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

Shen Nanzhi felt that this shouldn't be the case.

But when I think about people like Xiao Chuyun, they may not care about this empty prosperity.

He seemed to not care about the rumors or judgments, praises or slanders from the outside world. The Xiao Chuyun that Shen Nanzhi saw was always so calm and composed.

It is said that his mother was originally a senior maid serving in the palace of the late queen. Unlike those princes who had aristocratic family backgrounds to rely on, Xiao Chuyun only had himself.

This is probably one of the reasons why the emperor handed over the Dali Temple to him.

Although he was highly regarded by the emperor, this made him offend all the powerful people in the capital and pushed him into the position of a lone minister.

Other princes may be favored by the emperor or have a good family background and may still be able to compete for the position of crown prince, but he is just a knife in the emperor's hand.

"Zhizhi?"

Perhaps Shen Nanzhi was too absorbed in her thoughts and did not notice that she had already entered the Liu residence with her two aunts.

The person welcoming the guests at the door was Liu Bozhao, the grandson of Liu Jijiu, who was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing.

After greeting his two aunts and cousin, Liu Bozhao turned to look at Shen Nanzhi: "This must be cousin Zhizhi, right? Aya was always talking about her before, and she's finally here."

Shen Nanzhi was distracted just now, and it was only when her aunt reminded her that she realized the identity of the person in front of her and immediately greeted him: "Hello, cousin Bo Zhao."

After a few pleasantries, Liu Bozhao invited them into his mansion.

The two aunts took Shen Nanzhi and Shen Changan to pay a visit to Old Madam Liu. Old Madam Liu pulled them together to talk with several other ladies, while Shen Nanzhi and Shen Changan were sent to visit the garden with a group of younger generations.

Shen Changan is a man who can't sit still. For him, coming here to go through the motions and greet the elders is enough, and his mission is accomplished.

He was about to grease his feet when he suddenly heard a somewhat affected voice: "Cousin Changan..."

At the end of the corridor, a playful young woman wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt and a flying bun came over with her skirt lifted.

There was a large group of maids and old women following behind her. She wanted to come over eagerly, but she also wanted to pay attention to her image in front of her lover, so she had to slow down her pace and walk towards this side in an awkward posture.

The person who came was Liu Jingya, whom Shen Changan avoided like the most vicious snakes and scorpions.

Just hearing that sound, Shen Changan got goosebumps all over his body.

He subconsciously tugged at Shen Nanzhi's sleeve and said in a serious tone, "Zhizhi, we have agreed in advance that you must help me hold her back!"

Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Before she could respond, Shen Changan had already turned around and ran away.

"Cousin Changan!"

Liu Jingya couldn't pretend to be a lady any longer. She ran over quickly, complaining as she walked: "It's all your fault. You insisted on making a bun that would make cousin Changan's eyes light up. Now everyone has left!"

Seeing that Shen Changan had turned around and ran out of the garden, Liu Jingya was so angry that she wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Shen Nanzhi.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"

Liu Jingya frowned and spoke in an unhappy tone, but she changed her mind and asked, "I just saw you standing with cousin Changan. Could it be that you are the girl from the Shen family?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled: "Yes."

After being stopped by Shen Nanzhi, Shen Changan had already run away for who knows how far, and it was not easy for Liu Jingya to chase him.

She simply let down her skirt and looked Shen Nanzhi up and down. Because she was a member of the Shen family, her tone was inevitably softer. However, thinking of Shen Nanzhi's obstruction, her attitude was still not good: "I heard that you just came of age. I am fifteen this year. You have to call me sister."

Shen Nanzhi followed suit and stepped forward to greet him: "Sister Jingya."

She was so easy to talk to that Liu Jingya felt a little embarrassed. She had heard of Shen Nanzhi before and knew that she was treated like a treasure by the Shen family. She was probably just like her at home, a little spoiled and unbridled.

But now seeing Shen Nanzhi being like a soft bun and being treated coldly by her, but she was still able to greet him with a smile, Liu Jingya felt a little rude.

But what Liu Jingya didn't know was that she was different from others in front of Shen Nanzhi.

In her previous life, she was willing to give up all the glory that the Liu family had given her, and even broke with the Liu family in order to collect Shen Changan's body.

The Shen family is born with the pride of preferring to die in glory rather than live in disgrace.

When the imperial edict to confiscate the family's property and investigate the case was issued, it was announced that all male members of the family would be executed and the female members would be forced into the music register and become official prostitutes.

Without waiting for the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to be broken down, my aunt and all the female family members committed suicide in the ancestral hall. Finally, she set fire to the entire ancestral hall and burned it down to ashes, leaving no corpse behind.

Only Shen Changan's head and body were separated and his body was left exposed in Caishikou.

It was Liu Jingya who risked angering the new emperor and being left without a burial place, and used her petite body to personally carry his remains all the way out of the city for burial.

She is the benefactor of the Shen family.

In this life, Shen Nanzhi must protect her well.

She was a kind person, just a little bit aggressive. What's more, she had no ill will towards Shen Nanzhi, so Shen Nanzhi would never bother with her.

"Sister Jingya, it's not okay for you to run after your cousin like this."

Shen Nanzhi reminded softly: "You know, my cousin is a rebellious person. The more you restrain him and chase him, the further he will run."

Liu Jingya thought about it and nodded, "What you said makes sense, but if I don't chase him, I'm afraid I won't see him anymore. So what should I do now?"

Shen Nanzhi didn't know either, after all, she had never tried to win a man's heart.

"Can he escape from the monk or the temple?" Shen Nanzhi pulled Liu Jingya and said, "Next time my cousin is on vacation at home, I will invite Sister Jingya to stay in my yard. We will leave him alone for now and just treat him as someone who is here to play with me."

This way, she can make her presence felt in front of Shen Changan without making him feel disgusted. Maybe Shen Changan will even change his mind because of Liu Jingya's sudden "coldness"?

Anyway, compared to Liu Jingya's approach of chasing after Shen Changan but being rejected by him, Shen Nanzhi felt that his method was more feasible.

Liu Jingya thought about it and decided, "Okay, I'll have to ask Cousin Zhizhi to help me more in the future."

At this moment, she found Shen Nanzhi more and more pleasing to the eye, and called her cousin in a particularly affectionate manner.

"It's boring here. I'll take you to the South Courtyard. The golden carp my brother asked someone to bring back a few days ago is now in the pond. It looks really nice."

Liu Jingya took Shen Nanzhi all the way through the nine-turn corridor and went to the South Courtyard.

There is a pond in the yard, with many koi in it, including the golden carp that Liu Jingya mentioned.

When they passed by, there were already quite a few girls leaning against the waterside pavilion feeding the fish.

Seeing Liu Jingya coming, everyone came forward to greet her, and Liu Jingya generously introduced Shen Nanzhi to everyone.

A group of little girls were chattering and talking about interesting things in their boudoirs. It was a lively and leisurely atmosphere that Shen Nanzhi had not experienced for a long time.

After two lifetimes, although her age is about the same as theirs, because she has experienced so much, Shen Nanzhi's character has long been like a stagnant pool of water. She is not at all as happy and cheerful as these young girls.

However, Shen Nanzhi did not object to being with them and listening to their chatter, because this made her feel clearly that she was still alive.

The group of people were talking excitedly, but suddenly they heard an anxious voice: "Ms. Liu, my young lady is missing."

As soon as the words fell, the laughter stopped instantly. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin little maid standing by the waterside, facing the wind, and bowing to everyone tremblingly.

Liu Jingya said casually: "There are several gardens here. Maybe the place is too big. If your young lady goes astray, what else can happen in our Liu family?"

As she spoke, she sent a few people to follow the little maid to look for someone.

No one took it seriously, after all, what Liu Jingya said made sense.

Only Shen Nanzhi felt nervous when she saw the little maid.

If she remembered correctly, it was the little girl she saw on the third floor of Wanbao Tower that night, the personal maid of the third lady of the Wen family.

It's her again.

If it was someone else, maybe there would be no problem, but when he thought about the last time Wen Lanyuan got into trouble, Shen Nanzhi already had a bad feeling in his heart.

But in front of so many people, and with Wen Lanyuan's reputation at stake, Shen Nanzhi couldn't say anything, so she just said to Liu Jingya, "Sister Jingya, I'll go take a look too. Anyway, I have nothing to do here."

Shen Nanzhi was about to follow, but Liu Jingya grabbed her sleeve and said, "Then I'll go with you."

After that, she turned around and told the other girls: "You guys go have fun first, I'll come find you later."

Shen Nanzhi thought that with Liu Jingya, the host, leading the way, it would be easier to find people, so he didn't say much.

The two followed the maid all the way to a rockery, and heard the maid crying, "The young lady said she was a little cold, and asked me to go back to the carriage to get a cloak. I just walked out of the yard and heard the young lady's scream. I felt something was wrong, so I turned back to look for her, but I couldn't find her."

This courtyard is not big, and the only place to hide is the rockery in front of you.

If it is true as the little maid said, I am afraid that Miss Wen San has encountered trouble again!

It seems that the last time she was kidnapped in Wanbao Tower was not an accident, but the mastermind behind it has not been found out. This time, while she was attending a banquet at the Liu family, someone plotted against her again!

Liu Jingya, who was originally smiling, could no longer smile at this time.

"I'll ask more people to look for it!"

As she was about to turn around, Shen Nanzhi stopped her, "Don't make it public yet. If too many people know about it, even if Miss Wen San is fine, her reputation will be damaged. Let's look for someone nearby first."

Since it just happened, the person shouldn't be able to walk far.

Moreover, unlike the last time at Wanbao Tower, this time it was at the Liu family. There were many guests at the Liu Mansion today, and it was obviously impossible to take a living person away without anyone noticing.

What Shen Nanzhi was worried about was that the other party's purpose was not to kidnap her, but to destroy her.

Time is running out right now, so I can't care less.

The rockery in front of him was quite large, occupying almost half of the garden, and there were forked paths inside. After saying this, Shen Nanzhi dived into the rockery.

But after searching all the way, we didn't find any trace at all.

Shen Nanzhi's heart also sank to the bottom.

She was wondering where that person would take the person, when she suddenly heard a faint cry for help from the end of the rockery.

Shen Nanzhi hurried over quickly, but before he got close, he saw a black shadow flashing away.

At the same time, Wen Lanyuan leaned weakly against the rockery, one hand still tightly grasping the hairpin, the other end of the hairpin against her neck.

Perhaps she pushed too hard, the hairpin had pierced the skin on her neck and blood was flowing out.

"Miss Wen San! Are you okay?"

Shen Nanzhi hugged her and snatched the hairpin from her hand.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep and only caused some superficial injuries, but her condition was obviously not right. She felt limp all over and didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Even if Shen Nanzhi was not a doctor, he could tell that she was most likely poisoned by something like Softening Muscle Powder.

Thanks to her strong temper, she has been able to hold on until now and not let anyone succeed.

but……

Since the person behind the scenes planned this for her, he must have another trick up his sleeve.

Shen Nanzhi held her body and said to Liu Jingya and the others who followed closely behind: "Sister Jingya, I'm afraid someone will come here soon. Take her and hide first, and don't make any noise."

This concerns Wen Lanyuan's innocence, so Liu Jingya knows how serious the matter is.

"Don't worry." Liu Jingya took Wen Lanyuan from Shen Nanzhi and asked puzzledly, "What about you?"

Shen Nanzhi did not answer. He just frowned as he looked at the shadow that had just passed by the wall and said, "I'll go after it."

After leaving these words, Shen Nanzhi did not delay any longer. He turned over and jumped onto the top of the rockery, following the direction in which the man in black fled.

There are so many people in the front yard today, and it is heavily guarded, so the thief will have no chance to escape and can only find an opportunity in the backyard.

Liu Jingya looked at the direction Shen Nanzhi was chasing and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Ah? That's the territory of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion over there!"

But at this moment Shen Nanzhi had already chased far away and could no longer hear anything.

She only knew from the man's body movements that his kung fu skills should not be very high, and his lightness skills were not as good as hers.

As long as you work harder, you will definitely catch up.

Wen Lanyuan has been in trouble twice. If the person behind it cannot be found out this time, Shen Nanzhi has no doubt that there will be a next time, and the next time.

Thinking of his uncle's depressed look in his previous life, Shen Nanzhi did not dare to slack off at all and chased after him with all his strength.

With the experience of using Qinggong to track the past in Wanbao Tower last time, and the fact that he had asked Lu Pianpian to diagnose his pulse these days, Shen Nanzhi felt that it was just a little Qinggong and should not be a big deal.

At worst, she'll have to get a few more injections later.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the man climb over a wall and fall into a small courtyard. Shen Nanzhi hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up.

But she never expected that as soon as she stepped on the ground, she suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in her face.

An arrow with a fierce murderous aura instantly approached her face.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi reacted quickly. She somersaulted and managed to avoid the attack.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but be shocked. She had chased him all the way and seen the black-clothed man's body movements and strength, and knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to shoot such a sharp and deadly arrow.

Could it be that the man was hiding his incompetence and deliberately lured her here to kill him?

Before she could think about it, the second arrow came flying through the air.
