The trousers were dripping with water, and Dai Ruyan dragged her into the cabin. Gong Yu could vaguely hear the sound of bells, drums and zithers in the cabin of the Second Princess, and she turned around and said, "Second Sister Huang, who Ayan knows. What does it look like?"
Dai Ruyan was holding the medicine in Gong Yu's hand, the cabin was very quiet, not even a maidservant.
"Extraordinarily intelligent and skillful." Dai Ruyan daubed the ointment on Gong Yu's fair wrist carefully with his fingertips.
"So Ah Yan already knew that the Second Royal Sister was also involved?"
"I'm just guessing."
"Then, has Ayan seen this jade pendant?" Gong Yu asked, taking out the jade pendant she was carrying with her.
Dai Ruyan didn't look over, but sighed deeply and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu thinks that even if the capital case is found, can the murderer be brought to justice?"
Gong Yu shook her head and said: "I know I can't, but I want to know how many forces are circling and entangled in this court."
"I want to know how frantic they will be in order to put their power down?"
"So what if you know?" Dai Ruyan tied the gauze, held the scissors and cut the remaining piece of gauze and said softly: "The royal family has been like this for generations, let alone the ministers who are willing to be their pawns?"
"Xiao Jiu should understand that you and I are in such a complicated world, we are already out of control, unless..."
"Unless what?" Gong Yu asked eagerly.
Dai Ruyan stroked Gong Yu's cool face lightly with his fingertips and said: "Xiao Jiu sits on the dragon chair and holds the power of life and death, and I can help Xiao Jiu get rid of those hidden in the root of the court step by step. poisonous insect."
"When Ayan said to get rid of them, did they kill them batch by batch?"
"How can you deter the officials if you don't kill them? If you want to become an emperor, you must be cruel and decisive. Indecision will cause more serious consequences."
Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I'm not suitable to be an emperor, and I don't want to solve problems by killing."
Dai Ruyan smiled and said: "I know, so since Xiao Jiu also knows that he can't, then he should calm down now and investigate the complicated and chaotic forces in it from the dark, instead of just stupidly getting on a pirate ship."
"Okay, quickly change your wet robe, or you will definitely get sick."
"Okay." Gong Yu walked around the screen with her clothes in her arms, and Dai Ruyan outside was sitting on the side drinking tea, stroking the jade pendant that Gong Yu had brought out earlier.
After Gong Yu changed her clothes and came out, Dai Ruyan put down the jade pendant in her hand, looked back and asked, "Does this clothes fit?"
"It's pretty good, I like the color too." Gong Yu raised her arms and looked at the cuffs, and she also felt that they were very delicate.
Of course, what's more important is that this light blue robe is very similar to the light blue gauze skirt that Ruyan is wearing today, and somehow feels like a couple's style.
Gong Yu approached, looked at the cakes on the side, and reached out to take a piece.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hands to untie the buttons on Gong Yu's collar and said with a smile: "How old are you, how can you tie it wrong?"
"Maybe I didn't pay attention to it." Gong Yu blushed inexplicably when she saw Dai Ruyan in front of her, and hurriedly stuffed the pastry in her hand into her mouth and said:
"Shall I do it myself?"
"Don't move around, I'll tie it up for you soon."
"Then... alright." Gong Yu straightened her back like a sculpture.
Dai Ruyan's eyebrows were full of seriousness, but the fragrance on her body made Gong Yu's heart beat fast.
In order not to think wildly, Gong Yu turned to think of what Zhao Anyue said on the boat, and said to herself: "I have some clues about the case of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Do you want me to sort it out, Ah Yan?"
Dai Ruyan gently stroked the folds of Ping Gongyu's robe with his fingers, then let go of his hands and said, "Xiao Jiu might as well talk and listen."
Gong Yu pulled Dai Ruyan to sit by the window and said, "I guess it was Brother Da Huang who sent someone to kill Minister of Punishment."
"But Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment can be regarded as the father-in-law of His Highness, why did His Highness kill him?"
"At first I was also confused about this, but the jade pendant I found from the dead man sent by the eldest brother turned to the second sister."
Dai Ruyan poured tea and sipped lightly, "It's just a jade pendant, but it's not enough to prove anything."
Gong Yu nodded and said: "This is just speculation, after all, there is no evidence for death."
"Perhaps the second sister is avenging the third brother." Gong Yu said while holding the tea, "The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is investigating the assassination of the fourth brother, and also testified that the third brother hired a murderer to kill."
"Then why did His Highness agree to send someone to assassinate Minister of Punishment because of the second princess' revenge?"
Dai Ruyan put down the teacup and asked: "After all, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is not low, and he is also a good pawn."
Gong Yu stopped and responded: "I guess Second Sister Huang might agree to give Brother Da Huang some benefits."
"Or maybe the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is not actually a pawn of the Highness, but a pawn of surrender, but in fact it is someone else's pawn behind the scenes. If this is the case, the elder brother kills the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, then there is no harm at all. All in all, the death of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is at least for the emperor. Brother only benefits."
"These little nines are just based on guesswork?" Dai Ruyan asked slightly surprised.
"That's right." Gong Yu peeled the peanut and said, "Although I went to inquire about the residence of the Minister of Punishment, but I am not a member of the Dali Temple who investigates the case, so it is not easy to conduct a thorough interrogation."
"However, I heard that Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment has always had a private house outside to raise concubines. Later, I asked someone to inquire and found that there were no concubines at all, and there was a secret passage in that private house."
Dai Ruyan tapped the low table with her fingertips and said, "I guess the secret passage leads directly to the scientific research site."
"Yes, so when the case of leaking questions arises, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice must die first."
Gong Yu handed the peeled peanuts to Dai Ruyan's palm and whispered, "It doesn't matter if the murderer's motive is to cover up people's eyes or to kill people."
"Xiao Jiu's words cannot be said to the outside world."
Gong Yu nodded and smiled, "I know, so I only told Ayan."
Dai Ruyan grasped Gong Yu's hand lightly in his palm, and said helplessly: "The more secrets you know about the court, the more dangerous it will be. Isn't Xiao Jiu usually very timid?"
"I'm afraid, but I don't want others to die unjustly." Gong Yu and Dai Ruyan looked at each other and said, "At present, it seems that when the case of leaking the title appeared, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly asked for sick leave. I knew I was in danger."
"Xiao Jiu's meaning?"
"I heard from the servant of the Ministry of Punishment that my lord recovered from his illness and went to the morning court. He was holding a small box in his hand in the early morning, but when he died, the small box was gone."
Gong Yu sighed and said, "Perhaps the list of persons involved in the Xieti case is hidden in that small box, or it may be the faction of the big brother's faction that Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment has contacted, but it is a pity that it is gone."
Dai Ruyan lightly pressed Gong Yu's palm with her fingertips and said, "Perhaps it was taken away by the murderer."
"I guess the murderer didn't get it either." Gong Yuhui held Dai Ruyan's hand, stretched out his hand and put peanuts one by one into the little butterfly beside him and said:
"Because the murderer hid the sedan chair that Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice used to go to the early court on weekdays, but it was still dark that day, and even before Mao's time, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice took another strange sedan chair to leave."
Dai Ruyan handed the peanut to Gong Yu's mouth and asked, "How did Xiao Jiu know about this?"
Gong Yu opened her mouth to eat peanuts and replied: "I sent someone to ask the watchman, but unexpectedly the watchman happened to bump into it, and said that a strange sedan chair came out of the back alley of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."
"What a coincidence."
"Yeah, so I speculate that the small box of Minister of the Ministry of Justice should be given to someone he feels safe. It was originally to save his life, but he was killed in the end."
The sound of the water outside the boat was getting louder, and both of them fell silent. Gong Yu caught a glimpse of a small plate of plums beside her, so she reached out and took one.
Unexpectedly, the plums were so sour, Gong Yu frowned for a long time before recovering, and Dai Ruyan sipped tea and said, "This plum is a sour plum through and through, does Xiao Jiu wake up after tasting it?"
Gong Yu couldn't believe that Dai Ruyan was gloating, and said innocently: "This plum is placed in front of me, why does Ayan watch me eat it and not remind me?"
