One touch and one silence

Yuan Shan took out a silver needle, which emitted silver light under the candlelight. The abbot flicked his hand, and the silver needle flew out and pierced Nanzhi's chest directly.

As the first silver needle fell, Nanzhi's entire body was soon covered with silver needles.

At this moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Nanzhi is a hedgehog.

"The girl is fine. This last stitch is crucial."

Liu Yue replied in a cold voice: "Master, don't worry!"

At this time, Abbot Yuanshan's forehead was covered with sweat.

Yuan Shan pulled out the last silver needle. The silver light from the needle flashed in Liu Yue's eyes. She stood there motionless, without even blinking.

Yuanshan inserted the last needle directly into the center of Nanzhi's forehead.

After the last needle was given, Liu Yue noticed that the abbot seemed to have lost all his energy and looked much more tired. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to feel that the master had aged a lot.

"It will take an incense stick of time to wait."

Yuan Shan said this with great tiredness.

Liu Yue nodded, "Master Abbot, don't worry!"

Time passed by bit by bit, and the person outside the door was waiting anxiously, pacing back and forth at the door.

The prince has almost flattened the land.

The emperor couldn't bear to watch it any longer and stopped him, "Prince, you've made me dizzy!"

"Father! I am really worried!"

"No, I won't leave! My son can't calm down!" said the prince anxiously.

You are the only one who is anxious, I am not anxious, right?

I'm anxious enough already, and you're still turning around in front of me like a donkey pulling a millstone. I'm almost dizzy because of you.

The emperor glared at him.

The prince has become obedient.

Finally, the door inside was opened by Liu Yue.

The prince immediately ran to the front and asked anxiously, "How is Liu Yue? Is Xiao Qi awake?"

"Yes! He's awake! Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, please go in and take a look!"

When they went in, Yuan Shan was putting the silver needles back into his small cloth bag one by one.

"Now that I have finished, I should go back!"

Yuan Shan stood up and was about to leave, and he staggered when he stood up.

Liu Yue hurried over to support Abbot Yuan Shan.

"Little Seven!"

"Xiao Qi, you finally woke up!" The prince's eyes were red, and he lay on the edge of Nanzhi, very carefully, as if the person in front of him was a delicate treasure.

"Ok!"

Nanzhi felt extremely tired, and just saying "Hmm!" had already used up all her strength.

The emperor looked at Nanzhi's frown and the difficulty in responding to the prince's words just now, which made him feel a little bitter.

"Thank you, Abbot! It's getting late today, why don't you just rest in the palace? I will send someone to take you back tomorrow!"

He naturally saw the abbot staggering as he stood up just now.

Even if he failed to save his child, at least his child has woken up.

It will be easy once you wake up.

"That's it! That's fine!" The abbot didn't bother to be polite with the emperor. It was true! He had put in a lot of effort to master all his unique skills, and now he really didn't have the energy to walk such a long way.

"Eunuch Xu! Take the abbot down to rest! Serve him well."

At this time, the prince also stood up and said, "Father is right. Thank you for your help today, Abbot."

"Alright! Xiao Qi needs to rest. Let me leave for now and let Xiao Qi have a good rest. Fang Momo and Qin Momo will take good care of Xiao Qi!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Qi, who looked exhausted, and then turned and left.

The prince was still a little reluctant to leave, but the emperor pulled him back and the prince left reluctantly.

"Father, please let me spend more time with Xiaoqi!" The prince was somewhat helpless.

"How's your investigation into Cao Bei's case going? Xiao Qi has made great efforts for this, and you're just going to leave it alone?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the prince with a look of impending storm.

"Got it! Son, I'll go right away!"

"Don't be angry! Don't be angry!"

After saying this, the prince turned around and ran faster than a rabbit, fearing that if he was a little late, the emperor would beat him.

I really have to run!

Anyone who knew that his concubine was cuckolded by someone else could not do anything to the two of them at this time. This was different from Yue Cairen. Yue Cairen was done intentionally by His Majesty, so he didn't care. But Shufei was different. She was the main concubine of the palace.

You know, only three of them knew about this.

It was obvious that if he didn't leave, his father would really vent his anger of the past two days on him.

He should just go and investigate Cao Bei honestly!

Thinking of this, he planned to go to the prison at night to meet Cao Bei and meet this old guy.

The prince could never have imagined that when he remembered to go see the person, he would have been dead.

Inside Cining Palace.

"Is it done?" The Queen Mother spoke slowly while drinking tea.

"To reply to your Majesty, the person is already dead!"

"Ok!"

"Tell them not to move for now and clean up the tail!" The Queen Mother said as she put down the teacup in her hand, with a hint of regret in her tone.

"Yes!"

As the nanny left, the Queen Mother glanced at her.

A pair of willow-shaped eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

I guess the emperor discovered something, but it was too late to do anything about it.

With that treasury silver, it's enough.

Thinking of this, the woman's lips curled up slightly into a smile.

What is lacking now is an opportunity, a legitimate opportunity.

The woman walked to the window and looked up at the moonlight.

"The moonlight tonight is really exceptionally bright, isn't it?"

The eunuch and the maid were left looking at the night in confusion, wondering, there is a moon? Where is the moon?

After the woman finished speaking, she went into the bedroom.

When the prince arrived at the prison, he saw Cao Bei lying on the table, which was full of wine and food. He had been dead for a long time.

The prince hurriedly walked in, stretched out his hand, and pressed it on Cao Bei's neck. At this time, Cao Bei's body had already stiffened, and it seemed that he had been dead for at least an hour.

"Tell me! What happened?" The prince was so angry that he laughed. Xiaoqi tried his best to name this person. Perhaps the importance of this person was beyond their understanding.

The prince asked this question, and everyone in the cell knelt down instantly.

The prince's eyes were filled with anger. He looked at the runners in the cell and asked another question.

"Who on earth was here tonight?"

The prince's tone was extremely cold, and the yamen runners seemed to have felt the biting chill.

"Say!"

Following the prince's angry rebuke, a group of yamen runners responded tremblingly.

"In reply to the prince, no one has come today except the people who delivered meals!" The jailer lay on the ground and answered truthfully.

"No one has been here, how could he die!"

"Come here, take them away and interrogate them strictly!"

Qin Ming observed the body for a while, then walked to Nan Chen's side and whispered in the prince's ear, "Your Highness, Lord Cao was poisoned to death."

"This poison is arsenic that kills instantly when it comes into contact with blood!"

The prince laughed!

OK!

very good!

"Go and arrest the bailiff who delivered my meal to me that night!"

As soon as the prince finished speaking, the guards went out quickly.

After a while, two guards came in carrying a corpse.

"Your Highness, the person is already dead!"

The prince closed his eyes and said, "Investigate thoroughly for me. Even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you will find the murderer for me! Give his body to Yuan Wuqing."

"Qin Ming, lock up his family members somewhere alone!"

"Forget it! Come with me to Lord Cao's house to take a look! I want to take a good look."
