The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

The imperial capital of the Northern Dynasties, Pingcheng.

A series of heavy and rapid sounds of soldiers running resounded on the bluestone streets of Pingcheng, causing the people on the street to look panicked. The old, young, women and children looked around in a panic, looking for a safe place to hide.

"Military business! Urgent passage, outsiders please get out of the way!"

The majestic commands, accompanied by the soldiers' firm and powerful steps, echoed in the streets again and again.

The leading soldiers, dressed in shiny armor and with determined eyes, shouted loudly as they ran, their voices revealing unquestionable authority.

He waved the command flag in his hand and looked around vigilantly to ensure that the people could retreat to both sides of the street in a timely and orderly manner to make way for the marching team.

The streets were crowded with people, and vendors hurriedly packed up their stalls, not even bothering to pick up the scattered goods. Some people hurriedly fled holding their children's hands, while others squatted down and picked up things on the ground, their eyes full of anxiety.

After a long time, a group of soldiers came to the mansion which had been surrounded by soldiers arranged by the emperor.

The leading General Wang, clad in silver armor, leaped majestically from his tall horse, the sound of horse hooves echoing in the empty streets.

He stared at the four large gold-plated characters "Yushi Huang Mansion" hanging on the main gate of the mansion in front of him.

At this time, General Wang slowly raised his right hand, waved it gently, and pointed at the Huang family.

"Copy the house!"

At a command, the soldiers behind him moved quickly, rushing towards the Huang family mansion in rows and columns like a tide.

At this time, a eunuch holding an imperial edict walked out from the side. He had a solemn expression and walked steadily.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

The Huang family disciples have been corrupt, perverted the law, oppressed the people, violated the laws of the Northern Dynasty, and privately trained private soldiers. The evidence is conclusive. From now on, all members of the Huang family will be detained pending trial, and the nine clans will be executed soon! All family property will be confiscated and stored, without any mistakes. I hope all officials will take this as a warning and strictly abide by the rules of integrity. This is my order! "

He slowly unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud in his unique shrill voice.

The people around were already frightened by this sudden change and turned pale, and fell to their knees.

Hearing the punishment that the Huang family was about to receive, Mu Wanxi, who was wearing a white veil not far away, finally smiled with relief.

"Father and mother! Your daughter has finally avenged you!"

After a while, all the Huang family members, young and old, were escorted out by the soldiers.

Everyone's face looked ashen, and the people who used to be so afraid of them now began to point fingers at them.

This time the Huang family committed a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family, not a punishment like exile which still offers a glimmer of hope.

……

At this time, in front of the Tianlao gate, Liu Sheng was leading Qin Chenyang to visit Luqi.

The emperor showed mercy and spared Luqi's life, and allowed Qin Chenyang to visit her every once in a while, of course with conditions.

Now that Qin Chenyang has been reinstated, it is natural for him to continue serving the Northern Dynasty.

Therefore, Gu Junshen asked him to continue leading the soldiers to guard the territory, in order to repay the wrongs done by his sister Luqi.

"General Qin, please!"

Liu Sheng brought Qin Chenyang to the Tianlao where Luqi was imprisoned. He ordered the jailer to open the door and waved to him.

Luqi will be transferred to the dungeon soon, and there is no time to waste.

The Tianlao is full of death row prisoners, so naturally they cannot stay there any longer.

Qin Chenyang thanked him softly and quickly walked to the front of the prison. He looked at the extremely familiar face with blood-red whip marks all over his body and a pale complexion.

A scarlet glow appeared in his eyes, and he felt guilty and remorseful.

"Qi'er!" He called out to the person in front of him with a very choked voice.

When Luqi heard the familiar voice, she thought she was so weak that she was hallucinating and ignored it.

"Qier!"

But when the second voice sounded, Luqi almost confirmed it. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the brother who had worried her for many years.

"Brother! Are you out?"

Luqi was a little surprised, called out very weakly, and then cried out in grievance.

"I have asked for the Emperor's grace to pardon your death sentence. But the death sentence can be pardoned, but the living sentence cannot. You still have to stay in jail. It's all my fault for being useless! I have implicated you."

Qin Chenyang said this with great self-blame, gently touching the loose hair on Luqi's head.

After hearing this, Luqi shook her head slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Don't blame me, brother. I deserve it."

……

In the Yanxi Palace, Nanxiang, standing in the courtyard, was looking at the dark clouds gradually gathering in the sky.

"It's going to rain!"

Just now Ju Ping came to report that the Huang family had been officially ordered by the emperor to have their property confiscated, and that they would be executed on a chosen day, along with Huang who was now in prison.

"Your Majesty! General Qin has begged for the emperor's grace to spare Luqi's death sentence. But she will still have to continue to stay in jail." Kikuhei stood beside Nanxiang and replied softly.

"This is already very good. After all, Luqi has killed many royal heirs! If the emperor lets her go so easily, the world will laugh at her."

This was something Nan Xiang had anticipated a long time ago. Or if she had not invited Gu Junshen to the palace when he was about to issue an edict that day, delaying it for a while, perhaps the edict would have been issued.

Once the imperial decree is issued, it cannot be withdrawn, no matter how much Qin Chenyang begs.

Nanxiang also didn't want Qin Chenyang to do anything stupid in the end. The two siblings were both stubborn, but they were also family members willing to sacrifice for each other.

If an imperial decree were to come down, Qin Chenyang might do something to hurt Gu Junshen out of anxiety.

Gu Chenyu is still young and cannot take on important responsibilities, so nothing can happen to Gu Junshen.

"Oh, right! You just said that the Huang family was raided. But has a date been set for the execution?"

Nanxiang recalled the incident with Concubine Xian and asked.

"It seems like three days later!"

"Three days later? He was executed directly, but we still have to wait three days."

Nan Xiang sneered after hearing this, and she couldn't wait to see Concubine Xian being executed.

Now the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and she is afraid that she may not live long. The Empress is a person who cannot get anything done. I heard that the Empress seems to have had a conflict with the Empress Dowager recently. She did not even go to visit the Empress Dowager when she was seriously ill.

Nanxiang vaguely guessed the reason. When the Queen came out of the boudoir, many things were handled by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is a person who is cunning and reckless.

Maybe the Queen Mother did a lot of things in private that implicated the Queen, such as the child in her belly.

"Oh, my lady! Miss Mu asked me to bring you a message!"

"Mu Wanxi? Now that she has gotten her revenge, she can be considered satisfied."

"Yes! Miss Mu has started doing business now. She said she wants to use the money returned by the emperor to rebuild the Mu family. In addition, Miss Mu donated half of the money in the name of the queen."

Nan Xiang was slightly surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect Mu Wanxi to be so willing to do so.

"She's thoughtful. It's worth my help this time."