"I didn't let you eat it, and besides, you ate it as soon as you reached out, did you ever ask me?"
Uh... this is something that people can't refute.
Dai Ruyan smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to gently rub Gong Yu's face. Gong Yu, who is dumb and eats coptis, took a sip of tea and said:
"The case of leaking questions caused different groups of forces in the court to protect themselves or eradicate the opponent's minions, but this is tantamount to self-mutilation. After all, training an official and being destroyed is a troublesome thing. Who will get the most out of it?"
"Xiao Jiu is so smart, you can think slowly." Dai Ruyan said with a smile and let go of her hand.
Gong Yu took another sip of tea and shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't even find anything strange among the newly appointed officials. It seems that everyone is standing still, like a big enemy."
Dai Ruyan held the jade pendant and said: "You can't see what happened in the courtroom in a while, you have to calm down and study them carefully, but maybe the second princess has clues."
"I dare not go." Gong Yu shook her head, only thinking that Dai Ruyan was playing some bad trick again.
"What?" Dai Ruyan said with a smile: "Didn't Xiao Jiu praise the second princess for her outstanding talent and appearance, and her generosity, and she is also admired by everyone on weekdays?"
Sure enough, Dai Ruyan was mentioning this on purpose.
Gong Yu drank tea and said: "Ayan, you are joking, if I really go again, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
"Could it be that Xiao Jiu is afraid that the second princess will swallow you?"
"I'm afraid." Gong Yu nodded her head and said, "Today I feel like I was almost swallowed alive by those girls on the cruise ship."
Dai Ruyan smiled and said: "Who made Xiaojiu so fair, let him get rid of it..."
The words came to an abrupt end, and Dai Ruyan's gaze leisurely stopped in front of Gong Yu, as if holding back a smile, he said: "Xiao Jiu eats so much on weekdays, but why does she only grow taller, and nothing else has changed at all. "
Never believing that Dai Ruyan would say such flirtatious words, Gong Yuhong focused on explaining: "Ayan, why did you become such a hooligan?"
Although it is a little small, what can Gong Yu do.
Dai Ruyan smiled lightly and said, "I'm not a hooligan, I'm just really curious."
"In the past, Xiao Jiu ate more than others, but except for a little flesh on his face, he never knew how thin he was."
What she said was as if Dai Ruyan had seen it, Gong Yu glanced sideways at the screen, only then did she know where the screen could cover what.
Although it is hazy, it should be seen clearly, but it is not bad at all.
Gong Yu turned her head to the side and stared at Dai Ruyan with a blushing face, only to see Dai Ruyan's expression remained the same, except for a little smile between his eyebrows, there was nothing else.
"Ayan, peeking at others changing clothes is not good."
"I just glanced at it lightly, so why peek?"
"Then why didn't you remind me?" Gong Yu just felt that today was really unlucky, so she got up and opened the window beside her to get some air.
Dai Ruyan put down the teacup and walked to the side and said softly, "Are you angry?"
"I'm very angry." Gong Yu responded by staring at the lake water.
Not only was she watched, but Dai Ruyan thought she was too small. Gong Yu felt that she could really consider jumping into the river, which was really shocking.
The palm was lightly held by Dai Ruyan, before Gong Yu came back to his senses, Dai Ruyan put his arm around Gong Yu and approached him and said, "If I had just reminded Xiao Jiu, wouldn't Xiao Jiu be stupid enough to keep wearing that drenched sweater?" your robes?"
"Furthermore, I just watched it after I saw it, and I'm not someone else. Could it be that Xiao Jiu treats me as an outsider?"
Gong Yu couldn't avoid it, and felt that Dai Ruyan's words were gentle and soft, like a goblin who confuses others, so she stared sideways at Dai Ruyan and said, "I don't."
"Then why are you still angry?" Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, rubbing her fingertips against Gong Yu's palm, her eyes were very clean.
However, Gong Yu couldn't stand Dai Ruyan the most, her pure and fatal charm was simply irresistible.
Even Dai Ruyan's other hand imprisoned Gong Yu and could not move. Their movements were extremely ambiguous, but Dai Ruyan was still not at all unnatural.
Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan's face and said with a blushing face, "But Ah Yan despises my little one."
Dai Ruyan was slightly surprised, and the corners of her lips raised lightly, "I don't dislike... Xiao, but this will better cover up Xiao Jiu's identity."
"Obviously there is." Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand tightly and said, "Ayan hesitated when he said it, obviously just to comfort me."
"But what I said is the truth." Dai Ruyan smiled and kissed Gong Yu's side face to comfort him, "Maybe when Xiao Jiu gets older, maybe there will be changes."
This truth is really sad.
Gong Yu blinked her eyes a few times, her eyes fell on Dai Ruyan's fair face, she lowered her head and kissed the lips that were close at hand.
When she stopped, Dai Ruyan distanced herself slightly and looked at Gong Yu in puzzlement, "Aren't you angry now?"
"I'm angry."
Gong Yu wanted to get closer, but Dai Ruyan gently held Gong Yu's cheek in his palm and said softly: "Then kiss again, Xiao Jiu will not be angry, okay?"
Before the words finished, Dai Ruyan leaned closer and kissed Gong Yu's lips lightly.
It's just that Dai Ruyan stayed for a while, and Gong Yu's heart beat wildly, and the delicate and beautiful feeling made Gong Yu obey as it should.
"Little Jiu, don't be angry, okay?" Dai Ruyan distanced herself a little and coaxed in a low voice.
Gong Yu also felt that Dai Ruyan always treated her like a child, so she bit the next Dai Ruyan's cheek in dissatisfaction and whispered: "Obviously I was the one being looked at, but why do I look like a vexatious child?"
Dai Ruyan was slightly taken aback by Gong Yu's small movements, gently rubbed the back of Gong Yu's neck with his palm, and hugged Gong Yu affectionately and replied:
"I was a child in the first place, and I can still satisfy Xiaojiu with this unreasonable trouble."
"A Yan said that I am a child, I am really angry." Gong Yu said dissatisfiedly leaning on Dai Ruyan.
"Okay, don't be angry, I just don't say anything."
Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's earlobe helplessly and said, "Xiao Jiu is an adult, and will still want to kiss an adult, is this okay?"
Gong Yu blushed even more after being told, she stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand pinching her earlobe, and looked at Dai Ruyan with a little distance.
Dai Ruyan's eyes are very clean and beautiful, such a person can't be the kind of scumbag who starts to mess up and ends up abandoning.
Gong Yu didn't believe the words of the second princess, Gong Ling, but the tear in the corner of Gong Ling's eye was too realistic.
At least Gong Yu believes that the second princess, Gong Ling, likes Dai Ruyan, but her intentional words are obviously not strong enough if they want to irritate her.
Gong Yu's head turned around until Dai Ruyan pinched the soft flesh of Gong Yu's palm and said softly: "What is Xiao Jiu thinking about?"
"How did Ah Yan know that I was distracted?"
"Because..." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu seriously, rubbed the corners of Gong Yu's eyes with his fingertips and said, "I can feel that Xiao Jiu didn't see me just now."
"But I obviously looked at Ayan's?" Gong Yu smiled and held Dai Ruyan's hand and kissed the back of it.
Dai Ruyan shook her head and said, "Maybe you were looking at me, but you were thinking about other things just now."
"Ayan, can you see this?"
"I don't know about others, but I can tell Xiaojiu's face."
Gong Yu said with a smile: "Then if I do something bad, wouldn't I be caught by A Yan at a glance?"
"Xiao Jiu is a person who will not do bad things." Dai Ruyan groped Gong Yu's brow delicately with his fingertips and said, "Because Xiao Jiu's eyes are very clear, and there is no greed or deceit in it."
"People only have desires, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."
"I'm broken." Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand tightly and said in a low voice: "I secretly asked Ayan to prepare a lot of ice cubes in the house, and I was going to secretly make iced fruits to eat."
Dai Ruyan smiled, pinched Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and said, "It's not a bad thing, the most is that Xiao Jiu is too greedy."
"That's not right, I still think in my heart that no one is allowed to miss Ayan, even if it's a woman."
"What is Xiao Jiu worried about?"
