As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Changan's face changed suddenly.

He said in disbelief: "Zhizhi, what did you say?"

Shen Nanzhi raised her hand to dismiss all the maids, and asked Qiuyu to guard outside the courtyard. Then she spoke to Shen Changan, "I suspect that Sister Jingya's previous encounter in the lotus pond was planned by the Fifth Prince, but I don't have any solid evidence at the moment, it's just a guess. She was supposed to come to see me today, but I haven't seen her until now. This is really unlike her impetuous personality."

Hearing this, Shen Changan frowned: "Then in your opinion, where will he take the person?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head.

Her understanding of Xiao Ziyi is really limited.

Now we can only wait for news from Xiao Chuyun.

Shen Changan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I can always find clues around him. I will follow him and keep an eye on him! I will also send someone to check his recent movements."

Although he was extremely anxious, he did not lose his mind.

Shen Nanzhi discussed his previous arrangements with him, circled a few places, and then let Shen Changan personally lead people to look for them.

Xiao Chuyun's men went to investigate Xiao Ziyi's whereabouts in the capital, while Shen Changan went to investigate Xiao Ziyi's recent movements.

This all takes time.

If possible, Shen Nanzhi also wanted to go out, but she had a high fever again, her body was hot and cold, she felt weak all over, and she was a little unsteady when she walked. Instead of going out and causing trouble for others, it would be better for her to calm down and think about what else she had overlooked.

Shen Nanzhi always felt vaguely that she had missed something, but her mind was really confused now.

In desperation, Shen Nanzhi could only find Lu Pianpian again and ask her if she had any prescription that could help her cheer up in a short period of time, even if there were some side effects.

Lu Pianpian rubbed his head and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I do have a pill here that can boost your energy and strengthen your essence. I named it Gu Yuan Dan. I made it when I had nothing to do. I added several special herbs to it. Even if you are so sick that you can't even move your fingers, it can make you lively and energetic in a short period of time."

At this point, Lu Pianpian paused and said, "But this pill also has serious side effects. Once the effect of the drug wears off, the whole person's energy and spirit will seem to be drained away, and there will be a period of double weakness, which is equivalent to overdrawing the body of the person taking the drug in advance."

"Although the efficacy of the medicine varies from person to person, it is related to the individual's physique. After a strong man like Brother Mo Yun caught a cold and tried it, he became exhausted and even had difficulty speaking. Therefore, I only used it on Brother Mo Yun before, and I didn't dare to let others try it."

Shen Nanzhi pointed at himself and said, "Look at my body, can it be used?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Pianpian took a breath of cold air and quickly took several steps back: "That won't do. If that happens, the prince will have to peel off my skin, and I will never see my godfather again in this life! No matter how much crystal elbow I add, it won't work this time!"

As she spoke, seeing that Shen Nanzhi was really interested, Lu Pianpian turned around and tried to run.

Since the pill works, Shen Nanzhi doesn't care about the aftereffects even if it has a strong effect.

She glanced at Qiuyu, who took a step forward, pressed Lu Pianpian's shoulders, and pulled her back.

Finally, Shen Nanzhi persuaded Lu Pianpian to finally give in, "Okay, but this thing can't be used unless it's absolutely necessary. Sister Zhizhi is just curious and wants to have fun. If you want to know the effect, you can let others try it. If it doesn't work, you can only stay at home. You know, once the effect of the medicine wears off outside, you may not even have the strength to stand up. What if there is no one around to help you?"

“It’s really too dangerous!”

As soon as she handed the Guyuan Pill to Shen Nanzhi, Lu Pianpian regretted it and wanted to reach out to take it back, but Shen Nanzhi had already put it in her pocket naturally. Although it seemed that he had no intention of taking it immediately, this situation made Lu Pianpian involuntarily shrink her neck.

She felt that she still had to be prepared to clean her neck, and even had to consider whether she should hurry up and eat more good food, at least to be full.

Seeing her looking like she was facing a great enemy, Shen Nanzhi was about to promise her that she would not go out unless it was necessary. However, unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, she saw Chuntao running hurriedly from outside the yard with a little maid.

The moment Shen Nanzhi saw the appearance of the little maid clearly, his heart skipped a beat.

It's Tweety.

Cui'er beside Liu Jingya!

When Shen Nanzhi was worried about not being able to find Liu Jingya, he suddenly saw her personal maid coming. How could he not be surprised?

