Accidentally married Miss Queen [Time Traveling]

Dai Ruyan's sudden low mood made it hard for Gong Yu to mention it, so she quickly comforted her: "It's fine if Ayan doesn't remember, I'll just ask."

"By the way, I have something else to ask Ayan."

Gong Yu diverted her attention and said.

Dai Ruyan lightly rubbed Gong Yu's cheeks, his eyes were blurred, and he calmed down a few times before he asked, "What's the matter?"

"That day we went to the end of the second princess's banquet. I met a man in black in the sedan chair, but the man in black just knocked me out and then ran away."

"I thought that Ayan also sent hidden guards to follow me on weekdays, so did Ayan's hidden guards notice anything wrong?"

Dai Ruyan distanced herself slightly and said worriedly: "There is such a thing? Why didn't Xiaojiu tell me earlier?"

Gong Yu hurriedly responded: "Ayan, don't worry, I just don't want to make things big, besides, I'm still doing well right now."

"That day when the servant girl informed me that you were suspected of being knocked unconscious, I sent someone to investigate, but the accompanying hidden guards did not find anything wrong."

"I want to come and see you. The next day you will leave the mansion together with Mr. Qin." Dai Ruyan paused slightly and said, "I watched you and that Zhao Anyue smiling lightly on the streets of the capital from the sedan chair. , I thought you never noticed the abnormality, so it never disturbed you."

"Ayan came to see me?" Gong Yu sat cross-legged and asked in confusion, "Then why didn't the housekeeper tell me?"

...figs, shredded yam, kiwi fruit, Yili yogurt, hawthorn slices, durian, spirit fish, stewed pork ribs with yam, ear roots...

Dai Ruyan delicately stroked Gong Yu's drooping hand with her fingertips and said softly: "Stupid, I said I saw you in the sedan chair, so I guessed that you would not be able to return to the mansion for a while, so I turned back."

"The dark guard told me at night that Xiao Jiu and the little girl Zhao Anyue walked around the capital for most of the day, talking and laughing."

"Talking and laughing?" Gong Yu shook his head and explained solemnly: "A Yan's secret guard must have made a mistake, I kept a safe distance from that Zhao Anyue, and I was only in the shop in the capital because I was looking for some items. Hang around here, Mr. Qin can testify for me."

"Then Xiaojiu is still investigating the murder case of Minister of Criminal Affairs?" Dai Ruyan sat aside and asked.

Gong Yuwei leaned on Dai Ruyan and said: "Yes, but Brother Da Huang proposed to block the streets and arrest them wantonly, and it feels like everything is getting more and more chaotic."

Or because it was almost dusk, the whole sky was dyed orange, Gong Yu looked away, and stretched out his hand to grab the hand of Dai Ruyan who made trouble.

Dai Ruyan didn't poke Gong Yu's palm anymore, but let Gong Yu grab her own palm and said, "Why is Xiao Jiu sure that this case has something to do with the case of leaking questions?"

"I don't know the details. I just guess that this case and the case of leaking questions happened at the same time. It may be related. Second, Mr. Qin's friend Jin Zhaowen was also the subject of this scientific examination. The examinee, suspected of contacting the person who leaked the question, fell into the water and died of inexplicable drunkenness."

"It's just that the cause of the candidate Jin Zhaowen's death can't be found." Gong Yu sighed and said, "And now there is another Zhao Anyue, and now I have such a headache that I dare not go out."

Dai Ruyan smiled and held Gong Yu's hand and said: "The Dali Temple is fully responsible for these two cases, Xiao Jiu might as well put it down for now, maybe it will be clear in a few days."

"It can only be the

Gong Yu sighed, and lazily fell back on the bamboo couch.

The pink peach blossoms on the top seemed to be colored by the brilliance of the sunset, Gong Yu lightly held Dai Ruyan's hanging hand with her fingertips and said, "Ah Yan also come up to lie down with me, okay?"

"Okay." Dai Ruyan responded, and then lay flat on one side.

The breeze swayed the peach blossom branches, and even pieces of peach blossoms floated down.

Gong Yu turned her head and saw a lot of petals left on Dai Ruyan's aqua-blue slightly loose robe, she leaned up slightly and stretched out her hand to carefully caress the peach blossom petals, seeing Dai Ruyan still closed her eyes like It's like Sleeping Beauty.

