"I wonder if Mr. Dai knows sister Dai?" Gong Yu got up and asked.

Qin Hua paused slightly, turned around and said, "Naturally, I have heard about Miss Dai's demeanor. Is there anything else your Highness needs?"

Gong Yu walked closer and looked into Qin Hua's eyes with a smile and said, "It's nothing, sir, go get busy if you have something to do."

When Qin Hua turned to leave again, Gong Yu recalled the movement of Qin Hua's right hand subconsciously touching the thumb and pulling the fingers just now, and couldn't help thinking about it.

Rushing to the water pavilion, Dai Ruyan was sitting on the chessboard, as if he was fighting with himself, playing quite seriously.

A bamboo curtain was hung in the pavilion to keep out the wind. Gong Yu stepped forward and opened the bamboo curtain to enter the pavilion. Before she could make a sound, she heard Dai Ruyan say from sideways: "Just now I went to play chess with Mr. Qin again." ?”

"En." After being discovered, Gong Yu stopped standing on tiptoe, and simply sat directly beside Dai Ruyan.

The chess game in front of him was indistinguishable, Gong Yu looked at it and said, "If you play chess with yourself, how will you win or lose?"

"It's natural to see which side shows its flaws, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Naturally, there will be winners and losers."

Gong Yu also felt confused when she heard it, and reached out to touch the walnuts placed beside her and said, "I don't understand this kind of thing anymore."

"By the way, does Ah Yan know Qin Hua?"

Dai Ruyan put down the chess piece in his hand and said: "I met a few times with His Majesty before, and I heard that he is a master who is good at strategy."

"His Royal Highness has been confined for a full year, and has also begun to enter the court in recent days. Last time, the incident of the Third Highness and Fourth Highness was known all over the city. Now the main Highness is left in the court, and the Sixth Highness is the same as Xiaojiu."

Sitting cross-legged, Gong Yu's eyes fell on Dai Ruyan's apricot-yellow clothes, which complemented her extremely white complexion, but most of Dai Ruyan's clothes were loose, which made Dai Ruyan's slender white wrists even more slender.

It was probably due to the cool weather in the early morning in autumn, so Dai Ruyan added a thicker robe, which is currently being put aside.

"Have you heard, Ah Yan? That Qing Shui'er was found dead in the ancestral hall of the Qing family's old house this morning."

"Well, I heard that the method is very cruel." Dai Ruyan didn't hesitate at all, just picked up the scattered pieces on the chessboard as usual.

Gong Yu took out the half of the arrow from her sleeve pocket, put it in front of Dai Ruyan and said: "Mr. Qin guessed that it should be the same person who injured Qingyun last time."

Dai Ruyan didn't look at the arrow but said: "This matter happened at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so it must be investigated by Dali Temple. Why does Xiao Jiu care so much about this matter?"

"Because I also saw this kind of pattern when the fourth brother was assassinated, I think it may be related to the internal struggle of the royal family."

"Does Xiaojiu know which force this pattern represents?" Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu, his eyes were as clear as a mirror and asked.

Gong Yu paused for a moment and was still tangled up, only to see Dai Ruyan reach out and take away the walnut in Gong Yu's hand, holding the walnut clip and turning it lightly before opening the walnut.

Dai Ruyan picked out the walnut meat and put it in Gong Yu's palm, saying: "There is no rush for this matter, besides, I have had someone check the pattern, but this sect just popped up out of nowhere, without any other signs of existence, except Only this pattern indicates that this sect has appeared before."

"I can't find anything else."

"I guess that raising such a group of dead soldiers with high martial arts skills and cruelty must have something to do with the royal family." Gong Yu said self-consciously, eating walnuts slowly.

"Maybe."

Dai Ruyan didn't seem to be interested. After clearing up the chess game, he chose to open the walnuts. Quiet in the pavilion often heard the sound of cracking walnuts.

Gong Yu's gaze never moved away from Dai Ruyan from the beginning to the end, but Dai Ruyan's reaction was too calm, even a little cold.

"Don't open it all, I can't finish it." Gong Yu said, and then took a sip of tea.

"You really don't want to eat?" Dai Ruyan stopped her hands, and said with a warm smile in her clarified eyes, "I see you are holding the walnut all the time, but you never ask me to help you."

Occasionally, the bamboo curtains would be shaken by the wind outside the pavilion, and the green gauze curtains hanging inside were shaking slightly, Dai Ruyan's clean smile made Gong Yu fascinated.

He didn't think about why Qing Shui'er died so painfully in his head, anyway, it wouldn't be that a good person like Dai Ruyan would not do such a thing.

But who would torture the daughter of a condemned prisoner like this, and put so much effort into letting her die in the ancestral hall of the Qing family?

In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and the capital was always shrouded in dense fog. Although the wound on his left shoulder had scabbed over, Gong Yu's left hand was still a little stiff when he moved it because he hadn't moved it for a long time.

In the resplendent and resplendent hall, as always, all the ministers entered the hall, Gongquan stood at the front, and although the third and fourth princes also attended the political affairs, they were much more silent than before. Difference.

"Your Majesty, the establishment of a crown prince is the foundation of the country, and the crown prince should be canonized earlier." The Taifu was still urging this matter every day.

Even the prime minister on the other side followed suit, and the father and king above said impatiently: "We will discuss this matter at a later date."

After a set of Tai Chi, the ministers finally began to discuss other complicated matters such as taxes in various places at the end of the year.

