One touch and one silence

"You and I……"

The Duke of Fuguo trembled and pointed at the southern branch.

Nanzhi felt that this person might have a fragile heart and would not be angered to death by herself.

Her medicine was too strong?

Can't?

This old guy even dared to steal silver from the national treasury. Can he be scared by such a small thing?

She had some doubts.

"This Duke wants to see Your Majesty, otherwise this Duke will not say a word." The Duke of Fuguo yelled at Nanzhi and others.

Nanzhi thought this sentence sounded so similar to that one. I'll wait for my lawyer to come, otherwise I won't say a word.

You know what, they really look alike.

Nanzhi crossed his legs and replied nonchalantly, "Oh! Then forget it. My father doesn't have time to see you."

If the Duke of Fuguo's eyes could kill, Nanzhi would have died several times by now.

"Don't look at me like that. I've already done it. Why are you afraid of what others will say?"

Nanzhi rolled her eyes speechlessly.

But the Duke of Fuguo was so angry that he covered his chest as if he was about to die.

"Don't be angry! My father knew about your troubles a long time ago. He just wanted to see if you have any remorse. But from what I see today, you don't have any remorse at all!"

"Well, let me tell you something. You have to hold on! The money you stole from the national treasury, plus the money you embezzled over the years, has all been confiscated and is now in His Majesty's treasury. Are you surprised? Are you shocked?"

"It's a pity that I've worked so hard for so many years!" Nanzhi said with great emotion.

But she felt regretful in her heart, because she was the one who found all the information, and there was no Mao Duo.

The stingy emperor!

The Duke of Fuguo couldn't hold on for a moment and fainted on the spot.

Nanzhi was so frightened that he stood up immediately and anxiously called out to the people around him, "Liuyue, go and have a look quickly, don't wait and get yourself scared to death."

Liu Yue hurriedly walked in, stretched out two fingers and pressed on the neck of the Duke of Fuguo to test it, and replied, "Your Highness, don't worry, he just fainted. Do you want to wake him up?"

"Pinch his philtrum to wake him up." He is working overtime now, and she doesn't want to waste his time endlessly.

Liu Yue followed Nanzhi's instructions and pinched the philtrum of the Duke of Fuguo.

"Well!"

Nanzhi walked over, squatted on the ground, and looked at the Vice Duke who had woken up.

"Wake up!"

Nanzhi reached out and patted his shoulder, with an expression that showed some regret and a sense of being disappointed in his friend.

"You can't do this. Look how scared you are by just this little thing."

Duke Fuguo almost laughed out loud again.

He had never seen such a person in his life. He was almost pissed off to death by a child.

Can he not be angry?

So much silver, the wealth accumulated from two dynasties! Just gone like that!

He was so sad that he had no tears! If there were no one here, he would really sit on the ground and cry.

Nanzhi looked at his eyes with tears in them and consoled him, "Why cry? It's not yours anyway."

Prince of the State: ...

Yuan Wuqing lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hands, laughing secretly.

This prince is really a ruthless person, killing people and destroying their hearts. Fortunately, he has never offended her, otherwise...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Prince Fuguo, think about it, you are so old now, and you can't take the money with you, right? Instead of giving it to your son to squander, why not give it to the emperor? It can benefit the people of the world."

Duke Fuguo: I can go and benefit the people of the world, but they are not my people, so what benefit can I provide?

At this time, the Duke of Fuguo was lying on the ground, breathing heavily, as if he was about to die.

"Well, don't be angry!" Nanzhi looked at him like this and always felt that something was not right. She was afraid that she would make him angry and something bad would happen to him.

He turned around and said, "Someone, go get the doctor!"

"Duke Fuguo, we have to be more open-minded. Think about it, the emperor didn't get angry with you when he knew you replaced his son. At most he was just furious. You are very different from him. Don't have a fragile heart. Learn from our Majesty." Nanzhi comforted.

"So, my lord should thank you for your comfort?"

"You're welcome, we're family!" Nanzhi shamelessly pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his words.

Nanzhi watched as the old man's face regained some color and continued to stab him, "To be honest, you are really stupid. Your concubine switched the baby, and you didn't even know about it?"

