One touch and one silence

It’s someone from the palace, right?

Wait for her.

Nanzhi let go of his hand in disgust, returned to the Dali Temple, and asked someone to find a piece of charcoal.

Nanzhi took a piece of charcoal handed to her by the yamen runner and started drawing on the paper.

After finishing the painting, he gave it to Liu Yue.

"Go check who this person belongs to in the palace?"

"If you find him, bring him to me."

She just doesn't believe that. You all want to kill her, right? Come on!

Inside the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother received the news brought back by the nanny that their people had failed in the assassination attempt again. She cursed them as trash, unable to accept it for a moment, and fainted.

The nanny didn't dare to call the imperial physician in a public manner, so she had to ask someone to secretly go to the Imperial Hospital to invite a physician over.

A young eunuch who was sweeping the Cining Palace saw this scene, and quietly left the palace and went to a small courtyard in the cold palace.

After a while, a maid appeared in front of him.

"Sister Meixiang, the one from the Cining Palace secretly invited the imperial physician today. I noticed that the nanny beside the Queen Mother looked panicked. I'm afraid something has happened to the Queen Mother."

The eunuch didn't know what he was doing spying on the Queen Mother? It was clear that the Imperial Concubine was the Queen Mother's niece.

Meixiang pondered for a moment before saying, "You should be more careful recently and see if you can get some accurate information. Don't let anyone find out. Go back quickly!"

"Yes!"

When Meixiang got the news, she immediately went to find the imperial concubine to report the matter.

She stood in front of the imperial concubine and told her every detail of the news she had just received.

The imperial concubine suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, "It seems that my aunt, the Empress Dowager, is not feeling well. Mammy! Let's go to the Cining Palace to see my good aunt."

She wanted to go and see whether the person was really sick or not. If it was fake, it would be fine.

If true!

A crazy look flashed in Cheng Yueqing's eyes.

Take advantage of her illness and kill her!

Nanny and Meixiang had no idea what the imperial concubine was planning and thought she was just there to watch the fun.

The group arrived at the Cining Palace with great fanfare.

The nanny was getting anxious because a long time had passed and the Queen Mother still hadn't woken up.

At this time, the maid outside was heard reporting that the Imperial Concubine had come to see the Empress Dowager.

The nanny thought to herself, "Oh no!"

When Cheng Yueqing came, the nanny's anxious face changed and was filled with smiles.

"Hello, Imperial Concubine!"

"The Queen Mother has just fallen asleep. How about you wait until she wakes up before visiting her?"

Cheng Yueqing looked at the nanny beside the empress dowager, whose attitude was pretending to be respectful. If there hadn't been a hint of panic in her eyes, she would have almost thought that this person was really respectful and kind to her.

She was really blind before.

"That's not true, Ma'am. I caught a cold a few days ago, and it lasted for half a year. I haven't recovered yet, so I didn't dare to come to my aunt for fear of infecting her. Now that my aunt is sick, I haven't come to see her. I feel deeply guilty. Today, I just feel better, so I came to see my aunt."

"Don't worry, Ma'am. I'm just going to go in and see my aunt. I won't disturb her."

Cheng Yueqing has been suffering from all kinds of mental torture during this period of time, and her body has lost a lot of weight. If it is said that it is caused by illness, it makes sense.

Nanny Lu looked at Cheng Yueqing inconspicuously, but a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she rejected Cheng Yueqing's request.

"Your Highness, you know that once a person gets older, his sleep becomes very light. A random sound will wake the Queen Mother up. I hope Your Highness will sympathize with the Queen Mother's difficulties."

Cheng Yueqing felt a hint of sarcasm in her heart. She thought that maybe he had done too many bad things and was afraid now!

But her face showed a look of great concern, "Since Mammy said so, I will come to see my aunt next time!"

After saying this, he left with his men.

When the nanny saw that the imperial concubine and her people finally left, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and hurried back into the hall.

On the way back, the imperial concubine had a smile on her face all the time.

"Look, Mammy, her retribution has come, hahahaha..."

"I will keep my eyes open and see how long that old witch can live. Mammy, go and arrange some people for the Zhennan Palace to give my good cousin a surprise."

Cheng Yueqing covered her mouth and smiled exceptionally brightly.

Old witch, wait for her gift!

As soon as they returned to the palace, they received news from below.

Their assassination attempt failed!

Meixiang thought she was going to be punished again, but the imperial concubine just waved her hand and asked her to leave without saying anything.

Meixiang escaped the disaster and felt relieved. It seemed that the Seventh Prince had escaped the disaster.

She also left herself a way out.

Then I heard the Imperial Concubine speak, "I don't want any mistakes to happen in the Zhennan Palace, do you understand?"

"It would be best if some of my cousin's favorites died!"

"If you kill them all, I'll be happier."

Cheng Yueqing gave the order with a smile, as if killing someone was as easy as killing a chicken.

"Slave, you obey!"

Meixiang agreed and left the hall.

Today, thanks to the news from the Queen Mother, she was saved. She will have to give that boy some benefits later.

Royal study room.

The prince reported to the emperor about his last visit to the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.

The prince felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Prince Zhennan.

Just then, Qin Feng came in with an urgent letter.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"News just arrived from the border: Prince Zhennan has returned to the border!"

After saying this, he respectfully handed the secret letter in his hand to His Majesty.

The emperor opened the secret letter in Qin Feng's hand with a grim expression. After taking a look at it, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"That's what you said, no problem. Let me take a good look and see if there is any problem!"

The emperor threw the secret letter in his hand into the prince's face.

The border is thousands of miles away from Kyoto. When did the Prince of Zhennan sneak away? No one noticed it for such a long time.

The prince squatted down, picked up the secret letter, read the contents, and immediately panicked.

"this?"

"Father, what should we do about this matter? The Prince of Zhennan may have become suspicious of our recent actions, so he secretly left Kyoto and went to the border."

"Is the Imperial Uncle in danger now?"

The prince suddenly became anxious.

"You should think carefully about what to do if the Prince of Zhennan starts a rebellion! The people..."

"Hey!"

The emperor sat down on the chair helplessly.

Too many things have happened in the capital recently. They were busy cleaning out Prince Zhennan's people in the court and temporarily neglected Prince Zhennan himself.

Now that it has come to this, there is no way to investigate secretly anymore. Thinking of this, the emperor gritted his teeth, loosened his hands in his sleeves, and finally made a painful decision.

"Early tomorrow morning, have the Seventh Prince come down to court."

"Let her...let her get ready!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his back, and the guilt in his eyes spread throughout his body at that moment.

The prince was also feeling bad. It was all his fault. His momentary negligence led to the Prince of Zhennan's escape from the capital.

"Qin Feng, let the Prince of Zhennan come to court tomorrow. After he leaves, immediately arrest everyone in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion!"

"Remember! I want the Zhennan Palace, everyone except the Zhennan Prince, do you understand?"

The emperor's tone was as sharp and frightening as tempered ice.

"Subordinates take orders!"
