Sitting alone in the water pavilion, Gong Yu carefully opened the envelope, and there was only thin letter paper inside.

[The letter has been received, everything is fine, return to the capital around the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't read it, leave it for Ruyan. 】

Gong Yu read it over and over again for half an hour, these dozens of words were so short that Gong Yu couldn't think of the deep meaning in them.

The sound of the cicadas seemed to drag on for a long time on purpose, piercingly and non-stop, and Gong Yu lay sideways on the low couch, feeling that Dai Ruyan's letter probably had no meaning at all.

There was not a single word about the peach blossom sachet in the letter, Gong Yu lay flat and held the letter with both hands, let go of her hands in frustration, the letter fell on Gong Yu's cheek and slid aside.

"What do these mean!" Gong Yu closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to pick up the letter paper beside her, gently pressing it in her bosom and muttering.

It was only a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Gong Yu began to feel inexplicably nervous again.

The old housekeeper selects the right staff for the newly opened store. Gong Yu went to visit it twice, because the people who bought it were all items from other countries, and there were far more people watching the excitement than buying.

Therefore, Gong Yu took advantage of the opportunity to change the store into a similar exhibition, charging entrance fees, of course, you can buy it if you like it, and even hold auctions for hot-selling items, which aroused the curiosity of many princes and nobles in the capital.

As for Qin Hua, Gong Yuyou sent someone to investigate his family background, only to find that he was once a disciple of His Royal Highness Gongquan, but at that time Gongquan was abolished, and more than half of the disciples left at the end of the year, so Qin Hua also left.

August is the time when sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and of course you can also taste warm sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Gong Yu asked the guards to send Qingyun out of the capital and escort her to the border to find out who Qingyun is.

All affairs in the mansion are being handled in an orderly manner, and Gong Yu is not so worried about Dai Ruyan's return when she is busy.

It was just unexpected that Qing Yun, who was red-eyed, was sent away. Gong Yu went to the pastry shop to try the new pastry, but happened to run into the woman in red.

Gong Yu, who turned around to hide, heard the laughter and asked, "Isn't this the little brother from that day?"

Gong Yu crossed the threshold and only said: "I still have something to do, let's go first."

"What's the rush?" Even though there were several people away, the woman in red was like a loach, sticking to her in the blink of an eye.

"You still called my sister that day, why are you so unfamiliar in just a few months?" The woman in red was about to lean closer, as if she was soft and boneless.

Gong Yu remembered hurriedly grabbing Qin Hua who was at the side, blocking the woman in red who looked like a scourge, and said: "Mr. Trouble, help me block for a while."

Qin Hua looked at Gong Yu dumbly, and replied helplessly, "Yes, Your Highness."

Quickly ran out of the pastry shop, Gong Yu was still holding the hot pastry in her hand, ignoring the surprised eyes around her.

After crossing the street, Gong Yu stopped slowly at the corner. The streets in this capital are complicated and chaotic, and the woman in red should not be able to catch up.

"Hey, the richest man in the world has his home ransacked for colluding with corrupt officials."

"Who would have thought, Mr. Gu is a well-known and benevolent person."

"The Gu family is as rich as a country, and the money stolen from the house may not be moved for ten days and ten nights."

Gong Yu walked towards the surrounding crowd, only to see the portrait of the fugitive painted on it, why does this buddy look a bit like the person who was in the teahouse with Dai Ruyan at that time.

Well, when seeing the word Gu Qing, Gong Yu was sure that this person was the handsome son who was with Dai Ruyan.

Just when Gong Yu was watching seriously, a sharp object was pressed against her back suddenly, and a woman whispered in her ear: "If you want to survive, follow me quietly."

"Okay." Gong Yu probably knew that the dagger was on the back.

When Gong Yu came out today, she was accompanied by guards, but just now when Gong Yu entered the pastry shop, she asked the guards to drink tea.

In the end, by chance, she ran into the woman in red again, and Gong Yu ran away alone. Could it be that this person followed her all the way?

Forced to enter the uninhabited alley, Gong Yu said calmly: "We can discuss, if you want money, I can send it to you immediately."

