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

But Xiao Chuyun still looked at her with a smile, and greeted her gently as if nothing had happened: "Miss Shen."

Shen Nanzhi felt even more guilty, she didn't even dare to look into Xiao Chuyun's ink-black eyes.

She subconsciously glanced at Gu Wantang who was lying limp on the ground.

Xiao Chuyun followed her gaze, as if afraid that she would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained: "I have nothing to do with her. It was only because of her father's request that I asked someone to find medicine for her. However, after realizing that she had evil intentions, I didn't even let her into the palace. I don't know why she suddenly ran to Miss Shen today and went crazy."

These words were spoken without any mercy, and even had a hint of sharpness.

Gu Wantang was already pale with fright, and she immediately kowtowed and explained, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Wantang only heard some rumors about Miss Shen, and was afraid that Your Majesty would be deceived by her, so she wanted Your Majesty to see her true face. Your Majesty..."

Before she could finish, Xiao Chuyun gave her a look, and Gu Wantang was so scared that she dared not say another word. She kowtowed several times to Shen Nanzhi, and then was supported by others and left crying.

As soon as Gu Wantang left, Shen Nanzhi felt the situation became even more awkward.

Before she could figure out how to break this awkward situation, she heard Xiao Chuyun say in a gentle voice, "No matter what the reason or consideration, it is my luck to be chosen by Miss Shen in the end. I am happy with it. Miss Shen does not need to mind it."

These words...

Shen Nanzhi couldn't answer the call.

She didn't even have to explain, Xiao Chuyun had already smoothed things over for her.

This made Shen Nanzhi, who was already feeling guilty, feel a little guilty.

Although she knew that the fault was not hers, when she saw Xiao Chuyun lowering himself so much, she was suddenly overwhelmed by guilt.

"Your Majesty."

Shen Nanzhi wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Gu Wantang's words were intended to sow discord between Xiao Chuyun and her. Although it was fanning the flames, it was not wrong.

She was indeed planning to marry Xie Changyuan, but she couldn't do it, so she had no choice but to choose Xiao Chuyun.

But when these words are spoken openly, it is somewhat embarrassing.

Even Shen Nanzhi herself felt embarrassed and awkward, not to mention Xiao Chuyun, who was seen as a second choice by outsiders.

But not only did he admit it frankly, he also tried his best to protect Shen Nanzhi's face, even at the cost of putting himself in a humble position.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi felt even more guilty.

Liu Jingya on the side was also completely stunned. She bravely looked at Xiao Chuyun, as if to confirm whether the man in front of her was the legendary and prestigious King of Zhenbei. Liu Jingya could not believe her eyes and ears.

She thought of the instructions of her father and grandfather, and what she had heard from them about the King of Zhenbei. She was so shocked that she even forgot the etiquette and rules.

Until a clear voice sounded downstairs: "The show hasn't even started yet, why is there no room upstairs?"

The moment she heard the voice, Liu Jingya regained her senses. She didn't even care about Xiao Chuyun and turned her head to look downstairs.

Shen Nanzhi was also a little surprised. Why did her cousin Chang'an, who was supposed to be studying at the Imperial College, come to the Liyuan to listen to music?

She subconsciously turned her head to look downstairs, and sure enough, she saw her cousin Chang'an and a few of his friends arguing with the waiter.

There were still plenty of empty seats upstairs, but because Liu Jingya didn't want to be disturbed by outsiders, when she brought Shen Nanzhi upstairs, she directly told the waiter to book the remaining seats. Unexpectedly, she stopped Shen Changan.

Seeing that it was him, Liu Jingya's face lit up with joy. She immediately leaned out and waved, "Cousin Changan! What a coincidence!"

Liu Jingya was about to ask the waiter to let Shen Changan up, but when Shen Changan saw her, he turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Liu Jingya subconsciously turned her head to look at Shen Nanzhi, then glanced at Xiao Chuyun who was standing next to Shen Nanzhi. Between staying with Shen Nanzhi or chasing Shen Changan, she chose the latter without any hesitation.

After all, staying here seemed to be an eyesore to both of them.

"Sister Zhizhi, I'm going to go see cousin Changan!"

Liu Jingya smiled awkwardly: "I feel relieved that the prince is here to accompany you."

As she spoke, she hurriedly bowed to Xiao Chuyun, then lifted her skirt and chased after Shen Changan. She looked so anxious, as if she was afraid that if she was a little late, Shen Changan would be snatched away by someone else.

Shen Nanzhi didn't even have time to stop it.

But if I think about it carefully, most likely my cousin Changan is just skipping school to hang out, so it shouldn't be anything serious.