Unable to help playing tricks, Gong Yu propped her body up with her hands, leaned slightly closer, and stroked Dai Ruyan's stretched brows to the nose with her fingertips, and then circled to Dai Ruyan's brows.

Dai Ruyan still kept her eyes closed, but raised the corners of her mouth slightly and whispered softly: "If you keep messing around, I won't lie down with you anymore."

Gong Yu smiled and moved his hand away, An Fen lay on his side and responded: "I will go to Dai Yuan tomorrow, do I have any presents to prepare?"

"What are you bringing presents for?"

"Wouldn't it be impolite to visit with empty hands?"

Dai Ruyan turned his head slightly to look at Gong Yu and said, "Then I want you to bring back the pastries you made for me."

Gong Yu was slightly taken aback and said, "That's it?"

"Otherwise, why don't you ask Xiao Jiu to bring me a hundred boxes of jewelry?"

"If Ayan really wants it, I'll ask the servants in the mansion to tidy it up, maybe it's really possible to toss it out."

Dai Ruyan tapped Gong Yu lightly with her fingertips and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Anyway, you'll be here tomorrow."

"That's good." Gong Yu replied with a smile, her eyes fell on Dai Ruyan's lips, she couldn't help itching and asked closely: "Ah Yan, why didn't you put on those rouge powder?"

But Dai Ruyan's fingertips lightly touched his forehead, and Dai Ruyan raised his eyebrows and said, "You little pervert, what are you thinking about?"

Gong Yu looked away guiltily, stretched out his hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand, kissed the back of his parent Dai Ruyan's hand flatteringly and said: "No random thoughts, I only think about Ayan in my head, nothing else is important."

"Don't try to coax me with these sweet words."

Dai Ruyan smiled, then withdrew his hand from Gong Yu's palm, turned to sit on the side and said: "It's getting late, I can't stay long."

"Are you leaving now?" Gong Yu sat up, reached out and pulled Dai Ruyan's sleeve and said, "Ah Yan is angry?"

"If I don't go back, the matchmakers at the gate of your mansion will probably spread gossip about you and me all over the capital."

Gong Yu smiled and said: "That's fine, I'll drop by tomorrow to propose marriage to the prime minister?"

Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu, reached out and pinched Gong Yu's cheek and said, "Okay, but father will not be in Dai Yuan tomorrow, so let's wait another day for the marriage proposal."

"Tomorrow's generation garden is rarely crowded and quiet. I just want to show Xiaojiu around."

Gong Yu never thought that Dai Ruyan would accept the proposal of marriage so frankly, without even the slightest excitement in his eyes.

Even though she has realized that Dai Ruyan may lack emotional expression, she still feels very empty in her heart.

As the sky was getting darker, Dai Ruyan moved his eyes to Gong Yu who was bowing his head, raised his hand to caress Gong Yu's bundled hair and said softly: "Why don't you talk?"

"Proposing marriage should be discussed in the long term. Although Xiaojiu can propose marriage right now, my father can't stop my choice, but right now all the highnesses and the forces in the court are still waiting for the emperor's attitude." Dai Ruyan said slowly, thumb Gently scratching Gongyu's ear, she seemed to comfort her and said:

"So once you come to propose marriage, it is tantamount to exposing Xiao Jiu to danger. This is a very dangerous thing."

Dai Ruyan lowered her head slightly as she spoke, her lips pressed against Gong Yu's forehead, and said softly, "I can't risk Xiao Jiu's safety, it's absolutely impossible."

Gong Yu felt that although Dai Ruyan's kiss was a little cold, but Dai Ruyan's words fell on Gong Yu's heart with scorching heat, and Gong Yu found it difficult to breathe even though every word was hot.

The breeze blowing by the ear couldn't relieve Gong Yu's hot face, Dai Ruyan smiled gently and opened the distance:

"I really should leave. I'll wait for you in Daiyuan tomorrow."

"En." Gong Yu replied with a red face, then hurriedly got up and followed Dai Ruyan.

Dai Ruyan was puzzled and said, "You want to send me off?"

