"Have you heard that His Highness the Ninth Prince, who just got engaged to the Taifu's daughter, is crazy."

"Isn't that right, His Highness the Ninth Prince swung his sword away to drive away the matchmaker of the Taifu's family, yelling not to marry."

"That's right, His Highness the Ninth Prince suffered a big gash on his head for some reason, and he is still wrapped in gauze, so he might have damaged his head."

"Didn't you all hear that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is seeking a girl from the Dai family in this engagement, but you never thought that it would be the daughter of Taifu Zhao?"

"There is such an inside story! No wonder His Highness the Ninth Prince is insane, and he is probably very angry."

There was a lot of noise in the tea shed, and gossip and gossip flowed wantonly in the streets and alleys of the capital.

At this moment, the mansion of His Highness the Ninth Prince was deserted, and the emperor sent his inner guards to seize the mansion to prevent anyone from entering.

Gong Yujiang raised a batch of pigeons before, and let them out. The old butler at the side passed the soup and said, "Your Highness, do you really want to let the rumors in the capital spread like this?"

"Of course." Gong Yu took the hot soup, frowned slightly and said: "Father imprisoned me in this mansion just to make me submit, I have to say that the edict is white and black .”

The old housekeeper sighed: "But Your Highness is pale and frighteningly pale now, so it's better not to think too much."

Gong Yu gulped down the decoction and said, "It's nothing serious, except for a little dizziness, nothing else matters."

Now it is the beginning of autumn, and the outside is not as hot as it used to be. After the old housekeeper left, Gong Yu walked towards the pool with the sword in her hand mockingly.

In the past, Gong Yu felt that most of the swords were useless by herself, but she thought that it would be a big deal to wait to become an idle prince in the future, but now this situation is probably not possible.

The emperor was jealous and guarded, and the princes secretly schemed, and even getting married became a political victim.

"Your Highness, Miss Zhao is here." The servant outside the pavilion reported.

Without waiting for Gong Yu's reply, Zhao Anyue walked into the pavilion very unceremoniously.

"You are so seriously injured, why didn't Dai Ruyan come to see you?"

Gong Yu looked sideways at Zhao Anyue and responded, "What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Anyue approached dissatisfied and said, "I knew you were pretending to be stupid. The streets and alleys of the capital are full of bad things about me. Quickly tell me, did you spread it?"

"Father ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave, do you dare to come in?"

"Why can't I?" Zhao Anyue said with a smug smile, "We already have an engagement, and marriage is just around the corner."

Gong Yu slowed down her breathing and said, "You clearly know about my relationship with A Yan, but you still let Taifu force you to come forward."

"At first, I was still thinking about how you happened to appear at the place where Jin Zhaowen fell into the water. Now that I think about it, you are just waiting for me."

Zhao Anyue's expression didn't change, she just smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Of course it's not because you admire me, but you pester me repeatedly, even knowing that the person I want to marry is not you, and still force me to marry you." Gong Yu paused and looked at the sword in his hand Frowning tightly, he said, "Because you admire Dai Ruyan."

"Joke!" Zhao Anyue laughed a few times and said, "Aren't you confused, little boy?"

"I am a woman, and Ruyan is also a woman, why should I like her?"

Gong Yu chuckled a few times and said, "Yeah, I'm also wondering how it's possible."

"Until I remembered that you once told me that all the highnesses Dai Ruyan had come into contact with were hit one by one, so I secretly checked."

Zhao Anyue asked puzzledly, "What did you check?"

"I found out that Mrs. Zhao's daughter has a weird temperament, and she doesn't like lively banquets the most, but as long as there is a banquet with Dai Ruyan, Mrs. Zhao's daughter will definitely go to the banquet. Even when the third prince went down the boat and met the assassin, Zhao Anyue, you were also on the boat. ?"

Gong Yu swayed the sword lightly in her hand, walked a few steps, and said in a soft voice: "At that time, His Highness the Third Highness was the most powerful in the court, and he was incompatible with His Highness Fourth, and it is easiest to push the matter of being assassinated to His Highness Fourth."

"It's simply whimsical, why would I want to harm the prince?" Zhao Anyue said with a light smile.

