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

When Shen Nanzhi said goodbye to Liu Jingya at the gate of Liu's house, she felt that someone was following her secretly. Her intuition was very accurate. Although she did not see the person's figure, there should be someone around.

She had been paying attention all the way until she actually saw a black shadow flash by.

I became more and more certain that it was not my illusion.

However, the man didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and although it was just a glance, his figure looked familiar to Shen Nanzhi.

It's called tracking, but it feels more like escorting.

We are just out for a cruise on the pleasure boat tonight, and the people we will meet should be young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families. Logically, there shouldn't be any danger. Besides, the more people there are, the more difficult it will be for the secret guards to use their fists, and it will be inconvenient to bring them along.

So the secret guards around Shen Nanzhi were all assigned tasks by her, so it couldn't be them.

Who would that be?

On the carriage on the way back home, Shen Nanzhi was thinking about it.

Seeing the bright moon outside through the gap in the carriage curtain, Shen Nanzhi suddenly remembered something she had overlooked before.

——Looking at the entire Kyoto, there should be no one who knows the movements of the Northern Barbarians better than Xiao Chuyun.

Even the Second Prince's people knew that the envoys from the Northern Barbarians would soon enter the capital, so Xiao Chuyun should know more.

And he knew that Shen Nanzhi would go to the pleasure boat in the west of the city tonight. Judging from Shen Nanzhi's inexplicable trust in him, he would not remain indifferent to her being in danger.

So when he returned to the gate of the mansion and just got off the carriage and saw the black shadow flashing by, Shen Nanzhi wondered if it was Xiao Chuyun's man.

really.

As the black shadow walked out from under the crabapple branches, Mo Yi's familiar face fell into Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

However, his entire body was wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi, he quickly greeted her: "Miss Shen."

Shen Nanzhi nodded, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Didn't Brother Mo Yi go to track down the man in green? It seems that the matter has been settled?"

Mo Yi quickly shook his head: "It's just that we have some clues, so I dare not speak rashly. Miss Shen's side is more important. I have already handed it over to other brothers to follow up."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled and praised: "Brother Mo Yi is very skilled."

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Not only are there guards in the open, but there are also experts guarding the courtyard secretly. The fact that Mo Yi was able to easily avoid the layers of security and follow her all the way to the courtyard was enough to show that this person's Qinggong skills were amazing.

Hearing this, Mo Yi lowered his head in shame.

He didn't expect to be discovered by Shen Nanzhi so soon. Mo Yi was a little embarrassed. Afraid that Shen Nanzhi would think too much, he quickly bowed and explained: "The Northern Barbarian envoys came to the capital. My master was afraid that Miss Shen was not safe, so he sent me to protect her secretly. I didn't even have time to inform Miss Shen on the way here. Miss Shen is really amazing."

He wasn't bragging, he had never failed in his skill of hiding his body and tracking people, but he never expected that Shen Nanzhi would still notice him.

Coupled with what he had seen from Shen Nanzhi's performance before, Mo Yi was secretly shocked.

Otherwise, how could it be said that the prince of his family was worrying unnecessarily? The girl from the Shen family was so powerful that she could beat two of him at once. Why did she still need his protection?

However, Mo Yi only thought about this in his mind and did not dare to express it openly.

Shen Nanzhi frowned and said with a bit of displeasure in his tone: "So, you watched Sister Jingya being kidnapped before?"

Hearing this, Mo Yi's legs almost went weak and he was about to kneel down.

"Miss Shen, I know your mistake. I only received the news when she was about to slip onto the pleasure boat. I was a step too late. I saw Miss Shen boarding the pleasure boat controlled by the Northern Barbarians. I could only jump into the water and swim all the way over. By the time I arrived, Miss Shen had already been dealt with."

As he said this, as if afraid that Shen Nanzhi wouldn't believe him, Mo Yi twisted his sleeves, and sure enough, water came out.

Of course Shen Nanzhi knew that she said this just because she remembered that he had dared to tease her on the beam before, and she deliberately scared him like this.

Because when she sneaked onto the pleasure boat, there was indeed no one following her. It was only after she got off the ferry that she vaguely felt that someone was following her.

Seeing Mo Yi's panic-stricken look, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I was just joking with you, why are you so nervous? When you were eavesdropping on the beam and planning to gossip with your brothers, why weren't you so cautious?"

Hearing this, Mo Yi blurted out: "How did Miss Shen know that I was going to gossip with my brothers?"

That was what he was thinking at the time, but he didn't say it out loud.

But as soon as he said this, Mo Yi felt very upset. Wasn't this tantamount to admitting it in disguise?

It was too late for Mo Yi to regret.

