One touch and one silence

The prince repeatedly warned Nan Shu not to reveal her true identity and that he would investigate the Jiao family's affairs.

At this time, the two of them thought that the imperial concubine and the third branch of the Jiao family were afraid that Nanzhi would form a group with the prince, so they took action directly.

This is the reasoning, and the prince and Nan Shu both believed it without a doubt.

Nan Shu returned to the princess's mansion and went back to her own bedroom without looking for her husband.

Jiuer gave the things she bought to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu looked at the medicine bag in silence.

"Princess...you..."

"Let it go!"

"I'll watch it later!"

As Nan Shu was speaking, she found the drawings that Xiao Qi had drawn for her, which she placed in a box as if they were treasures. Looking at the top one, which was a portrait of her and her husband, Nan Shu couldn't tell how she felt.

She could imagine these things, the way Xiao Qi was lying on the table while drawing, and the smile on his face while he was drawing her.

When she looked at the person next to her, her eyes gradually became cold.

The sound of cicadas outside the house is still annoying and makes people feel particularly annoyed.

In the Qingyue Palace, Cheng Yueqing heard the reply from the Second Prince, and she sat up immediately in shock.

"Are you serious? Was it really the Queen who ordered the assassination of the Seventh Prince?"

"Do you know why?"

The eunuch kneeling in the room shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"Although I don't know, I heard that before the Seventh Prince left Beijing, he seemed to have met with the Seventh Prince in the East Palace, and the two of them talked about something in private."

"It is said that the Seventh Prince looked very unhappy at the time, but the Queen seemed very satisfied."

When Cheng Yue heard this, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Did the eldest son of the Jiao family's third branch really tell the imperial concubine?"

The eunuch underground nodded.

Cheng Yueqing suddenly laughed.

"Alright, tell your prince about this. I know about it!"

My dear son, I will soon be able to find you a powerful princess consort!

She had already chosen this candidate a long time ago. Which prince's wife could be as powerful as the one from the Yu family, commanding an army of 400,000, more than half of the country's military forces?

She can also cut off the power behind the Queen. God is really helping Cheng Yueqing!

Just imagining it made her feel extremely happy!

"Come here, ask His Majesty to come to me, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with you."

After hearing the order, Meixiang turned around and left the hall.

An hour later, the emperor's dragon sedan arrived.

When passing by the door, a young eunuch put down the broom in his hand, turned around and left Qingyue Palace.

The man went directly to the prince's residence and entered a room.

In the dim room, the two were plotting.

"Things are already going as we expected, what will happen next?"

In the dim room, there was another young eunuch dressed in eunuch's clothes. His face was still that baby face, but it made people feel a little scared for no reason.

"No need, proceed as planned."

Don’t you all want to kill the master?

Then they send these people to hell!

"Okay, then I'll leave first!"

"You should also be careful. Only after we have done all this can we face the master!"

"Ok!"

With the sound of a door closing, the room fell into silence again.

This person was the eunuch who had gone to the imperial concubine to respond before.

At this time in the Qingyue Palace, the imperial concubine was serving the emperor with tenderness and care. Seeing the emperor's face full of enjoyment, Cheng Yueqing chuckled.

"Your Majesty, I heard a rumor today, I don't know if it's true or false!"

Cheng Yueqing said this while looking at the emperor's face.

Sure enough, the emperor showed some interest.

"Oh! Tell me about it?"

"What a coincidence, isn't my daughter-in-law from the Jiao family's third branch?"

"His brother came to the palace a few days ago and said some intimate words to his daughter-in-law. It happened that the emperor sent someone to deliver some gifts to his daughter-in-law, and unfortunately, he heard something about Prince Anle."

The emperor paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, and there was just the right amount of anger on his face.

"What did you say?"

"The young eunuch heard his daughter-in-law's brother say that his sister asked someone from the third house to assassinate the seventh prince!"

"She said that because the prince returned to the capital, she was afraid that he would find out something. She also said that my sister wanted to kill him now, and the people from the third house wanted to join me!"

"But everything I have was given by your majesty. I dare not make friends with the ministers in private! Let such a traitor be around."

"This matter is just a rumor. I have no one under my command and have not verified it. I thought that Your Majesty has not been able to eat or sleep well in the past year because of the prince's matter. I feel sorry for you, so I invited you to come directly."

"I don't know if my sister is really confused or just making up stories!"

Nan Yu broke his chopsticks in anger, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"I know about this!"

"My beloved concubine, please send the person to the Imperial Study. I will naturally handle the rest."

Cheng Yueqing immediately understood what the emperor meant.

"The concubine obeys!"

With anger on his face, Nan Yu turned around and walked out of Qingyue Palace angrily.

It was not until he returned to the imperial study that his expression eased.

He knew that the imperial concubine's call on him today was not for good reasons.

Thinking of what she said, his face turned gloomy.

What on earth was the reason why he was so afraid of Xiao Qi coming back to Kyoto? Was he afraid that the child would figure out something?

Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned.

"Somebody come!"

"Send someone to check whether the Queen has met the third wife of the Zhuo family before and after the eldest princess's marriage. Besides this, who else has she met? Who of the people around her has left the capital, and what they have done. Find out everything for me."

Queen!

That was the queen he carefully selected!

Are you now resorting to those shady means in order to gain power and that position?

"Your Majesty! The concubine's men are here!"

"Bring it in!"

The emperor gave the order coldly.

He looked towards the door, and Manager Xu brought someone in.

"What's your name?"

The emperor's majestic voice frightened the little eunuch so much that he trembled all over and lay on the ground, not daring to look up.

"My name is Xiao Chengzi. I am the eunuch beside the Second Prince. I usually serve him. Seeing that I am honest, the Second Prince changed my name to Xiao Chengzi."

The emperor looked at his eunuch lying on the ground with an obscure look in his eyes.

"I heard that you heard about your prince's wife and his brother conspiring?"

"But seriously?"

The emperor stood up, walked down from the dragon throne and looked at the man in front of him.

"Your Majesty is asking you a question! Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Manager Xu immediately scolded the young eunuch who was lying on the ground.

The people on the ground were even more frightened.

"In reply...in reply to your Majesty, I was delivering some pieces of Liuguang brocade that you had given to the Second Prince. When I arrived, there was no one at the door."

"The slave didn't mean it!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed and begged for mercy, fearing that the people above him would chop him to pieces if they were unhappy.

"Then tell me, what did you hear?"