"Yeah, I can't find a suitable reason after much deliberation." Gong Yu looked sideways at Zhao Anyue's maid and servant who was waiting outside, then turned her eyes back to the pavilion and said:

"Until His Highness the Sixth Highness was implicated in the case of leaking the questions, but the supervisor of the imperial examination was originally the Tai Tuo, why did he hand over the final exam to the fourth-rank official Zhou Wencai?"

"Of course, I didn't find any real evidence. It's just that there are so many coincidences in one place. I believe even the impossible truth."

Zhao Anyue smiled lightly, looked at Gong Yu with disdain in her eyes and said in a low voice: "Now that you've annoyed the emperor and offended the Dai clan in court, I'm afraid there's no chance of turning around. This whimsical idea is still rotten. Stomach is better."

Gong Yu followed with a smile, and lightly slashed across the wooden board with the sword in his hand, responding: "But you didn't refute, on the contrary, you are covering up your guilt with your laughter."

"I'm guilty?" Zhao Anyue shook her head and said, "Although you're not stupid, you think too naively and beautifully, that's why you hurt yourself like this."

"Am I still worried that you little boy will suddenly turn into a big bad wolf and bite me?"

Gong Yu's eyes fell on the sword in his hand, then he looked away and said: "The world is unpredictable, who knows until the last moment?"

"Stubborn?" Zhao Anyue smiled smugly and said, "You are really ridiculous. As a prince without the emperor's relatives and ministers' support, don't you understand that you are nothing now?"

"Then why do you still come to me to show off?" Gong Yu stared at Zhao Anyue and said, "I guess you just want to see me when I lost my mind."

"It's a pity." Gong Yu laughed mockingly: "Do you know that I kissed A Yan?"

"I even slept with her on the same bed, do you know that?"

Zhao Anyue's expression changed suddenly, her brows were tightly frowned as if she was holding back her emotions, Gong Yu sized her up and said with a smile: "Why does Zhao Anyue, who has always been bold and reckless, dare not admit that you are jealous of me?"

"It's ridiculous. If Dai Ruyan liked your little boy, he wouldn't let you fend for himself in this mansion." Zhao Anyue turned her head and looked away.

Gong Yu walked around Zhao Anyue, laughing loudly: "Yes, it's extremely ridiculous!"

"I also specifically asked Ayan if she knew Zhao Anyue, the daughter of the Grand Tutor. Guess what Ayan said?"

Zhao Anyue turned her head hesitantly, fixed her gaze on Gong Yu and asked, "What...how did she say?"

"Ayan said she didn't know her, and she never paid attention to your cleverness." Gong Yu said with a smile in her eyes: "And Ayan knows that you know her very well, but Ayan still doesn't take you seriously. In fact, you are not even worth mentioning to A Yan."

"You!" Zhao Anyue suddenly reached out and waved her hand, Gong Yu blocked the incoming hand and said, "Why are you so angry?"

"You are the same woman but you love another woman, you are jealous of her, you are crazy about her, but you dare not admit it, and you even go against her everywhere, slandering her secretly." Gong Yu said fiercely, shaking Zhao Anyue's hand away. :

"Even if I am desolate, I am still a prince, how can you allow me to run amok?"

Zhao Anyue stepped back, her eyes fell on the sword that Gong Yu had been holding, and she said in disbelief, "What do you want to do?"

Gong Yu smiled and said: "Of course I want to wait for you and me to get married and slowly torture you."

"you dare!"

"Why don't I dare?" Gong Yuqing raised the sword in his hand and waved lightly, half of the soft green curtain was broken.

"I dare to refuse the request of the Grand Tutor easily in the court, and I dare to disobey the order of my father, why don't I dare to kill you?"

Zhao Anyue stepped back and said: How many disciples in the court rely on my father for power..."

Before Zhao Anyue could speak, Gong Yu held up her sword to Zhao Anyue with a smile and said, "If you marry me, you will be my wife. Everyone knows that I am crazy, so why is a lunatic not accepted by everyone?" ?”

"Could it be that you think I really let you bully me?" Gong Yu approached and said, "As you said, we are going to get married, why are you hiding!"

The sword cut down the candlestick on the side, Zhao Anyue looked at Gong Yu in horror and ran towards the cup, Gong Yu cut off her way of retreat and smiled and said:

"Zhao Anyue, you can run today, but you can't run away in the future. Besides, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Why are you hiding?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhao Anyue quickly shouted: "Come here! His Highness Ninth Prince is crazy!"

