The night was quiet. Sheng Nanzhi dismissed the servants early on the pretext of wanting to read quietly for a while and then go to bed early. She secretly thought that if Shi Huaizhi really didn't come, she would go to Shi Huaizhi's place.

After all, Shi Huaizhi was injured while saving her, so it seemed inappropriate for her to just ignore it.

After waiting for half an hour, no one knocked on the window.

Sheng Nanzhi frowned, walked to the window, reached out and pushed it open, muttering to herself, if she had known that there would be a day when she would have to climb out the window by herself, she would not have chosen the attic.

The attic is still a bit high, and it is really not very convenient to go in and out.

As I was thinking about it, I saw a face enlarged in front of me.

Sheng Nanzhi was startled and took two steps back before she saw clearly that the person coming was Shi Huaizhi, whom she had been talking about.

Shi Huaizhi was hanging upside down under the eaves outside her window, looking particularly terrifying.

"What are you...doing?" Sheng Nanzhi patted his chest, feeling that his heart was still pounding.

Shi Huaizhi jumped into the house with drooping eyelids: "I want to come in and see you, but I'm afraid you don't want to see me."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled: "Why shouldn't I want to see you?"

"You didn't do anything wrong."

Shi Huaizhi raised his eyes and looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Although he didn't say anything, Sheng Nanzhi suddenly understood what he wanted to express.

She couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her lower back.

"..."

Well, although Shi Huaizhi didn't provoke her today, it's better not to do anything about what happened that day again.

Although... it is undeniable that Shi Huaizhi is indeed very powerful, and he has indeed made her feel a happiness she has never felt before.

But...her waist really can't take it.

She immediately changed the subject: "How is your injury? Let me take a look."

"The doctor has bandaged it tightly, so you can't see anything." Shi Huaizhi said this, but his hands almost immediately untied the laces of his clothes.

“…” Sheng Nanzhi’s eyelashes trembled, and she found it a little funny.

Shi Huaizhi quickly took off his clothes, turned around and faced Sheng Nanzhi with his back.

Just as Shi Huaizhi said, the doctor bandaged the wound tightly, and only the snow-white gauze could be seen, and nothing else could be seen.

Sheng Nanzhi glanced at Shi Huaizhi. Looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

"Well, just take good care of it for the next two days."

Shi Huaizhi responded and sat down beside the bed, but he didn't put on the clothes he had just taken off. "I've asked someone to investigate. The man changed his appearance. He must have been bribed to sneak into the mansion, disguised himself as the mansion's gardener, and waited for an opportunity to act."

Sheng Nanzhi nodded, not surprised: "Is it Sheng Qingqian's people?"

Shi Huaizhi looked at her in surprise: "Yes."

"Sheng Qingqian must have truly gone mad. She hooked up with the jailer in the Sky Prison. When the jailer interrogated her, she took the opportunity to have sex with him. She then used him to pass on several letters."

"In the letter, she told her people to find ways to sneak into Prince Yi's mansion and kill you at all costs."

Sheng Nanzhi was shocked and repeated Shi Huaizhi's words in disbelief: "He seduced the jailer in the prison and had sex with her? He used it to pass the letter out, just to kill me?"

"Yes."

Sheng Nanzhi found it a little ridiculous. How did she and Sheng Qingqian become like this?

"understood."

Shi Huaizhi looked at Sheng Nanzhi, his Adam's apple rolling slightly.

Although Sheng Nanzhi's face did not show any extra emotions, he inexplicably felt that she was sad.

Thinking about what happened at the gate of the mansion today, Shi Huaizhi couldn't help but feel a flash of heartache in his eyes.

Sheng Nanzhi probably still hopes for the care of her relatives and longs for family affection.

But unfortunately, none of her relatives are good people.

"She's determined to kill you. She's completely possessed. You can't let her stay."

"It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. If your guards let down their guard even a little one day, it would be dangerous."

"I'll find a way to get this matter reported to the emperor."

Sheng Nanzhi took a deep breath and said, "I want to go to the palace in person tomorrow."

"Although on the surface, it seems that Sheng Qingqian is the mastermind behind this incident, it was actually caused by Wen Tingyun."

"Wen Tingyun proposed to Your Majesty before. Although I rejected her, there's no guarantee that she wouldn't resort to other tactics and schemes. What if one day, Your Majesty directly issues an imperial decree ordering me to marry her..."

Shi Huaizhi's face suddenly darkened. What if one day?

No, that day will never come.

If the emperor wanted to marry Sheng Nanzhi to Wen Tingyun, he wouldn't mind and would just overturn the empire.

Sheng Nanzhi didn't know what Shi Huaizhi was thinking, so she continued, "Because of Wen Tingyun's proposal, I almost lost my life. Naturally, I have to personally report this matter to His Majesty so that His Majesty and Wen Tingyun can give up this idea."

She has made up her mind.

If the emperor and Wen Tingyun were unwilling to express their opinions, she would directly threaten them with death.

Moreover, she could take advantage of the opportunity to step on Wen Tingyun again and find a way to take his life!

Shi Huaizhi wanted to tell Sheng Nanzhi that no matter when, she could hide behind him and he would definitely protect her.

But she knew in her heart that Sheng Nanzhi was not a dodder who depended on others. She was smarter and more determined than ordinary women.

If he treated Sheng Nanzhi as an ordinary woman, he would probably not get any good results from her.

All he had to do was respect.

At most, I would always stand behind her and take action according to her requirements when she needed it.

Shi Huaizhi's Adam's apple rolled and he took a deep breath: "Okay."

Sheng Nanzhi took a look at Shi Huaizhi's tight upper body and sighed deeply. Shi Huaizhi always seemed weak just by looking at his face, but his figure was really good.

Of course, the physical strength is also really good.

It was so good that even she, who grew up in the countryside, found it a bit too much to bear.

Can his concubines really bear it?

Sheng Nanzhi bit her lip and coughed lightly: "The wound is not visible, you should put on some clothes. Although it is summer, it is still very dewy. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I'm going to sleep, you go back."

Shi Huaizhi paused slightly, lowered his eyes, and looked at Sheng Nanzhi aggrievedly.

"My shoulder is injured. I just came down from the roof and hung upside down by hooking my feet onto the beams."

“It’s really not convenient to go down.”

"Yuan Bao and Chi Xiao are both away tonight due to some matters. Can I sleep here with you for the night?"

"Tomorrow morning, when Yuanbao and Chixiao come back, I'll ask them to pick me up."

"The wound hurts..."
