One touch and one silence

Everyone is waiting for the day of the coming-of-age ceremony in the mansion, but man proposes, God disposes.

One day, Nanzhi woke up and felt particularly energetic, so energetic that she could even go out of the house for a walk.

Liu Yue, who had been hiding in the dark, was filled with joy. She felt that her master was in much better spirits.

But Sanniang beside her looked sad, and even anxiously asked someone to invite the prince over.

When everyone thought that the young master was in good health and was very happy, Nan Yu came over with the doctor.

"Xiao Qi looks good today!"

Nanzhi turned around and looked at Nanyu with a smile.

"Uncle Wang is here. I feel really good today."

Her body was no longer stiff, and she even stopped coughing. She hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.

There was a look of relief and satisfaction on Nanzhi's face.

Nan Yu signaled the doctor to go up and take a look. After the doctor took Nan Yu's pulse, his face suddenly showed shock and he shook his head at Nan Yu in a place where no one was around.

Liu Yue saw that action.

She couldn't bear it any longer, and regardless of Nan Yu's previous words, she showed up and stood behind Nan Zhi.

Nanzhi, who was talking to Nanyu, suddenly felt a familiar cold fragrance. She turned around in confusion and saw Liuyue standing behind her.

The look of surprise in Nanzhi's eyes made people feel sad.

"Liu Yue!"

"Liu Yue! I'm so glad that you're okay. What about them? Are they okay?" Nanzhi ran up, stretched out his hand, pulled Liu Yue up and down, and looked her up and down.

Liu Yue saw that her master was still worried about them, so she suppressed the grief in her heart and tried to smile more naturally.

"Of course they are all here!"

"Come out!"

Following Liu Yue's order, Sanqi and others who were in the dark appeared in front of Nanzhi.

Nanzhi looked at them and felt heartbroken when seeing their thin faces, but being able to be alive in that situation was a blessing.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Sorry for making you worried!"

Erwu and the others knelt down in front of Nanzhi. Nanzhi reached out to help him up, but Liuyue coldly told him, "Stand up on your own. The master is inconvenient!"

Nanzhi felt relieved when she saw that they were all fine.

"I'm relieved that you're all fine!"

"Thank you for your company over the years, and thank you for your hard work!"

"Now, you are free. You can live your life well, get married, and have a baby." Nanzhi said with a smile.

She looked at the young men in front of her with satisfaction. If she had to say who she owed the most, it was these people, as well as Nan Yu now.

When Nan Yu saw this scene, he knew that what he had done was right.

Looking at the smile on the little girl's face, he realized that he had never seen her smile so sincerely since he met her at the border.

The weather today was also exceptionally good. Nan Yu took Nan Zhi for a walk in the yard and told her about the preparations for her birthday and the venue that had been prepared long ago.

Nanzhi was supported by Liuyue. After seeing her leave, she thought about what they did for her and the scene where Liuyue jumped off the cliff to die. Nanzhi was filled with grief. This was not the result she wanted to see.

She didn't expect these people to be so sentimental.

As Nan Yu introduced the flowers to her attentively along the way and took her to see the clusters of blooming exceptionally gorgeous flowers, Nanzhi's attention was diverted a lot by Nan Yu. She smiled slightly at the flowers he introduced and reached out to touch them.

Nanzhi was very happy. She didn't expect to see such beautiful peonies and peonies in winter.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Wang! Xiaoqi likes it very much!" Nanzhi murmured in her heart, thank you for letting me experience what fatherly love is, and thank you for filling the fatherly love that was missing in my two lives.

A group of people followed Nanzhi and accompanied her as she walked around. Nanyu prepared these surprises for her, but Sanniang hid in a deserted place, secretly wiping away her tears.

She had seen patients like this before, and according to the older generation, this was a last-ditch effort.

It was the hottest time of the day at noon. Nanzhi was tired from walking and she casually lay down on a chair. She wanted to rest for a while, but she was afraid that she would not wake up and she still had things to do.

So after sitting down to rest for a while, she did not dare to continue resting. She had to leave something for Liu Yue and Uncle Wang, in case the emperor knew that she died in Uncle Wang's villa and knew that Liu Yue and the others had disrupted the capital. What if he resented them for concealing his whereabouts and punished them?

