Chapter 326: The Tomb of the Unknown
It is said that people are going to die, and their words are good, but Cuckoo seems to be an exception here. Xu Rulie frowned deeply, almost disgusted, he really planned to end the life of the cuckoo directly with the dagger, after all, Su Jiao couldn't bear it, and hurriedly grabbed Xu Rulie's hand.
"Forget it, Your Highness, fortunately, nothing major happened to me, and now I finally figured it out, who wants to harm our mother and son, let's hurry up and get out of here, just let her go."
That's not bad, if the cuckoo is left alive, it will be a scourge to keep it, and it will be troublesome, and if it is killed in place here, it is also a problem to dispose of the corpse.
Xu Rulie thought for a moment, turned the dagger into a flower, and the knots tied to the cuckoo's hands and feet were untied.
Anyway, even if she lets go of the cuckoo and she goes back to the palace, the queen will never let her go, and she will save herself from blood on her hands, so it can be regarded as a letter to let the cuckoo go back and inform the queen that she has left.
As soon as Du Juan's hand was loosened, she almost didn't realize that she had loosened the tie, she thought that Xu Rulie was moved by herself, and quickly sat up, but heard Xu Rulie's more cold words.
"Okay, I can let you go, but only if you have a life and live to see us again."
Xu Rulie said coldly, taking advantage of the fact that the cuckoo was not paying attention, a hand pushed her shoulder. The door behind the carriage was loose, and it opened as soon as something hit it.
The cuckoo was caught off guard, and when he reacted, he was already very embarrassed and fell into the snow, rolling several times in a row, stained with snow water and sludge.
"Your Highness——!"
It was easy to struggle, and got up from the snow-covered ground in an unknown place, and the cuckoo shouted heartbreakingly into the distance, but Xu Rulie's carriage had already turned from behind the hillside and disappeared completely.
The coldness of the night outside the northern style, especially the cold wind that rolls a few snowflakes from time to time, is like a sharp blade that cannot see the shadow, slashing across the face.
The desire to stay by Xu Rulie's side can be regarded as shattered, Du Juan squeezed her frozen red hands tightly, and her whole body trembled coldly, but the resentment in her heart exceeded all this.
She stared at the rutted mark that stretched into the distance, her thoughts spinning rapidly, muttering in a voice that only she could hear.
"I'll make you regret it, you will."
In the capital, Xiao Huai'an ended all the running outside, and as soon as he returned to the house, Su Jiao prepared the stove and hot water early.
The candles placed on both sides of the desk also shimmered with a warm glow, and the aroma of kumquat on the plate in front of it stained the whole room as if it had come to spring.
Su Jiao's physical fitness is good, although she is not very afraid of the cold, but she also likes this warm and soft feeling, in order to wait for Xiao Huai'an, she endured the sleepiness and did not go to the bed to rest, just wrapped in several fur blankets, shrunk down on the small couch to nap.
As soon as she heard the sound of Xiao Huai'an coming back at the door, Su Jiao just narrowed her eyes, said hello to Xiao Huai'an, and closed her eyes again.
"You're back."
Xiao Huai'an walked to the stove and rubbed his hands, seeing Su Jiao's lazy posture like a cat, he couldn't help but laugh, and while Su Jiao was napping, he approached lightly.
Hibiscus suddenly saw that something was wrong, but when it was too late, it was too fast, and her movements were a step slower after all.
When a lump of ice falls into the warm space, the hibiscus seems to hear the faint hissing sound.
The heroine was even more startled, the whole person was like a frightened bird, sat up from the couch, looked at Xiao Huai'an with a wicked smile in front of her, and was completely angry, waving her hands and slapping his arm indiscriminately.
"What for? When people sleep, don't bother me, who do you learn from, if you don't learn from the good and learn the bad, next time you dare to do this, I won't prepare a stove for you. ”
Xiao Huai'an hurriedly withdrew his hand, couldn't help but sit beside her, and hugged Su Jiao's shoulder. Mu Hibiscus also said deeply that he didn't see it, and pulled Mu Rong and the two of them went to make tea with their eyes.
"If not, I'm afraid you won't wake up, don't be angry, I have something to tell you, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have time tomorrow."
Hearing this, Su Jiao blocked her throat in one breath, but seeing that Xiao Huai'an didn't look like a joke, she was a little interested, and sat cross-legged to tidy up the blanket covering her legs.
Seeing this, Xiao Huai'an first stretched out his hand to help Su Jiao rub her face. "If you continue to sleep, I'm afraid that your face will be smoked, and tomorrow you will shout that winter is not good."
