Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 425 The Man Who Lost Face

The maid screamed and rushed out.

But Tuoba Lin didn't scold her for being presumptuous, but immediately noticed something was wrong. However, he had a splitting headache and his body moved slowly.

Tuoba Lin kept recalling that he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine before going to bed, and the headache was clearly caused by a hangover, but he couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

Tuoba Lin was very concerned about the maid's reaction just now, he struggled to get to the vanity mirror.

"Wow ah ah ah ah-" Seeing the scene in the mirror, Tuoba yelled suddenly: "Who is this? God ah ah-"

He screamed for a while, only to realize that the monster in the mirror was the same as himself except for the face, whether it was the movements, the clothes, or even the beautiful hair, except for the horrible face.

Do not--

it's not true-

The one who was disfigured was the Ninth Prince Tuoba Lian!It wasn't him, what he wanted was to watch the pain of the mother and child forever behind his back, instead of ushering in this horrible, monster and demon-like face.

With a bang, the door was knocked open, and his personal guard came in, saw his back, was about to salute, but saw the terrifying face reflected in the mirror, the guard suddenly yelled , Raised the sword and rushed forward.

Tuoba Lin didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly stopped: "Presumptuous—how dare you trespass into my Highness's room!"

However, as soon as he stopped drinking, he suddenly found that his voice was different from before. His voice became darker than before, and it was a little thinner, which was clearly not his voice.

Different voices, different looks.

This made the guard, who was still a little hesitant, make up his mind.

The guard yelled: "Bold and lunatic, how dare you put on the clothes of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and arrest him without your hands tied?"

Tuoba Lin never thought that he would encounter such a weird thing. If his original attendants were still there, maybe he could see some clues. After all, he was served by those people for bathing or other things. It's a pity that he After ruining the appearance of the Ninth Prince Tuoba Lian, those cowards were afraid of taking responsibility for the crime, so they ran away long ago.

In this world, no one can prove that the person with such appearance and such voice is the Seventh Prince Tuoba Lin.

Tuoba Lin made a decisive decision, and immediately rushed out from the open window, running wildly for his life.

Only the voices of angry reprimand behind him could be heard one after another.

"There are assassins—"

"Hurry up, catch him and torture him to extract a confession. We must find out the whereabouts of His Royal Highness Seven."

"Commander, that monster said he is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

"How is it possible, not to mention his appearance, his voice doesn't look like that at all, catch him!"

Tuoba Lin ran wildly for his life ahead, and he could see the majestic scenery in front of him.

Tuoba Lin was not usually a Lianjiazi, and he couldn't stand being chased by a group of guards, but in the end he was beaten half to death and dragged away.

At the other end of the post house, an unmarked carriage was parked there.

In the carriage, Nan Surou is making tea.

Facing the man wearing a thick silver mask but looking at the noise outside the carriage window, she said, "Your Highness Ninth, are you still satisfied?"

Tuoba Lian turned his gaze back from the car window, his eyes were dim, and he said indifferently: "You are really powerful."

Nan Surou lowered her eyes, handed a cup of tea to Tuoba Lian, and said with a light smile: "Your Highness, don't say that, I didn't do this, I'm just well-informed."

"I know you won't leave any excuses, and you won't admit it, but thank you anyway, don't worry, I won't make trouble about this matter, and I also understand that since you dare to do it, you won't do it without a second Second-hand preparations, I won’t make trouble.” Tuoba Lian’s eyes shifted out of the car window again, and he murmured: “Kill him, it’s really too cheap for him, let him taste what I’ve endured. The hell on earth is not bad, he is not the noble Seventh Prince Tuoba Lin, but a fugitive who killed the Seventh Prince."

Tuoba Lian somewhat understood his mother's intentions, a person like Nan Surou is too powerful, if he becomes an enemy, it will make people very painful.

Nan Surou never takes action by herself, but she can make people mentally collapse. The Seventh Prince Tuoba Lin will not know who is plotting against him, right?

And the reason why Nan Surou made the move was also because Tuoba Lin did not hesitate to shirk his own fault to Nan Surou in court.

What makes Tuoba Lian most vigilant is not this, but the emperor's attitude. Tuoba Lian knows that what the prince said is not unreasonable, but for that little achievement, he gave up letting Nan Surou be the dead ghost. This reason is really It's far-fetched, there must be something else in it, which he doesn't know...

Because of this, Tuoba Lian felt that he couldn't lose Nan Surou's support.

But the queen has already made it to the top, and the last time Hua Guifei plotted against Nan Surou and was plotted against, in any case, they already had a rift in their hearts.

Perhaps this entrustment of revenge is an opportunity...

Nan Surou didn't smile, she lowered her voice, and said flatly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to get his face back to its original appearance, his voice has changed, and no one can recognize him. Concubine Yu Shu, who knows him best, leaves before him. In this world, the people he served in the past all fled because of fear, and no one can testify for him anymore."

Tuoba Lian looked out of the window, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes: "Laughing at someone like him behind his back is really the best revenge."

Tuoba Lian's laughter was bitter and joyful.

With no emotion in her eyes, Nan Surou asked in a low voice: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, is your face... still treated?"

There is no need to ask this sentence, the answer is obvious.

Tuoba Lian has been injured like that, so he naturally wants to restore his appearance, but the appearance Nan Surou asked him to make is not his original face, which makes Tuoba Lian duplicity...

When Nan Surou took out a picture scroll and asked Tuoba Lian to consider whether he would like to make it like this.

Tuoba Lian once thought that it would be some kind of heinous flowery boy.

However, after reading the picture scroll, Tuoba Lian realized how stupid his original thought was.

Since it is the face that Nan Surou misses day and night, how can it be the heinous appearance?

This is not a painting belonging to the Central Plains style, but an oil painting from Daqin. It is very realistic, and the background color is dark.

What surprised Tuoba Lian was not the painting style, but the people in the painting.

The man had curly blond hair, and was wearing a black robe embroidered with dark patterns, which was Fanbang costumes. The man's beauty that eclipsed the world was enough to cover and eliminate the ugliness and tragedy of death.

Why do you mention death? It's because...

Zhongyuan's paintings often use an elegant environment as the background, but behind the characters in this painting is a miserable scene. The woods and roads are blood-red, the buildings are painted with dark red, and the ground around the characters can't be seen at all, because There was a mountain of corpses piled up there.

Those corpses died tragically, some had their throats torn, some had mutilated limbs, and some had their heads detached... It seemed that they had been abandoned for a long time, and the eyes of those corpses were oozing out, rotten, and infested with insects like ants. These scenes were depicted extremely delicately, Under the backdrop of the oil painting effect, the scene looked extremely real, like a mirror, taking that scene down.
