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

Xiao Chuyun is here.

A breeze blew, making his clothes flutter in the wind. His already handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of beautiful halo, making him even more radiant and outstanding.

He was clearly a military general, but his every move and gesture was so elegant that even the civil officials could not match.

As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone present.

He only looked at Shen Nanzhi, his picturesque eyes and eyebrows were full of tenderness.

"Your Majesty."

Shen Nanzhi turned around and looked. Before she could speak, she heard Wang Miaoyu, who was kneeling on the ground, speak first: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Her already red eyes could not help but show a hint of surprise when she saw Xiao Chuyun, but then she thought of what Shen Nanzhi had just done, and Wang Miaoyu bowed her head and said solemnly: "Your Highness, Shen Nanzhi has gone too far..."

Wang Miaoyu had already prepared her emotions, and she was very confident in her appearance. Although she was not as bright and charming as Shen Nanzhi in front of her, Shen Nanzhi was too beautiful and her personality was too strong. Her tearful and aggrieved look was the most heartbreaking and aroused sympathy.

She had even calculated the arc of her bending and kowtowing, which just happened to reveal a hint of her fair neck, sparking endless reverie.

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Xiao Chuyun suddenly said coldly: "It seems that the lesson just now was not enough."

Zhao Jinhua and Wang Miaoyin, who were also kneeling on the ground, stretching their necks to wait for the complaint, were both startled.

Wang Miaoyu raised her head, tears in her eyes, and looked at Xiao Chuyun in disbelief.

But Xiao Chuyun didn't even look at her, he just turned around and stretched out his hand to Shen Nanzhi.

"You don't need to dirty your hands with these filthy things. You are still sick."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jinhua and her two grandchildren were all stunned... They never expected that in the eyes of the prince, they were nothing but dirty things.

Having learned the lesson of having two hot teacups thrown at her head by Shen Nanzhi, the usually fierce Zhao Jinhua didn't even dare to say a word. She held her head with both hands and only nudged the braver Wang Miaoyu with her elbow.

But Wang Miaoyu was so choked by Xiao Chuyun's words that she couldn't speak at all.

She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to try again, but just as she opened her mouth, she heard Xiao Chuyun coldly say to Mo Yi who was waiting outside: "Take him away."

Zhao Jinhua and the others were stunned for a moment. Seeing several guards with knives coming forward to take the man away, they realized what King Zhenbei meant by taking him away.

Several people were so frightened that their legs went limp. They could not care about anything else and could only beg for mercy: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare our lives!"

Even Zhao, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't bear it and said, "Your Highness, they were just joking with Zhizhi, they didn't mean any harm..."

Before Zhao could finish her words, Xiao Chuyun glanced at her indifferently.

The look was extremely cold, like ice piercing the bones. Even just a glance made Zhao feel cold all over. The rest of the words for mercy were swallowed back into her stomach subconsciously.

"Sister, you have to make the decision for us! Please, sir! Nothing can happen to us! You know that!"

Zhao Jinhua was now scared. Seeing that Xiao Chuyun was unmoved, she could only beg Zhao for mercy before being dragged away.

Zhao was timid to begin with, and had been frightened to death, but after hearing the last sentence, she mustered up the courage to look at Xiao Chuyun: "Your Majesty..."

But Xiao Chuyun didn't even look at her, he just helped Shen Nanzhi walk out of the main hall.

Zhao Jinhua and others were also quickly stuffed with cloth strips and taken away without making any sound.

Zhao was so anxious that she quickly found someone to invite Jiang Shiyan back.

On this side, Shen Nanzhi was supported by Xiao Chuyun as she left the Jiang family and returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

She was still a little uncomfortable with such public intimacy, but Xiao Chuyun had already extended his hand to her, and Shen Nanzhi didn't want to refuse his kindness in front of everyone.

Moreover, she was feeling very dizzy at that time and really needed support. Qiuyu's thin arms might not be able to support her body.

Shen Nanzhi just let him go. After all, it was only a few steps from here to home, and few outsiders would see him.

After passing through the screen wall of the Zhenguo Mansion and stepping onto the deserted covered bridge, Shen Nanzhi finally spoke: "Your Highness, those three people..."

She was just considering how to explain it when she saw Xiao Chuyun nod and say, "I know you can still be useful to me, so I asked someone to temporarily detain you in the Dali Temple prison."

Before Shen Nanzhi said anything, he guessed what Shen Nanzhi was thinking, which surprised Shen Nanzhi a little.