Gong Yu nodded and said: "I'll deal with those matchmakers so that Ayan can leave easily."

"Little clever." Dai Ruyan smiled and walked on.

The hall was brightly lit, and lights were hung in the long corridor. Gong Yu asked people to open the side door, and saw the group of matchmakers rushing in. Several servants were shocked by the fighting power of these middle-aged aunts.

Fortunately, the door on the other side was opened, and Dai Ruyan's sedan chair walked slowly away in front of Gong Yu, until the night covered Gong Yu's sight.

Gong Yu slept a little late the next morning, and hurriedly changed her robes to go to the morning court, only to find that an official was missing when she entered the hall.

The emperor asked seriously: "Where is the Minister of the Household Department?"

"Report!"

"What's the noise in the hall?"

"Your Majesty, Minister of the Household Department was stabbed several times in the body and died in the sedan chair early this morning."

The hall suddenly boiled, and all the officials were whispering and showing panic.

"Criminals killed court officials one after another, yet there is no news from Dali Temple. If the minister of Dali Temple can't bring the murderer to justice within one month, Chen Ming will suspend his post and investigate!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Gong Yu hadn't recovered yet, and at the end of the morning court, the scattered officials in the palace road were walking in small groups.

When leaving the palace, the sun was hidden in the clouds and never came out. Gong Yu originally changed into a newly made robe just to go to Daiyuan.But the cause of Hubu Shangshu's death still echoed in his head, so Gong Yu had no choice but to ride around to the place where Hubu Shangshu's body was.

Not far from the imperial palace, Gong Yu dismounted and led the horse in his hand to look around at the crowd of onlookers.

The smell of blood in the sedan chair was simply disgusting, Qin Hua walked over when he saw Gong Yu and said, "Didn't Your Highness say that you are going to make an appointment on behalf of the girl today?"

Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I'll go later, I'm just here to have a look."

"The cause of death of Hubu Shangshu is different from that of Xingbu Shangshu. He died of excessive blood loss after his throat was cut, and this sedan chair is much larger than that of Xingbu Shangshu."

"Naturally, the Minister of the Household Department is a fat job." Zhao Anyue burst out.

Qin Hua looked at the surrounding guards of Dali Temple who were investigating the case and said in a low voice: "I came to them first. I didn't find any scentless drugs in the sedan chair, but only a piece of cloth."

Gong Yu looked sideways at Qin Hua and said, "Is the color of the cloth similar to the sedan chair of the Household Minister?"

"Yes."

Zhao Anyue leaned closer and said, "What do you know, little boy?"

"It's nothing." Gong Yu looked sideways at the people around, then led the horse and said, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Going around the street alone, Gong Yu followed a little beggar who had been hiding among the people before.

I saw that the little beggar was very familiar with the big and small streets of the capital, and Gong Yu lost him after making rounds and turns.

Helpless, Gong Yu had no choice but to ask the guard to draw a rough outline of the little beggar's figure, and then walked towards Dai Garden, with the clatter of horseshoes, passing by the bustling city that was usually bustling, but now it was much quieter.

Daiyuan is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, Gongyu dismounted and stopped in front of the mansion gate, holding steaming pastries in his hand.

The door of the mansion opened, and the servant smiled and said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, please come inside."

I remember when I came here for the first time, Gong Yu felt that this Daiyuan was really luxurious, and the countless pavilions inside were like a city within a city.

It's just that it's still early in the day, and there are many slaves and servants in this generation's garden, but it's very quiet.

Every time you go to the depths, the servant who leads the way is changed. It can be said that there are layers of precautions. When you step into the garden full of pear blossoms, you are already a delicate maid.

"Your Highness Nine, the girl is waiting inside." The maid stopped outside the garden, Gong Yu thanked her and walked in alone.

The pear blossoms that catch the eye are blooming like snow, Gong Yu's footsteps are very light, and the sound of gurgling water in the garden can be vaguely heard.

The sun peeked out from the clouds, but it wasn't too hot at this time, and the closer Gong Yu walked, the more he felt the sound of the water was very close.

When she saw the pavilion revealed, Gong Yu walked quickly, and Dai Ruyan was sitting in the pavilion with a book in her hands.

"I thought you would come only after seeing the pear blossoms." Dai Ruyan turned his head slightly and said to Gong Yu.

