Chapter 178: Leaving the palace to inquire
Empress Dowager Tong felt that it made sense, so she agreed to Grandma Sun's proposal.
It's useless to speculate after all, it's better to go out of the palace directly to find out the matter clearly.
The tassel garden in Baifu was silent a lot because Bai Suxin was sick.
Qianqiu stayed by the bedside and personally served tea and water to take care of Bai Suxin.
"Girl, is it really worth it?" Asaka couldn't help frowning and asked.
It was hard for her to see the girl poison herself, and to see her suffering.
Bai Suxin smiled a little tiredly and shook his head, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.
When she "fell ill", her stepmother hurriedly invited a doctor to come for treatment.
The poison she used originated in Liangzhou, and she got it by chance when her father was an official there, so most of the doctors in the capital had never seen it.
However, if they see the imperial doctors in the palace, they will definitely be able to see through it at a glance.
Qi Tong saw the clues of Bai Suxin's illness, and did not directly puncture it, but cooperated with Bai Suxin to act.
It was precisely because of Qi Tong's help that Bai Suxin was able to quietly "recuperate" in the Tassel Garden.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the second lunar month, and the grandmother Sun beside the Empress Dowager Tong went out of the palace to buy as usual.
Of course, this time she also took the task of inquiring about the prince of Zhennan and Li Jia.
The rumors have been spread in the capital for so many days, as if they are like divine help.
At first, it was only known to the back house of the high gate, but now it is known to everyone.
Even the idle women and children in the streets discussed their affairs.
Therefore, Mama Sun doesn't need to find someone to inquire deliberately, just walking on the street, you can hear endless news.
"Have you heard about the matter between the prince of Zhennan and the Li cousin girl of the Bai family?"
"Who doesn't know about it now."
"Alas, it's just that although the two are in love, they can't be together, it's really a pity."
Several passers-by discussed this and quickly stopped.
Besides, we have to mention the people in the palace, they can't afford to mess with them.
Grandma Sun heard these words, but she didn't believe them very much.
It's just rumors, how much is true and how much is false, who can figure it out?
But out of prudence, she still carefully approached a few people and inquired about the matter.
When inquiring about the rumors, Mama Sun did not forget to ask about Miss Bai San's current situation, only to know that everyone was talking about Miss Bai San and she was scared when she saw the Queen Mother.
Mama Sun asked a reliable person to investigate, only to know that Miss Bai San had a cold and had been recuperating.
Just as Mama Sun was hesitating to tell the Queen Mother about the third girl Bai, a familiar figure suddenly came to her.
Mama Sun was stunned and said in surprise: "It's you?" ”
The man was dressed in black and wore a hat, and Mama Sun could recognize him, which was enough to show that the two were extremely familiar.
"If Mama is free, it is better to enjoy your face and get together in the teahouse in front of you."
After saying that, the man disappeared in front of Grandma Sun's eyes.
Grandma Sun collected her thoughts and walked quickly to the teahouse.
Even as the queen mother's confidant, being watched when she leaves the palace, she has always been cautious, and she is most afraid of making mistakes.
But this person, she had to meet.
Mama Sun walked into the teahouse, and Xiao Er hurriedly came over to greet her: "The guest officer is here to drink tea, and there is still a private room on the second floor." ”
Grandma Sun nodded and went upstairs with Xiao Er.
After entering the private room, she quietly ordered tea, and only after Xiao Er left, did she speak: "Come out." ”
The man in black walked out from behind the screen with light steps, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mama still remembers me." ”
A smile appeared on Mama Sun's face and said, "The general said he was smiling." ”
The man in black took off the hat on his head, and suddenly a grim face came into view.
This person is indeed Tuoba Yi.
Mama Sun asked a little nervously, "Why is the general looking for me today?" ”
She has been in the palace for many years, and the only thing she has to do is her only son left by her late brother.
A few years ago, in the rebellion of the Four Princes, her nephew was involved and almost became a victim.
She was already hopeless, but she didn't expect that General Tuoba would rescue her nephew and include him in the Xifu army.
Just for these, Grandma Sun has endless gratitude to Tuoba Yi.
At that time, Mama Sun thought that if General Tuoba needed it one day, it would be worth it for her to risk her life.
The corners of Tuoba Yi's mouth rose slightly, and said: "Mama is too worried, it's not a dangerous thing, I just want Mama to say a few words in front of the Queen Mother." ”
Grandma Sun clasped her hands tightly together and asked, "What does General Tuoba want me to say?" ”
"Tell the Queen Mother that Miss Bai San has always been weak and deserves the Queen Mother's marriage."
Mama Sun was a little surprised, she didn't understand why the dignified general of the Xifu Army came to meddle in the affairs of a little girl.
"What does General Tuoba mean?"
"Mama doesn't know that Miss Bai San has a good relationship with Lile. This white third girl has a wild temperament and has always been used to freedom, but because she was worried about being assigned to marriage, she was scared sick. Mama thinks that if such a person marries into the royal family, is it really a good thing? Tuoba explained softly.
Grandma Sun smiled faintly and said, "General Tuoba doesn't have to be like this, since I am a friend of the general, I think I want to help." Besides, at this time, it is not considered to be doing anything against my will, but it is just for me to tell the Queen Mother the truth about what I have heard. ”
Tuoba Yi also trusted Grandma Sun, so he said: "Then Grandma use it slowly, I'll leave first." ”
Looking at the back of Tuoba Yi who was about to leave, Grandma Sun opened her mouth, but she never spoke.
Tuoba Yi suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, don't worry, Sun Qi is all right now." ”
"General Law takes care of it."
Tuoba didn't stay any longer, and strode away from the back window of the teahouse.
Mama Sun cleaned up her mood, drank the tea and slowly walked out of the teahouse.
Even if someone was watching, she asked herself if she had done anything out of bounds.
Coming to the teahouse to drink tea is nothing at all, and the people who spy on her don't take it to heart at all.
As for seeing Tuoba Yi, it is difficult for the people who monitor it to notice.
With Tuoba Yi's skills, if he didn't deliberately show himself, he wouldn't have been discovered.
After Mama Sun returned to the palace, she spread the love between the prince of Zhennan and Li Jia, the cousin of the Bai family, who had been spread in the capital, to the ears of the Empress Dowager Tong.
The Empress Dowager Tong was emotional for a moment when she heard this, and tears began to flicker in her eyes.
Grandma Sun whispered a little uneasily: "Queen Mother-"
Empress Dowager Tong slowly came back to her senses, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed: "It's just that what about the three girls of the Bai family, it's really good for the mourning family to see her." ”
Only then did Mama Sun find the right time and said, "Regarding Miss Bai San, the slave maid also inquired about some ......."
Seeing that Grandma Sun wanted to speak like this, Empress Dowager Tong glanced at her and said solemnly: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
"Yes," Grandma Sun folded her hands in her lower abdomen one after the other, bowed down and said: "Miss Bai San has been ill since she met the Queen Mother that day and has been sick since she went back, and there are rumors that she was scared of illness......"
