Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Although Shen Yunzhi kept asking Shen Nanyan to leave, Shen Nanyan still stubbornly refused to follow his arrangements. It was not until Shen Yunzhi's condition became worse and worse, with a high fever and dizziness lying on the bed, that Shen Nanyan forced him to have an IV drip.

Shen Nanyan did not hide anything in front of her brother. Shen Yunzhi looked at these strange things, then looked at Shen Nanyan, and finally did not ask a single question.

As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Yunzhi's plague was finally under control. Qingying had also rushed back by then. Lu Jiusi came in with the antidote, but was pushed out by Shen Nanyue. This was a plague, and one could be infected if not careful. Although there was a prescription, and it might be best not to be infected, Lu Jiusi was unwilling to go out.

"My health is not as bad as you think. Give the medicine to your brother and come back with me to rest. Otherwise, how will you take care of him when he wakes up tomorrow?"

"It's okay, I'll stay here tonight."

"I've arranged for a doctor to come. Come back with me."

"No."

"Be obedient and come early tomorrow. I will never stop you. Otherwise, you are not allowed to stop me from staying here with you."

Shen Nanyan glared at Lu Jiusi, reached out to grab the medicine from his hand, turned around and gave it to Shen Yunzhi.

After a day of diagnosis and treatment, Shen Yunzhi's condition has improved. Now he has taken the antidote and should be much better tomorrow. After the doctor on duty arrived, Shen Nanyue was taken away by Lu Jiusi.

However, the two did not return to their residence, but went to the prison of the yamen. The weather outside had begun to warm up in April and May, but there were gusts of cold wind in the prison. Lu Jiusi put a black cloak on Shen Nanyue's shoulders.

As soon as I entered the prison, I saw two people, one big and one small, hanging in the middle of the huge room. They were beaten all over and their skin was torn and blood was dripping down their toes.

"Your Majesty."

"Have you been recruited?"

"They did confess, but they didn't seem to know the man. They just said that he was dressed elegantly, like a young master from a wealthy family. He gave them a bag of silver and had them taken into the city. After identifying General Shen, they let them go and commit the crime. The poison needle in the child's hand was also provided by the person who gave him the silver, so they probably only did it for the money."

Xiao Yichen's methods were extremely deadly. Even under such punishment, they did not confess. It was almost certain that the grandfather and grandson did not know the mastermind.

"The whole city is on lockdown, and even those who were wrongly killed must not be let off."

"Yes."

"Wait, there's no need to be so troublesome, Mr. Xiao, please evacuate everyone."

Xiao Yichen's eyes unconsciously wanted to look at Lu Jiusi, but he didn't dare to look at her openly, for fear that Shen Nanyan would be unhappy. If Shen Nanyan was unhappy, Lu Jiusi would definitely be angry, so Xiao Yichen didn't know who to listen to for a while.

"Yan'er, do you have a solution?"

"Wu You can help."

After hearing what Shen Nanyue said, Lu Jiusi didn't hesitate any longer and nodded to Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen felt relieved and quickly turned around to withdraw all the guards. Before he turned around, he felt a chill all over his body, and the chill was very biting.

At this moment, Shen Nanyan was already standing in front of the child, but she was not directly opposite the child. The child had a dull expression, and his eyes were wide open staring blankly at the front, as if something in front of him was attracting him, and his soul had been controlled by Wu You. Wu You was searching through his memory for every person they had contact with. After about an incense stick of time, the child suddenly regained his composure, and he cried out "Wow..." with extreme fear and timidity in his eyes.

At the same time, Shen Nanyan's face turned cold.

"Heal them and let them go."

"what's the situation?"

"It's Shen Yunyi."

"Xiao..."

"No, don't worry about this matter, let me do it myself."

After she finished speaking, Shen Nanyan walked away. Lu Jiusi knew her temper and hurriedly followed her, leaving Xiao Yichen alone standing there in a daze.

Along the way, neither of them spoke, and Shen Nanyan's emotions gradually stabilized. Now, whether she was angry or hated was not the most important thing. As long as Shen Yunzhi was fine, everything else could be taken care of slowly.

The next morning, Lu Jiusi did not stop Shen Nanyan. After helping her get dressed and wash up, he went with her to the place where Shen Yunzhi was placed. Perhaps because of the timely treatment yesterday, Shen Yunzhi was in good condition today and all the poison in his body had been eliminated. He was just a little weak. After taking his pulse, Shen Nanyan's face warmed up a lot, no longer as cold as in the morning.

"Brother, you'll be fine after a few days of rest. Be careful from now on and don't let strangers get close to you. You should always be on guard against others."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

"That's good to know. I'll be back tomorrow."

"Are you scared?"

"Yes, it's too dangerous here. I'm scared to death. I haven't lived enough."

"Then I'll have Wei Ze bring people to take you back to Beijing tomorrow."

"No need, I... the prince has already arranged for someone to take me there."

Shen Yunzhi glanced at Lu Jiusi who was sitting next to him, pursed his lips and said nothing more, but he knew in his heart that his sister would not listen to him.

The brother and sister talked for a while, then Lu Jiusi stood up and walked over, pulling Shen Nanyan up.

"Go back and rest first. I have something to talk to your brother about."

"You...he's not fully recovered yet."

Shen Nanyan probably guessed what Lu Jiusi was going to say.

"It's just a few words, how can it hurt him? Believe me."

Lu Jiusi's face was gentle and his eyes were smiling. Shen Nanyue also knew that he would not hurt her brother, so after saying goodbye to Shen Yunzhi, she walked out the door.

Since Shen Yunzhi already knew about the two of them, Lu Jiusi didn't want to hide it anymore and spoke directly.

"I've already informed the elders of the Shen family. I'll come and propose marriage when I return to Beijing."

"I appreciate your support, Your Highness. However, Yan'er is still young. Please...please find someone else."

"I know what you're worried about. First, I, Lu Jiusi, will only marry Shen Nanyan in this life. Second, the poison in my body will soon be cured. Third, I'm marrying her simply because I love her, for no other reason. I could have gotten you, or the Shen family, to accept it in a different way. The only reason I want your consent is out of respect for her family. So, whether you agree or not, I will marry her, and no one can change this decision."

Lu Jiusi's words were full of respect, but also carried an irreversible oppression. He didn't want Shen Nanyue to be caught in the middle because of anyone, so even if Shen Yunzhi was her brother, it wouldn't change anything.

"I'm not against it, I'm just worried that Yan'er won't be happy in the future. Since Your Highness said so, you must have thought it through carefully. I'm willing to believe Your Highness. I only hope that Your Highness can treat Yan'er with sincerity and kindness. I will follow you until death."

These words made Lu Jiusi's brows relax and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

"I will definitely not let her down!"