The girl from the Shen family was a vengeful person, and she would take revenge for any slight. He had to take note of it in a little notebook. He didn't know how his prince's life would be like in the future, but he knew that he would not dare to act funny anymore.

Mo Yi quickly bowed his hands and admitted his mistake: "It was me who didn't take the seriousness of the matter lightly. Don't worry, Miss Shen, I promise not to spread the news about Miss Shen and the prince in the future."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "Don't tell anyone inside, not even Mo Yun!"

Seeing his serious look, Shen Nanzhi smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a joke, Brother Mo Yi, don't be nervous."

Mo Yi thought to himself, he didn't want to be nervous, but let's not talk about him. His master would have to make a living under this young lady in the future. How could he not be nervous?

Mo Yi was lost in thought when he saw Shen Nanzhi had turned around and gone to the small kitchen. Soon she came out with a food box.

She handed the food box to Mo Yi: "Your Highness has to worry about the case in the Dali Temple and keep a close eye on the movements of the Northern Barbarians recently. I think it must be very hard. The apricot and pear cake made by my chef tastes great. You can bring it back for Your Highness to try."

Apricot and pear cakes not only taste good, but also clear heat and moisten the lungs. Shen Nanzhi had specifically asked Lu Pianpian before, and this is very suitable for Xiao Chuyun.

Mo Yi hurriedly and carefully took it and was about to bow and leave, but was stopped by Shen Nanzhi.

"Wait a minute."

When Mo Yi turned around, he saw that Shen Nanzhi had a big oil-paper bag in her hand.

"Brother Mo Yi has been working hard recently, especially tonight. I'm sorry for making you suffer. These are for Brother Mo Yi as a midnight snack. I hope you don't mind."

Mo Yi was stunned.

How could he possibly dislike it? How could he deserve the same treatment as his own master and even get pastries from Miss Shen?

The oil paper bag in my hand was still hot.

Mo Yi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen, for not looking down on me. I'm really hungry!"

Even though Mo Yi is smart, he can see that Shen Nanzhi is clearly giving Shen Nanzhi a hard time.

But he was happy to.

At least I was given a date.

This considerate Miss Shen is much better than the master who orders them around and treats them like cattle and horses.

He likes this mistress very much!

***

At that time, Xiao Chuyun didn't know that his trusted attendant had been bribed by Shen Nanzhi with a bag of apricot and pear cakes.

When Mo Yi came back with the lunch box, Xiao Chuyun saw the smile on his face that he couldn't suppress, and the bulging cuffs on his sleeves. He glanced at him calmly and asked, "What else did I give you?"

Mo Yi was as if facing a great enemy. He protected his sleeve with one hand and said nervously, "No, nothing. Miss Shen gave me two pieces of apricot pear cake as a reward. There are still two layers of cake in the master's food box. It is impossible to finish them. I think she will not look down on these two pieces, right?"

At that time, Xiao Chuyun was calmly opening the food box. Seeing that it was filled with fragrant apricot and pear cakes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Especially when he heard Mo Yi say that these were all packed by Shen Nanzhi in the small kitchen herself, Xiao Chuyun was in a better mood.

Seeing Mo Yi guarding the food like this, Xiao Chuyun nodded: "Well, I can't finish it."

Seeing this, Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just about to sneak down and find a place to hide and eat it, so as to avoid being seen by Mo Yun and others and being robbed.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xiao Chuyun said, "But you can save it for tomorrow's meal."

After saying that, he glanced coldly at the cuff of Mo Yi's sleeve where the apricot and pear cake was hidden.

Mo Yi froze up, and couldn't help but flattering, "Master, this is a reward from Miss Shen. I haven't had dinner yet, and you can't finish it anyway..."

Before he could finish, he saw Xiao Chuyun frowning slightly.

Mo Yi no longer dared to act funny, and immediately presented the oil paper bag with both hands.

Seeing Xiao Chuyun carefully closing the food box tightly and putting it away, then opening the oil paper package and eating the apricot and pear cake that belonged to him bite by bite, Mo Yi's heart bled.

In the end, Xiao Chuyun only glanced at him indifferently: "There is still cold rice in the kitchen."

This was too much to even watch. Mo Yi left with a sad heart, silently muttering in his heart, the female master is still the best!

Of course, his mistress Shen Nanzhi was not aware of this.

As soon as Mo Yi left, Shen Changan sent Qiuyue back.

Unlike before, Shen Changan's expression was obviously a little ugly.

After asking Qiuyue, Shen Nanzhi found out that she was accidentally spotted when she was looking for someone on the pleasure boat.

