Tang Nuoyue thought about it back and forth. Instead of setting up so many conspiracies and tricks, it was better to keep it simple. It might seem full of loopholes, but in reality, it was the least likely to arouse suspicion.
Therefore, she picked a time and simply hired someone to secretly hit her on the head.
Once she woke up, she would become smart.
Although it was incredible, this method was indeed not easy to arouse suspicion.
Moreover, she had seen similar situations in unofficial histories and certain books.
On that day, she led her people, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary person, through a small alley. Suddenly, a flower pot fell from above and knocked her unconscious.
Although she was prepared and had styled her hair quite thickly that day, she also skillfully dodged a bit at the moment the flower pot fell.
However, the hit still made her see stars. Because she was prepared in advance, it did not result in a serious injury.
Seeing the situation at that time, the people around her hurriedly carried Tang Nuoyue into a nearby inn.
This was because Prince Yue’s Manor was truly somewhat far from there.
It was not long before Tang Nuoyue woke up and began to become smart.
The people around her were all very surprised. Of course, they were mostly happy.
The group returned to the manor secretly.
They were not aware that this scene had already been seen clearly by Nan Yunchuan, Su Qing, and the others.
“The fool has become better?” Nan Yunchuan narrowed his eyes. “I was originally wondering how to carry this matter forward. Everyone, what do you think now?”
The people present were all clever. Besides Nan Yunchuan and Su Qing, there was also Xiao Jin.
At this time, Shan Ge and Yin Qiu had not yet united with them.
“The matter of the fool becoming smart still needs to be investigated clearly. We must see if she just became smart or if she became smart a long time ago. We must be careful above all else.” Xiao Jin’s scheming was the deepest. “You two are about to return to the palace, so it is certainly inconvenient to do these things. Let me go and test her. It just so happens that my identity is a hostage prince. I have no involvement with others. Appearing by her side will not arouse the suspicion of others at all.”
“Of course, it would be best if I could enter Prince Yue’s Manor. That way, we can observe her at close range. If she has no problems and truly stopped being a fool because of this flower pot, she will be much easier to utilize.”
Xiao Jin’s smile was sinister.
The other two thought this idea was good and both nodded.
After this day, Xiao Jin used some methods and became acquainted with Tang Nuoyue.
This was actually about the same as the original timing of development.
Heaven knows how long Tang Nuoyue endured before she refrained from directly killing Xiao Jin.
She knew Xiao Jin’s scheming was deep. To get along with such a person, she had to be careful.
But for someone like her who had died once and used various reasons to muddle through in the past, Xiao Jin did not suspect anything.
She acted just as she had before, not showing how smart she actually was.
If she were too cautious and did not reveal a single flaw, that is when Xiao Jin would truly suspect her.
Therefore, her performance was about the same as in her previous life.
Although Xiao Jin had many doubts in his heart, he was particularly certain about one point. Although this woman was normal now, her brain was definitely not smart.
To put it bluntly, her brain was dull and she was particularly easy to coax.
Having gained this idea, Xiao Jin intended to utilize Tang Nuoyue.
Little did he know, he fell right into Tang Nuoyue’s hands.
The two of them developed very quickly. After Tang Nuoyue woke up, the entire Imperial City found out.
Naturally, in order to show concern for her elder sister, Tang Guo would summon her into the palace.
Tang Nuoyue was waiting for this very day.