"I seldom go out on weekdays. At most, I go to palace banquets or banquets where I have to travel. How can I let others think about it?" Dai Ruyan said and stopped, and then said: "On the contrary, it is Xiaojiu. When you pay attention, you will get a lot of peach blossoms."
Gong Yu listened to Dai Ruyan's calm tone of words that seemed to be jealous, and the corners of her mouth could not be restrained and said in a low voice:
"Ayan has wronged me, it's not that I got peach blossoms, but that the peach blossoms became so strong that I was about to jump off the boat just now."
The corners of Dai Ruyan's mouth raised slightly, as if listening to Gong Yu's nonsense, he poked Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and said in a low voice:
"
Who made Xiao Jiu always so memorable, maybe he will cause more troubles in the future. "
"Then I cover my face all day long and let Ayan watch alone, okay?" Gong Yu replied mischievously.
"Okay." Dai Ruyan withdrew his hand and said, "But there is a man covering his face, I'm afraid Xiao Jiu will become a joke in the capital."
"Then let them say, maybe they are still jealous of me."
The breeze from the river came slowly, although it was mixed with a little warmth, it also relieved the stuffiness in many cabins.
Gong Yuqing leaned aside and stared at the pavilions in the capital city. In the past, she only thought it was a bustling place, but now she felt that there were countless bones buried under the bustling place.
But in such a capital, Dai Ruyan said that she found it interesting, so she didn't intend to leave.
"Does Ayan really want to stay in this capital forever?" Gong Yu asked with some hope.
Dai Ruyan seemed to be aware of Gong Yu's resistance and said softly, "Isn't it okay to stay here in the most prosperous place in the world?"
"It's not bad." Gong Yu said hesitantly: "But this place is too complicated, human lives are killed wantonly, and the court is also a mess."
"Does Xiaojiu think that after leaving the capital, there will be peace outside?" Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gongyu and said, "Compared to the dire situation outside, at least the illusion of prosperity in the capital can make Xiaojiu happier."
Obviously Dai Ruyan had no intention of leaving the capital, so Gong Yu had no choice but to give up.
After the Slight Heat, the weather became hotter and the drought in the palace was severe, so the court sent officials to investigate the details.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the drought in dozens of states and counties has yielded nothing. The food distributed by the court can only relieve the urgent need, but tens of thousands of hectares of farmland have dried up and turned into sand. I am afraid that it will not last until the winter, and countless people in the palace will starve to death due to lack of food. Die from lack of water."
After these speeches, the court hall fell into dead silence as it should have been.
"Your Majesty, far away water cannot quench near thirst, and the state treasury's gift of food cannot feed the disaster victims for several months."
Hearing this, Gong Yu understood that this minister understood that he was telling the emperor that there was no money in the treasury, so you should stop trying to get money from the treasury.
In the past, Gong Yu naively thought that the emperor had no worries about food and clothing, and could do whatever he wanted, but in the end he was suppressed everywhere, and even using the money from the treasury was not so easy.
The emperor was silent and did not speak. His face had already turned pale after being tortured by the ministers over the past few years.
His Royal Highness stood up and said, "Father, since the national treasury is empty, why don't you order rich merchants in the capital to donate food and pay silver. Only the common people can work together to tide over the difficulties."
This method is fine, but ordering this is indeed too overbearing and unreasonable, and it may even arouse public anger.
However, no one stopped the court, and this matter was handed over to the Fourth Highness to implement it hastily.
At the end of the morning court, the Fourth Highness seemed to have regained his former air, his whole body trembling slightly following his steps, no matter how Gong Yu looked at it, he felt that the Fourth Highness was someone who could only use brute force.
It is not impossible to force wealthy businessmen to donate disasters, as long as the method is smarter, it is not a problem.
Just follow the usual style of the Fourth Highness's behavior, I'm afraid that if someone dies, it may follow.
Gong Yu sighed, looking at the officials who were following His Highness the Fourth Highness's flattery, at least there were people behind His Highness, it was better than being alone.
At least someone will always remind the Fourth Highness.
"Why is Xiaojiu here alone in a daze?" His Highness the Sixth Highness came over with a graceful manner, holding a folding fan.
Gong Yu turned around and called out, "Brother Liu Huang is well."
"Xiao Jiu is just thinking that what Brother Four Emperor said in the court today is really reasonable."
His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Si Huang's residence has recruited many counselors, so he may have been inspired."
For the Sixth Highness who has always been a gentle gentleman, Gong Yu can't find fault until now.
Although His Highness the Sixth Highness suffered some hardships because of Zhou Wencai's incident, Gong Yu never saw him downcast, and he should stand firm step by step in the court.
It is worth mentioning that the Sixth Highness does not rely on marriage, all the officials are made by His Sixth Highness in the poetry club.
This is probably the real friendship through poetry, relying on the real literary talent.
Gong Yu looked sideways at the officials who had disappeared one after another, and His Highness the Sixth Highness at the side suddenly sighed: "It's just that the Fourth Emperor is always arbitrary, and I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in the matter of donating food."
"Brother Six, don't worry, there are many talented people around Brother Four, and they will definitely handle the matter of donating food properly."
"Xiao Jiu seems to be much more talkative than when he was a child." His Highness the Sixth Prince smiled and said, "I remember Xiao Jiu often hid at the back when I was young, and Xiao Jiu grew so tall in a flash."
Gong Yu was startled, thinking that dawn was coming.
After a few words of conversation, the two left the palace in sedan chairs. When passing through the downtown area, they suddenly heard a commotion. Gong Yu opened the curtain and saw many beggars on the street.
"What's going on outside?"
The servant outside replied: "Return to Your Highness, this is the rice shop being robbed by disaster victims, and it has happened every day in recent days."
The beggar holding the rice bag was caught before he ran a few steps, as if he hadn't thought about struggling at all.
The servant supported the horse and said: "These victims deliberately robbed things in order to be caught and have a good meal."
Gong Yu lowered the curtain and said, "Don't go to the shop today, let's go home."
"Yes."
Before the carriage entered the gate of the mansion, it stopped suddenly, and Gong Yu almost fell down.
Then I heard the old butler outside shout eagerly: "Let Your Highness come in first."
Then the carriage passed through the crowd at the gate, and Gong Yu got off the carriage and asked, "How did the disaster victims surround the gate of the mansion?"
"Your Highness doesn't know anything. It's not just that our house is full of cities, but all the big families are surrounded."
The old butler answered with a handkerchief wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Gong Yu heard the noise outside, before turning around, she didn't expect that there would be a bunch of matchmaker women in the front hall.
"This is the old housekeeper?"
"Just now the refugees came in a fierce manner, and these women took the opportunity to sneak in, and the old slave couldn't drive them away."
What kind of world is this... that there are still people coming to force marriages!
Gong Yu turned sideways and prepared to walk around from one side, but someone shouted from behind: "Hey, His Highness Ninth Prince is back!"
"Don't run!"
Gong Yu, who was running around the promenade, never expected that these women would insist on following them all the way, so she had no choice but to ask the guards to stop these tricky women.
I saw these ladies using their hands and feet together, picking their noses and eyes, and the guards couldn't move their knives, but their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
"Stop!" Gong Yu said angrily: "You trespassed on the mansion, and you still started to fight, do you mean you want to enter the government?"
The original intention was to intimidate these women, but I didn't expect that they looked like big sisters, so I stood up, holding a round face fan and said with a smile: "Hey, I heard that His Highness Ninth has a gentle temperament. When I saw it, it turned out that the gold and jade were out of the way and the inside was ruined!"
This sister-in-law, please don't use idioms indiscriminately, please!
"However, my Xu Niang has been married to countless princes and generals in the capital. I have never seen that man who has not had many concubines at the age of His Royal Highness." The woman was still full of strangeness after she finished speaking. Looking at Gong Yu with his eyes, he said:
"Could it be that His Royal Highness has some unspeakable secrets?"
Gong Yu blushed angrily and said, "Come on, get them out of here!"
"Which one of you would dare!" The woman took out a gold medal and said, "See, this is a gold medal matchmaker, and Prince Rong personally rewarded you. If you don't look at the monk's face, you also have to look at the Buddha's face, right?"
