After the rebirth, the princess became the richest man

Chapter 67
Xiaotao did not doubt Lin Qingyue's words, and went out with the big bag of rouge.

As soon as Xiaotao left, Lin Qingyue slumped on the chair, her whole body strength seemed to be emptied suddenly, and she was struggling even to move her fingers.

After relaxing on the chair for a while, Lin Qingyue moved her lips slightly and asked, "How do you know there is something wrong with that rouge?"

"intuition."

Lin Qingyue felt that Xiao Linze was hiding something, but she didn't ask any further questions.

If Xiao Linze hadn't reminded her of this matter, she might still be kept in the dark.

It's not that Xiao Linze deliberately wanted to hide anything from Lin Qingyue, it's just that if the ins and outs of this matter were explained clearly, Lin Qingyue might doubt his identity, so Xiao Linze chose to conceal the truth.

This matter can be traced back to the early years, when Xiao Linze lived in the palace before the coronation ceremony.

There are countless maids and eunuchs in the palace, and the palace is deep. Lives die quietly every day. The people in the palace have long been numb to this, and Xiao Linze is one of them.

Because of his good friendship with Xiao Yu, Xiao Linze will inevitably walk around in Ganquan Palace. He has a good memory and has a photographic memory.

His mother and concubine passed away early, and the emperor didn't care about him. Xiao Linze knew the truth of keeping a low profile since he was a child. On weekdays, when the Taifu used random checks on his homework, he always pretended not to remember, and was always scolded by the Taifu.

As time passed, rumors about Xiao Linze's natural dullness spread in the palace.

For a prince who is naturally dull and not favored by the emperor, people will instinctively let go of their guard.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Linze discovered the strangeness in Ganquan Palace.

There are many more maids and eunuchs in the Queen's Palace than in other palaces, and it is very common for eunuchs and maids to serve in shifts.

Ordinary people will not notice even if they find that the people who serve them for several days in a row are different.

After all, to the people in this palace, eunuchs are no different from maids and livestock.

Xiao Linze didn't care about this at first, but because of his photographic memory, he accidentally discovered that one or two maids would disappear in the Queen's Palace every once in a while, and these maids never appeared again.

Xiao Linze had a vague feeling that those court ladies should be dead, but he didn't investigate too deeply.

He was weak at that time, but he was just an underage prince, and it was not worth fighting against the empress for a few insignificant court ladies.

It was also because of this that Xiao Linze had a whim and asked Lin Qingyue to smell the rouge.

He was only guessing at first, after Lin Qingyue confirmed that the rouge had a bloody smell, Xiao Linze was basically sure that the bloody smell in the rouge must be inextricably linked to those maids who disappeared in Ganquan Palace.

This kind of secret in the palace, the more you know, the sooner you will die. Lin Qingyue doesn't plan to reveal this matter, but if someone intends to provoke her, this matter may be used as a lever to restrain the other party.

"I knew the queen was not a good person. I didn't expect that she would do such insidious things secretly. Using this mixed rouge to paint her face every day, wouldn't she feel panicked?"

Thinking that the rouge might be mixed with human blood, Lin Qingyue shuddered.

"Sometimes people forget that they are human in order to achieve a certain purpose."

Xiao Linze's words lingered in Lin Qingyue's mind for a long time, and they would not leave for a long time.

She was suddenly curious as to why Xiao Linze had such abundant emotions.

A system is a system after all, and the fundamental reason why AI can never replace humans is emotion.

They can imitate, but cannot surpass.

Family affection, love, and friendship are all produced in extreme emotions.

But Xiao Linze gave Lin Qingyue a completely different feeling. Xiao Linze's emotions were smooth, and he expressed all kinds of emotions naturally. It felt like a real... person?

Lin Qingyue was startled suddenly, frightened by her own thoughts.

Lin Qingyue tried to persuade herself to forget this ridiculous idea, but the more she tried to forget it, the deeper it stuck.

Xiao Linze felt Lin Qingyue's huge mood swings, thinking that Lin Qingyue was still worried about Rouge's matter, so she rarely comforted her: "You don't have to worry too much, there are many such things in the palace, as long as you keep your mouth shut, If you don’t talk about it, nothing will happen.”

Xiao Linze's words did not comfort Lin Qingyue, but made her mood more ups and downs.

Lin Qingyue's lips moved slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she finally asked the question in her heart.

"Mr. System, why do you know so much about the affairs in the palace?"

Xiao Linze was slightly taken aback, and quickly reacted: "I knew it all along."

Lin Qingyue's dignified expression froze for a moment, and then she smiled in relief.

Of course the system knew everything, and it was very common for the system to reveal some information to her within a limited range.

"I think too much."

Lin Qingyue sighed lightly, and instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

It's just that she didn't know that what Xiao Linze said was completely different from what she understood.

After such a small episode, Lin Qingyue's strength has almost recovered.

She turned around and lifted the teapot with her fingers to pour herself a cup of tea, but found that the tea in the light teapot had already been drunk.

Lin Qingyue was holding the teapot in her hand, her eyebrows were slightly frowned.

Although Xiaotao is a little careless on weekdays, she is extremely careful in her work. There has never been such a situation where there is no water in the teapot.

Lin Qingyue suddenly looked in the direction of the door, and said with a condensed expression: "Has Xiaotao been out for too long?

Lin Qingyue put down the teapot and got up abruptly and went to the door, only to find that the two door gods and maids at the door were not there.

"what happened?"

Lin Qingyue walked out of the room quickly, and met a court lady as soon as she walked out of the small courtyard.

Lin Qingyue frowned slightly when she saw the maid in a hurry, and stopped her with her hand.

The maid was blocked by Lin Qingyue, her expression became more and more panicked.

"Miss Lin...do you have any orders?"

Lin Qingyue looked at the maid without saying a word. The maid could pretend to be calm at first, but after a long time, beads of sweat began to trickle down her cheeks drop by drop.

"Why don't you say it!" Lin Qingyue yelled loudly, and the little palace lady was startled, and suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Qingyue.

"Girl, spare your life! Miss, please spare my life! This servant didn't expect Miss Xiaotao to throw away the rouge and be discovered by the queen's maidservant."

Lin Qingyue's eyes froze suddenly, and she said something bad.

She had just captured the Queen's army this morning, and now that Xiaotao was caught by her, one can imagine the result.

"Where did the people go?"

The little maid raised her head tremblingly, and pointed to the palace in front of the guide.

"Miss Xiaotao was tied up by two maids and headed in that direction."

Lin Qingyue cast a cold glance at the little maid, and said coldly, "You should know what will happen if you lie to me?"

The little maid repeatedly kowtowed and said: "I dare not lie to the girl, every word I say is the truth, if there is even half a lie, I will definitely let the servant die without a whole body."

Lin Qingyue also wanted to cheat the maid for the last time, seeing that the maid dared to swear poisonously in front of her, she didn't suspect him, and hurried towards the palace pointed to by the little maid just now.

After Lin Qingyue's figure completely disappeared at the end of the road, the court lady stood up tremblingly from the ground, and looked timidly at the rockery beside her.