She even took the initiative to stand up and take two steps to meet him, but with the slightest movement, her body began to shake. Shen Nanzhi could only grit her teeth and bear it.

On this side, Shen Nanzhi could be seen from afar through the windowsill. Before he even entered the room, Cui'er had already knelt down in front of Shen Nanzhi.

"Miss Shen!"

"Please help my young lady, Miss Shen!"

Shen Nanzhi looked at her in surprise.

Cui Er lowered her eyes and said nervously, "I followed the young lady this morning to learn martial arts from Miss Shen, but when we passed by Fuyun Tower, the young lady said that it was a good opportunity to stop by and reserve a table. She wanted to invite Miss Shen to have a drink at Fuyun Tower at noon, but she didn't expect to have an argument with the fourth young lady Wei."

At this point, Cui Er said with some fear: "In the chaos, no one knows who started the fight first. Miss Wei rolled down the stairs, hit her head, and bled all over the floor... She is still unconscious now. The young lady said that ordinary doctors are not good at medicine and may not be reliable. She wants to ask Miss Pian Pian, who is beside Miss Shen, to help her!"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frown.

It was the fourth Miss Wei again! The idiot who was used as a pawn by Princess Zhaoning before!

Shen Nanzhi and Liu Jingya have been spending more time together, so Liu Jingya naturally knows Lu Pianpian who is beside Shen Nanzhi. If the fourth Miss Wei is seriously injured and there is no trustworthy doctor around her, it is reasonable for her to come to Shen Nanzhi to ask for Lu Pianpian.

However, no matter how you look at it, there is something a little weird about this matter.

Even if Fourth Miss Wei doesn't get along with Shen Nanzhi and doesn't have much brains, she shouldn't be stupid enough to confront Liu Jingya head-on.

She used her power to bully others, and at most she would only bully girls like Ye Qingwan, whose family background was not as good as hers.

And Liu Jingya is a noble lady of such status, and she is famous for being spoiled by the Liu family and Concubine Liu Shufei. Unless Fourth Miss Wei is insane, how could she possibly bring trouble upon herself and fight against a rock with an egg?

Unless someone is deliberately guiding or taking advantage of it.

No matter what calculations and traps are hidden here, at least we now know Liu Jingya's whereabouts, and she should be safe for the time being, unlike the worst plan Shen Nanzhi had made before.

Shen Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Pianpian who was mentioned by Cui'er.

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, Lu Pianpian had already turned around and scurried back to her room. She quickly came out with a medicine box and urged Cui'er, "Let's go. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. We can't wait."

However, Cui'er looked at Lu Pianpian and then at Shen Nanzhi with an embarrassed expression.

Lu Pianpian couldn't help but frowned and said, "Sister Zhizhi doesn't know how to treat injuries. She is still sick. I can go."

Cui Er then stood up, but when she left, she was still a little entangled and said, "I am afraid that this matter will not be resolved so easily. Today, Madam has gone to the palace again. I am afraid that Miss will suffer alone. Can you ask Miss Shen to go with you so that she can help you?"

Lu Pianpian grabbed Cui'er's arm and said, "That won't work either. Sister Zhizhi has caught a cold and has a high fever right now. She can't stand the wind today. I'm a doctor, you have to listen to me!"

As she said that, she pulled Cui'er and walked out.

Shen Nanzhi looked at Cui'er's worried and panicked eyes, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Seeing that Lu Pianpian was about to jump up, Shen Nanzhi forced himself to stand up, and said in a weak but firm voice: "It's not too far, I'll go over and take a look, otherwise I'll be worried at home."

Since she said so, Lu Pianpian didn't know what to say, so she turned around and personally held Shen Nanzhi's arm.

Qiuyu originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Shen Nanzhi.

Before turning around and leaving, Shen Nanzhi glanced at Cui'er who was waiting anxiously, and then said to Qiuyu in a pointed way: "I don't know where my cousin went to make trouble. Ask Zhuifeng to bring him a message and tell him that Brother Mo Yi will come to pick us up later and tell him not to worry."

It was just a few simple words, but there was something behind them. Qiu Yu only glanced at Shen Nanzhi's eyes, then nodded and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, young lady. I understand."

Shen Nanzhi nodded, and then, supported by Lu Pianpian, she left the house and took a carriage to Fuyun Tower.

At this moment, the outside of Fuyun Building was already surrounded by people in three layers.

Before I got closer, I could already hear a lot of people talking.