Suddenly, a few deaf-mute maidservants came over, reached out and took the gold medal from the woman's hand, even the bones of the wrist were scratched and broken, and the screams were endless.
Gong Yu felt pain when she heard it, and the old housekeeper and guards on the side were also dumbfounded, not to mention that the matchmakers who agreed with her lost their arrogance for a while.
"Stop hitting me, my mother's waist..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Gong Yu hurriedly said: "Stop, don't risk your life."
Those maidservants stopped just now, and the leader, Bi Yu, clapped her hands and said, "Xu Niang, right?"
The woman turned pale from the pain and nodded hurriedly, only to see Biyu holding the gold medal in her hand and saying: "It's a gold medal matchmaker, can't you see whose house I am?"
"I know it, of course I know it." The woman looked at Biyu again and said with a smile: "Anyone who doesn't know the person next to Miss Dai has white eyes."
Biyu threw the gold medal to the woman and said: "Then don't come to this mansion again, don't you know that the people in this mansion are already favored by us on behalf of the girls?"
amount……
Such a domineering Biyu, even Gong Yu was dumbfounded.
The woman hastily stretched out her hand and slapped herself a few times, saying: "The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai."
"Then leave soon."
"Yes! Yes! Let's go, little one."
When the woman was supported and walked away, Biyu turned her head with a sigh of relief, and the guards at the side were all quiet.
The old butler quietly approached and said: "Your Highness, the girls of this generation seem to have a gentle personality, but the maids under her hands are really cruel."
Gong Yu nodded silently, only to see Bi Yu walking over and saying: "Your Highness Ninth, my girl is still waiting for you inside."
"it is good."
A few people walked around the long corridor, and Gong Yu said to the old housekeeper beside him, "Please trouble the housekeeper to buy food with the existing food coupons in the store and the mansion, and set up a porridge shed to donate food."
The old housekeeper nodded and said: "There are a lot of bank notes in the mansion, so this old slave will do it now."
After entering the backyard, Dai Ruyan sat in the water pavilion, Gong Yu opened the gauze curtain and walked in.
"Why is Ayan here today?" Gong Yu approached and sat aside.
Hearing the sound, the little rabbit ran to Gong Yu's legs, but now that he had gained a lot of weight, it was a bit exhausting to hug him.
Dai Ruyan drank tea and said, "If I don't come, your mansion might still be noisy."
Gong Yu was so guilty that she put down the little rabbit, touched her nose and said, "I only saw Biyu's power today."
"Are you scared now?" Dai Ruyan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Gong Yu and said, "The woman who yelled should be given a serious punishment, she naturally doesn't dare to talk nonsense outside."
"What nonsense are you talking about outside?"
Gong Yu held the tea and blew on it, but she was still a little afraid of being too hot to drink.
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu and said, "You've been wandering around all day and don't know what nasty things that woman said?"
Gong Yu shook her head, took a sip of her tea and said, "On weekdays, I go to bed early in the morning, and then I go back to the mansion to sleep for a while, then I check the shops, and the rest is checking the account books, there is no time to spare in a day."
"The reason why that woman gossips and preaches that you are not sexual is because..." Dai Ruyan stopped abruptly.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan incomprehensibly and asked, "Why?"
Dai Ruyan looked slightly different and said, "It's because of the habit of breaking sleeves."
"Where did all this nonsense come from?" Gong Yu smiled and said, "I'm not the only one in this capital city, isn't brother Liu Huang not married yet?"
"The Sixth Highness is different from you. The Sixth Highness was going to marry, but his mother and concubine passed away and kept his filial piety, so he didn't marry a wife for the time being."
Gong Yu drank the tea and said: "You can't just talk about it casually. A while ago, there were rumors about me and A Yan. Why have you changed the version a while ago?"
"stop laughing?"
Miss Dai said seriously: "You are always with that Mr. Qin on weekdays. It is inevitable that you will not arouse suspicion, so you should avoid it."
I didn't expect to hear Dai Ruyan say so seriously, Gong Yu nod her smile and hurriedly nodded: "But I have no other communication with that Mr. Qin except about the account books. .”
"Then how do you talk about your entry into the brothel?"
Uh... how did Dai Ruyan know about this?
Gong Yu sat cross-legged, like a prisoner being interrogated, peeping at Dai Ruyan's frowning brows and said: "That's what Brother Wu Huang dragged me to go for no reason."
"So you went?"
"No, I just stood at the door and looked in." Gong Yu hurriedly shook her head to explain, and then said angrily, "I didn't expect this to be rumored."
Dai Ruyan held the teacup tightly and said softly: "The brothel is full of women. If ordinary men are curious, it makes sense, but Xiao Jiu..."
"What are you curious about? Do you have to go to that place?"
Seeing that Dai Ruyan seemed really angry, Gong Yu hurriedly sat beside her and said, "Ah Yan, don't be angry, I actually went in to get the lucky bag."
"Lucky bag?" Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu and asked more rigorously, "Why did your lucky bag fall there?"
"No."
"I..." Gong Yu became even more anxious by Dai Ruyan's serious tone, and said bluntly:
"Going back to the cruise ship of the second emperor, the lucky bag she was wearing was somehow picked up by the woman in red."
"Really, I will never lie to A Yan." Gong Yu gently pulled Dai Ruyan's sleeve with his hand and said: "The woman in red said that she put the lucky bag on the plaque in the brothel in the capital."
"That's when I wanted to secretly check on the family. I didn't expect to bump into Brother Wu Huang, so I was dragged into the brothel. I just didn't go in."
Dai Ruyan turned his head slightly to look at Gong Yu, his expression seemed to relax a bit, Gong Yu then smiled in relief.
But in the next second, Dai Ruyan's hand squeezed Gong Yu's smiling cheek and said seriously: "But you make such a fuss, everyone in the city knows that you like to visit brothels, and even I almost... believe it. "
"It hurts, Ayan." Gong Yu was so hurt that she had to tilt her head to Dai Ruyan, and asked puzzledly: "Ayan, don't be angry, why would such an obedient person like me go to brothels?"
"Oh, Xiaojiu might as well tell me which brothel I'm going to tonight?"
"tonight……"
"Naturally, I should stay in the mansion well. I'm not going anywhere."
"Really?"
Gong Yu stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan's face-scratching hand and nodded: "Of course it's true."
"Will Xiao Jiu not go to the invitation of the woman in red?"
"not going."
Dai Ruyan let go of her hand slightly, and turned to gently rubbing Gong Yu's face, Gong Yu was relieved.
"How did Ah Yan know that the woman in red sent me a letter?"
"I'm naturally clear about your business."
Gong Yu stretched out her hands and rubbed her face, sitting by the side saw that Dai Ruyan didn't seem to be angry anymore, so she said, "I promise I won't go tonight."
"Even if the woman in red is playing with the lucky bag in her hand, I won't ask for it."
"Stupid." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly, and said in a low voice: "That woman in red is obviously just playing with you with that lucky bag, why do you still believe it?"
"The lucky bag was given to me by Ayan, and I can't keep coming back." Gong Yu rubbed her face and half-lyed on Dai Ruyan's lap and replied: "I just didn't expect that woman in red to be so hateful!"
"Is the wound from being stung by bees better?" Dai Ruyan gently rolled up Gong Yu's loose robe with his fingertips, revealing the red and swollen bag inside.
"It's no longer itchy or painful, and the swelling will slowly subside in a few days."
Dai Ruyan stroked the skin on Gong Yu's arm with his fingertips and said, "If it's not for the identity of the woman in red is unknown, otherwise I have to let her suffer."
Gong Yu nodded cooperatively and said, "Yes, Ayan wants to avenge me."
"Hiss... Ah Yan really hurts."
Dai Ruyan tapped Gong Yu's red envelope with her fingertips, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Who wants to avenge you, little fool."
"I was foolishly tricked, so I insisted on secretly climbing the signboard of other brothels."
Mischievously, Gong Yu stretched her arms and put her arms around Dai Ruyan, saying: "Ah Yan doesn't even care about me, I'm here to take the lucky bag that Ayan gave me, I don't know how much I have suffered."