I saw Dali Temple Secretary Chen Ming said: "Return to Your Majesty, the murder of the fugitive Qing Shui'er has recently been investigated and it seems that the same group of people as the assassination of His Highness the Fourth Highness."

"After investigation, it is a unique symbol of the Jianghu assassination sect. Initially, Qing Shui'er should have been bought by the enemy to kill."

All of a sudden, the hall was silent, and the Third Highness knelt down in panic and said, "Father, the son of the king was wronged, and the son of the assassination sect has never heard of it."

"Leave this matter to Chen Ming, Minister of Dali Temple, who is fully responsible. If it is true that the prince colluded with a third-rate assassination sect in the world to kill the royal blood, he will be dealt with according to the laws of the palace and the country." The emperor with a serious expression threw the memorial in his hand to the three In front of His Highness, he said angrily.

"The minister leads the decree." The minister of Dali Temple kowtowed.

After this morning, His Highness the Third Highness's whole face turned pale.

Gong Yu was walking back in the palace road, and happened to meet His Highness the Sixth Highness, and the two stopped.

"Is Xiaojiu's left hand better now?" His Highness Six asked worriedly.

"Thank you brother Liu Huang for your concern, the injury is almost healed." The palace road was very smooth, and the cold wind slapped his face, but Gong Yu couldn't shrink his neck, so he could only press hard.

His Highness the Sixth Prince moved closer and said: "Nowadays the court is very complicated. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask Brother Sixth Emperor."

Gong Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, brother Liu Huang, for your concern."

The two chatted for a few words and then left in the sedan chair. Gong Yu was holding the stove in his hand and didn't quite understand why the emperor was suddenly so strict in the court.

After all, hasn't the matter of the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness already become the tacit fact of everyone?

"Go to Dai girl's place." Gong Yu opened the curtain and said to the servant outside.

When the sedan chair stopped, Gong Yu poked her head out and saw that there was another sedan chair outside. After entering the mansion, Gong Yu asked the young man leading the way: "Is anyone else coming to this mansion?"

"Back to His Highness Nine, it's Your Highness."

Going around the promenade, Gong Yu caught a glimpse of the lake water wrinkled by the cold wind, only to feel a little colder, and hastily tightened her collar.

I saw Dai Ruyan sitting with Gong Quan, they seemed to be talking, Gong Yu was hesitating whether to go in or not.Unexpectedly, but happened to meet Gong Quan's eyes, Gong Yu had no choice but to face the difficulties.

Entering the pavilion, the maid served tea and then retreated outside the pavilion. Gong Yu took a sip of the tea and said, "Brother Dahuang is also here to drink tea and cakes for sister?"

Gong Quan smiled and said: "Of course not, I just discussed with the girl of my generation about something."

Gong Yu glanced at a post placed in front of Dai Ruyan while eating the pastry and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"It's nothing, it's just..."

"It's the post your Fourth Highness received before the assassination." Gong Quan said it first.

"Then this is a challenge letter?" Gong Yu stretched out her hand to pick up the post, but she didn't want to replace Ruyan but said: "This is a bit uncomfortable, you'd better not read it."

He didn't succeed, and since Gong Quan was here, Gong Yu had no choice but to give up and ask, "Then Brother San Huang was wronged?"

"The third brother's reaction today is probably true that he has connections with that assassination sect."

"Won't the father be very angry?"

Gong Quan poured the tea and took a sip, frowned slightly and looked at the tea, "Ms. Dai's tea here is as bitter as ever."

Is it bitter?

In the past, Gong Yu also felt that the tea she drank on behalf of Ruyan was extraordinarily bitter, but it seemed that this feeling gradually disappeared.

Could it be that you got used to it after suffering?

Gong Yu picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. She couldn't help feeling confused, and took another sip of the tea, only to be sure that the tea seemed a bit sweet.

Dai Ruyan at the side watched Gong Yu's little move, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Bitter tea is naturally bitter, after all, good medicine tastes bitter."

Gong Quan frowned and drank the tea in the cup, then put down the cup and said, "Third brother is afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of it, but father and king hate brothers to kill each other the most, especially poisoning, buying murder is the most taboo."

"This time, Chen Ming, the minister of the Dali Temple who has always been upright and upright, proposed it. It is tantamount to conclusive evidence. That's why the father is so angry."

While listening, Gong Yu brought up the tea in front of her and poured another cup, and took a sniff of the tea. The tea had a faint fragrance, and she could not feel the bitterness after drinking it.

After repeated research, Gong Yu came to the conclusion that the tea Dai Ruyan gave her was not the same kind of tea that Gong Quan drank.

So this proves that there are still differences between people.

As if drinking honey, Gong Yu held the teacup in front of her and drank cup after cup, probably this is the so-called tea not intoxicating.

When Gong Quan left, Gong Yu hiccupped, and Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "If you really like this tea, I'll send some to your house."

"Okay." Gong Yu replied with a smile.

"You, let's go inside." Dai Ruyan got up and straightened her clothes and said, "Your injury is just right, it's too cold outside."

Gong Yu put down the teacup she held in her hand and followed Dai Ruyan, and looked at Dai Ruyan who was dressed in milky white clothes with bent eyebrows. She obviously didn't drink wine, but she seemed to be drunk.

Dare to hold Dai Ruyan's hand lightly, but fortunately Dai Ruyan just held Gong Yu's hand back, Gong Yu took a deep breath with her heartbeat that was running wildly, but couldn't control the corners of her mouth that rose.

Like an idiot, he couldn't stop thinking in his head, Dai Ruyan's hands are really soft and slippery!