The last time Gong Yu was attacked, she still had lingering fears, this woman shouted viciously: "Shut your stinky mouth!"

Ok.

Gong Yu was taken to an underground wine cellar in the ruins, with ropes tied to her body. Although the woman covered her face, she should be no more than the age of her generation when she looked at her figure and spoke.

It was getting darker outside, and Gong Yu felt that Qin Hua and the butler should have discovered that he was missing, and someone in the capital should be searching for him at this moment.

The wine cellar was too dim, only one oil lamp was lit, and the light was very dim.

I saw the woman wiping the dagger with a calm expression, she looked like a killer who had been in this business for a long time.

Gong Yu cleared her throat and asked, "I've never seen you before, who sent you here?"

The woman chuckled and said, "I didn't kill you last time, so did your Highness forget it so quickly?"

Gong Yu, startled by this chuckle, recalled the danger of being chased and killed in a trance, and asked with a beating heart: "But I have no grievances with you, why did you do this?"

"Wuqiu?" The woman approached with a dagger in her hand and said, "Could it be possible that your highness has forgotten the corruption case caused by you?"

Corruption case?

"The embezzlement case of embezzlement of my mansion's money?" Gong Yu calmed down and said, "But the embezzlement was verified by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and I am also an innocent person."

The woman stretched out her hand and tore off the black cloth on her face. There were several scars on her cheeks. She put the dagger lightly on Gong Yu's neck and said with a smile, "My father, mother, and elder brother ransacked and beheaded all over the house because of this unwarranted corruption. charge."

"Unnecessary?" Gong Yu's neck was stiff and she didn't dare to move, vaguely aware of some tingling pain in her neck, she responded, "You don't think I'm the one who brought the crime to your family, do you?"

"Of course it's not you." The woman held the dagger and lightly moved it to Gong Yu's cheek and said, "Father just obeyed the order, but he took all the responsibility for the crime when the incident happened, and all the cause was just because of Dai Ruyan's light and fluttering sentence of guilt. "

"Why doesn't Dai Ruyan think about it, my father is not a dog under her father's hands, why should I suffer such a miserable experience?"

Gong Yu looked at the woman's fierce eyes, and leaning against the cold wall, she suddenly felt familiar.

I saw these eyes on the cruise ship that day, but it was very lively at that time, and Gong Yu was so focused on fruit wine that she never paid attention to it.

"She is really good to you. She has sent secret guards to protect you since you were injured." The woman smiled triumphantly, patted Gong Yu's face with a dagger and said, "Everyone says Dai Shi She is graceful and graceful, and has enjoyed the phoenix of a palace queen for generations, but who knows that Dai Ruyan is actually a lunatic."

"What did you say... lunatic?"

"Ms. Qingji has only one son and one daughter, why Dai Ruyan, as the legitimate daughter of the Dai family, has never been out of the Dai family until she was 12 years old?"

The woman lowered her voice and said like a devil: "Because she is crazy, can you imagine that Dai Ruyan, who was only 12 years old, killed two personal maids with her own hands?"

Gong Yu felt that the woman must be crazy, and murmured: "What are you talking about?"

The woman lowered her brows, her eyes were fierce, she pulled the distance away and pierced the dagger straight into Gong Yu's shoulder, the blood soaked Gong Yu's robe, the pain was so painful that Gong Yu didn't even have time to cry out.

"Why don't you believe it?" The woman pulled out her dagger, turned around and took out a medicine bottle, sprinkled the powder on Gong Yu's wound and said with a smile, "You can't die now."

"Dai Ruyan will return to the capital tomorrow, and I want her to watch your blood fall drop by drop on the walls of the capital."

Gong Yu endured the pain and smiled, looked at the sealed wine cellar, pressed the button of the chain on her wrist, and smoke slowly filled the inside.

The woman looked at Gong Yu displeased and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Why don't you dare to go to Dai Ruyan face to face, but have been cowardly assassinating me?" Gong Yu gasped, enduring the pain and said, "On the surface, you said you wanted to use me to torture Dai Ruyan, but in fact, I told you Dai Ruyan is neither close nor old, at most it is just a gossip in the capital."

