Chapter 327 Complaint
The guard's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't even speak, if it weren't for the fact that the cuckoo still had the palace card in the queen's bedroom, he was afraid that they would be ready to throw the cuckoo out as a beggar.
As for the queen in the palace, since Xu Ruzhu was injured, her mood has been very clear in the past few days, and she feels that the throne must be Xu Rulie's, and she is completely victorious, so she is happy for a while, and she doesn't take Xu Rulie too closely, and orders people to come over to report from time to time.
But when she got up this morning, she suddenly heard that the cuckoo had come back in a mess, and the queen realized that something was not quite right.
"Where did you go yesterday? Didn't you ask Rulie to come into the palace, why didn't I see you all day, where did you go? ”
The queen had just finished dressing up when she got up in the morning, and suddenly heard about the cuckoo, and hurried over to take a look, only to see the cuckoo lying on the bed with a blue and red face.
When the cuckoo heard the queen's voice, he opened his eyes with the last faint breath, and when he saw that the queen and the magpie were coming, he immediately cried out aggrieved.
"Mother, queen mother, you must be the master of the slave." As he spoke, the cuckoo stretched out his hand, presumably trying to pull the hem of the queen's clothes.
The queen just stood with her brows twisted and did not approach, and although the magpie beside her also knew that the cuckoo was not right, but the current tragic situation made it difficult for her to say anything cool, so she just waited for the cuckoo to say something behind.
The cuckoo didn't care if the queen felt sorry for herself, but continued to cry. Be very clear about what you want to say.
"Queen Mother, the big thing is not good, the slave maid went to invite the Third Highness to enter the palace on the order of the Queen Mother yesterday, but when I saw that Aunt Su didn't seem to be very well, the slave and maid asked, and delayed a little longer, who knew that the Third Highness came back, but it seemed to be a different person, coercing the slave and maid not to let the slave and maid come back to report the news, and he himself had escaped from the city with Aunt Su."
"What?" The queen was taken aback, how could she accept the news at first glance, "How can this be good?" Why did he go out of the city, it must be that you provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, and you shouldn't be honest about it. ”
The queen scolded angrily, he didn't believe Du Juan's words on the surface, but I am afraid that he still had a doubt in his heart, but he only held on to it and did not have a seizure.
But the cuckoo continued to cry a handful of snot and tears, and even if he was unwell, he turned over, climbed down from the side of the bed, and knelt at the queen's feet.
"Mother, the slave was brought up by you to watch the training, how could she joke with you about this kind of thing? Niangniang should hurry up and send someone to find the Third Highness back, I'm afraid that if it's too late, the carriage of the Third Highness will leave the outskirts of Beijing. ”
Even if Du Juan really did something behind her back, she wanted to rely on bitter tricks to win sympathy, and she didn't have to do this kind of work, and it was even more impossible for her to dare to climb Xu Rulie.
In this way, presumably what she said was true, the queen only felt a thunderbolt above her head, her ears were deaf, and she was about to collapse to the ground when her feet were weak.
The heart was startled, and he couldn't care about how pitiful the cuckoo on the bed was, so he hurriedly helped the queen to the side seat with another palace maid to sit and rest.
At this time, the queen finally came to her senses, but what followed was a stormy cry.
"Rulie, Rulie of this palace, this time is gone, what do you want the queen mother to do? How could he leave the queen mother alone, how did he do such an unfilial thing, it must have been instigated by Su Lian beside him," the queen cried more and more painfully, and one hand hammered uncontrollably into her heart, and the frightened magpie quickly knelt on the ground and grabbed her hand.
"I knew that Bengong should have killed her before she became pregnant, otherwise as long as Yuge's original child was born well, the status of Bengong and Rulie would be absolutely unshakable."
"Niangniang, don't be sad, pay attention to the phoenix body, presumably the Third Highness hasn't gone far yet, we should still be able to find it back now."
The magpie couldn't bear to see it, and was anxious to let the little palace maids make tea, but this time the person who came with the tea was a. As soon as the approached and put down the teacup, the first thing he did was to point at the cuckoo and scold him.
"Niangniang, don't you believe the nonsense that Du Juan said, these are all made up by Du Juan herself, obviously Du Juan Xiao wants the position of the concubine of the Third Highness, so she wants to assassinate Aunt Su and is discovered by the Third Highness."
"She also said that she was ordered by Niangniang to go to her mother and son, these things, Master Xiao has already investigated clearly, and now she is waiting for Niangniang to summon her outside the palace, and Niangniang will know when she goes to see her."
The tugged at a pair of brows, although her actions were a little rough, but her personality was like this, it was nothing, and the more important thing was that she broke the cuckoo's nonsense.
