Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand holding his cheek and said, "Ah Yan's hand is so cold."

"Why don't Ah Yan wait for me here, I'll go get the umbrella."

"No." Dai Ruyan grabbed Gong Yu's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Jiu's robe is already half wet, if he runs back and forth now, will he really be disregarding his health?"

"No." Gong Yu couldn't break free from Dai Ruyan's clenched hand, so she could only comfort and say, "Then I won't go."

Dai Ruyan frowned a little and said in a low voice: "Biyu should bring someone to find us, Xiaojiu just stay patiently by my side."

When thunder and lightning flashed outside, dark clouds shrouded the sky above the palace, as if it was night.

Gong Yuqing hugged Dai Ruyan, looked at the pouring rain outside and said, "Ayan, I suspect that father is under house arrest by Brother Six."

"Why does Xiao Jiu doubt His Highness Six?"

"Because if I were the eldest brother, then naturally as long as I guard my father's death, I will be safe, and my father did not write down the imperial edict."

"And the fourth brother has the support of the Taifu, and he can still put pressure on the elder brother. Only the sixth brother urgently needs the father's edict. The father's bedroom has been arranged by the sixth brother so far. , even I couldn’t go in and take a look.”

Dai Ruyan put his palm close to Gong Yu's back and replied: "Then Xiao Jiu should also know that His Highness has something to do with His Majesty's serious illness."

Gong Yu opened the distance slightly, looked at Dai Ruyan face to face and nodded in response: "I guess the eldest brother is also afraid that once the sixth brother returns to the capital, the father might write down the imperial edict, so we should act first. powerful."

"Yes." Dai Ruyan leaned close to his forehead and lightly rubbed Gong Yu's cheek and said in a low voice, "Since they are working on their own, why doesn't Xiao Jiu watch the fire from the other side?"

"I can not."

Gong Yu said seriously: "If I watch the fire from the other side and don't take precautions in time, the fire will burn on me sooner or later."

"Whoever caused the fire started, it will also be extinguished by whom. The only thing Xiao Jiu has to do is to say that he will not be sick in the morning."

Dai Ruyan kneaded Gong Yu's cheek with his palm and smiled, "Besides, Xiao Jiu, hasn't he wondered why the Sixth Highness has been guarding His Majesty for several months, but instead becomes more irritable?"

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan blankly and asked, "Did Ah Yan know the stakes?"

"Could it be that I am such a powerful figure in Xiao Jiu's heart?"

"Ah."

Dai Ruyan frowned and asked: "Could it be that Xiao Jiu heard that the story of a storyteller is not good?"

amount……

Could it be that Dai Ruyan already knew about the storyteller?

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan appreciatively and said, "I... heard many people say that Ayan is amazing."

"Really?" Dai Ruyan leaned closer and asked, "Did many people tell Xiao Jiu that Miss Dai is a very scheming person?"

"Ayan why...why did you ask this?" Gong Yu retreated guiltily to avoid Dai Ruyan's inquiring gaze.

After all, the version of the story circulated in the capital was still written by Gong Yu.

Dai Ruyan put her arms around Gong Yu, lowered her head and bit Gong Yu's cheek and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu, do you believe them or me?"

"Of course I believe in Ayan."

"Then listen to me. From tomorrow onwards, you will say you are sick and will not go to court until the wedding banquet is over and everything will be resolved."

Gong Yu asked in confusion: "Why is Ah Yan so sure?"

Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's earlobe lightly with her fingertips and said in a low voice: "Because all of this is a trick, if Xiao Jiu falls into it, it will be a trick."

"Scheme?" Gong Yuman said seriously: "What does Ayan mean to say that someone is instigating the princes to fight?"

"It's not so much a provocation, it's better to say this is just a selection."

Obviously Gong Yu became more and more confused when he heard it, but Dai Ruyan said it so clearly that Gong Yu had to be suspicious.

Maybe Dai Ruyan didn't participate, but maybe he was secretly contributing to the flames.

Of course, Gong Yu chose to believe Dai Ruyan's words, because if someone deliberately provoked the forces of the princes to fight, calling illness is the best way to hide their strength.