Gong Yu stretched her arms and kept approaching Zhao Anyue, and the maidservants behind her ran in immediately.

"Don't come in!" Gong Yu waved back and shouted, the maids were frightened and dared not move.

And Harem Yu approached Zhao Anyue step by step, Zhao Anyue looked anxious and ran around, not at all as usual arrogance.

"Zhao Anyue!" Like playing hide-and-seek, Gong Yu called out methodically, and the sound of the sword in her hand slicing across the wooden board resounded.

Zhao Anyue suddenly picked up a vase from behind, Gong Yu turned around and swung her sword, the vase broke in two and fell to the ground.

The sword's edge came straight to Zhao Anyue's throat, and the trembling Zhao Anyue begged for mercy with red eyes: "Don't kill me!"

Gong Yu smiled and said, "Not to kill you?"

"I want to torture you slowly."

"I...I can ask my father to ask His Majesty to take it back."

"Don't you think I'll let you go by coaxing me like this?" Gong Yu asked with a frown.

Zhao Anyue leaned close to the pillar and did not dare to move around, the blade could pierce into her body if she was not careful, Zhao Anyue could even feel her shoulder blades had been pierced by the sharp blade.

Gong Yu looked at Zhao Anyue, who was proficient in planning, and caught a glimpse of the large number of guards running in from the front yard from the corner of her eye. She chuckled and said, "Your acting skills are very good. Even when I accidentally bumped into you and Zhou Wencai that day, I couldn't believe it." And reacted."

"But..." Gong Yu paused, looked at the approaching guards and shouted: "I'm going to kill you! Kill you crazy woman!"

The sword edge pierced Zhao Anyue's right shoulder blade, blood flowed quickly, and Zhao Anyue fainted from the whole body.

The guards from outside rushed in, and then Zhao Anyue's maid hurriedly helped Zhao Anyue, who was bleeding profusely, to leave.

Gong Yu couldn't stop laughing until those maidservants took Zhao Anyue away.

The pavilion was already in a mess, the guards retreated one after another, and the servant girls in the mansion did not dare to make a sound, so Gong Yu said: "Do you know what happened just now?"

The maidservants trembled and shook their heads in silence, Gong Yu smiled and said, "Let me go."

But after a while, Gong Yu was the only one left in the pavilion, the old butler came in with tea and cakes, the sword had already been thrown aside by Gong Yu.

Gong Yu lay on the low couch with a headache and asked, "Have all the maids been released?"

"Yes." The old butler put down the cakes and tea and sighed, "Why did your Highness make things like this?"

"I have to do this." Gong Yu sat up and said, "The crazier they talk about me outside, the more the Taifu will believe it, and the more afraid Zhao Anyue will be."

"Only they are afraid of me and dare not bully me, so they dare not really marry the Taifu's daughter to me."

The old housekeeper sent someone to clean up the things in the pavilion, and Gong Yu reached out to pick up the long sword, and only then did she understand why Dai Ruyan said to be strong, and only by being strong can she not be bullied and protect the people she wants to protect.

At least in this world where the jungle preys on the jungle, one must have a sword in one's hand, otherwise that day would not be so difficult.

Gong Yu leaned sideways and looked out at the lake, only feeling that the pavilion was filled with the smell of blood.

She tilted her head and breathed outwards, but couldn't alleviate the nausea. Gong Yu only ate half of the pastry, then slowly closed her eyes again, and couldn't help but think of Dai Ruyan, whom she hadn't seen for more than half a month.

Is she angry?Or is it really too busy?

After all, the big internal guards outside allowed Zhao Anyue to come in, which meant that the emperor was just the foot of the Forbidden Palace Jade.

After much deliberation, Gong Yu didn't think about it, so she could only comfort herself that Dai Ruyan must be too busy, there are important things to deal with.

After turning into the white dew season, the sky gradually cools down, and the teahouses in the capital are still lively.

"These days are really lively. A few days ago, when His Royal Highness collected grain and silver, he robbed the rich merchant's daughter by force. Hearing that the rich merchant's daughter was unbearable to be humiliated, she wrote a bloody letter and hung herself on the beam."

"What are these things, but the daughter of a rich businessman is really attractive!"