As soon as she looked away, she realized that Xiao Chuyun was looking at her.

After being interrupted by Liu Jingya, Shen Nanzhi's previous embarrassment faded a little, but she was still a little embarrassed.

She turned her head to avoid Xiao Chuyun's gaze and asked casually, "How is your health, my Lord? Are you here to listen to music today as well?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Shen Nanzhi wanted to bite off his tongue.

Her original intention was to show concern for Xiao Chuyun. After all, he had been suffering from the cold poison two days ago. But putting it all together, it seemed more like she was "raising an army to hold him accountable."

Besides, what else could one do here besides leaning on the balcony and listening to music? Wasn't she asking this question even though she already knew the answer?

Shen Nanzhi turned to look at Xiao Chuyun, and was about to make excuses for herself, but she heard Xiao Chuyun say seriously: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Shen. I am much better now. As for the purpose of coming here..."

At this point, Xiao Chuyun paused, turned his head to look at the stage that had been prepared, and said with a frown, "It's for official business."

Shen Nanzhi was a little surprised.

Xiao Chuyun walked closer to Shen Nanzhi and lowered his voice, "The key to the Jiangbei corruption case lies with the Minister of Revenue Gao Xun. Although we know that he is Lao Er's subordinate, there is no direct evidence of his dealings with Lao Er in the Jiangbei corruption case. Lao Er refuses to admit it, and Gao Xun takes all the blame. The most we can do is cut off one of his arms. It is not easy to convict Lao Er."

Shen Nanzhi had thought of this before, but what does it have to do with this place?

As if seeing the confusion in her eyes, Xiao Chuyun raised his hand and pointed at the group of actors who were already dressed up and ready to go on stage behind the stage. "According to a wire report, Gao Xun's only son Gao Jingwen is hiding in this theater, and he should have evidence of Gao Xun's close relationship with the second son to protect his life."

After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi understood.

With the fall of Minister of Revenue Gao Xun, all members of the Gao family were thrown into prison, but Gao Xun's son Gao Jingwen disappeared.

Regardless of whether Gao Jingwen has those evidences or not, as long as Gao Jingwen is caught, it is equivalent to grasping Gao Xun's weakness, and there is no need to worry about Gao Xun not confessing.

However, not only the Dali Temple is keeping an eye on Gao Jingwen, the Second Prince's men are certainly keeping a close eye on him as well. It is obviously not easy to find him and capture him successfully.

No wonder Xiao Chuyun is sitting here in person.

Shen Nanzhi suddenly realized: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

Shen Nanzhi knew that he had an injury on his leg and couldn't stand for long, so she was about to ask him to sit down, but she heard Xiao Chuyun smile and said, "I just want to finish the case as soon as possible, so that I can prepare for our wedding."

So, that's why you don't care about your own body and want to do it yourself?

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi finally reacted. Unconsciously, the distance between them was very close. He leaned over slightly to talk to her, and she turned her head and almost touched his shoulder.

At that moment, Shen Nanzhi even felt that the fragrance of grass and trees surrounding her body became stronger.

Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to move away and keep some distance, but the corner of her eye inadvertently swept across a figure wearing a navy blue gown among the spectators downstairs.

Shen Nanzhi was startled: "Qing Yi!"

She couldn't help but pull Xiao Chuyun's sleeve and said nervously, "He was the one who kidnapped me to Mingyue Tower last night and locked the door afterwards!"

Judging from his performance at that time, he was definitely not the man of Princess Jiahe, Lin Lanyin.

In addition, he suddenly appeared in the theater among the crowd, so how could Shen Nanzhi not be nervous.

After saying that, she was about to go downstairs to follow him, but Xiao Chuyun grabbed her wrist.

His palms were not as icy cold as when the cold poison attacked, nor were they as hot as they were when his body was stretched to its limit in the past two days.

However, the scorching temperature still burned Shen Nanzhi enough to shock her.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Xiao Chuyun's gentle eyebrows and eyes: "Don't take risks, let Mo Yi go."

After saying that, he bent his fingers and knocked on the door frame twice. Mo Yi, who had been hiding next door and didn't dare to come out and get in the way, then flashed in front of Xiao Chuyun.

Xiao Chuyun raised his hand and pointed at the Qingyi who was looking at the stage: "Check this person, don't alert the enemy yet."

"Yes."

Mo Yi took the order and disappeared in a flash.

And just at this moment, the woman in blue, as if she had sensed something, suddenly turned her head and looked towards the private room upstairs where Shen Nanzhi was.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun reacted very quickly. They pulled down the bamboo curtain and took half a step back almost at the same time.

Such tacit understanding made Shen Nanzhi stunned.

