Chapter 323: Darkness Under the Heavy Snow
Hearing this, Xu Rulie's eyes rolled, Xu Ruzhu was injured and couldn't come over, Xiao Huai'an was running around outside, only himself and Xu Ruye were left, it was impossible that he was not as good as a seven or eight-year-old hairy child.
"Naturally, even the Taifu said that Erchen's homework has improved greatly compared to previous years."
"Liu Ci said, then there should be no problem." The queen nodded, and felt a lot more relieved.
Then, in order to celebrate Xu Ruzhu's injury, the queen specially asked Xu Rulie to stay in the palace to eat with her.
But at the same time, the cuckoo who came back from outside the palace did not even return to the queen to serve at the moment, and the queen was too happy to notice.
Outside the queen's bedroom, the cuckoo noticed the movement in the palace and everything was peaceful, so he quietly came to the corner of a small garden near here according to the note he received.
Here, there was already a little eunuch in a black cloak waiting here, and as soon as he saw the cuckoo, he greeted him and told him the task succinctly.
"That's probably what things look like, as long as you complete the task, no matter what method you use, anyway, the queen mother has been disgusted with Su Lian for a long time, presumably as long as you act carefully, no one will suspect you."
Hearing this, although the cuckoo had such thoughts for a long time, but if she really wanted to do it, she still didn't dare to pull her fingers and said with some trepidation.
"But is that really the case? In case the Third Highness and the Queen Mother ask, or because of this, they have a stiffen, then I don't have a chance? ”
"Tsk," the little eunuch sighed in disgust, and grabbed the cuckoo's wrist tightly with one hand. "Is there anything else to worry about, when did the adult's calculation go wrong?"
"If you miss this opportunity, then it won't be your turn in the future, speaking of which, by the queen's side, whether it is a cuckoo or a, which one is more trusted and favored by the queen's mother, they may also get the opportunity to marry, and it is not impossible to be a rich lady in the end, as for you, you are so willing to stay in the palace, just find a eunuch to eat, and waste your life?"
The little eunuch wore a hood, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, and the people who watched were covered with cold hairs standing on end, and the cuckoo had goosebumps all over his body just thinking of that scene, and he hurriedly broke free of the little eunuch's hand, and shook his head again and again.
"I don't want it, how can I be reduced to this point with such a appearance and identity, I know, you can rest assured, I am measured."
After that, the cuckoo trembled twice, his head was a little groggy, and he turned around in a daze and was just about to leave, but as if he remembered something, he turned his head and glanced at the little eunuch coldly.
"It's just that I don't understand, you are also very favored by your master's side, how can you choose to follow the adult like me?"
When the words landed, the little eunuch leaned sideways and did not speak for a while, and then he evoked a sneer. "People die for money, birds die for food, what is there to ask."
This is not bad, the cuckoo's eyes narrowed, and he parted ways with the eunuch. After the two of them left, the sky began to slowly begin to fall snowflakes, obscuring all traces of people passing here.
Xu Rulie stayed in the queen's warm palace, but his mind had been thinking about Su Lian, who was lonely and raising a baby outside the palace, and when he was entangled, his eyes glanced out of the window, and he found that the snowflakes outside had fallen bigger and bigger, and even the window sills and branches everywhere had accumulated a thin layer unconsciously.
"Queen Mother, it's snowing, it's not too early, Erchen should really go back, Erchen retires."
Xu Rulie was worried for a while, lest the snowflakes accumulate deeply, and the road will not be easy to walk, so he will rush outside with his own cloak.
The queen didn't have time to stop her, so she only asked the magpie to chase after her, and the two of them pushed the door open together, and suddenly a strong north wind swept the snowflakes as big as goose feathers, and they drifted to Xu Rulie's face.
It seems that God has just been brewing for so long, and now he is ready to send all the belated snowflakes down in one go.
"Rulie, wait, it's so heavy under the snow outside, you have to go out, in case the carriage breaks down in the middle of the road, you can't go back, how can it be good if it's frozen?"
The queen frowned, and stepped forward, and the magpie took the opportunity to close the door. Xu Rulie also knew that it might be a little dangerous to go out now, but after all, he couldn't help it, and when the queen saw this, she hurriedly persuaded her.
"You can rest assured, Su Lian stays in the house well, it's okay if you go back later, if you freeze out and delay Su Lian's fetus, this is a big deal."
After all, this is still what Xu Rulie cares about the most, even if it is not for the sake of the child, Su Lian's body is weak, he can't specially bring the cold back to him.
Thinking of this, he had to hold back for the time being, and stayed in the queen's skill until the evening.
As for the cuckoo, the dormitory is bustling, and who will notice her presence.