She always had to leave a letter to explain everything clearly, hoping that her adoptive father would not be dissatisfied with Prince Cheng, Liu Yue, Yu Qinglin and others for her sake.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Nanzhi felt a little hungry, as if she suddenly had an appetite.

"Let's have a reunion dinner today!" Otherwise, there may be no chance in the future! Nanzhi muttered the second half of the sentence silently in her heart.

Following Nanzhi's suggestion, maids immediately went downstairs to deal with it. After a while, many maids came over to serve dishes. It didn't take long before the table was full of banquet dishes, as if they were always ready. This lunch was the one they all had together.

Everyone was eating the obviously delicious food in front of them without any taste, and they had no idea what it tasted like.

The whole dining scene was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the chewing sounds could hardly be heard.

Nanzhi casually took two bites of the food and she couldn't eat anymore. The moment she put down her chopsticks, everyone else present also put down their chopsticks at the same time.

"Keep eating! I'm a little tired!"

She wanted to rest for a while, and Liu Yue acted the fastest and quickly helped Nanzhi up.

Nanzhi felt that feeling of heaviness and stiffness slowly coming back again.

She took advantage of this time to ask Liu Yue to carry her back to the study. Liu Yue silently carried her to the study. The others stood at the door and did not go in.

Liu Yue lowered his head silently, grinding the ink.

Nanzhi looked at Liuyue with a smile and praised, "Liuyue, you still understand me!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up the brush from the pen holder. Her hand trembled slightly, but she didn't care at all. She held the brush tightly with all her strength and began to explain how she arrived at the border, how she used her identity as a prince, asked these people not to reveal her news, and how she could not stand the cold weather and had no choice but to ask to live in the villa of Prince Cheng's mansion. She also didn't want to be buried in a dark place and stink, and hoped to be burned. The ashes could be scattered anywhere, but she didn't want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

She took everything upon herself.

Liu Yue's tears dripped onto her hands, slid down the back of her hands into the ink, and mixed with the ink.

As Nanzhi was writing, a drop of blood fell on the letter paper. Nanzhi quickly covered her nose, threw away the pen, and picked up the paper, fearing that she would get it dirty. She could no longer write and did not have the energy to write another letter.

That one drop seemed to be just the beginning. The blood from her nose dripped quickly onto the table, staining a large area. Her body instantly collapsed powerlessly.

Liu Yue hurriedly took out a handkerchief and covered her master's face with it, suppressing her grief. Her trembling hands betrayed her heart, and with her other hand she caught the white-haired girl who fell softly.

The moment she saw her master fall, her face changed drastically.

Liu Yue panicked and shouted to the outside of the door, "Doctor!"

The people who were originally guarding outside also rushed in at this time.

Nanzhi was already lying powerlessly in Liuyue's arms. Her face, which had originally been somewhat flushed, was now completely pale and bloodless. Nanzhi seemed as if all her energy had been drained away.

She felt an extremely painful stuffiness in her chest that made it hard for her to breathe. As soon as she opened her mouth, a fishy and salty liquid overflowed from her mouth, flowing down her pale and small chin, staining the collar of her clothes and Liu Yue's tears.

The air was instantly filled with the smell of blood, and the breath of death enveloped her.

Nanzhi had nothing else to ask for. After she learned from the Queen Mother that this was poison, she knew that this day would come sooner or later, so there was nothing to regret. However, she suddenly seemed a little reluctant.

Apart from the physical pain, she lived a happy life during this period. She had friends and experienced what it felt like to have a fatherly love. She reached out and touched Liu Yue's tightly furrowed brows.

"Don't frown, it doesn't look good!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, more blood flowed out of her mouth, and Liu Yue couldn't stop it no matter what she did.

Nanzhi's eyes were filled with reluctance, and she bent them slightly with a hint of smile, like the warm sun in spring, wanting to warm Liuyue and Nanyu's hearts, and wanting to express her gratitude, but unfortunately only blood kept flowing out.

"Master...Master, stop talking!"

"Liu Yue, please stop talking!" Liu Yue's eyes were filled with grief, and she couldn't stop the tears at this moment. When she saw her master fall, she couldn't calm down anymore, and she panicked. She had prepared herself mentally a long time ago, but she didn't expect it to end so quickly.

If she had known earlier, she would have accompanied her master first and then taken revenge.

Liu Yuehui was so upset that his intestines turned green, but it was still of no use.

"What are you standing there for? Save him!" Liu Yue yelled at the doctor who was standing there stupidly.

