Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

After leaving the torture room, Shen Nanyue ignored the people watching around, took out her gun and fired directly at the roof. The mirror on the roof shattered with a sound, and her body instantly became colder. However, it was not Wu You who showed up, but those lonely ghosts who had gathered for a long time.

After coming out of the underground gambling house, the brothel above was already deserted. After being pulled into the carriage by Lu Jiusi, Shen Nanyue was in a bad mood. She didn't say a word and just sat there stupidly. Lu Jiusi had no idea what she was thinking. After a long time, the carriage stopped in front of the palace, and Shen Nanyue lifted the curtain to take a look.

"This is where?"

"The palace."

"Your house? What are you doing here?"

"Don't you care about Su Xinrong anymore?"

"Didn't you ask someone to send him back to the Su family?"

"Your uncle's current health is not suitable for him to go back. He needs to rest. Anyway, my house is empty and no one will disturb him. It will be convenient for you to come and visit him."

Shen Nanyan's mind was a little confused now, and she looked at Lu Jiusi hesitantly.

"What he said seems to be correct, but I always feel like something is wrong."

"That's not important. What's important is whether you want to go in and see him now."

"Yes, of course I have to go... Wait, Lu Jiusi, are you helping me like this because you want me to spare Lu Yichen?"

"What's the reason?"

"You all have the surname Lu."

"You can kill as you please. If I try to stop you, you can also kill."

Shen Nanyan tried hard to see from Lu Jiusi's face whether his words were true or not, but Lu Jiusi's eyes were firm and clear, as if he didn't tell a single lie.

"You said it, I won't let Lu Yichen go."

"If you need my help, just ask me anytime."

Shen Nanyan said nothing more and turned to get out of the carriage.

The Prince Regent's Palace is not the former Prince Huai's Palace, so the courtyard is many times larger than before, but the interior still looks the same as before, low-key and luxurious. Even in winter, you can see many dazzling plants.

Butler Zhou was also an acquaintance, and he personally took Shen Nanyan to the courtyard where Su Xinrong was staying. There was already a doctor in the courtyard treating Su Xinrong. Shen Nanyan did not say anything, but just stood at the door and watched.

The finest silver charcoal was burning brightly in the room, and there was no feeling of cold at all. The doctor lifted up Su Xinrong's torn clothes, and saw that his swollen skin was covered with wounds of various sizes, including scalds, whip wounds, and burns... Shen Nanyan couldn't imagine how Su Xinrong had survived, as he had only been away for a few days.

We can only say that he was really targeted, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be injured so badly in such a short time.

Just as Shen Nanyan's eyes were red, a hand blocked her eyes, and the tip of her nose was instantly filled with the fragrance of wood. Lu Jiusi pulled Shen Nanyan out, pressed her on the chair, and stuffed a cup of warm tea into her hand.

"Aren't you afraid?"

In fact, what Lu Jiusi cared about was that Su Xinrong's clothes were all taken off, but Shen Nanyan didn't shy away from it at all. Although he was his brother, he was also a man, but he didn't dare to say it.

"I'm afraid he'll die."

"No, the doctors here aren't as skilled as you, but they can still save his life."

"Speaking of which, why did you go to the gambling house today? Could it be that you... No, that gambling house belongs to the emperor. Is something going to happen to the Shen family?"

"You can rest assured that I am here."

"Oh."

"You're only worried about what's going to happen to the Shen family, aren't you worried about me?"

"Don't worry. You share the same surname as the emperor, and you're the regent of Nanling Kingdom. Even if he wants to kill you, he won't confront you head-on. My Shen family is different."

"The emperor secretly sent someone to kill me, don't you worry about me?"

"Although I don't know martial arts, there is no one in your house who eats free meals. Only the emperor's people can come in. What do I need to worry about? Now I am not only worried about the Shen family, but also have to take care of the Su family. Lu Yichen's move on the Su family must have been Shen Lingxi's idea. I really underestimated her."

"They are all small matters, I will handle them."

Lu Jiusi would naturally not let go of anyone who made Shen Nanyan unhappy. She was just a woman in the backyard. If he wanted her dead, it would only take a word.

"No need for now. Let me do it myself. Killing them with one knife would be too easy for them."

"Well, the New Year is almost over, and your coming-of-age ceremony will be in the spring."

Shen Nanyan was puzzled.

"Oh, why do you keep bringing this up?"

"I just suddenly remembered it."

Shen Nanyan rolled her eyes, raised her hand and drank the tea in her hand. Lu Jiusi personally filled her glass again with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Soon the doctor came out after giving Su Xinrong medicine and wrote a prescription for decoction. Shen Nanyan was still very confident about Lu Jiusi's people. She didn't even look at the prescription, but got up and went to the inner room to see Su Xinrong. Su Xinrong was already asleep at this time. Perhaps the punishment in the past few days had prevented him from closing his eyes. Even when he fell asleep, his brows were not relaxed.

After staying in the palace until the hour of Xu, Shen Nanyue got up and left. It was really too late. She was also planning to go to the Su family to tell Su Xinyuan the news that Su Xinrong was rescued, so that they could feel at ease.

But just as she got into the carriage, she bumped into someone's arms. The lingering woody fragrance made Shen Nanyan instantly realize that the person holding her was Lu Jiusi.

"You...why are you...in the carriage?"

"Send you back."

"I have Wei Ze. How can I let the dignified Regent send me off? It will take till dawn."

"Departure."

The carriage started on its way, but the speed was much slower than usual.

Shen Nanyan looked down at Lu Jiusi's big hand that was restraining her waist, then looked up at him. Lu Jiusi lowered his eyes, and their eyes met. The close distance made Shen Nanyan's heart beat so fast that she hurriedly lowered her head in panic.

"Your Majesty, you can let me down now."

"It's cold at night, it's warmer this way."

"I'm not cold."

"I am cold."

"It's cold...so why did you come out? Your house is as warm as spring, but you insist on coming out to feel the cold wind. You're just forcing yourself to suffer."

"Shen Nanyan, you..."

"What am I?"

If Shen Nanyan hadn't reached marriage age yet, Lu Jiusi really wanted to block her mouth with a kiss. Even though it was so obvious, she didn't seem to feel anything at all.

"Are you cold?"

"It's winter, who wouldn't be cold? It's a little late, and I wanted to go see big brother."

"Anything else?"

"My second brother has been rescued. I have to tell him so that he can feel at ease. But I can't tell my uncle and aunt yet. If they want to see my second brother now, I'm afraid they will cry again."

"Go back without worry. I'll send someone to inform the Su family that Su Xinrong has been accepted into my service and has joined the military camp. I'll go back to visit my family in a few days."

"This is a lie. You'll have to tell a hundred more lies to cover it up."

"What if it's true?"

"You really have to help your second brother join the military camp, but what if he doesn't want to?"

"He lost your money, sold your shop, and failed to live up to your expectations. Does he have any other choice?"

"So... there's nothing wrong with joining the military camp, Lu Jiusi. I find you're quite smart sometimes."

"It's so rare for Miss Shen to praise me."

Lu Jiusi lowered his head and approached Shen Nanyan. Shen Nanyan, who had been in high spirits just now, immediately lowered her head and tried to break free, but Lu Jiusi hugged her even tighter, and his upright nose rubbed Shen Nanyan's fragrant hair, and he was completely intoxicated by it.
