One touch and one silence

There was another person who slowly loosened his pale hands and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was not until Shuhua called him that he followed Shuhua and others and started laughing.

After what happened today, the secret guards began to follow Nanzhi closely, one meter away.

Except when the master is not convenient, they are always there. Even when sleeping, there are three people around him.

For a long time since then, Nanzhi didn't meet any suspicious people. Since the last time, she worked harder to learn Qinggong, and occasionally asked Liuyue to teach her a few tricks.

As the summer gets hotter, the emperor in the palace prepares to escape the heat.

It was not much different from previous years until around late July or early August, when the summer heat was at its worst.

The masters in the palace started to set off.

On the eve of departure, the prince went to see the emperor and told him what was in his mind. Unexpectedly, his father agreed.

Who would have known that on the day of departure, as soon as the prince walked out of the gate of the East Palace, he saw the emperor who had been waiting at the door for a long time in casual clothes.

It's quite shocking!

"Father, what are you doing?" It was no wonder that the prince was confused. The emperor's procession had left early in the morning, but now his father appeared at the gate of his East Palace.

The most important thing is that no one notified him.

He glanced at the eunuch guarding the door, who could only kneel on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Why are you trying to scare them? I told them not to say it, so why are you acting like a prince in front of your father?"

The emperor raised his tiger eyebrows, and the prince immediately became listless. He wanted to spend more time with Xiao Qi and build some relationship with him, but his father was about to ruin his plan.

"Let's go! What are you still standing there for?"

After saying this, he strode away, not caring at all whether the prince followed him or not.

It's not like he didn't know the place. If he hadn't had such a good relationship with Xiao Qi, he wouldn't have condescended to wait in the East Palace for so long.

The prince saw his father walking very fast and immediately followed him.

Nanzhi of Yandang Mountain had no idea that her father and her brother had come to see her on a whim.

The weather has been too hot recently, so Nanzhi asked Liuyue for a few days off, saying that she wanted to find something to brew a different kind of wine for her.

Liu Yue did not disagree. It was indeed too hot recently and His Highness was in poor health. If something happened, she would not be able to explain it.

On the first day, Nanzhi originally planned to go down the mountain to visit the market by herself, but as soon as she got out of the mountain, the scorching sun instantly discouraged her from going.

Nanzhi turned around and went back to the courtyard, asking the secret guards to help her check.

What she wanted was fruit. She would buy some as long as it was fruit and choose from the bushes.

Sometimes it's really good to have someone running errands for you. It wasn't until the last day that Nanzhi went down herself. She took advantage of these two days to get herself a black umbrella because it was too hot and she really couldn't stand it.

So when several people were holding umbrellas in such a strong sun, they attracted a lot of attention.

Nanzhi didn't care at all. With the umbrella, the light was not as strong.

She even stood beside Liu Yue on purpose. Liu Yue's mouth twitched and he pretended not to notice her little action.

I don’t know if it was her illusion, but this time when she came to the market, she found that there were very few people, and even fewer vendors.

She hasn't had her period for almost two months. I don't know if it's because it's too hot, or because people in ancient times didn't want to go out, or something like that.

Nanzhi and a few others walked to a spot that the secret guards had scouted in advance, um, a fruit stall. Seeing the fruits inside, she walked directly towards the grapes she wanted.

Nanzhi asked about the price and the amount that could be given to him, and then asked Shuhua to pay directly.

While Shuhua was paying, Nanzhi looked at the scattered passers-by outside and asked casually, "Boss, why are there so few people today? I guess the weather is too hot recently and people don't want to go out!"

Who knew that the boss would say with a smile: "Young Master, what are you talking about? There is a prisoner being executed at the West Street Market today, and they all ran to West Street to watch the excitement."

"Execution? Is it beheading?" Nanzhi was surprised.

"Really? It seems that the young master hasn't been out much recently! In the past, when Chen the butcher who sold meat in our area was delivering goods to the prefect's house, he was said to have raped and killed an innocent woman, the young maid that the prefect had just bought not long ago."

"I heard that the little maid was quite pretty. Who knew? Oh! It's really pitiful. It's just an unexpected disaster."

The boss shook his head with regret.

Butcher Chen?

Isn't there only one Butcher Chen here? Is he the honest man from the beginning?

Nanzhi rubbed his chin with one hand, recalling his first impression of Butcher Chen and how he looked when they met for the second time.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a beast in human form.

Nanzhi became interested. She had never seen a beheading scene before.

She wanted to take a look.

"Sister Shuhua Shuyue Liuyue, are you interested in going to West Street?"

Shuhua Shuyue looked at her master's high spirits and replied with a smile, "I will listen to you, my master."

"Me too!" Shuyue was also excited and wanted to watch the fun.

Liu Yue still had no expression on her face, so Nanzhi took it as her agreement and immediately told the boss to deliver the goods directly to a certain place and gave her an extra tael of silver as a reward.

The boss was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Knowing that they were going to West Street, he enthusiastically pointed them in the direction.

Nanzhi and others followed the direction pointed by the boss, and after half an incense stick of time, they saw a lot of people gathered not far away.

It goes without saying that this must be the Caishikou that the boss mentioned.

Nanzhi took advantage of her small size and squeezed to the front. Because she was polite and pretty, the people who were originally very angry no longer got angry.

Seeing the pretty boy smiling at me and apologizing politely, no matter how angry I was, I couldn't get angry.

When Nanzhi walked to the front, she saw Butcher Chen with a pale face, chapped lips, and blood all over his body. He was tied up with a sign stuck behind his back. He was kneeling there, facing them.

Nanzhi saw that his mouth was moving as if he wanted to say something. Nanzhi wanted to move closer to listen, but was pushed back fiercely by the yamen runner who was blocking the way in front of him.

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer!"

Nanzhi was caught off guard and was almost pushed down, fortunately a hand supported her from behind.

Nanzhi turned around and saw that it was Liuyue. Just as she was about to say thank you, the words that came out of her mouth immediately became: "Master Liuyue, it's you! It's great to have you."

Liu Yue has become immune to the sweet words of this prince.

She has listened to it a lot during this period.

Nanzhi saw Liu Yue nodded, and then he turned his eyes to Butcher Chen on the stage.

Nanzhi pricked up his ears and listened to the people around him discussing Butcher Chen on the stage.

"Hey! Actually, this Fatty Chen is quite nice. Every time he sees a poor person, he always gives him an extra pound of meat."

"Why is he so depressed? If he really can't make it, he can go to a brothel!"

"Who says it's not?"

"Hey! Why is he so impulsive? I advised him to find a wife and start a family, but he just wouldn't listen. Now look what's going on!"

"Hey!"
