The cuckoo also stared, following Su Lian's movements, and when he heard Qingyi's words, he slapped a hand directly on his forehead, and he didn't know what to say.

"In this harem, there are many things that are ruthless and unjust, and there will be other concubines in the future of the Third Highness, how can the queen care about this one. Aunt Su was pregnant with this child at the beginning, but it was just to take the credit of His Majesty's first imperial grandson. ”

"Anyway, I've already said it so completely, it's none of my business whether you believe it or not. The slave maid is benevolent and righteous, since Aunt Su is willing to stay, the slave and maid should go back to the palace first, I only hope that the slave maid's actions today will not be discovered by the queen. ”

As he spoke, the cuckoo pursed his mouth and turned around, really looking like he was going out, but the corner of his eye was still paying attention to the back.

Qingyi was skeptical, but I was afraid that Su Lian had already taken it to heart, Su Lian took her hand with one hand, kept shedding tears, and shook her head.

"Qingyi, there is no need to say any more, I know, thank you for coming and telling us, then let's go quickly, Your Highness ......"

"So don't worry, the slave maid over there of the Third Highness will go and inform him." The cuckoo nodded again and again, and followed over to help Su Lian to walk out, happy as if she was the one who escaped.

At this time, the heavy snow outside had passed its worst time, Xu Rulie stared at the sky outside for a long time, and finally waited until now the wind and snow stopped, and the sun on the horizon was gradually ready to lie down behind the West Mountain to rest.

"Huh." Xu Rulie sighed, hurried to say goodbye to the queen, and hurried back to the house in a carriage, Huang He was also worried that it would be unsafe for him to walk at night if it dragged on any longer, so he agreed.

And in Xu Rulie's mansion, Du Juan had just persuaded Su Lian to believe his words, and there was indeed a carriage parked there at the door, but it was only for herself. From Su Lian's yard all the way to the door, you have to pass at least a garden and a front yard.

The cuckoo has been here many times, and it is very clear that especially in such a cold time, the people in the house must stay in their rooms and be lazy, and no one in the garden will see it, which is the best time to start.

Thinking so, the cuckoo supported Su Lian, who had a big belly, with both hands, and the three of them were about to descend the stairs from the corridor of the garden, while she was observing the surrounding situation, she planned to stretch out her feet to trip Su Lian.

If this time she can dislocate Su Lian's fetus and kill both mother and child, that is the result she wants to see the most.

However, there was no need for the cuckoo to do it, and there were only four or five steps under the corridor, and a thick layer of frost had accumulated on the steps because of the wind and snow just now.

Because of the child in her belly, Su Lian's center of gravity was unstable, and she accidentally slipped when she stepped on the second step, and she didn't even step on the back foot, and directly pushed Qingyi down from the side and rolled herself down from the steps.

Fortunately, Du Juan let go of his hand one step earlier, and now he doesn't have to do it himself at all, and he can watch Su Lian have an accident, why not.

"Hahaha."

"Ah——!h Su Lian's face was pale with pain, and the grizzly bear cloak she was wearing was also wet with snow and water, and she covered her stomach and wailed, coupled with the laughter of the cuckoo on the side, it sounded particularly harsh in this empty snowfield.

Qingyi had just been pushed by Su Lian's head and smashed on the railing on the side, just when she was dizzy, she was so dizzy that she could easily get up, and her staggering steps were almost unsteady, so she rushed to take care of Su Lian's situation.

"Miss, Miss, how are you? Miss, bear with me. You-"

The cuckoo's laughter sounded particularly obvious in this corridor, and Qingyi hurriedly helped Su Lian pull the cloak, trying to help the person up, and then turned his head and glared at the cuckoo viciously.

The cuckoo didn't say a word, cautiously descended the steps, grabbed Qingyi's hair directly, and slammed into the tree pole on the side.

As the so-called once born and twice ripe, Du Juan's plan today was originally just to kill the child in Su Lian's belly, and it was not enough to really ask for Su Lian's life if she was bloodied or injured, she was still scared when she was in the palace, but now to deal with Qingyi, she seems to have inexhaustible strength.

"What are you, if you want to blame, I can only blame you for blocking my way."

The cuckoo's strength was very heavy, and he directly hit Qingyi's head on the trunk of the tree and bleed, the whole person was dizzy and fell on the snow, and the cuckoo let go again, and there were several hairs that were accidentally torn off between his fingers.

"Ha-" Su Lian was so frightened by this scene that her whole body was cold, and she wanted to prop herself on the ground and take a few steps back, but the cloak was too heavy, and there was no room for it to retreat at all.

Su Lian just fell down the stairs, although the fall was not light, but fortunately, the stairs were not very high, and they were protected by snowflakes and cloaks on the ground, so Su Lian just felt a little frightened and uncomfortable.

