Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 383 Ask the truth

The women on both sides couldn't help raising their feet to chase, but they were stopped by Nan Surou's eyes. Everyone looked at the queen hesitantly.

Everyone was staring at Lian Yue's leaving back. However, when Lian Yue walked to the gate of the palace, she stopped suddenly. She was like a stiff wooden sculpture. Kneel down.

Lian Yue seemed unable to forgive herself, she kowtowed non-stop, and the sound of kowtowing was like a terrible voice echoing in everyone's hearts.

Rao even the queen couldn't stand such a stimulus, and almost screamed out.

Nan Surou's eyes flashed, and she immediately said to the servants beside her: "There is nothing for you here, you go down first, Lian Yue may have something to say to the empress alone."

Those servants looked at each other in blank dismay, but refused to leave until the empress said, "You all go down."

The servants walked away in embarrassment.

Eunuch An was the last one to leave the palace gate and closed the gate from the outside. Nan Surou sighed and said, "Lianyue, the Empress keeps her word, you don't have to be afraid."

Lian Yue cried and said: "Empress, this servant is wrong, you have treated my servant well, I am sorry for you, if this servant leaves like this, my conscience will be really hard to rest."

Hearing Lian Yue's words, the queen finally understood Nan Surou's intentions, and her expression softened a little. This was probably what Nan Surou said a few days ago, she wanted to ask Lian Yue's truth in person, right?
Lian Yue continued: "Empress, Concubine Huagui ordered her servants to leave ten witchcraft dolls in the courtyard of Jingkun Palace, all of which are made of fabric..."

Ten voodoo dolls...

Nan Surou's face remained calm, but her heart couldn't help but feel a chill, this concubine Hua Gui wanted to punish the queen to death, ten witch dolls, this was a waste of money.

If Nan Surou hadn't looked at Lianyue with a little conscience and deliberately seduced her, Lianyue would not have said anything about her death.

The queen tried to keep calm, but her shoulders couldn't help shaking.

Concubine Hua's attack was really ruthless, she was trying to make the empress doomed.

The plague is raging outside, and these are the most taboo things for the emperor. Once found out, they will be severely punished.

The queen's body was cold, and she felt a wave of fear spreading in her heart. If Lian Yue died today without telling her, or just walked away as Nan Surou said, they would just dig out Lian Yue who just buried her today. The voodoo dolls that go down, and the rest can also make the queen fall into the abyss.

It was at this time that the Queen deeply realized the intention of Nan Surou's every move just now.

Nan Surou has lived in Jingkun Palace for some time, and she analyzes and evaluates Lianyue every day. She has seen Lianyue's character and what to do so that Lianyue can tell the truth by herself.

The queen couldn't help but she was in a cold sweat. She just felt that Nan Surou was a little too scary. She had been pampered and honored for many years, but she was caught in harem disputes every day, but she had never been as sharp as Nan Surou. Then use her weakness to lure Lian Yue into submission...

Nan Surou seems to be guiding Lian Yue to do what Nan Surou wants her to do involuntarily.

Nan Surou listened quietly, without interrupting Lian Yue.

The queen sat upright and didn't make a sound.

Lianyue suddenly repented and said: "Your Majesty, this servant is very clear that there is a price to pay for doing such a thing, but Concubine Hua took the servant's family and gave the servant a lot of money to pay off the debt of the younger brother. If the servant takes the money, if If I don't do anything, I always feel guilty. But at this moment, the servant feels that if she framed the empress in this way, she will not be able to live in peace for the rest of her life, and after the concubine Huagui succeeds, she will definitely not leave the servant with a low life. Use such a vicious method to deal with the empress, and the empress knows that the slave has made a big mistake, but she still lets the slave go. If the slave does not repay the favor, it will be punished by heaven. The slave will lead the way to take the remaining Nine witch-gu dolls were dug out, and they were placed under four sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the southeast, northwest, under the crabapple tree in the west, in a gap in the corner of the side hall, under the hydrangea bushes in the courtyard, and in the water lily pot in the courtyard. , and in the ninth chrysanthemum pot that was moved in a few days ago..."

Lian Yue finished speaking in one breath, and at the end, she looked at the faces of the queen and Nan Surou, and couldn't help lowering her head, waiting for what to say.

The queen didn't speak, but just looked at Nan Surou.

Nan Surou had a gentle smile on her face. Seeing that Lianyue stopped talking, she asked, "Lianyue, is there anyone else who will share this matter with you?"

"These things were all done by the servant alone. I don't know if the rest of the people did the same thing." Lianyue shook her head and said.

"Do you want to leave or stay, what is the truth?" Nan Surou asked.

"If..." Lianyue blushed and lowered her head, "If I can stay, this servant wants to continue serving the empress, but after knowing this, this servant has no face to serve the empress."

Nan Surou chuckled, and said: "If that's the case, you can continue to pretend you haven't been caught to negotiate with Concubine Hua."

Lian Yue's whole body trembled suddenly, her eyes widened and she said: "The princess means..."

"People are not sages without faults, and you have made up for your mistakes, and the empress is a tolerant person. Seeing that you are so sincere, she will naturally keep you." Nan Surou said with a smile: "As long as you are willing to stay, the empress will keep you." Still waiting for you like before."

The empress dare not keep those who have betrayed once, she is not confident that those who have betrayed once will not betray a second time, especially someone like Lian Yue who has become a fool, but since Nan Surou wants to She didn't object to doing so, but she would find someone to monitor Lian Yue, and there was nothing wrong with being vigilant.

Lianyue is very grateful, and with the empress' consent, Nan Surou called Eunuch An into the main hall, and after giving some instructions, he asked Eunuch An to take Lianyue down.

When everything was dealt with, only Nan Surou and Queen were left in the main hall.

Now that she finally had a separate space, the queen couldn't bear it anymore, and she asked anxiously, "Do you want to tell the queen mother about this?"

"Empress Empress, you have known the Empress Dowager for so many years, do you think the Empress Dowager is willing to stand by your side?" Nan Surou mercilessly poured cold water on her.

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been very complicated, and the queen and the queen mother are not immune. The queen mother has never liked the queen. Concubine Hua dared to tell Lianyue to do such a thing, so she naturally made every possible preparation. Concubine Hua Gui, there is no real evidence to prove that Concubine Hua Gui did it, then Lian Yue's life will be wasted for nothing, and Concubine Hua Gui will be forgiven because of insufficient evidence.