Xiao Chuyun smiled and explained, "With your personality, if there is nothing special, you would not rush over to see the doctor even if you are sick."

So, he saw that Shen Nanzhi was paying attention to these three people, and she had just "taken advantage of the situation", so he went with the flow and locked them up.

It was clear that the two of them had not discussed anything before, but he was able to cooperate with Shen Nanzhi seamlessly and guess Shen Nanzhi's temperament and thoughts accurately. How could Shen Nanzhi not be surprised?

A branch of crabapple blossom came through the corridor and appeared in front of Shen Nanzhi. Just as Shen Nanzhi was about to raise her hand, Xiao Chuyun had already pushed it away for her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

It was not easy to mention the things in the past life, so Shen Nanzhi just frowned and said, "I just suspected before that Zhao Jinhua and the others might know some secrets of the Jiang family. However, what Zhao Jinhua said to Zhao Shi in the end confirmed my guess."

Zhao was afraid. She was afraid that Zhao Jinhua would reveal what she knew.

What could make Zhao so scared and concerned is most likely related to Jiang Shiyan.

Shen Nanzhi even wondered whether it was related to the Zhao family's tragic massacre.

But after all, there is no evidence, and it is not easy to arrest people for investigation.

It just so happened that Zhao Jinhua was eager to take her granddaughter to marry into a rich family, and her rude words gave Shen Nanzhi the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Now that they have fallen into Xiao Chuyun's hands, and they have already been frightened by Shen Nanzhi today, are you still afraid that you can't pry any secrets out of them?

After listening to Shen Nanzhi's words, Xiao Chuyun's eyes softened, "Miss Shen is very smart."

Being praised in person by him, Shen Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed. She looked up at him and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is very smart to pick up on my words and guess what I want to do."

As soon as the words fell, the two smiled at each other.

After laughing, they all seemed to be a little embarrassed by the mutual compliments, and turned their eyes away tacitly.

The smile on Shen Nanzhi's lips had not yet completely disappeared, and the corner of her eye suddenly swept to the end of the corridor, where Shen Changan was sitting against a pillar and looking at her leisurely.

When Shen Nanzhi thought about how Xiao Chuyun had supported her so intimately, her cheeks felt a little hot for a moment.

Shen Changan held a piece of dogtail grass in the corner of his mouth, and he didn't seem to care about Shen Nanzhi's embarrassment at all. He even joked, "I won't get stye when I turn around, right?"

Shen Nanzhi's shame suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't help but glare at Shen Changan in a reproachful manner.

Xiao Chuyun, on the other hand, was as calm and elegant as ever. He lowered his eyes to look at Shen Changan and said calmly, "I remember that today is not a holiday for the Imperial College, and it is also the day when Liu Jijiu is giving an open class."

Shen Changan was most afraid of the bookish Liu Jijiu. Every open class given by Liu Jijiu was undoubtedly torture for him.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Changan, who had been so carefree just now, shuddered in shock, and quickly stood up and waved his hands, saying: "How could that be possible, Your Majesty, you must have remembered it wrongly, hehe!"

Shen Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him and imitated him: "Hehe! I'll tell my aunt later!"

Shen Changan's handsome face wrinkled into a bitter gourd in an instant. He threw away the dogtail grass and looked at Shen Nanzhi in a flattering manner: "Good sister, it's a rare opportunity that my mother went to Xiangguo Temple to worship today, so I dared to sneak back for a while. Please forgive me this time!"

As he spoke, Shen Changan took out the still steaming oil paper bag from his arms and handed it to Shen Nanzhi like offering a treasure: "Here, the peach cake from Babaozhai, I have been waiting in a long line."

Shen Nanzhi raised her hand to take it, but Xiao Chuyun was one step faster than her and took it naturally, and reminded softly: "It's a little hot, I'll take it first."

Shen Nanzhi nodded and turned to look at Shen Changan: "What do you want me to do for you, cousin?"

Hearing this, Shen Changan chuckled. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, "Can't I care about you if nothing happens? I heard that you were sick, so I didn't even have the heart to study anymore, so I thought of coming back to see you and see how good I, your brother, am to you!"

Shen Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him and pulled Xiao Chuyun away.

Seeing this, Shen Changan became a little anxious. He hurriedly said, "Stop! Wait until I finish speaking!"

But he still hesitated for a long time before he said, "How is she?"

Shen Nanzhi pretended to be confused even though she knew the truth: "Who are you talking about?"

