One touch and one silence

It was not until Shuhua came to invite her to dinner that Nanzhi put down her sketchbook and went to the dining room.

This winter, Nanzhi still wanted to eat goose stewed in an iron pot, and Shuhua did as Nanzhi instructed.

But she didn't get to eat a single bite. Yesterday, she watched Doctor Xu, Liu Yue, Yuan Wuqing and the other two eating with relish.

She could only eat her bland food, and now even Old Man Xu wouldn't let her eat chili peppers.

She was speechless in rebuttal to the statement that it is easy to get angry in winter.

Nanzhi didn't have much anticipation for today's New Year's Eve dinner.

There is no need to think about it, those people will definitely cook light dishes for her again, and the thought of it makes her have no appetite.

But she is not a person who kills fun. It is better to be happy during the New Year.

Nanzhi rubbed his face and tried to smile.

When she arrived at the dining hall, there were already a lot of people there. Nanzhi looked around and saw that they were all wearing new clothes. They looked so festive, which was especially suitable for the New Year atmosphere.

Liu Yue was dressed in bright red today, even the ribbon in her hair was red, which made her skin look particularly fair.

What a heroic beauty.

"Happy New Year, Your Majesty!"

The three of them bowed to Nanzhi in unison, and Nanzhi raised his hand slightly.

"No need to be polite, let's have fun together!"

"You are dressed really well today. You look good. You should wear it like this."

"Liu Yue's skin looks especially fair in the clothes she wears today. It's no exaggeration to describe her as beautiful as a fairy."

"Old man, the black gown you are wearing today makes you look a lot younger. You should wear it like this. It makes you look energetic!"

"And Yuan Wuqing, you should have dressed like this a long time ago. You are such a handsome young man, but you are always wearing black. How can you find a wife? I remember your mother was worried about you getting married until her hair turned white."

"Just wear it like this from now on. No worries if there are no girls who like it."

After being praised by Nanzhi, the three of them smiled.

"Your Highness is wearing a nice outfit today. The pink color makes him look more lively and energetic."

Nanzhi:? ? ?

"Yes, the prince is very cute with his pink skin, just as pretty as the fairy boy sitting on Guanyin."

Nanzhi nodded slightly in her heart. That’s right. She was indeed dressed in pink today, and she thought it looked good too.

This dress was made for her stitch by stitch by calligraphy and painting.

Liu Yue listened to the two people's praise, and the corners of his mouth twitched. They all said it, so he had to say something wrong no matter what.

"You two are right. Liu Yue thinks so too."

Nanzhi:……

Perfunctory!

She had never seen such perfunctory treatment.

Forget it, let’s eat!

"Hurry up and sit down. Let's eat."

Although everyone sitting here is far away from home, they are now sitting at the same table, spending New Year's Eve together. Nanzhi feels that this is fate.

People were chatting animatedly inside the house, and it was also very lively outside. All the people in Anle Palace gathered together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

The newcomers have already become friends with those from Kyoto.

There was only one person who was eating his meal without any taste in this lively scene.

The meal lasted until very late because these people wanted to stay up all night. They knew that their master was not in good health and would definitely not last until that time.

So they just kept up vigil for their masters, hoping that their masters would be happy, worry-free, and live a long and peaceful life.

Nanzhi's biological clock now makes her yawn and fall asleep at a certain time.

The three people in the room were playing chess, and their voices were very low.

Liu Yue watched quietly, and when the time came, the three of them dispersed. Liu Yue carried Nanzhi back to the prince's bedroom.

In fact, the night scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is very beautiful, and people set off fireworks all night long. Everyone in Anle Palace knew that the master was not feeling well in the winter, so they did not go out and stayed with the master.

Liu Yue did not sleep all night. He flew to the roof and looked at the fireworks outside. The brilliant moment of the fireworks was particularly beautiful, but Liu Yue's brows were furrowed particularly deeply.

When she thought of what Doctor Xu said, her heart felt particularly sour and as if needles were pricking her chest. At this moment, she felt a trace of hatred in her heart.

I hate God’s injustice.

The master is such a good person, but now he can't even eat spicy food. The master loves spicy food and likes it the most, but now he can't eat it at all.

Today, when she saw her master come in, the first thing she saw was the food on the table. She saw the disappointment on his face.

At that time, she even had an impulse to satisfy her master's taste at all costs, but reason told her that she couldn't do that, unless she wanted her master to die faster.

Only the two of them knew about this matter, and they kept it secret from everyone else, including the master.

Liu Yue hopes that her prince is happy, cheerful and carefree.

The early morning in late winter was extremely cold, and the breath he exhaled instantly condensed into frost, but Liu Yue showed no reaction.

She didn't want her master to disappear so quickly like the fireworks.

The more she thought about it, the more resentful she felt. She couldn't even imagine what the situation would be like without the prince.

The resentment in her heart was like a flood that had no way to vent, suppressing her. Liu Yue drew her sword and danced on the roof to vent her anger.

Her figure was as swift as a ghost, the sword blade was as sharp as a poisonous snake, and at this moment, the unwillingness in her heart was released from her right hand like a volcanic eruption.

The sword was almost invisible, only countless white shadows passing by like dancing butterflies, facing the cold wind, as if cutting off the cold wind and everything in front of her, but she could not bear to hurt a piece of rubble, a piece of flower, grass or tree, for fear of waking up the sleeping prince.

That night, the people in the house slept soundly, while the people on the roof danced with swords all night long as if tirelessly.

The other secret guards didn't understand what was going on with Commander Liu Yue, so they didn't dare to step forward and could only watch from afar.

Before going to bed, Doctor Xu listened to the old servant beside him talking about Deputy Commander Liu dancing with a sword on the roof. He walked out of the house and looked at the roof of the prince's bedroom.

Liu Yue, dressed in red and with black hair, kept waving the sword in his hand, and he knew why.

"Hey!"

He sighed helplessly and returned to his room.

He was powerless against the poison. As his master grew older, his internal organs could no longer bear the weight of the prince's adult body.

For normal people, as they age, their internal organs will also grow with age. However, it is just the opposite for their princes. As they age, the internal organs in their abdomen do not grow.

In his entire life, he had never seen such a vicious poison.

"I am incompetent!"

He sighed deeply and went back into the house.

The wind outside the window was still blowing hard, and the lanterns outside the house were shaking constantly under the eaves.

The night of New Year’s Eve is still very long.

Some people have already fallen into a sweet dream, some have been dancing with swords on the roof all night, some are unable to sleep due to shame, and thousands of miles away, there are also people who cannot sleep because of this.

After the Chinese New Year, it was the beginning of spring, and Nanzhi found that she was too idle.

She was a little bored and wanted to walk around, but was stopped by Doctor Xu and Liu Yue.

The reason is that it is cold, it is not easy to go out, and it is easy to catch a cold.
