The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 180 What Luqi Wants

Nanxiang tightly grasped the envelope in her hand. There were only a few thin pages of paper, but it made her full of expectations.

"What will Luqi ask me for?"

Out of curiosity, Nanxiang walked to the study and took the letter out of the envelope.

I saw only a thin piece of paper with densely packed small characters written on it. The handwriting was neat, dignified and beautiful, obviously written by a woman who had received private school education.

Those who attended private schools in the Northern Dynasties basically had a certain family background or were from official families.

It seems that the fact that Luqi was born into an official family is true.

Nanxiang had the honor of seeing Concubine Xian's handwriting, which was by no means such a dignified and beautiful font. Her handwriting already had some strokes and its own style.

It's a pity that such a talented woman entered the palace as a concubine, and became an extremely unpopular concubine.

After a long time, Nanxiang finally finished reading the letter that Luqi asked Juping to bring.

At this time, Nanxiang's face was full of shock and astonishment.

I didn't expect that Luqi had such a big melon in her hands. If the Queen knew about it, she would go crazy and rush to Chaoyang Palace.

It turns out that the baby in the Queen's belly was framed by Concubine Xian, and Luqi was the one who did it.

Even though Nanxiang had long guessed that the Queen's miscarriage was not an accident, she was still surprised to see this.

Luqi has been following Concubine Xian since she married Gu Junshen, and it can be said that she knows most of Concubine Xian's secrets.

This time, Luqi wrote all the evidence of Concubine Xian's crimes in this letter.

He even wrote down the details of the crime.

"It seems that Concubine Xian is still a little lacking in judgment when employing people. She was coerced and induced into obeying, so how could there not be loopholes?"

I think Luqi hated Concubine Xian to the core.

Or rather, he hated the Huang family, to which Concubine Xian belonged.

There was one thing mentioned in Luqi's letter that clarified what Nanxiang had been worried about.

It turned out that the general who framed Qin Chenyang had some connection with the Huang family, where Concubine Xian was from.

Concubine Xian also knew that Luqi's brother was framed and imprisoned, so she used her brother to make Luqi submit and obey her.

What Luqi wanted was very simple, which was to clear her brother's name.

She was willing to exchange her life and the secret of Concubine Xian for it.

The orange-yellow candlelight in the study made Nanxiang look elegant and gentle, and her cheeks looked even softer. Her hair was disheveled and she wore a sapphire hairpin in it.

"Whatever. Lord Li is already handling this matter anyway. It can be considered as a convenient thing to do."

Nanxiang shook her head slightly. The matter of Luqi was much more complicated than she had imagined. She didn't expect there were so many details involved.

She folded the letter in her hand slightly and placed it on the candlelight on the table to burn...

……

Chaoyang Palace.

Luqi was staring at the candlestick in front of her in a daze. The candle in the center of the candlestick had changed from a long section to a short section.

After she sent the letter, she felt uneasy and her heart was tense.

In fact, she was also gambling, gambling that Nanxiang had the ability to rescue her brother, and gambling that her current master, Concubine Xian, did not know that she had contacted Nanxiang.

During the years she has been with Concubine Xian, she has privately investigated many things about her brother.

Every time she asked her brother what happened to him and whether there was anyone involved, her brother never answered her.

Her brother told her not to get involved in this matter.

But he was her only brother, and if she didn't even try to save him, he would really be executed.

So she secretly used some of the power she had gained over the years by Concubine Xian's side, and finally found out something.

But the more she investigated, she found that things were far more complicated than she had imagined. No wonder her brother didn't let her know.

It turned out that the Huang family of Taiwei was related to her brother's imprisonment, but no matter how hard she investigated, she could not find out why the Huang family did this.

But after she knew that her brother's matter was related to Concubine Xian, she could not help suppressing her panic when facing Concubine Xian, and sometimes she would show unusual nervousness and even tremble.

"Sister Luqi! The Queen is looking for you."

The palace maid outside knocked gently on Luqi's door, causing her heart to hang high in the air, unable to fall down.

There is a feeling of nervousness and panic, as if you have done something wrong and are afraid of being discovered.

"Got it! I'll be right there."

Luqi suppressed her anxiety and panic at the moment, and after tidying up her face and appearance in front of the bronze mirror, she opened the door and walked into the hall.

"I hope the Imperial Concubine will not let me down."

……

Yanxi Palace.

The warm sun outside had completely set, taking away even the last hint of red in the sky, and the candlelight in the yard seemed even brighter.

On the table of Nanxiang's couch stood a pot of brewed peony and chrysanthemum tea, steam rising from it, and the room was filled with a rich tea aroma.

Kikuhei came over slowly carrying a cake.

"My lady, this is the new sponge cake that Chunyue made."

"By the way! Are Chen'er and Xuan'er studying seriously?"

Nanxiang asked casually. After they came back, they kept playing Go and forgot about their homework.

"The prince and princess are already studying in the house."

Juping smiled gently.

"Yes. By the way, is there any progress with Lord Li?"

Nanxiang asked immediately, took the sponge cake on the table and started eating it in small bites.

"Your Majesty! Little Six hasn't brought any news for a long time."

"This matter cannot be rushed."

Nan Xiang nodded slightly after hearing this, which was within his expectations.

After all, this is an old case. How can there be any progress without a few months or half a year?

It was just that Luqi sent her a letter today, which reminded her of this.

"My lady! Xiao Liuzi is very tactful in dealing with people. He won't be discovered so easily."

Kikuhei thought Nanxiang was worried about Xiaoliuzi, so he mentioned it casually.

"I have no doubts about my employing people. Let him go. Maybe he will bring good news soon."

Nanxiang took a sip of the fragrant tea and smiled mysteriously.

"What the empress said is absolutely true."

……

Suddenly, a few days later, Xiao Liuzi sent a message to Juping, along with a letter from Lord Li.

After receiving the letter, Kikuhei rushed back to the palace and handed it to Nanxiang.

At this time, Nanxiang was painting in the study. When she learned that Xiaoliuzi had sent a message, she stood up in surprise. The brush in her hand stayed in the air for a moment, and the ink from the tip of the brush dripped onto the rice paper.

"What did Xiao Liuzi say?"

Nanxiang glanced outside the study and asked anxiously.

Lord Li was much more efficient than she expected.

"Don't worry, Madam. I have just dismissed the people outside the study and asked Xiao Benzi to guard it."

Understanding Nanxiang's concerns, Kikuhei said.

"Xiao Liuzi said that the queen will know after reading the letter."

After saying this, Kikuhei handed the letter hidden in his chest to Nanxiang.

"You did a good job this time. I will reward you with one month's salary."

Nanxiang smiled, glanced at Kikuhei, then opened the letter and started reading.

There was not much exciting content in the letter, just that Lord Li had found a direction to investigate.

After much investigation, Lord Li found out the whereabouts of the woman and her family who were bullied by Qin Chenyang, and Lord Li has sent someone to contact them.

However, the woman and her family moved to a very remote town, and it would take a long time to find them.
