Chapter 162 Death Row Prisoner
Chapter 162 Death Row Prisoner
Gu Junshen, who was sitting at the main table, saw that the two little ones were educated so well, and his eyes looked at Nanxiang with more tenderness, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Nanxiang poured herself a glass of fruit wine and drank it leisurely at the banquet table, taking a few sips and looking in the direction of the two little ones from time to time.
Speaking of which, she and the Queen Mother are now in dire straits.
At the last Queen Mother’s birthday banquet, she directly prepared a “Deep Heart Letter”.
This post was written by Nan Xiang, the original owner of the post, who is now a notorious traitor in the world.
Later, after learning more about it, Nanxiang discovered that it was exactly the same as the "Shen Xin Tie" written by Qin Hui, a famous traitor in history.
Qin Hui will be infamous for framing the loyal and righteous Yue Fei.
Although his calligraphy works such as are considered to have high artistic value, due to his own evil deeds, these works are often regarded by later generations as symbols of his sins.
Nanxiang's action was to declare the Queen Mother's crimes to everyone.
At that time, the situation was extremely embarrassing, but Nanxiang acted as if it didn't matter and even claimed that it was unintentional.
Although her action was not unintentional, what the Queen Mother did was intentional.
She almost got into trouble during that childbirth.
This hurdle has become difficult to overcome in Nanxiang's heart.
To her surprise, Gu Junshen did not get angry or show any dissatisfaction at the time.
It was as if he was allowing her to behave so rudely.
It made her feel a little warm at the time, and she even rewarded Gu Junshen for a period of time afterwards.
Seeing the queen mother's happy expression, she immediately raised her voice and said to the two children:
"Chen'er! Xuan'er! Don't disturb the Imperial Grandmother while she's having her meal. Mother has prepared your favorite cheese."
After hearing this, the two children rushed towards Nanxiang without waiting for the empress dowager to speak.
When everyone saw this, they did not have any extra emotions and felt that there was nothing wrong with Nanxiang's behavior.
Now is Gu Jintang's wedding banquet, the focus should be on congratulating the two on their marriage, not the prince and princess.
When the Queen Mother saw that Nan Xiang didn't give her any face at all, her face immediately darkened and she stared at Nan Xiang.
She couldn't help but start to blame the Queen Chen in her heart, because after all these years, she hadn't been able to give birth to a grandson who would please her.
I also have to find some joy as a grandmother in Nanxiang's two children.
Queen Chen also noticed the empress dowager's somewhat resentful expression, and immediately felt a little sad.
Is this the child she doesn't want?
It was she who couldn't get pregnant, it was she who couldn't keep the baby...
When she looked at the two little ones laughing beside Nanxiang, some envy rose in her eyes.
If that had been successful, the two children would have been hers.
But there is no if in the world, and she was punished after her failure.
……
When Wang behind Nanxiang saw this, her eyes lit up instantly, and she felt that the opportunity to show off had come.
Then he pulled Princess Yong'an up and said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother! Yong'an said she missed her grandmother for many days."
After saying that, she kept urging Yongan to make some response.
Princess Yong'an was being stared at by so many people that she immediately felt timid and began to stammer when she spoke.
"Yongan... meet grandma!"
However, the Queen Mother ignored the two of them and did not give them any response. Instead, she whispered and expressed her blessings to Gu Jintang and Princess Chen.
"Tang'er! Ya'er! You two grew up under the watch of your mother. Now that you are happily married, your mother is very pleased!"
As he spoke he raised his glass and chuckled twice.
Wang suddenly felt her face burning and reached out to pinch Yongan.
"It's all your fault. You're not trying hard enough!"
Yongan was pinched so hard that he felt pain and begged for mercy immediately.
"Mother, it hurts!"
……
After King Huai'an's wedding, Nanxiang was free for a while.
In spring, the palace is covered with flowers and the scenery is very beautiful.
The occasional spring rain added a bit of coolness to the increasingly warm palace.
Nanxiang has taken care of the vegetation in the courtyard of the Yanxi Palace in an orderly manner. When the sun shines, you can always see beams of light projected down.
After the two children became acquainted with the young tutor, they went to the study room on time every day to attend classes.
Nanxiang also has more time to do her own things.
On the tenth day of April, a letter was delivered to Yanxi Palace where Nanxiang was.
The person who delivered the letter was the eunuch Xiao Liuzi, whom Nanxiang had arranged a few months ago.
When Kikuhei took the envelope to the study in the palace, Nanxiang was painting.
"My lady! Xiao Liuzi has sent me a letter."
Kikuhei said softly, and Nanxiang immediately put down the pen in her hand and looked at her with surprise.
When he raised his eyes, there was a glimmer of joy in them.
"Show me quickly."
After receiving the letter, Nanxiang hurriedly opened the envelope and began to read it.
After a long time, the joy and excitement on Nanxiang's face had faded away.
"This matter is a bit tricky."
Nanxiang sighed softly, thinking about how to proceed next.
There was not much content in the letter, only a death row prisoner.
He was imprisoned six years ago and given an eight-year reprieve, with two years left.
This person is Luqi's brother, Qin Chenyang.
Luqi was the most important maidservant around Concubine Huang. Because she knew a lot of Concubine Huang's secrets, she did a lot of things for her.
If Luqi were to rebel, Concubine Huang would be removed from office in an instant.
But the process is a bit difficult, because Concubine Xian holds the most important lifeline of Luqi, her brother Qin Chenyang who is in prison.
A prisoner on death row who is about to be executed.
Speaking of it, Concubine Huang was quite capable. She extended Qin Chenyang's original three-year slow sentence to eight years, and even trained Luqi to become a capable general by her side.
It is for this reason that Luqi has been loyal to Concubine Xian for many years.
After Nanxiang learned from Xu Ziang about Luqi, who was beside Concubine Huang, she decided to launch a series of investigations.
However, since this matter involves Concubine Xian, it cannot be made public, so it can only be done in secret.
Searching for news bit by bit.
Nanxiang also began to gradually learn all kinds of information about Luqi, the personal maidservant beside Concubine Xian.
By the way, Luqi and her brother are quite pitiful.
Qin Chenyang was originally a general in the military. Because he bullied women and brought disgrace to the reputation of the military, he was arrested and sent to prison.
However, according to the information Nanxiang has investigated, Qin Chenyang is a loyal and honest person, and has been working diligently with his sister Luqi for many years.
The main reason was that he was too honest and simple-minded, and was unwilling to go along with certain people in the military, so he was maliciously targeted and framed...
This sudden crisis plunged the two siblings into despair.
After Qin Chenyang was imprisoned, Luqi suddenly had countless unfounded debts. It was not until she met the virtuous Concubine Huang and was brought into the palace that she saw some hope and turnaround.
The virtuous concubine promised her that she would help her brother save his life, and Luqi also paid a reward for doing her job.
Of course, if Luqi completely lost its value, it would be gone in no time.
Because she knew too much, she was a threat to Concubine Xian.
So what Nanxiang has to do now is to incite Concubine Xian to rebel and push Concubine Xian out of power before she gives up on her.