Shen Changan's ears were red. He didn't even dare to meet Shen Nanzhi's eyes. He just looked at the crabapple branches not far away and said in a muffled voice: "I heard that something happened in the lotus pond outside Chaohua Palace yesterday. That so-and-so...that crazy girl fell into the water? She should be okay, right?"

He was a seven-foot-tall man, but he acted awkwardly in front of Shen Nanzhi, which made Shen Nanzhi want to kick him twice.

"Sister Jingya is at Liu's house, not at ours. How do I know if she is okay now?"

Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "If you really care about her, go ask her yourself! Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you're a little later, she will become the Fifth Prince's consort, and you can only kowtow to her when you meet her!"

If Shen Changan really realized too late that he had fallen in love with Liu Jingya, Shen Nanzhi would want to give him a couple of slaps when she thought of his previous actions.

"The Fifth Prince's Consort?"

Shen Changan was extremely surprised: "She? She is such a person who doesn't care about what she says and doesn't look dignified at all. And she wants to be the consort of the fifth prince?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, does your fist hurt when you hit someone?"

Xiao Chuyun cooperated and said, "You can try it."

As he said this, he really wanted to roll up his sleeves.

Seeing this, Shen Changan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no! Prince, although you are of noble status, I am still your brother-in-law, right?"

This sentence successfully made Xiao Chuyun curl his lips. He nodded seriously, and then just when Shen Changan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists, and said seriously: "That's true, but no one said that the eldest brother-in-law can't be beaten."

Shen Changan: “…”

This time, without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to speak, Shen Changan ran away in a flash.

It was rare to see someone other than the aunt being able to control Shen Changan. Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xiao Chuyun walked her all the way to the entrance of the inner courtyard before stopping, and was about to hand Shen Nanzhi over to two maids to help her back.

But Shen Nanzhi suddenly stopped and looked back at Qiu Yu: "Sister Jingya didn't come today?"

Seeing Qiuyu shaking her head, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frown.

wrong.

Even if the news that she fell ill when she returned home yesterday had not spread, Liu Jingya always kept her promises. She promised her that she would come today to start practicing martial arts with her, so she would definitely come. Even if she couldn't come due to something, she would definitely send someone to bring a message.

Furthermore, if Liu Jingya knew that she was sick, given her personality, she would definitely come to visit her in person.

There's no reason why there shouldn't be any news at all.

Shen Nanzhi was just about to ask Qiuyu to send someone over to ask, but saw Mo Yi coming hurriedly with a secret letter in his hand.

After reading it, Xiao Chuyun naturally handed it to Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi read the whole thing at a glance.

There was nothing special about it. It was just information about the investigation into the young eunuch Chunsheng who drowned in the well yesterday.

He has been on duty quietly in Yongning Palace recently. The secret letter records the people he has come into contact with recently and the things he has done. At first glance, there is nothing special.

Further down is Chunsheng’s identity.

His original surname was Zhao and his name was Zhao Chunsheng. He was from the suburbs of Beijing and had an older brother. In the early years, his family was so poor that they sold him to the palace in order to support the whole family. His twin brother could not enter the palace because of an eye disease, but he was also sold by someone else.

Later, due to war and famine, he completely lost contact with his family.

It seems that he does not belong to any party in the court.

Chunsheng, twin brother, eye disease...

However, these words put together suddenly awakened an insignificant memory deep in Shen Nanzhi's memory.

That was in her previous life, before the accident at the autumn hunting ground, when she went to the stable to choose a foal, she met a horse slave with a blind eye.

The man was very clever, he could read people's faces, choose horses, and please people.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but ask him a few more questions and found out that his name was Zhao Youwu.

At that time, Shen Nanzhi even joked: "How come you, such a smart person, chose such a strange name?"

But the horse slave smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Miss, you don't know, I have a twin brother. My parents are not very literate. They just think the phrase 'Spring brings forth all things' is good and the Zhuang family likes it, but a humble person like me cannot use the word 'wan', so I slightly modified it and replaced it with the word 'you'."

So, his name is Zhao Youwu.

And his twin brother's name is Zhao Chunsheng.

If it wasn't a coincidence...

Shen Nanzhi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

From the hot spring villa, to the lotus pond frame-up, from the empress dowager, to Liu Jingya... all these experiences made Shen Nanzhi feel uneasy, as if she had found out the truth but was being pushed forward by an invisible hand and was being plotted against.

At this point, it finally becomes clear!
