One touch and one silence

Nanzhi suddenly grinned and said, "Because father is not your aunt's biological son!"

Nanzhi's words caused the Duke of Fuguo, who had just stood up, to collapse again in an instant.

Yuan Wuqing: It’s over…it’s over. Will he be able to see the sun tomorrow?

“This is sheer nonsense!”

The Duke of Fuguo tried hard to hold back from falling, and stubbornly refuted Nanzhi's words.

"Don't rush to refute. Since this prince dares to say it, he has the evidence in his hand."

"Do you think that if you kill someone, no one will know about it?"

"Do you really believe that the dead are the safest?"

Nanzhi couldn't help laughing.

It's so funny. With me here, there's no way you can keep the secret, unless everyone who has experienced this is dead.

Are you confused?

The main goal is to deceive him.

As for evidence, this old guy is the only witness.

Only then did the Duke of Fuguo realize that he had underestimated this prince. He did not expect that the matter they thought was airtight had already been known to others.

He looked at the expression on the prime minister's face, then compared it with the surprised Yuan Wuqing, and instantly understood.

But I will never admit this matter even if I die.

"Your Highness is such a good talker and has such a rich imagination. It's a shame that he doesn't write a picture book!"

Nanzhi was not at all polite and accepted all the praise from the Duke of Fuguo.

"Hey, don't praise me so much. It makes me feel embarrassed."

Yuan Wuqing: Is this a compliment?

Prime Minister: Your Highness the Seventh Prince is really naughty.

Liu Yue: The master has become much more shameless.

The Duke of Fuguo was so angry at Nanzhi that he closed his eyes. He was afraid that if he continued watching, he would poke his own eyes out.

If you close your eyes, I will let you go? Impossible? She is waiting to finish early and leave work early?

"Hey! Are you afraid that my father will find out that he is not the empress dowager's son, but the son of Concubine Yuanhe? Are you afraid that His Majesty will come after you after he finds out?"

When the Duke of Fuguo heard this, his heart trembled. His eyelids moved a few times and he forced himself to close his eyes, fearing that if he opened his eyes, they would see some emotion in his eyes.

Where did this seventh prince come from? How did he know so much? Who on earth was he?

It is terrible!

Nanzhi saw that the man still had his eyes closed and said, "Okay... you want me to stay late, right?"

"How about I tell you a story?"

Nanzhi didn't care whether he wanted to listen or not and just went straight to the point.

"Legend has it that there was an emperor who, following the advice of his family and ministers, married a so-called virtuous queen. However, the emperor didn't like her, but what? He was still forced to marry her by everyone."

"After marrying her, he found out that he had met this girl once before and that he had saved her. It was said that one time, the girl was traveling and encountered bandits. The emperor, who was still the crown prince, stepped out to save the beauty. Then the girl fell in love with him, who was still the crown prince."

"It's a pity that the prince has seen all kinds of beauties. He is looking for a woman who shares the same interests and hobbies as him. So after marriage, this woman naturally cannot be favored by the prince. She thought that one day, that man would have her in his heart. So she kept waiting, until the third year."

"The prince finally met the girl he liked. Everything about that girl seemed to be created according to his preferences, just to marry him."

"The prince was overjoyed and took her back to the East Palace. Not long after, the previous emperor passed away and the prince ascended the throne. He originally wanted to make his beloved the queen, but the ministers opposed it."

"In desperation, she was only given the title of Imperial Concubine. The woman didn't care about her status and just wanted to be with the one she loved. The Queen was also smart for once and listened to the guidance of the nanny. She went to contact the Imperial Concubine."

"But the longer they were together, the more jealous she became of the emperor's favor towards the imperial concubine. She followed Nanny's advice and wisely started by being a good sister to the woman. It wasn't until the imperial concubine became pregnant that the woman was afraid that she would be the first to give birth to a son and become the next emperor, so she planned a plan for the emperor to visit her."

To be honest, the emperor was quite naive, but the empress dowager was indeed a good actor.

Nanzhi saw Yuan Wuqing looking at her with longing on his face, his eyes urging her to speak quickly.

Boy, you're going to regret it later.