Dai Ruyan just smiled, looked down at Gong Yu who was huddled in his arms, stroked Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and said, "You, it's a good thing you didn't get stung by a bee, otherwise you would be stupid for months. Don't come out to see me."
"That's not true,
Dai Ruyan was holding the medicine in Gong Yu's hand, the cabin was very quiet, not even a maidservant.
"Extraordinarily intelligent and skillful." Dai Ruyan daubed the ointment on Gong Yu's fair wrist carefully with his fingertips.
"So Ah Yan already knew that the Second Royal Sister was also involved?"
"I'm just guessing."
"Then, has Ayan seen this jade pendant?" Gong Yu asked, taking out the jade pendant she was carrying with her.
Dai Ruyan didn't look over, but sighed deeply and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu thinks that even if the capital case is found, can the murderer be brought to justice?"
Gong Yu shook her head and said: "I know I can't, but I want to know how many forces are circling and entangled in this court."
"I want to know how frantic they will be in order to put their power down?"
"So what if you know?" Dai Ruyan tied the gauze, held the scissors and cut the remaining piece of gauze and said softly: "The royal family has been like this for generations, let alone the ministers who are willing to be their pawns?"
"Xiao Jiu should understand that you and I are in such a complicated world, we are already out of control, unless..."
"Unless what?" Gong Yu asked eagerly.
Dai Ruyan stroked Gong Yu's cool face lightly with his fingertips and said: "Xiao Jiu sits on the dragon chair and holds the power of life and death, and I can help Xiao Jiu get rid of those hidden in the root of the court step by step. poisonous insect."
"When Ayan said to get rid of them, did they kill them batch by batch?"
"How can you deter the officials if you don't kill them? If you want to become an emperor, you must be cruel and decisive. Indecision will cause more serious consequences."
Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I'm not suitable to be an emperor, and I don't want to solve problems by killing."
Dai Ruyan smiled and said: "I know, so since Xiao Jiu also knows that he can't, then he should calm down now and investigate the complicated and chaotic forces in it from the dark, instead of just stupidly getting on a pirate ship."
"Okay, quickly change your wet robe, or you will definitely get sick."
"Okay." Gong Yu walked around the screen with her clothes in her arms, and Dai Ruyan outside was sitting on the side drinking tea, stroking the jade pendant that Gong Yu had brought out earlier.
After Gong Yu changed her clothes and came out, Dai Ruyan put down the jade pendant in her hand, looked back and asked, "Does this clothes fit?"
"It's pretty good, I like the color too." Gong Yu raised her arms and looked at the cuffs, and she also felt that they were very delicate.
Of course, what's more important is that this light blue robe is very similar to the light blue gauze skirt that Ruyan is wearing today, and somehow feels like a couple's style.
Gong Yu approached, looked at the cakes on the side, and reached out to take a piece.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hands to untie the buttons on Gong Yu's collar and said with a smile: "How old are you, how can you tie it wrong?"
"Maybe I didn't pay attention to it." Gong Yu blushed inexplicably when she saw Dai Ruyan in front of her, and hurriedly stuffed the pastry in her hand into her mouth and said:
"Shall I do it myself?"
"Don't move around, I'll tie it up for you soon."
"Then... alright." Gong Yu straightened her back like a sculpture.
Dai Ruyan's eyebrows were full of seriousness, but the fragrance on her body made Gong Yu's heart beat fast.
In order not to think wildly, Gong Yu turned to think of what Zhao Anyue said on the boat, and said to herself: "I have some clues about the case of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Do you want me to sort it out, Ah Yan?"
Dai Ruyan gently stroked the folds of Ping Gongyu's robe with his fingers, then let go of his hands and said, "Xiao Jiu might as well talk and listen."
Gong Yu pulled Dai Ruyan to sit by the window and said, "I guess it was Brother Da Huang who sent someone to kill Minister of Punishment."
"But Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment can be regarded as the father-in-law of His Highness, why did His Highness kill him?"
"At first I was also confused about this, but the jade pendant I found from the dead man sent by the eldest brother turned to the second sister."
Dai Ruyan poured tea and sipped lightly, "It's just a jade pendant, but it's not enough to prove anything."
Gong Yu nodded and said: "This is just speculation, after all, there is no evidence for death."
"Perhaps the second sister is avenging the third brother." Gong Yu said while holding the tea, "The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is investigating the assassination of the fourth brother, and also testified that the third brother hired a murderer to kill."
"Then why did His Highness agree to send someone to assassinate Minister of Punishment because of the second princess' revenge?"
Dai Ruyan put down the teacup and asked: "After all, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is not low, and he is also a good pawn."
Gong Yu stopped and responded: "I guess Second Sister Huang might agree to give Brother Da Huang some benefits."
"Or maybe the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is not actually a pawn of the Highness, but a pawn of surrender, but in fact it is someone else's pawn behind the scenes. If this is the case, the elder brother kills the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, then there is no harm at all. All in all, the death of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is at least for the emperor. Brother only benefits."
"These little nines are just based on guesswork?" Dai Ruyan asked slightly surprised.
"That's right." Gong Yu peeled the peanut and said, "Although I went to inquire about the residence of the Minister of Punishment, but I am not a member of the Dali Temple who investigates the case, so it is not easy to conduct a thorough interrogation."
"However, I heard that Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment has always had a private house outside to raise concubines. Later, I asked someone to inquire and found that there were no concubines at all, and there was a secret passage in that private house."
Dai Ruyan tapped the low table with her fingertips and said, "I guess the secret passage leads directly to the scientific research site."
"Yes, so when the case of leaking questions arises, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice must die first."
Gong Yu handed the peeled peanuts to Dai Ruyan's palm and whispered, "It doesn't matter if the murderer's motive is to cover up people's eyes or to kill people."
"Xiao Jiu's words cannot be said to the outside world."
Gong Yu nodded and smiled, "I know, so I only told Ayan."
Dai Ruyan grasped Gong Yu's hand lightly in his palm, and said helplessly: "The more secrets you know about the court, the more dangerous it will be. Isn't Xiao Jiu usually very timid?"
"I'm afraid, but I don't want others to die unjustly." Gong Yu and Dai Ruyan looked at each other and said, "At present, it seems that when the case of leaking the title appeared, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly asked for sick leave. I knew I was in danger."
"Xiao Jiu's meaning?"
"I heard from the servant of the Ministry of Punishment that my lord recovered from his illness and went to the morning court. He was holding a small box in his hand in the early morning, but when he died, the small box was gone."
Gong Yu sighed and said, "Perhaps the list of persons involved in the Xieti case is hidden in that small box, or it may be the faction of the big brother's faction that Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment has contacted, but it is a pity that it is gone."
Dai Ruyan lightly pressed Gong Yu's palm with her fingertips and said, "Perhaps it was taken away by the murderer."
"I guess the murderer didn't get it either." Gong Yuhui held Dai Ruyan's hand, stretched out his hand and put peanuts one by one into the little butterfly beside him and said:
"Because the murderer hid the sedan chair that Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice used to go to the early court on weekdays, but it was still dark that day, and even before Mao's time, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice took another strange sedan chair to leave."
Dai Ruyan handed the peanut to Gong Yu's mouth and asked, "How did Xiao Jiu know about this?"
Gong Yu opened her mouth to eat peanuts and replied: "I sent someone to ask the watchman, but unexpectedly the watchman happened to bump into it, and said that a strange sedan chair came out of the back alley of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."
"What a coincidence."
"Yeah, so I speculate that the small box of Minister of the Ministry of Justice should be given to someone he feels safe. It was originally to save his life, but he was killed in the end."
The sound of the water outside the boat was getting louder, and both of them fell silent. Gong Yu caught a glimpse of a small plate of plums beside her, so she reached out and took one.
Unexpectedly, the plums were so sour, Gong Yu frowned for a long time before recovering, and Dai Ruyan sipped tea and said, "This plum is a sour plum through and through, does Xiao Jiu wake up after tasting it?"
Gong Yu couldn't believe that Dai Ruyan was gloating, and said innocently: "This plum is placed in front of me, why does Ayan watch me eat it and not remind me?"
"I didn't let you eat it, and besides, you ate it as soon as you reached out, did you ever ask me?"
Uh... this is something that people can't refute.