Gong Yu shook her head and said: "I didn't even look at it a few times, all I could think about was where Ayan was hiding, why didn't she come out?"

Dai Ruyan smiled and said: "Nonsense, I was waiting for you here, where did I hide?"

"Why is it so deserted in this garden today?" Gong Yu asked as she came out with a cake and said, "Ayan, try it, it's still warm right now."

"Today, my father took everyone to worship at the Dai's ancestral hall. Most women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. Naturally, the mansion is very quiet."

Gong Yu sat at the side holding the cake and handed it to Dai Ruyan's mouth and said, "Try this is my new one."

Dai Ruyan tasted it and asked, "Why is this pastry so fluffy?"

"Secret." Gong Yu took a bite of the pastry and responded mischievously.

After all, in order to prepare these pastries, Gong Yu really stayed up late last night.

Dai Ruyan put down the book in his hand and asked, "What is this white thing you eat?"

Gong Yu listened, then picked up the butter bread in his hand and approached it and said: "This is sweet, Ayan might not like it."

"I'll try it." Before Gong Yu could react, Dai Ruyan leaned closer and took a bite of the butter bread in Gong Yu's hand.

This intimate and provocative action almost melted Gong Yu's heart, Gong Yu stared blankly at the cream Dai Ruyan took a small bite of in her hand, and asked with a racing heart, "Is it delicious?"

"It's really too sweet." Dai Ruyan took a sip from the side and said, "Why does Xiao Jiu like sweets so much?"

Gong Yu watched Dai Ruyan drink the tea, and couldn't help swallowing, feeling very embarrassed.

"I like it. I like sweets since I was a child." Gong Yu avoids Dai Ruyan's inquiring eyes, bites the butter in a panic, and responds vaguely.

Dai Ruyan held the celadon teacup and looked sideways at Gong Yu and said, "But sweets are easy to get tired of."

"No, there are many kinds of sweets." Gong Yu thought for a while and said, "Spicy can also be spicy, spicy, or hot and sour."

"Greedy ghost, it's only early in the morning, and all you can think about is eating." Dai Ruyan said with a smile.

Um...it seems to be a bit off topic.

Gong Yu sat sideways and looked around. There was no end to the pear blossoms, as if she was in a sea of ​​flowers.

It is almost impossible to imagine that this is just a corner of the entire Dai Garden. Dai Ruyan gently held Gong Yu's jaw with her fingertips, turned back to Gong Yu to look outside and said, "Didn't you see enough when you came here?"

"No, I just think Daiyuan is really big."

"Then Xiaojiu guesses whether Daiyuan is bigger or the Capital Palace is bigger?"

Gong Yu said hesitantly: "It should be from the Capital Palace, right?"

Dai Ruyan smiled, stroking Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and replied: "The answer is wrong, so Xiao Jiu will be punished."

"What punishment?"

"Just punish Xiao Jiu to drink a cup of bitter tea."

"All right"

Gong Yu frowned and drank a cup of bitter tea, feeling that her tongue was no longer her own.

Dai Ruyan switched to other pastries, but only tasted one bite each time.

After eating the whole plate of pastries, Gong Yu's stomach, which was almost full, felt uncomfortable.

"Is your stomach hurting?"

"Well, kind of."

Gong Yu stood up, walked around the pavilion slowly, looked at the lake not far away and asked curiously: "Did Ayan play hide-and-seek in this mansion when he was a child?"

Dai Ruyan shook his head and stood aside and said, "I was not in this mansion when I was young, but in Changzhou."

Changzhou?Gong Yu also sent people to Changzhou to investigate Dai Ruyan's childhood, but they still returned in vain.

There is no trace of the two maidservants, and even Gong Yu doubts how that Qing Shui'er found out about Dai Ruyan.

"What is Xiaojiu thinking?" Dai Ruyan's eyes searched Gong Yu's face, and he held Gong Yu's arm with his palm and said, "How many times have I called you just now?"

Gong Yu came back to her senses and smiled and said: "I was wondering if Ayan was also mischievous when I was young."

