One touch and one silence

Manager Li hurried out and his face was filled with joy when he saw Nanzhi.

"Hey! Seventh Prince, you finally came to see our Crown Prince. Our Crown Prince has been worried about you and said he would come to see you, but he has not been able to find the time these past two days. It is a coincidence that you came to see the Crown Prince today."

"Manager Li! Is the prince here?" Nanzhi asked.

"Yes... yes, please come in, Your Highness the Seventh Prince!"

Manager Li happily led Nanzhi in, and asked about Nanzhi's health worriedly along the way.

Nanzhi looked at this guy's concern for her, which didn't seem fake, and couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, Manager Li, everything is fine."

When Nanzhi arrived at the prince's study, she saw the young man hurriedly tidying up his clothes.

"Xiao Qi is here!"

"How have you been these days? Are you feeling unwell?"

Nanchen strode forward with concern, looked at Nanzhi's small body, and examined her up and down.

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to visit you. When I'm done with this, I'll take you out for a walk."

Nanzhi smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. She rejected his approach.

"Xiao Qi came here at this time to ask if you received the message I gave to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The prince knew that Nanzhi was talking about the affairs of the Qingnan Marquis' Mansion.

"Brother Crown Prince has already made arrangements. We will just have to wait for the next two days to close the net. Thanks to Xiao Qi, otherwise Brother Crown Prince would not have known that there are such powerful and influential families in the capital who are involved in this matter."

Nanzhi knew that the prince had his own plans, so he stopped asking about the matter and told him the main purpose of his visit today.

"Xiao Qi came here today for another matter. Recently, many wealthy families in Beijing have had their properties stolen. The Dali Temple in Beijing has also received reports of the case and is investigating the matter together with the county government."

"Xiao Qi happened to meet this person once. He is a kind-hearted guy. He was just instigated by others to do business of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. He has investigated those people and found that they are all rich but unkind people."

The prince listened quietly to Nanzhi's story, somewhat confused about Xiaoqi's intention.

Are you going to say something good about this person? Who is this person? What is his relationship with Xiao Qi?

"He's just a bandit, just let him go. Don't worry, Xiaoqi, the prince can still make the decision on this matter." Nanchen said it very easily, as if it was a very small matter.

Hey!

She knew it!

"That's not what Xiao Qi meant!"

"This person has no life on his hands, and the power behind him cannot be underestimated. If we give him a chance and they help our royal family in times of crisis, it will only benefit us and not harm us."

"My royal brother also knows how deep this Zhennan King is. If we give him a chance in this matter, the person behind him will be grateful. If we insist on catching him, I am afraid that he will be pushed to the opposite side by us, and it will be hard to say what will happen then."

The prince then understood Nanzhi's intention. He wanted him to use this man's theft to exchange for the power behind the thief.

What power do the thieves have that is worth Xiao Qi's efforts?

Nanzhi understood the prince's doubts.

"This man is the youngest son of a very influential person in the martial arts world. His brothers and sisters are all well-known figures in the martial arts world. They are the kind of people who can attract countless people to follow them blindly when they raise their arms. Do you understand?"

Nanzhi thought, I have made myself clear enough, please think carefully about it.

The prince immediately understood Nanzhi's meaning.

"Xiao Qi is right. Now the prince understands. But what should I do so that he can know?"

Nanzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have any underworld people around you? After you settle this matter, use this person's mouth to spread the word."

"But you can't say you're bending the law for personal gain. As for other matters, how you decide to do them is up to you. Xiao Qi won't get involved."

"Send someone to get a piece of charcoal. Xiaoqi will draw this man's face for you."

Manager Li quickly asked someone to go to the small kitchen to get a piece of charcoal.

When Nanzhi held the charcoal in her hand, she glanced at Manager Li. This guy was really thoughtful and found a thin piece for her.

He was so thoughtful, she was a little envious.

Nanzhi walked to the prince's desk. The prince quickly spread out the paper. Nanzhi thought about the boy's appearance the last time he saw him.

With a few strokes on the paper, he roughly drew the person's appearance, and then the facial features.

The prince looked at the painting in Nanzhi's hand and was secretly surprised. This person looked just like the real person? What kind of painting skill was this? How come he had never seen it before?

Nanzhi finished drawing the figure and threw away the charcoal in his hand. "Xiaoqi has done what needs to be done. The rest is up to you, Prince."

"Let me remind you, Xiaoqi, that the people in the martial arts world are different from the rest of us. They are very loyal, and this person has a pure heart. You must not act rashly."

After giving the reminder, Nanzhi said goodbye.

"I have already told the Crown Prince the purpose of Xiao Qi's visit. Xiao Qi will not interfere in the rest of the matter. Goodbye!"

"Wait!" The prince hurriedly stopped Xiaoqi who was about to leave.

"You came here and ran away after saying that. At least sit down for a while and talk to my brother."

Nanzhi had finished her work and she didn't want to stay any longer.

"Your Highness should quickly arrange this matter. He will be back in a few days and will return all the ill-gotten gains that he stole. Don't miss this opportunity."

Since ancient times, officials, businessmen and royal family members have never had contact with people from the underworld. This time is a good opportunity.

It depends on whether the prince can catch him.

Seeing that Nanzhi was determined to leave, and that what she said was indeed urgent, the prince did not stop her.

He asked Butler Li to send a lot of good things to the Seventh Prince's mansion.

As soon as Nanzhi left the East Palace, the emperor got the news.

The emperor, who was reviewing memorials, threw down his pen in anger.

"I knew it. Once that brat left the palace, he wouldn't even know who his father was."

"Look, she's been gone for almost a month, and she hasn't come to greet me yet. What a ..."

He swallowed back the word "rebellious son".

"I am so angry. You have time to look for the prince but no time to come and see me?"

The emperor was either jealous of the seventh prince or on the way to jealousy, and he was always jealous of his son.

The memorial was no longer interesting, so he just threw it away and went out for a walk, otherwise he was afraid that he would be angry to death.

Manager Xu secretly covered the smile on his lips with his sleeves.

The emperor, who was walking in front, heard a noise behind him. When he turned around, he saw Manager Xu laughing secretly.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and his tone was filled with an inaudible chill, "What are you laughing at, Chief Steward Xu? Tell me about it."

The emperor's words made Manager Xu's mouth stiffen.

"Your Majesty, I think you miss the Seventh Prince. Why don't you just call him into the palace? It's not worth it if you get angry here and ruin your health."

The emperor thought that if he was really angry, the boy probably wouldn't care.

The emperor did have some regrets. He had ignored her simply because she was cowardly and unpresentable, and he hated her.