"To make a long story short, the result of today's incident has come down, after all, Yu Ban is in front of the evil, and there is no evidence that specifically points to him, so His Majesty just punished him with a small punishment and ordered him to guard the mausoleum."
"The mausoleum in the west is not a royal mausoleum, but when His Majesty conquered Nankang, those generals who were defeated and thought they had backbone, were usually punished to guard the mausoleum over there, in addition to degrading officials, it also represented ridicule."
"That's it, it's really cheap for him." Su Jiao pursed her mouth, her face full of visible unhappiness. "But it doesn't matter, it's all over anyway, I don't mind, what I have is patience, sooner or later they will taste the consequences."
"You mean really?" Su Jiao's chin was raised, and her self-consoling appearance made Xiao Huai'an deeply suspicious.
Listening, Su Jiao's eyes subconsciously moved downward, and she couldn't help but sigh when she looked at Xiao Huai'an's scrutinizing gaze.
"Well, no, I hate to plant a few mines for him on his way. However, I remember that the mountain range where the mausoleum is located in the west seems to be on the same line as the royal mausoleum, although the direction is different, but this location is still quite interesting. ”
When the words landed, Xiao Huaian also thought about it carefully, but shook his head approvingly.
"No matter where the site is chosen, who can guarantee that such a coincidence will be deliberately created on the same mountain range as the royal mausoleum, in addition to the western mausoleum, there are also ordinary people's tomb mountains, so in fact, there is no need to be too particular."
"It's the only one on that tomb hill that really can't be put down, and the nameless grave that has been moved over doesn't know whose it is, and it doesn't have a clear name, so only His Majesty can know it."
"Tomb Mountain? What a familiar name. Su Jiao nodded, but Xiao Huai'an mentioned that there was an unknown mound on it, according to the filming experience of watching and personally experiencing film and television dramas for many years, it instantly made a brain hole in her mind.
"That nameless tomb, how could Your Majesty care so much about moving her tomb? Do you think it's possible、Your ......"
For a while, her mouth was faster than her brain, and when Su Jiao came back to her senses, her voice became smaller and smaller, but Xiao Huaian also understood what she meant, just glanced at it lightly, and did not react much.
"You are wrong about this, when my mother jumped from the city tower, His Majesty was still in the military camp in Daze, and there was no chance to find the bones, even if he could find it, he should be buried in Nankang."
"That's right." Fortunately, Xiao Huai'an was not angry, and Su Jiao hurriedly quietly looked away, so as to avoid saying anything heart-wrenching.
However, Xiao Huai settled down for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said lightly. "If you found something interesting when you patrol the city today, Your Royal Highness seems to be preparing to elope with your sister, and the carriage is tied to the palace maid cuckoo next to the queen."
"What's going on?" Su Jiao was stunned when she heard this, the amount of information was too large, so that she almost couldn't accept it completely, but soon, her brain, who was familiar with all kinds of bloody plots, quickly reacted.
"Ah, I know, I saw early on that Du Juan had other intentions, could it be that her ambition exploded and wanted to bully Su Lian, and then she was discovered by the third prince, so the third prince simply ran away with Su Lian. But it shouldn't be, isn't it true that he is not rare for the throne? ”
"Judging from the situation at the time, it was indeed about the same, Su Lian had been holding her belly, I was afraid that it was a little tossed." Xiao Huai'an also felt the same, and reached out to take an orange from the table.
Su Jiao twisted her brows and thought carefully for a moment, and an idea suddenly flashed in her mind, telling her to quickly turn around, grab Xiao Huai'an's palm tightly, and almost shake the half-peeled orange in his hand to the ground.
"Then tomorrow you may really have to toss, if he releases the cuckoo and lets the cuckoo come back alive to complain, no matter what, it will definitely involve you, I think you might as well strike first, but the main thing is how this matter should be made up——"
"You don't have to worry about this, I have almost investigated what happened, and tomorrow I should naturally explain the cause and effect of the incident in front of the queen."
As he spoke, Xiao Huai'an lowered his eyes slightly, and tried the slightly sweet taste of the orange before putting the other half into Su Jiao's hand. Su Jiao also knew that he had always been reliable, so she put her mind at ease.
But even if the main problem is with Du Juan, if Xu Rulie's matter is let go, if it is exposed, Xiao Huai'an will also be affected.
However, when Xiao Huaian saw Xu Rulie in the carriage at that time, he voluntarily let them go, because if it was himself, he would rather take Su Jiao away and fly away as a last resort.
Then, soon the next day, the cuckoo dragged a pair of frostbitten legs and staggered to the gate of the palace.
She gritted her teeth and walked in the wilderness for a whole night in the wind and snow, and by the time she stood in front of the palace guards, she was almost embarrassed and inhuman.