Dai Ruyan followed suit with a smile, but the smile on his face was very shallow. He looked at the flat lake and said softly: "When I was young, I mostly studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the garden. I had a lot of homework every day, and I often stayed late at night Just fell asleep, and got up again when the cock crowed."

"Then isn't it very tiring?" Gong Yuhui held Dai Ruyan's warm and cool hand, clearly seeing that there was no other emotion on Dai Ruyan's face.

Dai Ruyan seemed to respond indifferently: "It will be fine once you get used to it."

When the sun got bigger, the mist on the lake would clear up, and Gong Yu's generation, Ru Yan, walked around the lake.

The conversation between the two failed to allow Gong Yu to find out any news about Dai Ruyan's childhood.

Gong Yu proposed to take a boat tour of the lake, and the two got into the boat. Gong Yu looked at the oars, tried and tried, and the boat slowly moved.

The surface of the lake was very calm, the breeze came slowly and wrinkled the surface of the lake, Gong Yu was shaking the oars, Dai Ruyan was sitting quietly opposite, with his hands down slightly across the water, his brows and eyes were relaxed.

As long as she watched like this, Gong Yu felt inexplicably in a good mood, as if she took Dai Ruyan away from the political struggle in the capital, and there were no bizarre murders, just the two of them as companions.

The boat was getting closer and closer to the center of the lake, Gong Yu stood up and said, "Look, Ayan, I can already row a boat."

Dai Ruyan held the lake lightly in his hand, looked at Gong Yu with a smile, but suddenly said, "Xiao Jiu actually wants to ask me something, right?"

Gong Yu was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder, did she show a flaw somewhere?

"Why don't I understand what Ayan is talking about?" Gong Yu stood on the boat blankly, and the steps that she originally wanted to walk towards Dai Ruyan gradually slowed down.

At this moment, the strange aura emanating from Dai Ruyan made Gong Yu feel a little scared.

Dai Ruyan stared at Gong Yu's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Then why did Xiao Jiu send someone to Changzhou to investigate my childhood?"

Gong Yu only felt that she had no secrets in front of Dai Ruyan, and Dai Ruyan clearly understood her every move.

"Because... I want to know what happened to Ayan when she was young?"

"If Xiaojiu wants to know, can't you just ask me?" Dai Ruyan seemed to be relaxed, and she got up slightly and walked towards Gongyu.

The boat swayed slightly with the wind on the lake, but Dai Ruyan walked over very steadily step by step.

Until Dai Ruyan stopped in front of Gong Yu, stretched out his hand to lightly hold Gong Yu's hand and said, "I don't like Xiao Jiu hiding things from me, if you have anything to ask, Xiao Jiu can ask now."

Gong Yu breathed gently, only felt that Dai Ruyan's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and looked sideways at the lake and asked, "Does Ayan really have a younger sister?"

"Of course there is."

Dai Ruyan's eyes were so sincere and sincere that Gong Yu couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

"But why didn't I find any news about Sister Ayan?"

"My younger sister is not recognized by the Dai family." Dai Ruyan's eyes were calm, but rarely showed sadness.

Gong Yu stared blankly at Dai Ruyan and asked, "Why?"

Dai Ruyan hugged Gong Yu lightly and said in a low voice. "This is a matter of the Dai family, and has nothing to do with Xiao Jiu."

"But why no one has heard of A Yan's sister?"

"Because my younger sister was in poor health, she had a very serious illness, so she was locked up when she was a child, and she never left Dai's house until she died."

Gong Yu could clearly feel that Dai Ruyan's body was cold, and stretched out her arms to hug Dai Ruyan and asked, "Then, can Ayan tell me about your sister?"

"Of course, as long as Xiao Jiu wants to hear it, I will only tell Xiao Jiu."

Dai Ruyan was sitting in the middle of the boat with Gong Yu in his arms, the lake was flowing slowly, and the boat was also floating.

"My younger sister is younger than me because we are twins. She has been weak since she was a child, and she is even easily frightened. She often needs my company to fall asleep in the middle of the night." Dai Ruyan's voice was very soft, which even made Gong Yu feel that Dai Ruyan Ruyan is describing her sister very gently.

"But her health is getting worse and worse. She is sick all day and can't get visits from her mother, and her father doesn't pay much attention to it."

