One touch and one silence

How could the imperial concubine not know what kind of person this old eunuch was? She knew without a doubt that his methods were too despicable.

"Come on, get out of here!" There was no expression on her face, but her tone was very impatient.

As the old eunuch left, the imperial concubine's face turned ugly and murderous intent filled her eyes.

As for her prince's affairs, whoever ruins her plans will die!

"Go! Send that old man a pot of the good wine that His Majesty gave him last time. Eunuch Lu is old, and it's time for him to enjoy his retirement. This is a reward from me for all the hard work he's done for me over the years. Watch him drink it before he comes back."

Meixiang, the maidservant beside the imperial concubine, lowered her head, responded, turned around and left. No one saw that although she lowered her head, she could not hide the ecstasy in her eyes.

It was not until she walked out the door that a fierce look appeared in the maid's eyes.

She had disliked this old eunuch in her early years. Every time he came to the empress, he looked at her with obscene eyes, which made her feel creepy every time.

She woke up in the middle of the night countless times, dreaming that she was treated like an object by the Queen and given to that perverted old man.

Even though all six of his organs had been cut off, he became even more perverted. If she were to say who in the entire palace she most wanted dead, it would be this old eunuch.

Over the years, that old guy has harmed so many young maids in the palace under the pretext of doing errands for his master. This time, he is finally going to die.

She was finally going to be free and no longer have to live in fear every day. This time things had gone wrong, and it was a good thing!

Thanks to that chubby little maid, if one day...

Meixiang certainly knew why the Imperial Concubine was like this. After all, the Imperial Concubine had a great deal of resentment towards the prince whose first child was stillborn.

If that child were still alive, it is hard to say who would be the queen today.

Before she was crowned as queen, people in the harem said that if the imperial concubine's baby was a prince, given how much she was doted on, he would probably become the queen.

Unfortunately, the first child died before it was born. Since the current queen is already a royal concubine, she is only one step away from that step. Everyone is waiting for the baby in the royal concubine's belly to be born.

Who knew it was a false alarm, as the court officials would not allow a childless concubine to become the mother of a country.

Although the emperor liked her, he also knew that the empress was already a concubine of one son and one daughter at that time.

The maid held her head high and left with two little palace maids, carrying a pot of wine.

It was very normal for one or two eunuchs or palace maids to die in the palace.

In the imperial study, a man dressed in black was kneeling on the ground, reporting something.

"Your Majesty, since this incident happened so long ago, many of the palace maids and midwives who delivered the baby are no longer with us. Some drowned, some were robbed and killed by robbers, and some were sold to brothels and tortured to death." What the secret guard said was nothing more than that all the emperor's people who knew about it at the time were dead.

The people above laughed out of anger after hearing what the secret guard reported.

"Haha! Women really are the most vicious people!" The emperor originally did not think that what Xiaoqi said was true.

After all, that woman had been really nice to him over the years.

He could have been very sure, but after really checking, he found that he was too naive.

"Since we can't find anything over there, let's change direction and check if any of the old people in Concubine Yuanhe's palace are still alive."

"Yes!" The kneeling man responded respectfully and turned to leave.

"By the way, what has the King of Zhennan been doing recently?"

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan is still the same as always, there is nothing wrong with him."

The secret guard answered honestly.

"I understand! Go down!"

After everyone left, the emperor sat back on the chair, wondering when the Prince of Zhennan had come up with this idea and what preparations he had made.

I guess it was because I didn't hit the grass hard enough and alerted the enemy.

The emperor's eyes were dim and there was a flash of ferocity in them. He no longer had the gentleness he once had.

No one will let go of someone who is not good for him, let alone a king who holds real power.

"General Manager Xu, pass on my order. The Sixth Princess is filial and has a good attitude in admitting her mistakes. I am concerned that she is still young and cannot live without her mother's guidance, so I will exempt Qin Shuyuan from house arrest."

