One touch and one silence

"Okay, I'll go and explain this to the emperor for you. The emperor was originally going to come and see you, but something got in his way."

"Please clean up first and wait for big brother."

"Brother brought some excellent medicinal herbs. You should take care of yourself and tell me if you need anything."

After saying this, the prince left in a hurry.

Nanzhi felt a little tired of leaning on the bed, so she lay down again. She guessed in her heart that her father was tripped up by something, and it must be that woman who made a move!

"Shuyue, go and find out what's going on in the palace."

Shuyue was suddenly called by her master. She didn't know why, but she went anyway.

Shuhua was standing aside, and when she heard the news, she didn't understand why her master asked Shuyue to go out at this time.

Then I thought, since the master asked me to do this, there must be something going on.

Just continue with your own actions.

In the afternoon, Shuyue came back happily.

"Master! Master! Good news, hahahaha, I don't know what Qin Shuyuan did to displease His Majesty, and she was punished to be put in solitary confinement!"

"The maidservant beside her was beaten to death on the spot. Even the Sixth Princess was punished to copy Buddhist scriptures for three months."

"When you finish copying, you can come out!"

Nanzhi couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. She turned passive into active and reaped the consequences of her own actions!

Finally, he let out a bad breath.

I think that woman will hate her even more. She has been fighting with her original mother for so many years, but her mother couldn't beat her. You can imagine what that woman's methods are.

You have to know that his mother is the concubine of two princes, and so far she is just a small concubine.

Thinking of this, Nanzhi smiled!

If the enemy is unhappy, she is unhappy.

Her life standard is: I won’t provoke others unless they provoke me. But if someone provokes me, I will dig up all the embarrassing things of your ancestors.

In the imperial study of the palace.

The emperor was losing his temper at this moment.

The prince stood below and didn't say anything, but his expression didn't look good.

I guess something happened that made the two people with the most say in the palace angry.

"What do you think about this, Chen'er?"

The emperor took the teacup handed to him by his eunuch and took a sip to cool down his anger.

The prince thought for a long time before expressing his doubts, "I think the incident of Xiaoqi falling into the water last time might not be that simple."

You know, when he rescued Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi didn't struggle at all.

This is not the reaction after a sudden fall into the water.

Thinking of this, his brows suddenly frowned. Just when he was hesitating whether to say it or not.

"What? Is there anything else?" His Majesty asked.

Since his father asked, the prince told him what happened when Xiaoqi fell into the water.

"When I rescued Xiao Qi, I saw that Xiao Qi didn't seem to struggle, as if..."

If the prince hadn't finished speaking, as the emperor, what else would he not know after all these years?

The emperor said sarcastically, "Xiao Qi's mother is also a stupid woman. I have been afraid of him for these years and I don't like him. But no matter how much I dislike him, he is still my child. How can a slave like her bully him?"

"Since she likes Xiao Ba so much, let's give the Eighth Prince to Qin Shuyuan. I'm sure Qin Shuyuan will treat the Eighth Prince well."

Prince of Zhennan, I want to see what you are going to do! Let the dogs fight each other.

When the prince heard the imperial edict issued by his father, he laughed rarely.

This imperial decree not only punished Concubine Liu, but also hit her weak spot, leaving her no time to cause trouble for Xiao Qi.

Given the feud between them, it would be strange if Xiao Ba could live well there.

It would be strange if the Prince of Zhennan could achieve his goal.

It’s not easy to sacrifice one or two children in the palace fighting.

Thinking of this, the prince remembered the purpose of his visit to his father today.

"Father, Xiao Qi wants to leave the palace and go to a Taoist temple to recuperate. I have thought about it for a long time and do not want Xiao Qi to be disappointed. Please send someone to protect Xiao Qi and agree to it."

"Xiao Qi has suffered such a huge backlash for us. I really don't want to see her disappointed."

After saying this, he lifted up his robe and knelt down.

The prince knew very well that his father must have verified what Xiaoqi said.

Since Xiaoqi has such ability, my father will definitely not want to let him leave the palace.

I will definitely keep Xiaoqi by my side in case of any accidents.

If he were his father, he would probably do the same, not for any other reason, but first of all because of fear. No one wants the secrets hidden in their heart to be seen through by others at a glance. Or for others to see through their entire life at a glance.

I don't want this person to be used by others.

The emperor had an unfathomable expression. He sat there for a long time without saying a word, looking at the prince kneeling on the ground.

He thought Xiao Qi was talking nonsense at first, but one thing after another proved it to be true.

He naturally has selfish motives.

If Xiao Qi was by his side, he would be able to tell at a glance what everyone was thinking in the court.

It's even clearer that it's easy for him to control the whole world.

Xiao Qi is like an invisible killer. He is a little afraid of him, but he likes him very much.

The emperor still didn't want to let such a useful talent go free even though she was a girl.

“Aren’t you afraid…?”

After the emperor finished speaking, the prince didn't even think about it and directly replied, "Your son is not afraid!"

"There is only one person with a pure heart in this palace. I really don't want her to be tainted with those conspiracies and tricks."

"Your Majesty, Father has also seen Xiao Qi's appearance. These unorthodox practices have caused backlash. I believe that Your Majesty would not want Xiao Qi to suffer such torture."

"I also know that my father is wise and would not want Xiao Qi to suffer so much. The imperial physician also said that Xiao Qi's life span would be shortened. I really don't want to see my father suffer the pain of seeing his son die."

"And Xiao Qi has suffered backlash from the deal she made with the emperor. What if the emperor goes back on his word..."

After saying this, the prince lowered his head even more!

He almost said it explicitly. Xiao Qi's so-called Taoist magic would naturally bring them a lot of benefits, but he was confident that he could do well in the future without her.

There is absolutely no need to sacrifice Xiaoqi's life to know what will happen in the future.

The prince felt the oppression released by the emperor.

He knew very well that the royal family was ruthless, but he still wanted to retain a little bit of innocence.

"I understand! Go down now!"

Nanchen left the imperial study, took a look at the prince's residence, and then returned to his own East Palace.

I think this should be possible. My father has always prided himself on being wise.

Sacrificing his own daughter to achieve a certain goal is something that even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, so the emperor would definitely not do that.

He knew that after this incident, he would definitely be disliked by his father, but he felt it was worth it.

At least Xiaoqi can get the freedom he wants and help himself see the outside world, which is also good.

At the prince's residence, Shuhua and Shuyue packed up all the things.

In fact, there was nothing there, as it had been taken away by Concubine Liu a long time ago.

Nanzhi is now waiting for the emperor's edict.
