What is he, he, he, doing?

Shen Nanzhi's brain seemed to be shut down, he felt dazed and dizzy.

The warm and delicate touch from her fingertips made her scalp tingle and her heart beat faster.

Not only that, the strong sense of shame also made her at a loss. She instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but she seemed to have no strength at all.

Xiao Chuyun sucked the blood beads on her fingertips, then naturally took the handkerchief from Shen Nanzhi's hand that she had taken out earlier but had not had time to wipe the blood beads, and gently wiped it for her before covering the wound.

He did all this naturally and calmly, without any charm or fantasy.

"Sorry, this is the fastest way to stop the bleeding," Go back and ask Lu Pianpian to apply some medicine, and don't touch water for the next two days."

After doing all this, Xiao Chuyun looked up at Shen Nanzhi.

There was a trace of blood at the corner of his lips, and that trace of blood-red lips added a touch of richness to his already beautiful face.

Even if he just looked over like this and said nothing, he was already captivating and captivating everyone.

Shen Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat without any warning.

In contrast, Xiao Chuyun's eyes were frank and his tone was sincere, which made Shen Nanzhi, whose face was already flushed with shame, reflect on herself and wonder if she was thinking too much.

She was too embarrassed to look Xiao Chuyun in the eye again, so she just turned her head away and responded vaguely.

She didn’t know if it was Shen Nanzhi’s illusion, but she seemed to hear a chuckle.

When she wanted to listen more carefully, the only sound in the narrow carriage was their breathing.

In order to break the awkwardness, Shen Nanzhi found a topic and said, "The Northern Barbarian envoy went to see the prince before. Is it nothing serious?"

"Ah."

Xiao Chuyun responded, but then he felt that he was being a little cold, so he added: "Although they are in favor of peace, they are somewhat resentful about submitting to Da Qi, so when facing other ministers, their words are inevitably a little harsh."

Shen Nanzhi understood. He was afraid that some minister was being harassed by the Northern Barbarians' envoys and would be unable to save face. Emperor Shunqing was also afraid of losing face for Great Qi, so he quickly asked Xiao Chuyun to take charge.

In this court, if we talk about someone who can intimidate the northern barbarians, it must be him.

That's really not a big deal.

Shen Nanzhi did not ask any more questions, but Xiao Chuyun asked her: "What do you think about the incident in the lotus pond today?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head: "There is no clue for the time being, but..."

Shen Nanzhi paused at this point. Even though they were the only two people in the carriage at the moment, she subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "If Xiao Yunzi and others under the prince are fine, then I suspect that there is an insider around Sister Jingya. That person not only knows Sister Jingya, but also knows her every move."

It was obvious that when Shen Nanzhi and Liu Jingya entered the palace today, they did not bring any maids with them. After entering the palace gate, only Xiao Yunzi was with them, and they went all the way to Jinxiu Palace.

The two palace maids who were arranged to follow Liu Jingya were also subordinates of Xiao Yunzi of Jinxiu Palace.

Shen Nanzhi naturally would not doubt the person Xiao Chuyun trusted, so the only people left were those around Liu Jingya.

At this point, Shen Nanzhi asked curiously, "Your Majesty, did the man in black and the lotus pond find anything?"

When Xiao Chuyun mentioned this, his eyes gradually turned cold. He lowered his eyes and said, "There was someone looking around the lotus pond, but he was also very alert and did not get close. Moreover, before Xiao Yunzi and the others could catch up, he disappeared. The enemy was already alerted, and the plan of following the clues would not work. As for the identity of the man in black, although it has not been found out yet, it is certain that he is not from the palace."

He is not from the palace, which means he sneaked into the palace today.

Although there are many people in the palace today, the guards are still tight. It is not easy to sneak into the harem unless there is an insider.

Liu Jingya went to the lotus pond to make room for Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun. It was a place she went there on a whim.

As for today's plan... In such a short time, it is almost impossible to arrange for palace maids to go to the Imperial Garden to "warn" and find men in black to ambush in advance and avoid the layers of guards.

Firstly, there was not enough time. Secondly, the closer you get to Chaohua Palace, the fewer people there are. If someone was spying in secret, Shen Nanzhi would have discovered it long ago.

unless……

That person knew Liu Jingya's personality very well and knew that Liu Jingya was coming to see Shen Nanzhi. He even guessed that Liu Jingya would accompany Shen Nanzhi all the way to Chaohua Palace instead of taking her to Jinxiu Palace to pay her respects.

He even expected or got the news in advance that Emperor Shunqing was in Chaohua Palace, and Xiao Chuyun would also go to Chaohua Palace. He guessed that with Liu Jingya's personality, she would definitely choose to avoid it, and the lotus pond outside Chaohua Palace was obviously her best choice!

