One touch and one silence

"understood!"

After Liu Yue finished speaking, he slipped away.

Nanzhi felt relieved after she agreed.

At present, we have made all the preparations for the most difficult things, and all that remains is to wait patiently.

I wonder if Nan Shu cried secretly when he found out that person was not around?

Why don’t you go see her?

Forget it!

If she goes there, she won't know how to comfort herself for such a thing. Time will be the best medicine.

She should just work hard to complete the homework assigned by the teacher today!

Oooh!

Poor and sad!

After the prince left Nanzhi, he was called away by His Majesty's men.

When the prince arrived at the study, he saw that his father looked worried.

"Father, what happened?"

The prince walked up to the emperor and asked with concern.

"The Queen Mother told me that she missed the Prince of Zhennan and his family. For so many years, the Prince of Zhennan has been guarding the border. Now she is getting older and older. She wants me to invite him back to meet him during the Autumn Festival!"

The emperor looked at the table in front of him. His expression looked a little ugly, but it was difficult to understand.

"Isn't this good news? Wouldn't it be better if we were under the Emperor's watchful eyes?"

The prince asked doubtfully.

"That's true, but...I don't know why." The emperor always felt that something was wrong.

"What do you think she wants to do?"

The prince said sarcastically, "What else can you do? You just covet your father's position, don't you?"

"If only it were true!" The emperor was extremely melancholy.

"By the way, how is Xiaoqi doing recently? I'm afraid he has been blaming me a lot!"

The prince neither said yes nor no, he just smiled and said nothing.

"It seems like you've complained a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have this expression."

The emperor said and pointed at the prince.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from my father."

The emperor chuckled, as if he could imagine Xiao Qi's jumping expression.

"She has caused you a lot of trouble recently, hasn't she?" The emperor slowly walked back to his chair.

"Fortunately, he is very well behaved and is studying the lessons taught by the teachers seriously."

The prince answered truthfully.

"That's good. By the way, do you think Xiao Qi's so-called Taoism can be used universally?"

The prince hesitated for a moment before answering His Majesty, "I don't know!"

Seeing that the prince had no intention of answering this question, the emperor did not say anything.

"Okay, go back now. You need to pay more attention to the King of Zhennan. I heard that you sent the kid from the Shi family to the border as well? What are you planning to do? Are you going to train him?"

The emperor said this casually, as if he was just asking a question casually.

"In reply to your father's words, before Xiao Qi came back, he calculated for Shu'er that this person would use Shu'er to achieve some goals, use Shu'er's connections, and even put his life in danger. That's why I exiled him to the border."

When the prince said this, he bowed respectfully, straightened his back, and maintained this posture, not daring to move at all.

"Why are you so nervous? I'm just asking."

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do now, go back!"

The prince then breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll take my leave!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

After going out, I felt much more relaxed.

He has always known that all his actions will not escape the eyes of his father.

But when I really took action, I still felt a little scared.

The emperor quietly watched the prince's departing back. After he had disappeared, he spoke to the empty imperial study.

"Qin Feng, call Deputy Commander Liu!"

A voice came from the air, "Yes!" and the person disappeared.

He sat alone at the desk, thinking about the prince's words. If these things did not cause such great harm to Xiao Qi, it would be a blessing for the Prince of Zhennan to come back.

if……

At this moment, Liu Yue came in, kneeling on the ground respectfully to greet him, "Your Majesty!"

"Get up! You have been with His Majesty the Seventh Prince these days, but have you noticed anything unusual?"

Liu Yue's heart skipped a beat. What did His Majesty want to do? Did he want to investigate the Seventh Prince?

Or did the Seventh Prince do something to anger His Majesty?

Liu Yue had all sorts of speculations in his mind, but he didn't dare show any emotion on his face.

"According to my observation, Your Highness often has some new ideas. For example, when it comes to cooking, the food I cook is the best I have ever eaten."

"Oh? Xiaoqi can cook?" The emperor was a little shocked.

"In reply to Your Majesty, when the Seventh Prince was in the Taoist temple, he was self-reliant, so he learned some cooking skills." Liu Yue didn't know either, but thought that it might be related to the deceased Taoist priest.

"Is it really that delicious?" His Majesty was a little unconvinced.

"I dare not speak nonsense!" Liu Yue knelt straight, not daring to hide anything.

"Have you ever observed what Xiao Qi used when he was telling fortunes for others? Are there any side effects?"

The emperor asked what he wanted to know most.

Liu Yue was panicking, it seemed that His Majesty was suspicious of the Seventh Prince.

"Your Majesty, I have not found any sequelae of your Highness, nothing else."

The emperor listened to Liu Yue's words and was puzzled. Why was it that he and the crown prince had problems when they were both human beings? Why not others?

"You really don't feel uncomfortable at all?"

Liu Yue shook his head with certainty, "I can be sure that there is no such thing."

"But I have heard Your Highness say that it is impossible to count the number of people who are close to you."

Liu Yue added another sentence.

"Who do you mean by close people?" The emperor didn't quite understand, as the scope was very large.

Are they all friends, or family members, relatives, brothers, etc.?

It's hard to grasp.

If Xiao Qi really doesn't have such a severe backlash, then August 15th, when the Prince of Zhennan returns to the capital, will be a good day.

He could see clearly what the Prince of Zhennan was thinking. If he could dig out some useful secrets, it would be of great benefit to him and the entire Da Ling Dynasty.

"But see how she calculated it? What did she rely on?"

"I remember that the fortune tellers in the stalls outside either read palms, or look at faces, or read birth dates and fortunes. I wonder which one Xiao Qi is?"

The emperor's tone was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was asking about something unimportant.

"Your Majesty, it should be palmistry!"

"Oh!" The emperor became interested.

"Tell me!"

"The first time Your Highness saw him was at the Taoist temple's abbot. I saw Your Highness pour tea for the abbot and then held his hand and looked at it!"

"If there is no problem with the second time, it should be the killer that Your Highness picked up at the beginning. I saw Your Highness also looked at his hand."

"The third one is the butcher Fatty Chen, whom Your Majesty has also seen. When I saw him, it was because I touched Your Majesty's hand."

"As for the female corpse that framed Fatty Chen, it was the same. I looked at their hands first, so I think it was palmistry."
