Chapter 263: Rouge Gu, who is behind the scenes

Queen Xiliang came to seal the three palace concubines, Concubine Yan was the least low-key, and Concubine Jin liked to calculate people the most.

On the other hand, Concubine Ming, she is the most low-key and the least noticeable. Even Tang Ning got married that day, Nangong Ming never came to send congratulatory gifts in person, and on the grounds of physical illness, she stayed in her palace until she couldn't come out.

According to the palace maids in Nangong Ming's palace, Nangong Ming doesn't like others to see her face, even if she usually wears a veil in her palace, she rarely shows her real name.

In the Xiliang Palace, Tang Ning understood Leng Yanyan and Ouyang Jin the most, because these two people liked to trouble Tang Ning when they had nothing to do. For Nangong Ming, Tang Ning knew very little, and only read the information written on the back of the sign when she entered the palace.

Nangong Ming's father is a small county magistrate, she has been weak since she was a child, so she was raised in the backyard and no one knows her. At the time of the wedding of Emperor Xiliang, he was personally recommended by his father, and was favored by Emperor Xiliang and directly named the imperial concubine.

For Nangong Ming, she can be described as a step to the sky.

Thinking of the person who locked himself in the bamboo garden and avoided Concubine Yan's jealousy and Concubine Jin's calculations, Tang Ning suddenly felt that that person was not simple.

Although there is no evidence to prove that Nangong Ming is related to the remnants of the Tang Sect, Tang Ning immediately thought of the Tang Sect when he thought of Nangong Ming.

"Someone is coming, pass on the concubine maid Xiaoyu." The first way to see whether it is friend or foe is to let that person come out of the shadows.

As soon as he asked people to pass on the people, Tang Ning then called another group of people and asked them to search the bamboo garden where Concubine Ming lived.

I don't know if it's Tang Ning's hunch, she thinks there must be some secret in that place.

Concubine Ming's maid Xiaoyu was quickly brought up, and the person who had been in the bamboo garden all day was suddenly brought up by the guards, and the palace maid was not too flustered, and saluted Tang Ning very politely.

"Are you the maid Xiaoyu next to Concubine Ming?" Tang Ning looked at Xiao Yu, who was dressed in goose yellow clothes, and asked in a cold tone.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it is the slave maid." As Xiaoyu spoke, she had already saluted Tang Ning.

As far as Tang Ning knew, this little fish was the person who had been following Nangong Ming. In a county town, it is really a miraculous thing to be able to cultivate such a down-and-out and generous maid.

"Look at this, what impression do you have?" There were no extra words, Tang Ning directly asked people to take the problematic rouge box to Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu took a closer look at the rouge box, and said to Tang Ning very respectfully, "Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, this rouge box looks like something sent by Concubine Jin to the palaces, and the master of the slave, Concubine Ming, also has a box of similar ones." ”

"Almost?" Tang Ning looked at Xiaoyu, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the difference?" ”

Seeing Tang Ning say this, Xiao Yu sniffed again and said, "Taste." It smells a little different. When the slave maid waited for Concubine Ming to wash, the smell was slightly different from this. ”

"Oh, the difference?" After Tang Ning finished speaking, he asked someone to take another box of rouge, and then asked Xiaoyu again, "You usually smell it, but this?" ”

Xiao Yu took another box of rouge from the palace maid's hand, sniffed it and said, "That's it." ”

"Are you sure?" Tang Ning looked at Xiao Yu with an unfathomable expression.

Seeing Tang Ning like this, Xiao Yu held back the words that he wanted to answer immediately.

Maybe because he wasn't too sure, Xiao Yu said to the palace maid beside him, "Sister, can you give me this box of rouge to sniff again, I haven't smelled it for a long time, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake." ”

The palace maid didn't speak, and handed the rouge in her hand to Xiaoyu again.

Xiao Yu took the rouge in his hand, sniffed it carefully, took a little from the box and licked it to his lips, then looked up at Tang Ning and said with certainty, "This fragrance is indeed the rouge produced by Concubine Jin's mother." ”

"The slave maid has followed Concubine Jin Niangniang to learn rouge production for a few days, although she has not learned Niangniang's skills, but she can recognize that this is indeed something made by Concubine Jin." After tasting the rouge, Xiaoyu was very sure.

Seeing her say this, Tang Ning said in a somewhat questioning tone, "You tasted the rouge before you were sure that it was indeed made by Concubine Jin, and how can you be sure that the box of rouge that you haven't tasted is not." Someone, take the box of rouge and let the little fish taste it. ”

As Tang Ning spoke, he asked people to put the poisonous rouge in front of Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu heard Tang Ning say this, and the expression on his face was suffocated.

But then she regained her composure, as if the change in her expression was just an illusion on the part of someone else.

Xiao Yu heard Tang Ning say this, looked up at her, and did not take the rouge handed by the person next to her, but said to Tang Ning with a smile, "Not every kind of rouge needs to be so sure, the fragrance of these two boxes of rouge is very different, and the slave smells it as soon as she smells it." ”

When Xiaoyu spoke, two small dimples appeared on the side of his mouth, which seemed to be simple and cute.

But through a series of actions, Tang Ning's suspicion of her deepened.

If there is really a big gap between these two boxes of rouge, Concubine Yan will not let the stealing beam change the pillar, her rouge has been replaced, and she will not notice anything.

Tang Ning had always felt that Concubine Yan had a problem before, but now he found out that Concubine Yan was just a disguise, and the real problem was Concubine Ming.

In other words, Concubine Ming is more problematic than Concubine Yan.

Looking at the palace maids beside Xiaoyu, Tang Ning said to them, "Confuse the two boxes together, can you sniff the difference inside?" ”

When the two palace maids saw Tang Ning say this, they immediately lowered their heads and sniffed carefully, but when they looked up, their eyes were a little confused.

Both boxes of rouge have that faint and quiet taste, and there is no difference at all.

"Slaves can't." The two palace maids looked at Tang Ning, because they couldn't smell it, and after reporting to Tang Ning, they turned their eyes to Xiaoyu again. They wondered how the little fish could spot the difference.

Tang Ning looked at Xiao Yu and said coldly again, "This rouge is related to many people's lives, and its authenticity is not sloppy at all." Since you know rouge so well, why don't you try another box as well? ”

As Tang Ning spoke, he motioned to the two palace maids to hand over the poisonous rouge to Xiaoyu.

The palace maid had already handed the rouge to herself, and Xiaoyu couldn't do it even if she didn't want to.

It's just that, holding the rouge that has been opened, Xiaoyu lowered his head and didn't make the next move.

"Why, why don't you taste it. Is this poison? Tang Ning looked at Xiao Yu, and his tone of voice was a little casual.

As soon as Tang Ning said this, Xiao Yu hurriedly explained, "No, it's just ......"

"Just what." Regarding Xiaoyu's explanation, Tang Ning asked step by step.

"It's just ......," Xiao Yu paused and said, "It's just that the slave maid just tasted that box, and now she tastes this, I'm afraid I can't tell the taste." ”

Seeing her say this, Tang Ning sneered in his heart.

As a member of the Tang Sect, Tang Ning naturally knew how powerful this Gu poison was. Once this kind of Gu poison is touched, it will be controlled by it for the rest of its life.

Although the Tang Sect Gu Poison is domineering, there are very few people who can distinguish it.

The little fish doesn't taste it like this, and it clearly knows what's inside.

Since Xiao Yu knew what was in it, Tang Ning was sure that Nangong Ming was very problematic!