Therefore, ambushes and deployments were made in advance.

If you think about it this way, there are not many people who are capable of doing all these things and who understand Liu Jingya and the movements of Emperor Shunqing.

A vague shadow flashed through Shen Nanzhi's mind, but this guess had just come to her mind, and even she herself felt it was impossible.

Before she could think about it, the dizzy feeling in her head became more and more severe, and she even had difficulty lifting her eyelids.

Shen Nanzhi subconsciously raised his hand and touched his forehead, only to find that it was burning hot.

It turned out that her previous dazed and dizzy feeling was not just because of Xiao Chuyun.

She herself began to feel unwell.

To be precise, I fell into the water and got soaked, so I went to Jinxiu Palace to change clothes.

A sneeze!

Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but sneeze.

She wanted to touch the handkerchief, but couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Only then did her dizzy mind realize that the handkerchief was still wrapped around her fingertips.

At this time, a plain white brocade handkerchief was handed to Shen Nanzhi.

She took it subconsciously and wiped her nose, then she remembered it was Xiao Chuyun's handkerchief. Shen Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed and was about to express her gratitude when she suddenly felt her body sink. She couldn't hold on any longer and fell forward.

Before Shen Nanzhi's eyes and consciousness fell into complete darkness, she felt a pair of large hands picking her up and holding her horizontally. Then, she fell into a warm and broad embrace.

Then, Shen Nanzhi completely lost consciousness.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

Seeing the familiar flower-sprinkled, gold-stamped cloud-gauze curtains, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but blink. Before she regained consciousness, she heard a cry from the bedside: "My sister Zhizhi! You're finally awake!"

Lu Pianpian's figure jumped into view.

She raised her hand to wipe the non-existent sweat from her forehead and said exaggeratedly: "If you don't wake up, the prince will probably hang me on the city wall and behead me as a warning to the public!"

Shen Nanzhi forced a smile: "It's not that serious."

But as soon as she said this, she realized that her throat was dry and sore, as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper. Not only was her voice extremely hoarse, but it also felt very uncomfortable.

Qiu Yu, who was also standing by, quickly poured Shen Nanzhi a cup of warm water and gave it to her. After she moistened her throat, she said, "Pian Pian is not exaggerating. When the prince sent the girl back yesterday, we were scared by his expression. He even called her a quack doctor."

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Pianpian curled her lips and said aggrievedly: "At least I am much better than those imperial doctors in the palace who are neither good-looking nor useful. Even if I don't have the reputation of my adoptive father as a miracle doctor, I am still not a mediocre doctor. It's a pity that I am busy and exhausted, seeing this and saving that, but in the end I end up being criticized like this."

The more Lu Pianpian talked, the more aggrieved she felt. She was about to cry. Shen Nanzhi struggled to get up and comforted her, "Your Highness is bound to speak out of turn in a hurry. Don't take it to heart. How can Pianpian not be a miracle doctor? You are the most powerful miracle doctor in my eyes!"

Hearing this, Lu Pianpian raised her eyebrows: “Really?”

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "It's more real than gold!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Pianpian's eyes lit up and she said, "In that case, can the amazing Little Doctor Lu follow Sister Zhizhi to the Qiuwei? I heard that the freshly hunted deer and rabbits are delicious when roasted!"

When it comes to food, she no longer looks aggrieved as she did just now.

It turned out to be waiting for her here.

Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not that I can't go, but I have something to do that day, so I may not be able to take care of you, and I also sneaked out..."

Before Shen Nanzhi finished speaking, Lu Pianpian clapped her hands and laughed, "As long as I can go, it's fine. I can protect myself, don't worry, Sister Zhizhi! But I have to make some preparations in advance. After all, the environment is complicated and it's in the wild. Mosquitoes, snakes and ants are annoying enough."

When it comes to Qiuwei, Lu Pianpian can't wait to set off immediately. She turned around and was about to start tossing and turning, but before leaving, she couldn't help but remind Shen Nanzhi: "By the way, Sister Zhizhi's cold is coming on strongly this time. It's best to rest at home for a few days, avoid wind, cold, oily and meaty foods, and take medicine obediently, otherwise it will worsen your condition."

Seeing Shen Nanzhi agreed, she turned around and went back to work.

The medicine was delivered quickly.

Shen Nanzhi learned from Qiuyu that Xiao Chuyun sent her back yesterday and waited until her fever subsided before leaving. This morning, he sent someone to inquire about her.

Judging from Qiuyu's tone, if it wasn't against the rules, Xiao Chuyun would probably just stay overnight at the Shen family.

