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

Xiao Qian'an's eyes were filled with concern and a bit of inquiry.

This made Shen Nanzhi feel vaguely uneasy.

Not wanting him to know that she had privately asked Xiao Chuyun to find a doctor, after all, it was not appropriate to make it public that she and her mother were poisoned, Shen Nanzhi said casually: "My mother asked me to get closer to Miss Tongwen San. I heard that she went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense. I was bored at home, so I thought of going to see this future aunt-in-law, but I didn't expect to meet the prince who was being hunted by an assassin on the way."

Xiao Qi'an looked Shen Nanzhi up and down and asked, "How is the injury?"

Shen Nanzhi lowered his eyes and said, "It's just some superficial injuries. It's nothing serious. Your Highness, don't worry about it."

Just at this moment, with the sound of explosions, countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky, brilliant and dazzling.

Pedestrians stopped to walk on the streets, children cheered, and the whole capital was filled with a festive and joyful atmosphere.

Shen Nanzhi didn't have any thoughts at all. She was exhausted both physically and mentally and just wanted to go home.

However, before leaving, Shen Nanzhi still looked up at Xiao Qian'an and said solemnly: "I am unworthy of your kindness. Your Highness, I only took what you said tonight as a joke and will not take it seriously. For the sake of our reputation, please do not mention such words again in the future."

She wanted to refuse clearly and not give Xiao Qian'an any chance.

Even if Jiang Yanran hadn't done that, Shen Nanzhi would never marry him in this life!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qian'an froze in place.

Under the bright lights, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to be filled with endless pain.

Shen Nanzhi sneered in his heart, he was really pretending!

It happened that Qiuyue came over at this time, and the person who came with Qiuyue was actually her cousin Shen Changan.

The first time she saw him, Shen Nanzhi was a little dazed.

He was dressed in a scarlet brocade robe and had a handsome face. He was particularly eye-catching as he walked on the long, dimly lit street. Even when standing next to people with outstanding looks like Xiao Chuyun and Xiao Qian'an, he was not outshined.

He had a smile on his face, and when the corners of his mouth were raised, his exposed little fangs looked a bit cool.

He is still the cynical boy in my memory.

The last time Shen Nanzhi saw him in the previous life was shortly after his uncle Qiu Wei got into trouble. Southern Xinjiang was on the verge of unrest and the border was unstable. His grandfather was old and seriously ill, and as the only male in the Shen family, Shen Changan was given the task at the critical moment.

The originally cynical boy grew up into a young general who could stand on his own overnight.

He led the former members of the Shen family to reorganize the Shen family army, which was invincible all the way. It took him less than half a year to conquer southern Xinjiang and resolve the crisis on the border.

When Shen Nanzhi was killed after being fed poison by Jiang Yanran, he was on his way back to the capital.

Shen Nanzhi also heard about what happened later from the tomb keeper. When Shen Changan returned to the capital, what awaited him was not praise and honor, but the inevitable death that the new emperor had already designed for him and the Shen family.

Shen Nanzhi didn't dare to imagine how her cousin felt when he was accused of treason and his head and body were separated in Caishikou.

The whole family is full of loyal heroes but they cannot escape the king's suspicion, and the young general's passion is chilled to the ground.

"Zhizhi!"

Shen Changan strode over, clasped his fists and saluted Xiao Chuyun and Xiao Qian'an from a distance, then looked at Shen Nanzhi and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about, girl? It's been a long time since we last met, and you're not happy to see your cousin?"

Shen Nanzhi instantly pulled herself out of her memories. She smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy, cousin. Long time no see."

It's been a long time indeed.

Shen Nanzhi felt a pang in her heart, and if she hadn't pinched her fingertips hard, tears would have welled up in her eyes.

Not wanting to let anyone notice anything, Shen Nanzhi bowed to Xiao Qian'an and Xiao Chuyun, then followed Shen Chang'an back.

She didn't look back, but she could feel two pairs of eyes on her.

Especially Xiao Qian'an's eyes made Shen Nanzhi feel a little uneasy, as if there was a thorn in his back.

But she still didn't look back.

At this time, Shen Changan took out a box of peach cakes from his sleeve like a magic trick: "Here, this is for you. I bought it from Babaozhai in the south of the city. I waited in a long line. Don't let my uncle see it, or he will say I am not doing my job properly."

The three of them were not much different in age, and they all grew up together in Jiangnan, so they had a very deep relationship. Uncle Shen Huaishu never acted like an elder in front of Shen Nanzhi, and always indulged Shen Nanzhi. But it was different with Shen Changan, as he had high hopes for him, so he was also extra strict with him.

But Shen Changan was a non-conformist. He had been doing cockfighting and horse riding since he was a child, and had been hanging out with playboys all day long. Every time he was caught by Shen Huaishu, he would be punished.

Compared to his grandfather, Shen Changan is more afraid of his uncle Shen Huaishu.

"I finally managed to escape from that shady place. Please let me live for two days."

Shen Changan sighed.

If Shen Nanzhi hadn't known that the shady place he was talking about was the Imperial Academy, where so many scholars had tried their best to get in, he would have taken it seriously.

She held a piece of peach cake in her hand, which had been protected in Shen Changan's palm through oil paper all the way, and it was still warm.

"Thank you, cousin."

The peach pastry was crispy and crunchy, and its sweetness went straight into Shen Nanzhi's heart.

Shen Changan tugged at Shen Nanzhi's sleeve and said flatteringly, "Good sister, I want to ask you for help with something."

The street was long and the light and shadow stretched the shadows of the two people very long.

Shen Nanzhi had already seen that he had something to ask for.

Since he was a child, whenever he got into trouble and needed Shen Nanzhi to intercede for him, he would buy things to please Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi gave Qiuyue a piece of peach cake, then turned to look at him: "Since you bought me the peach cake, tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"

Seeing her agree, Shen Changan smiled instantly: "It's not a big deal. Isn't Liu Jijiu's birthday coming up in two days? I will inevitably be entangled by the little girl from the Liu family. When the time comes, please help me to trip her up so that she won't bother me.

This Liu Jijiu was the father of Shen Nanzhi's third aunt Liu. His little granddaughter was named Liu Jingya, but in fact her name was not Jing at all, and had nothing to do with Wen Ya. Because he had a daughter in his later years, the Liu family spoiled her to no end.

But this girl just fell in love with Shen Changan, and whenever she saw Shen Changan, she would definitely pester him.

Even Shen Changan, who was known as the devil, couldn't do anything to her and could only stay away from her.

Because the Liu and Shen families are related by marriage, and Liu Jijiu also holds an important position in the Imperial College, Shen Changan cannot escape for both public and private reasons. He can only turn to Shen Nanzhi for help, hoping that she will rescue him when the time comes.

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "It's not that difficult, but, cousin, do you want to get rid of me with just these two pieces of peach cakes?"

Hearing this, Shen Changan patted his chest and promised, "What else do you want? Just ask. As long as you can help me hold her back and let me have peace of mind, I still want to live two more years."

It was originally a joke, but Shen Nanzhi felt quite uncomfortable hearing it.

She frowned and looked at Shen Changan: "Cousin, do you really not like Liu Jingya?"

Although Liu Jingya has a bad reputation in the outside world, Shen Nanzhi has a good impression of her.

Especially, in the previous life, the Shen family was overthrown, and everyone in the capital was in danger. No one dared to offend the new emperor. It was Liu Jingya who did not hesitate to sever ties with her family and collected the corpse for Shen Changan.