"In contrast, His Highness the Ninth Prince suffered a lot. After going crazy, he nearly killed the Taifu's daughter with a sword. I heard that the Taifu's daughter was dripping with blood when she left the palace. It was very scary. Yesterday the Taifu asked for the annulment of the engagement in court. The imperial edict came down this morning."

"Then the Ninth Prince is really crazy?"

"Of course, it's not true. The maidservant in their mansion saw with her own eyes that His Highness the Ninth Prince was bored in the courtyard, holding a sword in his hand all day long, and often practiced the sword at night to say something was wrong."

"Hey, this man is unlucky, even the royal family is in trouble!"

The words stopped intermittently, people came and went in the teahouse, and their voices were gradually covered by the yelling of the waiter.

Gong Yu in this mansion is still staying in the pavilion, except for the old housekeeper, no one is allowed to come in.

The imperial decree to annul the engagement was still thrown aside by Gong Yu, while Eunuch Li stared at the delirious Ninth Prince wiping his sword.

"Your Highness Ninth?" Eunuch Li heard the rumors all the way in the capital, and seeing His Highness Ninth, who was rumored to have gone mad, felt a little scared in his heart.

The Ninth Highness looked sideways at Eunuch Li, then wiped his sword and said in a low voice, "Don't speak!"

"I'm polishing my sword."

Eunuch Li was startled for a moment, then picked up the imperial decree and said with a smile: "But this imperial edict still has to be received by the Ninth Prince."

However, he didn't get any response, so Eunuch Li had no choice but to hand over the imperial edict to the old housekeeper, shook his head one after another, and then left with a group of guards outside.

After the old housekeeper sent Li Gong away, he returned to the courtyard. Gong Yu lazily fell on the low couch, holding sour plum soup in his hand, and sipping it.

"His Royal Highness expected very much, and the guards outside were also transferred."

Gong Yu put down the sour plum soup, opened the imperial decree, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "This Eunuch Li has been staying in this mansion for a long time, and I am almost tired."

The old housekeeper picked up the paper balls that had been thrown on the ground, caught a glimpse of the paper cranes on the side and asked, "Your Highness, what do you want to fold so many paper cranes in the past few years?"

"It's for blessing." Gong Yu put down the imperial decree, reached out to pick up the paper beside her and said, "It was supposed to be sent long ago, but it has been delayed."

"Your Highness is still young at heart, but the white paper cranes are used to pray for the dead in the palace. I think that person is very important to His Highness."

Gong Yu paused and said, "It's very important."

As for the people who are very important to Dai Ruyan.

The evening breeze was cool, candlesticks were placed in the courtyard, Gong Yu was lying sideways on the low couch, the sound of cicadas resounded very loudly, making people uneasy.

By the time of Haishi, Gong Yu still hadn't fallen asleep, and the guards outside the mansion had been withdrawn, so it was time for Ruyan to come and see her.

Even if it's only for one look, she should come.

But the more Gong Yu waited, the more he felt that it might be too late, so Dai Ruyan might not come tomorrow.

Eyelids closed sleepily, Gong Yu was still holding a sword in his arms, breathing gradually calmed down.

While half asleep and half awake, Gong Yu seemed to vaguely hear someone approaching. The footsteps were so soft that Gong Yu couldn't hear them clearly.

But Gong Yu didn't dare to move, she was afraid that the person who came came would be timid, until the person approached step by step until she sat on the low couch.

When the soft fingertips caressed Gong Yu's cheek, Gong Yu knew that Dai Ruyan had come.

Dai Ruyan seemed to be carefully half-holding Gong Yu and leaning against her arms, the hand that held Gong Yu lightly in the palm of her hand moved gently as if she was holding a baby.

Gong Yu slowly opened her eyes, saw Dai Ruyan's eyes full of worry through the moonlight outside, and said full of complaints: "I thought Ayan would not come to see me."

"Why did it take you so long to come here?" Gong Yu asked while lying on her back.

Dai Ruyan didn't make a sound all this time, just lowered his head and lightly touched Gong Yu's brow and cheek with his slightly cool lips, and finally landed on the corner of Gong Yu's mouth.

Gong Yu wanted to sit up and take a good look at Dai Ruyan, but Dai Ruyan's hand didn't let go, she just said out loud, "Xiao Jiu, don't move, let me give you a good hug."

