One touch and one silence

Chapter 3 A Cheap Lunch

Wiping Nancy's face and hands gently.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will stay here for a few days and then go back. Your Highness won't have to worry about it."

Nancy listened to Shuhua's meaningful words and understood that they thought she was still upset because her mother doted on the eighth prince.

This comforted her.

She has a new core, but she is not the original owner.

Besides, I can’t leave. I’m afraid I’ll die inside this palace wall.

As for demanding maternal love, it is simply a joke. Having lived for 27 years in the previous life, how could I not know that the more you force something, the less you will get it; and the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment.

There is no way she would ask for some illusory fatherly or motherly love.

Anyway, I will die in half a month, so I might as well just leave it at that! What if I go back?

After Nancy finished washing up, she let the two of them go downstairs.

She then looked at the decoration in the room. To be honest, it was quite shabby.

If you say this is a prince's residence, probably no one would believe it.

Looking at the shelf, it was empty. Apart from being spotless, there was nothing like the residence of a prince.

She naturally knew why.

Yesterday, when she read the life story of the maidservant in calligraphy and painting, she realized that her original self was really a poor little thing.

Not only did the emperor father not love her, but the mother also took away everything she had and gave it to her younger brother.

Every month, the salary was deducted so that only enough was left to make ends meet.

Many people knew about this, but no one came to say a word.

A prince can only afford enough to eat and live comfortably in the palace. If he tells others about it, he will probably be laughed at.

its not right!

Prince?

Nancy suddenly thought, why didn't the imperial physician have any doubts about her identity yesterday?

After saying that, she lowered her head, lifted the quilt, and unzipped her pants. She was a woman dressed as a man, is that okay?

That?

Is that guy a gangster?

You don’t even know if she is a boy or a girl?

Logically, this phenomenon is impossible? Could it be that the mother of this body bribed the imperial physician?

Nancy touched her chest again, and it seemed that there was no movement.

Logically, a ten-year-old girl shouldn't be completely without any symptoms!

The two maids beside her, one was thirteen and the other fourteen, were both very well-proportioned, so it was impossible for her to have no reaction at all.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Your Highness, your medicine is ready!"

Nancy frowned and looked at Shuhua who pushed the door open. "Didn't you just drink? Why do you want to drink again?"

"Your Highness, this is the medicine you have been drinking since you were a child. Have you forgotten?"

Only then did Nancy find this memory from her memories.

Only then did I understand why I didn't show any signs of being a female. It turned out it was all because of this medicine.

She has been drinking this since she was born. They just said it was a tonic and nothing else.

Now she finally understands.

Nancy looked at the pitch-black medicine in the bowl. She could smell a bitter taste without even drinking it.

Nancy thought that she would die in half a month, so what was there to drink?

He said in a cold voice: "Take it away! You don't have to drink this medicine anymore!"

Nancy looked at the maid in front of her who didn't move, and her eyes became sharper.

The painting was a little scared when the master looked at it. When did the master look so scary? Obviously, the master bought this medicine for...

Shuhua tried to persuade him earnestly, "Your Highness, you can't stop taking this medicine. If you stop, and you're discovered, you'll be guilty of deceiving the emperor and beheaded!"

Nancy listened to Shuhua's words and suddenly laughed.

"Big crime? How big can it be? The crime of deceiving the emperor. This prince would like to see it."

Shuhua felt that his master seemed to be crazy.

The crime of deceiving the emperor was spoken casually, and he even looked longing for it.

Shuhua was so scared that he knelt down with the medicine bowl in his hand.

She thought that her master became disheartened and changed her character because the concubine never came to see her when she was sick. Now it seems that she has some...

Shuhua's eyes were red and tears of heartache fell down.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Although you are a concubine..., you still have the emperor, the prince, and the queen."

"You fell into the water the day before yesterday, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved you regardless of his own safety!"

"Even if you don't think about others, you should think about yourself. Live well and everything will be fine in the future."

Nancy looked at the sobbing maid and was at a loss as to what to do. She was most afraid of girls crying and could not stand it when they did.

Nancy helplessly picked up the white jade porcelain bowl on the calligraphy and painting tray with one hand, turned her back, pinched her nose, and drank the dark brown liquid inside.

She put the bowl back and turned her back. Nancy's face was distorted by the bitterness of the medicine.

Damn, I've never taken such bitter medicine in my life.

The medicine tasted bitter, so she said impatiently, "That's enough!"

"Stop crying. Your crying gives me a headache."

Shuhua then smiled with tearful eyes and stood up.

"Thank you for your mercy, Master."

After saying that, he took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to Nancy.

Nancy didn't answer, but raised her eyebrows and looked at Shuhua.

"Preserved Fruit"

"It can relieve the bitter taste of medicine in your mouth." Shuhua explained.

There was indeed a bitter taste in Nancy's mouth. Under Shuhua's expectant gaze, he coaxed her like a child. Nancy stretched out her thin, white jade-like little hand, opened the pink purse, and took out a yellow candied fruit from it.

A sweet and sour smell filled Nancy's nostrils.

Nancy slowly put it in her mouth. The first feeling was that it was very sweet, slightly sour, but not greasy.

There is also a scent of osmanthus, which is very delicious.

His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Only then did Shuhua feel relieved and filled with joy.

Nancy waved her hand and let Shuhua go out.

After everyone left, Nancy began to think about why she came to this place.

This is not the ancient times, it should be an empty dynasty.

Da Ling Dynasty, she had never heard of this dynasty in history.

So what's the meaning of her wearing it?

Is it to delay this body and die again in half a month?

Or was it that God felt sorry for her and gave her another chance to live because she had used her talents in her previous life to help countless victims and find the murderer?

I think too much and my head hurts.

Nancy simply lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

We're all going to die anyway, so why bother?

Until the maids knocked on the door again and asked Nancy to go for dinner.

Nancy then stood up and looked at the two dishes and a soup on the table.

Vinegar-fried cabbage and steamed tofu! These two dishes, placed on a white jade plate, look good, but they are totally unappetizing.

Nancy was a little confused when she saw these two dishes.

No, he is a prince, and a prince who is sick and has not yet recovered.

Just eat this thing?

Shuhua saw the look of disgust on Nancy's face and felt extremely guilty.

She mustered up the courage to explain, "Your Highness, your monthly salary was taken away in advance by someone in the Concubine's Palace. I didn't get it when I went there."

My goodness, is this still my biological mother?

It seemed like he wanted her to die quickly, which made Nanzhi a little angry.

Nancy laughed angrily. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Let's go! I have no appetite!"

Shuhua and Shuyue looked at each other and immediately knelt down.
