One touch and one silence

Meixiang pondered for a long time before saying something.

Shuhua gnashed his teeth and said, "Okay! If you are lying to me, when the Seventh Prince finds me, even if I die, you will not be able to escape!"

Meixiang sneered and didn't care at all.

"Why doesn't your fellow countryman say anything?" Meixiang said this while staring at Shuhua, trying to read something from her face.

When Shuhua heard this, he felt disheartened and as if he had no strength left in his body. He sat down on the ground, his eyes red and filled with tears.

"It's my fault too. I didn't mean to say it at the beginning, and she was curious. I had been holding it in my heart for a long time, so long that I was almost going crazy."

"She kept asking, so I told you. I'm sure you know that we are both slaves. In this palace, the last thing we lack is eunuchs and palace maids. Our lives are the least valuable things."

"So! I told her that she must not tell anyone about this and must keep it in her heart. I made her swear before I told her. I felt much better after I told her. If I had known this... If I had known this, even if she kept pestering me, I would have gritted my teeth and would not tell her a single word!"

"It was me who hurt Yuanyuan. It was me! Wuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Shuhua lay on the ground crying in pain and expressing endless regret.

Meixiang stared at her expression for a long time and felt that she was not lying.

So who are the "own people" she is talking about?

It can't be that person!

You have to know that the imperial concubine is her niece!

However, the other part of his words also made sense. Over the years, the Imperial Concubine had been gradually drifting away from the Empress Dowager. They were no longer as close as before, and she had started to act insincerely in front of the Empress Dowager. She had seen this.

The Queen Mother definitely wants her own son to sit on that position. Is the Imperial Concubine willing to give up the throne?

"Have you never told your prince about this?" Meixiang's sudden words stunned Shuhua for a moment, but she reacted quickly.

"No, His Highness almost died. Besides, are you afraid that he won't die fast enough?"

Meixiang smiled.

"That's true!"

"I hope what you said is true. Otherwise, even if the Seventh Prince protects you, the Imperial Concubine will not let you go!"

"Your fellow countryman died at the hands of a beast, but don't worry, I also killed him, otherwise I wouldn't be here today!"

After saying that, Meixiang leaned over to Shuhua's ear and whispered softly, "Don't worry, that beast died miserably. He was in agony for an hour before he died."

After saying that, Meixiang picked up the dagger on the ground and directly cut the rope that bound the calligraphy and paintings.

"The body of your fellow countryman is in the dry well in the west courtyard of the cold palace. As for the body of the old eunuch, I have already fed it to the dogs!"

When Meixiang said the first half of the sentence, her tone was still calm, but she said the second half with gritted teeth.

No matter how stupid Shuhua was, he understood that this man had a grudge against the murderer who killed Yuanyuan.

Meixiang walked out directly and paused at the door.

"That silver hairpin was the weapon she used to commit suicide. I heard she was smiling when she died."

Meixiang did not tell anyone that Yuanyuan had been insulted.

The person is dead, the dead are the greatest, and he has also eliminated an enemy for himself.

She is willing to be a kind person.

It was already the next day when Shuhua returned to the East Palace. Nanzhi didn't see Shuhua in the morning. After asking, she learned that he had gone to Linyue Palace yesterday and had not returned.

Shuhua arrived at Nanzhi's yard and saw her master walking out in a hurry.

Nanzhi saw that Shuhua was safe and sound. He pulled Shuhua's arm and looked at it in front of him. Only after confirming that he was not injured did he feel relieved.

"Where have you been? You scared your Highness to death. I searched the entire Eastern Palace and was about to go to the Linyue Palace. Fortunately, you're back!"

"What's going on? Are you in trouble?"

Nanzhi's tone was anxious, and she was afraid that Shuhua would be bullied. After all, she had just offended the Fourth Prince.

Shuhua bowed to Nanzhi and said, "It's Shuhua's fault. I heard the news about my fellow villager yesterday and forgot the time!"

The expression on Shuhua's face could be said to be flawless, but Liu Yue still discovered something.

She smelled the scent of knockout drugs on Shuhua's body, as well as a faint stench.

The secret guards' noses are much more powerful than those of ordinary people. When they are training, there is a special section for training on this medicine.

The owner is afraid of paying such a high price and letting the pet be harmed by drugs, which would result in heavy losses.

Seeing that Shuhua was fine, Nanzhi went back.

"I guess you didn't get enough rest yesterday. Take a day off today. Shuyue can just follow me." Nanzhi said to Shuhua considerately, then turned around and went back to his study.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Shuhua thanked him obediently and returned to his room.

She felt the look in Lord Liu Yue's eyes as he looked at her, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

She smelled her sleeves and noticed an unpleasant smell.

In the study, Nanzhi instructed Shuyue, "Shuyue, go to the princess to see if she has time. Tell her that this prince wants to see her for something."

After Shuyue left, Nanzhi looked at the words on the desk and sighed.

Hey!

Who can be more pitiful than her? She finally finished college and worked for a few years, but now she has traveled through time and space and has to start learning all over again.

Although the characters of the Da Ling Dynasty are somewhat similar to those of the previous life, they are just similar, not the real thing!

Starting all over again, aren’t you angry?

Nanzhi picked up the brush and was about to start writing when Liuyue spoke.

"Your Highness, you clearly saw through Shuhua's lies just now, why..."

Liu Yue doesn’t understand!

"Why not expose it?" Nanzhi put the tip of the pen on the paper and wrote two words.

"Since she is someone close to me, as long as she doesn't do anything to let me down, she won't say anything if she doesn't want to. Who doesn't have some secrets in their heart?"

Nanzhi said indifferently, "What do you think of these two words?"

"Your Highness needs to practice more!" Liu Yue said truthfully.

"Your Highness, there is knockout drug on her body, and there is also a faint stench. Are you really not curious?"

This sentence made Nanzhi laugh!

"What are you curious about? Curiosity kills the cat, do you understand?" Nanzhi suddenly became confused.

"That's not right! When did you, Master Liu Yue, become so curious about something?"

Suddenly Liu Yue's ears moved.

"Your Highness, do you really not care that she is hiding something from you?"

"Just keep it a secret! Since she doesn't want me to know, then I don't have to know. It's not a big deal. I believe Shuhua won't harm me or betray me. If she wanted to betray me, she would have done it long ago. Why would she wait until now?" Nanzhi smiled.

A strange smile appeared on Liu Yue's lips.

"Your Highness is so confident!"

"As a human being! There is still the most basic trust. I believe her! If that day really comes, it's my bad luck!" Nanzhi's attitude made Liu Yue couldn't help but look sideways.

For a moment, her eyes glanced sharply out the window, and her tone was slightly heavy, "I hope so!"