Dai Ruyan stopped at this point, clasped Gong Yu's fingers tightly with her fingertips and said in a low voice: "So whenever Xiao Jiu is not in good health, I am very worried."

Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and asked, "Then what happened after that?"

"After a few years like this, my sister's temperament became more and more strange. She stopped laughing and cried all night. The more her mother disliked her, the more she cried."

Dai Ruyan took a deep breath and said, "Even in the old house of Dai's family, her crying was heard all night. She started not eating, and gradually became skinny. She was sick and could only lie in bed all night In that little attic."

"I adopted a cat, thinking that maybe the cat would accompany my sister, and she would be happy."

"But……"

Seeing the sadness in Dai Ruyan's eyes, Gong Yu felt distressed and reached out to touch Dai Ruyan's cheek.

Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand with a forced smile and said, "It's okay, everything is over."

"I thought my sister would get better one day, but one morning I found my sister in the dark attic. She screamed and went crazy, but I couldn't understand what she was calling, until she suddenly lost her voice, the whole The person quietly and obediently collapsed on the bed and fell asleep like this."

The words stopped abruptly, Gong Yu guessed that Dai Ruyan fell asleep, maybe her sister died.

Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes and hugged Gong Yu tightly and said in a low voice: "Until my sister died, my father and mother never looked at my sister, because they said it was a disgrace to the Dai family, so no one outside knew about my sister." .”

"Xiao Jiu can't tell others about this, you know?"

Gong Yu nodded, and Dai Ruyan lightly rubbed Gong Yu's cheek with his forehead, as if to ease the atmosphere and said: "Okay, I've already told Xiao Jiu what Xiao Jiu needs to know."

"Then where is sister Ayan buried?"

"Changzhou."

Dai Ruyan twirled Gong Yu's sleeve with her fingertips and said in a low voice, "Father dealt with my sister secretly, and even I couldn't find it."

Or when the sun was getting brighter, Gong Yu would row the boat to the shore, and Dai Ruyan's expression slowly calmed down.

Gong Yu felt that the existence of Dai Ruyan's younger sister might be true, Dai Ruyan said it very seriously, there was no sign of lying at all, and there was even a sad look in Dai Ruyan's eyes.

It's just that Gong Yu never heard Dai Ruyan mention those two maidservants from the beginning to the end.

Gong Yu hesitated and asked: "Ayan, did you ever know that two maidservants in your house died?"

Dai Ruyan did not turn around and replied, "I have never heard of it."

Never heard of it?

Could it be Qing Shui'er trying to slander Dai Ruyan?

Thinking about it this way, Gong Yu felt that it might be possible, after all, Qing Shui'er's state at that time was no different from crazy.

On the other side, Dai Ruyan, with his palms hanging down on the side of the boat, lightly grasped the water flowing in his hands, his eyes flickered as if calculating, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised inadvertently.

The face reflected on the lake surface suddenly became calm again.

When returning from Daiyuan, Gong Yu's heart suddenly became brighter, and then she went back to the mansion.

The accompanying guards sent people to search for the little beggar, and reported that the little beggar had sneaked into His Royal Highness Gongquan's mansion, and hadn't come out since then.

Gong Yu was drinking tea, and couldn't help but bewildered that if His Highness wanted to find out the news, why would he send a little beggar?

The next day I talked to Qin Hua about this matter, Qin Hua also couldn't explain it: "His Royal Highness and the Minister of the Household Department have never been close, but it should be His Highness the Sixth Highness who married the Minister of the Household Department's daughter, and the relationship should be quite close."

"Sir, do you mean that the deceased Minister of the Household Department married the Sixth Brother?"

"Yes, since His Highness the Third and Fourth Highness's power retreated, His Highness Six has been secretly trying to win over power, and marriage is one of the methods."

Gong Yu put down the teacup and said, "Which minister or prince is the closest member of the Shangshu Family of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment did not fight for power with the imperial court. He discussed state affairs with the Taifu more on weekdays, and he got closer to His Highness. I heard that the youngest daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was taken into His Highness as a concubine. "

Qin Hua thought for a moment.

"Why do the ministers in the court want to give their daughters to others as concubines?"

