Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 370
This banquet is really full of noble people.

Everyone gave Nan Surou a lot of face. To be exact, this banquet is the one that really stabilizes Nan Surou's status. The last time the rectification banquet was just to inform others of Nan Surou's existence.

When the banquet started, everyone was very excited and raised their glasses to toast.

The crown prince and several other princes presented gifts one after another, all of which were carefully selected, showing how much they valued Nan Surou, the princess.

Nan Surou always had a gentle smile on her face, and she behaved properly when receiving the gift.

However, Tuoba Lian was surprised to find that when Nan Surou accepted his gift, there was an imperceptible sarcasm in the treacherous cat's eyes.

Tuoba Lian couldn't help frowning, he really didn't know when he had offended Nan Surou, if it was Zing Xingxiu, then it was possible, but Zing Xingxiu was just pursuing her, and she had been punished several times Every time, it was miserable, no matter how she looked at it, she was in the upper hand, but the source of Nan Surou's hatred seemed to be deeper, which made Tuoba Lian very puzzled.

At this time, Dong Liu, the personal maid beside Nan Surou, suddenly walked back to Nan Surou quietly from the dark place.

Dong Liu nodded to Nan Surou, Nan Surou's lips curled up, but she didn't say anything.

Tuoba Lian had been paying attention to her all the time, seeing this scene in his eyes, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, it seemed a little abnormal, he lowered his head and meditated.

However, the moment Tuoba Lian bowed his head in thought, Nan Surou's eyes shifted to him, but they did not meet.

Xingxiu has also been watching Nan Surou, keenly discovering the strange light hidden by Nan Surou's gentle smile.

Xing Xingxiu's heart trembled, and the scene of eating sheep sauce flashed decisively in his mind, and the dishes on the table suddenly became unpalatable.

Ji Xingxiu kept hinting that he definitely couldn't ignore the spread of uneasiness.

He thought with all his heart that he could do it, but Nan Surou's expression really made him care too much. Although Nan Surou had talked and laughed with the people around him again at this moment, Xing Xingxiu still felt an uncomfortable wind around him linger.

The Queen whispered in Nan Surou's ear, "How is it?"

Nan Surou had a gentle smile on her face, and said calmly: "It's nothing, empress, don't worry."

Hearing these words, the empress nodded in relief, and immediately changed the subject, "This is the lotus seed soup that just arrived, you can try it."

Nan Surou smiled lightly, took the lotus seed soup, and tested it with the things in her hands. Although it was fine, she couldn't eat it, so she just took a sip. She thought that she would have something to do later, so she lowered her head.

At this time, the prince raised his glass to Nan Surou not far away, and Nan Surou smiled back.

The moment the two looked at each other and laughed, there was a heart-piercing scream from the other side of the garden. The audience was disturbed by the scream, and there was a sudden silence, and everyone was frightened. go.

Originally all the guests were in high spirits, but being disturbed like this, the whole banquet fell into a strange situation.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he ordered the eunuch Deng Bingxian to go and check. Who knew that Sun Liangdi, the daughter of Zuo Prime Minister Sun Xuezhu's family, hurried towards the banquet from the direction where the screams came out, supported by several maidservants.

Sun Liangdi's whole body was shaking like chaff, everyone was wondering, it wasn't that cold this day.

The queen frowned, and said to Nan Surou in a low voice: "That's the left prime minister's daughter, such a gaffe must have happened, it's a big deal."

Nan Surou lowered her eyes and said thoughtfully: "Yes, what's wrong with her?"

The queen's questioning this time is just to confirm whether this matter has anything to do with Nan Surou, but with Nan Surou's attitude, the empress immediately put the doubts behind her.

Sun Liangdi was brought to her mother's side by the palace maid, and as soon as Mrs. Sun picked up Sun Liangdi, Sun Liangdi fell into her mother's arms, trembling and unable to speak.

Mrs. Sun was taken aback, and hurriedly asked concerned: "Daughter, what's going on?"

Sun Xuezhu paid great attention to face, seeing her daughter disrupting the banquet in full view, she almost stood up and reprimanded her.

Unexpectedly, Sun Liangdi cried loudly, trembling all over, "Mother, there is a dead man over there—"

Her voice was extremely sharp, with a crying tone.

The people who were present were attracted by her appearance, and there was no sound. She cried like this, and her voice was very abrupt and very clear.

There was an uproar.

It is normal for people to die in this palace, but it is a bit unlucky for guests to see dead bodies at such a time.

Everyone's expression changed suddenly.

The queen couldn't help frowning, and cast a nonchalant glance at Nan Surou, trying to get clues from her face, but couldn't find any clues.

Madam Sun was afraid that her daughter would get into trouble, so she couldn't help but whispered: "Did you see it wrong, it's getting dark, maybe you didn't see it clearly."

Sun Liangdi was terrified, and cried and said: "No, my daughter saw it right, really, if you don't believe me, ask these sisters, they all saw it, it was in the lotus pond, their face was as white as a ghost, it's scary!"

At this time, Concubine Lian in the seat couldn't help but peek at Nan Surou.

But seeing Nan Surou drinking tea with her head down, calm and calm, she didn't seem to care about this matter.

Mrs. Wei Guo's eyes flashed in the seat, and she also looked at Nan Surou. Seeing Nan Surou's calm look, Mrs. Wei Guo felt uneasy.

The emperor is an old fox. He has long seen that there is a problem. It is a family scandal. He must stop the matter from developing in an irreversible direction. He immediately ordered: "It should be a mistake. Come, help the left Prime Minister's mansion." Qianjin went to the side hall to rest."

Sun Liangdi was terribly frightened, and seeing everyone's eyes focused on her at this moment, she shrank suddenly, did not dare to speak, saluted and thanked the emperor, and then retreated embarrassingly.

Nan Surou kept her head down, but from the corner of her eyes, she saw countless eyes shooting at her, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart. The reason why they had such eyes was because they thought that this plan was perfect, and Nan Surou must be unable to resist. sky.

Concubine Lian saw that the emperor was planning to calm the matter, so she immediately said, "Your Majesty, Ms. Sun must have made a mistake, but it would be more appropriate to send someone to check."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is the best choice to understand the situation before making a decision.

The emperor nodded. He had ordered Deng Bingxian to check it earlier, so he didn't need to worry about it now. When the result came out, he was about to throw away the matter.

But seeing the imperial concubine walking over quickly, "Your Majesty, Princess Wan Yue is gone."

The emperor was taken aback. Princess Wanyue was the daughter of the imperial concubine and the No. 18 princess of the emperor. She was three years old this year, and she was a lively and active child. She was too naughty and often made dangerous moves, climbing dangerous places, especially She likes places with water, she said, falling directly into the water won't hurt, and the imperial concubine was so scared that she almost had a heart attack.

At this moment, Sun Liangdi said earlier that she saw a corpse in the water, and the next second the imperial concubine said that Princess Wanyue was missing...

The emperor looked puzzled, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to look for it right away."