"Then why don't you talk to me?" Gong Yu blinked, reached out to touch Dai Ruyan's cheek and said, "I thought it was just a dream of mine."

"Although it's been a while, the engagement has been annulled anyway." Gong Yu smiled and said, "Aren't you happy?"

Dai Ruyan shook his head and replied, "Xiao Jiu has lost a lot of weight."

"It doesn't matter, I like eating so much, I can grow meat in half a month."

Gong Yu's fingertips followed Dai Ruyan's brows, and landed on the corners of her eyes. Although it was too dark to see clearly, Gong Yu could still feel the scorching gaze.

The wind outside swayed the green curtain, and the shadow cast on the ground also swayed.

"I can't see Ayan clearly like this." Gong Yu lightly pulled Dai Ruyan's clothes and said, "Ayan lie down with me for a while, okay?"

Dai Ruyan, who had been quiet all this time, responded: "Okay."

Dai Ruyan, who was lying on his side, was still half-embracing Gongyu, Gongyu was hugged by Dai Ruyan, carefully looked at Dai Ruyan's expression and asked: "Ayan, do you miss me?"

"We haven't seen each other for several months." Gong Yu moved closer, hoping to see Dai Ruyan's appearance clearly.

Dai Ruyan slightly raised his fingertips to caress Gong Yu's scabbed scar and replied softly: "I think, of course I want to."

"Then why don't you reply to my letters? Many of the pigeons I released are letters to A Yan, has A Yan seen it?"

Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan and kissed her palm lightly, rubbed her palm lightly with her fingertips, and asked again: "Last time I remembered that Ayan's palm was red and swollen, how did you hurt it?"

"I accidentally made it, and it will be ready now." Dai Ruyan gently held Gong Yu's hand and said, "I keep all the letters, and I will take them out to look at them from time to time."

"Then why didn't you reply to my letter?" Gong Yu raised her head slightly to stare at Dai Ruyan's dark eyes, then lowered her head slightly and kissed Dai Ruyan's slightly tight lips, complaining, "I thought Ayan ignored me."

"I'm sorry." Dai Ruyan put her arms around Gong Yu lightly, her palm pressed against the back of Gong Yu's neck, breathing gently and said softly, "I failed to protect Xiao Jiu well."

"It's not Ayan's fault." Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan very seriously and said, "If I wasn't too weak, Father wouldn't force me like that, and Ayan wouldn't be worried."

"A Yan cried when he kissed me back then, right?" Gong Yu apologized and kissed Ru Yan's eyes, and said in a low voice:

"I'm the one who should say sorry."

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with tenderness in his eyes, and Gong Yu could feel it, even though Dai Ruyan didn't say a word.

After a long time, Dai Ruyan said, "But Xiao Jiu shouldn't hurt herself."

"I'm sorry." Gong Yu rubbed Dai Ruyan's cheek with her fingertips and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"But Xiao Jiu shouldn't hurt herself."

Dai Ruyan read this sentence calmly, but hugged Gong Yu tightly with his arms and whispered: "How can Xiao Jiu hurt herself?"

"Does Xiao Jiu know that when I pushed open the door of the temple, my hands were shaking?"

"I'm sorry." Gong Yu couldn't break away from Dai Ruyan's imprisonment and had to comply.

Dai Ruyan's hand strength was getting heavier, and Gong Yu's breathing was very unsteady.

Gong Yu wanted to take a good look at Dai Ruyan, but Dai Ruyan refused, but stubbornly hugged Gong Yu tightly and refused to let go.

"I'm very angry." Dai Ruyan said softly, "I'm angry with myself, and I'm even more angry with Xiaojiu, but in the end I couldn't help but want to see Xiaojiu."

"In the past few months, when Xiaojiu's head hurts badly, I often come at night, but I still can't forgive Xiaojiu."

"I'm sorry, I was too anxious at the time, and I really couldn't think of a better way." Gong Yu apologized anxiously.

Dai Ruyan was short of breath, and Gong Yu was surprised by her mood swings.

And the kiss that landed on the side of the ear was very light and very hot, Dai Ruyan's breath stayed beside Gong Yu's ear for a long time.

Gong Yu didn't move until Dai Ruyan took a bite hard, and then Gong Yu inadvertently let out a sound in pain.

