Chapter 217: Tracking
It is said that after Sun Yanling received Sizhen's letter, he was furious, but he did not attack immediately, but called Sun Jinrong to inquire secretly, and checked the ins and outs of the various incense used in the house before going to the old lady's room.
In front of the maids, although Sun Yanling's face was not good-looking, he still bowed down to greet the old lady, and after saluting, he said to himself: "My grandson has something to discuss with my grandmother, please hold back." β
The old lady already knew that Sun Yanling had looked for Sun Jinrong during this time, and guessed the reason for his coming, but she kept things secret, and still ordered her subordinates to serve tea to Sun Yanling as usual, looked at him and said lovingly: "I am so old, I have always been inseparable from people, Mama Liu and Caiyun are reliable, you just say it." β
The corners of Sun Yanling's lips twitched, and he said with a smile: "I'm afraid that this matter can only be said to be known to my grandmother alone, and I'm afraid that it is inappropriate for others to hear it." β
The old lady frowned slightly, her expression was a little solemn, and she said tentatively: "What is so important?" β
Sun Yanling smiled but did not answer.
The old lady waved her hand, and Mama Liu and Caiyun also withdrew.
Sun Yanling looked at Mama Liu and Mama who were retreating, and said softly: "Mama and Sister Caiyun work hard, stay outside, and don't allow anyone to approach that door." Although my ears are sensitive, I have to ask someone to break in and interrupt me from talking to my grandmother. β
Although his voice was gentle, his eyes when he looked at Mama Liu and Caiyun revealed fierceness.
Mama Liu and Caiyun's hearts froze, and they understood that there was another meaning in Sun Yanling's words: if they were trying to eavesdrop, with the ear power of the grandfather, they would be discovered, and it was best to stay away and guard the door.
The two hurriedly responded and respectfully withdrew.
The old lady was a little stunned in her heart, but she thought that she was the old feudal lord of the Sun family, and everything she did was for Sun Yanling and the Sun family, even if she really found out about her, it was impossible to do anything to her, so she smiled and said: "Erlang, what is the matter, you are so cautious?" β
Sun Yanling sat on the chair, drank two sips of tea, and then said lightly: "Ah Zhen encountered something in the capital, can grandmother know?" β
The old lady showed a little surprise just right: "What happened to Ah Zhen in Beijing?" You child, don't swallow and vomit, it's so far away, if you don't tell me, how can our women in the inner house know about the affairs of the capital? Tell me, I'm really in a hurry. β
She saw that Sun Yanling didn't speak, just stared at her, a little flustered, but her face didn't show anything, and she only urged vigorously: "What's the matter, you just say it, don't hide it like this, although my grandmother is old, she can still bear things, what happened to make you so embarrassed?" Is there something that is not easy to publicize, and I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of others when I say it? You can rest assured that no matter what happens, your grandmother will support you. β
Seeing that the old lady said affectionately, Sun Yanling said in a deep voice: "Grandmother knows that Chengze is sick, the high fever does not go away, and no matter how many doctors she has searched, she can't find the cause. β
When the old lady heard this, she suddenly stood up and said eagerly, "How can it be Chengze?" What happened to him? Then the imperial doctor knows the reason, there must be a way to save him, right? β
Sun Yanling's expression showed a little sadness, shook his head and said, "Grandmother, do you know how terrible that incense cup is?" I heard that the insects raised in the incense are not as big as a needle, and when they are heated, they fly into people's noses, and they are born in blood, and they will not stop when the blood is not exhausted and the flesh is not dry, and those who are hit by the incense cup will eventually be exhausted ...... flesh and blood."
The old lady's hands first trembled, and then even the whole person trembled like chaff, and muttered, "How can this be? How so! How did it happen that Cheng Ze ...... No, no, Chengze, it shouldn't be Chengze......"
"Who's that?" Sun Yanling looked at the old lady, "Listening to grandmother's meaning, it seems that she knows what the incense cup is about, who do you think should be allowed to get it?" β
The old lady came back to her senses: "Cheng Ze is fine, right?" You look like this, Cheng Ze must be fine. β
She caressed her heart, as if she wanted to press back the heart that almost jumped out: "I knew that Cheng Zefu had a big life, and he wouldn't just ...... like that" Looking at Sun Yanling's eyes looking at her, the old lady said angrily: "You child, you are so raw, what are you doing to scare your grandmother by saying something?" β
Sun Yanling's voice slowed down, and said word by word: "Sun Er wants to ask grandmother, you said that the incense cup should not be given to Cheng Ze, so who should have gotten it?" β
The old lady forced a smile and said, "How do I know? But thinking that Cheng Ze is a child, it is impossible to offend anyone, and no one will rush to him, most of them are implicated, so he said so. β
Sun Yanling snorted coldly: "Sun Er also thinks the same way, that incense cup came out of the incense that the sixth sister gave to Ah Zhen, the sixth sister is still a hairy girl, what kind of incense cup can you get?" Someone must have tried to harm Ah Zhen by pretending to be her hand...... Grandmother thinks, who wants to harm Ah Zhen? β
"Thisβ" The old lady looked embarrassed, "Who in our house would want to harm Ah Zhen?" Grandmother really couldn't think of it for a while. β
Seeing Sun Yanling looking at her vigorously, the old lady showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, Fang said, "Could it be Aunt Yu?" She was rewarded by the Queen Mother, didn't she say that at that time, the Queen Mother and Ah Zhen were a little wrong, could it be that she did it? When she came out of the palace, she probably knew more about those incense techniques. β
"No matter what the Queen Mother had in mind about Ah Zhen in the past, she has already died, even if Aunt Yu works for the master, is there any need?"
