find the whereabouts of the monk.

Lin Lanyin knew about this, and she got the information from Xiao Qian'an. It was hard not to think too much about it.

It just so happened that Shen Nanzhi was also going to Xiangguo Temple. Thinking of what Lin Lanyin had said to her before, Shen Nanzhi agreed.

However, after all, Lin Lanyin was still under house arrest, and even Shen Nanzhi could not openly disobey the imperial edict.

She asked Mo Yun to greet the guards of the Princess's Mansion, and quietly released Lin Lanyin through a side door on the pretext of accompanying her to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and brought her all the way to Shen Nanzhi's carriage parked on the corner of the street.

"Shen Nan..."

As soon as they met, Lin Lanyin, who was originally in doubt, was delighted and was about to call Shen Nanzhi's name as she did in the past. But she immediately realized Shen Nanzhi's current identity and quickly changed her words to "Crown Princess."

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Princess Jiahe."

She originally wanted to say something, but thinking of the different positions between her and Lin Lanyin, Shen Nanzhi had to give up the idea.

Lin Lanyin also fell silent.

The last time they rode together, Shen Nanzhi was just a noble lady from a high-class family, while she was the more distinguished Princess Jiahe. Now their identities are very different.

Although she is still the Princess of Jiahe, it is just a title, and Shen Nanzhi has become someone she looks up to.

She no longer had any of her former arrogance and swagger. She sat obediently in a corner of the carriage, occasionally looking up and glancing quickly at Shen Nanzhi.

And so, the two of them walked along in silence.

When they were almost at the foot of Lingyin Mountain, Lin Lanyin was obviously a little nervous.

From time to time, she lifted the curtain to look at the situation outside, then looked at Shen Nanzhi, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Ah Si, who was driving in front, turned back and asked for directions: "Princess, please look, where is the monk living in seclusion? Which way should he go?"

Lin Lanyin raised her eyes to look at Shen Nanzhi, hesitated for a moment before saying: "I... I can't remember clearly, and the weather is not good today... How about we go back first..."

Perhaps because she was nervous, her hands were tightly clutching her sleeves, and her expression was obviously not right.

Shen Nanzhi just looked at her gently. Even though she said she wanted to go back, Shen Nanzhi did not refute. She could only nod and said, "Okay."

Having said that, Shen Nanzhi was about to order Ah Si to turn around.

However, just as she finished speaking, seeing that Ah Si was really planning to turn back, Lin Lanyin's face flashed with a trace of struggle. Finally, she blushed and gritted her teeth and said, "No, walk a little further, maybe I will remember it."

Until this moment, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, and her eyes, which had been hesitant and evasive, became firm.

Shen Nanzhi seemed unaware and just told Ah Si to keep going forward.

This time, Lin Lanyin was much smarter. She opened the curtain and directed Ah Si to cross the official road and get on the path in the forest, heading all the way to the deepest part.

In this way, after going around many twists and turns on the mountain road, they finally arrived at a valley on the back mountain of Lingyin Mountain.

This place was just as Lin Lanyin had described. There were several purple bamboo houses. There were two circles of fences in front of the purple bamboo houses, with some unknown small flowers and green vegetables planted in them. It looked full of vitality and indeed looked like a place where a master lived in seclusion.

Lin Lanyin pulled the curtain and turned to explain to Shen Nanzhi: "You know, I have been pestering my seventh cousin before, and I followed him here once. I can't be wrong, but..."

But she didn't continue.

Because Shen Nanzhi has already seen it.

As their carriage stopped, the ground beneath their feet suddenly became loose, and the fence that had been standing still suddenly seemed to come alive, enclosing Shen Nanzhi and the others as well as the entrance to the col.

Shen Nanzhi picked up a waist pillow from the carriage and threw it over. Several hidden weapons instantly shot out from the bamboo fence, and before the waist pillow could fall to the ground, it had been shot into a sieve.

The seemingly small fence turned into a huge killing array in a short period of time, trapping Shen Nanzhi and his companion A Si, as well as Lin Lanyin, who had squatted down and cried bitterly with her head in her hands after seeing this scene.

"I'm sorry... Shen Nanzhi... I'm sorry... I have no choice..."

Not caring whether hidden weapons would suddenly appear on the ground, Lin Lanyin burst into tears.

Shen Nanzhi turned his head and looked around. This place was backed by the back mountain of Lingyin Mountain, with cliffs on both sides and only a passage at the entrance of the valley.

It is indeed a good place for an ambush and assassination.

Looking at Lin Lanyin squatting on the ground and blaming herself, Shen Nanzhi took a break and said, "Did Xiao Qi'an contact the princess and ask you to lure me here in this way? They are at the end of their rope and want to use me to control the Crown Prince of Zhenbei... or even use my life to make the eldest prince and his men lose their minds, so that Xiao Qi'an can take advantage of the situation?"

Although it was a question, Shen Nanzhi used an affirmative tone.

Hearing this, Lin Lanyin was startled. She didn't even dare to look up at Shen Nanzhi's eyes. She just choked up and said, "I'm sorry..."