"Does it hurt?" Dai Ruyan asked softly, rubbing the bitten place with her fingertips.

As if she wasn't the one who hit him hard just now, Gong Yu was still in pain and looked at Dai Ruyan puzzled.

"No...it hurts."

"Does it hurt?" Dai Ruyan pressed his fingertips again suddenly, Gong Yu took a deep breath, and hurriedly avoided Dai Ruyan's hand and shouted: "It hurts, it really hurts."

Only then did Dai Ruyan let go of her hand, looked at Gong Yu strangely and said in a low voice: "Every time I see Xiao Jiu frowning in his sleep with a headache, I want to bite hard."

"why?"

"This will give you a long memory."

Gong Yu only felt that these words were inexplicably horrifying, so she stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand and said, "There will be absolutely no next time."

Dai Ruyan Mo sighed, looked closely at Gong Yu and said: "If there is another time, I will lock you up with a chain so that you can't leave me for half a step."

"I promise there will be no next time!" Gong Yu quickly responded.

In the dark night, apart from the faint moonlight, there was no other light, Dai Ruyan was lying in the pavilion with Gong Yujing in his arms, the two of them were silent and did not speak.

The cicadas were still calling non-stop, Gong Yu couldn't fall asleep and couldn't bear to fall asleep and whispered:

"Ayan?"

"I'm here."

Gong Yu smiled, poked Dai Ruyan's palm with her fingertips and said: "The edict to annul the engagement has come down."

"I know."

"Are you not happy?"

"I'm not happy." Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu, held Gong Yu's troublesome hand in his palm and said, "But Zhao Anyue is well."

Er... is this a compliment?

Seeing Dai Ruyan's normal expression, Gong Yu asked, "Aren't you surprised, Ayan?"

"It's a little bit." Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's brow with his fingertips, his gaze was very gentle, Gong Yu looked at it in a daze, and then heard Dai Ruyan whisper: "Zhao Anyue, she deserves to die."

"But you can't die in the hands of Xiao Jiu."

Gong Yu didn't expect Dai Ruyan to speak so directly, and was still a little taken aback.

Dai Ruyan's fingertips stopped near the scab, and whispered in a low voice as if he was very familiar with the wound:

"Xiao Jiu, go to sleep, it's late at night."

"I dont want to sleep."

"why?"

Gong Yu blinked and said, "I want to see Ayan again."

"Stupid." Dai Ruyan covered Gong Yu's eyes with his palm, and said softly, "Now you are a fool in the eyes of everyone in the city, but you have to pretend to be good."

"I know." Gong Yu put his arms around Dai Ruyan and responded, "There are countless eyes staring at me now, I can't do anything wrong, otherwise it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Dai Ruyan's lips seemed to be kissing Gong Yu's cheek, he paused gently, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu stay well in this mansion, it's already bloody outside."

"I've heard about Brother Four, and it's out of ten that he was framed."

"Should be punished!" Dai Ruyan bit Gongyu's cheek lightly, her warm breath fell aside as soft as a feather.

Gong Yu smiled and did not escape the punishment, only heard Dai Ruyan say in a low voice: "The more people are fighting outside now, they won't have time to take care of us."

"Ayan is right." Gong Yu rubbed Dai Ruyan's cheek with her nose, kissed that soft lips lightly, and said with a smile: "I understand, no one can trust anyone nowadays, the most important thing is to take care of yourself .”

"What's the use of understanding?" Dai Ruyan intentionally avoided Gong Yu's kiss, gently rubbing Gong Yu's earlobe with her fingertips and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu has to keep it in mind, otherwise, if you leave this mansion, you may die again." Forget about it."

"I remember it." Gong Yu responded closely: "Not only what Ayan said, but Ayan's whole person is in my heart."

Dai Ruyan gently stroked Gong Yu's lips with her fingertips, looked at Gong Yu with twinkling eyes and said, "Xiao Jiu's words are better than anyone else's, but once she starts doing something, she doesn't care about it at all. If you miss me, don't..."

"Stop doing things that hurt yourself." Dai Ruyan paused and stopped before continuing: "Otherwise I won't forgive you."

Gong Yu hurriedly nodded and kissed the next generation Ruyan's fingertips in response: "No, I promise never again."

Dai Ruyan withdrew her hand, picked up a thin blanket and covered Gong Yu's body, and said, "Then still not sleeping?"