One of her wrists was still held in Xiao Chuyun's hand. Because of the pulling, she was almost forced to lean half in Xiao Chuyun's arms. The distance between them was so close that Shen Nanzhi could even feel his hot breath on her neck.

The herbal fragrance became stronger.

Shen Nanzhi's heart was beating like thunder.

She moved her wrists but couldn't break free.

She guessed that Xiao Chuyun had forgotten because of the emergency. She didn't want to remind him deliberately, so she lowered her eyes and let him pull her.

After waiting for two breaths, Shen Nanzhi quietly lifted a corner of the bamboo curtain and looked downstairs.

But there was no trace of the person in blue downstairs.

I don’t know whether Mo Yi caught up with Qingyi when he rushed down just now. Just as I was thinking about it, at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the stairs.

Shen Nanzhi also immediately became nervous. She looked up at Xiao Chuyun and was about to ask him with her eyes, but Xiao Chuyun suddenly grabbed her by the waist and held her in his arms. Then he turned over neatly and jumped onto the beam on the roof with her.

Shen Nanzhi only felt dizzy, and when she opened her eyes again, Xiao Chuyun was already holding her and leaning against the beam.

That position was just enough to hide the figures of the two people.

Just as they hid, the person at the stairs had already reached the bamboo curtain and pulled it open.

But from their angle, they could only see the empty private room. Even if they looked up, they couldn't see Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun hiding on the beams unless they looked at the right angle.

There were two people coming.

One of them was Qingyi, and the other was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face.

The middle-aged man frowned: "Where are the people?"

Qing Yi lowered his head and said, "Maybe I saw it wrongly. I only saw it for a moment, but I vaguely felt that there was someone here."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "I see you are also startled. The people upstairs have all left one after another, and those who wanted to go upstairs were stopped by the waiter. How could there be anyone? Last time you did a bad job and made the master unhappy. If you mess up the job this time, you know the consequences."

Qingyi bowed and said, "It is my fault. Please rest assured, my master. I will find a chance to escort Master Gao out of the city in the next two days."

The middle-aged man nodded and whispered, "Did you find those things?"

Seeing Qing Yi shaking his head, the middle-aged man said in a cold voice: "The Gao family doesn't have many days left to live anyway. The master said that if we really can't find that thing, there's no need to keep this person. If he dies, naturally no one will be able to find those things."

"Yes."

Qing Yi quickly agreed.

Suddenly, a gong sounded, and the show downstairs began. The middle-aged man also turned his attention to the stage.

The two men didn't speak again, which made things difficult for Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun who were trapped on the beams.

Because the beams of the house were narrow, in order to avoid exposing any flaws, Shen Nanzhi was almost trapped in Xiao Chuyun's arms.

Her head was forced to rest on his collarbone, and Shen Nanzhi's forehead even had to rest on his throat.

Shen Nanzhi could not only feel the heat and ups and downs of Xiao Chuyun's chest, but she could even feel the rolling of his Adam's apple against his forehead.

In her two lifetimes, this was the first time she had such an intimate behavior with a man other than herself.

Shen Nanzhi's face turned red and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

But she couldn't move at all and didn't dare to act rashly.

Even I had to hold my breath.

But the two people below seemed to be really watching a play, their attention was focused on the stage, and they had no intention of leaving at all.

But it’s hard for Shen Nanzhi.

Seeing that the actors below had already started singing, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, Shen Nanzhi, who was about to pass out, finally let out a breath.

But before she could finish her breath, her sleeves suddenly fell from her wrists!

Shen Nanzhi secretly hated herself for not checking the almanac before going out today, and for wearing a wide-sleeved gauze skirt.

Once the sleeves are raised, even if the people below are blind, they will notice it!

Seeing that the long gauze sleeves were about to appear from the beam, Shen Nanzhi was about to raise her hand to grab them, but Xiao Chuyun was one step faster than her. He lifted her sleeve and wrist up with one hand and hugged her tighter.

The sleeves were hidden and the person was not exposed.

Shen Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, but suddenly felt her chest burning. Then she realized... Just at that moment, Xiao Chuyun had to hold her up in a hurry in order to hide his sleeves behind the beam... Shen Nanzhi was struck by lightning.

Xiao Chuyun seemed to have realized it as well. He, who was usually calm and reserved, froze all over. Even his hands, which he had no choice but to protect Shen Nanzhi's chest, froze for a moment.

At that moment, she clearly felt her chest tighten, and at the same time, the Adam's apple pressed against her forehead rolled.

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

It was the first time that she was treated so frivolously.

But the other party did it unintentionally, so Shen Nanzhi couldn't get angry, annoyed, or blame others.

Can't even move!