"So you dare not, because you are afraid of Dai Ruyan?"

The woman walked towards Gong Yu quickly, she didn't take the dagger that was put aside, she grabbed Gong Yu's neck with both hands, her eyes were red and frightening.

"You know what, in my dreams, I want to cut Dai Ruyan's face with a knife, what a vicious person she is!"

Gong Yu, who was strangled by the throat, couldn't speak at all, and stared blankly at the scarred woman in front of her.

Suddenly, the woman looked into Gong Yu's eyes, let go of her hands, and stepped back in panic, pushing something with her hands indiscriminately, as if she had received some stimulation.

Then she covered her entire face with her hands, crying in a low voice, "My face...my face was destroyed by her."

Gong Yu, who had only one breath left, fell to the ground panting, her hands were bound by ropes, and the injured Gong Yu who fell to the ground hurt tears almost fell out.

"Why did you kill my father..." The woman covered her face and wept, the scene was so weird and bloody no matter how you looked at it.

Gong Yu struggled to lean half against the wall, she just felt that this woman's martial strength should not be low, and the mist should have been knocked down by an ordinary person.

The woman seemed to sense something was wrong, looking at the cellar filled with mist, Gong Yujing's back was already soaked, but fortunately, the woman fell straight on the ground.

"Hello?" Gong Yu called tentatively.

Seeing that the woman really didn't respond, she got up and approached the dagger on the small table, her hands were tied and she almost lost consciousness.

After finally cutting the rope, Gong Yu hurriedly left the cellar with the dagger in her hand. When she breathed politely, Gong Yu felt that her eyes were black and white, and she almost fell down.

The pain made Gong Yu come back to her senses, and she walked through the intertwined alleys. Fortunately, she met Qin Hua who was looking for him with guards. Gong Yu just felt relieved and said: "Sir, there is another prisoner in the cellar. You need to go and arrest him quickly." yes."

Before waiting for a response, Gong Yu also passed out.

When she woke up, it was only twilight outside the window. Gong Yu thought she had slept for a long time, but found that she had only slept in the middle of the night. The wound on her shoulder was a bit deep, and the wound was bandaged by a maid sent by Dai Ruyan.

Gong Yu could not move her entire left hand for several months. When questioning the woman, Qin Hua replied: "The man killed several guards and fled away with brutal methods."

The poison of the drug in the bracelet is so strong, Gong Yu had already taken the antidote when she bought the bracelet, and she was still affected by the poison, and her head was a little dizzy.

That woman can actually hurt people, which shows that her martial arts are really strong. Gong Yu still feels a little scared thinking about the scar on the woman's face, so she asks people to investigate the corruption case.

But the woman's words still linger in her ears, Gong Yu doesn't know how much of her words are true or not, but she has to admit that Dai Ruyan seems to have countless secrets.

The sun was shining outside, Gong Yu was half lying on the slum and felt a little cold, squinting slightly at the folded thousand paper cranes, murmured: "Fortunately, this thousand paper cranes have been folded long ago, Otherwise, I’m afraid it’s too late to deliver.”

The sun was very warm, and despite the severe pain in the wound, Gong Yu still slept well this time, and when she woke up, it was already dark outside, leaving only the sunset glow that had not been swallowed by the night.

But when she turned her head and saw Dai Ruyan at the side, Gong Yu was in a daze and couldn't help herself.

There is no lamp in the water pavilion, it looks a little dark, Dai Ruyan is wearing a plain dress, and her black hair is hanging down her back, although it is a little dark, but Gongyu can feel Dai Ruyan's gaze on her body.

The gentle and eager eyes always make Gong Yu subconsciously ignore the confusion of why Dai Ruyan is so close to her.

Although Dai Ruyan looks gentle and considerate, but this is only on the surface, because Gong Yu also clearly felt Dai Ruyan's indifference towards other people's life and death.

That is a kind of indifference towards life, not the indifference after getting used to it.
