In the case of corruption in the late autumn, Gong Yu forcibly ordered the beheading of more than ten people, and sent people to confiscate the treasury of corrupt and bribery officials, so that Qin Hua was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
In order to fight against the trend of corruption, Gong Yu asked Qin Hua to specially revise the laws and regulations of the palace country, and the punishment for corruption was detailed to the standard of punishment for embezzlement and bribery.
For a while, there was a lot of turmoil in the court. After all, the new emperor of Gongguo had never ordered the beheading of a third-rank official.
There are eyes and ears everywhere in the capital, and the news spreads as soon as it is spread, and the emperor's feet become stricter, so naturally the counties and counties in the palace kingdom will be much more peaceful.
In the late autumn season, the autumn wind was slightly cool. When Gong Yu woke up one morning, she felt a little dizzy, but she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't think it would cause a low-grade fever and cough.
My head is dizzy all day long, my appetite is not as good as it used to be, and I can take medicine day by day.
Gong Yu couldn't help being a little upset, but because of her cough, Dai Ruyan was often woken up at night, and her heart was full of guilt.
In the early morning, Gong Yu clearly woke up, but she was so dizzy that she even had a headache and a burning pain in her throat.
After finally getting up slowly, the sweat on his cheeks was still cool, and Dai Ruyan beside him fell asleep peacefully.
The sky outside the window was still only hazy, Gong Yu got up and staggered to sit on a chair beside her, poured some warm tea and drank a few sips.
Outside the slightly open window, thick fog covered the imperial city, leaving only a hazy area.
Gong Yu suddenly coughed a few times, Dai Ruyan seemed to wake up, sat up slightly and asked, "Why is Xiao Jiu sitting there?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little thirsty."
Dai Ruyan got up and walked over, looking at Gong Yu's pale cheeks, wiped the sweat on Gong Yu's cheeks with his palm and said: "Don't go to the morning court today, let the imperial doctor take a good look at it."
"Okay." Gong Yu blinked and responded.
At night, Gong Yu's high fever persisted and she fell into a coma until the next evening. When Gong Yu slowly woke up, she was very tired.
"Does it feel better?" Dai Ruyan held the decoction in his hand and said in a low voice, "Well, I'm still a little dizzy."
"Last night, Xiao Jiu had a fever and was babbling nonsense."
"No wonder I feel a little uncomfortable in my throat." Gong Yu smiled and said with a slightly hoarse voice.
Dai Ruyan held the decoction and said: "Come on, drink some decoction, when the fever subsides, you will be fine."
Gong Yu frowned slightly and almost vomited out of her stomach. She finally finished the soup, and a candied fruit was stuffed in her mouth.
"Hey, this medicine is a bit bitter, so I prepared candied fruit."
"It's so sweet."
"Does Xiao Jiu like it?"
Dai Ruyan held a handkerchief in his hand and wiped Gong Yu's cheeks. Gong Yu fixed his eyes on the memorials on the low table beside him and said, "There must be a lot of memorials accumulated in the past two days."
"I reviewed the memorials accumulated in the past few days for Xiao Jiu."
"Ayan alone?"
"Well, Xiao Jiu is too busy, that's why he became sick from exhaustion."
Gong Yu looked at the light blue under Dai Ruyan's eyes, although she wore light makeup, she couldn't hide the tiredness in her eyes.
"Ayan must be exhausted, right?" Gong Yu rubbed his cheek against Dai Ruyan's palm and asked.
"No, it will be fine if Xiao Jiu wakes up." Dai Ruyan gently rubbed Gong Yu's cheek with his palm and said softly, "Don't lose weight, Xiao Jiu, otherwise I will definitely feel very distressed."
"It's okay, I'll grow fat once I eat it."
Dai Ruyan pursed her lips and smiled, stroking Gong Yu's brow with her fingertips and said, "But once Xiao Jiu gets sick, she becomes much thinner."
