One touch and one silence

Nan Chen left in a hurry, leaving the Queen and Nan Shu stunned.

I don’t know what the purpose of the prince’s visit is.

When the prince went out, he held the folding fan in his hand, suppressed his anger, and left the queen's palace.

Nanzhi had not seen the prince again until all the royal people set out to leave the temporary palace and return to the palace.

Except for Nanshu coming over occasionally, Nanzhi was extremely bored and had long lost the interest he had at the beginning.

She felt dizzy from riding in the carriage, and she suddenly admired those who read books in the carriage.

Cow!

Nanzhi thought she would go directly back to the Taoist temple, but the emperor's men came to tell them that they had to go back together.

She was completely speechless and tears were streaming down her face.

At this moment, she hated herself so much. Why did she get so excited and curious that she had to come and see it? Now she is fine!

You must be confused!

I have to go back to the cage in Guanhuang Palace!

Nanzhi never expected that she would receive bad news when they were only halfway through their journey.

Liu in the cold palace hanged herself.

Nanzhi's first reaction was disbelief, because no one knew better than her that this woman's heart was on the Eighth Prince, and she was thinking that if her beloved son inherited the throne, she could also become the Queen Mother. There was no way she would commit suicide.

How could she die so easily?

Besides, Yue Xiang, who was beside her, hadn't taken the throne yet? The two of them hadn't fought yet? How could she have hanged herself?

Nanzhi absolutely didn't believe it.

She thought to herself that she had to go back quickly to find out what the reason was.

Nan Shu has been with Nan Zhi every day these days. Even the prince, who has not appeared for a long time, comes to talk to her from time to time and even returns the storybook to her.

They all thought Nanzhi was sad.

In fact, Nanzhi was just bored, uninterested, and sad? Not really!

To put it bluntly, this person was just a stranger to her. To use the words of her previous life, he could even be said to be someone who bullied her.

Make her sad? That's impossible!

If it were my original self, it would be normal to feel sad.

Something seemed to flash through her mind, and before she could think about it, Nan Shujiu pulled her and said, "Don't be sad, Xiaoqi. You will have me, the crown prince, mother, and father in the future."

"We will all treat you well." After saying that, he leaned his head on Nanzhi's shoulder.

Nanzhi always felt like she had missed something, but she just couldn't remember it.

What exactly was missed?

Nanzhi smiled knowingly when she heard Nanshu's words, "Okay! You said that!"

"Once this princess speaks, she cannot take back her words!"

Nan Shu raised his head and patted his chest to assure her, and Nan Zhi then smiled and pulled her hand away.

"understood!"

In the remaining days, Nan Shu would make Nan Zhi happy from time to time, and he even hadn't thought about that man for a long time.

When I returned to the palace, it was already half a month later. Although the weather was still very hot, there were many ice basins, so it was not so bad.

The journey was smooth and nothing else happened.

Nanzhi was taken directly to the Eastern Palace by the Crown Prince because many things in the prince's residence were gone, and it was inconvenient for Nanzhi to live there.

In fact, the prince was afraid that Nanzhi would be uncomfortable and sad, so he placed her in his territory so that he could watch her all the time.

Nanzhi was unhappy because she had to go back to the palace again. She really didn't like it here.

However, others mistakenly believed that she was sad because of her mother's death.

I have to say, this is such a beautiful misunderstanding.

The first thing Nanzhi went to see when she returned to the palace. Originally, the prince wanted to go with her, but was finally called away by the emperor's men.

The prince left Li as steward and took the two of them to the cold palace.

As soon as she entered, Nanzhi felt a deep chill and she shivered.

It's hot outside, but very cold inside.

When I went in, I found that the room was filled with ice basins. They should be used to temporarily keep the body from rotting. Perhaps it was for Nanzhi to see him for the last time.

Nanzhi looked at the woman lying on the bed. Her face was pale without a trace of blood, and her cheeks were much thinner. She must have not had a good time in the cold palace. The most noticeable thing was the deep mark on her neck, which was a scary purple bruise.

The woman was wearing the same palace dress she had worn the last time Nanzhi went to see her.

I guess he likes it very much.

His hands were placed in front of his chest, and he no longer had the arrogant look he had before.

Nanzhi didn’t know what was going on in her mind, she just felt that human life was worthless in this palace.

Even though this woman gave birth to two children for the emperor, she still ended up like this, and it did not leave the slightest trace in the emperor's heart.

Nanzhi gently picked up the woman's hand and looked at her nails carefully. They were clean and there was nothing else on them.

In her mind, she saw that the last fragment of the woman was that she was asleep.

He never woke up again.

As for how he ended up hanging on the beam while he was asleep, it was obvious that he was hung there by someone.

As for why he slept so soundly, it’s obvious that he was drugged.

Who would kill a woman who had been sent to the cold palace and was disliked by the emperor?

Nanzhi couldn't understand.

Liu Yue stood aside, watching Nanzhi's frown and looking at the hand thoughtfully.

"Your Highness, have you noticed any problem?"

Nanzhi put his hand back expressionlessly, "Go back!"

Liu Yue didn't understand, but didn't ask any more questions.

Nanzhi did not go back, but actually walked to the palace where Concubine Liu used to live. When she got there, none of the servants inside looked familiar to her.

Nanzhi casually called over a maid who was cleaning the house and asked, "Where is the wet nurse that your queen used to be with?"

The maid respectfully bowed to Nanzhi and said, "Your Highness, I don't know! Since the Queen was banished to the cold palace, I haven't seen that nanny again."

This made Nanzhi even more curious.

Nanzhi waved her hand and asked people to leave. It was her first time entering the hall, and many things inside were gone.

There should have been some objects placed on it, but now many of them are empty. They must have been taken away. Looking at the deserted Yuelin Palace, Nanzhi didn't know what to do for a moment.

The original body had come here only a few times.

This time, however, was the longest time she stayed there. She left without seeing anything useful.

Halfway through the walk, Nanzhi said to the steward Li beside him, "Staff Li, could you please help me find Concubine Liu's maid Yuexiang and her wet nurse? I want to ask you something."

After receiving the seventh prince's instructions, Steward Li left.

Nanzhi took Liuyue with him and walked aimlessly in the deep palace.

What I was thinking was, who would want to kill a woman who was banished to the cold palace and had no love?

What was the reason for killing her?

Is it the Zhennan King's people, or someone else's people? Or Qin Shuyuan's people?

For a moment, Nanzhi was a little confused.

The death of this corpse was inexplicable, and she was killed in her sleep, so the last scene she saw was the scene of a woman lying on the bed and sleeping.

Nanzhi was just planning to go to Linyue Palace to see Xiaoba, when she happened to see Shuhua with red eyes and a bundle in his hand.

The two of them collided head-on.

"Shuhua, what are you doing in Linyue Palace?"

Nanzhi was a little curious. She looked up at Shuhua and wiped away her tears in panic. It was the first time she saw such a sad look. Why was this little girl so sad!

"Your Highness!"

"I wanted to come and see my fellow countrymen, but... they said that my fellow countrymen had died a long time ago!"