"Thatβ" the old lady hesitated, "doesn't it mean that there is that loyal servant, decades have passed, and he is still avenging the Lord." β
"Ah Zhen has never harmed the Queen Mother, what loyalty does Aunt Yu serve?" Sun Yanling smiled, "Doesn't grandmother have anything else to say?" β
"Hey!" The old lady rubbed her eyebrows, "Grandmother is old, how do you know who you have offended outside and who wants to harm her?" Erlang, you came to tell your grandmother that Chengze was sick, and now he's better, aren't you? I'm a little sleepy because I'm scared by you, okay, I know about it. Go back, you find some reliable people and bring Cheng Ze back, lest someone harm Ah Zhen next time and implicate Cheng Ze, he is the child of our Sun family, you can't let people toss it......"
"Grandmotherβ" Sun Yanling interrupted her, "why don't you ask Ah Zhen if there's anything wrong?" Although she is not surnamed Sun, she is the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, your granddaughter-in-law, don't you care about her at all? β
"Care, care, I naturally care." The old lady said in a panic, "Is she okay?" Thinking about it, it should be fine, and those many doctors in the palace shouldn't be fine......"
"Didn't grandmother expect that the incense cup would come out of the capital? I didn't expect that the imperial doctor in the palace would recognize the incense cup? Sun Yanling stared at the old lady and said.
The old lady's eyes were heavy, and she frowned at Sun Yanling's eyes and asked, "What do you want to say?" β
"Grandmother, do you feel sorry when you hear that Ah Zhen is fine? And then think about what to do next? β
The old lady's brows became more and more furrowed, and she looked at Sun Yanling, revealing a stunned look: "What do you mean, are you suspicious of your grandmother?" β
She was furious: "I know that you love your daughter-in-law, but can you talk nonsense?" Regardless of whether the incense cup is related to Sister Rong'er, when it comes out of her incense, she can't get out of it, I'm afraid that even our family will be implicated, grandmother is still thinking, how to get the Sun family out of this matter, after all, the princess of the family is not a small crime, but you are good, you actually suspect that you are from your own grandmother's head, have you been confused? β
Sun Yanling smiled and raised her eyes to look at the old lady.
Although there was a smile on the corner of his lips, there was no smile in his eyes, but there was coldness and coldness.
The old lady's heart trembled.
"Erlang, you can't talk nonsense, you want outsiders to hear it, but how can you get it?" The old lady's voice softened a little, "Think about it, grandmother only wants you to be good, how can you do that?" Don't listen to other people's provocations and ruin the affection of our ancestors and grandchildren. β
"Huh!" Sun Yanling sneered and said, "Love? Speaking of which, when the master taught me the art of witchcraft, I saw you again, and once said, 'There is a ready-made master at home, but I want to learn from outsiders', and now I think about it, the person he said is you, right? β
"My grandson has asked some elderly people these days, and I found out that you were the daughter of a big toast on the Miaojiang side, and in that clan, you are quite proficient...... My grandson still remembers that when you were young, you used to mix incense, and Aunt Mei's incense was learned from you, right? Then she taught the sixth sister again...... It's just that the grandson doesn't understand, where did Ah Zhen offend you, you hate her so much, you have to ask for her life? β
The old lady was silent, looking at Sun Yanling with a gloomy face.
Sun Yanling asked coldly: "Although Sun Er boldly thought that this matter was related to his grandmother, he couldn't understand why his grandmother did this?" β
When the old lady heard him say this, she knew that Sun Yanling had found out the truth, and it was useless for her to shirk it, but she didn't have the previous panic, but sneered a few times and said, "Oh? Do you know that you are bold enough to think so? Filial piety comes first, for the sake of a woman, you come to question your own grandmother, is this filial piety? Are you going to be disobedient? β
The corners of Sun Yanling's lips hooked slightly, and her voice was even colder: "Regardless of the husband and wife relationship between Sun Er and Ah Zhen, the monarch and the minister's father and son, the loyalty of the monarch and the minister is before the filial piety, Ah Zhen is a princess, a little gentleman, as a courtier, he actually poisoned her, which is much more than the sin of disobedience and unfilial piety." β
He showed a faint smile, but there was some sadness in his smile: "It's just that when you act, there must be a reason, why did grandmother do this?" Grandmother is so old, and she is a person who worships Buddha, and she has always been compassionate, why did she go out of her way to target Ah Zhen and deliberately murder her like this? If you do this just because you don't like her, your grandson really can't believe it, what is your purpose in doing this? Could it be that you are actually the enemy of the Sun family, so you want to bring us this disaster? β