"She was drunk to death, how could she have such ability? The emperor was stupid at that time. A month later, she was also diagnosed with pregnancy, so she went to the imperial concubine to confess and made all kinds of promises. The imperial concubine was also stupid and forgave this scheming woman."

When Yuan Wuqing heard this, he couldn't help but ponder. Is it true? How did the Seventh Prince know this? Is it really impossible? He was a little skeptical.

He silently looked at the Seventh Prince who was still telling a story, his eyes full of confusion.

Nanzhi ignored Yuan Wuqing's gaze, and continued to tell the story as she saw that the boy's heart was about to be broken by her.

"The woman also thought about having an abortion, but she thought that the emperor was unwilling to favor someone else, and she still loved this man in her heart, so she didn't do it in the end, and she came up with a plan to replace the prince with a cat."

"I have to say that this plan was quite successful. The Emperor and the Concubine were completely unprepared. What they didn't know was that the midwives in the Concubine's palace and her wet nurse had all become the Queen's people. On the day the Concubine gave birth, the Queen was so worried about the Concubine that she became pregnant and was about to give birth."

"Until the imperial concubine gave birth to a son, the midwife replaced the baby with a skinned cat slave. The imperial concubine fainted out of fright, and everyone in the imperial concubine's palace was in a panic. Who cared that someone had secretly taken the child to the queen's palace?"

"Not long after, the news that the queen had safely given birth to a son spread throughout the palace."

"Do you feel familiar, my Lord Fuguogong?"

Nanzhi's words frightened Duke Fuguo, and he tried hard to remain calm.

This was something his father had told him before he died. His father had told him this because he was afraid that the Cheng family would decline in the future, so he wanted to guard against his aunt. What his father had said was exactly the same as what his father had said back then. In some places, it was even more detailed than what his father had said, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

"Your Highness tells stories so well. It would be a pity if you didn't become a storyteller!"

When Nanzhi saw the trembling hands of the Duke of Fuguo, what was there that she didn't understand?

"It's not over yet, don't be anxious!" Old man, let's see how long you can hold on.

"This imperial concubine! She was so frightened when she learned that she had given birth to such a horrible thing. At the same time, she blamed herself for being too willful and immature with the emperor, which led to her child becoming like this. Within half a year, she became ill with depression and there was no cure. She just passed away. Countless times when the queen came to her with her child to show off, she didn't know that the child in front of her was actually her own son."

"The queen finally achieved her goal. She naively thought that after this woman died, the emperor would always look at her. Unfortunately, she was disappointed. The emperor still did not look at her more, or at anyone else."

"Over time, she began to have a desire for revenge. Then a scheming prince came and tried to please the queen under the pretext of comforting the emperor. As time went by, one wanted revenge on the man, and the other wanted the throne, so the two of them became a couple."

"The emperor finally couldn't stand the departure of his lover. He held out for three months and then passed away. Before he died, he appointed the son of the queen, the child of the imperial concubine, as the crown prince. He also found many ministers to assist him."

"Less than a month after the late emperor died, the empress dowager found out she was pregnant. She didn't expect she could get pregnant again, so she wanted to kill the imperial concubine's child, but she was afraid it was a girl. She waited until the child was almost two years old. That child later became a posthumous child. It wasn't until the belly was four months old that it was confirmed it was a boy. By the time she wanted to take action, it was too late. The little emperor was supervised by the ministers during the day and stayed with the mother-in-law arranged by the late emperor at night, because he was afraid that the empress's relatives would monopolize power."

"One wrong step, all wrong. How about that? Does it feel familiar? Our Lord Fuguogong?"

Yuan Wuqing: ...

Only then did Yuan Wuqing fully react.

It’s over, it’s over. I will never be able to live. He knows everything!

Is this something that a foreign official like him could know?

Then he looked at the prime minister beside him. The prime minister had a blank expression on his face and was very calm. When the two of them were compared, the difference in their appearance was immediately apparent.

The prime minister is worthy of the title, and he admires him.

Nanzhi stared at the Duke of Fuguo with a smile on her face, which made the Duke of Fuguo feel that this person was a devil.

It was especially like a demon from hell running back to seek revenge on them.
