Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 380 The Inexplicable Scent

"You also suspect that he is not dead, right? Or, you would rather he betrayed you than accept the fact that he is dead." Concubine Hua's eyes were condensed, staring at Tuoba Lian.

In a word, Tuoba Lian deeply experienced the bone-piercing feeling of a cold water empowerment. He suddenly widened his eyes, but heard Hua Guifei's curse-like words, "You have been hiding very deeply, but your knowledge is too shallow. Don't think you can hide it from me, you won't...really like him, right?"

This kind of taboo love is not allowed to happen and cannot be known by anyone.

Tuoba Lian was very frantic, with a pale face, neither admitted nor denied.

Concubine Hua sneered, "You have to be clear about your identity, what you should do and what you can't do, he 'died' well, he must have discovered your abnormality, so he fled away."

One sentence made Tuoba Lian's heart tremble, and he couldn't help saying: "Mother Concubine, what are you talking about, I just think he is too useful to me, so..."

Concubine Hua Gui snorted coldly, and said: "He is not the only capable person in this world, even if there are too few people who are as omnipotent as him, you just need to find a few more people to make up for it. Moreover, the potential of his favored minister is so powerful. I feel uncomfortable, so don't worry about him anymore, if he is really alive, he might become our enemy in the future, he knows a lot about you, you have to be careful!"

The question in Tuoba Lian's heart still haunted him, but he replied softly on the surface: "Yes, Concubine Mu."

On the other side, Nan Surou routinely went to Jingkun Palace to pay her respects to the empress.

There are many people in the Queen's Palace, Nan Surou will habitually look at them every time she comes, and she analyzes them without any trace, this is her habit.

Because of this, on this day, she discovered something unusual.

There are several maidservants in charge of serving tea and water, however, Nan Surou saw something strange about one of the maidservants today.

The maids in the palace are uniformly dressed and plainly dressed, but one of the maids wears a safety buckle tied with a blue thread around her neck.

Moreover, the safety buckle was placed extremely low, if Nan Surou hadn't deliberately observed it, she might not have seen it, and probably thought she was just wearing a blue thread.

Looking from a distance, the servant girl seemed to have only a rope hanging around her neck, which did not violate the palace rules. The safety buckle on the front was rosy all over, which was very different from the usual safety buckle.

Nan Surou seemed to approach unintentionally, but felt a sweet scent coming from the maidservant.

Nan Surou smelled the smell, and rolled her eyes. She had seen countless jewels in her previous life, so she knew what the smell meant. Coupled with the rosy body, Nan Surou already understood that it was extraordinary.

Nan Surou once asked Dong Liu to thoroughly investigate everyone around the empress. She read the dossier very well, so she naturally knew the origin of the maid with the red safety buckle in front of her.

The name of this maid is Lian Yue. It is said that in another year, if there is nothing wrong with her, she will be able to leave the palace. Waiting for her to choose a family to marry after leaving the palace, and take some dowry as her brother's betrothal gift... How can there be such a thing in such a family?
Nan Surou didn't show anything on her face, but countless thoughts flashed in her mind. She smiled and said to Lianyue, "Your name is Lianyue. What good things have happened to you recently?"

As soon as these words came out, Lian Yue's pupils stared suddenly, and the corners of her lips were crooked. Afterwards, she blinked and said in her mouth: "If you go back to the princess, the servant did not encounter any good things."

Nan Surou stared at her from the beginning to the end, not letting go of any subtle expression on her face.

Using both eyes and ears, watching and listening, Nan Surou read something from Lianyue's expression, she smiled and said: "Really? I saw you smiling so happily, I thought there was something good about it."

After finishing speaking, Nan Surou ignored Lianyue and walked into the front hall as usual to greet the queen.

The queen noticed Nan Surou's conversation with Lian Yue just now.

When the idlers in the front hall all retreated, the queen asked, "You are not a random person. Just now you asked Lian Yue, what is your purpose?"

"She's lying." Nan Surou affirmed without hesitation.

The queen frowned, "Even if something good happens to her, so what?"

Nan Surou raised her eyes to look at the queen, and said with a smile: "Empress, is that on her neck a gift from you?"

The queen subconsciously said: "No, I haven't tipped anyone in the palace recently, let alone recently, I have never tipped Lianyue."

"That's it. Lianyue won't leave the palace until next year, and she is poor. Which nobleman in the palace rewarded her with a safety button made of red musk? Since it wasn't given by the empress, then another There is someone." Nan Surou smiled treacherously.

Hearing this sentence, the queen's eyes widened. Not everyone knows about red musk, and people who don't know it can't tell it apart. It's impossible for Lianyue's background and experience to have such a thing for no reason. something.

"Are you... sure?" the queen said gloomily.

"I'm sure, I even sniffed the smell, it's very clear within five steps, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it." Nan Surou nodded and said.

"The effect of that thing is to wake up the mind, promote blood circulation, relieve pain, and induce labor... It will damage the skin permanently. Lian Yue will leave the palace next year. When the time comes, you can marry as you like. It is impossible not to think about your future. How can you wear it? That kind of thing." The queen couldn't help saying.

"Empress Empress, maybe I'm overthinking, maybe she just has menstrual pain, and she asked someone to borrow it to adjust her menstruation..." Nan Surou smiled.

"Your expression tells me that this matter is definitely not simple." Empress Empress disagreed.

"Let's observe for a few more days, so as not to wrong a good person, those who are relatives and enemies are quick." Nan Surou shook his head and said: "Just pretend you don't know and let people spy on her. If there is nothing wrong with her, then it will be fine. , but if she really committed any wrongdoing, she would still ask someone to steal it and get it."

Liars have the fear of being exposed by others, so they will have a strong psychological defense and arm themselves from the heart. The appropriate way is to attack the other party's weaknesses when they are a little shaken.

To be honest, after going through her previous life, what Nan Surou hated the most was the betrayal of her close ones. It was too chilling, too painful, and too disgusting!
However, this kind of thing cannot be avoided at all, especially when standing on a high place and being looked up to by others, the enemy hiding in the dark, threats, reasons, bewitching... all kinds of tricks are used, and it is not oneself that is dealt with, but those around him People, myself or a very vigilant person is not easy to be deceived, but others are different...