After she revealed her identity, this was actually a trivial matter. No one would suspect that a maidservant of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would do anything sneaky.

However, Miss Xie, the hostess of the pleasure boat that day, would.

She ordered people to arrest Qiuyue and demanded that she be sent to see the official.

Yao Zheng, the youngest son of Jingzhao Yin Yao Qian, happened to be on the boat.

He was so obsessed with chasing after Fourth Miss Xie that he lost all reason and compassion. In order to show off in front of the beauty, he even took the initiative to take on the task of sending Qiuyue to the Jingzhao government office.

But he had clearly seen Qiuyue, and he knew that Qiuyue was the maid of Shen Changan's cousin.

Even if she was sent to the government office, they couldn't do anything to Qiuyue. At most, the news would get out and she would become a laughing stock.

But Fourth Miss Xie insisted on doing so.

This was clearly meant to make things difficult for Qiuyue, and to embarrass Qiuyue in order to humiliate Shen Nanzhi in public.

The previous brotherly friendship between Yao Zheng and Shen Changan, which was full of flirting, was not worth mentioning in the face of the few words of flattery from Fourth Miss Xie.

That's why Shen Changan looked so unhappy when he came back.

"I guess I misjudged him!"

Shen Changan was still angry at this moment.

Shen Nanzhi comforted him: "It's better to see his character earlier."

Shen Changan had always been praising his "good friends" in front of Shen Nanzhi, and what happened today undoubtedly made him lose face in front of Shen Nanzhi.

After exchanging some thoughts with Shen Nanzhi about the people of Beiyi, he told Shen Nanzhi to have a good rest and was going to talk to Shen Huaishu about the matter in detail. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Is that crazy girl okay?"

Thinking of Liu Jingya, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh. She lowered her eyes and said, "It's fine, cousin, don't worry, she won't bother you again in the future."

Hearing this, Shen Changan nodded: "That's good."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave. Only then did he realize what Shen Nanzhi said later, and couldn't help but ask, "You won't bother me anymore in the future? What does that mean?"

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh: "It means exactly what it says. Cousin, you don't have to worry about this anymore."

However, as an outsider, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help feeling sad and lost when he said this.

Shen Nanzhi still likes Liu Jingya very much.

Moreover, in her opinion, Liu Jingya and Shen Changan are a perfect match.

It’s a pity that the fallen petals want to follow the flowing water, but the flowing water has no intention of lingering on the fallen petals.

For Liu Jingya, it was a good thing that she woke up in time and left.

Looking at Shen Changan's expression, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He asked curiously, "Will she give up so easily?"

Why doesn't he believe it?

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. She said seriously, "Cousin, it may seem like a small thing to you, but to Sister Jingya, it was when she needed you the most, and she saw you trying to avoid her. How could she not be disappointed? If she is disappointed too many times like this, her heart will turn cold, and she will naturally leave."

Shen Changan raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head, frowning and said, "You mean tonight? But I was just trying to avoid suspicion. I understand that she almost got into trouble tonight, and she definitely doesn't want outsiders to see her in such a miserable and unmanageable state. I was afraid that I would upset her."

Shen Nanzhi was speechless.

For some things, the way men think is completely different from that of these girls.

Even Shen Changan himself felt a little aggrieved that Shen Nanzhi thought this way, but he didn't think any more about it: "Forget it, forget it, it doesn't matter if it's a misunderstanding. She's a girl, and it's not a big deal for her to follow me around all day. I can have peace in the future."

In this case, Shen Nanzhi couldn't say anything more.

Only after seeing Shen Changan off did she return to her room.

As soon as I entered the room, I found Qiuyue kneeling on the ground with red eyes.

"What is this doing?"

Shen Nanzhi was puzzled.

Qiuyue bowed her head and said, "Miss, I have messed up my job several times and brought trouble to you. I am sorry, please punish me!"

Shen Nanzhi wanted to pull her up, but she refused.

Shen Nanzhi had no choice but to say, "As for the incident at Mingyue Tower, it's all in the past, no need to mention it again. As for what happened tonight, no one expected it, so just be more careful next time."

Hearing this, Qiuyue burst into tears. She shook her head and choked up, "No, Miss, it's my incompetence. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I just feel a little powerless, especially since the last time I followed Miss and the prince out of the city and was attacked. I have always been uneasy and often have internal energy blocked. At first, I thought it was because I was too frightened and didn't get enough rest. But tonight on Miss Xie's pleasure boat, there were only ordinary guards. With my skills, I could have avoided them. But at that time, I didn't know what happened. I just suddenly couldn't use my strength."

Shen Nanzhi was secretly shocked when he heard this.

She suddenly remembered something she had ignored until now.