Gong Yu lightly held Dai Ruyan's hand, kissed the palm to comfort him: "No matter how thin I am, I'm still fatter than Ayan, and Ayan is so thin."
"Is it scary?"
"Yeah, I always worry that if there is a strong wind one day, Ayan will be blown down."
"Nonsense again." Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's cheek lightly with his fingertips and said, "I'm not like Xiao Jiu who is always sick and worrying."
Gong Yu buried half of her face in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Ayan, does this despise me?"
"I'm joking with Xiao Jiu."
"Hmph, Ah Yan just despises me."
Dai Ruyan held the quilt with her fingertips and said, "Little Jiu, I won't be able to see you if you hide under the quilt."
Gong Yu let go, and Dai Ruyan pulled off the quilt lightly, only to see Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's face in both hands, slightly lowered his head and kissed Gong Yu's pale cheek and said softly: "Xiao Jiu, hurry up!" It's just getting better."
The fingertips gently pinching the earlobe, caressing the fine soft hair beside Gong Yu's cheeks, Dai Ruyan's eyes are full of pity.
"Ayan, do I smell bad?"
After all, if you have a fever at night, you will sweat easily.
"No." Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's cheek affectionately, listened to Gong Yu's flustered heartbeat and said in a low voice: "Didn't Xiao Jiu realize that the clothes have been changed?"
Gong Yu raised her hand in a daze, looked at her clothes, looked at Dai Ruyan with reddish cheeks, and said falteringly, "I...now I found out."
"Are you shy?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a smile in his eyes, kneaded Gong Yu's earlobe with his fingertips and said softly: "Xiao Jiu is not like this usually."
"What's wrong with me on weekdays?"
Dai Ruyan pulled some distance away, looked down at Gong Yuying and said, "On weekdays, Xiao Jiu is always very enthusiastic, why is she blushing like an ordinary little girl?"
Gong Yu turned her head slightly to avoid Dai Ruyan's direct gaze and said: "Ayan can speak sarcastic words."
"If Ayan was ill, I would naturally take care of Ayan in every detail, but Ayan just acted like a normal person, as if she was just teasing me."
"Where did I tease Xiao Jiu?" Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's untied strands of fine hair with his fingertips, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Xiao Jiu's mind is not right, so it's easy..."
"Easy what?"
Dai Ruyan let go of his hand, pulled a little distance away and raised his eyebrows and said: "It's easy to think wildly."
Gong Yu stared blankly, stretched out his hand to lightly hold Dai Ruyan's hand that was hanging down at the side, and asked tentatively: "Hasn't Ayan ever thought about me?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's just... the same idea as me."
Dai Ruyan smiled, held Gong Yu's hand back and said in a low voice: "I don't know what is going on in Xiao Jiu's mind?"
This is definitely being teased.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan who was smiling like a spring breeze with a look of lovelessness on his face. Although it looks good, it is not edible, it really makes people's heart itch.
"Sure enough, Ah Yan actually doesn't understand the way of husband and wife at all."
"The way of husband and wife?"
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu, her eyebrows turned attractively, and the bead string next to her ear swayed slightly, making it very dazzling.
It seems that since getting married, Dai Ruyan's makeup and jewelry are much more refined than before.
Just being stared at like this, Gong Yu couldn't help but her heart fluttered violently, and she unconsciously pursed her lips tightly. No matter how you look at it, this small gesture is like a little girl.
Dai Ruyan on the side looked at Gong Yu's small movements with bent eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you continue talking?"
"Say... what are you talking about?" Gong Yu blinked her eyes and answered with a guilty conscience.
"My husband and wife relationship with Xiaojiu."
If it wasn't clear that Dai Ruyan really didn't understand these things, Gong Yu would have thought that Dai Ruyan was flirting with herself.
"Little Nine..."
"Well, what happened?"
Dai Ruyan laughed softly: "We should be like wives and wives."
