Chapter 204 Nan Xiang's Meeting
Chapter 204 Nan Xiang's Meeting
At this time, outside the palace, the sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves in the courtyard and shone on the surface of the courtyard of Yanxi Palace bit by bit. As the breeze blew, the leaves changed and danced.
Incense was burning in the hall. At first, the air was filled with smoke, but gradually the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance.
After hearing what Kikuhei said, Nanxiang raised her head slightly, glanced at her, and asked softly
"What's the matter?"
Kikuhei first looked around, then leaned close to Nanxiang's ear and whispered, "My lady! Xiao Liuzi brought it here."
"Really?" Song Nanxiang's eyes lit up instantly when she heard the news from Xiao Liuzi. She originally thought that it would take a long time for this matter to make some progress, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
It has only been about half a month since Xiao Liuzi brought back the news.
Then the two of them went to the study and asked Caiyun and Juping to stay outside the house to guard.
"Did Xiao Liuzi bring the letter?"
As soon as Nanxiang sat down on the chair, Kikuhei brought her a cup of tea with a rich jasmine fragrance.
"I brought it. Xiao Liuzi said that the person he contacted said that Lord Li was very worried and he didn't know if he had encountered any problems."
Kikuhei recalled the message that Koroku had dictated and passed it on to Nanxiang.
"Is that so?"
After hearing this, Nanxiang restrained the smile on her face a little. She thought that Xiao Liuzi brought good news, but she didn't expect that it might be bad news.
The matter of Qin Chenyang was indeed not as simple as imagined, otherwise why would Lord Li investigate it for so long and finally get an uncertain result.
Kikuhei handed the letter hidden in his chest to Nanxiang.
Nanxiang took a sip of tea, put down the cup in her hand, and then took the letter.
'I hope it's not as bad as I think!'
Nanxiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
When Kikuhei saw Nanxiang take the letter, he turned and backed away until he could no longer see the contents of the letter in Nanxiang's hand.
Standing respectfully aside, waiting for Nanxiang to call at any time.
Nanxiang opened the envelope with trembling hands, revealing a letter written in regular script.
Nanxiang's heart was pounding like a drum, as if it would jump out of her heart at any time.
He gently put the letter aside and read its contents carefully.
After a long time, Nanxiang finally finished reading the contents on the letter.
The request that Lord Li wanted to convey was also clear.
But she didn't expect that Qin Chenyang's case involved so many people, and things became more complicated. Things were no longer on the same level as she had thought before.
Originally it was just to clear Qin Chenyang's grievances, but now it has become possible that the Huang family has hidden ambitions. If they want to resolve the matter of Qin Chenyang, they must first complete the request of the woman mentioned in Lord Li's letter.
The letter only contained information related to Qin Chenyang's case, and only mentioned the matter of the woman Nan.
At the end of the letter, Lord Li also suggested and pleaded with her to find a way to help this fallen woman.
"Why does Lord Li mention this woman again and again? Is it related to Qin Chenyang's case?"
Nanxiang thought for a moment and quickly came up with the answer. Could this woman be the one Qin Chenyang bullied in the past?
As she thought about this, she felt that things were becoming more and more complicated, and she was eager to meet this woman.
After a moment of silence, Nanxiang placed the letter on the candle flame and started burning.
After a while, a piece of ash appeared on the table.
Although there was a lot of content on the letter this time, she already understood the general content. It was useless to keep the letter, so it would be better to burn it, after all, it would be known by others.
After calming herself down, Nanxiang called Kikuhei.
"Kikuhei! Take the token and go to the palace gate to pick up a woman."
……
The reason why Lord Li did not write anything about Mu Wanxi on the letter paper was mainly to maintain his image in front of outsiders. He never judged a person by his status and position, and would not help Mu Wanxi plead with Nan Xiang for his own selfish desires.
Therefore, he wanted Nanxiang to know the whole story from Mu Wanxi in person, so as to save him from wasting time and ink on the letter paper, which would be time-consuming and laborious for Nanxiang to read.
At this time, outside the Yanxi Palace, Ju Ping was leading a woman in a light blue gauze dress slowly towards them. The woman's face was covered with a veil, and she moved slightly in the breeze, so her entire face could not be exposed.
Along the way, Kikuhei was filled with curiosity. She didn't expect that the woman Nanxiang asked her to pick up was such a beautiful woman with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and she was more beautiful than an immortal. She had a natural and fresh look, especially the charm between her eyebrows and lips, which was elegant and gentle, and she looked kind. Her expression was warm but revealed a hint of indifference.
"I don't know why the Queen did this?"
Kikuhei recalled what Nanxiang had been doing from just now until now, and did not realize her intention.
The summer is hot, the sun is scorching, and the cicadas are chirping noisily.
Mu Wanxi finally arrived at the Yanxi Palace, the imperial concubine's courtyard where Nanxiang was, under the leadership of Juping.
I heard that the Yanxi Hall is the most well-decorated and well-equipped palace in the imperial harem, and it's also larger in size.
Now it looks quite good, and is somewhat different from the other palaces of concubines he has seen along the way.
"Miss! My mistress invites you in."
At this time, Kikuhei had just reported to Nanxiang in a hurry, and then he continued to convey Nanxiang's intention.
"Thank you for your guidance, sister." Mu Wanxi's tone and posture were extremely humble, and outsiders looked very dignified and generous.
Soon, Mu Wanxi was brought to the study where Nan Xiang was.
Nanxiang was reading a book at this moment. There was a cup of steaming fragrant tea on the table. She was meticulous and serious, as if nothing could stop her at this moment.
Mu Wanxi had just finished the formalities when Nan Xiang called her softly. When she looked up, she saw a face that had amazed her countless times, three times more beautiful than before she was disfigured.
The Nanxiang in her eyes has eyebrows like willows, eyes more charming than peach blossoms, very captivating, and skin as white as snow.
"I heard from Lord Li that you have something to discuss with me. But what is it?" Nan Xiang put down the book in her hand, raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Wanxi who was standing respectfully in front of her, with surprise also flashing in her eyes.
Even though she was wearing a veil, Nanxiang was still slightly moved by the woman in front of her, and she couldn't help but think that the woman's eyes were very beautiful.
"The ugly woman Mu Wanxi asks the imperial concubine to have mercy on her!"
Suddenly, Mu Wanxi spoke in a sad and tactful tone, and the word "ugly woman" made Nanxiang even more curious about her.
"You are so pretty, why do you call yourself an ugly woman?"
"Ugly woman?"
Nanxiang asked doubtfully.
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanxi suppressed the pain in her heart and took off the veil from her face.
Soon, a face with three obvious scars appeared in front of Nanxiang, and she was so scared that she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"How could this be?"
