No matter which one it is, Gong Yu will feel very distressed.

But Dai Ruyan seemed to be used to it, no sadness, no tears, only simple words.

The days gradually moved forward, and although Gong Yu did not go to court, she learned that the rumors in the capital had reached their peak.

Dali Temple Minister Chen Ming has always been upright, and the Tai Tuo put pressure on him several times to no avail. Gong Yu thought that the Tai Tuo must suppress this matter in the future.

So he asked the imperial physician to be arrested, and under threats and intimidation, the imperial physician wrote down the real cause of death of His Royal Highness Fourth Prince.

Gong Yu couldn't help but be speechless when she saw the cause of death, this father and daughter were really cruel.

Immediately afterwards, in the capital city, there was the matter of the Fourth Highness being poisoned and killed, and Zhao Anyue had always been at odds with the Fourth Highness, not talking about Gong Yu spreading rumors.

On the contrary, it was the people around Zhao Anyue who became suspicious first, and couldn't help but panic. Dali Temple Minister Chen Ming sent someone to arrest the servant girl next to Zhao Anyue and go back for interrogation.

This matter was even more troublesome, even if the Taifu wanted to release the fake edict, it would only make people more suspicious, so he had to act in secret.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the queen empress suddenly issued an imperial decree.

The court ministers who have been thinking about it for many years never thought that the imperial edict would be in the hands of the empress.

At this time, Gong Yu was busy trying to make popcorn in the mansion, and Dai Ruyan on the side covered her ears with her hands and called out, "Xiao Jiu, what are you doing?"

"I'm cooking something delicious."

"boom!"

The sound was indeed scary, but when the hot popcorn came out of the pan, Gong Yu stuffed a few and tasted it, and it was even more delicious after being dipped in syrup.

Gong Yu handed some to Dai Ruyan's mouth and said, "Ah Yan, try it?"

Dai Ruyan looked at the popcorn, ate one with some hesitation and asked, "Is this crispy?"

"Mmm, crunchy and sweet."

"A little too sweet."

Gong Yu guessed that Dai Ruyan probably didn't like to eat it very much, so she said: "Actually, it can be salty too. Do you want to try it, Ayan?"

"No, this food tastes a bit strange, it's better for Xiao Jiu to eat less."

A servant outside the door suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, the queen has issued an imperial edict to invite you to enter the palace."

Dai Ruyan looked sideways and said, "I'll go with you."

The two left the mansion and rushed to the gate of the palace. All the officials on the official road rushed to the palace anxiously, and the carriages of the Sixth and Fifth Highnesses rushed to the palace.

Looking at the tense situation outside, Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand tightly and said, "Does Ayan know that the queen has an imperial edict?"

"I don't know."

"Then what does the empress want to do with the imperial edict?"

Dai Ruyan looked forward and replied: "Perhaps what the queen holds is not the real imperial edict."

"Then why did the queen summon all the ministers?"

"The empress is only for herself from beginning to end. Thinking about it, His Majesty is about to die. If the imperial edict does not appear at this time, the officials will have forced the palace before His Majesty dies."

"But forcing the palace will not endanger the queen?" Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in bewilderment.

Since ancient times, forcing the palace has always been killing brothers, and I have never seen the killing of the emperor's concubine.

This is not in line with the strict etiquette of the palace, and it will humiliate the reputation. For those who want to sit on the throne, isn't it the same as tearing off their face to admit the injustice of the position they have gained.

Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's wrist and said, "Xiao Jiu, Your Highness was killed last night."

"Is it the queen?"

"Ah."

The Third Highness, Gong Yu, can understand, but why is the First Highness?

And now that the Queen has come up with an imperial edict, it is clear that her revenge is not over yet.

Gong Yu frowned and said: "Ayan, you should stay in the mansion?"

"Why?"

I always feel that the queen has gone crazy.

Maybe it will plant gunpowder or something, and directly let all those who don't like it go to heaven.

"I'm afraid the queen wants everyone to be buried with her."

"Stupid words." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu and said, "If I don't go with you, can I feel at ease?"

"Besides, the Queen's work seems to be full of fog, but in fact everything is just for revenge."

Gong Yu asked hesitantly: "But what happened back then should have nothing to do with His Highness."

"Who says it's irrelevant?"

Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly and said: "At that time, His Royal Highness was in charge of the palace affairs, and His Third Highness was poisoned, how could His Highness not know?"

"What does Ayan mean to say that His Highness let the Third Highness do what he did?"

"If the queen gives birth to a baby boy, is it only the Third Highness who is threatening?"

Gong Yu couldn't help being taken aback, how terrifying it was when she thought about it, the empress who was pregnant with Liujia, the third highness who was trying to murder, the great highness who contributed to the flames, and the generation's family were also secretly instigating.

The empress at that time was persecuted in such a way, one can imagine how deep her hatred was.

Beside him, Dai Ruyan gently held Gong Yu with his fingertips and said, "Xiao Jiu?"

"Ah."

"I worry about you."

Gong Yu shook Dai Ruyan's hand back and said, "Don't be afraid, I have a clear conscience."

After all, if the queen is not crazy, then everything should have little to do with her.

But Dai Ruyan's eyes showed uneasiness, as if Gong Yu's comforting words didn't help.

The carriage rattled as he thought about it, and Gong Yu asked in puzzlement, "Why is Ayan worried?"

"I'm worried someone might hurt you."

Is it because of the assassination last time?

Gong Yu said comfortingly, "I'm wearing protective clothing, and ordinary sharp knives can't hurt me."

Dai Ruyan was still uneasy, and asked in a low voice: "I've never heard of this protective clothing, where did Xiao Jiu find it?"

"I design it myself."

Except that it is a bit heavy to wear, the rest is okay.

When the carriage stopped, Dai Ruyan got out of the carriage, Gong Yu looked down at the towering palace walls, there were many guards guarding every gate, at least five times the number of guards at the palace gates.

Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and said, "Ah Yan really wants to accompany me in?"

"Ah."

Dai Ruyan obviously made up his mind, so Gong Yu had no choice but to remain silent, just thinking of Dai Ruyan's eyes filled with anxiety just now, and he couldn't help but think of asking if he could see the true face of the assassin hidden in the white mist.

But Dai Ruyan, who has always had excellent eyesight, shook his head and said he didn't see clearly.

A bad suspicion welled up in Gong Yu's heart, but she didn't want to believe that Dai Ruyan would do such a cruel thing.

However, this suspicion lingered in Gong Yu's head and entangled it endlessly, because at that time when the empress was pregnant, Gong Yu saw with her own eyes that Gong Quan, the prince's contemporary Ruyan, was alone alone.

At that time, Gong Yu didn't think much about it, she just thought that they were just enjoying the scenery and chatting, thinking about Ruyan's words at that time.

I couldn't help but feel a chill down my back, maybe His Highness would turn a blind eye to His Third Highness's behavior, or maybe Dai Ruyan told him about the threat of the fetus in the empress's womb.

If this assumption is true, and the Queen can find His Highness, it may also be associated with Dai Ruyan.

And the reason why Dai Ruyan was so worried was because she was involved in it herself, and she knew that the queen had been taking revenge on those people back then.

The Empress Gong Yu thought in fear, but Dai Ruyan didn't need to do that. Murdering the prince would not benefit Dai Ruyan at all.

Suddenly thinking about it, Ruyan pretended to see through her identity as a woman disguised as a man, but in fact she already knew it, and even directly said that she wanted Gong Yu to marry her.

So since I promised to replace Ruyan, everything has been quietly planned?

When the long palace road was about to come to an end, Gong Yuqing held Dai Ruyan lightly and said, "Assuming that the empress took the imperial edict, who does Ah Yan think will be the emperor?"

"It won't be His Royal Highness."

Dai Ruyan answered silently.

The two stepped into the main hall, the queen stood above, a group of ministers were at war, and His Highness Six and His Highness Fifth stood aside.

The queen looked at this side and smiled, "Since everyone is here, then Eunuch Li will recite the imperial decree."

"Yes."

"Following the emperor's imperial decree, since the death of the first emperor, I have gone through hardships and guarded the territory of the palace and the kingdom with all the ministers. However, I have more than enough energy but not enough strength. I am afraid that the time will be long when I am sick and weak. I hereby issue an edict to pass on the throne. The Nine Emperors Gong Yuzhai has a kind heart, although he is young, he knows the sufferings of the people, works hard, and will surely become a generation of wise kings in the future, so he will be passed on to the throne of Gong Yu Emperor. I hope that all ministers will help you wholeheartedly and guard the palace for generations to come. I admire this!"

When Eunuch Li finished reading the edict, Gong Yu looked dazed and didn't understand the situation.

All the ministers of Dai's party knelt down on the ground and responded: "The ministers receive the decree."

And His Highness the Sixth Highness and the Fifth Highness seemed to be a little confused, the Taifu's party and army were in a state of confusion, and some sloppy officials also knelt down on the ground.

The queen inspected the surroundings and said, "Are there still any dissatisfaction, ministers?"

"I dare not."

Several ministers beside the Tai Tuo immediately knelt aside, and Eunuch Li handed the imperial decree to Gong Yu and said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, please go see Your Majesty."

It turned out that the emperor was really still alive.

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan, Dai Ruyan let go of his hands and responded, "I'll wait for you here."

"Ah."

Entering the back of the main hall, it was the first time for Gong Yu to enter the emperor's bedroom. Apart from the bright light, there was nothing else in the huge hall.

The emperor lay weakly on the bed, Gong Yu approached, and Eunuch Li called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has come down."

Gong Yu couldn't help being very nervous, only to see the emperor slowly opened his eyes, and Eunuch Li retreated outside the palace.

"Do you know why I made you emperor?" the emperor asked with his back resting on a round pillow.

"My son doesn't know."

"The books on the desk are all notes from the party that recommends you to be crown prince."

Gong Yu turned her head to look at the mountain of papers piled up on the side, and the emperor said with a heavy breath, "The throne has become a place for powerful officials to play games. The more you are pushed, the more you will be suppressed by them in the future."

"You are not a suitable candidate to become the emperor, but the Dai family picked you, obviously it's like borrowing you to hold the lifeblood of the royal family of the Palace Kingdom."

"Then why did the emperor write down the imperial edict?"

The emperor looked at Gong Yu and said, "I didn't write it, and someone would force me to write it. I originally wanted Gong Liang to become emperor."

Gong Liang?Is this the name of His Royal Highness Six?

"He is talented, but he is not as weak as her biological mother. If you give me more time, I will give him the throne."

"Even if the father knows that the sixth brother killed his mother, don't you mind?"

The emperor coughed a few times, and his face became paler. He said, "A strategist needs means, and parents and brothers can abandon them."

"But Gong Liang was the only one who fell into the trap of girls of that generation and couldn't extricate himself, so that he could never recover, but he himself never repented."

Gong Yu approached and asked: "Father, is the palace already surrounded?"

"This imperial palace has long been a cage for imprisoning the Gong family. I watched my sons fight and die one by one, but I couldn't let them know that the real strategists are hidden deep and never easily reveal their flaws."

The emperor stared at Gong Yu and said, "You must remember that if one of the Dai's party and the Taifu's party is eliminated, the other party will definitely threaten the royal family of the Palace Kingdom."

Gong Yu nodded and heard the fight outside, and the emperor obviously also heard the voice outside and laughed: "The deeper they fight, the emperor can mediate from it, and restore the glory of the palace country in the past."

When the words stopped, the emperor slowly closed his eyes, Gong Yu stretched out his hand to test his breath, and found that the emperor had lost his breath.

Originally, there were still many questions I wanted to ask, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so weak.

The shouts of fighting made Gong Yu worry about Dai Ruyan outside, so she hurriedly turned to go to the outer hall, but unfortunately she met the queen.

The queen's makeup is heavy and her appearance is outstanding. Compared with the terminally ill emperor, she doesn't look like a couple.

"Don't His Royal Highness want to know who is threatening His Majesty?"

Gong Yu stepped back and said, "Father has passed away."

"Your Majesty has been seriously ill for a long time and can't hold it anymore." The queen's face did not show any sadness at all, as if she had not heard Gong Yu's words.

The queen walked over slowly, with a smile in her eyes and said, "Are you afraid of me?"

"This palace is not as scary as Dai Ruyan."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"nonsense?"

The queen smiled, sighed, walked towards Gong Yu with a long sword in her hand and said, "Beauties are all thorny, so it's possible that His Highness the Ninth Prince never doubted Dai Ruyan?"

"I……"

"Are you hesitating?"

The queen shook her head and said, "It is said that people only see the side they want to see, but they cannot see the dark side hidden behind."

"But I have never seen any kind of darkness in this deep palace, and I have never seen anyone who is more scheming than Dai Ruyan."

Gong Yu felt that the queen's smile was very strange, she held the hilt of her sword and said, "Please let me go out, empress."

"go out?"

"There is fighting and killing outside, your little highness is being so tightly guarded by Ru Yan, you have never seen such a scene before, have you?"

"Is all this designed by the Empress?"

The queen waved the sword in her hand, Gong Yu avoided to one side, the candlestick on the other side was cut down, and the curtain of the inner hall was burned.

"Your Highness, have you never thought that all this was designed by your wife?"

Gong Yu covered her nose and said, "You killed Brother Sanhuang and Brother Dahuang, and now you just want to take revenge on Dai's family, and Dai Ruyan has become a thorn in your side."

"Did you really just think that way?" The queen held the sword in one hand and the candlestick in the other and lit the beaded curtain window, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

"Dai Ruyan chose you, perhaps because you are so easy to deceive."

The queen threw the candlestick aside and laughed loudly: "It's really stupid!"

"The Dai family and Dai Ruyan have been tearing their skins apart since they married you. All this Dai Ruyan is for you to sit on the throne, and she will become the real power behind it."

Gong Yu didn't intend to pay attention to the queen, and stepped forward to break out of the burning palace, but the queen chased after her and swung her sword at Gong Yu.

Fortunately, the body armor finally came in handy, the robe was punctured in several places, and Gong Yu fought back against the sword held by the queen.

The queen without the sword showed no sign of fear, instead she smiled strangely and said, "Hasn't Your Highness the Ninth Prince ever wondered why I was able to leave the palace and sneak into the prison of Dali Temple to kill His Highness the Third?"

"Even if I'm a queen, I don't have that kind of ability outside the palace. On the contrary, only Dai Ruyan has such ability."

"Do you want to say that Dai Ruyan helped you kill Brother Sanhuang?"

"It's not what I want to say, but you should find out where Dai Ruyan was on the night the Third Highness died?"

Gong Yu couldn't refute, because that night Biyu just said that Dai Ruyan went to bed early, and there are some underground passages connected under the capital, if Dai Ruyan wants to leave secretly, it's an easy thing to do.

The surrounding fire became much stronger, and there seemed to be many people pouring water outside, but there was no thick smoke, and Gong Yu coughed and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose.

The queen's face seemed to be smiling or crying, and she cried out in pain: "Only by killing you can Dai Ruyan realize what life is better than death."

"What does the life and death of that heartless man have to do with me?

The only exit in the hall was already surrounded by ferocious fire, and the thick smoke in the hall became more and more pungent, so Gong Yu had no choice but to go inside.

But until he reached the corner, the entire hall was sealed, and there was no other way out.Gong Yu covered her mouth and nose out of breath, poured the water from the vase on the clothes, and covered her mouth and nose to maintain breathing.

The door outside the hall was knocked down, there were a few bangs, and then water poured into the hall, Gong Yu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief seeing that the fire was much smaller, but she didn't expect Dai Ruyan outside to come in eagerly.

The queen, who appeared from nowhere, suddenly ran towards Dai Ruyan with a sword, Gong Yu pulled Dai Ruyan and hurriedly hid aside, the sword hit the big porcelain bottle, and fell to the side and shattered on the ground.

The queen in front of her was like a lunatic who wounded someone with a sword. Gong Yu fought back with the sword, but because she was worried about Dai Ruyan beside her, she was slashed hard by the sword. Although there was no bleeding, the The strength was no worse than that of a wooden stick, and he stretched out his legs and kicked the queen down in pain.

It was only then that the crisis was barely resolved, Gong Yu took a deep breath, and Dai Ruyan called out worriedly: "Xiao Jiu!"

"I am fine."

The guards who came later suppressed the queen, and the fire in the hall was also extinguished, leaving only a piece of darkness in the hall, and the paintings on the wall were also smoked a lot.

Dai Ruyan hurriedly checked on Gong Yu's injuries, thankfully she didn't see any blood, and was relieved just now.

"I'm fine"

Gong Yu approached to comfort her.

"Just now, the remnants of His Highness's party mutinied, so the palace was in chaos for a while."

"Brother Emperor is already dead, why is there a mutiny?"

"Maybe it's just someone using this name. After all, if it succeeds, I'm afraid that the palace will change its dynasty today."

Gong Yu led Dai Ruyan out of the palace, the sun was scorching outside, the corpses of the dead and wounded soldiers had not been cleaned up, the ministers were all in a panic, and Gong Yu had never even seen these new soldiers.

Eunuch Li came out of the hall with red eyes, knelt aside and shouted: "Your Majesty is dead."

The officials and the generals knelt down one after another, but His Highness the Sixth Highness did not leave Gong Yu's eyes since then.

This mutiny came suddenly, and it ended suddenly.

Even Gong Yu didn't know where Dai Ruyan's soldiers came from. It wasn't until Qin Hua, who had recovered from his injuries, led Gong Yu's soldiers and horses into the palace, that Gong Yu suddenly discovered that everything was in Dai Ruyan's hands. Yan is in control.

On that day, the imperial edict was quickly issued to the palace, and no matter how unwilling the ministers were, there was no time to resist. After all, the soldiers and horses sent by An in the palace had been eliminated by Dai Ruyan, and even the Taifu turned blue with anger and waved his hand. sleeve away.

Qin Hua was dressed in a white robe, his face looked a little pale, and he kowtowed: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

Because of the death of the former emperor, Gong Yu was also dressed in white, guessing that Qin Hua should have come to report the situation, and asked carefully, "When did Mr. Qin and his wife cooperate so tacitly?"

"The empress is so good at predicting things, that's why this humble minister mobilized His Majesty's soldiers and horses without authorization. This minister is guilty."

"I asked when did you negotiate?"

Qin Huafu lowered his head and replied, "About half a month ago."

Gong Yu thought about it, half a month ago, when Dai Ruyan was still recovering from illness, did she already think of how to use the mutiny to suppress the officials?

Or the mutiny itself was planned by Dai Ruyan, with the purpose of compromising His Highness the Sixth Highness and the officials, so as to ascend the throne smoothly.

"Your Majesty?" Qin Hua raised his head slightly and said, "Nowadays there are quite a few soldiers and horses in the imperial palace, the most urgent task is to clear up the civil strife, and then conduct the canonization ceremony."

Gong Yu sat down and asked: "Mr. Qin used to be cautious with his wife, why is he so obedient and obedient to his orders now?"

Qin Hua lowered his head again and replied, "I'm guilty."

"Does Mr. Qin know how the elder brother died?"

"I have had someone investigate it, and His Royal Highness committed suicide by taking poison."

Take poison?

Who sent the poison?

Gong Yu slowly got up and walked in front of Qin Hua, saying: "I once asked someone to check Mr. Qin's family background, and found that Mr. Qin was the school boy accompanying the eldest brother a few years ago."

"Later, I heard that Mr. Qin helped the eldest brother answer the poems of the father, and he was very appreciated by the father."

Qin Hua frowned tightly and said, "Is there something Your Majesty wants to say?"

"Why does such an appreciated person become an unfavored prince's aide?"

Gong Yu strolled around Qin Hua and said: "I think everything is over, and Mr. Qin doesn't need to say that the minister is guilty. The enthronement ceremony will be two days later, and Mr. Qin will still have a place in the court."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty is guilty."

"It's not a crime. It's just a matter of finding a job in one's place, and each one being the master."

"Your Majesty is not angry?"

"What's the matter with this? Mr. Qin is very knowledgeable, and it will be useful in the court."

Qin Hua slightly raised his head to look at Gong Yu and said, "The Empress has already arranged soldiers and horses to guard the inside and outside of the palace, and the mansions of the ministers in the court have also sent troops to guard the mansions. Presumably, these soldiers and horses will not evacuate until the enthronement ceremony."

"Isn't Your Majesty afraid that the empress has ulterior motives?"

Gong Yu looked at Qin Hua and responded, "If I have other intentions, I'm afraid I don't know how many times I have died."

"Your Majesty is this?"

"Maybe Ayan has ulterior motives, but I know she wants to better protect me, so I choose to accept."

"But in this case, His Majesty is surrounded by the empress's people."

"There's nothing wrong with that, as long as it can make Ayan feel more at ease."

Gong Yu thought for a while and said: "Anyway, isn't Mr. Qin still my staff?"

Qin Hua shook his head and said, "I'm guilty."

"If you are guilty, you should be punished. Anyway, the court lacks people who can speak up and accept advice. Mr. Qin should do his duty."

"Your Majesty?" Qin Hua kowtowed in response, "The guilty minister has received the order."

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Gong Yu was awakened by Dai Ruyan before dawn.

Dai Ruyan wore this complicated dragon robe for Gong Yu, and Gong Yu looked at herself in the mirror, feeling unaccustomed to it.

"The things on this head are too heavy." Gong Yu said as she stretched out her hands to push away the obtrusive bead strings in front of her.

"It's really tiring to wear this crown, but Xiao Jiu has to walk carefully later, otherwise it will be bad if he falls down."

"No, I practiced several times last night."

Dai Ruyan pushed Gong Yu to stand in front of the mirror and said: "This robe fits very well, Xiao Jiu looks very handsome."

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan beside her in the bronze mirror, Dai Ruyan's eyes were bright and mixed with joy, obviously satisfied.

"Ayan, do you think I can be a good emperor?"

"Of course it is possible." Dai Ruyan leaned lightly on Gong Yu and replied, "Although the current situation is not stable, but we have to take this step, and it is possible to deal with them slowly in the future."

"Those court ministers are probably waiting for me to make a mistake."

"Don't be afraid, I will take good care of Xiao Jiu."

Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan, knowing in her heart that Dai Ruyan obviously had control and understanding of the situation in the court.

This court seems to be Dai Ruyan's new chessboard, but who will be Dai Ruyan's chess player?

"I'm a little hungry."

Dai Ruyan lightly poked Gong Yu's cheek and said, "You can't talk about me anymore, Xiao Jiu has to talk about me."

Gong Yu turned her head to one side, and Dai Ruyan tidied up the crown with great difficulty and fell to the side.

"I didn't do it on purpose." Gong Yu stretched out his hand to support the crown in a comical way: "Madam, help me quickly."

"I'm going to change my name and call me queen." Dai Ruyan stood on tiptoe and said helplessly.

"The queen doesn't sound good at all."

"You have to call it if it doesn't sound good."

Gong Yu tugged on his overcoat and said, "Then why does Ah Yan still call me Xiaojiu?"

"If I don't call you Xiaojiu, then what should I call you?"

"Of course it is His Majesty."

Dai Ruyan smiled, then imitated Gong Yu's tone and said: "Your Majesty is not pleasant at all."

"Ayan, this is wrong." Gong Yu stretched his arms around Dai Ruyan in front of him, rubbed Dai Ruyan's cheek and said: "I'm going to faint just listening to the etiquette in the palace these days. Thinking about how long it will take in the future makes me unhappy."

"Xiao Jiu is His Majesty, who dares to talk about it?"

"Yes, for example, the living orders that record daily food and drink, and there are historians who record the words and deeds of the court. It's not easy to be an emperor."

Dai Ruyan leaned against Gong Yu lightly, listening to Gong Yu's broken thoughts, "Why is Xiao Jiu worried about this?"

"On weekdays, Xiao Jiu is very obedient. Historians are always fair and don't write nonsense."

Gong Yu kissed the next generation, Ruyan, and asked in a low voice, "Is Ayan busy these days?"

"Fortunately, the arrangement of affairs in the harem is actually only a matter of a few days."

At the end of the enthronement ceremony, Gong Yu looked at the stack of papers and suddenly wanted to strike.

No wonder most emperors in ancient times were foolish emperors. After this system, the emperor would not be exhausted to death.

And if there is no salary bonus, it is not as easy as eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

I wanted to think about it, but Gong Yu could only think about it, and called the six departments, as well as the Taifu and the Dai Prime Minister to review these memorials in turn.

The Taifu and the prime minister had always been at odds, so Gong Yu simply asked them to supervise each other.

After several days of accumulated memorials, the preliminary review was completed, and Qin Hua and Gong Yu checked some key memorials again.

At dusk, Gong Yu turned her neck and looked at the folder in front of her and said, "These are all bad debts. The Taifu and the Prime Minister naturally don't want to deal with them. Does Mr. Qin have a good idea?"

Qin Hua shook his head and said: "The interests of the states and counties are colluding, falsely reporting food, and continuously losing money in taxes. Unless someone is sent to investigate thoroughly, it needs to be uprooted."

"I think so too, so I want Mr. Qin to take up this position."

"Your Majesty should discuss this matter in the court hall."

Gong Yu shook her head and said, "They're all a nest of snakes and rats. Once the top notices a strict investigation, the bottom may have already been cunning."

"Secretly investigate and collect criminal evidence, I can write a secret edict to Mr. Qin."

"Your Majesty trusts me so much, I'm afraid the guilty minister is not up to the task." Qin Hua bowed his head.

"Mr. Qin, it's best to find out about this matter before the autumn harvest, otherwise I will punish you severely."

"The guilty minister leads the order."

In the middle of the night, Qin Hua left the palace with a secret edict written by Gong Yu and a group of guards.

Gong Yu stretched her arms and rushed to the Queen's Palace for dinner. Although the Queen's Palace was very close, the Palace was so big that it was not easy to get there.

When entering the hall, Dai Ruyan was sitting on the sidelines with his hands in his hands, and the food had already been set.

"What are you eating today?"

As Gong Yu said, she approached and lifted the lid of the bowl by herself.

Dai Ruyan closed the book and said: "Steamed sea bass."

"But these are cold, let me heat them up."

Seeing that it was completely dark outside, Gong Yu knew that she was late.

Before the hot food was placed, Dai Ruyan filled the soup and handed it to Gong Yu and asked, "Are you busy today?"

"It's okay, it's just to discuss things, so I forgot the time."

"I kept Ayan waiting for a long time." Gong Yu said apologetically holding the hot soup.

"It's okay, I can read a book, and the time will pass faster."

Dai Ruyan sipped the soup, Gong Yu was very hungry and was busy eating.

The palace was very quiet for a while, the queen's palace was very close to the emperor's bedroom, it was spacious and bright inside, the only bad thing was that once it was quiet, words would echo.

Gong Yu asked hesitantly: "Why don't Ayan move to live in my bedroom?"

"No."

"Why is this?"

In fact, this is not the first time Dai Ruyan has rejected Gong Yu's proposal.

During the day, Dai Ruyan never left the palace, and Gong Yu was also busy and stayed in the palace or the imperial study room most of the time.

Dai Ruyan used to like to cling to Gong Yu the most, but for some reason these days, she always felt a little cold.

Gong Yu sandwiched the fried crispy chicken, biting into it in dissatisfaction and making a crunching sound.

However, Dai Ruyan didn't stop her, and instead let Gong Yuka bite.

"This is not in the same hall, Ayan doesn't come to see me anymore." Gong Yu recited dissatisfied.

"See what you do?"

Pricked... Heartbroken!

"Doesn't Ah Yan miss me?" Gong Yu asked with her eyes wide open.

Dai Ruyan held the fish meat to Gong Yu's mouth and said: "You are busy now, I know, I will disturb you if you go."

"Don't bother." Gong Yu said like a cat being fed, eating the fish that was handed over: "I want to stay with Ayan more."

"You and Mr. Qin have been chatting late into the night for the past few days, and I can't do anything even if I go."

It turns out that this is the root cause.

Gong Yu smiled and said, "Well, I won't let Mr. Qin come tomorrow."

"Why?"

"I want to accompany Madam."

"If you neglect Madam, it is a crime worthy of death."

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Ma'am, will you promise me?"

"There has never been a queen who lived in the emperor's palace."

"Now there is."

"Okay, then it's up to you."

Gong Yu held the soup bowl and lightly touched the next generation Ruyan bowl and said, "Then let Biyu clean it later."

"Today?"

"Yes."

Dai Ruyan pressed her lips tightly and asked: "Then I won't feel bored in front of you all day?"

"will not."

People are so strange. At first, Gong Yu was guarded by Dai Ruyan all day long, and she was not used to it.

But it's only been a few days now, and Gong Yu misses the days when Dai Ruyan could be seen as soon as she looked up.

And the hall is so big, it's not a problem for Dai Ruyan to be alone in the hall all day long.

Just like that, Ye Dai Ruyan moved into the emperor's bedroom, but unexpectedly, after only half a month, Gong Yu inexplicably felt a suffocating feeling like choking her throat.

As the Double Ninth Festival approaches, the weather seems to be getting a little cooler day by day.

Gong Yu originally wanted to eat a few more iced lychees, but the maid informed the empress that the daily consumption of lychees was forbidden.

Back then, Gong Yu was the one who owned a piece of fruit trees.

Of course, even the number of ice cubes used per day is accurate to the nearest cube, and it is even more extravagant to ask whether Gong Yu is gluttonous and wants to eat a few mouthfuls of iced yogurt.

"Why does Xiaojiu eat so little today?" Dai Ruyan asked puzzledly during dinner at night.

Gong Yu rolled up her sleeves and said confidently: "Ayan, I use the ice in the palace according to the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, why is there an additional limit?"

Dai Ruyan just said: "Xiao Jiu can't eat because of this?"

"Ayan knows that I don't mean it."

"Your sunflower water is coming, and you can eat some ice cold, then the pain will be severe, what do you want?"

Gong Yu was speechless for a moment, biting the chicken wings helplessly and said: "But the summer heat has not subsided in the past few days, and the heat is so fierce, how did Ah Yan make all the maids who were shaking the fans withdraw?"

Dai Ruyan stopped suddenly and said, "I am indeed the one who removed those two maids."

and then?

This frankly made Gong Yu unable to get angry.

"Why did Ah Yan remove those two maids?"

"I do not like."

The topic stopped for a while, and Dai Ruyan sipped the soup lightly with a wooden spoon in his hand, and stopped talking.

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan's somewhat serious face and hurriedly said: "If you don't like it, then you can withdraw it, but sometimes the hall still needs to be fanned."

"I asked Eunuch Li to find two clever and obedient father-in-laws to serve Xiao Jiu."

male?

No, Gong Yu suddenly realized the importance of the matter.

"Could it be that those two maids did something wrong and made Ayan angry?"

"No."

"Really?" Gong Yu didn't believe it.

Without realizing it, Dai Ruyan suddenly put down the soup bowl in his hand and said, "I'm going to take a bath and rest."

Hey?

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan's soup bowl, which was less than usual, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Dai Ruyan and said: "Don't, Ayan eat more, I just don't ask."

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a serious face, then picked up the wooden spoon again, Gong Yu put a piece of mushrooms on Dai Ruyan's small dish and said, "Ah Yan, has your appetite recently?"

"good."

"That must be a bad mood."

Sure enough, Dai Ruyan didn't refute, Gong Yu mixed rice with soup, holding a small mouthful of rice with a wooden spoon in his hand, and said, "Didn't you tell me? If Ayan is in a bad mood, tell me, don't get sulky."

Dai Ruyan opened his mouth to eat the rice handed by Gong Yu, Gong Yu asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

"A bit salty."

The taste is really light.

"Then why is Ayan unhappy?" Gong Yu asked herself with a big mouthful of rice.

Dai Ruyan held a handkerchief and wiped the rice grains from the corner of Gong Yu's mouth, saying: "It's just a trivial matter."

"It's definitely not a trivial matter. Things that can make Ayan unhappy are big things in my heart."

"This is nothing compared to Xiao Jiu's big event."

Gong Yu wrapped the green vegetables with the pickled radish on the side, poured it on the rice in the spoon, and handed it to Dai Ruyan's mouth, saying: This is also super delicious. "

Dai Ruyan ate with her head down, and Gong Yu secretly discovered that if Dai Ruyan was fed, she would eat more than usual.

"So what did those two maids do?"

"Those two court ladies often cast their eyes on Xiao Jiu, didn't Xiao Jiu notice it all the time?"

Gong Yu's mouth was full of rice on the first floor, some did not understand Wang Xiangdai Ruyan, and said vaguely: "I...why didn't I find out?"

"stupid."

Dai Ruyan poured tea, took a sip, and looked at the darkness outside.

The sound of cicadas weakened, the breeze caressed the fine hair beside Dai Ruyan's cheek through the open window, Gong Yu stared blankly.

"His Sixth Highness and Fifth Highness proposed to return to the fief, Xiao Jiu has thought about it?" Dai Ruyan turned his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice.

Gong Yu held the soup bowl and said, "I have chosen two remote fiefdoms."

"The Fifth Highness has always been extravagant and wasteful, if the fief is too poor
