One touch and one silence

"His Majesty has ordered His Highness to come here to recuperate. You, the Liu clan, are disturbing His Highness. Be careful. If His Majesty finds out, he will punish you for disrespect!"

Shuhua threatened back angrily.

"Get out of here!" Shuyue shouted impatiently at the man in front of her.

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Get out of here now. If you disturb His Highness again, be careful and I will find someone to beat you up!" After saying that, she waved her fist in a demonstrative manner.

The middle-aged man was so angry at Shuyue that he was speechless. No one had spoken to him like this in all these years.

They were just the children that his young lady looked down upon in the past, yet the servants around him dared to scold him now. Just wait and see. After the Seventh Prince and the master make peace, he will teach these two ignorant girls a lesson.

The man angrily shook his sleeves and walked away angrily.

After seeing the person leave, Shuyue's face turned ugly and she looked at the calligraphy and painting beside her.

"Sister Shuhua, do you think the Liu family will slander our master outside?"

Shuhua also thought of this. Although they had just retorted, what should the master do in this world where filial piety is respected?

Compared to their sad faces, Nanzhi had already washed up and started eating breakfast.

The Crown Prince in the palace also got the news, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"You said the Liu family went to look for the Seventh Prince?"

"Yes, Your Highness. When I was in the cold palace today, I heard the conversation between the master and servant. They should have arrived by now!"

Nan Chen was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand onto the table.

At this time he laughed angrily.

"Over the years, when Xiao Qi was in such a difficult time, the Liu family didn't stand up to defend him, and even added insult to injury. Now they actually want to accuse Xiao Qi of being unfilial."

"This is simply unreasonable!"

Nan Chen waved his hand at Guan Ping and said, "Keep watching. Remember to keep a close eye on Yue Xiang. If you see anything suspicious, report it immediately."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order from his master, the secret guard disappeared.

Nan Chen now wants to kill Concubine Liu. If it weren't for the fact that she is Xiao Qi's biological mother, he would have killed her when she was banished to the cold palace. She is still thinking about harming Xiao Qi while she is still alive.

He will go to his father to discuss this matter.

If Xiaoqi is really labeled as unfilial, her reputation will be ruined for the rest of her life.

The prince walked to the outside of the imperial study and was about to go in when he suddenly changed direction and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

He had to go find his mother first to see if she could make Xiao Qi a legitimate princess. Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking for the world to accuse him of being unfilial.

As he spoke, his pace quickened.

The emperor heard from the eunuch beside him that the prince had arrived, but he waited for a long time and the prince did not come in. When he asked again, he found out that the prince had left again.

"Go and find out where the prince went and what he did?"

The emperor gave an order and continued to deal with the memorials in his hand.

The eunuch responded and walked out. He whispered something to the young eunuch guarding the door and returned to the imperial study.

When Nan Chen arrived, one was elegant and the other was cute and charming. Rongrong was amused by the girl next to her and started laughing. The two were talking and laughing, and they were even happier when they saw him coming.

"How come Chen'er has time to come here today!"

"Brother Emperor!"

Nan Shu was wearing a pink princess dress with a Vermilion Bird embroidered on it in gold thread. When she ran, the hem of her skirt moved with her steps, as if she was stepping on pink clouds. The tassels on her head moved with the swaying of her body, which was cute and pretty.

The little girl looked pitiful, tugging at his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Brother, I want the painting of the Tianshan Night Moon that my father gave you last time!"

"What do you want this for?" Nan Chen looked at his sister and smiled dotingly.

"Oh! Just give it to me, my good royal brother!" Nan Shu's coquettish look made the two people present couldn't help laughing.

"When we get back later, your royal brother will have someone give it to you." Nanchen touched the little girl's head and agreed with a smile.

"You, you always covet your brother's good things." The queen was very happy when she saw the two siblings.

She only has these two children in her life, and they have such a good relationship. They are special in the palace, which makes her particularly happy.

"What's the matter with Chen'er?"

The Queen then noticed the Prince's expression, as if he had something to say.

"Your Majesty, mother, I have a favor to ask of you." It was the first time that Nanchen asked his mother for help, and he felt a little embarrassed.

The queen looked at the prince's conflicted expression, which made her even more curious.

"What on earth has caused you, a prince, to be so embarrassed?"

Nan Shu was also curious.

You have to know that she hasn't seen her brother, the Crown Prince, in trouble for many years.

What on earth had happened that made her brother, the crown prince, so worried that he came to the queen mother for help?

"All of you go down!" Nan Chen looked at the palace maids and eunuchs around him and gave an order.

After the people left, the prince said, "Mother, I want you to entrust Xiao Qi to your name!"

As soon as Nan Chen finished speaking, it was like a bomb, and the two of them were suddenly silent.

"Brother, having me as your biological sister isn't enough? You... you actually want other sisters! How many sisters do you want?"

"Humph! The imperial sister is angry!"

After saying that, the little girl crossed her arms angrily.

"Shu'er, stop joking. Brother is serious."

Nanchen looked at his pouting sister and for the first time did not try to comfort her immediately. Instead, he looked at his mother sincerely.

The queen looked at Nan Chen without saying anything. You have to know how big the impact would be if a prince or princess who already had a mother was suddenly recorded as a legitimate son or daughter.

What kind of magic power does Xiao Qi have that makes her cry for the emperor and even beg him to come to her?

Or……

Thinking of this, the queen's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Mother, this is not what Xiao Qi wanted. This is what I came up with myself."

"My mother knows what kind of person Concubine Liu is. Now they are trying to label Xiao Qi as an unfilial person."

"I really don't want Xiao Qi's reputation to be ruined in the future."

"What does this have to do with me? I have never made things difficult for them over the years. This is already the greatest tolerance I can offer." The Queen's tone was a little cold.

"Prince! Do you know what you are doing?"

"Mother, I know what I am doing. I cannot explain this to you right away. This is good for us."

Nanchen had no choice but to tell Nanzhi the true story.

"what?"

"Xiao Qi is a princess?" The queen frowned, a little surprised and puzzled?

"Xiao Qi is a girl?" Nan Shu was even more surprised.

Nanchen repeated what Nanzhi had said in the imperial study.

"Will I be poisoned?"

The queen was even more surprised!

Nan Shu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth and stared at his royal brother in amazement.

Are you sure what you said is not from the script?

"Father has verified this matter one by one. It is true. Father asked us to keep it secret. I am afraid that Xiao Qi will be needed in the future."
