One touch and one silence

After everyone left, Nanzhi patted his chest.

"That was a close call! I almost had to raise one more person! It's so scary!"

so close!so close!

"Didn't Doctor Xu say that he can support himself? What is Your Highness afraid of?"

Shuhua couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw his master's delighted expression.

"What do you know? In the end, isn't it your Highness that I have to raise him?"

"It's hard enough to support you guys."

Nanzhi finished the last mouthful of porridge after she finished speaking.

She had just stood up to digest her food when another person came.

It was another acquaintance, who was the chief steward beside her father.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

"Seventh Prince, His Majesty is hosting a family dinner in the palace tonight. Please arrive early."

The person who came was Eunuch Xu, his face smiling like a chrysanthemum, all wrinkled.

Nanzhi's smiling face suddenly fell.

"Can I not go?" she asked unwillingly.

"No! His Majesty has specifically ordered that you must arrive in the evening." After saying this, he looked at Nanzhi with a smile on his face, you can't tell how loving he was.

"Alright! Your Highness understands!" To be honest, it was really creepy to be looked at lovingly by a eunuch.

Manager Xu left happily, leaving Nanzhi with an unhappy face.

A good day turned into this.

its not right!

Nanzhi suddenly remembered that she didn't ask why there was a family dinner suddenly.

What's going on? Just a family dinner?

"Liu Yue, do you have any news outside recently?"

"Why did my father suddenly hold a family dinner?" Nanzhi thought for a while, feeling a little confused.

"Your Highness, the Prince of Zhennan and his family should have arrived. According to the route, they should have arrived today."

After Liuyue's reminder, Nanzhi finally understood.

It turned out that the old guy was coming back. Thinking of this, Nanzhi got a little angry.

Damn it, just because this old guy is coming back, she has to go back to the palace and eat the kind of meal that will shorten her life by three years.

Although this result was her choice, she naturally chose short pain rather than long pain, otherwise she was unwilling to be endlessly busy.

Today she wanted to take a good look at this person to see what kind of person he was, making her father and brother in this body feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Isn't it just a rebellion? Why not just find a reason to take it?

Just like in the previous life, isn't it enough to find evidence, throw him to death row, lock him up and be done with it?

Nanzhi's eyebrows were almost twisted into knots.

In fact, Nanzhi was wrong. She thought too simply. Her father and the crown prince were never afraid of the Prince of Zhennan, but the empress dowager behind him.

You have to know that in ancient times, when the world was ruled by filial piety, if the empress dowager said that the emperor was unfilial, the emperor would probably be criticized by censors and even the people.

Nanzhi didn't know at this time that she was very interested in others, and others were also very interested in her.

Particularly interested.

When Prince Zhennan returned to the capital, he went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother first. The two of them expressed their affectionate attitude towards each other. The Queen Mother then gave Prince Zhennan a general account of what had happened in Kyoto recently.

Including the emperor suddenly appointing a ten-year-old prince to be the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

What’s even more amazing is that they solved a murder case perfectly in less than three days.

This made the Queen Mother look sideways.

After the Prince of Zhennan finished talking to the Queen Mother and recounting the mother-son relationship, he went to see the Emperor.

It can be seen that the Prince of Zhennan really did not take the emperor seriously.

Logically, you should see the emperor first, then the empress dowager.

When they arrived at the imperial study, Prince Zhennan bowed respectfully to the emperor.

The emperor personally walked down and helped the Prince of Zhennan up.

"It's been many years since we last met. Now you and I have both aged a lot. Mother has always missed you. You must spend some time with her when you come back this time."

The emperor put his hands on Prince Zhennan's shoulders, and his tone was full of concern and love. He did not seem unhappy at all because Prince Zhennan did not come to see him first.

Prince Zhennan also looked grateful and tearful.

"Your Majesty is right. I have been missing you all these years, especially Mother. So as soon as I came back, I couldn't wait and went to see Mother first. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me." The Prince of Zhennan said this with sincerity, but only he himself knew how much of it was true.

"Now that my brother is back, we two brothers will not go home until we are drunk tonight!"

"Good, good, good!" The emperor laughed happily and excitedly.

"I am waiting to get drunk with my younger brother. I will host a family dinner in the Palace of Heavenly Purity tonight. Let's have a nice drink!"