After Nanzhi finished speaking, she lowered her head and whispered in the Duke's ear, "The little baby almost died. If there hadn't been a kind-hearted person who took pity on her and raised her, I'm afraid the crime of murdering the princess would have fallen on you."

The look in the Duke's eyes changed slightly, and he asked with difficulty, "Where is she?"

He didn't believe it at first, but the boy told him a few things that were exactly the same as what he saw on the spot, which made him believe it a little.

Nanzhi stood up and looked down at the man lying on the ground.

"It's not something you should know about where it is. It's ok that your son cheated an innocent girl, but he also allowed others to hurt that poor girl. Fuguogong~Fuguogong, do you think he should die? Hmm~"

Nanzhi did not mention who it was, for fear that it would be bad for her reputation if it got out.

Anyway, that guy has cheated a lot of girls, so go ahead and guess!

Nanzhi looked at the vice-duke steadily and asked in confusion, "You have kept all these things from the imperial concubine. Isn't she your biological sister? Why doesn't your sister have your aunt? This prince doesn't understand very well."

Nanzhi really didn’t understand. How could siblings, born of the same mother, be no match for a powerful aunt?

She actually found it a bit ironic.

"What do you know as a little kid? For the sake of the family, what should be given up will be given up, and what should be sacrificed will be sacrificed. This is her honor and her obligation." The Duke of Fuguo angrily refuted Nanzhi's words, as if he was mocking her for not understanding the importance of family.

Such high-sounding words made Nanzhi happy immediately.

She acknowledged that the prosperity of a family was closely related to the people in this family, but why should only women be sacrificed?

"Why should the imperial concubine sacrifice herself for the family? Why can't you do the same and enjoy the benefits of sacrificing a woman? Why don't you sacrifice yourself and give up something?"

"Shame on you!" Nanzhi cursed mercilessly.

"You're talking nonsense. Didn't the Duke of this country give her his son? He helped her to consolidate her favor!"

Nanzhi was speechless for a moment. Is the imperial concubine a woman who needs to be favored?

Is she the one who doesn't want her own child just to consolidate her favor? It's ridiculous.

She and the emperor are childhood sweethearts. How could you want your son to be favored by her? It's so funny.

Nanzhi squatted down and said mysteriously, "According to my investigation, you told the imperial concubine that she gave birth to a stillborn baby because of her poor health and her inability to control her temper during pregnancy, which led to the fetus's death. Those are your original words, right?"

The Duke of Fuguo was frightened by Nanzhi's words. How did she know such a confidential matter? The Duke of Fuguo's fat body was trembling. His lips trembled and he asked her stutteringly, "How...how did you know?"

Nanzhi smiled meaningfully when she heard his words.

"I've told you that if you don't want others to know, you better not do it yourself. Why don't you believe it?"

"Impossible. It was just me and my aunt at the time... Was it that nanny who told you?"

"That makes sense. No one else knew about this except her. If I had known, I should have killed her."

There was a fierce look in the Duke of Fuguo's eyes, and he felt extremely regretful.

Tsk tsk tsk!

You were so fragile just now, but now you have murderous intentions?

People~

"Duke Fuguo! You see, His Majesty knows so many things, but he hasn't touched you. Why? He's giving you the chance, it depends on whether you can seize it." Nanzhi advised earnestly.

"How are you going?"

When the Duke of Fuguo saw that this man had finally revealed his purpose, he supported himself with his hands and stood up with great effort.

Nanzhi watched his actions but didn't care. She turned around and went back to the chair and sat down.

"Father has two questions. First, he has treated you very well and doted on you. Why did you betray him and help the Prince of Zhennan to rebel?"

The Duke of Fuguo listened to this question and sneered in his heart, why? Why else? Could he say that it was because the emperor was not his aunt's biological son, but the Prince of Zhennan was?

Can he say it?

He can't say.

"It is true that I, the old minister, have failed Your Majesty. I admit it!"

Nanzhi shook her head, "No, no, no! It's not that you admit it, it's that you're afraid!"

Nanzhi raised his middle finger and shook it, rejecting the Duke of Fuguo's words.

"Oh! Then what do you think is the reason?" The Duke of Fuguo glanced at the short little kid in front of him with displeasure.