"It's not impossible to be a wife and wife, anyway, you have to..."
"What do you want?"
Gong Yu felt more and more guilty when she was watched, she poked Dai Ruyan's palm with her fingertips and said, "It's...the bridal chamber."
Several months have passed, seeing that Dai Ruyan obviously has no idea, Gong Yu can only be cheeky.
However, Dai Ruyan was only slightly taken aback, and asked Gong Yu's hand tightly between his fingers, "Say it again, Xiao Jiu?"
what?
"I won't say it anymore." Gong Yu felt that Dai Ruyan must be teasing herself.
Gong Yu buried half of her face in the quilt, pretending to be asleep.
Dai Ruyan at the side poked Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and called softly, "Xiao Jiu?"
"Xiao Jiu, are you asleep?"
"Well, fell asleep."
Dai Ruyan raised his lips slightly, looked softly at Gong Yu and said softly, "I asked someone to cook fresh fish soup. It's getting dark now, and it's time to eat."
"Why don't we eat together and let Xiao Jiu sleep well?"
With a grunt growling in her stomach, Gong Yu raised her head and looked at Dai Ruyan with a sincere face, feeling inexplicably and heartbroken.
Did Dai Ruyan really have no desire to get closer?
The words have been so straightforward, it is obvious that Gong Yu has no way to say anything, who would have imagined how innocent and beautiful Gong Yu thought at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that getting married was a hurdle, but if you marry, you can marry into the family. On behalf of such a good wife as Ruyan, Gong Yu can only make good offerings.
Gong Yu put on thick clothes, washed up, and sat down with her peers like Yan Yan.
There were bright lights burning in the hall, Gong Yu reached out to take the soup bowl from Dai Ruyan, sipped it and sighed: "This soup is really delicious."
"Your body hasn't recovered yet, so you can't eat too greasy food. I'm worried that Xiao Jiu won't get used to it."
"No, it tastes good."
Most of the days of convalescence, Gong Yu's little life is quite moist.
Dai Ruyan reviewed the memorials very quickly, sometimes even Gong Yu couldn't keep up, and two people always did things much faster than one.
But even so, Gong Yu still tried to move as many memorials for herself, saving Dai Ruyan from being too tired.
Nesting in the palace all day, Gong Yu would take a nap after reviewing the memorials every day, and Dai Ruyan stayed by the side most of the time.
Even though Gong Yuming showed careful thinking, Dai Ruyan just had no idea, and the beauty trick didn't work very well at first glance, not to mention it was late autumn, and if she wore a small skirt, she might be criticized by Dai Ruyan.
When Qin Hua came to discuss state affairs, Dai Ruyan was teasing the little rabbit, and Gong Yu ate the roasted sweet potato and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Qin?"
"The minister is here to submit a list of the amount of property that corrupt officials have put into the treasury."
A list was clearly presented in the early court, so Qin Hua made a special trip here at this time?
Gong Yu put down the half-eaten roasted sweet potato, stretched out his hand to unfold the list, and saw that it was a list of officials who secretly manipulated the imperial examinations in previous years.
And the top officials are also the Prime Minister and the Taifu. This list is clearly divided. Gong Yu looked at it and asked: "Mr. Qin, is this list verifiable?"
"It's just a preliminary estimate. Wait for Wei Chen to ask someone to check carefully."
With a little fear, Qin Hua glanced at Dai Ruyan who was aside.
The relationship network above covered almost half of the officials in the court. No wonder Gong Yu always felt that these officials were closely connected. Whenever a decision was made, the two old foxes did not respond, but a group of people underneath had already started roaring.
Gong Yuwei congee frowned and said, "Let's investigate this matter secretly for the time being."
"Yes."
After Qin Hua left, Gong Yu unfolded the list, broke off the roasted sweet potato and ate it, and suddenly saw Chu Fei looking for the list.
This Chu Feixun didn't have much trouble in the hall, and he looked quite honest, so the second princess had chosen a good choice.