Dai Ruyan smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to gently rub Gong Yu's face. Gong Yu, who is dumb and eats coptis, took a sip of tea and said:
"The case of leaking questions caused different groups of forces in the court to protect themselves or eradicate the opponent's minions, but this is tantamount to self-mutilation. After all, training an official and being destroyed is a troublesome thing. Who will get the most out of it?"
"Xiao Jiu is so smart, you can think slowly." Dai Ruyan said with a smile and let go of her hand.
Gong Yu took another sip of tea and shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't even find anything strange among the newly appointed officials. It seems that everyone is standing still, like a big enemy."
Dai Ruyan held the jade pendant and said: "You can't see what happened in the courtroom in a while, you have to calm down and study them carefully, but maybe the second princess has clues."
"I dare not go." Gong Yu shook her head, only thinking that Dai Ruyan was playing some bad trick again.
"What?" Dai Ruyan said with a smile: "Didn't Xiao Jiu praise the second princess for her outstanding talent and appearance, and her generosity, and she is also admired by everyone on weekdays?"
Sure enough, Dai Ruyan was mentioning this on purpose.
Gong Yu drank tea and said: "Ayan, you are joking, if I really go again, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
"Could it be that Xiao Jiu is afraid that the second princess will swallow you?"
"I'm afraid." Gong Yu nodded her head and said, "Today I feel like I was almost swallowed alive by those girls on the cruise ship."
Dai Ruyan smiled and said: "Who made Xiaojiu so fair, let him get rid of it..."
The words came to an abrupt end, and Dai Ruyan's gaze leisurely stopped in front of Gong Yu, as if holding back a smile, he said: "Xiao Jiu eats so much on weekdays, but why does she only grow taller, and nothing else has changed at all. "
Never believing that Dai Ruyan would say such flirtatious words, Gong Yuhong focused on explaining: "Ayan, why did you become such a hooligan?"
Although it is a little small, what can Gong Yu do.
Dai Ruyan smiled lightly and said, "I'm not a hooligan, I'm just really curious."
"In the past, Xiao Jiu ate more than others, but except for a little flesh on his face, he never knew how thin he was."
What she said was as if Dai Ruyan had seen it, Gong Yu glanced sideways at the screen, only then did she know where the screen could cover what.
Although it is hazy, it should be seen clearly, but it is not bad at all.
Gong Yu turned her head to the side and stared at Dai Ruyan with a blushing face, only to see Dai Ruyan's expression remained the same, except for a little smile between his eyebrows, there was nothing else.
"Ayan, peeking at others changing clothes is not good."
"I just glanced at it lightly, so why peek?"
"Then why didn't you remind me?" Gong Yu just felt that today was really unlucky, so she got up and opened the window beside her to get some air.
Dai Ruyan put down the teacup and walked to the side and said softly, "Are you angry?"
"I'm very angry." Gong Yu responded by staring at the lake water.
Not only was she watched, but Dai Ruyan thought she was too small. Gong Yu felt that she could really consider jumping into the river, which was really shocking.
The palm was lightly held by Dai Ruyan, before Gong Yu came back to his senses, Dai Ruyan put his arm around Gong Yu and approached him and said, "If I had just reminded Xiao Jiu, wouldn't Xiao Jiu be stupid enough to keep wearing that drenched sweater?" your robes?"
"Furthermore, I just watched it after I saw it, and I'm not someone else. Could it be that Xiao Jiu treats me as an outsider?"
Gong Yu couldn't avoid it, and felt that Dai Ruyan's words were gentle and soft, like a goblin who confuses others, so she stared sideways at Dai Ruyan and said, "I don't."
"Then why are you still angry?" Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, rubbing her fingertips against Gong Yu's palm, her eyes were very clean.
However, Gong Yu couldn't stand Dai Ruyan the most, her pure and fatal charm was simply irresistible.
Even Dai Ruyan's other hand imprisoned Gong Yu and could not move. Their movements were extremely ambiguous, but Dai Ruyan was still not at all unnatural.
Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan's face and said with a blushing face, "But Ah Yan despises my little one."
Dai Ruyan was slightly surprised, and the corners of her lips raised lightly, "I don't dislike... Xiao, but this will better cover up Xiao Jiu's identity."
"Obviously there is." Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand tightly and said, "Ayan hesitated when he said it, obviously just to comfort me."
"But what I said is the truth." Dai Ruyan smiled and kissed Gong Yu's side face to comfort him, "Maybe when Xiao Jiu gets older, maybe there will be changes."
This truth is really sad.
Gong Yu blinked her eyes a few times, her eyes fell on Dai Ruyan's fair face, she lowered her head and kissed the lips that were close at hand.
When she stopped, Dai Ruyan distanced herself slightly and looked at Gong Yu in puzzlement, "Aren't you angry now?"
"I'm angry."
Gong Yu wanted to get closer, but Dai Ruyan gently held Gong Yu's cheek in his palm and said softly: "Then kiss again, Xiao Jiu will not be angry, okay?"
Before the words finished, Dai Ruyan leaned closer and kissed Gong Yu's lips lightly.
It's just that Dai Ruyan stayed for a while, and Gong Yu's heart beat wildly, and the delicate and beautiful feeling made Gong Yu obey as it should.
"Little Jiu, don't be angry, okay?" Dai Ruyan distanced herself a little and coaxed in a low voice.
Gong Yu also felt that Dai Ruyan always treated her like a child, so she bit the next Dai Ruyan's cheek in dissatisfaction and whispered: "Obviously I was the one being looked at, but why do I look like a vexatious child?"
Dai Ruyan was slightly taken aback by Gong Yu's small movements, gently rubbed the back of Gong Yu's neck with his palm, and hugged Gong Yu affectionately and replied:
"I was a child in the first place, and I can still satisfy Xiaojiu with this unreasonable trouble."
"A Yan said that I am a child, I am really angry." Gong Yu said dissatisfiedly leaning on Dai Ruyan.
"Okay, don't be angry, I just don't say anything."
Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's earlobe helplessly and said, "Xiao Jiu is an adult, and will still want to kiss an adult, is this okay?"
Gong Yu blushed even more after being told, she stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand pinching her earlobe, and looked at Dai Ruyan with a little distance.
Dai Ruyan's eyes are very clean and beautiful, such a person can't be the kind of scumbag who starts to mess up and ends up abandoning.
Gong Yu didn't believe the words of the second princess, Gong Ling, but the tear in the corner of Gong Ling's eye was too realistic.
At least Gong Yu believes that the second princess, Gong Ling, likes Dai Ruyan, but her intentional words are obviously not strong enough if they want to irritate her.
Gong Yu's head turned around until Dai Ruyan pinched the soft flesh of Gong Yu's palm and said softly: "What is Xiao Jiu thinking about?"
"How did Ah Yan know that I was distracted?"
"Because..." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu seriously, rubbed the corners of Gong Yu's eyes with his fingertips and said, "I can feel that Xiao Jiu didn't see me just now."
"But I obviously looked at Ayan's?" Gong Yu smiled and held Dai Ruyan's hand and kissed the back of it.
Dai Ruyan shook her head and said, "Maybe you were looking at me, but you were thinking about other things just now."
"Ayan, can you see this?"
"I don't know about others, but I can tell Xiaojiu's face."
Gong Yu said with a smile: "Then if I do something bad, wouldn't I be caught by A Yan at a glance?"
"Xiao Jiu is a person who will not do bad things." Dai Ruyan groped Gong Yu's brow delicately with his fingertips and said, "Because Xiao Jiu's eyes are very clear, and there is no greed or deceit in it."
"People only have desires, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."
"I'm broken." Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand tightly and said in a low voice: "I secretly asked Ayan to prepare a lot of ice cubes in the house, and I was going to secretly make iced fruits to eat."
Dai Ruyan smiled, pinched Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and said, "It's not a bad thing, the most is that Xiao Jiu is too greedy."
"That's not right, I still think in my heart that no one is allowed to miss Ayan, even if it's a woman."
"What is Xiao Jiu worried about?"
"I seldom go out on weekdays. At most, I go to palace banquets or banquets where I have to travel. How can I let others think about it?" Dai Ruyan said and stopped, and then said: "On the contrary, it is Xiaojiu. When you pay attention, you will get a lot of peach blossoms."
