Nanxing had already regained her pre-pregnancy figure and quickly came in to pay her respects upon hearing this.
Xiu'er looked at her and said, "Tsk tsk, what's wrong?"
It hasn't been that long since we last met, but Nanxing seems to have a completely different aura.
After living a blissful life of shamelessly eating radishes with Pei Shen, Nanxing softened considerably.
But now, it seems that the aloof and beautiful Nanxing has returned.
"Together with Pei Shen, we helped the Emperor investigate a case for two months."
Hanxiang was introduced to the Empress by her.
Later, when Hanxiang developed those feelings, Nanxing felt extremely guilty towards Tang Zhuyun.
Pei Shen went to the Emperor and volunteered to investigate the recently popular White Lotus Sect.
Tang Zhuyun: So they went to kill someone?
"White Lotus sounds familiar!" Xiu'er stroked her chin. "I remember now, didn't Mianmian spend a thousand taels of silver to invite a White Lotus Lady?"
She found it strange at the time.
I've heard of Buddha, Bodhisattva, God of Wealth, Kitchen God, and Queen Mother of the West, but I've never heard of the White Lotus Lady.
However, everyone was happily complaining about Huaishang at the time, and they forgot about this incident.
"What White Lotus Lady? She's just a traitor." Nanxing's expression was cold and stern.
Tang Zhuyun pointed to the seat to her left and said, "Sit down first."
Emperor Wen actually entrusted Pei Shen Nanxing with the task, which shows that this matter was of great importance and he probably wouldn't trust anyone else to do it.
Nanxing's imposing aura clearly indicated that a bloody and violent conflict was brewing within.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Nanxing sat down to her left and said, "Your Majesty, Lei Qun has been arrested."
Tang Zhuyun: "... What happened to him now?"
To be honest, tech people respect each other.
After getting to know Lei Qun, she really thought he was a pretty good person.
Do you remember that "world-changing" thing from before?
Tang Zhuyun stated that she does not have Alzheimer's disease and of course remembers what happened a few days ago.
But she didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with Lei Qun.
That person seemed like an honest man no matter how you looked at it.
Why can't they just earn a living with their skills? Why get involved in something as serious as this, which could lead to the extermination of nine generations of their family?
Was he not innocent in the previous assassination attempt?
Xiu'er, ever outspoken, said, "That matter has been investigated and clarified? Prince of Yong can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
After that incident, someone started spreading rumors that it was Prince of Yong who did it.
After all, of Emperor Wen's remaining brothers, this was the only one with any fighting ability.
Prince of Yong was so frightened that he wet himself, pushed away the beautiful woman in his arms, and ran to Emperor Wen, crying and wailing.
--Heaven and earth bear witness, he really didn't.
He was simply indulging in a life of pleasure and had absolutely no involvement in this matter.
Emperor Wen told him to get lost, but Prince of Yong refused, clinging to Emperor Wen's leg and pledging his loyalty.
Emperor Wen: Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?
Upon hearing this, Prince of Yong was finally relieved. His expression changed instantly as he stood up, dusted himself off, and shamelessly offered to impart to Emperor Wen a secret technique he had never shared with outsiders.
It's said to make men more manly.
Emperor Wen ordered him to be thrown out.
Tang Zhuyun has been laughing about this for three days now.
Xiu'er thought that Prince of Yong was utterly useless and incompetent, yet he was quite confident.
Who could believe it was him!
Now that Nanxing has told her that the truth has been found, Xiu'er teases Prince of Yong.
Tang Zhuyun said, "Perhaps the Prince of Yong is a hidden master!"
Nanxing: "No, Your Majesty, he's just a good-for-nothing, it has nothing to do with him."
Xiu'er: "See, I told you so. I'm a good judge of character! Come on, Nanxing, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, is it related to Lei Qun?"
Nanxing nodded.
"Your Majesty, the person who looks so much like you is indeed from the Yanrong Aristocratic Family of Nanyue."
Tang Zhuyun immediately became interested upon hearing this. "Have you found out?"
"Yes, she was someone Lei Qun brought in."
Tang Zhuyun: "???"
Could these two people be related?
Not to mention her, even Xiu'er, who is usually quick-witted and imaginative, was surprised.
"Could it be that they're planning to use that woman to impersonate the Empress and move around outside?"
Nanxing said, "That's exactly what they think."
Xiu'er: "I have such a bad mouth."
"This plan is meticulously crafted, with each step interconnected," Nanxing said. "They've considered many details."
A pincer attack from both inside and outside; someone is playing a very big game.
"The White Lotus Sect, which was prevalent among the common people, always operated under the banner of helping the world and saving people, so the emperor hadn't paid much attention to it before."
However, it was later proven that these people were merely seeking political capital, with their true aim being Emperor Wen.
Tang Zhuyun: "The White Lotus Sect and Lei Qun are also related?"
"Lei Qun's true identity," Nanxing didn't keep them in suspense, "Is also royalty."
Tang Zhuyun: "No wonder..."
That day, when she saw Lei Qun's profile from the palanquin, she was surprised to find that he resembled Emperor Wen somewhat.
At the time, she didn't think much of it.
To everyone's surprise, Lei Qun was also of royal lineage.
What did Lei Qun want to say to her that day?
Tang Zhuyun suddenly felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
