Chapter 429: Grandmother
Lin Zuiliu knew that something was wrong, this little guy was too strange to let him go easily. So he ordered someone to tie up the little guy and keep him under strict guard. Then let Edong go with him to the old lady's yard to see what was going on. If there is a trap, you have to see the trick at any time.
"Edon, do you recognize that man?" On the way, Lin Zuiliu wanted to grasp the situation as much as possible, and hurriedly asked Yidong.
"Back to the princess, I know, this little guy was only accepted into the mansion a few days ago, and there was a shortage of people in our yard at that time, so I also went to pick people. Seeing that this little guy was picked by the old lady's yard, he used to be a sprinkler and sweep the little guy. Because this little guy looked very clever in the crowd, I paid more attention to it. ”
Yi Dong said as he recalled the scene when he saw that little guy before.
Lin Zuiliu thought for a while, and muttered: "There must be something hidden in this matter today, I don't have a good relationship with the old lady, why don't you call me over if I'm sick, I'm afraid I'm tired?" For such a big matter, the prince is not in the house, and if there is any problem with my grandmother, I will not be able to eat and walk around. I don't know if this was the old lady's instructions, or if someone was obstructing it. ”
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the old lady's courtyard. There is a housekeeper in the old lady's house, who is the old lady's dowry maid, and has been by the old lady's side for many years, which can be said to be loyal.
Liao Luan also has deep feelings for her.
Except for this Aunt Yun, who is the aunt in charge, the big and small affairs in the old lady's house are all in charge of this Aunt Yun. Lin Zuiliu had no contact with her.
I don't know who is responsible for tonight's incident, if the old lady is really sick, and someone hides it and doesn't report it, it must be these two people.
As soon as he stepped into the old lady's yard, Lin Zuiliu felt that something was wrong, there were no guards at the door, and no one was walking around in the yard. It's quiet, but the room is lit up, and through the window paper, you can see the figure of a person, and you are constantly walking around.
"Grandmother, Liu'er has come to see you," Lin Zuiliu said towards the house.
Hearing the movement in the yard, a little maid in the house hurriedly opened the curtains. Seeing Lin Zuiliu standing in the courtyard, he was busy and said, "Say hello to the princess." ”
"No need to be polite." Lin Zuiliu walked into the house with Yidong quickly. She quickly walked around the hall and into the inner room, and several little maids walked back and forth, and when they saw her, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted. Seeing their busy appearance, maybe the old lady is really sick.
Walking into the inner room, there was a strong smell of medicine in the room, all the windows were closed, and the air was really not good. I saw the old lady lying on the bed weakly, in a state of sleep, Mama Li was standing by the bed, and Aunt Yun was feeding the medicine to the old lady's mouth little by little with a spoon.
"What's going on? Why did my grandmother fall unconscious? Lin Zuiliu saw that the situation was not good, and this old lady was too sick. is already in a coma, definitely not a matter of a moment, thinking of the palace of Nuoda, the old lady fell ill and no one came to report to him, and his heart was cold.
It seems that she still has to use some means to really take charge of this palace, in the past, she would not interfere in the affairs of the old lady's courtyard, but she never thought that people would be so bold.
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Lin Zuiliu immediately made a decision and shouted: "Come on, take down everyone in the old lady's courtyard and tie them up in the courtyard!" ”
Yi Dong has always been clever, and he ran away quickly, so that the palace guards surrounded the courtyard, and none of them could escape.
"Princess, this is the old lady's courtyard, we are all old lady's people, I can't allow you to take it if you say it." Aunt Yun put down the medicine bowl unhurriedly, stood up and said to Lin Zuiliu.
Lin Zuiliu looked at Aunt Yun and thought to herself that this Aunt Yun was really a wonderful person. She was dressed in a white Luo Qun, with a moon-white belt tied around her waist, and she looked exquisite.
The face is extremely elegant, a little powder, and she really has a little fairy temperament, I don't know, I think she is a master.
But to Lin Zuiliu's surprise, this Aunt Yun looked very young, maybe only in her early twenties. But on second thought, this is normal.
Many maids from high-ranking families will find someone to marry and leave the house at the age of seventeen or eighteen, or they will stay with their master and serve all the time, and they will never marry.
Come to think of it, this Aunt Yun just missed the age of marriage and stayed in the mansion.
"Oh? I've never heard of the rules that the housewife can't deal with the people in the house, I don't know where Aunt Yun learned it? So unorthodox! ”
Lin Zuiliu's words were ruthless and resolute, and the slave who dared to climb to the master's head, she had to be cured.
"This Zhennan Wangfu is the mansion of the prince, and it has always been run by the old lady in the past, and we subordinates also have a bit of face, even the prince will not dispose of us at will."
In the face of Lin Zuiliu's scolding, this Aunt Yun didn't change her face, and said as if drinking tea and chatting.