Du Juan quietly put on one of his silver-white cotton coats, took the palace card that he had gone out to invite Xu Rulie before, and had not had time to return it, secretly got into the carriage, and came directly to Xu Rulie's house.
At first glance, the cotton gown looks like an ordinary cotton shoulder, but in fact it is made of thick rabbit fluff inside, so even if you don't even have a chance to go back to get the cloak, the cuckoo doesn't have to be afraid of the cold at all.
In the Three Princes' Mansion, Su Lian was wearing a heavy grizzly bear fur cloak alone, sitting next to the stove, only opening one door, and looking at the increasingly snow-white crystal world outside from a distance.
Usually, in order to show Su Lian's humility and generosity, Su Lian has never liked to have too many people waiting in front of him, as long as Xu Rulie leaves, almost everyone can retreat by themselves, and do whatever they like, only Qingyi is alone by his side, no wonder Su Lian's courtyard seems so deserted.
Qingyi grew up with Su Lian since she was a child, even if she had any words in her heart, she was never embarrassed to say it, so she had to endure all the grievances and accompany her.
At the moment, it has been at least three or four hours since Xu Rulie left, Su Lian couldn't wait for him to come back, the loneliness and loneliness made her tears of grievance almost burst out of her eyes, one hand leaned on the edge of the table, looking at the black sandalwood table and weeping alone.
"Miss-" Qing Yi couldn't bear to see it, helped Su Lian put away her cloak, and was just about to say a few words of comfort, when she saw the direction of the door, there was a girl who didn't even have time to put on her cloak, and hurriedly ran over here.
"Aunt Cuckoo, why are you here?" Qingyi squinted, because the clothes Cuckoo was wearing were also quiet, so she almost didn't recognize her for a moment.
The cuckoo didn't have time to answer, rushed into the house, didn't care about his cold red hands, grabbed Su Lian and prepared to run outside.
"It's just in time, Aunt Su, come with me, the carriage has been arranged outside."
"Wait, what the hell is going on?" The cuckoo's strength was not small, Su Lian only felt that her wrist was hot when she grabbed it, and she hurriedly threw the person away.
The cuckoo was startled, but he didn't expect Su Lian to react so strongly, turned around and twisted a pair of brows, looking bitter.
"It's too late to explain, Aunt Su, you believe me, for the sake of the Third Highness, it is impossible for the slaves and maids to do anything to you?"
Hearing this, Su Lian wrinkled her brows, she was just suspicious, she had never liked Du Juan, out of intuition, so she was only half-convinced of Du Juan's words.
And in order to avoid any accidents, Qingyi also blocked in front of her for the first time, Du Juan couldn't stand two people alone, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and the melting snowflakes on her head were like sweat, dripping down her cheeks and onto the cotton gown on her body, so she had to say everything.
"Aunt Su doesn't believe me, so don't you even believe the words of the third prince? Didn't the third prince tell Aunt Su before? ”
"Now that the fifth prince has been injured, he is destined to lose his chance with the throne, and it is impossible for others to be, and the candidate for the prince is destined to fall on the body of the third highness. The queen is worried that after the Third Highness ascends the throne, she will marry a queen like you, so no matter what, she also wants to arrange someone to deal with Aunt Su. ”
"Why is this, our young lady is still pregnant with the child of the Third Highness in her belly, doesn't the queen also care about this?"
Qingyi's frightened eyes widened when she gave Du Juan, and she was worried that Su Lian would affect the fetal gas if she heard it, so she didn't forget to turn around and cover half of Su Lian's ears, so that she wouldn't hear it too clearly.
But a few people were standing at such a close distance, how could Su Lian not hear it, and in an instant, tears that were already stored in his eyes burst out.
"Who's to say it isn't? But now Aunt Su is eight months pregnant, and the child in her belly has also been formed, if the medicine can give birth to the child earlier, the queen can deal with Aunt Su before the third highness ascends the throne, so as to prevent future troubles. ”
Cuckoo sighed, people who don't know, what kind of sincerity do you really think she is?
"It's just that the slave and maid really can't stand it, so as soon as they heard the news, they hurried over to inform Aunt Su that there was already a carriage waiting there at the door, and Aunt Su hurriedly got on the car to escape the catastrophe."
"What?" Su Lian covered her mouth, her legs were weak, and she almost didn't slip off the stool. But even if the cuckoo told her to run away quickly, she still had such a big belly, and it was inconvenient for her to move.
Qingyi hurriedly helped her, vaguely feeling that there were many loopholes in Du Juan's words, but she couldn't find anything wrong for a while, so she just pressed her brows and asked.
"Then does our young lady have to stay outside all the time, is this also the child of the Third Highness, the queen mother is so careless?"