People can't guess what card Gong Yu is holding in his hand, and try to stay out of it as much as possible, so that he can calmly and clearly speculate on the changes in the court situation.

The heavy rain came and those who hurried away were silent, Gong Yu turned her head to look outside, it seemed that it was much brighter, but there were still a lot of troubles at the moment.

Gong Yu couldn't help feeling annoyed: "But I still don't want others to disturb our wedding banquet."

"The wedding banquet will naturally be held as scheduled, besides, doesn't Xiao Jiu have a secret army?"

Dai Ruyan comforted softly.

"Ayan, how do you know?"

It was only last night that the military troops brought the guns into the capital, yet Dai Ruyan already knew about it today.

Dai Ruyan lightly pressed Gong Yu's slightly frowned brows with his fingertips and said, "Why are you so surprised?"

"I'm never surprised, why is Xiao Jiu so stunned?"

Gong Yu blinked and asked, "I'm not surrounded by people sent by Ayan, are I?"

"What's Xiaojiu thinking?" Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's cheek and said, "On weekdays, my people will take care of most of the belongings in and out of your mansion, but last night I found a few boxes that were originally loaded with silk and satin. But they were all gone, so I sent someone to check."

"I didn't expect to see muskets. Xiaojiu is so courageous that she has raised so many people outside."

amount……

I didn't expect Dai Ruyan to admit the fact of manning the mansion so confidently.

Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's fingertips and said softly, "Ayan, it's better to keep quiet, this is in the palace."

Dai Ruyan said with a mischievous smile: "Xiao Jiu will know the danger now?"

"Ayan is so bad, she actually arranged spies in my mansion."

"My original intention was not to inquire about Xiao Jiu's little secret."

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan helplessly, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Dai Ruyan's crooked eyes were full of smirks.

After a lot of effort, he made up his mind to fight back step by step. Dai Ruyan watched every step he took. Isn't this too shocking.

"The rain has stopped, we should leave."

When Dai Ruyan said that, he let go of his hand, and Gong Yu pulled Dai Ruyan's drooping clothes unhappily, looking sideways at Dai Ruyan's crimson clothes that are fresher than peach blossoms today.

After the dark clouds above the head drifted away, the sun came out from the clouds, and the surrounding area was much brighter.

Even the rouge on Dai Ruyan's lips was shiny and seductive, Gong Yu subconsciously raised her hand to wipe her lips, but luckily she didn't rub the rouge.

But secretly happy in his heart, he looked away again, and couldn't help feeling annoyed that he should have kissed more just now.

Dai Ruyan turned his head slightly to look at Xiang Gongyu, the slender and smooth neck was even more fair under the bright colored clothes.

Gong Yu hurriedly turned her head to the side to hide her beating heart, but heard Dai Ruyan softly said: "If you don't let go of my sleeves, I will let the palace people see it later, and you will have to spread your news again. It's a joke."

"Just let them laugh at the joke."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Dai Ruyan say: "Stupid."

Hey?

In the next second, the sleeve in his hand was ripped off by Dai Ruyan, and Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan puzzled.

Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "Left and right are just clothes, what can you do with them?"

The hand was empty for a moment, Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan sadly, she was about to get married, and she couldn't even pull her little hand.

It's really unreasonable.

Seeing that Gong Yu didn't make a sound, Dai Ruyan approached Gong Yu's cheek and said in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

"No."

"Also said no, Xiao Jiu won't peek at me anymore."

peep?

Did you get caught peeking just now?

Gong Yu blushed and lightly held Dai Ruyan's slightly cool fingertips in response: "I'm just looking at my wife."

"Poor mouth." Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "Who is your wife?"

"The marriage certificate has been signed and fingerprinted, and it's all recorded in the book now. Is it possible that Ah Yan wants to play tricks at this time?"

"You."

"I regard all my belongings as dowry gifts, and I wish I could write all the house on it."

"Silly."

Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's palm lightly with her fingertips and said, "Give these to me, and then I will have to bring the dowry. Wouldn't it be exhausting for the servant?"

"I'm happy." Gong Yu clenched her hands tightly and said, "I just want to give everything to my wife."