"Okay! Then I'll come back tonight and get drunk with you, brother!"

Prince Zhennan happily agreed.

The relationship between the two at this moment seems to have returned to the same level as ten years ago.

Everything that happened in the past ten years seemed to be just an illusion, all the suspicions, as if they had never happened.

"Okay! Then I'll go back first! Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace!" The emperor patted Prince Zhennan on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, looking like a good brother who loves his younger brother.

"I'm leaving now!"

After the Prince of Zhennan finished speaking, he bowed and left the imperial study.

The moment Prince Zhennan stepped out of the imperial study, the emperor's expression changed.

He pulled a yellow handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his hands.

After wiping it, he threw it directly on the ground.

"Ah!"

It was as if he had touched something dirty. Why hadn't he noticed before that the Prince of Zhennan was such a good actor?

No wonder!

No wonder!

Let’s look at Xiaoqi’s today.

The emperor placed all his hopes on Nanzhi so that he could make the next move.

All he had to do was to know the actions of the Prince of Zhennan. As long as he knew them, he could stop him directly before him, or get strong evidence. Then...

The emperor looked at the Prince of Zhennan who was walking away. If possible this time, he would keep his family in the capital forever.

forever!

Go and accompany his father, go!

Wei time!

Nanzhi had been personally taken into the palace by the palace steward Xu.

It has to be said that the emperor knew Nanzhi very well. He was afraid that she would procrastinate and not want to return to the palace, so he sent someone to urge her.

Nanzhi was very depressed and followed the eunuchs into the palace with her head down.

Nanzhi kept complaining to Liuyue along the way.

"What time is it? Why are you asking me to enter the palace so early? What do you think I need to do so early?"

"Is he idle?"

"Can't we go there at a certain time?"

"How did I become the emperor's child?"

"If you change someone, it won't be so tragic!"

"Do you think there will be something exciting to watch at the family dinner tonight?"

Liu Yue listened to her master's nagging all the way, and her ears were almost callused.

Liu Yue gritted his teeth and didn't say a word to her.

Fortunately, they finally arrived.

Nanzhi originally thought that she was going to go directly to the family dinner, but who knew that the father-in-law took her directly to the imperial study.

This time, Nanzhi no longer felt awe or curiosity.

There is only clarity and compromise.

When she arrived there, the emperor and the prince were already there. Their attire today was somewhat different from what she had seen them wear before.

She didn’t know if it was Nanzhi’s illusion, but she felt that the emperor’s dragon robe and the prince’s python robe were both very new, and the prince’s clothes were also yellow.

It seems...

"Greetings, father! Greetings, brother!" Nanzhi bowed to the two of them respectfully.

Now, she has become quite decent in terms of etiquette.

"Okay, get up!"

"After the morning court session today, I heard the Dali Temple's chief minister praise you to the heavens and earth in front of me. I guess you are quite satisfied with your life in the Dali Temple!"

"Are you feeling unwell?" As soon as these words were spoken, the three people present all knew what the emperor meant.

"Thank you for your concern, Father! I am very satisfied and have no discomfort."

The emperor and the prince had been looking at Nanzhi. After a thorough inspection and seeing that there was indeed no problem, they felt relieved and got down to business today.

"I believe you know today why your father insisted that you come here." After the emperor said this, he looked at Nanzhi in the audience with an inexplicable expression.

"I understand!" Nanzhi's voice remained calm, without any fluctuations.

"You only need to find an opportunity to contact the Prince of Zhennan and do the math. Don't worry, I just want to know how many ministers in the court have close relationships with him. And what stage he has reached now!"

"This matter concerns the lives of all of us and the safety of the people. I'm sure you understand that if he ascends to the throne, we will probably be the first to die under his sword."

"So I have no choice. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid my father would never have suspected that he had ulterior motives towards me."

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Nanzhi, trying to see some empathy from her.

What a pity, he was very disappointed. Nanzhi kept his head down, didn't look up, and didn't say a word. He just stood there with his head down like a good baby who had made a mistake.

The prince looked at his father, and a look of vicissitudes suddenly appeared on his face, and he felt a little reluctant.

He walked up to Nanzhi and placed a hand on the prince's shoulder.

"Xiaoqi..."

Before the prince could finish his words, Nanzhi looked up and interrupted him.
