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

For a moment, Shen Nanzhi almost thought that he had misheard.

She frowned and looked at Xiao Chuyun.

Xiao Chuyun was also looking at her with his eyes lowered.

His expression was as calm and calm as usual, with one hand slightly clenched into a fist at his side and the other hand behind his back. He stood tall and slender, like a jade tree and a fragrant orchid.

There was a hint of anticipation in those eyes, and even a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

However, even though he was half a step away from Shen Nanzhi, Shen Nanzhi could even smell the faint herbal fragrance on him.

"Your Majesty."

Shen Nanzhi didn't know why, but when he heard those words, he felt as if someone was clutching his chest.

She quickly suppressed her worries and said calmly, "Are you making fun of me, Your Majesty?"

If Xiao Chuyun smiled, the topic would have been over.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyun lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Nanzhi, and asked instead of answering: "Miss Shen, do you think I'm joking?"

There was no sign of joking in his tone or expression.

So, what he said is true!

The moment he realized this, Shen Nanzhi felt his heart skip a beat.

Xiao Chuyun...why would he want to marry her?

Perhaps Shen Nanzhi's expression was too unexpected, or perhaps she had been silent for too long. Xiao Chuyun, who was always calm and composed, thought that she was unwilling. He, who was swift and resolute in the army and remained unmoved by anything, actually felt a little panic and uneasiness.

Especially when facing a pair of bright eyes like Shen Nanzhi's, although Xiao Chuyun was able to keep a calm expression as usual, but from the angle that Shen Nanzhi couldn't see, the fingertips behind his back had already turned white, and he was even shaking uncontrollably.

It was only a split second, but it made him feel as if each day was a year long.

Xiao Chuyun's Adam's apple rolled, and he turned his head away unnaturally, saying word by word: "I am rude, Miss Shen, just take it as a joke."

No one knew that this sentence took all his self-control.

Shen Nanzhi just saw that his expression was normal, and thought he was just saying it casually, so her heart, which had been tense, finally calmed down a little.

But thinking that he was not joking when he said those two words just now, Shen Nanzhi thought about it and asked, "Does the prince want to help me?"

After all, he had helped her several times, and even gave her the pills he used to suppress the cold poison. When he saw that she was being pressed step by step by Xiao Qian'an and had no choice but to marry Xiao Qian'an, he stepped forward. It was not surprising to Shen Nanzhi.

But why?

Shen Nanzhi felt that there would be no one in this world who would be nice to another person who was not related to him or her for no reason and without expecting anything in return.

Everything has cause and effect.

She hadn't figured it out in her previous life, and Xiao Chuyun treated her better in this life, which made her even more confused.

Xiao Chuyun looked back at her, smiling, and said gently, "Yes, it is to help Miss Shen and myself."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi was suddenly stunned.

How would it help him if he married her?

Shen Nanzhi thought about it and decided not to.

Not only will it not be of much help, but it will also pose many hidden dangers.

Even when she was planning to marry Xie Changyuan, the dog emperor was so shocked that he hastily issued an edict to grant the marriage. However, Xiao Chuyun was the true King of Zhenbei, with at least 300,000 elite soldiers under his command.

Although he is in Kyoto, he has absolute control over the northern border.

Although the emperor valued him, it was because of his poor health and his lack of chance to become the crown prince. In addition, the emperor valued his ability, but he had no support from his maternal family and no interest exchanges or involvements with the various aristocratic families. He was a lone minister and the most useful knife.

But if this "knife" develops other thoughts, or even openly disobeys the emperor's will, then his advantage in front of the emperor will turn into a disadvantage, and all that will be left is increased suspicion and jealousy.

Even in the previous life, Shen Nanzhi was married to Xiao Qian'an, the emperor's favorite and the man he intended to make the crown prince. Later, he might have been involved in the conspiracy against the Shen family.

Marry Xiao Chuyun?

Shen Nanzhi didn't dare to think about it, nor could he think about it.

Xiao Chuyun obviously knew the pros and cons of this better than she did.

That's why Shen Nanzhi was so surprised when he heard him say those two sentences.

Shen Nanzhi moved her lips and was about to speak, but Xiao Chuyun smiled and explained patiently, "If Miss Shen is worried about me, there is no need. Lu Pianpian may not have told Miss Shen that all those who have been infected with the cold poison will not live more than five years at most."

At this point, the corners of his mouth raised with a smile that seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm. He paused before saying, "So, Father is very confident in me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi felt a chill all over his body and stood stiffly on the spot.

Just because of Xiao Chuyun's words, and the chronic illness in his leg left over from delayed treatment, a bold guess suddenly popped up in Shen Nanzhi's mind.

Although he knew that there were secret guards and Qiuyue guarding outside the courtyard and that no one would hear him, Shen Nanzhi still subconsciously looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he moved a little closer to Xiao Chuyun.

Her eyes fell on Xiao Chuyun's legs, and she lowered her voice and asked, "What the prince means is... it's all... the emperor..."

Xiao Chuyun's voice was very light, but Shen Nanzhi still heard the chill in his words: "Yes."

He was totally open with her about such a secret matter without any guard at all.

But the deep meaning behind these words made Shen Nanzhi's heart ache suddenly.

She had thought about the cold poison in Xiao Chuyun's body and the leg disease caused by delay, but she never expected that it was all the emperor's instruction.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could that dog emperor have the heart to do this to Xiao Chuyun!

It is obvious that he is extremely wise and brave, and has made unprecedented contributions to the Great Qi.

If Xiao Chuyun had not turned the tide, the Northern Barbarians' cavalry would have already crushed Da Qi, and it would be hard to say whether the dog emperor would have been beheaded or become a slave of the Northern Barbarians.

How could he be so cruel and heartless!

When the Shen and Xie families were wary of him, Shen Nanzhi already felt that he was narrow-minded while wearing the mask of a benevolent monarch. Now he even feels that calling him a dog emperor is a compliment to him!

Compared to Shen Nanzhi's indignation, Xiao Chuyun's expression remained gentle and calm.

It was as if the person who was plotted and murdered had nothing to do with him, he was just an outsider.

He even smiled and looked at Shen Nanzhi: "Father thought I was still in the dark. He felt that I would not survive these three years anyway, so he was more assured in using me than others."

Although he said it with a smile, that smile also hurt Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

"Your Majesty..."

Shen Nanzhi wanted to say something to comfort him, but didn't know where to start.

And those who can't live more than three years...

Shen Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and even her voice was unconsciously choked with sobs: "Even Doctor Lu can't do anything?"

Xiao Chuyun just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Shen. Since everyone says that I was born unlucky and will bring disaster to my family for thousands of years, I won't die that easily."

Although it was a self-deprecating remark, it made Shen Nanzhi feel uncomfortable.

However, it seems that it is not impossible for her to marry Xiao Chuyun.

The Dog Emperor was sure that he would not live long, so he was not so suspicious and wary of him. Moreover, if her marriage was settled, it would make Xie Changyuan give up, saving the Dog Emperor from worrying.

This is a good thing for Shen Nanzhi.

But she still had concerns.

Shen Nanzhi raised his eyes to look at Xiao Chuyun, and said with some concern: "But, His Highness the Seventh Prince is not the kind of person who will give up easily."

She was afraid that Xiao Qian'an would do something bad to Xiao Chuyun.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyun asked Shen Nanzhi: "Is Miss Shen afraid?"

She was not afraid. In the worst case scenario, the worst that could happen was that she would die together with Xiao Qian'an.

If she doesn't get better, Xiao Qian'an will never survive in this life!

Shen Nanzhi shook his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuyun chuckled: "I'm not afraid either."

He was born extremely handsome, and this smile seemed to make the world a little brighter.

Somehow, Shen Nanzhi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she subconsciously asked, "But this is all in my favor. What did the prince mean by helping yourself just now?"

Xiao Chuyun lowered his eyes to look at her, his brows full of patience and tenderness. He turned his head away, avoiding Shen Nanzhi's gaze, and then slowly said, "To be honest, I have seen Miss Shen's 'overpowering' appearance outside the Jiang Mansion before. Miss Shen also knows me. At that time, I was thinking that if I were to be made difficult or embarrassed by others, it would be great if Miss Shen could stand up for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi's old face turned red.

It was talking about how she acted aggressively when she went in front of Zhao and Jiang Yanran and asked them to spit out her mother's things.

He really saw it at that time.

How can this be considered as defeating everyone else? Shen Nanzhi was simply ashamed.

However, the dignified King of Zhenbei didn't need her protection. Shen Nanzhi couldn't believe it: "Is what the prince wants so simple?"

Xiao Chuyun turned to look at her with a sincere look in his eyes: "You are just a dying person who wants to find a little comfort."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but feel an indescribable bitterness in his heart when he thought of his experiences.

His father doesn't love him, his mother is not around, and the little time he has left will be used by the dog emperor to pave the way for his other sons.

"Your Majesty..."

Shen Nanzhi frowned and looked at Xiao Chuyun, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

It was Xiao Chuyun who looked at her and said slowly, "Ms. Shen also knows the rumors about me. Plus, my sickly body... I am not a good match for her. She obviously has better options. I am taking advantage of her. It is understandable that she is unwilling. I will also do my best to help her avoid marriage with my seventh brother and will not embarrass her again."

As he said this, he nodded at Shen Nanzhi and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi took a step forward uncontrollably.

She knew about the rumors that Xiao Chuyun mentioned.

It is said that not only was he disabled in his legs, making it difficult for him to walk, but he also suffered severe injuries to a vital part of his body, making him unable to move. Therefore, ever since he was crowned king, even though he was a handsome and unparalleled genius, no noble lady in the capital was willing to marry him.

Shen Nanzhi thought that it didn't matter if they couldn't have sex as husband and wife. There was no difficulty from his mother-in-law, no concubines competing for his favor, his body and mind were clean, and his house was quiet. Such a life was not bad at all.

Not only did he treat her gently and politely, he also saved her from danger several times, and was kind to her in both past and present lives.

It’s not that you can’t get married.

The most important thing is that after marrying him, she can completely get rid of Xiao Qian'an's entanglement, and she will have more confidence in protecting the Shen family.

As Shen Nanzhi was thinking, he saw Xiao Chuyun suddenly stagger and almost lose his balance.

Shen Nanzhi suddenly woke up. He had a cold attack, but he still insisted on standing with her for so long as if nothing had happened.

Shen Nanzhi's heart softened, and her steps and the hand she stretched out to support were almost faster than her brain.

By the time she reacted, her hands had already firmly supported Xiao Chuyun's arms and supported his lower back.

This move was completely beyond Shen Nanzhi's expectations, and even Xiao Chuyun was a little surprised.

Both of their bodies froze.

Even through the cloth, Shen Nanzhi's palms and fingertips felt like they were touching ice.

What kind of torment is Xiao Chuyun going through? !

Originally Shen Nanzhi still had a little hesitation, but now, in a rush of excitement, under the surprised gaze of Xiao Chuyun, Shen Nanzhi simply gritted her teeth and nodded, "Prince, I will marry you!"

Shen Nanzhi was stunned when she said this, but she was not a shy person. Since she had already made a decision according to her heart, Shen Nanzhi simply said, "But let me make it clear first. I have a bad temper. I can neither stand being wronged nor suffer in silence. Moreover, I even have a side that is worse than the one Your Majesty has seen... I can even be considered cruel and ruthless."

Xiao Chuyun is still unaware of the mess in the Jiang family and the treatment of Zhao Wan and others. Shen Nanzhi is not sure whether Xiao Chuyun will regret choosing her after knowing all this.

She has to say the ugly words first.

But what Shen Nanzhi didn't expect was that, just as she started talking and before she could continue, her fingertips that were originally holding Xiao Chuyun's hands were held by him instead.

It was clearly a cold and delicate touch, but it made Shen Nanzhi's ears burn.

Because she had just stepped forward to support him in a hurry, the distance between them was very close, and the herbal aroma lingering around Shen Nanzhi became a little stronger.

Xiao Chuyun lowered his eyes to look at her, and Shen Nanzhi saw her own clear reflection in his ink-black pupils.

I also heard his gentle but firm promise.

"With me, Miss Shen can always be herself. There is no need to pretend, worry, or have any concerns."

At that moment, Xiao Chuyun's eyes seemed to be filled with flames and scorching heat, soothing Shen Nanzhi's heart.

She had a little concern at first, but it disappeared now. She couldn't help but curl her lips and smile: "This is what the prince said himself."

Xiao Chuyun nodded: "Of course, I will never regret it."

After he finished speaking, his fingertips suddenly turned, and the next moment, something appeared in Shen Nanzhi's palm.

Before she had time to take a closer look at what it was, she heard Mo Yi's hurried voice outside the courtyard: "Master, the emperor summons you to the palace immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi's whole body stiffened and his hands and feet became cold.

Thinking that today's marriage with the Xie family had been set up by the dog emperor, and at this critical juncture, Xiao Chuyun was summoned to the palace.

Although there is no necessary connection between the two, there are precedents, and the Dog Emperor's heart is still with Xiao Qian'an, so Shen Nanzhi can't help but worry.

However, the next moment, her cold palm was suddenly grasped by someone. Shen Nanzhi raised her eyes subconsciously and saw Xiao Chuyun looking at her with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