Gong Yu listened to Dai Ruyan's calm tone of words that seemed to be jealous, and the corners of her mouth could not be restrained and said in a low voice:
"Ayan has wronged me, it's not that I got peach blossoms, but that the peach blossoms became so strong that I was about to jump off the boat just now."
The corners of Dai Ruyan's mouth raised slightly, as if listening to Gong Yu's nonsense, he poked Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and said in a low voice:
"
Who made Xiao Jiu always so memorable, maybe he will cause more troubles in the future. "
"Then I cover my face all day long and let Ayan watch alone, okay?" Gong Yu replied mischievously.
"Okay." Dai Ruyan withdrew his hand and said, "But there is a man covering his face, I'm afraid Xiao Jiu will become a joke in the capital."
"Then let them say, maybe they are still jealous of me."
The breeze from the river came slowly, although it was mixed with a little warmth, it also relieved the stuffiness in many cabins.
Gong Yuqing leaned aside and stared at the pavilions in the capital city. In the past, she only thought it was a bustling place, but now she felt that there were countless bones buried under the bustling place.
But in such a capital, Dai Ruyan said that she found it interesting, so she didn't intend to leave.
"Does Ayan really want to stay in this capital forever?" Gong Yu asked with some hope.
Dai Ruyan seemed to be aware of Gong Yu's resistance and said softly, "Isn't it okay to stay here in the most prosperous place in the world?"
"It's not bad." Gong Yu said hesitantly: "But this place is too complicated, human lives are killed wantonly, and the court is also a mess."
"Does Xiaojiu think that after leaving the capital, there will be peace outside?" Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gongyu and said, "Compared to the dire situation outside, at least the illusion of prosperity in the capital can make Xiaojiu happier."
Obviously Dai Ruyan had no intention of leaving the capital, so Gong Yu had no choice but to give up.
After the Slight Heat, the weather became hotter and the drought in the palace was severe, so the court sent officials to investigate the details.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the drought in dozens of states and counties has yielded nothing. The food distributed by the court can only relieve the urgent need, but tens of thousands of hectares of farmland have dried up and turned into sand. I am afraid that it will not last until the winter, and countless people in the palace will starve to death due to lack of food. Die from lack of water."
After these speeches, the court hall fell into dead silence as it should have been.
"Your Majesty, far away water cannot quench near thirst, and the state treasury's gift of food cannot feed the disaster victims for several months."
Hearing this, Gong Yu understood that this minister understood that he was telling the emperor that there was no money in the treasury, so you should stop trying to get money from the treasury.
In the past, Gong Yu naively thought that the emperor had no worries about food and clothing, and could do whatever he wanted, but in the end he was suppressed everywhere, and even using the money from the treasury was not so easy.
The emperor was silent and did not speak. His face had already turned pale after being tortured by the ministers over the past few years.
His Royal Highness stood up and said, "Father, since the national treasury is empty, why don't you order rich merchants in the capital to donate food and pay silver. Only the common people can work together to tide over the difficulties."
This method is fine, but ordering this is indeed too overbearing and unreasonable, and it may even arouse public anger.
However, no one stopped the court, and this matter was handed over to the Fourth Highness to implement it hastily.
At the end of the morning court, the Fourth Highness seemed to have regained his former air, his whole body trembling slightly following his steps, no matter how Gong Yu looked at it, he felt that the Fourth Highness was someone who could only use brute force.
It is not impossible to force wealthy businessmen to donate disasters, as long as the method is smarter, it is not a problem.
Just follow the usual style of the Fourth Highness's behavior, I'm afraid that if someone dies, it may follow.
Gong Yu sighed, looking at the officials who were following His Highness the Fourth Highness's flattery, at least there were people behind His Highness, it was better than being alone.
At least someone will always remind the Fourth Highness.
"Why is Xiaojiu here alone in a daze?" His Highness the Sixth Highness came over with a graceful manner, holding a folding fan.
Gong Yu turned around and called out, "Brother Liu Huang is well."
"Xiao Jiu is just thinking that what Brother Four Emperor said in the court today is really reasonable."
His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Si Huang's residence has recruited many counselors, so he may have been inspired."
For the Sixth Highness who has always been a gentle gentleman, Gong Yu can't find fault until now.
Although His Highness the Sixth Highness suffered some hardships because of Zhou Wencai's incident, Gong Yu never saw him downcast, and he should stand firm step by step in the court.
It is worth mentioning that the Sixth Highness does not rely on marriage, all the officials are made by His Sixth Highness in the poetry club.
This is probably the real friendship through poetry, relying on the real literary talent.
Gong Yu looked sideways at the officials who had disappeared one after another, and His Highness the Sixth Highness at the side suddenly sighed: "It's just that the Fourth Emperor is always arbitrary, and I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in the matter of donating food."
"Brother Six, don't worry, there are many talented people around Brother Four, and they will definitely handle the matter of donating food properly."
"Xiao Jiu seems to be much more talkative than when he was a child." His Highness the Sixth Prince smiled and said, "I remember Xiao Jiu often hid at the back when I was young, and Xiao Jiu grew so tall in a flash."
Gong Yu was startled, thinking that dawn was coming.
After a few words of conversation, the two left the palace in sedan chairs. When passing through the downtown area, they suddenly heard a commotion. Gong Yu opened the curtain and saw many beggars on the street.
"What's going on outside?"
The servant outside replied: "Return to Your Highness, this is the rice shop being robbed by disaster victims, and it has happened every day in recent days."
The beggar holding the rice bag was caught before he ran a few steps, as if he hadn't thought about struggling at all.
The servant supported the horse and said: "These victims deliberately robbed things in order to be caught and have a good meal."
Gong Yu lowered the curtain and said, "Don't go to the shop today, let's go home."
"Yes."
Before the carriage entered the gate of the mansion, it stopped suddenly, and Gong Yu almost fell down.
Then I heard the old butler outside shout eagerly: "Let Your Highness come in first."
Then the carriage passed through the crowd at the gate, and Gong Yu got off the carriage and asked, "How did the disaster victims surround the gate of the mansion?"
"Your Highness doesn't know anything. It's not just that our house is full of cities, but all the big families are surrounded."
The old butler answered with a handkerchief wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Gong Yu heard the noise outside, before turning around, she didn't expect that there would be a bunch of matchmaker women in the front hall.
"This is the old housekeeper?"
"Just now the refugees came in a fierce manner, and these women took the opportunity to sneak in, and the old slave couldn't drive them away."
What kind of world is this... that there are still people coming to force marriages!
Gong Yu turned sideways and prepared to walk around from one side, but someone shouted from behind: "Hey, His Highness Ninth Prince is back!"
"Don't run!"
Gong Yu, who was running around the promenade, never expected that these women would insist on following them all the way, so she had no choice but to ask the guards to stop these tricky women.
I saw these ladies using their hands and feet together, picking their noses and eyes, and the guards couldn't move their knives, but their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
"Stop!" Gong Yu said angrily: "You trespassed on the mansion, and you still started to fight, do you mean you want to enter the government?"
The original intention was to intimidate these women, but I didn't expect that they looked like big sisters, so I stood up, holding a round face fan and said with a smile: "Hey, I heard that His Highness Ninth has a gentle temperament. When I saw it, it turned out that the gold and jade were out of the way and the inside was ruined!"
This sister-in-law, please don't use idioms indiscriminately, please!
"However, my Xu Niang has been married to countless princes and generals in the capital. I have never seen that man who has not had many concubines at the age of His Royal Highness." The woman was still full of strangeness after she finished speaking. Looking at Gong Yu with his eyes, he said:
"Could it be that His Royal Highness has some unspeakable secrets?"
Gong Yu blushed angrily and said, "Come on, get them out of here!"
"Which one of you would dare!" The woman took out a gold medal and said, "See, this is a gold medal matchmaker, and Prince Rong personally rewarded you. If you don't look at the monk's face, you also have to look at the Buddha's face, right?"
Suddenly, a few deaf-mute maidservants came over, reached out and took the gold medal from the woman's hand, even the bones of the wrist were scratched and broken, and the screams were endless.
