Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 376
Concubine Hua came out of Jingkun Palace and caught up with Deng Bingxian who was going to send Ninth Prince Tuoba Lian to Empress Dowager Yongshou Palace.

"Eunuch Deng, please stop." Hua Guifei had a gentle face.

Deng Bingxian is a person close to the emperor, and he is good at observing words and expressions. Hearing what Concubine Hua said, he naturally understood that Concubine Hua had just said a few words to the Ninth Prince, and hoped that it would be convenient for him.

Deng Bingxian cast a glance at Concubine Hua, and said, "Your Majesty, the miscellaneous family was ordered to send the Ninth Prince to the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace to punish him. Please make a long story short."

Concubine Hua smiled and said, "It won't be too long."

While speaking, the maidservant next to Concubine Hua slipped a stack of banknotes into Deng Bingxian's hand without any trace.

Deng Bingxian has long been an old fritter, and he naturally hid the stack of banknotes in his sleeve with smooth movements. Then, he winked at a few young eunuchs next to him, and walked to a farther place. Although he was staring at the Ninth Prince, But it also spared a private space for Concubine Hua and the Ninth Prince.

When Deng Bingxian stayed away, the servants beside Concubine Hua also quietly left.

This posture, Tuoba Lian is very clear, it is that the concubine mother has something private to say to him, for some reason, he has always been afraid of Concubine Hua, and now seeing this smile on Concubine Hua's face makes him feel even more excited There was an ominous premonition.

Concubine Hua still had a smile on her face, but her voice became extremely cold. "Do you know who did this?"

Tuoba Lian swallowed his saliva, lowered his voice and said: "This matter was originally aimed at the prince, since there is a mistake, naturally..."

Before he finished speaking, Concubine Hua immediately interrupted treacherously: "Naturally it is the prince? Are you sure? Are you sure?"

There was endless sarcasm in her words, causing Tuoba Lian to swallow all the words that came out of his mouth.

Seeing Tuoba Lian's complexion is not good, Hua Guifei taunted again: "Lian, how did the concubine mother teach you? Have you used your ability to analyze people on dogs?"

Tuoba Lian didn't want to endure that kind of tone anymore, he immediately begged for mercy: "My son is stupid, please give me some pointers."

Concubine Hua still had a gentle smile on her face, which at least reassured Deng Bingxian who was not far away. However, what she said was extremely inconsistent with her facial expression: "You have been with the Empress and His Royal Highness for many years. You are well aware of their methods and temperament, do you think they really did what happened today?"

"But if it weren't for that, I really can't think of who is behind the manipulation." Tuoba Lian frowned.

"What's the origin of that Princess Ruiherou?" When she asked this sentence, Concubine Hua's eyes became dark.

Hearing Concubine Hua mention Nan Surou, Tuoba Lian's heart trembled, and he subconsciously said: "It is said that she is the distant cousin of Mrs. Wei, who was born in the countryside like Luming Town. In order to cling to the queen, she first recognized Kane Hu as her adoptive father. After being favored by the queen, she was named Princess Ruiherou."

"The queen doesn't do meaningless things. Since she was named princess, Ruihe was added to the title prefix, which proves that she loves this girl very much." Concubine Hua's eyes were dim, and she said, "However, she is just beautiful and well-behaved. If she doesn't get the Queen's favor, this girl must have something special."

"The concubine mother means that she..." Tuoba Lian said with a look of incredulity, "It's impossible, we and the concubine Lian are on the same front, Mrs. Wei is helping Concubine Lian, and Nan Surou is the concubine of Wei." Madam's cousin, how could you be our enemy?"

Concubine Hua Gui couldn't help sneering, and said: "Brothers have turned against each other, let alone a distant cousin, Mrs. Wei may not get along with Nan Surou, and maybe it is a deep hatred, there may be something here... just We don't know."

"But she is only eight years old, how could it be possible..." Tuoba Lian still denied it.

"How did I teach you, never underestimate anyone, especially women." Concubine Hua said gloomyly: "Women are born experts at lying, women's complex and changeable movements and words are usually very confusing, so most At that time, it was easy for women to deceive men. I have observed that people like Nan Surou prefer to use clever means to manipulate others, and this incident must have nothing to do with her!"

"But I didn't see any clues from her." Tuoba Lian retorted.

"Because she tells a lie as easily as changing her tone, she must be 'studying hard' about it." Concubine Hua looked at Tuoba Lian with a sullen look, and said, "You can't stop others from lying. Just learn to never be fooled, that little girl named Nan Surou, no matter her origin or other things, is extremely weak, but if you let her guard down because of this, it is a big mistake."

"Mother and concubine, what should I do? Now the emperor punishes me to face the wall and think about my mistakes." Tuoba Lian frowned.

"Your father still loves you so much, so you still just face the wall and think about it. If you think that Concubine Yu Shu's death will be nothing, this time he will let you go, but you must not take it lightly, because the seeds of doubt have already been planted." It's gone." Concubine Hua's eyes flickered slightly. "I want you to pretend that nothing happened recently, eat well and sleep well, face the wall and think about your mistakes, and keep your ears shut."

Tuoba Lian frowned even deeper, but his mother had never miscalculated, so he didn't make a sound of doubt, but responded in a low voice.

After finishing speaking, Concubine Hua called Deng Bingxian to come over and asked Deng Bingxian to send Tuoba Lian to Yongshou Palace, while she brought her personal maid Baimei back to her Ronghua Palace.

At this time, Nan Surou had already walked out of the palace gate and stepped on the carriage back home.

Nan Surou leaned on the tea pillow, sat in the depths of the carriage, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since what happened to Hu Jun, Yun Rong didn't dare to act rashly again.

But since then, Nan Surou has not been as confiding in her as before.

Therefore, Yun Rong only dared to make tea without saying a word.

Dong Liu wanted to ask something, but because of Yun Rong's presence, he didn't ask.

Before the banquet started, Nan Surou asked Dong Liu to check the whereabouts of the concubines who were not present, but was surprised to find that there was a dead body in the lotus pond not far away. It was Concubine Yu Shu, and she came back immediately to report to Nan Surou, who told her to immediately go to Yun Ai and Qu Lanyi and let them act in such a play.

But Dongliu didn't expect such an inside story, and no matter how she looked at it, she didn't quite understand where it was. Since Nan Surou wanted Princess Wanyue to see the "nine princes" push "Concubine Yu Shu" into the water, then Why not replace the prince's purse with that of the ninth prince, but that purse belongs to Concubine Lian?
This is Nan Surou's warning, Tuoba Lian wants to frame the prince, and Concubine Lian is the same, because Concubine Lian and Tuoba Lian are on the same front, Nan Surou feels too bad for only cheating on either of them, Naturally, they will all be dragged into the water.

Moreover, Nan Surou knows the emperor too well. The emperor is a very partial father. On the surface, the ninth prince Tuoba Lian is not favored, but in fact he is the emperor's favorite son. If he makes a mistake, the emperor will definitely cover it up. It doesn't matter what he did, anyway, the emperor won't let it be investigated. However, if this matter involves Concubine Lian, the emperor will definitely not even think about it. He will definitely investigate strictly. He will not think that his son is wrong, but will They think that Concubine Lian is behind the scenes, seducing, or even framing her. In short, the Ninth Prince must be right and Concubine Lian must be wrong, and there is nothing to discuss.