If possible, she would never plot against Shen Nanzhi, but on one side are her mother and seventh cousin, and on the other side is Shen Nanzhi.

She really had no choice.

My seventh cousin escaped death and brought back news about my grandmother.

Lin Lanyin, who had always been well protected by her mother and others, finally realized that her grandmother went to the palace to recuperate due to poor health not voluntarily, but was injured by Xiao Chuyun. She had a deadly grudge against the Shen family and Xiao Chuyun. Now her life was hanging by a thread in the palace, and she was still waiting for the court to send the best doctor to save her.

But she was originally injured by Xiao Chuyun. If Xiao Chuyun became the crown prince, there would be no way for her to survive.

Not only her grandmother, but also her seventh cousin would have a chance to survive if she, her mother and she, the Princess's Mansion, won.

The palace is now heavily guarded, and no one outside can see the emperor. A'niang said that although she didn't know what had happened to her uncle the emperor, something must have happened in the palace, and even if her seventh cousin went back now, he would be committing suicide.

They could only find another way to break the impasse, and the key to their solution lay in Shen Nanzhi.

When her mother told her all this, she felt completely bewildered.

This was the first time since she was a child that Lin Lanyin hated the identity she had always been proud of.

She had no choice.

"Sorry……"

Although Shen Nanzhi seemed cold and distant to her and always kept his distance from her, he did save her life. And whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, he protected her several times. When her parents were in trouble and the Princess's Mansion was besieged, her world was falling apart, everyone was laughing at her and laughing at her. It was Shen Nanzhi who enlightened her and taught her to cheer up and go her own way.

Thinking about it now, her promise to Shen Nanzhi that she would protect him and truly regard him as a friend was simply naive and ridiculous.

Lin Lanyin blamed herself and felt ashamed, but she couldn't say anything else except sorry.

However, compared to her grief, Shen Nanzhi was much more relaxed. She said, "It's nothing. It's human nature to be unable to give up family ties. Since you have made your choice, you can just throw away the things you have given up."

She knew early on that she and the forces behind Lin Lanyin were in a hostile position, so she never dared to invest too much emotion in Lin Lanyin.

Although she did admire Lin Lanyin before, Shen Nanzhi was also moved by Lin Lanyin's protection of her.

But that's about it.

Shen Nanzhi has been very sober the whole time.

And she also gave Lin Lanyin a chance.

If Lin Lanyin regretted it halfway, no matter she chose to turn around or confess to Shen Nanzhi, as long as she chose Shen Nanzhi, Shen Nanzhi would definitely distinguish her from Xiao Qian'an from the Princess's Mansion.

After this matter is over, Shen Nanzhi will definitely not treat her unfairly or wrong her.

But unfortunately, Lin Lanyin finally chose the eldest princess and Xiao Qian'an.

Since you have already taken a hostile stance towards Shen Nanzhi, there is nothing more to say.

No matter how many tears she shed, it could not change the fact that she knew the consequences, but still tricked Shen Nanzhi here and plotted against Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi took a step back, avoiding Lin Lanyin's hand that was trying to pull her sleeve.

However, just as she stopped, the fence surrounding them suddenly changed several times.

Although no hidden weapon was shot at Shen Nanzhi, the range in which she and Asi could move was further narrowed.

At this time, the door of the Purple Bamboo House not far from them was opened from the inside out.

A man in a green shirt walked out of the purple bamboo house.

His legs were a little lame and he walked unsteadily, but he had a strong aura and a murderous and cold air that could make people feel cold even from a distance.

Even though he had covered most of his face with a black cloth, Shen Nanzhi could still recognize him at a glance from the pair of eyes that were exposed: Xiao Qian'an.

He is not dead after all!

Shen Nanzhi said, good people don’t live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years.

How could Xiao Qian'an die so easily at the hands of Zhou Zhengyong!

No wonder she didn't feel much of a stir when she heard the news of Xiao Qian'an's death, and even felt uneasy about it.

Her intuition turned out to be right!

This bastard is really not dead!

However, looking at his appearance, although he did not die, he must have experienced a life worse than death after escaping from the Zhou family.

However, after not seeing each other for just over a month, he had become lame, the backs of his exposed hands were covered with scars, and he had lost a lot of weight. If it weren't for his powerful aura and the pair of eyes that Shen Nanzhi would never forget until his death, Shen Nanzhi would not have been able to recognize him.

Seeing him, Shen Nanzhi felt surprisingly calm.

Xiao Qian'an was as arrogant and stern as ever, except that there was a hint of sinisterness in his cold eyes.

He took a few steps and stood still before looking up at Shen Nanzhi. He said with the same cold smile in his voice, "Long time no see, Zhizhi."

After calling out "Zhizhi", he suddenly laughed at himself and changed his words: "Oh, by the way, should I call you Princess Zhenbei now, or Crown Princess?"

Shen Nanzhi stood there, looking at Xiao Qian'an coldly, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Seventh Prince, but let me correct you, you should call me Third Sister-in-law now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the coldness in Xiao Qian'an's eyes became even more intense.