"Yes! Old slave, go now!"

After taking Chief Steward Xu away, the emperor's mood finally improved.

He wanted his son to sit on the throne legitimately, without considering whether he was worthy of it.

"By the way, pick some goodies from my private storehouse and give them to Xiao Qi."

After saying this, the emperor began to review the remaining memorials.

East Palace!

Your Highness, your thoughts at this moment coincide exactly with those of Your Majesty.

"Manager Li, go and prepare some banknotes for Xiao Qi, in case Xiao Qi runs out of money. He needs to spend money everywhere outside the palace. Also bring the things that the Queen Mother gave Xiao Qi last time."

"Yes"

Butler Li responded and was about to leave when the prince called him back.

"Wait! You go there in person and help me check on Xiao Qi to see if she is doing well. Then remember to tell her about how my father tricked me into giving her wine. Remember to make me look as miserable as possible."

When Manager Li heard the prince's order, a smile appeared on his face.

"What are you laughing at? Go quickly. If there is a spill next time, I will give you a jar of wine!" The prince looked at Eunuch Li with displeasure for daring to laugh at him.

When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince become so childish? Now he is like a kid who lost a fight and got no candy, and is going to complain to others.

"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely talk to His Highness the Seventh Prince."

The prince patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I am most confident in your work!"

Butler Li was even happier when he received the praise from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Three days later, people from both sides arrived outside the Seventh Prince's small courtyard with the treasures bestowed by their masters.

The two of them looked at the things behind them and were speechless for a while.

Nanzhi, who was exercising in the back mountain, was suddenly taken back by Liuyue.

Nanzhi was still curious about when Lord Liuyue started to care about her so much.

When I returned to the yard, I found that it was filled with boxes of things.

Nanzhi was looking at it with curiosity. She took a casual glance and saw twenty full boxes.

"Greetings, His Majesty the Seventh Prince. I am the chief steward of the Eastern Palace, Eunuch Li. The Crown Prince was very happy to receive the gift you sent him a few days ago, but he was also worried about your health, so he asked me to come and see how you are doing."

"These boxes contain gifts that the Queen carefully selected for you."

"This is what the prince told me to give you privately."

Everyone likes to receive gifts.

When Nanzhi heard what Manager Li said, a smile as beautiful as a flower bloomed on her face.

"Brother Crown Prince is so kind, but why did the Queen suddenly give me a gift?"

Nanzhi had no guilt in taking the prince in, but she felt a little puzzled when someone took the queen in for no reason.

She still understands that one cannot receive rewards without merit.

"Seventh Prince, you are now the legitimate son of the Queen. As a mother, the Queen will naturally prepare gifts for you."

Steward Li’s face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he was happily explaining to the Seventh Prince.

The other eunuch next to him was so angry that his eyes were rolling up and hurting.

Just now he reacted a second slow, and this kid said it before him.

Until now, he has been unable to get a word in even though he wanted to. It's really infuriating.

Nanzhi was completely confused. What the hell was this? When did she become the queen's child?

Manager Li was a smart man. He knew at a glance that the Seventh Prince was still unclear about the situation, so he briefly explained the whole story, from how the Crown Prince heard that the Liu family came to the mountain to beg her but failed, and instead wanted to pressure her by saying that the family was unfilial, to how the Crown Prince personally went to the Queen to beg her to record Nanzhi as her legitimate son. He explained the whole story clearly.

Nanzhi then realized that the prince was protecting her in a place she was not aware of.

Nanzhi's eyes were slightly red with emotion.

Just then, the other father-in-law finally gave him a chance to speak.

"That's right. At that time, His Majesty personally went to the Empress's palace to finalize the matter of recording you as the legitimate son. At that time, His Majesty had been so busy that he hadn't slept for two days. When he heard that you were bullied by the Liu family, he didn't even take a rest. It shows how important His Majesty thinks of you."

My father-in-law's tone was flattering, but not offensive.
