One touch and one silence

Nanzhi slept until she woke up naturally the next day.

No one came to wake her up for work today, and even outside seemed unusually quiet.

Nanzhi got out of bed, put on her clothes, and walked out the door.

At this time in the past, Shuhua and the others would have come in with water for washing faces.

But today there is not even a shadow of him.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw two girls, Shuhua and Shuyue, sitting on a stone table under a evergreen tree, picking vegetables and talking.

"Sister Shuhua, how come the master is so powerful? How does she know who the murderer is?"

"How do you know it so clearly? So many details?"

"Master, did you really calculate it? That's amazing!" Shuyue asked a series of questions, and Shuhua didn't know which one she should answer first.

"You didn't hear it. Today when I went out to buy groceries, the yamen runners were talking about our master. Their words were so fierce."

Shuyue's tone was full of admiration for her master.

"Speak softly. Her Highness came back too late yesterday. Don't wake her up." Shuhua's tone carried a hint of reproach.

"I know! I know!" Shuyue stuck out her tongue and made a cute expression.

"Do you think the master can really calculate so clearly?"

"I feel like the master is like a god, as if he knows everything." Shuyue said to herself again, her voice much softer than before.

Shuhua smiled, his expression full of pride.

"Silly girl, where did God come from in the world? The master is just a little smarter. Don't talk nonsense."

"I really want the master to calculate it for me!" Shuyue looked longing.

"Wait until the master wakes up and then tell him!" Shuhua said jokingly.

"Cough cough!" Nanzhi suddenly coughed twice, and Shuhua Shuyue reacted quickly.

"Master, you're awake, but are you hungry? I'll go get you breakfast!" Shuyue said, and quickly trotted to the kitchen.

"Your Highness, did you sleep well yesterday? I saw that you slept soundly today. Lord Yuan sent someone to say that you can take a rest today, so I did not call you."

As Shuhua spoke, he brought the water in the basin to Nanzhi for washing.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy." Nanzhi asked curiously.

"Master, you don't know, but now it's all over the Dali Temple, saying that you are very good at investigating cases, and you are very meticulous. You can get to the bottom of a case in just three days. Everyone is praising you!"

The eyes of the calligraphers and painters are full of admiration.

Nanzhi smiled and said, "Oh! That's it! How come it happened so quickly?"

"That's right. I went out to buy groceries early in the morning and heard their conversation. I asked around and found out why you came back so late yesterday."

Shuyue also brought the food to the table at this time.

Nanzhi had just taken a sip of porridge when she saw an old man running towards her from a distance.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

"The old man is here!"

As soon as Nanzhi heard the voice, she knew who it was. She hadn't heard such a familiar voice in more than a month.

"Hey! Your Highness just had breakfast! The sun is already shining on your butt, and you just got up?" Doctor Xu teased.

"When did you come back?"

"I came back yesterday."

"However, now I have already resigned from my job in the Imperial Hospital, and now I have no choice but to come to you for help. Your Highness, please don't abandon me, otherwise, this old man will be in great trouble." The old man's miserable expression made Nanzhi almost spit out his porridge.

"Your Highness, that wouldn't be the case!" Doctor Xu asked again doubtfully.

When Nanzhi heard this, he was suddenly overwhelmed.

"Why would Doctor Xu suddenly want to quit such a good job in the Imperial Hospital? And come to see me?"

"Will the emperor agree?" Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, somewhat unconvinced.

"What's there to disagree with? As long as I, an old man, am willing, I can do anything!" Doctor Xu showed off in front of Nanzhi.

Nanzhi looked at his arrogant appearance and realized that it was true that having a treasure in the family is like having an old man!

"But, Your Highness has no money to support you."

Nanzhi had a smile on her face, but uttered cruel words.

Doctor Xu's face froze for a moment, and he thought for a moment, then he made an important decision.

"If it doesn't work, I'll just support myself."

This expression and action made Nanzhi laugh.

Seeing that Nan Zhi was just smiling and not saying anything, Doctor Xu gritted his teeth and continued.

"If it doesn't work, I'll set up a stall outside and take care of His Highness as well."

Doctor Xu thought, now you should agree!

As a result, the boy said even more cruel and ruthless words.

"no!"

Doctor Xu sat down on Nanzhi's dining table, watched Nanzhi eat, and said, "I don't care. I won't leave. Anyway, I'll be wherever Your Highness is!"

What a joke. Only a fool would leave if he could drink endless amounts of wine following His Highness. He must stick by His Highness' side.

"Why did the director of the Imperial Hospital agree to your resignation from the Imperial Hospital?"

Nanzhi put down her bowl and chopsticks and changed the subject.

"Don't you see how old I am now? I'm already a grandfather, do I still need my brother to take care of me?"

When Doctor Xu said this, he looked a little guilty, because he had mentioned it directly to His Majesty, saying that he wanted to take care of the Seventh Prince's health.

As for his brother, he forgot to tell him.

Just then, Liu Yue's voice came from the door, as if it was specifically slapping Doctor Xu in the face.

"Your Highness, Xu Yuanzheng from the Imperial Hospital has arrived. He said he is here to look for his brother!"

Nanzhi looked at Doctor Xu with a smile, as if he was enjoying a good show.

"Your brother is here to see you!" Nanzhi's smiling face made Doctor Xu so angry that his teeth chattered.

这小子，爱的时候爱的要死，恨的时候，巴不得揍他一顿。

I put too little Coptis chinensis in the beginning.

"Please tell him, Lord Liu Yue, that his brother is not here!"

Doctor Xu turned his head, with his back to Liu Yue, and replied to Liu Yue loudly.

"No need! I'm here, just tell it to my face!"

Nanzhi saw a man dressed elegantly and well-maintained. It could be seen that he was definitely a handsome man when he was young. He was wearing a green official uniform, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was forty years old.

Nanzhi looked at Doctor Xu, then looked at Xu Yuanzheng. Who is the older brother? Who is the younger brother?

Why does the brother look younger?

"Excuse me, Your Highness the Seventh Prince. I'm here to look for my good-for-nothing younger brother!" Xu Yuanzheng was respectful and polite.

"It's okay! It's okay, please do as you please!" Nanzhi gestured to him.

Doctor Xu looked at Nanzhi for help, but found that the Seventh Prince pretended not to see it.

"Why don't you come back with me!" The old man's threatening tone made Doctor Xu shrink his neck.

Suddenly, he stiffened his neck and retorted stubbornly, "I have already told His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed. His Majesty asked me to take care of His Majesty! If you have the guts, go find His Majesty!"

He just didn't believe that his elder brother could really go to see the emperor.

"Ha ha……"

"I just came back from His Majesty!" Xu Yuanzheng suddenly said cheerfully, interrupting Doctor Xu and looking at his brother with a smile.

If you look closely, you can see the seriousness and anger in his eyes.

"I do not go!"

Doctor Xu still gritted his teeth and insisted on staying here.

"Do you want me to ask my mother to come and ask you to go back?" Xu Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Doctor Xu with murderous intent.

"you!"

Doctor Xu was so angry that he stood up and shook his sleeves fiercely.

"Let's go!"

After saying that, he walked out of the door without looking back and left in big strides.

"I'm sorry for disturbing the Seventh Prince's mood for dinner!" Xu Yuanzheng apologized to Nanzhi politely.

"It's okay!" Nanzhi waved her hand, not caring.

He deserves to be the dean. Look, he sent the imperial physician back with just a few words.

"I'm leaving now!" Xu Yuanzheng did not use the term "humble minister". He did not want to get too close to a prince to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Goodbye!"

Nanzhi said goodbye to Xu Yuanzheng in a relaxed tone.