And after the cuckoo dealt with Qingyi, he also found that Su Lian's condition was much better than he imagined, and he immediately twisted his brows, looked left and right, and broke off a bamboo pole on the nearby green bamboo, pinched the sharp end, and wanted to get closer to Su Lian.

"I originally wanted to rely on the will of heaven to make you walk more comfortably, but now, it seems that even if I don't want to do it, you can't live."

"Ahh Su Lian screamed in fright, and one hand was in front of her eyes in a panic, and the cuckoo simply took her hand and dragged the person all the way to the pond in front.

Then the cuckoo stepped over Su Lian and pointed the bamboo pole directly at her eyes.

"Heh, I want to give birth to the child of the Third Highness, and I will have such a dream again in the next life!"

The cuckoo sneered, but it wasn't much nonsense, and he raised his hand high, seeing that it was about to slash from Su Lian's eyes to his neck.

Xu Rulie came very timely at this time, he got out of the carriage, noticed that there was a carriage from the palace parked here at the door, and instantly sensed that something was not quite right, and rushed directly in the direction of Su Lian's courtyard, and caught up with the scene where Du Juan wanted to attack Su Lian.

"Stop!" Xu Rulie shouted, and took advantage of the moment when the cuckoo was stunned when he heard the sound, took off the hairpin on his head, and pierced it straight to the cuckoo's temple.

Although he is arrogant in his life, he has never been so arrogant as to kill people, and today he is really angry, so as soon as he makes a move, he is dead.

The cuckoo was taken aback, but fortunately, Xu Rulie's position was far away, and as soon as she lowered her head, she barely dodged this attack. Then Xu Rulie took advantage of the cuckoo's fright, flew over from the rockery by the pond with light skills, and kicked the cuckoo to the side.

"How are you?"

Xu Rulie's distressed eyes were red, and he hurriedly hugged Su Lian in his arms to comfort him. Su Lian also cried silently, grabbed Xu Rulie's sleeve tightly with both hands, and kept shaking her head and sighing.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you're here! The queen mother wants to attack our mother and son, Qingyi has been killed by the cuckoo just now, Your Highness, you take me away, let's get out of here, okay? ”

"What?!" Xu Rulie was taken aback, he really couldn't believe that his mother would do such a thing.

But at the beginning, Du Juan reminded himself that the queen had plans to go to her mother and keep her son, and it was really difficult for Xu Rulie not to think about it because the queen dragged herself in the palace for a day so strangely today.

Xu Rulie's thoughts in his mind turned quickly, and he believed it in an instant, and hurriedly pulled Su Lian up.

"Okay, let's go."

Because there was a burden that Du Juan had to deceive Su Lian when he left, Xu Rulie didn't have to prepare any more luggage, so he took Su Lian to his study and took all the silver tickets and some jade that he usually kept.

Then, when passing by the garden, Xu Rulie's eyes flicked and he noticed the cuckoo that had just woken up and struggled to get up from the ground.

Xu Rulie's kick just now was too hard, so that Du Juan only regained consciousness now. Qingyi's body was also nearby, but there was really no chance to take it with him, so Xu Rulie thought about tying up the cuckoo as well, and he had to ask her about today's matter.

"Let's go." Xu Rulie said in a suppressed voice, especially chose to sit in the carriage that the cuckoo came over, and several people hurried to the city gate.

Xu Rulie still remembered that Xiao Huai'an should be near the West City Gate when he was investigating the case outside, so he specially picked the South City Gate to go out.

As long as you leave here before the city gate closes today, the town and scenery in the south have always been good, and you don't have to worry about being found out by the people of the palace if you hide in some deep mountain forest.

In the car, the cuckoo was tied hand and foot, gagged, and thrown on the seat on the side at will, Su Lian was scared when she saw her, and moved closer to Xu Rulie. The wet grizzly bear cloak on her body has been replaced with the rabbit fur cloak that Xu Rulie gave him at the beginning of spring this year.

Outside the carriage, it was Xu Rulie's most trusted little guy driving the carriage, Xu Rulie put one hand around Su Lian, and his eyes were constantly paying attention to the situation outside, and he did not shy away from being in front of the cuckoo, glaring at the boss of the cuckoo's angry eyes as if he was looking at the enemy.

The carriage took a shortcut and came to the south gate from a convenient path in the city.

But unfortunately, in addition to being in charge of investigating the case, Xiao Huai'an has also come to visit Taiwei and Jing Zhaoyin from time to time in the past few days, and naturally he has to inspect and greet people at various city gates.

When the guards at the south gate checked Xu Rulie's carriage, Xiao Huai'an's voice happened to be not far away.

The guards were all low-level soldiers, so they hadn't seen Xu Rulie much, but they felt that the carriage and the cuckoo tied inside were a little strange, so they turned their heads and asked Xiao Huai'an.