A group of people were killed or injured during the imperial examination last year, and a group of people were replaced here.
If she is always controlled by this group of people, it may be difficult for Gong Yu to arrange her own power in the government.
"What is Xiao Jiu thinking so preoccupied with?"
"I'm thinking about the reason for the casualties of officials in the imperial examination last year. It seems that someone deliberately leaked the answers to the imperial examination."
Dai Ruyan sat on the side holding the little rabbit, glanced at the list, and said darkly: "The imperial examination is held every three years, and the next imperial examination will have to wait for two years. How can Xiao Jiu investigate this matter now?"
Gong Yu turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan, only to see Dai Ruyan's expression was as usual, his eyes were clear and bright, apparently he didn't care about this matter.
However, there are various indications that Dai Ruyan is the person who is most likely to do the behind-the-scenes thing.
The case of leaking questions caused suspicion and suspicion within the court party. Now that I think about it, it seems that this case happened after Dai Ruyan said that he didn't want to leave the capital because it was interesting.
Perhaps Dai Ruyan's purpose at that time was to cause confusion among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Gong Yu thought so, lowered her head and bit the roasted sweet potato, Dai Ruyan put down the rabbit in her hand, poured tea and said, "I'm going out of the palace tomorrow."
"Out of the palace?"
"What does Ayan want to do?"
Dai Ruyan drank tea and said, "The second princess's wedding banquet, Xiao Jiu is busy with government affairs, but as a queen, she still has to attend some affairs."
"I also need to go."
"Xiao Jiu, let's see how many papers are still unapproved?"
Gong Yu looked closely at Dai Ruyan and said, "When will Ayan come back?"
"Return to the palace at about dusk."
"so late?"
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly and said, "Wedding banquets are often lively until late at night, so it's too late for me to come back at dusk?"
"I don't want Ayan to go." Gong Yu leaned against Dai Ruyan, pulled Dai Ruyan's drooping sleeve shamelessly and said in a low voice: "The second sister is a wolf, if I don't guard, if Ayan What to do if you are bullied?"
Dai Ruyan's ears were pulled lightly, so Gong Yu could only sit obediently.
"Does Xiao Jiu think that I look easy to bully?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a smile between his eyes and brows.
amount……
It seems that Gong Yu has never seen anyone who can bully Dai Ruyan.
Gong Yu blinked and replied innocently: "I'm not worried about Ayan."
When Gong Yu said these nasty words, she felt goosebumps all over the floor.
Dai Ruyan scratched Gong Yu's nose lightly with her fingertips and said, "What exactly do you want?"
"Second Sister Huang almost made me sink into the water last time, why did Ah Yan still attend her wedding banquet?"
"Chu Fei's search for an official position is small, but her father is the old master Chu Fei who is as famous as General Song. What do you think your second sister wants to do?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan blankly and said, "Why don't I know about this?"
"Because Chu Fei is old and has long since left the court, and Chu Feixun is not a son-in-law, so he left the mansion in a fit of anger and took part in the imperial examination to get a fifth-rank Beijing official. Few people in the court know his details."
Dai Ruyan took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Second Sister Huang is really too persistent."
Gong Yu couldn't help sighing, looked at Dai Ruyan's exquisite makeup and said in a low voice: "Before our wedding banquet, the second sister Huang secretly made a lot of troubles, and she really has a deep love for Ayan."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Dai Ruyan put down the teacup and asked, "Could Xiao Jiu still doubt me?"
"Nope."
"I'm wondering when did A Yan know that the second emperor sister likes women?"
Dai Ruyan frowned slightly as if remembering something bad, and said with a serious expression, "What do Xiao Jiu ask these dirty things for?"
Gong Yu was a little surprised by this reaction, she looked closely at Dai Ruyan and said, "Ah Yan is angry?"
"Could it be that Second Sister Huang did something bad to A Yan?"