Lin Zuiliu was sure that this was the least fuel-efficient lamp in the old lady's courtyard. Today's is inseparable from her. Lin Zuiliu snorted coldly: "Okay, then tie you up until the prince comes back to see if he will deal with you." ”
After that, he asked the guards to tie her down, and for a time the old lady's courtyard was already full of people.
"Tell people to take care of them, no one is allowed to speak, to prevent them from communicating in private, I will first see my grandmother's illness, and then I will fix them." Lin Zuiliu instructed to Dongdao.
Yi Dong silently exited the inner room and arranged to go. Lin Zuiliu sat on the side of the old lady's bed to observe her situation, touched the old lady's forehead with her hand, and had a slight fever, it should not be a high fever, it may have been a low-grade fever that lasted for a long time before she fell unconscious.
Lin Zuiliu lifted the brocade quilt on the old lady's body. The first thing she wanted to do was to find out if the old lady was also infected with shingles.
After checking it, Lin Zuiliu's heart sank, and sure enough, a large rash began to appear on the old lady's waist, but now the area is still small, and it should not be life-threatening if it is treated properly.
Lin Zuiliu got up and changed into a new cloth towel, carefully wiped the sweat beads from her face, and then put it on the old lady's forehead.
The virus came very quickly, and the old lady was naturally not as resistant as the young one when she was old. It is very susceptible to infection, and it is imperative to prescribe the right medicine to control the disease.
Lin Zuiliu hurriedly ordered someone to invite Si Chen, and asked his subordinates to open all the windows of the old lady's house for ventilation, and spray vinegar in the house for disinfection.
After all the measures are done, let Si Chen take care of the old lady on her behalf, and she must first figure out what is going on today.
Yi Dong brought a Taishi chair for her and put it at the door of the house, Lin Zuiliu sat down generously and instructed Yi Dong: "Send someone to the palace to inquire about the situation of the prince, give the prince a message, and let him return to the house quickly." "Yi Dong hurriedly retreated.
Lin Zuiliu sat on the chair leisurely, and the people were tied in the yard, all of them looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't dare to look up at her.
They don't know what this princess will do to them. In this way, most of the hours passed in anxiety, and Lin Zuiliu was still leisurely drinking tea without saying a word.
The people below were all suspicious, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the princess's gourd, and at this moment, a little maid couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice.
Lin Zuiliu hurriedly seized this opportunity and said slowly: "Who is crying? Look up and tell me to look. ”
No one at the bottom dared to move, Lin Zuiliu twisted his already tired waist, and as soon as he moved, a little girl below cried and said: "The princess forgives me, the slave didn't mean to bump into you." ”
"It's okay, come here, untie her." Lin Zuiliu changed his posture, but he still sat firmly on the Taishi chair.
I saw this little girl trembling and stepping forward, and by the faint light in the yard, Lin Zuiliu saw clearly that this little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her expression was submissive, and there were tears on her face.
"What's your name?" Lin Zuiliu asked.
"Back to the princess, the slave is called Caiyun. It's a second-class girl in the old lady's room. This little girl spoke with a trilling voice in front of Lin Zuiliu,
"Then why are you crying?" Lin Zuiliu put down the teacup in his hand and asked.
"Slave... The slave knows that she is wrong..."The cloud in front of her knelt down with a thud and said with a crying voice. This made Lin Zuiliu flutter for a moment, and just asked this little girl a few words, why was she scared like this?
So she slowly got up from the Taishi chair, walked to the little girl, gently lifted her chin with two fingers, let the little girl see her face clearly, and asked her softly, "Am I so scary?" ”
The little girl's body trembled like chaff, and she didn't dare to reply. For fear that Lin Zuiliu would be unhappy and dispose of her.
At the same time, she reflexively closed her eyes tightly, as if she had been in this situation often. A posture ready to be beaten.
Lin Zuiliu saw that she couldn't answer half a sentence, raised her head and said, "Tell me, is this princess scary?" As soon as these words came out, the people kneeling below were all trembling.
Only Aunt Yun was still with a breezy expression.
There must be something strange about this, she doesn't have any contact with the people in the old lady's yard on weekdays. Since marrying into the palace, she has always been kind to her subordinates, and her reputation should be good, but why are the people in this courtyard so afraid of her? Could it be that each of them has a ghost in his heart? Or is someone deliberately spreading rumors behind her back and smearing her?
"Mama Li, get up and talk back." Lin Zuiliu asked as he sat back in the Taishi chair.
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately went to untie Mama Li, and Mama Li stood up with difficulty and tidied up her clothes.
After all, she is the oldest person in this palace. He is also the most powerful person around the old lady. Mama Li can be said to be the most decent among the people in the palace, and she also cares most about her reputation and face.
Just when Mama Li was tidying up her skirt, Lin Zuiliu keenly grasped a small detail, she saw Mama Li secretly looking at Aunt Yun, her face was embarrassed, and a trace of sadness flashed on her face.