Many of them were criticizing Liu Jingya.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not dare to make irresponsible remarks about a noble lady like Liu Jingya. But today the matter has become a big deal, and more and more people have gathered to watch the fun. With the hope that the law will not punish them, people dare to make such irresponsible remarks.

"I've heard that the little girl from the Liu family was too spoiled. I also heard that she even dared to scold Princess Jiahe. After all, she is from the royal family. This is too lawless."

"That's right. If she hadn't been spoiled too much, how could she dare to commit a crime in public?"

"If you ask me, the fourth Miss Wei is no pushover either. The two of them have met their match."

……

The whispers in the crowd grew louder and louder.

Fuyunlou arranged a group of strong men to guard the door to prevent these onlookers from crowding in.

When Cui'er took Shen Nanzhi over, she showed the Liu family's token before they were allowed to pass.

All the guests in the entire hall of Fuyun Building have been asked to leave.

At this moment, the only person left in the huge hall was the unconscious Fourth Miss Wei, who was placed on a bamboo chair. There were two doctors surrounding her, who were feeling her pulse with frowns on their faces.

The place was a mess.

A little further away, a few young girls and maids were looking around anxiously. They were probably in the same group as the fourth Miss Wei.

Because when they saw Shen Nanzhi rushing over, there was hostility in their eyes that they had not had time to conceal.

"how's it going?"

Lu Pianpian first helped Shen Nanzhi sit down on a bench nearby. Seeing Shen Nanzhi nod, she turned around and went to check on Miss Wei Si's injuries.

Apart from anything else, the most important thing right now is to save Fourth Miss Wei.

The shopkeeper of Fuyunlou and several of his employees were now standing at the door at a loss, anxiously waiting for someone from the Wei and Liu families to come and deal with the situation.

Shen Nanzhi looked around but did not see Liu Jingya.

At this time, Cui Er asked the shopkeeper on her behalf: "Where is my young lady?"

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed upstairs: "That lady is in the private room upstairs. She said she didn't want to see this...eye-catching scene."

This sounds like Liu Jingya's tone.

Cui Er turned to look at Shen Nanzhi and lowered her voice and said, "During the shove earlier, my young lady fell down and injured her leg. She is very afraid of pain, so I guess she is sulking in her room now."

Shen Nanzhi nodded and put his hand on her arm: "Help me up."

She really had no strength.

Seeing that Shen Nanzhi didn't seem to think much about it, Cui'er nodded, and hurriedly and obediently supported Shen Nanzhi's arm, and took Shen Nanzhi up the stairs to the door of the room at the corner of the second floor.

Before Cui Er pushed the door open, Shen Nanzhi patted the door first: "Sister Jingya?"

However, no one answered in the room, but through the gap in the door, Shen Nanzhi could still vaguely see a figure passing behind the screen.

It was just a figure that flashed by, and Shen Nanzhi didn't even have time to tell whether that figure was Liu Jingya's.

So, Shen Nanzhi shouted again, and this time there was a sudden muffled bang from inside.

The screen inside came crashing down.

Cui'er also pushed open the door at this time.

The huge room was empty except for all the furnishings.

The falling screen created a lot of dust, but it wasn't enough to block people's vision.

The figure that Shen Nanzhi had clearly seen through the gap just now seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Where is Miss?"

Cui'er was completely dumbfounded.

She didn't even care about Shen Nanzhi, and quickly walked around the fallen screen and took a few steps into the inner room.

"Where's my lady?"

Shen Nanzhi felt very dizzy, and after losing Cui'er's support, he became even more drowsy.

She subconsciously raised her hand to hold the door frame.

But the door frame was like tofu. As soon as Shen Nanzhi's fingertips touched it, it suddenly fell towards her.

Fortunately, Cui'er reacted quickly. She stepped forward quickly and pulled Shen Nanzhi into the house, barely avoiding the fallen door.

The noise was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of everyone below.

The shopkeeper looked over and asked, "Miss Shen, what happened?"

As they were talking, the shopkeeper had already come up with his men to check out the situation.

But Shen Nanzhi could no longer answer them at this moment.

Because just as Cui'er brought her into the house, a secret passage suddenly appeared on the originally smooth and flat ground.

Shen Nanzhi and Cui'er both missed a step and fell into the secret passage together.

And the moment they fell, the ground automatically closed like a door.

Before their bodies hit the ground, the floor had already closed completely. Shen Nanzhi only heard half of the shopkeeper's question before they were completely plunged into darkness.

A strong sense of weightlessness and dizziness instantly engulfed her.
