One touch and one silence

At the same time, in the dungeon of the cold palace, a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask on his face walked in.

He bowed respectfully to the woman lying on the bed.

"Meet the Queen Mother!"

"You came?"

The woman's calm voice surprised the masked man.

As soon as the masked man raised his hand, the lock on the cell door broke.

"Let's go!"

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother remained unmoved and rejected his proposal.

"No! Now is not the time!"

"My good son will be very happy now, thinking that he has everything under control."

"I guess he has already let his guard down. I am just waiting for him to kneel down and beg me. Don't you think this is fun?"

There was actually a hint of a smile on the Queen Mother's face.

This surprised the masked man.

"I'm afraid all of the lineage of the Zhennan King has died. Now only the one at the border is pregnant with one child. Your Majesty, aren't you worried?"

The Queen Mother said with disdain, "My good son has grown up under my protection all his life, but now he is so stupid that he doesn't know what's going on."

"That is, he has some talent when it comes to women, just like his dead father."

"Intelligence is not inherited at all, but stupidity is inherited 100%."

The masked man chuckled and agreed.

"It seems that the Queen Mother really disdains our prince?"

The queen mother looked at the masked man with murderous intent. "Even if he is no longer my son, I can say it, but you can't?"

This sentence is full of threat.

The Queen Mother no longer had the desire to speak, and she said calmly, "Find a way to send the prince to accompany my grandchildren!"

"I don't have anything good to give as a gift, so I'll just send a prince down to apologize to them!" It was a small token of her appreciation as a grandmother.

The masked man agreed, bowed respectfully, then turned and left the dungeon.

The dungeon fell into silence again, and the Queen Mother lay back down on the cold, hard bed.

This is the first time since she was born that she has spent so many days in such a bad environment.

But when she thought about the future, a smile appeared on her face again.

No pain No gain.

When she learned that Qilianshan had been destroyed, she realized that the emperor had discovered their affairs.

She had originally not planned to use these people now; they had almost been forgotten by her. She had intended to use them only when she sat in the supreme position.

Pity!

But it’s not impossible now!

Nanyu, didn't you let me experience this kind of pain? I let you experience it too.

Thinking of this, the empress dowager's brows relaxed and she slowly closed her eyes.

Tonight is like a quiet woman, quietly revealing her mysterious veil.

Gradually, a misty veil like a cicada's wing appeared in the air, lingering like light smoke. Fine rain seemed like cow hair and flower needles, slowly falling and gently hitting the leaves and the palace walls, as if nature was whispering, telling the unknown secret.

However, except for those hurried patrols, no one was willing to listen to what the drizzle was murmuring.

East Palace!

In the brightly lit study, the prince was still awake. After he sneezed twice in succession, Steward Li hurried forward and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin with a shovel.

"My Lord, it's late, time to go to bed!"

The prince had just finished reading the memorial in his hand when he heard Eunuch Li urging him to rest.

"Alright!"

After the prince finished speaking, he put down the memorial in his hand, and Steward Li quickly picked up a cloak and put it on the prince.

He casually took the lantern that the eunuch at the door was holding and carefully used it to light the way for the prince.

The prince stepped out of the study and glanced at the steps, which were already soaked.

He looked up at the sky and felt the thick humidity in the air.

He sighed and said, "It's going to rain!" He didn't know what happened to Xiaoqi. The prince frowned slightly when he thought of this.

Li Zongguan agreed with a smile, "Your Highness, isn't this what it's like in winter?"

"Watch your step!"

The prince followed the footsteps of Li Zongguan and gradually disappeared into the night.

The Seventh Prince’s Mansion!

At this time, there were people like the prince who had not yet fallen asleep late at night.

She was even missed by others. As the year drew to a close, Nanzhi felt more and more sad, and she didn't even know what she was sad about.

Maybe it's the gap, maybe it's the nostalgia, maybe it's the worry.

Nanzhi also understood that nothing else had happened in Kyoto recently, and there was no news of rebellion. It was obvious that the border was under control.

Then why is her heart always restless?

Thinking that the Chinese New Year was only ten days away, she suddenly wanted to know what the news at the border was now?

"Liu Yue, tomorrow you go ask someone about the current situation at the border."

Liu Yue nodded in agreement, reminding Nanzhi as well.

"Your Highness, it's already very late. You should go to bed. Didn't you say before that it's not good for children to stay up late?"

When Nanzhi heard this, she suddenly laughed.

When she turned to look at Liu Yue who had a serious expression, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She was just joking when she said this.

But when it comes from the mouth of an ancient person, it has a different meaning.

Nanzhi awkwardly touched the corner of his mouth, then stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

He muttered, "Go to sleep, listen to my Liu Yue."

Liu Yue, who was following Nanzhi, heard his master's muttering and a smile appeared on his face.

She picked up the cloak and put it on Nanzhi's shoulders.

As soon as Nanzhi stepped out of the door, she felt the cold wind and drizzle of winter.

She raised her head, looked at it, looked a little depressed, and sighed.

"It's raining again!" So annoying!

Liu Yue didn't understand. Isn't it normal to rain? Why did the master have such an expression?

This thing is not something that humans can control?

Liu Yue really couldn't understand why his master always felt depressed every time he saw it raining.

In the cold wind, two figures, one big and one small, gradually went away.

There are many people like them who are still awake late at night.

At this time, at the border thousands of miles away, Yu Qinglin was discussing things with King Yulin, when he heard Cheng Feng's happy voice coming from outside.

"General!"

"Your Majesty! Good news!"

The two of them were stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you, not quite understanding for a moment. What good news?

"Greetings, Your Majesty, General!"

Cheng Feng bowed respectfully to the two of them, and Yulin Wang Zhijie spoke up, "Okay, let's quickly tell us what the news is!"

Cheng Feng immediately and happily conveyed the news he had just received to the two people present.

King Yulin stood up in disbelief and asked uncertainly?

"Is this serious?"

"Who brought the news?" Yu Qinglin frowned. He was not overwhelmed by the good news at first.

With a clear mind, he asked Cheng Feng, who passed on the information? What if the enemy misled them?

You have to know that there are countless conspiracies and intrigues on the battlefield.

King Yulin was also looking at Cheng Feng at this time, waiting for him to answer Yu Qinglin's question. He also wanted to know.