"I can not sleep."

"If you can't sleep, you have to sleep."

Gong Yu just wanted to show her head, but without thinking Dai Ruyan covered Gong Yu with a thin blanket, put on the blanket and hugged Gong Yu in her arms and whispered: "Don't move, go to sleep."

"The doctor said that you have a headache at night because you think too much."

"I don't think about anything other than Ayan in my head all day long." Gong Yu mumbled in the thin blanket.

"Poor mouth." Dai Ruyan kissed Gong Yu's cheek through the thin blanket and whispered, "Sleep, the injury will heal faster."

Although it is autumn time, it will not be cool that Dai Ruyan's clothes are very thin, Gong Yu who is a little closer can even feel the warmth of Dai Ruyan's skin.

Gong Yu couldn't help blushing, and lightly rubbed her forehead against Dai Ruyan and whispered, "Ayan, I'm uncomfortable being stuffed in here."

Before the words finished, Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to take away the thin blanket and said, "Then you should be quieter when you come out?"

Gong Yu nodded obediently, then stuck her head out and lay on the side.

The pool water illuminated by the moonlight shone slightly, and even Dai Ruyan's face was slightly smeared with a glimmer of light, Gong Yu looked at it before closing her eyes in satisfaction.

Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's wrist lightly in his palm, and fell asleep with his arms around her.

This night she slept soundly, and Gong Yu, who had no dreams all night, was awakened by the dazzling light outside.

And there was no Dai Ruyan beside him, last night seemed like a sweet dream, Gong Yu hugged the pillow and laughed foolishly.

When he felt the pain on the side of the ear, he stretched out his hand to touch it, probably Dai Ruyan was really out of breath, the wound might be really deep.

After washing, Gong Yu sent someone to take the medicine, but the old butler looked at it and asked in surprise, "Your Highness, the scar is really too deep."

Gong Yu held the bronze mirror and looked at it, and then saw the purple tooth marks on the wound, and the blood oozing was even more frightening.

The old butler at the side handed the ointment and said puzzledly, "How did Your Highness get out of this wound?"

amount……

This is a somewhat technically difficult question.

Gong Yu put on the ointment and explained hesitantly: "I don't know either. I had a nightmare last night. It was like a fierce evil bit me. When I woke up, I felt the pain was severe."

The old housekeeper was startled and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is a ghost!"

"The old slave should go and invite the mage."

Gong Yu listened to the old housekeeper's explanation with a blank face, and chose to acquiesce.

After all, this wound was not bitten by others, and Gong Yu herself was ashamed to say that she accidentally injured it.

The weather was fine, and Gong Yu was also in a great mood.

I cleaned up the account books in the store early, and the donation of porridge to the victims outside was still going on, so I still needed to settle an account, so I could think about how to arrange the follow-up events for the victims.

At noon, the old butler really invited a bunch of masters to do it, so Gong Yu had to put down the curtain and let them toss.

It's just that I didn't expect that after releasing several pigeons in the past few months, one of them flew back thumping.

Gong Yu got up and hugged the little pigeon, took off the letter paper, opened it and saw Dai Ruyan's reply:

【The letter has been read, don't read it】

This answer is too brief, right?

Poor Gong Yu, who was full of excitement, almost saw through the letter paper, and didn't see any other information inside.

When the ceremonies stopped, it was almost dusk outside, and Gong Yu was playing Go boringly by herself, when the old butler outside the pavilion suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Your Highness!"

"what happened?"

Gong Yu turned her head and saw the old housekeeper entering the pavilion panting, she poured a cup of tea and said, "Old housekeeper, don't worry."

"The Fourth Highness was arrested and imprisoned by His Majesty's order."

"Why?"

The old steward drank his tea and responded, "Due to the requisition of food, the Fourth Highness was sued by all the wealthy businessmen in the capital, but how dare the Yamen accept it? Unexpectedly, the Fourth Highness had a murder case with the rich merchant's daughter, and someone actually sued him." The imperial complaint was brought to the main hall, and the emperor was furious and arrested the Fourth Highness and imprisoned him."

"If it's just because of the lives of the people, the fourth brother will be released from prison in a short time, why should the old housekeeper be so flustered?" Gong Yu said looking at the chess game.

"But didn't His Highness tell the old slave to report any trouble in the capital?"