Gong Yu felt pain when she heard it, and the old housekeeper and guards on the side were also dumbfounded, not to mention that the matchmakers who agreed with her lost their arrogance for a while.
"Stop hitting me, my mother's waist..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Gong Yu hurriedly said: "Stop, don't risk your life."
Those maidservants stopped just now, and the leader, Bi Yu, clapped her hands and said, "Xu Niang, right?"
The woman turned pale from the pain and nodded hurriedly, only to see Biyu holding the gold medal in her hand and saying: "It's a gold medal matchmaker, can't you see whose house I am?"
"I know it, of course I know it." The woman looked at Biyu again and said with a smile: "Anyone who doesn't know the person next to Miss Dai has white eyes."
Biyu threw the gold medal to the woman and said: "Then don't come to this mansion again, don't you know that the people in this mansion are already favored by us on behalf of the girls?"
amount……
Such a domineering Biyu, even Gong Yu was dumbfounded.
The woman hastily stretched out her hand and slapped herself a few times, saying: "The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai."
"Then leave soon."
"Yes! Yes! Let's go, little one."
When the woman was supported and walked away, Biyu turned her head with a sigh of relief, and the guards at the side were all quiet.
The old butler quietly approached and said: "Your Highness, the girls of this generation seem to have a gentle personality, but the maids under her hands are really cruel."
Gong Yu nodded silently, only to see Bi Yu walking over and saying: "Your Highness Ninth, my girl is still waiting for you inside."
"it is good."
A few people walked around the long corridor, and Gong Yu said to the old housekeeper beside him, "Please trouble the housekeeper to buy food with the existing food coupons in the store and the mansion, and set up a porridge shed to donate food."
The old housekeeper nodded and said: "There are a lot of bank notes in the mansion, so this old slave will do it now."
After entering the backyard, Dai Ruyan sat in the water pavilion, Gong Yu opened the gauze curtain and walked in.
"Why is Ayan here today?" Gong Yu approached and sat aside.
Hearing the sound, the little rabbit ran to Gong Yu's legs, but now that he had gained a lot of weight, it was a bit exhausting to hug him.
Dai Ruyan drank tea and said, "If I don't come, your mansion might still be noisy."
Gong Yu was so guilty that she put down the little rabbit, touched her nose and said, "I only saw Biyu's power today."
"Are you scared now?" Dai Ruyan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Gong Yu and said, "The woman who yelled should be given a serious punishment, she naturally doesn't dare to talk nonsense outside."
"What nonsense are you talking about outside?"
Gong Yu held the tea and blew on it, but she was still a little afraid of being too hot to drink.
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu and said, "You've been wandering around all day and don't know what nasty things that woman said?"
Gong Yu shook her head, took a sip of her tea and said, "On weekdays, I go to bed early in the morning, and then I go back to the mansion to sleep for a while, then I check the shops, and the rest is checking the account books, there is no time to spare in a day."
"The reason why that woman gossips and preaches that you are not sexual is because..." Dai Ruyan stopped abruptly.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan incomprehensibly and asked, "Why?"
Dai Ruyan looked slightly different and said, "It's because of the habit of breaking sleeves."
"Where did all this nonsense come from?" Gong Yu smiled and said, "I'm not the only one in this capital city, isn't brother Liu Huang not married yet?"
"The Sixth Highness is different from you. The Sixth Highness was going to marry, but his mother and concubine passed away and kept his filial piety, so he didn't marry a wife for the time being."
Gong Yu drank the tea and said: "You can't just talk about it casually. A while ago, there were rumors about me and A Yan. Why have you changed the version a while ago?"
"stop laughing?"
Miss Dai said seriously: "You are always with that Mr. Qin on weekdays. It is inevitable that you will not arouse suspicion, so you should avoid it."
I didn't expect to hear Dai Ruyan say so seriously, Gong Yu nod her smile and hurriedly nodded: "But I have no other communication with that Mr. Qin except about the account books. .”
"Then how do you talk about your entry into the brothel?"
Uh... how did Dai Ruyan know about this?
Gong Yu sat cross-legged, like a prisoner being interrogated, peeping at Dai Ruyan's frowning brows and said: "That's what Brother Wu Huang dragged me to go for no reason."
"So you went?"
"No, I just stood at the door and looked in." Gong Yu hurriedly shook her head to explain, and then said angrily, "I didn't expect this to be rumored."
Dai Ruyan held the teacup tightly and said softly: "The brothel is full of women. If ordinary men are curious, it makes sense, but Xiao Jiu..."
"What are you curious about? Do you have to go to that place?"
Seeing that Dai Ruyan seemed really angry, Gong Yu hurriedly sat beside her and said, "Ah Yan, don't be angry, I actually went in to get the lucky bag."
"Lucky bag?" Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu and asked more rigorously, "Why did your lucky bag fall there?"
"No."
"I..." Gong Yu became even more anxious by Dai Ruyan's serious tone, and said bluntly:
"Going back to the cruise ship of the second emperor, the lucky bag she was wearing was somehow picked up by the woman in red."
"Really, I will never lie to A Yan." Gong Yu gently pulled Dai Ruyan's sleeve with his hand and said: "The woman in red said that she put the lucky bag on the plaque in the brothel in the capital."
"That's when I wanted to secretly check on the family. I didn't expect to bump into Brother Wu Huang, so I was dragged into the brothel. I just didn't go in."
Dai Ruyan turned his head slightly to look at Gong Yu, his expression seemed to relax a bit, Gong Yu then smiled in relief.
But in the next second, Dai Ruyan's hand squeezed Gong Yu's smiling cheek and said seriously: "But you make such a fuss, everyone in the city knows that you like to visit brothels, and even I almost... believe it. "
"It hurts, Ayan." Gong Yu was so hurt that she had to tilt her head to Dai Ruyan, and asked puzzledly: "Ayan, don't be angry, why would such an obedient person like me go to brothels?"
"Oh, Xiaojiu might as well tell me which brothel I'm going to tonight?"
"tonight……"
"Naturally, I should stay in the mansion well. I'm not going anywhere."
"Really?"
Gong Yu stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan's face-scratching hand and nodded: "Of course it's true."
"Will Xiao Jiu not go to the invitation of the woman in red?"
"not going."
Dai Ruyan let go of her hand slightly, and turned to gently rubbing Gong Yu's face, Gong Yu was relieved.
"How did Ah Yan know that the woman in red sent me a letter?"
"I'm naturally clear about your business."
Gong Yu stretched out her hands and rubbed her face, sitting by the side saw that Dai Ruyan didn't seem to be angry anymore, so she said, "I promise I won't go tonight."
"Even if the woman in red is playing with the lucky bag in her hand, I won't ask for it."
"Stupid." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly, and said in a low voice: "That woman in red is obviously just playing with you with that lucky bag, why do you still believe it?"
"The lucky bag was given to me by Ayan, and I can't keep coming back." Gong Yu rubbed her face and half-lyed on Dai Ruyan's lap and replied: "I just didn't expect that woman in red to be so hateful!"
"Is the wound from being stung by bees better?" Dai Ruyan gently rolled up Gong Yu's loose robe with his fingertips, revealing the red and swollen bag inside.
"It's no longer itchy or painful, and the swelling will slowly subside in a few days."
Dai Ruyan stroked the skin on Gong Yu's arm with his fingertips and said, "If it's not for the identity of the woman in red is unknown, otherwise I have to let her suffer."
Gong Yu nodded cooperatively and said, "Yes, Ayan wants to avenge me."
"Hiss... Ah Yan really hurts."
Dai Ruyan tapped Gong Yu's red envelope with her fingertips, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Who wants to avenge you, little fool."
"I was foolishly tricked, so I insisted on secretly climbing the signboard of other brothels."
Mischievously, Gong Yu stretched her arms and put her arms around Dai Ruyan, saying: "Ah Yan doesn't even care about me, I'm here to take the lucky bag that Ayan gave me, I don't know how much I have suffered."
Dai Ruyan just smiled, looked down at Gong Yu who was huddled in his arms, stroked Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and said, "You, it's a good thing you didn't get stung by a bee, otherwise you would be stupid for months. Don't come out to see me."