After listening to the words of the, the queen took a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, barely stopped the sound of sobbing, and her eyes kept wandering between her and the cuckoo.
Du Juan didn't expect this matter to be so hidden, and he would actually kill Cheng Cheng to bite the gold halfway, and suddenly with a frightened face, he rolled off the bed directly.
"No, Queen Mother, this must be a mistake from the, or it was deliberately framed by Xiao Huai'an, yesterday he obviously went to him to inspect the carriage of the Three Highnesses, but he deliberately let go of the Three Highnesses, it must be that they should be together inside and outside, but in the end they want to plant the blame on the slave maid, the slave and the maid are wronged!"
"You are still talking nonsense, Lord Xiao is investigating the affairs of the epidemic area, where do you have the time to inspect, let alone personally inspect the carriage. It's you, if you weren't a thief, why did you react so much? If you really have a clear conscience, why did you have to spend the whole day outside yesterday? ”
The chickadee has always been not good with most of the palace maids, and there is no holiday with the cuckoo, and the only one who is close to it is the magpie, so her words are easier to believe.
The cuckoo was dumbfounded by the angry, and the magpie also felt that the matter was quite suspicious, so he followed the queen's ear to help him.
"Niangniang, what the said is right, the words of the cuckoo alone are not credible, it is better to ask Lord Xiao first, and then we can figure out the reason, so that we can find a way to persuade the Third Highness to come back."
When the words landed, after all, Xu Rulie was brought back, which could most touch the queen's heart. Especially now that the emperor's birthday is approaching, Xu Rulie must not be allowed to do anything at this juncture, otherwise his efforts will be wasted.
With a magpie beside her, the queen instantly agreed with her statement, glanced meaningfully at the self-directed cuckoo, and threw up her sleeves in the big hall outside to prepare to meet Xiao Huai'an.
As soon as Du Juan saw this situation, he also knew that his lie might soon be exposed, and his heart suddenly went up and down, thinking about what excuse to help him get out.
However, the did not give her this opportunity, and kept standing by her bedside watching, lest she make any other small movements.
Outside the main hall, Xiao Huai'an was wearing a cloak made of gray wolf skin, and the fluff on the edge of the cloak had already accumulated, and the small snowflakes that had not yet melted, as soon as he saw the queen come out, he directly stepped forward and saluted.
"I have seen the queen mother, Weichen has something to come to report, I heard that yesterday the third highness took Aunt Su out of the city and has not returned, the guards of the city gate found the traces of the three highnesses in the south and have sent someone to chase them, this matter is not trivial, Weichen did not dare to report to His Majesty, and came to ask for the mother's show."
As soon as she heard Xiao Huai'an's words, although the queen had heard about it from Du Juan, she was a little mentally prepared, but when she heard it again, she still couldn't help but collapse in her heart, she wailed silently, and sat down on her main seat.
"If it's really gone, then you quickly send someone to investigate, surely? I have to find Rulie back before His Majesty's birthday, and I don't know how long this matter can be hidden from His Majesty's side. ”
The queen pressed her forehead in despair, and she didn't care that Xiao Huai'an was also one of the candidates to compete for the throne with Xu Rulie, so she just wanted to quickly find someone to settle the matter first.
As for what the cuckoo said, it has been pierced by the, how could she believe that Xiao Huai'an had something to do with this matter, otherwise, Xiao Huai'an would not have taken the initiative to come over and tell herself.
"Your Majesty's side, Wechen listened to the arrangement of the queen's mother, but the reason why the third highness suddenly left the city, Wechen investigated some eyebrows from the subordinates of the third highness's house, and I don't know if the queen wants to meet them."
Xiao Huai'an raised his head with his chest, although this matter had a little to do with himself, but he was not worried, he had already expected that the queen would not suspect him, so he also naturally reported the cause of the incident to the queen, and as soon as the queen heard these words, her brows instantly wrinkled together with hatred.
"No need, this palace believes in your ability in this matter, Fang Cai has already told this palace the general reason, Du Juan is so deceitful and delusional, it is simply hateful, and she actually wants to assassinate the emperor and grandson of this palace, and forced away Rulie of this palace, which is even more unforgivable."
As she spoke, the queen slapped her on the table next to her, even if there was something that made the queen angry on weekdays, she had to be elegant for the queen's shelf, but now she really couldn't hold it.
The queen said slowly from her mouth, but even if she had the greatest malice of the cuckoo, it would be useless at the moment, and after he vented the notice, his godmother withdrew her hand and covered her eyes, so as not to be seen on her vulnerable side.
The magpie also looked very distressed next to him, but he didn't dare to help anything, Xiao Huai'an looked at the queen so angry, although it was reasonable, but some worries inexplicably appeared.