That's right...

Gong Yu paused and said, "Whose family's daughter did the Fourth Highness kill?"

"I heard that it was a girl from the Song family, the richest man in the capital, who committed suicide after being humiliated."

"If you commit suicide, it's likely that the fourth brother can shirk responsibility, unless someone takes advantage of this and takes other crimes to bring down the fourth brother." Gong Yu quietly put down the chess piece and said.

The old housekeeper drank his tea and said, "Then what does His Highness mean, send someone to investigate the situation?"

"Do not."

Gong Yu held the white chess pieces in his left hand and the black chess pieces in his right hand, looked at the chessboard seriously and said, "Send someone to investigate the situation quietly."

"Find a few little beggars at the end, so that no one will notice that I am investigating this matter."

"Why are you acting so cautiously, Your Highness?" the old butler asked in confusion.

Gong Yu turned her head to the side and said: "After all, the injury still hurts, I can't do anything reckless anymore."

The old housekeeper said with great relief: "What Your Highness said is that this head injury has not healed yet, so you really should think twice, and don't take risks."

Gong Yu looked down at the chess game, and reached out to touch the wound on the side of her ear. In fact, what Gong Yu wanted to say was that this wound is not the other.

When the night fell, Gong Yu ate her meal early, dismissed the maids in the backyard, and stayed in the pavilion early alone.

But in the dark night, fireworks suddenly bloomed, illuminating the entire silent mansion, Gong Yu looked sideways.

The fireworks didn't stop until the middle of the night, and Dai Ruyan didn't come either. When it was daylight, Gong Yu got up from the low couch in a daze with dark circles under her eyes.

The old butler looked in surprise at Gong Yu, who always woke up very late, and actually woke up when the fog was still deep.

"What's the matter today, Your Highness?"

Gong Yu drank the hot porridge, and didn't know how to tell the old housekeeper that Dai Ruyan didn't come last night.

After sighing several times, Gong Yu asked, "Who set off the fireworks in the capital for so long last night."

After the old steward sent someone to inquire, he hurried back and replied: "Last night, His Highness the Sixth Highness held a poetry banquet, and I heard it was very lively."

"Oh." Gong Yu lowered her head and answered in a muffled voice, and said nothing more.

The old housekeeper said hesitantly: "It seems that the lady on behalf has also gone to the banquet."

Only then did Gong Yu regain her spirits, at least she was sure that Dai Ruyan didn't come for no reason.

The old butler who was still full of worries at the side was inexplicably worried when he saw the change in Gong Yu's expression.

"Your Highness, don't be angry, Miss Dai may just go to the banquet because she can't shirk it."

Gong Yu smiled and said, "Why am I angry?"

"I'm happy."

The old housekeeper looked at Gong Yu in confusion and asked: "Is it possible that the lady on behalf of the lady has not visited in the past few months, and His Highness is not angry?"

"She has something to do, I understand."

Gong Yu drank the porridge and regained her former spirit, leaving only the old housekeeper who couldn't figure it out alone.

Because she can't leave the mansion for the time being, Gong Yu can only stay in the pavilion for the time being, practicing sword occasionally, or playing throwing pots.

After finally getting past noon, Gong Yu collapsed and fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was dusk outside.

Excitedly, Gong Yu asked people to prepare meals early, and after eating, it was like dismissing the maid yesterday.

When the night finally darkened under Gong Yu's expectant eyes, Gong Yu quietly waited for Dai Ruyan to appear, and even counted the cicadas outside boredly.

The light of the candlestick flickered slightly, and in the middle of the night, fireworks suddenly lit up outside again. When Gong Yu, who was full of hope, saw the fireworks, his hope was shattered.

Will Dai Ruyan go to the banquet again tonight?

Gong Yu crouched down on the low couch, looking at the gorgeous fireworks reflected on the water, imagining that Dai Ruyan was chatting and laughing with His Highness the Sixth Prince inexplicably.

Thinking of that scene, Gong Yu just felt like a big fool.

As the night deepened, the little flame of hope in Gong Yu's heart became smaller and smaller, until when Gong Yu fell asleep, she suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps.

Gong Yu regained her spirits immediately, and walked around the green curtain like a prank, only to see the figure gently walking towards the low couch where Gong Yu lay on weekdays, showing
