Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Fortunately, after these cities were settled, Lu Jiusi was ready to return to the capital. However, he didn't know whether they could meet again after returning to Beijing, what reason they could meet, and whether it would scare her if he said he liked her.

Thinking that he would return to Beijing as soon as possible, Lu Jiusi didn't seem to feel so bad anymore.

"Oh, there's something I don't understand."

"what?"

Lu Jiusi took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Nanyan. Shen Nanyan took a look at it and didn't refuse. She reached out to take it and wiped her mouth.

"The Lord of Yongyang City, Cao... no... Lei Wanjin, you were almost out of food outside the city. Why didn't you ask him for it? He had food."

"It's not that I won't move. I'll naturally look for him when I run out of food. It's just that I don't want to move him until the very end."

"Why?"

"He's the prince's man. Most of his food and silver belong to the prince. Do you think he won't do anything if I go to him to ask for food?"

"The Crown Prince is hoarding grain... Is this... is he planning a rebellion?"

"I have this intention, but I can't do it for now."

"He's already the crown prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Since it's his, I... forget it. I won't say anything more."

Shen Nanyan originally wanted to say that she wanted to take all of Lei Wanjin's gold and silver, but if Lu Jiusi said that whoever saw it would get a share, then she would lose a lot of money. If she moved everything away quietly, Lu Jiusi would not get even a single ounce of silver, so she suddenly didn't want to say it anymore.

"Do you have any idea?"

"I didn't. What else could I think about? I've finished my porridge. You can go now."

Shen Nanyan stood up and walked quickly into the house. Just as she was about to close the door, Lu Jiusi suddenly came in.

"What are you doing?"

"What's the conspiracy? Tell me."

"I do not have."

"I do not believe."

"You...I...you're so annoying. I can tell you what you want, but this has nothing to do with you. You didn't contribute anything, and you can't ask for anything from me. Do you agree?"

Shen Nanyan turned around and sat at the table, supporting her head with one hand.

"Don't mention it, just say it."

"I want all of Lei Wanjin's silver."

Lu Jiusi didn't say anything, but a dazzling smile appeared on his stunning face.

"Then I..."

"Shut up! I told you not to make demands."

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to steal your silver. I'm just asking you...your little fairy to take all their food and supplies."

"Oh, I didn't realize you were so treacherous. I'll take the silver and you'll take the food. This way, the prince won't be left with nothing. I think that's fine. Do you want a beautiful woman? I heard that there are many young women in Lei Wanjin's mansion, all of them are as beautiful as flowers. If this..."

"No."

Lu Jiusi refused without any hesitation.

"No? You don't think it's dirty, do you? That's right, you are of noble status, even if you are just a bed warmer, you should be clean. Forget it, then just take what we want. We will leave tonight, do you want to go?"

Lu Jiusi wanted to explain it clearly, but Shen Nanyan changed the subject in an instant, so he could only swallow back what he wanted to say.

"go."

At midnight, Lu Jiusi took Shen Nanyan out of the city quietly and ran wildly towards the mountains ten miles away. Shen Nanyan's silky black hair was blown up and lightly brushed against Lu Jiusi's cheek, which made him feel itchy but also unusually at ease. He liked the feeling of Shen Nanyan nestling in his arms, as if he was her closest person.

They had to cross five cities to return to Yongyang City. If they rode horses, it would probably take a whole night to get there, so they chose to fly. It took less than half an hour for them to reach the outside of Yongyang City. Because the guards stationed there were all Lu Jiusi's men, they entered the city smoothly and went straight to Lei Wanjin's mansion.

After entering the Lei Mansion, Shen Nanyan muttered for a long time about the luxury inside. Even a random flower in the garden would probably cost a poor family a year.

"Wu You is coming out, don't be afraid."

"it is good."

Shen Nanyan clenched her palms, then opened them, waiting for Wu You to come out, but the temperature around her body just felt a little cool, and instantly returned to its previous warmth.

This was the first time Shen Nanyan encountered such a situation. She was full of confusion, and Lu Jiusi had no idea what was going on.

So Shen Nanyan clenched her palms again.

【What’s wrong with you?】

【Why is he by your side?】

What happened?

[He has an imperial aura that will suppress me, and I can't get out.]

[Huh? What should I do? I'll let him go.]

Of course Lu Jiusi refused to agree after finding out. How could he feel at ease leaving Shen Nanyan alone in Lei Wanjin's mansion? What if something happened? At this moment he even hated his identity. If he clashed with her little ghost, Shen Nanyan would definitely abandon him, just like now, Shen Nanyan directly told him to leave.

He doesn't want to leave. Never mind, let him go back. I'll come back by myself another day.

[Now that I'm here, there's a solution, but I don't know if he's willing.]

【What? 】

[Let him drip a drop of blood onto your palm. However, this way, he will be able to see me from now on. No one knows if there are any other circumstances.]

Discouraged, Shen Nanyan sat down in a pavilion, feeling uneasy because Wu You said there were uncertainties and unknowns, and she didn't want to have such an intersection with Lu Jiusi.

"Let's go back."

"Don't you want the silver?"

"Forget it, let's go."

"No, that's not like you. You just refuse all that money. Don't you regret it?"

"no."

As she spoke, Shen Nanyan raised her hand and rubbed her nose.

"You're hiding it again. Come on, tell me."

"I told you, you're Wu You's enemy, she can't get out."

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, I don't want to."

"what?"

"I said I don't want to."

"You tell me first."

"I want you to drip a drop of blood into my palm, but you will see her in the future, and there are still unknown things that we don't know. No one can tell. What if I kill you? I will be executed along with my entire clan. If you want to die, don't harm me."

"I am willing."

"I do not want to."

"I'm willing. I can sign a life and death agreement."

"Don't be so funny."

In the dark night, a cold light flashed before Shen Nanyan's eyes. Shen Nanyan realized what Lu Jiusi was going to do and immediately reached out to stop him.

"You do not want……"

But the next second, Shen Nanyan felt something warm in her palm, it was Lu Jiusi's blood.

"What are you doing? I told you not to."

It doesn't matter whether he can see Wu You or not, and he doesn't know what unknown things will happen. Lu Jiusi just wants to be connected with Shen Nanyan. He even suspects that Wu You's existence is harmful to Shen Nanyan, so he wants to be with her to see if he can help her block something.

"It's not important, I..."

Before the two of them finished their conversation, a beam of brilliant light emanated from Shen Nanyan's palm. Lu Jiusi was worried that something might happen to Shen Nanyan, so he quickly held her little hand in his palm.

In just a blink of an eye, the light meandered straight into the night, like a colorful silk thread flying into the night sky. About half an incense stick later, the silk-like light fell back, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.
