One touch and one silence

"Alright! I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep now, Your Highness."

Nanzhi ignored their grateful looks and went straight to bed.

I am really tired today. I have traveled a long distance and walked around the palace for a long time.

Nanzhi fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

The master of the East Palace can't sleep right now.

The prince had just returned from the imperial study, thinking about his father's rage in the study today.

The woman is dead, but the person behind her has not been led out yet. No one knows whether she was silenced by the person behind her or for some other reason, but no trace of her can be found at all.

Moreover, the recent deaths in the palace have made the emperor very angry, and even the queen was scolded.

The prince is naturally not much better.

Nanchen sat in a chair, thinking about what had happened recently. He always felt that something was happening behind the scenes.

Their methods were extremely cautious and left no clues.

Now it's probably the Eighth Prince, and Yuexiang and her accomplices.

The clue lies in these three people.

Nanchen sighed deeply, tonight was destined to be another sleepless night.

When Nanzhi woke up the next day, it was already too late. She had slept in a deep sleep the night before, and her mind was full of various scenes of her original self's childhood.

When she was awakened by Shuhua, her head hurt a little. Nanzhi pressed her palm on her forehead, trying to relieve the headache.

It doesn't seem to have much effect.

Shuhua saw that Nanzhi seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so she asked softly, "Master, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to go and get the imperial physician?"

Nanzhi waved his hands, looking weak and exhausted.

"Is there anything to do today?"

"If not, Your Highness needs to rest. Don't call me if you don't have anything else."

After saying that, he pulled the quilt and lay down again.

After lying down, she did not feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, her mind was particularly clear. Fragments of information in Concubine Liu's mind kept playing out in Nanzhi's mind.

It was hard for her to ignore.

Concubine Liu!

Moon fragrance!

Concubine Liu’s wet nurse?

Among the three, only Yuexiang is still alive. If the person behind Concubine Liu is Prince Zhennan, she and Yuexiang should be on the same front?

Then who killed her?

Who does her wet nurse belong to? What role does she play in this?

Before Nanzhi could think clearly, calligraphy and painting came in again.

"Your Highness! Butler Li is here and he wants to see you for something important!"

Nanzhi sat up from the bed. Thinking of her instructions yesterday, she quickly put on her clothes, washed up casually, and went out to meet Manager Li.

"Has Manager Li found out?"

Steward Li saw that the prince in front of him looked a little bad, so he greeted him with concern.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself. If you have any problem, just come to me directly. Before the master goes to court, tell me what you need and let me and others obey your orders."

"Nothing, it's just that maybe I suddenly changed places last night, so I didn't sleep well."

"Have you found the person I asked you to look for?"

"To reply to Your Highness, Miss Yuexiang has been found. The wet nurse also died a few days before Concubine Liu died. She drowned."

As Steward Li spoke, he studied the Seventh Prince's expression.

Nanzhi sat down feeling a little uncomfortable. Did the nanny die? Or did she die before that guy? Or did she drown?

"Was that nanny's accident or man-made?" Nanzhi asked again with a grim expression.

"He was probably drunk and walking unsteadily, so he fell into the water."

"According to the eunuch who fished it out, it reeked of alcohol when it was pulled out."

"Have you checked what happened that made this person drink so suddenly? And get drunk?"

Nanzhi's questions came one after another, and Manager Li was a little overwhelmed.

"This... I don't know. I heard that this person has always been alone. Apart from Concubine Liu, he has no contact with anyone else."

When Nan Shu heard this, he roughly understood it.

"Okay, Your Highness understands. Go and bring Yuexiang here. I have a few words to ask her."

"Yes! Old slave, go now!"

After saying this, she left with the eunuch.

Nanzhi sat in the chair, dazed.

Shuhua and Shuyue didn't dare to go forward to disturb them and just stood quietly aside.

About an hour later, Manager Li arrived with his men.

"Your Highness has brought someone here!"

Steward Li waved to the people behind him, and saw two eunuchs and a palace maid coming over.

Ever since Yuexiang knew that the Seventh Prince wanted to see her, she had been worried all the way, fearing that the Seventh Prince would take revenge on her for something that happened in the past.

"Greetings...Greetings to the Seventh Prince!"

Yuexiang's voice trembled with fear.

"Raise your head!" Nanzhi's tone was light, but it carried an unquestionable tone.

"Yeah! I haven't seen you for three months. Yuexiang, you've changed a lot?"

Nanzhi looked at the girl, she looked much more haggard than the last time he saw her. The spirit in her body was gone.

"Where were you before Concubine Liu died?"

"I...I helped Concubine Liu to sleep, then I went back. After washing up, I also went to sleep!"

Yuexiang stammered, then knelt on the ground, lowered her head and stopped talking.

At this time, Nanzhi walked up to Yuexiang, raised his hand and gently lifted the girl's chin.

His eyes were scrutinizing, and his eyes were staring straight at Yuexiang.

"You didn't hear anything at all?"

"I didn't hear any noise, really. It was raining that night, so Concubine went to bed earlier than usual."

Nanzhi released his grip on the girl's chin and returned to his seat with his hands behind his back.

She had seen it just now, and it was exactly as she had said, but she had seen something else as well.

About the wet nurse beside Concubine Liu, and things related to herself.

"You must be familiar with Concubine Liu's wet nurse. Do you know her whereabouts?"

Nanzhi's tone was so slow and leisurely that it was hard to understand her purpose.

"To reply to your Highness, I heard that she drank too much and drowned!"

Yuexiang didn't understand why the Seventh Prince, who hadn't been seen for several months, had a different aura.

It seemed as if he was not the same person as the previous Seventh Prince. She wondered in her heart, even if he fell into the water, his temperament would not change so drastically?

"You know a lot. At the beginning, there were only two of you around Concubine Liu. Now she is gone, and the nanny is gone too. What do you think now?"

Nanzhi was playing with the teacup in her hand, her tone nonchalant, but her eyes didn't even glance at the maid kneeling on the ground.

Yue Xiang didn't understand what the Seventh Prince meant, so she had to kneel on the ground respectfully, "I will listen to the Seventh Prince!"

Nanzhi was playing with the teacup in his hand, and suddenly put it down.

"In that case, you should go and take care of the Eighth Prince! I will go and talk to Qin Shuyuan on your behalf. Take good care of the Eighth Prince in the future, understand?"

Nanzhi's tone was very light, but it still scared Yuexiang so much that she nodded repeatedly.

"I understand! I will definitely listen to your Highness and take good care of the Eighth Prince."

Yuexiang never thought that those people failed to fulfill her previous request, but now the Seventh Prince inadvertently facilitated this matter.
