Chapter 235: Mission
Su Jin stood silently in front of the Buddha statue for a while, and asked coldly, "What are you looking for me?" ”
As her words fell, a gray-clothed monk came out behind the Buddha's squatting, the one who had just fetched water from the edge of the pool.
"Concubine Su, the Queen Mother has something to say, if this mission can be successfully completed, take you back to Beijing, and the eldest lady of the Su family will be at your disposal."
"This mission? What task? ”
Su Jin was a little excited, and at the same time a little scared.
At the beginning, she would become a pawn of Queen Wan, in order to avenge her nominal mother for killing her brother, but now that this wish can be realized, she is naturally excited.
However, Queen Wan's family, who had not contacted her for a long time, had already thought that she had become an outcast, but those people suddenly came up to her, which made her feel a little more doubtful.
At the same time, she was also conjecturing and scrutinizing in her heart.
This person said that she had completed the task, and she could basically guess what the task was, but could they beat the good king? The strength in that man's hands is getting bigger and bigger, and some things may not know the result until the last moment, she wants to stand in line, which side is she going to stand on?
Su Jin still clearly remembers the box of pastries that King Liangwang gave her at the beginning.
That's a hint and a warning.
Why King Liang would spare her life, she still hasn't figured it out, but she is very sure that she has been in the backyard for more than a year, and if she hadn't guarded herself, her bones would have been gone.
The queen's family will act in secret, just to harm Concubine Bai and her son......
"What task?"
Su Jin looked at the monk, this person is not young, but he is doing chores such as carrying water, he should be a newcomer, taking advantage of King Liang's absence in Liangzhou.
I just don't know if Concubine Zhuang's illness is the hand of this person......
In the backyard guest room, Ayu was also thinking about what Doctor Cao Liang said to her in the morning, and the fact that the old lady might have been poisoned made her heart hang all the time.
"Come on, go and invite the five girls of the Gan family in."
After a while, Gan Yingting came over.
She is still the same as always, she looks respectful, her eyes are complex and calm, and her expression is flat, saying that she is Miss Gan, but in front of Concubine Zhuang, she is more like a subordinate.
"Niangniang called me, I don't know what to order?"
Gan Yingting saluted, Ayu pointed to a chair and said, "You've worked hard these days, serving the old lady for so long, I don't know if you have any special discoveries about her condition?" ”
Gan Yingting's heart jumped, and she asked in a low voice, "Is Niangniang suspecting something?" ”
This person is quite sensitive, Ayu smiled lightly, "Fifth girl, don't think about it, I just want to know the relevant situation of this disease and see if I can find a cure." After all, the old lady is unwilling to use medicine now, and if this continues, sooner or later, there will be a day when the lamp will wither. ”
"I told Dr. Cao Liang what I could say before, and Niangniang also knew that the third aunt had not been in a good mood since she was sick, and she usually only cared about chanting Buddha, and didn't let us get close at all."
Gan Yingting's mouth was very tight, and Ayu heard a hint of defense in her words.
"But I heard that you take care of the old lady's diet and daily life on weekdays?"
"Niangniang, even if the third aunt is not happy, I have to do these things, and I can only bite the bullet at those times."
"That's really hard for you."
Ah Yu smiled, and after a while, he let people go, and then called the seventh lady of the Gan family in.
Miss Gan Jiaqi and Gan Yingting are completely a contrast, she has been here for so long and has not done anything, and now she knows that she is going back, her face is full of smiles, and she complains that she can't eat meat when she stays here, she has no strength all day long, she just wants to sleep.
Seeing her like this, Ayu asked the maid to bring two plates of pastries brought from the house to her.
Gan Yumeng left happily, and his temperament was completely like a child who had not grown up.
In the next time, Ayu called all the people around Concubine Zhuang over and asked about it, and everyone saw it without doubt, except that Gan Yingting made her feel a little restrained.
"Niangniang, why don't I go to the fifth lady's room tonight."
Banzhi wanted to see if he could find some clues, and Ayu also nodded, "As long as you don't startle the snake, it's good to take a look." ”
"Rest assured, slaves and maids have their own methods."
Well, this reminded Ayu of when she was in the rabbit garden, and this person also came to search her room.
Whether the old lady was poisoned or not had to be investigated, but now Ayu also felt uneasy when she stayed in the temple, so she sent two guards to the mansion to spread the word, and arranged for two teams of people to come over, and directly surrounded the temple.
In this way, she felt a little more at ease, and she didn't plan to go out for dinner at night.
She will bring all her things and cooks when she travels, she will not use things outside at all, and naturally she will not use the food in the temple, and even bring her own water.
There are more than a dozen guest rooms in the backyard of the temple, and the middle is the hall, where Concubine Zhuang lives on the left, Ayu lives on the right, and next to her is Concubine Su and Concubine Han, and several people from the Gan family live on the side of Concubine Zhuang.
Before the meal, Ayu sent someone to talk to the two wives of the Gan family, informing them that they were feeling unwell, so they didn't go to the hall to eat and let them go to their own devices.
She didn't go out, and Han Su and the two people next to her didn't plan to go out.
One person was bored, thinking that the food in the temple was too unpalatable, while Su Jin was soulless, sitting under the window and staring at the dark night.
"Mother? Mother, it's time to eat. ”
Zhu Zhu shook Su Jin gently, and when she came back to her senses, she pointed to the food that had been put on the table.
"Rice?"
Su Jin was stunned, gently tightened the paper bag that had been pinching in his hand, shook his head at Zhuzhu and said, "No, follow me next door first, I still have some things to do." ”
Su Jin said that he had already walked out.
Zhuzhu chased behind, and the two walked quickly to the door next door, and Xiangping, who was on an errand outside, saw that it was Concubine Su, and saluted, "Is there something wrong with Concubine Niang?" ”
Su Jin said with a smile, "There is no tea in the room, and my mother-in-law has not returned from going out, so I want to ask Sister Bai for tea to drink." ”
There is more than one subordinate around him, how can there be no tea to drink.
Xiangping heard what she said, and replied, "Niangniang wait for a while, and I will return to Niangniang first." ”
Xiangping went in as she spoke, and turned out again after a while.
"Concubine Niangniang, please."
"Hmm."
Su Fang took a deep breath, stopped Zhuzhu who wanted to follow her inside, and went to the room alone.
In the room, Ayu was preparing to eat, and Concubine Su came, so she asked her to take the dishes down and warm them for the time being, and look at them later.
"Sister Bai, I want to take a step to speak."
Ayu was stunned, today this is the second person to borrow a step to talk to her.
She looked at the people in the room and waved away a few who had left Banzhi and Xianglan.
"If my sister has something to say, just say it."
Ayu didn't feel very good, she always felt that something was going to happen, and Aqiu next to her was even more uplifted.
He felt that this Concubine Su was very anxious, very afraid, very panicked, and the beating heart seemed to rush out of his chest.
