Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The corners of Lu Jiusi's handsome lips instantly drooped, his eyes were at a loss and nervous. He wanted to reach out again, but retracted his hand, fearing that he would hurt Shen Nanyue again.

When he looked up again, he saw that Shen Nanyan's back was covered with blood flowers, and the petals were gradually spreading out.

"What happened? You're injured, Qing..."

Just as Lu Jiusi was about to ask someone to call a doctor, he felt a chill all over his body and the image of Wu You appeared before his eyes.

[It's no use calling someone over. Please leave first.]

"Is her condition serious? Can you treat her? What's going on?"

[I can't heal her if you stay here. Are you sure you don't want to go out?]

Shen Lujiusi glanced at Shen Nanyan, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

There was only a dim candlelight in the room. Lu Jiusi sat at the table, rubbed the blood on his palm, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe it clean, but his heart was still thinking about Shen Nanyue in the inner room.

Soon Wu You called him in. Shen Nanyan had changed her clothes and was sitting upright in a chair. Apart from her pale face, there was nothing wrong with her.

"I'm afraid it's not convenient to pay respects to His Highness."

Shen Nanyan forced a wry smile and even breathed cautiously.

"It's okay, how did you get hurt?"

"My stepmother beat me."

"Just let her beat you? No, what did you do wrong? Why didn't you resist?"

"It's not me, it's my mother who was framed. Besides, Mrs. Lu is the principal wife, so it's normal for her to punish a concubine. I just couldn't bear to see my mother suffer. This is all a small matter. I wonder if Your Highness has come here so late at night for something important?"

When Shen Nanyan asked this, Lu Jiusi was at a loss for words.

He just wanted to come and see Shen Nanyan. He didn't want to disturb her, but he couldn't help it, so things turned out like this. It's not convenient to tell Shen Nanyan right now.

"I came to tell you that we have returned to the capital. The emperor said he would reward your brother."

"A commendation? Will they give him a small official position?"

When Shen Yunzhi's career was mentioned, Shen Nanyan's eyes lit up.

"meeting."

The emperor's reward was just some gold and silver, but since Shen Nanyan liked it, he would just fulfill Shen Nanyan's wish.

"Just say that following Your Highness is the right thing to do. Your Highness is wise and brave. I just followed you on a trip, and now I have achieved great merit. I only regret that I am not in good health now. When I recover, I will kowtow to Your Highness and express my gratitude."

It was clearly a compliment to Lu Jiusi, but he could sense a sense of alienation, so he was not very happy.

"Just say this to others. How could you not understand the real situation?"

"This humble servant only provided a few small things. This victory was achieved under the personal command of His Highness. Your Highness deserves all the credit."

In fact, Lu Jiusi would rather Shen Nanyan say some ordinary and caring words to him, but Shen Nanyan didn't have such thoughts. Who is Lu Jiusi? He is the emperor's most beloved youngest son. She can only cater to and flatter such a noble man. After all, her brother's future depends on Lu Jiusi.

"Today in the palace, I attributed the grenade incident to your brother. I didn't have time to discuss this with you."

"Your Highness is very thoughtful. If people knew it was done by me, it would definitely cause a sensation. Now my brother has the grenade, not only will his career be promising, but I won't be exposed. Your Highness is truly a rare talent. He is also meticulous in his work and has made excellent arrangements."

"Just don't blame me for making the decision on my own."

"Of course not. If my brother needs grenades in the future, Your Highness, just give them to him. If there are not enough, send someone to inform me."

"it is good."

Neither of them spoke again. In fact, these things were nothing. There was no need for Lu Jiusi to make a trip in person. It was just because Lu Jiusi wanted to meet Shen Nanyue.

He had said everything he needed to say, but his eyes had not left Shen Nanyan, which made Shen Nanyan feel a little uneasy.

"Why don't I arrange two people for you to protect you."

"No need. This was an accident. If Mrs. Lu dares to do this again next time, I will blow her head off."

"Ms. Lu, her brother is Lu Senquan."

"Yes, Your Highness, do you know him?"

"Yes, but I don't know him."

Lu Jiusi turned his head and glanced out the window.

"You take a rest, I'm leaving."

He had already met the person he wanted to see, so it was not appropriate for him to stay too long. After all, it was a woman's boudoir, and it was inappropriate for him to barge in like this.

"it is good."

Shen Nanyan slowly stood up with the help of her hands, holding the chair. No matter whether she wanted to send Lu Jiusi away or not, she couldn't sit here all night. As soon as she stood up, her delicate little face twisted into a ball.

Before she could recover, a pair of big hands picked her up. Shen Nanyan was startled and quickly put her arms around Lu Jiusi's neck. The next second, her whole body froze.

"Hold still, be careful."

"Thank you...thank you, Your Highness."

It was late at night and the world was quiet, a man and a woman were alone, which made the usually carefree Shen Nanyue nervous. Although they had such close contact before, they were all for reasons. This was the first time he held her in his arms. The Lu Jiusi in front of her was the man that all the women in Shangjing City yearned for, so it was reasonable for her to be nervous.

Lu Jiusi gently placed Shen Nanyue on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and wanted to reach out to touch her hair, but paused.

"Have a good rest. I'll have someone send you some medicine tomorrow. The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet will begin in a few days, so don't miss out on your outing."

"it is good."

Shen Nanyue's answer was perfunctory. She didn't want to go to any chrysanthemum viewing banquet. It was just some intrigue among rich young men and women. If she really wanted to appreciate flowers, the flowers in the garden of the Shen Mansion were already beautiful enough. However, she couldn't say what she thought in her heart, so she responded with a smile on her face. When Lu Jiusi saw this scene, he thought she was well-behaved and lovely, and he felt even happier.

Shen Nanyan didn't take this matter to heart, but the next day, before she got up, Caifu rushed in.

"Miss, hurry up...hurry up and get up. Princess Chunxi is coming to the mansion and will be in our yard soon."

"What princess?"

"My lady rarely goes out, so I don't know Princess Chunxi. Princess Chunxi is the youngest daughter of Prince Xing. She was born in her old age. I heard that she is spoiled by Prince Xing's mansion and has no law to follow. I just don't know how she came to our Shen family."

Nanny Yuan slowly helped Shen Nanyue up while explaining to her that after all, because the image that Mrs. Lu had previously created for these illegitimate sons and daughters was not good, over time they stopped going out and had no friends.

"Yes, yes, yes. I heard that Princess Chunxi kicked the third son of Minister Li's family into the lake a while ago and refused to let anyone rescue him. She just watched him thrash around in the water and only allowed him to come out after he had drunk enough water. Miss, this princess suddenly came to our house..."

"No problem, at worst we can just fight. Go get your weapons ready."

"Ah! Miss, you want to... want to hit the princess."

"If she really dares to come and bully us, we will naturally fight back. Don't be afraid."

Shen Nanyan dared to say this, but Caifu didn't dare to listen. She was the daughter of Prince Xing. Let alone beating her, she was afraid of losing her life if she even looked at her for a second longer.