Qin Hua smiled and said: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that if any of His Highness becomes the future emperor, these daughters are no longer concubines, but concubines, and if they give birth to princes, they are more likely to be the future Emperor of the Palace Kingdom .”

Gong Yu said helplessly: "So this is why there are so many matchmakers in front of the mansion recently?"

"Your Highness has reached the marriageable age. If you don't want to marry a wife, at least you have to take a concubine so that people won't miss you."

"Let them worry about it." Gong Yu picked up the small piece of Wuxiang and said, "I asked someone to check the usual responsibilities of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and found that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was in charge of supervising the examination places during the previous imperial examinations. safety, and if there are cheaters, they will be reviewed by the head of the Ministry of Punishment.”

"However, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments fell ill during the imperial examination, and even asked for leave due to illness when the case of leaking questions came out."

"Yeah, how could there be such a coincidence."

Gong Yu got up and said: "The cause of death of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is that he was drugged first and then stabbed to death by a sharp knife, so temporarily overturning the possibility that the murderer was a master in the first place, maybe the murderer knew martial arts but was small in stature, so he needed the help of Wuxiang to attack .And Shangshu Hubu directly sealed his throat with a knife, and there was no fragrance at the scene, so this may be two groups of people."

"Why did Your Highness say that?" Qin Hua asked in confusion.

"If the previous batch wanted to create panic, at least the second murder case must maintain the same modus operandi. But this second batch is pure murder. One kill is either a killer or a master. Maybe someone is taking advantage of this time to stir up trouble. Woolen cloth."

Qin Hua fell into deep thought and said: "If this is the case, then Dali Temple may be busy for a while."

Half a month later, in early summer, the capital city was already full of trees, but there were a few murders and people were panicking.

Even the collection of banquet poems was much less than in previous years. The second princess probably had nothing to do and set up several banquets. Gong Yu was blocked by matchmakers and it was difficult to go out. In addition, Zhao Anyue was very annoying, so she refused several times. go.

Of course the most important thing is that Dai Ruyan didn't go to the banquet, and Gong Yu didn't have anything to worry about.

It was the end of another morning, and Chen Ming, the Minister of Dali Temple, was scolded bloody by the emperor. Gong Yu walked over and said, "These murders happened together, which is really a headache."

Chen Ming straightened his official robes and said, "At present, the struggle for power and profit in the court is becoming more and more ferocious, His Highness the Ninth Prince should stay away from criminal officials."

"Master Chen, what are you talking about?" Gong Yu approached and said, "There is still half a month left, Master Chen must not be discouraged."

"This hot weather is even crueler than in previous years. Right now, the corpses of the two adults are already rotten, but the murderer has no sign, and even seems to have disappeared from the world. How can we find out?" Chen Ming held the black hat in his hand. sighed.

After talking for a long time, Chen Ming left on his own, Gong Yu wiped the sweat off his cheek and watched Chen Ming walk away.

His Highness the Fifth Prince said: "Why should Xiao Jiu worry about this, Mr. Chen is an old bone, and he can't be persuaded."

Gong Yu looked sideways at His Highness Fifth and said, "Xiao Jiu just wants to share the worries of the father."

"Xiao Jiu still seldom sees such things in the court hall. Human life is the least valuable thing here." His Highness Fifth smiled and said.

That's right, Gong Yu couldn't tell how many people had died since coming here.

Out of the palace in a daze, Zhao Anyue walked over in a pink dress with an umbrella in her hand.

Gong Yu didn't realize it at first, but she walked alone, knowing that Zhao Anyue shouted angrily: "Little white face, can't you see me?"

"Yes, I can't see you."

Zhao Anyue's eyes widened in anger, Gong Yu didn't take care of it, she just walked forward on her own.

"Why don't you go to your second sister's banquet these few days? I thought you were busy."

"Whether I go or not has nothing to do with you?"

Gong Yu led the horse while walking, thinking whether to go to Dai Ruyan's for a meeting.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Anyue was like a fly, muttering non-stop at the side.

After walking two whole streets, Gong Yu couldn't take it anymore and said, "Miss Zhao, are you not afraid of being criticized by others if you follow me all day?"

Zhao Anyue was taken aback, and said, "What am I afraid of, you are not married and I am not married."

