One touch and one silence

Nanzhi silently took a few steps back and returned to his seat.

As the distance between us increased, the awkward feeling finally disappeared.

"I never tell lies. Didn't you experience it just now?"

Yuan Wuqing did not delay any longer and immediately sent someone to Chen's house to investigate the case.

Nanzhi:……

"You're not going there yourself?"

Nanzhi asked in confusion. She thought this guy would bring people there personally.

"No need!" Yuan Wuqing said casually. He was just a wealthy businessman. Zhao Xiaojing could handle it without him bringing anyone with him.

"Well, I heard that they have backers behind them."

Nanzhi decided to remind this person.

The reminder has been made, and someone has brought him one, so the rest has nothing to do with her!

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

After Nanzhi finished speaking, he took Liuyue away. Yuan Wuqing looked at the two people in front of him, one tall and one short, with some respect, thinking in his heart.

It turns out that there really are people so powerful in this world. He used to be disdainful of them, but now it seems that he was too short-sighted.

Recently, all kinds of people in Kyoto have begun to emerge, and he always feels that a storm is about to come.

Nanzhi took Liuyue and turned left and right all the way back to their own courtyard.

It was already dark by this time.

As Nanzhi stepped into the mansion, an urgent summons came from the palace.

Nanzhi:……

What's the matter? Why do you need to summon her urgently?

Nanzhi inexplicably followed the eunuch into the palace, and as soon as she entered the palace, she found that the atmosphere was wrong.

The atmosphere in the palace was extremely depressing, as if it was suffocating.

As Nanzhi stepped into the imperial study, there were already several people inside.

Most of them look familiar.

The crown prince, the prime minister, the father-in-law of the emperor, Lord Cheng'en, and his son, the emperor's uncle, wow! They all look so sad, it seems they are all our own people!

What is that?

"Xiao Qi is here!"

"Greetings to the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and all the lords!"

Nanzhi greeted everyone politely, just to save face.

"Okay, I called you here today because I just received news that General Lin at the border has rebelled!"

Nanzhi:……

Isn't this what I said a few days ago? What's the big deal?

What did you call her to do?

The emperor saw Nanzhi's expression at a glance and almost died of anger on the spot.

"Oh! I wonder why Father wants Xiao Qi to come here?"

Last time, everything that should have been done had been done, and the people who should have been selected had been selected. She really didn't know what the emperor wanted her to do now.

The prince felt the awkwardness of the situation and stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.

"Xiao Qi, Father wants to let you know about this matter. There may still be remnants of the Zhennan King's people in Kyoto. You should be careful when traveling."

Forehead!

That's it!

Nanzhi finally understood, "Thank you for your concern, father and prince. Xiaoqi understands."

As long as you keep a close eye on the Queen Mother in the palace, she won't be afraid of anything.

"Aren't you worried about Xiaoqi, a prince?" Finally, the emperor was so angry at Nanzhi, the unfilial son, for her indifferent and nonchalant attitude that he couldn't help but question her.

Nanzhi was puzzled. What did she mean by not worried? Wasn't she worried that she would be backfired on several times because of them and almost lose her life?

She has done everything she should do, what else does this cheap dad want her to do?

What can she, a child with no power or influence, do?

"Father, you are joking. I have done everything I can. With you, the Crown Prince, and other close ministers here, it is not my turn to worry."

Nanzhi's words were straightforward, which blocked the emperor's words.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince is right. His Majesty is also worried about your safety." The Prime Minister came out and explained dryly, giving both of them a way out.

Nanzhi knew that the emperor wanted to see her for something, otherwise he would not have summoned her so urgently in the middle of the night.

For the so-called comfort, ghosts believe it.

"Father, please tell me directly if you have anything to say. For the stability of the Great Ling Dynasty, I am willing to do my best."

Nanzhi was too lazy to go around in circles with these people. She was really annoyed by their procrastination.

Cough!

"Well, last time, your Highness arrested those people from the Zhennan King, and many of them were unwilling to speak. Now I have to trouble your Highness to help interrogate them."

Duke Cheng'en finally understood.

The person sitting above has something to ask of His Highness, but because of his status, he can't bring himself to do it, so he is picking on His Highness the Seventh Prince? He wants to force His Highness the Seventh Prince to speak up.

Got it!

So that’s what happened!

Simple!

"Since this is the matter, I understand. Then I'll have to trouble the Prime Minister and me to come together!"

There must be a witness who can speak. She doesn't want to go through the tiring interrogation and then have to report to the emperor.

"Go!"

The emperor seemed a little embarrassed for once, and his tone softened a lot.

Look!

It was as if she was asking for trouble, and this was why she didn't like the palace.

It's just a matter of one sentence, but you beat around the bush and think a lot.

"My son, please retire!"

Nanzhi said something perfunctorily to the emperor above, then turned and left.

"Hahahaha, this Seventh Prince is a real person! This old minister likes him."

Nanzhi walked to the door and heard what her cheap uncle said, and she curled her lips.

True temperament?

If she really showed her true nature, the first person who couldn't stand it would probably be the one sitting in the high position.

Nanzhi and the prime minister took a sedan chair to the Dali Temple and went directly to the death row.

Yuan Wuqing had not returned yet. When he was reading the news brought back by Zhao Xiaojing today, he heard Zhao Xiaojing tell him that the Seventh Prince and the Prime Minister were both in the death row.

He put down what he was holding and went to the death row.

Nanzhi asked the prime minister beside him, "Who do you want to investigate first, Prime Minister?"

"Is it the secret guard of the Prince of Zhennan or someone else?"

The secret guards don't know much, but the Marquis of Qingnan knows more.

Of course, the ones who knew the most were the Queen Mother and her maid.

How much can the emperor find out by catching these minions?

"Who do you think should be investigated first?"

Nanzhi inspected the people in the death row. They had taken off their official uniforms long ago and put on prisoner uniforms. There were bloodstains on their bodies, probably because they had been tortured.

"Whoever has a tight mouth goes first. You decide."

Nanzhi found a chair and sat down. She was really tired today.

I came to work overtime without even having dinner.

If it were in her previous life, she would definitely sue her father for child abuse.

"Your Highness, why don't you try the Marquis of Qingnan first?"

"also!"

Nanzhi casually patted another chair beside him and said, "Old man, come and sit down. I don't know when this interrogation will end. Some of us are tired."

The Prime Minister looked at Nanzhi's expression and sat over happily, "Then I'll listen to Your Highness."

"Go and bring all his family members out and keep them next door so they can listen carefully." Nanzhi ordered in a low voice.

The prime minister was not far away, and his eyes lit up when he heard this. Why didn't he think of this?