Nan Yu was awakened by Liu Yue's voice, and finally came to his senses from his grief. He shouted angrily, "What are you standing there for? Save people!"

The doctor shook his head at this moment and said, "I'm sorry! I can't do anything!"

"Your Excellency has already..."

"Shut up, shut up!"

Liu Yue wanted to kill the doctor in front of her at this moment. She gently placed Nanzhi in Nan Yu's arms, and quickly reached out to grab the doctor's neck. Her eyes were very fierce, like a lion on the edge of anger.

Her tone was sinister and full of threats, "Are you going to save me or not? Believe it or not, I will kill you!" Liu Yue was like a wild beast out of control.

Nanzhi endured the pain, gently pulled Liuyue's sleeve, and panted, "Liuyue, don't be angry, I know my body, let him go!"

Liu Yue looked at her master on the ground, and finally let go of her hand. Looking at Liu Yue who was looking down at her in pain, Nanzhi tried hard to force a smile.

When Liu Yue saw this scene, the heartache and grief in her eyes were constantly intertwined and gnawing at her heart.

Liu Yue bent down, held Nanzhi carefully in her arms, and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Nanzhi held Liuyue's hand, his eyes full of pleading.

"Liu Yue, listen to me!"

Nanzhi's body was twitching, and the bright red blood almost dyed the chest of Liuyue's clothes blood red. It was the first time that Liuyue felt that red was so glaring.

She had never felt the color red so stinging to her eyes and her heart.

"After I am gone, you must live well and see every corner of the Da Ling Dynasty for me. I have been trapped in one place all my life without freedom. I hope you can be your own. Don't take your life lightly anymore. Live well for me."

Her tone was calm and firm, as if she was saying goodbye to the world.

Nanzhi's eyes revealed a deep desire, as if she hoped to see every corner of the Daling Dynasty through their eyes.

There was a hint of regret in her voice, which made people feel distressed.

Liu Yue knew that her master must have calculated what would happen to them later. She clenched her teeth, fearing that she would cry, and nodded vigorously, agreeing to her master's request.

Nanzhi was finally relieved upon seeing this, and with a pale smile on her face, she continued speaking in a somewhat intermittent tone.

"Can you please not bury me underground...I'm...scared!"

"I'm afraid of those bugs... biting my body!"

"You guys...just burn me." Her eyes were extremely serious.

Nanzhi finished speaking with difficulty and glanced at the people in front of her. They were all familiar faces. She saw tears in their eyes, and when she saw Nanyu she smiled gently.

He pointed to the unfinished letter.

"Give...that to the emperor!" She didn't call him father, she was not a fool.

But she never regretted helping the Da Ling Dynasty consolidate its position and helping him consolidate his throne.

Just consider it as evening each other. At least this year was the happiest time of her two lives combined.

"If the emperor asks you for punishment in the future, you must remember that I forced you to do it, understand?"

Nan Yu had been suppressing the sadness in his heart, but it was instantly brought out by the little girl's words.

A grown man almost couldn't hold back and burst into tears on the spot.

Even at this point, the poor little guy is still thinking about them.

Nan Yu could no longer hold back the grief in her heart. Her eyes were wet with tears and she choked, "I'm not afraid of him. You're just a little kid. Why do you always think so much? Why can't you..." Why couldn't she worry less? They were all adults. How could she, a child, worry about them for them?

Nanzhi's mind became more and more confused. She forced herself to half-open her eyes, as if reluctant to leave, and looked at the people present.

"do not be sad!"

"I knew this day would come!"

“It is my blessing to know you!”

"by........."

Nanzhi suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood, and could no longer say what he wanted to say.

Her mouth struggled to move several times, but nothing came out. Only blood continued to flow out, her body kept twitching, and her thin and pale face seemed a little distorted because of the pain.

This is a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than the last time I died.

Nanzhi's pure eyes seemed to be comforting the people in front of her. Her body twitched intermittently and she was breathing heavily. Her pale fingers, covered only with a layer of skin, were tightly grasping Liuyue's clothes, and the joints of her bony fingers could be clearly seen.

Liu Yue could feel that her master was enduring great pain, as if someone was cutting her heart with a blunt knife. Liu Yue would rather be the one suffering than see her master suffer this torture.

She even had the thought of freeing her master herself, but she couldn't bear to do it!

I can't bear to...