A Niang also stayed here to guard Shen Nanzhi all night, and just went back to wash up after being persuaded by Lu Pianpian and the maids.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't bear to see his mother working so hard, and besides, his mother was already weak and sickly. Shen Nanzhi was afraid that he would pass on his illness to her, so he asked someone to tell his mother to have a good rest. He would go to see her in person when she felt better, and told her not to come over for the next two days.

Shen Nanzhi also asked someone to pass the message to Xiao Chuyun.

She just caught a cold, it wasn't a serious matter, but I didn't expect such a large number of people would be mobilized.

Although the fever had subsided, Shen Nanzhi's mind was still dizzy.

Especially when she saw the handkerchief still wrapped around her fingertips, the memories of yesterday in the carriage suddenly flooded into her mind. The warm and wet feeling on her fingertips was still there. Shen Nanzhi felt even more dizzy and her cheeks couldn't help but get hot.

Qiu Yu, who was combing her hair, asked nervously, "Miss, is the fever coming back?"

As he spoke, Qiu Yu was about to touch Shen Nanzhi's forehead.

Shen Nanzhi quickly waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay."

She was about to find a way to change the subject when she heard Chuntao suddenly come back from outside and report: "Miss, the old lady of the Jiang family wants you to come over. She said that an important guest has come to the Jiang Mansion and is waiting to see you."

Important guest?

Shen Nanzhi just raised her eyes, and Qiuyu, who was responsible for keeping an eye on the Jiang family, quickly explained: "This person was seen by the young lady when she was very young. She is the cousin of the old lady of the Jiang family. When the Zhao family was wiped out, she was not affected as a daughter of the Zhao family who married far away."

Shen Nanzhi knew this person, Zhao Jinhua.

It is said that when she and Zhao were in the Zhao family before they got married, they had a very good relationship, even closer than sisters. However, as Zhao Jinhua married far away, the contact between the two gradually became less.

Although Zhao married a farmer at first, she has lived a rich and prosperous life ever since she married her son who brought prosperity to the whole family.

The difference between her and Zhao Jinhua was that she married a cloth merchant far away. Although she was a concubine, she lived a rich life with no worries about food and clothing. She was many times better off than Zhao Shi, who worked hard all day long.

But later, with Jiang Shiyan's success, Zhao no longer cared about Zhao Jinhua's things.

Shen Nanzhi remembered that in her previous life, Zhao Jinhua had also visited the Jiang family.

She was just bringing her two granddaughters with the intention of arranging a marriage for Jiang Qingyuan. Although Zhao was unhappy, she still treated them politely and sent someone to send them back to Jingzhou.

Unfortunately, on the way back to Jingzhou, they encountered a mountain flood, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, along with the servants sent by the Jiang family to see them off, were buried in the gurgling river.

At that time, Shen Nanzhi just sighed and didn't think much about it.

Now that he knew about the Jiang family's affairs and Jiang Shiyan's methods, Shen Nanzhi could no longer treat this incident as an accident.

If it was really Jiang Shiyan who did it...

Even if he felt that their statuses were not compatible and refused the marriage proposal, it would not lead to him putting the person to death.

There must be something wrong here or there is a secret that Shen Nanzhi doesn’t know about!

Since this matter concerns Jiang Shiyan, Shen Nanzhi can't sit still.

Moreover, she remembered that in her previous life, from the time Zhao Jinhua and her two grandchildren came to the Jiang family until they left, the Zhao family did not send anyone to call Shen Nanzhi or her mother.

She probably felt that it was shameful for her son to marry into another family and that it would undermine her dignity as the mistress of the house.

During that period, Shen Nanzhi was in a bad mood and locked himself in the yard all day without going out.

She had never seen these three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

Unexpectedly, in this life, her mother had even divorced Jiang Shiyan, but Zhao actually took the initiative to send someone to call her.

What is your intention?

Qiuyu waved at Chuntao and said, "The girl is sick and can't stand the wind these days. You should go back now."

However, before Chuntao turned around to report, Shen Nanzhi said, "No need, I'll go take a look."

But with just two steps, she wasn't that weak.

Rather than recuperating, she was more curious about what these people were planning.

Although Qiuyu disagreed, she didn't want to go against Shen Nanzhi's wishes. However, before Shen Nanzhi went out, she found a veil for Shen Nanzhi and wrapped him up from head to toe, and then followed Shen Nanzhi out.

However, Shen Nanzhi still underestimated the cold he caught.

After walking just two steps outside, she was already out of breath and even had no strength in her body.

But fortunately, the Jiang family is just opposite, not too far away.

Although Shen Nanzhi was mentally prepared before coming, he was still given a big surprise when he saw Zhang Jinhua and his three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