"Aren't you ashamed?" Dai Ruyan gently scratched Gong Yu's nose with fingertips and said softly:

"You're not married yet, so you just call her like that."

Gong Yu blinked and smiled, "What's so embarrassing?"

"Unless Ah Yan is shy, don't let me call."

Dai Ruyan's ink-like eyes were filled with brilliant brilliance, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Then Xiao Jiu should also call Ma'am to be more reasonable."

"lady?"

"En." Dai Ruyan stroked Gong Yu's palm with his fingertips and said softly, "Would Xiao Jiu call to hear?"

amount……

Why do you always feel that Dai Ruyan is teasing small animals?

However, Gong Yu, who fell headlong into it, of course softly called out: "Ma'am."

"Ma'am, are you satisfied?"

Dai Ruyan bent her eyebrows and seemed to respond happily: "Yes, my little husband is so good."

Sure enough, he was tricked.

Gong Yu said unwillingly: "Then it's Ayan's turn to call my husband?"

"Does Xiaojiu want to hear it?"

"I want to hear it."

"But……"

Dai Ruyan's thin lips were slightly pursed, eyes full of cunning looked at Gong Yu, and he responded with a drawn-out voice: "I can only call you little husband."

Hey?

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in bewilderment, knowing that Dai Ruyan's eyes were blatantly teasing, but she couldn't get angry and said: "Ah Yan is broken."

"Isn't my little husband much weaker in terms of momentum?"

"Weak?"

Dai Ruyan said disapprovingly, then leaned closer to Gong Yu's ear and whispered softly: "Then why don't you just call the little lady?"

Little lady?

It's over, Gong Yu's heart trembled at the sound of the little lady's chanting.

Gong Yu has sufficient evidence, this is definitely Dai Ruyan's blatant molestation!

I saw Biyu rushing over in front of her with the look of a maidservant, and Dai Ruyan next to her let go of her hand with a serious face, leaving Gong Yu with a flushed face who hadn't recovered from being molested.

Because her clothes were soaked, Gong Yu couldn't stay with Ruyan for a while, so she went straight back to the mansion.

The old housekeeper handed the ginger soup, and said puzzledly: "Didn't Your Highness bring an umbrella this morning?"

"It's gone." Gong Yu responded with a sip of ginger soup.

The bewildered old housekeeper murmured in a low voice: "Your Highness is very weak. If you catch the wind and cold, I'm afraid it will delay the wedding banquet."

When Gong Yu heard that he was gulping ginger soup, he stood up and said, "I'm going for a run."

"Run?" The old housekeeper picked up the robe that fell aside, looked at Gong Yu who was already doing warm-up exercises, and murmured: "It's broken, let the doctor in the mansion come and have a look, I'm afraid His Highness has already Somewhat delirious."

After running to warm up like this, Gong Yu took another hot bath and drank several cups of ginger soup one after another. Fortunately, everything was fine the next day, and the old housekeeper was relieved.

However, Gong Yu still took sick leave, and has not been to the morning court since then.

The time of half a month is not long, but it is not so short that it can pass in the blink of an eye. After only two days, Gong Yu couldn't bear to go to Dai Ruyan's courtyard.

But before he stepped out of the mansion, the old housekeeper had repeatedly warned: "Your Highness, please don't go to the girl's place, it will be bad luck if you go before you get married."

Ever since, Gong Yu could only go back to the house to practice swords. As for why she wanted to practice swords?

At that time, because of Dai Ruyan's teasing that day, the words "little lady" could not get rid of Gong Yu's mind.

When I get up early and run, I think of these three words in my head, and when I eat, I also think about these three words. Even when I sleep, I dream that I am wearing a bride's wedding dress, and Dai Ruyan is wearing a groom's red robe, like a handsome nobleman.

When Qin Hua arrived, Gong Yu had just finished practicing a set of sword techniques, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and they couldn't bear it, and they were about to wither.

"Your Highness."

"What's the matter?"

Gong Yu was tossing the specially made small dumbbell in his hand. It was beautiful to imagine, but it was heavy enough to handle.

"The witnesses of the Imperial Physician Song have already gone to Dali Temple."

"So fast?" Gong Yu slowly put down the small dumbbell, wiped the sweat from her forehead, walked towards Qin Hua and said, "The rumors in the capital seem to be fueling the fire."

Qin Hua nodded in response: "This morning, the fourth highness satirized this matter very rudely, and focused on the cause of the death of the sixth highness's mother and concubine. It seems that the sixth highness is about to be unable to sit still."

Gong Yu took a few sips of sour plum soup and said, "The day before yesterday, Mr. Qin asked Mr. Qin to investigate the empress's affairs before she entered the palace. Did you find anything?"

"The empress lived in the old Dai's house in Changzhou when she was young, until she entered the capital at fourteen, and entered the imperial palace at fifteen." Qin Hua paused and said:

"It's just that the empress seems to have been taking some kind of medicine for a long time, and she said that she is physically weak, but the empress looks ruddy, and she doesn't look like a weak person."

"So did you find any intimate man?"

"When I was in Changzhou, the empress was extremely strict. She didn't even go to the banquets of close friends in the boudoir. After the capital, she didn't go out of the palace very much. Only once attended a banquet, she met Her Majesty in disguise, and entered the next year. palace."

Gong Yu couldn't help being surprised, thinking that it would be very interesting for the emperor to be the queen in this kind of bridge, but they have been together for so many years and have never been married, which is unreasonable.

And what the queen said in the rain that day was obviously abandoned by that man. Could it be that she fell in love with another man at the banquet?

"Are any of the men who attended the banquet that day dead now?"

After all, Dai Ruyan mentioned that the empress seems to have eloped with that person, but later she came back covered in blood. Could it be that the empress was insane, or that the playboy cheated on her and was killed?

Thinking of this, Gong Yu inexplicably felt that it seemed a little dangerous.

No, although Dai Ruyan has a domineering personality sometimes, she has never hurt herself, and besides, how could she be a scumbag.

Gong Yu comforted herself, and Qin Hua at the side called out with a somewhat unpredictable look on Gong Yu's face: "Did your Highness think of something?"

"No."

"Back then, most of the people at the banquet were the sons of officials, but now they are all in their 40s. There are too many people who died in the ups and downs of the officialdom."

"Are there any accidental deaths in that year or the next year?"

Qin Hua thought for a while and said: "In the peaceful and prosperous era, there were only three people in the whole country who were sentenced to death by the strict palace laws, and there were no other robbers and theft criminals."

"However, there is a new official who came to the capital from Changzhou. It seems that he fell from the hillside and died because of drunkenness. It's just that he didn't attend the banquet because of his low official position."

Gong Yu approached and said: "Mr. Qin, trouble me to find out the reason of this person with me, especially the real cause of his death."

"Yes."

Qin Hua then left the pavilion.

If the official was killed by the queen, then the death of falling from the hillside was covered up by the Dai family.

But if the queen still hates the Dai family, it's not reasonable.

Another possibility is that the official was killed by the Dai family, and the queen saw the official's death with her own eyes that night, so she collapsed?

Regardless of the outcome, what happened back then should be related to the Queen's entry into the palace.

Gong Yu sighed, and couldn't help but lament that it was fortunate that she was dressed as His Highness, otherwise, wouldn't it have been solved by the Dai family early on.

The old housekeeper who was arranging for someone to repair the mansion came over and asked, "Your Highness, your favorite cubicle, do you want someone to go in and tidy it up?"

"What cubicle?"

"It's a small compartment in the side hall. In the past, His Royal Highness loved to stay there. In order to prevent people from entering, the room was specially locked."

Gong Yu looked at the old housekeeper blankly, wondering if this small cubicle is really Gong Yu's favorite place to stay?

There may be some secrets in there, and it's not necessarily true.

"Please trouble the old housekeeper to take me there."

The two walked around the entire mansion before arriving at the small cubicle that the old housekeeper mentioned. Gong Yu looked in amazement at the ten brass locks hanging on it.

I'm afraid it's not telling the people in the whole mansion that there are some shocking secrets inside.

"Does the old housekeeper have a key?"

"Your Highness, you forgot that only you have the key to this cubicle."

amount……

"Someone break down this door."

The old butler said in shock: "His Highness really wants to demolish it?"

"Of course, you can't get in if you don't dismantle it."

Otherwise, where would Gong Yu go to find ten keys.

It took a lot of effort for the guards to forcefully kick the door open. The dust inside was very choking. Gong Yu held a handkerchief and covered her nose and said, "How many years has this cubicle been open?"

The old housekeeper at the side explained very seriously: "It's been five years."

That is, since passing through, I have never entered this cubicle again.

Gong Yu asked others to wait outside, with only two guards, and then entered the cubicle. Inside, there was only one bed in a square shape, and the only empty wall was a Buddha portrait.

And this Buddha portrait is in Dai Ruyan's courtyard, and it is also on the cruise ship, but I didn't expect Zhengong Yu to have it.

I'm afraid this is not something that only crazy fans can do.

It's just that this Buddha portrait seems to be old, and it is covered with ashes. Gong Yu looks around, and the walls are empty, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is any secret.

Gong Yu approached the Buddha portrait, and subconsciously wanted to take it down to see if there was any mechanism behind it.

But I didn't expect that there was a mechanism behind the Buddha portrait. Gong Yu stretched out her hand to push it away, and saw a turntable inside.

Apparently some kind of hidden compartment was opened, Gong Yu stretched out her hand and turned slightly, looked sideways into the room, her eyes stopped on the bed as if she had moved out.

The guards guarded the front one after another. Gong Yu looked at the dark hole and could vaguely see the stairs, presumably it was a basement structure.

"Bring the lighted candlestick." Gong Yu ordered.

I saw the candlestick swaying slightly in front of the dark compartment. I guess the inside is not a completely closed secret room, at least the air is still circulating.

One guard stood guard in front of the secret compartment, and the other guard entered the secret compartment with Gong Yu, only to see that the stone steps were broken deep, and the cooler they went, the cooler they went.

The guard in front suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this seems to be the only dark room here."

Holding the candlestick in her hand, Gong Yu could barely see the specifications of the dark room, but there was no pile of gold, silver and jewels, nor all kinds of torture instruments that Gong Yu imagined.

The things inside are neatly arranged, there are bookcases, desks, and the four treasures of the study, but on the other side is a neat stack of clothes, even a lot of jewelry, even women's rouge and gouache. .

Could it be that Gong Yu usually wears women's clothing here to relax?

Light up the candlestick in the dark room, and the field of vision immediately brightens.

Gong Yu sat in front of the desk, staring at some strange objects in the room, and reached out to open a drawer beside her.

A box was placed inside, and the lock was opened, and a handkerchief was neatly placed in the box.

This handkerchief was embroidered with pear blossoms and even mixed with a faint fragrance, which even made Gong Yu feel very familiar.

It's just that this fragrance is very similar to the incense in the Ruyan Palace of the previous generation?

Gong Yu subconsciously looked at the incense burner at the side, and sure enough, the spices inside were very similar to the spices Dai Ruyan used in the past.

Looking around at these objects again, Gong Yu seriously suspects that these are actually Dai Ruyan's personal items.

I can't help but feel my scalp tingle, it's obvious that this real palace jade has some special hobby.

After wandering around in this dark room for a long time, Gong Yu finally stopped in front of the bookcase. She just flipped through it by accident, but she didn't expect that the books in it were simply amazing.

Unexpectedly, there are such banned books in this palace country, Gong Yu said that she really has learned a lot.

Seeing Gong Yu's surprised expression, the guard at the side quickly asked, "Your Highness?"

Gong Yu closed the book like a guilty conscience and replied: "It's nothing."

These are not made by myself, why are you guilty?

In a blink of an eye, I flipped through the other things on the bookcase, only to find a street map of the capital city of Gongguo folded in the innermost layer. Gongyu unfolded it on the desk. Looking at the map, it can be said to be very detailed.

After hundreds of years of continuous expansion of the capital city, there are twelve main streets, and there are countless trails and alleys.

It's just that I didn't expect that the map even drew the passages in the capital palace very clearly.

Gong Yu held up the street map of the capital, and suddenly found some specially marked black dots on it.

One is my mansion, and the rest seem to have teahouses, wine shops, and even brothels.

At first glance, these black spots seem to appear at intervals, but no other pattern can be found, the only thing is that they are all outside the imperial city.

Could it be some secret stronghold?

Of course, Gong Yu couldn't see it for the time being, but just closed the map, and the old butler outside called out: "Your Highness, it's time for lunch."

Gong Yu responded, and then left the dark room, but the person closed the dark room, repaired the door and locked it again.

Another day passed, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Gong Yu unfolded the map on the desktop and asked people to find out what the connections were between those places.

When the night was dark, there were stars outside the pavilion, and Gong Yu folded a thousand paper cranes alone.

Fireworks suddenly bloomed in the night, and the bang bang sounded, covering the ears of the non-stop cicadas.

The old butler prepared the tea and said, "Your Highness, the Thousand Paper Cranes are almost folded into several big boxes."

Gong Yu looked sideways at the fireworks, turned around and folded a small boat, stood up and placed it beside the pool.

"Where is the banquet held tonight, with such long fireworks?"

"I heard that Princess Gong Qingyan, the daughter of Prince Rong, hosted a banquet for her close friends."

"It's her?" Gong Yu has always heard about this Gong Qingyan, but has never had direct contact with her.

I heard that this Gong Qingyan was a rival to Zhao Anyue, although she was the same age as Dai Ruyan, but this Gong Qingyan divorced within a month of each marriage.

Moreover, the reason for reconciling and leaving is hard to find out, because she always dislikes the county matriarch every time.

Yes, it is so bold and straightforward, so every time it is said that it is reconciliation, in this era, it is tantamount to being ashamed and angry with many county matriarchs, so most of the county matriarchs are angry and divorced.

Gong Yu watched the paper boat wandering crookedly in the pool water, but unfortunately it sank after a while.

The old butler put the ginseng soup on the low table beside him and said, "The princess of this palace also sent a post, did your Highness forget?"

"It's just that I didn't think about it just now." Gong Yu picked up the ginseng soup, blew on it and drank it in small sips.

"Your Highness looks a little weak at the moment, you still need to make up for it." The old housekeeper said earnestly.

Caught off guard by this sentence, Gong Yu almost spit out the ginseng soup that Gong Yu hadn't swallowed.

Is there really no other meaning in these words?

"Old butler, what did you say?"

Gong Yu swallowed hurriedly.

"The old slave is telling the truth." The old housekeeper responded by putting some insect-repelling herbs into the incense burner: "Nowadays, outside is talking about the marriage between His Highness and the maid."

"Although Your Highness is a little younger, he is still young and vigorous. On the wedding day..."

"stop!"

Gong Yu hurriedly poured ginseng soup and said: "It's late at night, the old housekeeper should go to bed earlier."

The old housekeeper smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is getting married for the first time, and he has never taken a concubine before, so this old slave will inevitably have to chatter."

Fortunately, Gong Yu urged the old housekeeper to rest after pouring the ginseng soup, and the pavilion became quiet.

Gong Yu was lying on the bamboo couch with her head resting on a soft pillow, inexplicably looking forward to it, after all, after tonight, there were only ten days left.

The cicadas buzzing outside kept ringing, and the fireworks also stopped, but Gong Yu couldn't calm down no matter what.

Dai Ruyan likes the elegant style on weekdays, but occasionally she wears heavy makeup, but no matter what, Gong Yu naturally likes it.

I just couldn't help but think that Dai Ruyan must be extremely beautiful in the red wedding dress.

The unpredictable Gong Yu only felt that she was like a big girl who was about to get married. Sometimes her heart beat fast, and sometimes it beat very slowly. Just thinking about it was exciting.

Perhaps the old housekeeper never expected that Gong Yu would lose sleep that night because of this unintentional remark.

The next day after Gong Yu washed up, the old housekeeper stepped into the pavilion with porridge and rice, and saw that Gong Yu's eyes were blue and black, and he asked with a tired face, "Didn't sleep well last night, Your Highness?"

Gong Yu took a picture with the bronze mirror in her hand, the dark circles under her eyes were so heavy that she couldn't go out.

"Maybe the mosquitoes were too disturbing last night."

The old butler placed the porridge bowl in confusion and said, "Then I will try another mosquito repellent today."

Hey, who made last night so excited.

There was nothing to do in the morning, Gong Yu practiced sword skills, but the servant came to report the second princess Gong Ling's visit.

Hearing this news, Gong Yu inexplicably thought of a sentence, most of the people who came uninvited came to find fault, and the second princess obviously had no other purpose.

The two sat down, Gong Yu took a sip of tea, the second princess was still dressed gorgeously, and her makeup was also eye-catching.

It's just that this expression is a bit too indifferent, so that Gong Yu can't even smile politely.

"I don't know why Second Sister Huang came here today?" Gong Yu asked while holding a water glass.

The second princess, Gong Ling, sneered: "We haven't seen each other for half a year, and our relationship has become estranged. Xiao Jiu doesn't even call me second sister."

"What did the second sister say?"

"I heard that you have suffered from typhoid fever recently, so you have refused many banquets. I will come here today to see how Xiao Jiu is doing."

This straightforward gaze made Gong Yu inexplicably nervous, after all, Gong Yu didn't want to do it again after the exciting experience on the cruise ship last time.

"Second sister worried too much, she is much better now."

The second princess smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, she just took the post and put it on the low table and said: "You and Dai Ruyan have also made a marriage contract, and now I haven't seen you in half a month, why don't you come to my banquet, maybe I can still see Dai Ruyan."

Hongmen Banquet?

Gong Yu rubbed the warm cup wall with her fingertips and responded: "The doctor said that he was sick and recuperated, so I'm afraid he won't be able to go to the second sister's banquet."

"Xiao Jiu, are you afraid that I will harm you?"

The second princess, Gong Ling, asked directly.

Afraid?Of course I'm afraid.

Not to mention that the two princesses usually ally with the remnants of His Highness the Third Highness, and seem to be quite close to His Highness, no matter what medicine is sold in this gourd, it is definitely not a good medicine.

Gong Yu nodded sincerely and said: "The marriage is approaching, and there are still many affairs to be dealt with in the mansion."

The second princess, Gong Ling, looked at Gong Yu very displeased, she didn't have the usual smiling and natural demeanor, but now she looked more like a wolf.

"Does Xiaojiu think that if she really marries Dai Ruyan, she will be able to get that seat?"

"Second sister, what does this mean?"

"Everyone wants to use the power behind Dai Ruyan to climb the dragon chair, but how can Dai Ruyan be willing to become a puppet queen?" The second princess Gong Ling said unwillingly: "Since Xiaojiu's same generation Ruyan's imperial edict After downloading it, I wanted to invite her to meet up several times, but she flatly refused."

"Xiao Jiu, help me, okay?"

Gong Yu clearly saw the madness in the eyes of the second princess, Gong Ling, and quickly responded: "Sister Dai didn't like to go out in the past, but now that her wedding is approaching, she is too busy to come to her, so why is Second Sister in such a hurry?"

"Do you want me to watch her marry Xiaojiu with my own eyes?"

The second princess Gong Ling got up angrily: "I will never allow it!"

Gong Yu got up and grabbed the hilt of the sword she was wearing, just in case, if the second princess Gong Ling suddenly rushed towards the queen like that, it would be impossible to guard against.

"Right now, Xiao Jiu's marriage is rumored all over the city, and everyone is talking about Dai Ruyan marrying His Highness Jiu, who is four years apart."

The second princess, Gong Ling, kept approaching and said: "They say she has no sense of shame, and some even say that she picks on Xiao Jiu's youth and ignorance, so she can control her in the future. Don't you mind Xiao Jiu?"

Gong Yu drew out her sword to stop the second princess Gong Ling from approaching and said, "Second sister, please respect yourself!"

"Haha!" The second princess, Gong Ling, smiled, as if she didn't care, she stroked the blade with her fingertips and then held it tightly, blood flowed out quickly.

But the second princess, Gong Ling, didn't show any pain on her face, instead she said as if she didn't care:

"If I am not the Second Princess but the Second Highness, I will never let anyone take Dai Ruyan away, no one!"

"You... crazy!"

"I'm crazy." The second princess Gong Ling approached with a smile and said, "Dai Ruyan should know, since she wrote the marriage letter with her own hands, I've been crazy."

When the guards came in, they were shocked to see the second princess Gong Ling dripping with blood.

Gong Yu threw the sword aside, thinking that if she accidentally killed the second princess, she would not be able to wash away the crime.

The second princess, Gong Ling, looked straight at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Jiu, if you give up this marriage despite the difficulties, I promise to do my best to help you get that seat."

"Second sister, calm down, the marriage contract has already been issued, and this matter has long been irreversible."

"Irreversible?" The second princess Gong Ling approached, and Gong Yu backed away.

The guards drew their swords one after another, and the scene became very tense, Gong Yu hurriedly said: "Second sister is not feeling well, please send second sister back home."

The second princess, Gong Ling, smiled, raised her hand to look at the blood on her palm, her eyes seemed to be red and said, "That's the end of the story, Xiao Jiu is obsessed with it, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

The laughter was very human, and when the people left, Gong Yu couldn't help but feel a little sick when she saw the blood on the ground.

At noon, Gong Yu had no appetite and only drank some porridge. The scorching sun outside seemed to be entering early summer.

For the second princess's words, Gong Yu was afraid that she would do something more extreme than self-mutilation.

In the evening Qin Hua came in a hurry, but Gong Yu was holding sour plum soup and hadn't had time to take a sip.

"Has Your Highness ever been injured?"

"No problem." Gong Yu took a sip of the sour plum soup and said, "Mr. Qin, take a seat."

Qin Hua straightened his clothes and robes, sat straight across from him and said very seriously: "I heard that the second princess has an extremely casual temperament and gets along with others in peace on weekdays, so why would she have a bloody fight with His Highness?"

"Has it already spread like this outside?"

Gong Yu couldn't help laughing, looking at the chess game in front of her, she responded, "She just wants to make a big fuss, but as long as the acting sister ignores it, it's irrelevant."

"At this moment, the second princess is clearly forming an alliance with His Royal Highness, and His Fourth Highness is clenching the doubts about the death of His Royal Highness's mother and concubine in the court hall.

Qin Hua paused, handed the paper in his sleeve to Gong Yu and said, "This is the record of the official who fell to his death on the hillside."

Gong Yu reached out to take it and looked at it and asked, "Isn't the cause of death a bit too hasty?"

Excessive bleeding?

Those who were stabbed by a knife, given by a sword, or hit on the head by a stone all lost blood.

"It is said that it was raining heavily that night, the mountain road was slippery, and the carriage crashed very seriously. The government didn't even judge it as a case, but just recorded it hastily." Qin Hua folded his hands in his robe and said:

"When this incident happened, his family seemed to have complained, but then there was no news, and the family left the capital."

It looks like they were forced to do so.

It is not impossible to do such a small matter with the power of the Dai family, Gong Yu looked at the name on the paper, Liang An.

Although Liang An's background was not high, but because of his outstanding talent, he entered the official career very smoothly. He even moved his family from Changzhou to the capital to become an official.

"Then, did Mr. Qin have someone inspect Liang An's body?"

Qin Hua approached slightly and said, "The weird thing is that Liang An's body is missing."

Gong Yu couldn't help feeling that there was a dark and evil wind behind her. Could this be a fantasy story?

"Isn't Mr. Qin joking?"

"When a person dies, there will naturally be a corpse. Could it be that he was resurrected?"

"No." Qin Hua shook his head and replied, "I personally went to check the bones placed in the coffin, but found that the bones were not Liang An."

Gong Yu couldn't help thinking deeply, if it wasn't for Liang An's body, then it is possible that Liang An had either been destroyed or the real Liang An was not dead.

"What did your Highness think of?"

"Suppress this matter for the time being, and investigate it in detail later."

"Yes." Although Qin Hua's eyes were puzzled, he still responded: "The most urgent task is how to get His Highness out of the rumors in the capital."

"Could it be the second princess again?"

Qin Hua shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's more like His Highness the Sixth Highness wants to drag His Highness into the water. The rumors about the Sixth Highness's concubine getting sick seem to have involved your Highness, who was also sick back then."