Gong Yu had no choice but to accept Zhao Anyue's brain circuit, so she could only say, "I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Anyue leaned closer, tilted her umbrella to Gong Yu's side and said, "Although you seem powerless and powerless, you have lived well in court for so long, which means that there is nothing wrong with your mind."

amount……

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be rumors that you will leave a message with me. Why don't you girls know how to cherish your reputation?"

What Gong Yu said was serious.

But Zhao Anyue laughed, holding an umbrella in her hand and said, "Now the rumors circulating in the whole capital are not about me and you, but about you and that generational girl."

"What do you want to say?"

Zhao Anyue sighed and said, "I figured it out, there's nothing wrong with your brain, it's just that your thoughts are too simple."

Gong Yu said disapprovingly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Now the government and the public are just you and His Royal Highness Gongquan, but you see that you don't have a single stain on your body now, but you must know that in this court hall full of muddy water and silt, no one can be clean."

"I want to say that there are people behind you covering you, and you are like a puppet, harmless and at the mercy of others. I find it funny when I look at it."

Gong Yu led the horse and looked at the malicious Zhao Anyue and said, "Last time you provoked me to be with you... Miss Dai, come here again this time, what exactly are you thinking?"

Zhao Anyue put away the umbrella with a sneer, and snorted angrily, "Provocation?"

"You look as if your brain has been kicked by a donkey. Is it possible that Dai Ruyan has taken a liking to your little boy? Their grandparents have wanted power for generations, and now they are powerful. You, the last puppet of the last generation, just happen to be the end of the Gong family. the emperor's position."

Gong Yu held the reins tightly, kicked Zhao Anyue's eyes, then got on the horse and said, "Yes, Miss Zhao has a good brain, and she has never been kicked by a donkey, please get out of the way, please?"

Before Zhao Anyue could reply, Gong Yu rode quickly to Dai Ruyan's courtyard.

The galloping horses were disgusted by a burst of dust, and when Zhao Anyue Gongyu slowed down again, the word "puppet" kept echoing in his head.

Gong Yu couldn't help shaking her head again, and said in a low voice: "A Yan is not this kind of person."

Passing through the criss-crossing streets of the capital, Gong Yu could see the courtyard from a distance, and directly entered the courtyard after dismounting.

The courtyard was very cool, Gong Yu walked slowly with a relaxed breath, and met Bi Yu with a few maidservants at the corner.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, it's been a while since you've come."

Gong Yu didn't mind this Biyu's pungent personality, and asked softly, "How long have you been with your lady?"

"Naturally, the young lady followed me when she was in the capital."

Biyu said quite proudly.

"Didn't you follow the maidservant since childhood?" Gong Yu asked a little strangely.

Biyu shook her head and said, "Of course not, Miss was in Changzhou before and I didn't send her to my hometown."

"So that's the case." Gong Yu smiled and turned to walk into the hall.

Then why didn't Dai Ruyan bring the maid from Changzhou's hometown to the capital?

Confusion popped up in Gong Yu's head, she reached out to push the door, but when she heard the second princess Gong Ling's hearty laughter, she pushed the door open, and the two people inside looked over.

"Yo, Xiao Jiu didn't come to my banquet, but she came here very diligently." The second princess Gong Ling's eyes were particularly obvious.

Fortunately, Dai Ruyan opened his mouth to untie the circle and said, "It's hot outside, so come in and sit down."

The guilty Gong Yu hurriedly responded: "Hey."

The three sat in the courtyard near the water, Gong Yu drank tea and tasted a few pastries, and the rest had no chance to speak at all.

"When the weather isn't so hot in a few days, I'm going to prepare for the lake tour banquet. Miss Dai, don't say that you have something to do this time." The second princess Gong Ling said with tea.

Dai Ruyan looked sideways at the lake outside and said, "I'm not a girl in a boudoir now, and I've lost interest in swimming in the lake for a long time, Second Sister should spare me."

Gong Yu only felt that Dai Ruyan hadn't finished speaking, and Gong Yu's eyes were fixed on this side.

"Xiao Jiu, although you are tall, how can you stay in the mansion all this time?"

"Although I am in the mansion, I still study poetry and books every day, and I have never given up on riding and shooting, and I have been practicing hard."

Gong Ling said with a smile:
