Hearing this, he guessed that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness was most likely to do it, and that the misfortune had to be poured on others before he could be cleared of his suspicions.
"The wedding candies for the wedding banquet are all ready, Mr. Qin, would you like to take one back home to taste?"
"This is Your Highness?" Qin Hua asked in confusion.
"Instead of being bored at home all day and letting the people outside be suspicious, it's better to completely disrupt this muddy water."
So Gong Yu led a group of people to beat gongs and drums and distributed copper coins and red envelopes in the streets of the capital, along with wedding candies and pastries.
Wherever he went, the people surrounded him, and there were many children scrambling to beg for candies.
And Gong Yu asked people to spread the news for ten days, and every day in the capital, happy money and sweets would be distributed in the capital.
In less than two days, the rumors all over the city changed again, and the teahouse was full of voices, happily discussing how much money each of them had received.
"This Ninth Highness is probably really stupid, the money is scattered like rain from the sky."
"Isn't that right? It's not uncommon for us to see princes and lords get married, but the only one who throws money like water is this silly Highness. We walked around yesterday and got nearly a hundred copper coins."
"What are you guys doing? I have received a full ingot of silver."
"I heard that His Highness the Ninth Prince will continue to give out wedding money until the day of marriage, why don't our teahouses and restaurants close down, and all the big guys go to get the money!"
"That's right, this crazy and stupid Ninth Highness might as well get married a few more times, and we ordinary people won't have to worry about food and clothing this year."
There was a burst of laughter in the tea shed, only the waiter who was busy with work was left running upstairs and downstairs with a teapot.
After another two days like this, Gong Yu was completely tanned, so she only asked the guards to throw wedding candy and money.
The old housekeeper came forward with the ginseng soup, looked at Gong Yu lying on the bamboo couch with a homemade yogurt mask on his face, and asked in a low voice with complicated eyes: "Your Highness, don't you really burn your head like this?"
amount……
"No." Gong Yu couldn't speak, so she could only respond briefly: "I think I can't finish the yogurt, so don't waste it."
"Then His Highness shouldn't be putting on his daughter's makeup on his face. Most of the men in Gong Guo look down on these things. If this is spread, His Highness may add another joke to the people."
"It's okay, just let them talk."
When the old housekeeper left, Gong Yu was still lying flat on the bamboo couch, reaching out her hand to take out the creed from Qin Hua from her sleeve pocket.
【Thirty people entered the city every half an hour yesterday, about three to four hundred people entered Dongluo Tower and ten other places, and this group of people never came out again. 】
Dongluo Tower?
Gong Yu got up, stepped on the wooden board barefoot, and turned to unfold the map.
Most of these black spots are in densely populated areas, or inns, or casinos, or brothels, but how could people disappear for no reason?
Gong Yu, who was thinking secretly, sipped the ginseng soup, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the map that seemed to exist along with the streets.
Fingertips follow the connection little by little, from the intersection of the East Alley to the junction of the West Alley at the end, and so on, drawing layer by layer.
It seems that the only difference is that the interior of the palace is not marked with black spots, otherwise the connections along the streets around it seem to be in the shape of spider webs.
The black spots that seemed to be scattered before will become more and more obvious now. This spider web exists like a transportation channel.
But the streets in the capital city are already divided very carefully. Although they are occasionally crowded, they are still very convenient.
What is the special use of these sites that are as familiar as spider webs?
After Gong Yu finished drinking the ginseng soup, her eyes stopped at the Dongluo Tower, and suddenly found that this point was connected to six lines at the same time, and she couldn't help thinking of Qin Hua's letter saying that there were ten other places.
In order to look more comprehensive, Gong Yu deliberately stood a little farther away, and took a note of the names of the points where the lines gathered, and there were exactly ten places.
That is to say, someone also knows the existence of this map, and even that person knows better than Zhen Gongyu what the purpose of this black spot is.
What kind of person would make Zhen Gongyu care so much?
At present, Dai Ruyan is most likely to be the one, but what is Dai Ruyan planning?
Gong Yu put the bowl aside, and deliberately looked for a spider thread connecting the Ruyan mansion of the same generation as the mansion above.
Seeing that there was indeed one on the map, Gong Yu hurriedly pulled the map, wearing a sword, and took a Zodiac candle along the way to rush to the cubicle.
The guard was looking at the cubicle, Gong Yu went in alone, and then opened the mechanism of the darkroom.
Entering the dark room again, Gong Yu held the candle and carefully watched the direction of the flame shaking.
Last time, I just ignored where is the wind coming from in this dark room?
Seeing the light wind shaking the candlelight behind the bookcase, Gong Yu fumbled but couldn't push it away, guessing there must be a mechanism.
Then I searched for the mechanism in front of the most obvious desk. When I turned the pen holder, I found that the pen holder was fixed. I turned right and saw that the bookcase moved away.
Gong Yu held the long sword and looked nervously at the dark passage, lit the candle and walked into the passage alone.
Follow the directions on the map to turn the passage. The passage is very spacious, and even the air is very circulated. When you reach a few corners, you can even hear the rattling of horseshoes on the ground.
Occasionally, there will be bright lights shining from above, and Gong Yu suddenly realizes that this may be the sewer of the capital.
It's just that the scale here is not a sewer. Perhaps it was deliberately concealed when it was built, so it is not impossible to mix these passages into the sewer project.
But who has such a large financial and material resources?
Royal Family or Dai Family?
In any case, Zhen Gongyu must have gone to Dai Ruyan through these passages, so he knew that Dai Ruyan also had Buddha portraits.
After walking for a long time, Gong Yu couldn't help feeling a little tired. After all, he had walked half of the capital on foot, so it would take a long time to ride a horse on weekdays.
Wiping the sweat from his cheeks with his robe, he suddenly heard the sound of horses coming from a fork.
Gong Yu blew out the candles in time and hid in the dark, only to see that the group of people were all dressed in black, but the large carriage was obviously very heavy, and it seemed that it was still very difficult to pull it with four horses.
After the group walked to the intersection, Gong Yu lit a candle and looked at the map, guessing that Dai Ruyan's courtyard should be nearby.
But Gong Yu touched the stone wall, but couldn't find any mechanism to open it, thinking that it must be opened from the inside?
Wouldn't it be a waste of time to come here?
No, if Zhen Gongyu has also been here, how did she get in?
Just as Gong Yu was in a trance, she vaguely heard the sound of water dripping in front of her, and she walked forward.
While groping anxiously, the dripping water extinguished the candle, and Gong Yu hurriedly looked for a fire pocket to light the candle, but unexpectedly, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the corner.
Then he stepped closer, only to see that there was a slight light shining through the gap, and there seemed to be a few people walking back and forth inside, and there seemed to be the sound of water splashing.
Gong Yu squinted her eyes slightly and got closer, only to see those people retreating one after another, but she didn't expect to see Dai Ruyan inside.
Dai Ruyan, who was facing her on the other side, was wearing a thin single-clothes, and the water mist made Gong Yu look a little unreal.
Dai Ruyan blushed slightly, untied her belt and stepped into the pool step by step.
Seeing the clothes unbuttoned, Gong Yu subconsciously stretched out her hands to cover her eyes and said condemningly: "The crime is serious!"
But he couldn't bear to peek at Dai Ruyan's graceful figure from between his fingers, thinking of Gong Yu like this, he just felt like a voyeur.
After thinking about it, I thought that the real palace jade might be peeking here every day, so I felt so hateful!
Bubbles of jealousy were constantly bubbling in her heart, and in the midst of Gong Yu's coyness, Dai Ruyan had already soaked her whole body into the pool.
Gong Yu didn't feel guilty and continued to watch, or because of soaking in hot water, Dai Ruyan's cheeks were much rosier than usual, and she patted her cheeks with hot water in her palm.
The hair on the back like ink floated on the water surface, the skin as white as snow was slightly pink, and the reason for the water stains was somewhat reflective, Gong Yu bit her lip while watching, urging in her heart not to look any more.
Otherwise, wouldn't I be no different from that Zhen Gongyu who has a special hobby?
Thinking like this, Gong Yu pinched herself tightly, took a deep breath, and turned her gaze away.
Leaning against the slightly cool stone wall, Gong Yu clings to it and can even hear the gurgling water inside, which makes her heart beat a lot faster.
Obviously it was less than half a month since we saw each other, but after just watching for a while, Gong Yu felt that it was not enough, after all, he had traveled a long way.
It's really greedy and greedy.
I spurned myself so much in my heart until the sound of the water inside gradually stopped, and Dai Ruyan inside also left.
Then Gong Yu fumbled to go elsewhere, wondering in her heart that if the dark room outside could not be opened through this secret passage, wouldn't the people trapped here have no way out?
Randomly turning around the passage again, Gong Yu groped the stone wall with her fingertips, thinking that there should be some kind of switch.
Until the sound of scratching the ground, Gong Yu stopped quickly and pressed the small raised circular icon.
The stone wall in front of him slowly unfolded, but before Gong Yu had time to rejoice, several men in black with knives stood in front of him, obviously this was a pit!
"Sorry, I went to the wrong door." Gong Yuyu turned around and left, but the knife was already handed to him.
Being pressed inside, Gong Yu's face was covered with a black cloth bag, and she didn't know where she was going, only that there was a loud echo here.
After walking around turning left and right for a while, Gong Yu was arranged to sit down by the man in black, and there seemed to be no follow-up.
Gong Yu reached out to grab the black cloth bag, and saw Dai Ruyan opposite him pouring tea with a very natural expression.
Gong Yu, who looked confused, smiled awkwardly and said, "Long time no see, Ah Yan."
Dai Ruyan held the teacup in his hand, and didn't even look at Gong Yu, he just said in a low voice: "How does Xiao Jiu know about the secret way?"
Confession lenient?Or resist strictness?
"I accidentally found a map in a small compartment in the mansion, then accidentally opened the dark room, and then accidentally came here."
"Then Xiao Jiu saw anything on the road?"
What a murderous question.
Gong Yu hurriedly shook her head in response: "No, I didn't see anything on the road."
Dai Ruyan put down the teacup, looked at Gong Yu and said coldly, "Then Xiao Jiu will go back through the secret passage now."
what?
After walking all the way, Gong Yu didn't even drink a sip of water, so she was about to be driven back.
Gong Yu, who looked aggrieved, dared not speak out, because it was very possible that Dai Ruyan found out that she was peeping.
This anger is also justifiable.
Gong Yu stood up slowly holding the robe in both hands, looked at Dai Ruyan who was indifferent, and approached hesitantly: "There is a gap in the wall in Ayan's bath, remember to get someone to fill it up."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with surprise in his eyes and asked, "Did you...see it?"
Oops, isn't this an admission of peeping?
"I... didn't peek on purpose." Gong Yu raised her hands and said sincerely, "I just watched it for a while, but I covered my eyes with my hands, so I didn't see... the important parts."
The more this is said, the more clearly the relationship is unclear.
In the end, Gong Yu gave up explaining herself, and lowered her head, not daring to look at Dai Ruyan's expression.
When it was almost dusk outside, the sunset clouds covered the distant sky, and occasionally birds chirped.
Dai Ruyan's courtyard has always been very quiet, Gong Yu didn't even dare to breathe, seeing that there was no sound all the time, she could only say: "Ayan, don't be angry, I won't take this secret path next time."
"Didn't Xiaojiu come here because she was curious about what I was doing?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan for a while, as expected, Dai Ruyan looked flat, as if Gong Yu was the only one who cared about this matter.
"I'm curious, but what I want more is to take a look at Ayan, not on purpose... to peek at Ayan taking a bath."
"I see."
The short words made Gong Yu somewhat puzzled by Dai Ruyan's thoughts, and she didn't even know what else to say.
Obviously the divorce period is only a few fingers away, Gong Yu held the robe slightly tightly, looking at Dai Ruyan's thin green gauze dress, the color is light and elegant, it may be because of the water, the hair on the side of the cheeks Slightly formed into a few small strands, and fell lightly on the cheeks.
The faint fragrance of flowers lingers in the nostrils, the lake is outside the open window, and the breeze comes slowly mixed with sultry heat, Gong Yu doesn't like the feeling of being so invisible.
But she knew that Dai Ruyan had a heart knot, so Gong Yu had no choice.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed Gong Yu calmed down and said, "Then I will really go back."
However, there was no voice to hold back, everything was spoken, there was no room for taking it back, Gong Yu had no choice but to turn around and leave the courtyard.
Following the man in black walked out of the pavilion, looking at the open window, Dai Ruyan was sitting there alone, with an indifferent expression that made Gong Yu feel very disappointed.
Entering the secret passage, Gong Yu walks extremely slowly, the cautiousness and excitement when she came here before will all become heavy and low.
In the slightly dark tunnel, Gong Yu couldn't see clearly, as if he could vaguely hear the shouting from the teahouse and restaurant outside, it was very lively.
It's just that the bustle seems to make Gong Yu even more lonely.
Gong Yu stopped, leaning her back against the stone wall, and the men in black still followed behind.
For some reason, he imagined that if it wasn't him who broke in, he might have been killed long ago.
"Go back, I'll just walk slowly by myself."
The man in black didn't answer, the sound of horseshoes came from the passage, and a carriage slowly drove up to Gong Yu.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted and Ruyan turned her head and called softly: "Xiao Jiu come up."
Gong Yu was a little shy at first, but when she saw Dai Ruyan, she entered the carriage without any hesitation.
Dai Ruyan was sitting in it, and the glazed lamp hung beside it, making the spacious carriage quite bright.
The carriage rattled, and an echo could even be heard in this passage.
To some extent, it has been a long time since Gong Yu and Dai Ruyan took the same carriage.
Neither of them spoke, Gong Yu panicked, and couldn't help opening the curtain to look outside.
"It's nothing more than some stone walls outside, isn't it nice?" Dai Ruyan broke Gong Yu's predicament with a voice.
Gong Yu had no choice but to sit upright and replied: "I just feel a little bored and flustered."
"Ayan doesn't need to send me off specially, I will be there soon after wandering around for a while."
"If it's walking on foot, it will take at least an hour."
The words stopped abruptly, Gong Yu didn't know how to respond, and Dai Ruyan didn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to speak.
In the past, Gong Yu talked a lot, but now Gong Yu was very troubled, so she had to turn her eyes to the glazed lamp.
The pattern on the top is unique, and the color is also very beautiful. The most important thing is that it can relieve the cold situation between the two.
After waiting for a while without any sound, Gong Yu slightly stretched her legs to relieve the numbness from the rush, but still dare not look at Dai Ruyan.
Even though Gong Yu could clearly feel that Dai Ruyan's gaze was looking at this direction, Gong Yu deliberately didn't look at it.
Because I don't want to see Dai Ruyan's flat, almost indifferent eyes reflecting my smirk anymore, after all, most of the things I have worked hard for Dai Ruyan can do with ease.
Even Gong Yu might get into trouble, but Dai Ruyan won't, once she thinks carefully about what she wants to do, she shouldn't miss it.
Thinking like this, Gong Yu couldn't help but think of what Gu Qing said at that time, he said that Dai Ruyan didn't leave the capital because of himself.
But what would Dai Ruyan want to do?
Rubbing the ring with her fingertips, Gong Yu thought that she had asked Dai Ruyan a long time ago, but Dai Ruyan just said it was interesting.
What kind of things are interesting in Dai Ruyan's eyes, even Dai Ruyan took such a big risk to go to Jinzhou to obtain the pollen of the flower of eternal life, but what is she going to do?
Even though she has known Dai Ruyan for several years, Gong Yu feels that she knows very little about Dai Ruyan, apart from what she knows from Dai Ruyan, she has almost never been verified from others.
When things got to this point, Gong Yu couldn't help thinking that Dai Ruyan might want to sit on the throne for herself.
So before that, I saw a large object in the secret passage, maybe it was a cannon.
Transporting such a large mechanical weapon into the capital through this secret passage is the best way to avoid censorship.
Gong Yu leaned back against the carriage and suddenly thought of Dai Ruyan's shimmering eyes when she mentioned this court strategy, and couldn't help guessing that Dai Ruyan didn't leave the capital because she liked the court's intrigue very much.
Dai Ruyan is like a beast hiding in the capital. She is familiar with the struggles between the various factions, and perhaps takes pleasure in it.
Therefore, the second princess, Gong Ling, and the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Zhao Anyue, are part of the power of the imperial court, so they more or less understand Dai Ruyan's methods.
Even Qin Hua had obviously investigated Dai Ruyan before, and knew that Dai Ruyan's handling of political opponents was terrifying.
Thinking about it this way, when Qin Hua mentioned the cause of death of those missing guards, his expression seemed to show a rare fear.
It's just that such a guess is a bit too unusual, Gong Yu breathed gently, looked sideways at Dai Ruyan, and made eye contact with Dai Ruyan.
Dai Ruyan's eyes were clear and bright, as if expecting Gong Yu to look over, he asked, "What is Xiao Jiu thinking about so preoccupied?"
"It's nothing." Gong Yu quickly looked away and replied, "I'm just thinking about what Ayan wants to do?"
"Has Xiaojiu thought of it?"
"I can't figure it out." Gong Yu held his sleeves tightly and smiled and asked, "If I fail this time and fail to become the emperor, will Ah Yan... be disappointed?"
Dai Ruyan moved closer, put his palm lightly on the back of Gong Yu's hand, looked straight at Gong Yu and replied, "Xiao Jiu will definitely succeed."
In these words, Gong Yu clearly saw the undisguised inevitability in Dai Ruyan's eyes.
"Does Ayan really want to be a queen?"
"I think."
Gong Yu vaguely remembered asking Dai Ruyan about such a conversation.
The same question, the same answer, but Gong Yu just realized that there is a different meaning in it.
Perhaps the second princess Gong Ling is the one who understands Dai Ruyan best, because she understands Dai Ruyan's desire for power and strategy, and even appreciates it very much.
In a way, they are actually very similar.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan hesitantly and asked, "Does Ayan want to be emperor?"
Dai Ruyan's expression changed slightly, he lightly clasped Gong Yu's hand with his fingertips and said, "Who is Xiao Jiu listening to sow discord?"
"Ayan, do you want to or don't you want to?"
"Emperor and empress are already the most honorable status in the palace, so there is no difference between the two." Dai Ruyan paused and said, "And Xiao Jiu is very suitable to be emperor."
Is it suitable?
Regarding Dai Ruyan's words, Gong Yu no longer knew how to tell the truth from the fake.
Gong Yu responded: "I'm just curious, don't think too much about it, Ayan."
Dai Ruyan probed Gong Yu's eyes, but did not let go, the carriage shook slightly.
Because her back was facing the candlelight, Dai Ruyan's eyes seemed a bit unreal, Gong Yu blinked and held Dai Ruyan's hand, lightened the back of her hand and said in a low voice:
"Ayan, we are getting married soon."
Dai Ruyan, who was slightly taken aback, didn't respond, Gong Yu stretched out her arms and gently hugged Dai Ruyan, her eyes fell on the pearl earrings.
There is also a pair of real palace jade earrings in the dark room.
"Ayan's earrings are so pretty." Gong Yu flicked her fingertips.
Dai Ruyan leaned in her arms, listened to Gong Yu's heartbeat and answered, "Does Xiao Jiu like it?"
Gong Yu paused and asked, "Ah Yan has the same thing?"
"No, if Xiao Jiu really likes it, I will give this pair of earrings to Xiao Jiu."
"No, it looks good when Ayan wears it."
Maybe the real palace jade is just an imitation earring, after all, it would be risky if the things of the daughter's house are revealed.
Dai Ruyan lightly pressed the soft flesh in Gong Yu's palm and said, "I drew the map that Xiao Jiu found."
"Then why am I here?"
"Presumably the real palace jade was stolen."
Gong Yu lowered her head to look at Dai Ruyan, and touched that tender cheek with her fingertips, not even daring to use too much force.
"Xiao Jiu..." Dai Ruyan called out in a low voice.
"what happened?"
"Don't ask me what you said just now again."
"Why?" Gong Yu asked with her fingertips resting on Dai Ruyan's brow.
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu and raised his hand to hold Gong Yu's warm fingertips and said in a low voice:
"I'm not used to Xiaojiu being like another person."
Gong Yu blinked her eyes lightly and asked, "Why would Ah Yan think so?"
"Because Xiao Jiu's eyes are so calm that I can't see through them."
"But I often can't see through Ayan."
"Really?" Dai Ruyan imitated Gong Yu's movements and kissed the back of Gong Yu's hand. The provocative gesture seemed to touch Gong Yu's heartstrings, and she stared at Gong Yu with tender eyes and said in a low voice: "Wait When we get married, Xiao Jiu has a long time to see through me slowly."
"But what if I never see through?"
"If you can't see it through, you can't see it through. Anyway, you have to live like this for the rest of your life."
Dai Ruyan leaned closer, gently kneaded Gong Yu's earlobe with his fingertips, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Could it be that Xiao Jiu can still sleep with me?"
Or because Dai Ruyan's hands were warmer than usual because of the fresh bath, even the faint floral fragrance was very strong.
Gong Yu couldn't help being tempted to sniff Dai Ruyan closer, and Dai Ruyan raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Does it smell good?"
"Well, it's very different from what Ayan usually uses, and the taste is very strong."
"Yes." Dai Ruyan leaned on Gong Yu as if on purpose and replied, "I have to soak it three times a day, so the fragrance is naturally stronger."
Taking a hot bath in summer, and the point is that there is no fan here, is really torture.
"Why do you have to soak so many times?" Gong Yu asked puzzled.
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, pressed the corner of Gong Yu's mouth lightly with her fingertips and complained: "When Gong Guo women get married, they have to bathe in fragrance for several months. Doesn't Xiao Jiu even know this?"
It is rare to see such a mischievous expression on Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu's mind flickered, and she quickly looked away.
He was obviously still discussing serious matters, why was he suddenly seduced by Dai Ruyan's beauty?
What a waste of time!
Gong Yu poked Dai Ruyan's fingertips on his face, but his face was still blushing, and the nephrite jade was warm and fragrant in his arms, who could not be in a state of mind?
"Ayan, you are too close."
"What?" Dai Ruyan sat upright and looked at Gong Yu, "Don't you like this fragrance?"
"No... no."
Dai Ruyan raised her plain white hands and stroked Gong Yu's face and asked seriously: "Sure enough, Xiao Jiu is still angry because I was too indifferent just now?"
Gong Yu pursed her lips tightly, trying to keep her eyes away from the tender skin on Dai Ruyan's slightly loose collar.
"At that time, I was just thinking about how Xiao Jiu would know about the secret passage, so I couldn't help but look a little more serious." Dai Ruyan paused, frowned slightly and said: "Plus Xiao Jiu obviously doesn't want to tell me the truth, A little annoyed."
"Where did I not tell the truth?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan and asked
Before he finished speaking, the hand holding his cheek suddenly pinched Gong Yu's face, and Dai Ruyan said very seriously: "Xiao Jiu has been sending people to guard according to the black spots on the map these days, aren't you curious? ?”
"Of course I'm curious."
"Then why Xiao Jiu didn't want to ask me?"
Because Gong Yu didn't want Dai Ruyan to know that he was investigating her secretly.
Dai Ruyan let go of his hand as if sighing, and stroked Gong Yu's robe with his fingertips, saying: "Xiao Jiu's curiosity is understandable, but doubts are not."
The tone became more and more low, Dai Ruyan pointed at the folds of the robe and said softly: "No matter what I do, it is for Xiaojiu's benefit, Xiaojiu shouldn't doubt me."
"Even if everyone doubts me, Xiao Jiu can't doubt me."
Gong Yu listened in a daze, only to see Dai Ruyan's eyes blink slightly, those dark eyes looked at Gong Yu and asked, "Xiao Jiu, do you understand?"
"I... don't want Ayan to do those hurtful things."
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's wrist lightly with her fingertips, leaned closer and asked puzzledly, "Why?"
"If you really want to hurt people, I can do it too."
Gong Yu didn't want Dai Ruyan to get used to this kind of killing and scrambling.
"Really?"
"of course."
"But even if Xiao Jiu can do it, I don't want Xiao Jiu to do it."
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in confusion and asked, "Why?"
Dai Ruyan said softly with a smile in his eyes, "Because Xiao Jiu is not suitable for doing these things."
"Besides, why do I need to do things that hurt people? Xiao Jiu really thinks too much."
The more Gong Yu saw this expression, the more she could see the attitude behind Dai Ruyan's words.
Because Dai Ruyan is very good at disguising, since she said these comforting words with a smile, it does not mean that she agrees, on the contrary, Dai Ruyan is so strong that people cannot refuse certain things.
Especially when contemporary Ruyan stubbornly decided that she didn't want Gong Yu to do certain things, Gong Yu couldn't refute it.
When it came to the end, it was nothing more than being dismissed lightly by Dai Ruyan.
Gong Yu couldn't help feeling a little anxious, looking sideways at Dai Ruyan, pursing her lips but didn't know what to say.
The carriage suddenly became quiet again, as keen as Dai Ruyan, she knew that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The wheels were spinning, Dai Ruyan didn't say anything, just leaned lightly in Gong Yu's arms, playing with Gong Yu's hand with his palm.
Until he suddenly held a warm object in his hand, Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand tightly and said softly: "Actually, this jade pendant is two pieces of jade pendant divided into two."
"As long as Xiao Jiu finds out the way, he can easily get another jade pendant."
Gong Yu rubbed the jade pendant with her fingertips and said in a low voice: "I couldn't untie it at that time, now that Ayan told me so bluntly, it would be meaningless to untie it again."
Before the words finished, Dai Ruyan distanced himself slightly, looked at Gong Yu puzzled and asked, "Don't you want Xiao Jiu?"
"No."
"Then Xiaojiu is angry with me?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with uneasy eyes, held Gong Yu's cheeks in both hands, pressed his forehead against the side of Gong Yu's face, and said in a low voice: "At that time, I just thought about it. To tease Xiao Jiu once, it's not because I don't want to give the jade pendant to Xiao Jiu."
"Besides, I only want to give this jade pendant to Xiao Jiu, and I never want to give it to anyone else."
Gong Yu didn't understand why Dai Ruyan was suddenly uneasy, and quickly said comfortingly, "I'm not angry."
"Then why did Xiaojiu say it's boring?"
"I just feel that Ayan is coaxing a child with a jade pendant, which is not good at all."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not a child, and I have my own ideas and arrangements, don't Ayan think I should try it?"
Dai Ruyan gently rubbed Gong Yu's cheek with his palm, and the uneasiness in his eyes seemed to retreat, and he replied softly: "Of course I support what Xiao Jiu wants to do."
"Furthermore, even if Xiao Jiu is not a child, but I am a little older, and I always have to take care of Xiao Jiu."
No, this cannot be a reason for Dai Ruyan's strong desire to control at all.
Because her cheeks were held by Dai Ruyan's hands and she couldn't move, Gong Yu could only respond stiffly like a patient with cervical spondylosis: "Ayan, have you never thought that I am not a real Gong Yu in the first place? He's almost forty years old."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in surprise and asked, "Forty?"
"Yeah, so I should be the older one." Forgive Gong Yu for multiplying her age twice.
Dai Ruyan let go of the hand holding Gong Yu's cheek, looked at Gong Yu with a more serious expression.
Gong Yu inexplicably felt a sense of crisis popping up.
"Then Xiao Jiu actually already has someone he likes, doesn't he?"
what?
Why did things go a little differently?
Dai Ruyan's gaze gradually turned cold, Gong Yu hurriedly explained: "Ayan, don't think too much."
"I've always wondered why Xiao Jiu always gets close to those familiar and strange people. In fact, I'm not the only person Xiao Jiu likes, right?"
Gong Yu hugged Dai Ruyan lightly and said: "It's nothing, I was just joking just now."
But there was no response from Dai Ruyan, Gong Yuman explained with concern: "I really never liked anyone other than Ayan, and this is the first time I gave a girl a ring."
"Ayan, you trust me, okay?"
Dai Ruyan held the ring between Gong Yu's fingers tightly with her fingertips, looked at Gong Yu suspiciously in her eyes and said in a low voice:
"Really?"
"Really!" Gong Yu nodded in response.
"Xiao Jiu gave this ring to me alone, right?"
"Well, only for Ayan."
Before she finished speaking, Dai Ruyan bit Gong Yu's cheek hard, and Gong Yu fell backward in pain, with a muffled knock on her head.
Dai Ruyan did not let go, and said seriously as Gong Yu fell down: "If Xiao Jiu makes such a joke again, I will bite him hard."
Isn't this considered cruel?
Gong Yu was in so much pain that she burst into tears, thinking how Dai Ruyan became more and more cruel even before she got married.
A shadow fell in front of his eyes, Dai Ruyan leaned over to look at Gong Yu, gently rubbed Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and said in a low voice: "I don't allow Xiao Jiu to like other people besides me. Just remember."
Gong Yu only felt that Dai Ruyan's hand on her cheek was about to pinch her neck in the next second, and looked at Dai Ruyan with a little shortness of breath, and said, "Ayan, what's wrong with you?"
"I can allow Xiao Jiu to do anything, but this is not allowed."
Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's lips lightly with her fingertips and said repeatedly, "Xiao Jiu, you can't like others."
"I don't like others, I only like Ayan."
"You only like me?"
"Well, I only like Ayan."
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, smiled like a child, lowered her head and rubbed Gong Yu's cheek, her warm breath mixed with a soft kiss fell on her ear, slightly scalding.
Gong Yu wanted to raise her hand, but found that her arm had already been suppressed by Dai Ruyan.
"Ayan?"
"I'm here." Dai Ruyan leaned aside
, rubbing the ring on Gongyu's fingertips with her fingertips and whispering: "Xiao Jiu is not allowed to be so naughty, you must be obedient."
Saying that, Dai Ruyan poked his head closer, looking at Gong Yu's eyes as if they had regained their brilliance, and said: "As long as Xiao Jiu is obedient, I can give Xiao Jiu whatever she wants."
Such warm words, if Gong Yu hadn't been suppressed, maybe she would happily hug Dai Ruyan and kiss her madly.
But Gong Yu didn't understand why she couldn't use her strength. Ruyan Mingming looked weak, and her wrists were also very slender. How could she restrain herself so easily with such strength?
Could Dai Ruyan know martial arts?
It doesn't look like it, and if Dai Ruyan knows martial arts, his arms don't have any muscles, and his palms don't have any calluses, so he really doesn't look like a Lianjiazi.
"What is Xiao Jiu thinking?" Maybe Gong Yu would be acting very well, Dai Ruyan let go of Gong Yu's hand, and raised her hand to straighten Gong Yu's messy robe.
Gong Yu raised her hand to realize it, it didn't seem that Dai Ruyan had great strength, it seemed that her own strength had weakened.
Then I tried to clench my fists tightly, confirming that my strength seemed to have weakened a lot, but I didn't notice it at all.
It felt more like being poisoned.
"Ayan?"
"I'm here." Dai Ruyan leaned on the carriage and gently hugged Gong Yu and replied.
Gong Yu looked at her hands and said, "It seems that I can't exert my strength."
But Dai Ruyan didn't care, his fingertips were fastening the other jade pendant for Gong Yu.
"Ayan, you... the fragrance on your body isn't poisonous, right?" Gong Yu sniffed it close, although she didn't feel any discomfort, but when she really wanted to use force, she didn't have any strength at all.
"Xiao Jiu comes closer, isn't he afraid of being poisoned and fainted?"
When Gong Yu was told this, she wanted to distance herself, but Dai Ruyan couldn't distance herself when she was imprisoned.
Dai Ruyan fastened the jade pendant tightly, looked down at Gong Yu in his arms slightly, and said, "Want to escape?"
The slender and slender fingers tapped Gongyu's nose, and Dai Ruyan smiled brightly: "Xiao Jiu, you can't escape."
"Ayan, what does this mean?"
"Stupid, don't I understand enough?"
Gong Yu somehow felt that if Dai Ruyan was a vampire, she would probably have to be bitten.
"Are you scared?" Dai Ruyan gently rubbed the acupuncture point beside Gong Yu's forehead and said softly, "Coward, this is just
"The wedding candies for the wedding banquet are all ready, Mr. Qin, would you like to take one back home to taste?"
"This is Your Highness?" Qin Hua asked in confusion.
"Instead of being bored at home all day and letting the people outside be suspicious, it's better to completely disrupt this muddy water."
So Gong Yu led a group of people to beat gongs and drums and distributed copper coins and red envelopes in the streets of the capital, along with wedding candies and pastries.
Wherever he went, the people surrounded him, and there were many children scrambling to beg for candies.
And Gong Yu asked people to spread the news for ten days, and every day in the capital, happy money and sweets would be distributed in the capital.
In less than two days, the rumors all over the city changed again, and the teahouse was full of voices, happily discussing how much money each of them had received.
"This Ninth Highness is probably really stupid, the money is scattered like rain from the sky."
"Isn't that right? It's not uncommon for us to see princes and lords get married, but the only one who throws money like water is this silly Highness. We walked around yesterday and got nearly a hundred copper coins."
"What are you guys doing? I have received a full ingot of silver."
"I heard that His Highness the Ninth Prince will continue to give out wedding money until the day of marriage, why don't our teahouses and restaurants close down, and all the big guys go to get the money!"
"That's right, this crazy and stupid Ninth Highness might as well get married a few more times, and we ordinary people won't have to worry about food and clothing this year."
There was a burst of laughter in the tea shed, only the waiter who was busy with work was left running upstairs and downstairs with a teapot.
After another two days like this, Gong Yu was completely tanned, so she only asked the guards to throw wedding candy and money.
The old housekeeper came forward with the ginseng soup, looked at Gong Yu lying on the bamboo couch with a homemade yogurt mask on his face, and asked in a low voice with complicated eyes: "Your Highness, don't you really burn your head like this?"
amount……
"No." Gong Yu couldn't speak, so she could only respond briefly: "I think I can't finish the yogurt, so don't waste it."
"Then His Highness shouldn't be putting on his daughter's makeup on his face. Most of the men in Gong Guo look down on these things. If this is spread, His Highness may add another joke to the people."
"It's okay, just let them talk."
When the old housekeeper left, Gong Yu was still lying flat on the bamboo couch, reaching out her hand to take out the creed from Qin Hua from her sleeve pocket.
【Thirty people entered the city every half an hour yesterday, about three to four hundred people entered Dongluo Tower and ten other places, and this group of people never came out again. 】
Dongluo Tower?
Gong Yu got up, stepped on the wooden board barefoot, and turned to unfold the map.
Most of these black spots are in densely populated areas, or inns, or casinos, or brothels, but how could people disappear for no reason?
Gong Yu, who was thinking secretly, sipped the ginseng soup, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the map that seemed to exist along with the streets.
Fingertips follow the connection little by little, from the intersection of the East Alley to the junction of the West Alley at the end, and so on, drawing layer by layer.
It seems that the only difference is that the interior of the palace is not marked with black spots, otherwise the connections along the streets around it seem to be in the shape of spider webs.
The black spots that seemed to be scattered before will become more and more obvious now. This spider web exists like a transportation channel.
But the streets in the capital city are already divided very carefully. Although they are occasionally crowded, they are still very convenient.
What is the special use of these sites that are as familiar as spider webs?
After Gong Yu finished drinking the ginseng soup, her eyes stopped at the Dongluo Tower, and suddenly found that this point was connected to six lines at the same time, and she couldn't help thinking of Qin Hua's letter saying that there were ten other places.
In order to look more comprehensive, Gong Yu deliberately stood a little farther away, and took a note of the names of the points where the lines gathered, and there were exactly ten places.
That is to say, someone also knows the existence of this map, and even that person knows better than Zhen Gongyu what the purpose of this black spot is.
What kind of person would make Zhen Gongyu care so much?
At present, Dai Ruyan is most likely to be the one, but what is Dai Ruyan planning?
Gong Yu put the bowl aside, and deliberately looked for a spider thread connecting the Ruyan mansion of the same generation as the mansion above.
Seeing that there was indeed one on the map, Gong Yu hurriedly pulled the map, wearing a sword, and took a Zodiac candle along the way to rush to the cubicle.
The guard was looking at the cubicle, Gong Yu went in alone, and then opened the mechanism of the darkroom.
Entering the dark room again, Gong Yu held the candle and carefully watched the direction of the flame shaking.
Last time, I just ignored where is the wind coming from in this dark room?
Seeing the light wind shaking the candlelight behind the bookcase, Gong Yu fumbled but couldn't push it away, guessing there must be a mechanism.
Then I searched for the mechanism in front of the most obvious desk. When I turned the pen holder, I found that the pen holder was fixed. I turned right and saw that the bookcase moved away.
Gong Yu held the long sword and looked nervously at the dark passage, lit the candle and walked into the passage alone.
Follow the directions on the map to turn the passage. The passage is very spacious, and even the air is very circulated. When you reach a few corners, you can even hear the rattling of horseshoes on the ground.
Occasionally, there will be bright lights shining from above, and Gong Yu suddenly realizes that this may be the sewer of the capital.
It's just that the scale here is not a sewer. Perhaps it was deliberately concealed when it was built, so it is not impossible to mix these passages into the sewer project.
But who has such a large financial and material resources?
Royal Family or Dai Family?
In any case, Zhen Gongyu must have gone to Dai Ruyan through these passages, so he knew that Dai Ruyan also had Buddha portraits.
After walking for a long time, Gong Yu couldn't help feeling a little tired. After all, he had walked half of the capital on foot, so it would take a long time to ride a horse on weekdays.
Wiping the sweat from his cheeks with his robe, he suddenly heard the sound of horses coming from a fork.
Gong Yu blew out the candles in time and hid in the dark, only to see that the group of people were all dressed in black, but the large carriage was obviously very heavy, and it seemed that it was still very difficult to pull it with four horses.
After the group walked to the intersection, Gong Yu lit a candle and looked at the map, guessing that Dai Ruyan's courtyard should be nearby.
But Gong Yu touched the stone wall, but couldn't find any mechanism to open it, thinking that it must be opened from the inside?
Wouldn't it be a waste of time to come here?
No, if Zhen Gongyu has also been here, how did she get in?
Just as Gong Yu was in a trance, she vaguely heard the sound of water dripping in front of her, and she walked forward.
While groping anxiously, the dripping water extinguished the candle, and Gong Yu hurriedly looked for a fire pocket to light the candle, but unexpectedly, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the corner.
Then he stepped closer, only to see that there was a slight light shining through the gap, and there seemed to be a few people walking back and forth inside, and there seemed to be the sound of water splashing.
Gong Yu squinted her eyes slightly and got closer, only to see those people retreating one after another, but she didn't expect to see Dai Ruyan inside.
Dai Ruyan, who was facing her on the other side, was wearing a thin single-clothes, and the water mist made Gong Yu look a little unreal.
Dai Ruyan blushed slightly, untied her belt and stepped into the pool step by step.
Seeing the clothes unbuttoned, Gong Yu subconsciously stretched out her hands to cover her eyes and said condemningly: "The crime is serious!"
But he couldn't bear to peek at Dai Ruyan's graceful figure from between his fingers, thinking of Gong Yu like this, he just felt like a voyeur.
After thinking about it, I thought that the real palace jade might be peeking here every day, so I felt so hateful!
Bubbles of jealousy were constantly bubbling in her heart, and in the midst of Gong Yu's coyness, Dai Ruyan had already soaked her whole body into the pool.
Gong Yu didn't feel guilty and continued to watch, or because of soaking in hot water, Dai Ruyan's cheeks were much rosier than usual, and she patted her cheeks with hot water in her palm.
The hair on the back like ink floated on the water surface, the skin as white as snow was slightly pink, and the reason for the water stains was somewhat reflective, Gong Yu bit her lip while watching, urging in her heart not to look any more.
Otherwise, wouldn't I be no different from that Zhen Gongyu who has a special hobby?
Thinking like this, Gong Yu pinched herself tightly, took a deep breath, and turned her gaze away.
Leaning against the slightly cool stone wall, Gong Yu clings to it and can even hear the gurgling water inside, which makes her heart beat a lot faster.
Obviously it was less than half a month since we saw each other, but after just watching for a while, Gong Yu felt that it was not enough, after all, he had traveled a long way.
It's really greedy and greedy.
I spurned myself so much in my heart until the sound of the water inside gradually stopped, and Dai Ruyan inside also left.
Then Gong Yu fumbled to go elsewhere, wondering in her heart that if the dark room outside could not be opened through this secret passage, wouldn't the people trapped here have no way out?
Randomly turning around the passage again, Gong Yu groped the stone wall with her fingertips, thinking that there should be some kind of switch.
Until the sound of scratching the ground, Gong Yu stopped quickly and pressed the small raised circular icon.
The stone wall in front of him slowly unfolded, but before Gong Yu had time to rejoice, several men in black with knives stood in front of him, obviously this was a pit!
"Sorry, I went to the wrong door." Gong Yuyu turned around and left, but the knife was already handed to him.
Being pressed inside, Gong Yu's face was covered with a black cloth bag, and she didn't know where she was going, only that there was a loud echo here.
After walking around turning left and right for a while, Gong Yu was arranged to sit down by the man in black, and there seemed to be no follow-up.
Gong Yu reached out to grab the black cloth bag, and saw Dai Ruyan opposite him pouring tea with a very natural expression.
Gong Yu, who looked confused, smiled awkwardly and said, "Long time no see, Ah Yan."
Dai Ruyan held the teacup in his hand, and didn't even look at Gong Yu, he just said in a low voice: "How does Xiao Jiu know about the secret way?"
Confession lenient?Or resist strictness?
"I accidentally found a map in a small compartment in the mansion, then accidentally opened the dark room, and then accidentally came here."
"Then Xiao Jiu saw anything on the road?"
What a murderous question.
Gong Yu hurriedly shook her head in response: "No, I didn't see anything on the road."
Dai Ruyan put down the teacup, looked at Gong Yu and said coldly, "Then Xiao Jiu will go back through the secret passage now."
what?
After walking all the way, Gong Yu didn't even drink a sip of water, so she was about to be driven back.
Gong Yu, who looked aggrieved, dared not speak out, because it was very possible that Dai Ruyan found out that she was peeping.
This anger is also justifiable.
Gong Yu stood up slowly holding the robe in both hands, looked at Dai Ruyan who was indifferent, and approached hesitantly: "There is a gap in the wall in Ayan's bath, remember to get someone to fill it up."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with surprise in his eyes and asked, "Did you...see it?"
Oops, isn't this an admission of peeping?
"I... didn't peek on purpose." Gong Yu raised her hands and said sincerely, "I just watched it for a while, but I covered my eyes with my hands, so I didn't see... the important parts."
The more this is said, the more clearly the relationship is unclear.
In the end, Gong Yu gave up explaining herself, and lowered her head, not daring to look at Dai Ruyan's expression.
When it was almost dusk outside, the sunset clouds covered the distant sky, and occasionally birds chirped.
Dai Ruyan's courtyard has always been very quiet, Gong Yu didn't even dare to breathe, seeing that there was no sound all the time, she could only say: "Ayan, don't be angry, I won't take this secret path next time."
"Didn't Xiaojiu come here because she was curious about what I was doing?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan for a while, as expected, Dai Ruyan looked flat, as if Gong Yu was the only one who cared about this matter.
"I'm curious, but what I want more is to take a look at Ayan, not on purpose... to peek at Ayan taking a bath."
"I see."
The short words made Gong Yu somewhat puzzled by Dai Ruyan's thoughts, and she didn't even know what else to say.
Obviously the divorce period is only a few fingers away, Gong Yu held the robe slightly tightly, looking at Dai Ruyan's thin green gauze dress, the color is light and elegant, it may be because of the water, the hair on the side of the cheeks Slightly formed into a few small strands, and fell lightly on the cheeks.
The faint fragrance of flowers lingers in the nostrils, the lake is outside the open window, and the breeze comes slowly mixed with sultry heat, Gong Yu doesn't like the feeling of being so invisible.
But she knew that Dai Ruyan had a heart knot, so Gong Yu had no choice.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed Gong Yu calmed down and said, "Then I will really go back."
However, there was no voice to hold back, everything was spoken, there was no room for taking it back, Gong Yu had no choice but to turn around and leave the courtyard.
Following the man in black walked out of the pavilion, looking at the open window, Dai Ruyan was sitting there alone, with an indifferent expression that made Gong Yu feel very disappointed.
Entering the secret passage, Gong Yu walks extremely slowly, the cautiousness and excitement when she came here before will all become heavy and low.
In the slightly dark tunnel, Gong Yu couldn't see clearly, as if he could vaguely hear the shouting from the teahouse and restaurant outside, it was very lively.
It's just that the bustle seems to make Gong Yu even more lonely.
Gong Yu stopped, leaning her back against the stone wall, and the men in black still followed behind.
For some reason, he imagined that if it wasn't him who broke in, he might have been killed long ago.
"Go back, I'll just walk slowly by myself."
The man in black didn't answer, the sound of horseshoes came from the passage, and a carriage slowly drove up to Gong Yu.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted and Ruyan turned her head and called softly: "Xiao Jiu come up."
Gong Yu was a little shy at first, but when she saw Dai Ruyan, she entered the carriage without any hesitation.
Dai Ruyan was sitting in it, and the glazed lamp hung beside it, making the spacious carriage quite bright.
The carriage rattled, and an echo could even be heard in this passage.
To some extent, it has been a long time since Gong Yu and Dai Ruyan took the same carriage.
Neither of them spoke, Gong Yu panicked, and couldn't help opening the curtain to look outside.
"It's nothing more than some stone walls outside, isn't it nice?" Dai Ruyan broke Gong Yu's predicament with a voice.
Gong Yu had no choice but to sit upright and replied: "I just feel a little bored and flustered."
"Ayan doesn't need to send me off specially, I will be there soon after wandering around for a while."
"If it's walking on foot, it will take at least an hour."
The words stopped abruptly, Gong Yu didn't know how to respond, and Dai Ruyan didn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to speak.
In the past, Gong Yu talked a lot, but now Gong Yu was very troubled, so she had to turn her eyes to the glazed lamp.
The pattern on the top is unique, and the color is also very beautiful. The most important thing is that it can relieve the cold situation between the two.
After waiting for a while without any sound, Gong Yu slightly stretched her legs to relieve the numbness from the rush, but still dare not look at Dai Ruyan.
Even though Gong Yu could clearly feel that Dai Ruyan's gaze was looking at this direction, Gong Yu deliberately didn't look at it.
Because I don't want to see Dai Ruyan's flat, almost indifferent eyes reflecting my smirk anymore, after all, most of the things I have worked hard for Dai Ruyan can do with ease.
Even Gong Yu might get into trouble, but Dai Ruyan won't, once she thinks carefully about what she wants to do, she shouldn't miss it.
Thinking like this, Gong Yu couldn't help but think of what Gu Qing said at that time, he said that Dai Ruyan didn't leave the capital because of himself.
But what would Dai Ruyan want to do?
Rubbing the ring with her fingertips, Gong Yu thought that she had asked Dai Ruyan a long time ago, but Dai Ruyan just said it was interesting.
What kind of things are interesting in Dai Ruyan's eyes, even Dai Ruyan took such a big risk to go to Jinzhou to obtain the pollen of the flower of eternal life, but what is she going to do?
Even though she has known Dai Ruyan for several years, Gong Yu feels that she knows very little about Dai Ruyan, apart from what she knows from Dai Ruyan, she has almost never been verified from others.
When things got to this point, Gong Yu couldn't help thinking that Dai Ruyan might want to sit on the throne for herself.
So before that, I saw a large object in the secret passage, maybe it was a cannon.
Transporting such a large mechanical weapon into the capital through this secret passage is the best way to avoid censorship.
Gong Yu leaned back against the carriage and suddenly thought of Dai Ruyan's shimmering eyes when she mentioned this court strategy, and couldn't help guessing that Dai Ruyan didn't leave the capital because she liked the court's intrigue very much.
Dai Ruyan is like a beast hiding in the capital. She is familiar with the struggles between the various factions, and perhaps takes pleasure in it.
Therefore, the second princess, Gong Ling, and the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Zhao Anyue, are part of the power of the imperial court, so they more or less understand Dai Ruyan's methods.
Even Qin Hua had obviously investigated Dai Ruyan before, and knew that Dai Ruyan's handling of political opponents was terrifying.
Thinking about it this way, when Qin Hua mentioned the cause of death of those missing guards, his expression seemed to show a rare fear.
It's just that such a guess is a bit too unusual, Gong Yu breathed gently, looked sideways at Dai Ruyan, and made eye contact with Dai Ruyan.
Dai Ruyan's eyes were clear and bright, as if expecting Gong Yu to look over, he asked, "What is Xiao Jiu thinking about so preoccupied?"
"It's nothing." Gong Yu quickly looked away and replied, "I'm just thinking about what Ayan wants to do?"
"Has Xiaojiu thought of it?"
"I can't figure it out." Gong Yu held his sleeves tightly and smiled and asked, "If I fail this time and fail to become the emperor, will Ah Yan... be disappointed?"
Dai Ruyan moved closer, put his palm lightly on the back of Gong Yu's hand, looked straight at Gong Yu and replied, "Xiao Jiu will definitely succeed."
In these words, Gong Yu clearly saw the undisguised inevitability in Dai Ruyan's eyes.
"Does Ayan really want to be a queen?"
"I think."
Gong Yu vaguely remembered asking Dai Ruyan about such a conversation.
The same question, the same answer, but Gong Yu just realized that there is a different meaning in it.
Perhaps the second princess Gong Ling is the one who understands Dai Ruyan best, because she understands Dai Ruyan's desire for power and strategy, and even appreciates it very much.
In a way, they are actually very similar.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan hesitantly and asked, "Does Ayan want to be emperor?"
Dai Ruyan's expression changed slightly, he lightly clasped Gong Yu's hand with his fingertips and said, "Who is Xiao Jiu listening to sow discord?"
"Ayan, do you want to or don't you want to?"
"Emperor and empress are already the most honorable status in the palace, so there is no difference between the two." Dai Ruyan paused and said, "And Xiao Jiu is very suitable to be emperor."
Is it suitable?
Regarding Dai Ruyan's words, Gong Yu no longer knew how to tell the truth from the fake.
Gong Yu responded: "I'm just curious, don't think too much about it, Ayan."
Dai Ruyan probed Gong Yu's eyes, but did not let go, the carriage shook slightly.
Because her back was facing the candlelight, Dai Ruyan's eyes seemed a bit unreal, Gong Yu blinked and held Dai Ruyan's hand, lightened the back of her hand and said in a low voice:
"Ayan, we are getting married soon."
Dai Ruyan, who was slightly taken aback, didn't respond, Gong Yu stretched out her arms and gently hugged Dai Ruyan, her eyes fell on the pearl earrings.
There is also a pair of real palace jade earrings in the dark room.
"Ayan's earrings are so pretty." Gong Yu flicked her fingertips.
Dai Ruyan leaned in her arms, listened to Gong Yu's heartbeat and answered, "Does Xiao Jiu like it?"
Gong Yu paused and asked, "Ah Yan has the same thing?"
"No, if Xiao Jiu really likes it, I will give this pair of earrings to Xiao Jiu."
"No, it looks good when Ayan wears it."
Maybe the real palace jade is just an imitation earring, after all, it would be risky if the things of the daughter's house are revealed.
Dai Ruyan lightly pressed the soft flesh in Gong Yu's palm and said, "I drew the map that Xiao Jiu found."
"Then why am I here?"
"Presumably the real palace jade was stolen."
Gong Yu lowered her head to look at Dai Ruyan, and touched that tender cheek with her fingertips, not even daring to use too much force.
"Xiao Jiu..." Dai Ruyan called out in a low voice.
"what happened?"
"Don't ask me what you said just now again."
"Why?" Gong Yu asked with her fingertips resting on Dai Ruyan's brow.
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu and raised his hand to hold Gong Yu's warm fingertips and said in a low voice:
"I'm not used to Xiaojiu being like another person."
Gong Yu blinked her eyes lightly and asked, "Why would Ah Yan think so?"
"Because Xiao Jiu's eyes are so calm that I can't see through them."
"But I often can't see through Ayan."
"Really?" Dai Ruyan imitated Gong Yu's movements and kissed the back of Gong Yu's hand. The provocative gesture seemed to touch Gong Yu's heartstrings, and she stared at Gong Yu with tender eyes and said in a low voice: "Wait When we get married, Xiao Jiu has a long time to see through me slowly."
"But what if I never see through?"
"If you can't see it through, you can't see it through. Anyway, you have to live like this for the rest of your life."
Dai Ruyan leaned closer, gently kneaded Gong Yu's earlobe with his fingertips, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Could it be that Xiao Jiu can still sleep with me?"
Or because Dai Ruyan's hands were warmer than usual because of the fresh bath, even the faint floral fragrance was very strong.
Gong Yu couldn't help being tempted to sniff Dai Ruyan closer, and Dai Ruyan raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Does it smell good?"
"Well, it's very different from what Ayan usually uses, and the taste is very strong."
"Yes." Dai Ruyan leaned on Gong Yu as if on purpose and replied, "I have to soak it three times a day, so the fragrance is naturally stronger."
Taking a hot bath in summer, and the point is that there is no fan here, is really torture.
"Why do you have to soak so many times?" Gong Yu asked puzzled.
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, pressed the corner of Gong Yu's mouth lightly with her fingertips and complained: "When Gong Guo women get married, they have to bathe in fragrance for several months. Doesn't Xiao Jiu even know this?"
It is rare to see such a mischievous expression on Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu's mind flickered, and she quickly looked away.
He was obviously still discussing serious matters, why was he suddenly seduced by Dai Ruyan's beauty?
What a waste of time!
Gong Yu poked Dai Ruyan's fingertips on his face, but his face was still blushing, and the nephrite jade was warm and fragrant in his arms, who could not be in a state of mind?
"Ayan, you are too close."
"What?" Dai Ruyan sat upright and looked at Gong Yu, "Don't you like this fragrance?"
"No... no."
Dai Ruyan raised her plain white hands and stroked Gong Yu's face and asked seriously: "Sure enough, Xiao Jiu is still angry because I was too indifferent just now?"
Gong Yu pursed her lips tightly, trying to keep her eyes away from the tender skin on Dai Ruyan's slightly loose collar.
"At that time, I was just thinking about how Xiao Jiu would know about the secret passage, so I couldn't help but look a little more serious." Dai Ruyan paused, frowned slightly and said: "Plus Xiao Jiu obviously doesn't want to tell me the truth, A little annoyed."
"Where did I not tell the truth?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan and asked
Before he finished speaking, the hand holding his cheek suddenly pinched Gong Yu's face, and Dai Ruyan said very seriously: "Xiao Jiu has been sending people to guard according to the black spots on the map these days, aren't you curious? ?”
"Of course I'm curious."
"Then why Xiao Jiu didn't want to ask me?"
Because Gong Yu didn't want Dai Ruyan to know that he was investigating her secretly.
Dai Ruyan let go of his hand as if sighing, and stroked Gong Yu's robe with his fingertips, saying: "Xiao Jiu's curiosity is understandable, but doubts are not."
The tone became more and more low, Dai Ruyan pointed at the folds of the robe and said softly: "No matter what I do, it is for Xiaojiu's benefit, Xiaojiu shouldn't doubt me."
"Even if everyone doubts me, Xiao Jiu can't doubt me."
Gong Yu listened in a daze, only to see Dai Ruyan's eyes blink slightly, those dark eyes looked at Gong Yu and asked, "Xiao Jiu, do you understand?"
"I... don't want Ayan to do those hurtful things."
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's wrist lightly with her fingertips, leaned closer and asked puzzledly, "Why?"
"If you really want to hurt people, I can do it too."
Gong Yu didn't want Dai Ruyan to get used to this kind of killing and scrambling.
"Really?"
"of course."
"But even if Xiao Jiu can do it, I don't want Xiao Jiu to do it."
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in confusion and asked, "Why?"
Dai Ruyan said softly with a smile in his eyes, "Because Xiao Jiu is not suitable for doing these things."
"Besides, why do I need to do things that hurt people? Xiao Jiu really thinks too much."
The more Gong Yu saw this expression, the more she could see the attitude behind Dai Ruyan's words.
Because Dai Ruyan is very good at disguising, since she said these comforting words with a smile, it does not mean that she agrees, on the contrary, Dai Ruyan is so strong that people cannot refuse certain things.
Especially when contemporary Ruyan stubbornly decided that she didn't want Gong Yu to do certain things, Gong Yu couldn't refute it.
When it came to the end, it was nothing more than being dismissed lightly by Dai Ruyan.
Gong Yu couldn't help feeling a little anxious, looking sideways at Dai Ruyan, pursing her lips but didn't know what to say.
The carriage suddenly became quiet again, as keen as Dai Ruyan, she knew that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The wheels were spinning, Dai Ruyan didn't say anything, just leaned lightly in Gong Yu's arms, playing with Gong Yu's hand with his palm.
Until he suddenly held a warm object in his hand, Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand tightly and said softly: "Actually, this jade pendant is two pieces of jade pendant divided into two."
"As long as Xiao Jiu finds out the way, he can easily get another jade pendant."
Gong Yu rubbed the jade pendant with her fingertips and said in a low voice: "I couldn't untie it at that time, now that Ayan told me so bluntly, it would be meaningless to untie it again."
Before the words finished, Dai Ruyan distanced himself slightly, looked at Gong Yu puzzled and asked, "Don't you want Xiao Jiu?"
"No."
"Then Xiaojiu is angry with me?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with uneasy eyes, held Gong Yu's cheeks in both hands, pressed his forehead against the side of Gong Yu's face, and said in a low voice: "At that time, I just thought about it. To tease Xiao Jiu once, it's not because I don't want to give the jade pendant to Xiao Jiu."
"Besides, I only want to give this jade pendant to Xiao Jiu, and I never want to give it to anyone else."
Gong Yu didn't understand why Dai Ruyan was suddenly uneasy, and quickly said comfortingly, "I'm not angry."
"Then why did Xiaojiu say it's boring?"
"I just feel that Ayan is coaxing a child with a jade pendant, which is not good at all."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not a child, and I have my own ideas and arrangements, don't Ayan think I should try it?"
Dai Ruyan gently rubbed Gong Yu's cheek with his palm, and the uneasiness in his eyes seemed to retreat, and he replied softly: "Of course I support what Xiao Jiu wants to do."
"Furthermore, even if Xiao Jiu is not a child, but I am a little older, and I always have to take care of Xiao Jiu."
No, this cannot be a reason for Dai Ruyan's strong desire to control at all.
Because her cheeks were held by Dai Ruyan's hands and she couldn't move, Gong Yu could only respond stiffly like a patient with cervical spondylosis: "Ayan, have you never thought that I am not a real Gong Yu in the first place? He's almost forty years old."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in surprise and asked, "Forty?"
"Yeah, so I should be the older one." Forgive Gong Yu for multiplying her age twice.
Dai Ruyan let go of the hand holding Gong Yu's cheek, looked at Gong Yu with a more serious expression.
Gong Yu inexplicably felt a sense of crisis popping up.
"Then Xiao Jiu actually already has someone he likes, doesn't he?"
what?
Why did things go a little differently?
Dai Ruyan's gaze gradually turned cold, Gong Yu hurriedly explained: "Ayan, don't think too much."
"I've always wondered why Xiao Jiu always gets close to those familiar and strange people. In fact, I'm not the only person Xiao Jiu likes, right?"
Gong Yu hugged Dai Ruyan lightly and said: "It's nothing, I was just joking just now."
But there was no response from Dai Ruyan, Gong Yuman explained with concern: "I really never liked anyone other than Ayan, and this is the first time I gave a girl a ring."
"Ayan, you trust me, okay?"
Dai Ruyan held the ring between Gong Yu's fingers tightly with her fingertips, looked at Gong Yu suspiciously in her eyes and said in a low voice:
"Really?"
"Really!" Gong Yu nodded in response.
"Xiao Jiu gave this ring to me alone, right?"
"Well, only for Ayan."
Before she finished speaking, Dai Ruyan bit Gong Yu's cheek hard, and Gong Yu fell backward in pain, with a muffled knock on her head.
Dai Ruyan did not let go, and said seriously as Gong Yu fell down: "If Xiao Jiu makes such a joke again, I will bite him hard."
Isn't this considered cruel?
Gong Yu was in so much pain that she burst into tears, thinking how Dai Ruyan became more and more cruel even before she got married.
A shadow fell in front of his eyes, Dai Ruyan leaned over to look at Gong Yu, gently rubbed Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and said in a low voice: "I don't allow Xiao Jiu to like other people besides me. Just remember."
Gong Yu only felt that Dai Ruyan's hand on her cheek was about to pinch her neck in the next second, and looked at Dai Ruyan with a little shortness of breath, and said, "Ayan, what's wrong with you?"
"I can allow Xiao Jiu to do anything, but this is not allowed."
Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's lips lightly with her fingertips and said repeatedly, "Xiao Jiu, you can't like others."
"I don't like others, I only like Ayan."
"You only like me?"
"Well, I only like Ayan."
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, smiled like a child, lowered her head and rubbed Gong Yu's cheek, her warm breath mixed with a soft kiss fell on her ear, slightly scalding.
Gong Yu wanted to raise her hand, but found that her arm had already been suppressed by Dai Ruyan.
"Ayan?"
"I'm here." Dai Ruyan leaned aside
, rubbing the ring on Gongyu's fingertips with her fingertips and whispering: "Xiao Jiu is not allowed to be so naughty, you must be obedient."
Saying that, Dai Ruyan poked his head closer, looking at Gong Yu's eyes as if they had regained their brilliance, and said: "As long as Xiao Jiu is obedient, I can give Xiao Jiu whatever she wants."
Such warm words, if Gong Yu hadn't been suppressed, maybe she would happily hug Dai Ruyan and kiss her madly.
But Gong Yu didn't understand why she couldn't use her strength. Ruyan Mingming looked weak, and her wrists were also very slender. How could she restrain herself so easily with such strength?
Could Dai Ruyan know martial arts?
It doesn't look like it, and if Dai Ruyan knows martial arts, his arms don't have any muscles, and his palms don't have any calluses, so he really doesn't look like a Lianjiazi.
"What is Xiao Jiu thinking?" Maybe Gong Yu would be acting very well, Dai Ruyan let go of Gong Yu's hand, and raised her hand to straighten Gong Yu's messy robe.
Gong Yu raised her hand to realize it, it didn't seem that Dai Ruyan had great strength, it seemed that her own strength had weakened.
Then I tried to clench my fists tightly, confirming that my strength seemed to have weakened a lot, but I didn't notice it at all.
It felt more like being poisoned.
"Ayan?"
"I'm here." Dai Ruyan leaned on the carriage and gently hugged Gong Yu and replied.
Gong Yu looked at her hands and said, "It seems that I can't exert my strength."
But Dai Ruyan didn't care, his fingertips were fastening the other jade pendant for Gong Yu.
"Ayan, you... the fragrance on your body isn't poisonous, right?" Gong Yu sniffed it close, although she didn't feel any discomfort, but when she really wanted to use force, she didn't have any strength at all.
"Xiao Jiu comes closer, isn't he afraid of being poisoned and fainted?"
When Gong Yu was told this, she wanted to distance herself, but Dai Ruyan couldn't distance herself when she was imprisoned.
Dai Ruyan fastened the jade pendant tightly, looked down at Gong Yu in his arms slightly, and said, "Want to escape?"
The slender and slender fingers tapped Gongyu's nose, and Dai Ruyan smiled brightly: "Xiao Jiu, you can't escape."
"Ayan, what does this mean?"
"Stupid, don't I understand enough?"
Gong Yu somehow felt that if Dai Ruyan was a vampire, she would probably have to be bitten.
"Are you scared?" Dai Ruyan gently rubbed the acupuncture point beside Gong Yu's forehead and said softly, "Coward, this is just