Gong Yu asked with a serious face.
"No, I just think your second sister is dirty."
Dai Ruyan said so, gently caressed Gong Yu's cheek with his palm and said: "Xiao Jiu is different from Second Huangjie, Xiao Jiu is very clean."
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in confusion and asked, "What does dirty mean?"
"Don't ask any more." Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips, pecked lightly, and then distanced herself.
Although no conclusive evidence was obtained, Gong Yu could clearly feel the obvious disgust in Dai Ruyan's eyes.
One can't help guessing that the second imperial sister's reputation in the capital is indeed comparable to that of Gong Qingyan who openly raises a young son.
Could it be that the second imperial sister wanted to force Dai Ruyan to die?
It seems impossible, if this is the case, the Second Huangjie will not be able to live until now.
From time to time, Gong Yu glanced at Dai Ruyan at the side, thinking about the dirty words that Dai Ruyan said in her head.
Maybe it means that the second princess has something to do with the female relatives raised in the mansion?
No matter how he guessed, Gong Yu didn't have the guts to ask again, Dai Ruyan put his hand on the back of Gong Yu's hand and said: "Don't let Xiao Jiu think about it."
"I don't want to either, but as long as there is something about Ayan, my mind seems to be involuntary, and I automatically think about Ayan."
Gong Yu pursed her lips tightly, and answered her words very seriously.
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu and said in a low voice, "I really want to know for a long time?"
Gong Yu nodded in response: "Yes."
"Actually, it's just that your second sister Huang was hanging out with the female relatives in her mansion when she was drunk. I ran into it by accident."
"and then?"
"Where is there anything else?" Dai Ruyan said with a helpless Gong Yu, "I really hated it so I left the meeting halfway."
Gong Yu looked into Dai Ruyan's eyes, and vaguely felt that Dai Ruyan still had a short story to tell.
Dai Ruyan caressed Gong Yu's brow lightly and said seriously: "Xiao Jiu is not allowed to imitate your Second Sister Huang, otherwise..."
"How about otherwise?"
Gong Yu smiled mischievously.
"Then I won't forgive Xiao Jiu."
"I do not know."
Dai Ruyan responded with a smile: "I know, Xiao Jiu can't."
Gong Yu has always felt that Dai Ruyan is ignorant of love, but she didn't expect that it was not ignorance, but disgust. It really couldn't be worse than this.
"Okay, if you continue to ask, it will take more than half a day today, and the papers in front of you haven't been approved yet." Dai Ruyan let go of his hand and said.
Gong Yu, who had nothing to love in life, sighed and picked up the memorial at the side. The papers piled up day by day are really a headache.
The next day when Dai Ruyan left the palace, Gong Yu was alone guarding a pile of papers, when suddenly a carrier pigeon stopped by the window, Gong Yu stood up and unfolded the letter paper, with the expression of a resentful woman in the deep palace.
At dusk, when Zhezi barely finished coping, the sunset outside turned the whole sky into a golden yellow, and Gong Yu lay down on the recliner beside her very decadently, looking sideways out of the window with a dazed look in her eyes.
Dai Ruyan returned to the palace until the sky gradually darkened a lot. The candlesticks were not lit in the palace, so it will be a bit dark.
Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan who approached Dai Ruyan with eyes open and complained, "It's getting dark now."
Dai Ruyan sat aside, lightly pressed the corner of Gong Yu's mouth with his fingertips, and responded, "I've been on the road for a while, and I heard from the palace people that Xiao Jiu hasn't eaten yet?"
"I'm waiting for Ayan to come back." Gong Yu sat up and reached out to gently hold Dai Ruyan's hand.
"Silly, I just came back after having a banquet."
"A Yan must have only taken a sip of soup."
Gong Yu got up as she said, stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan and walked towards the outer hall, the outside was much brighter, Dai Ruyan asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?"
"I'm hungry, I want Ayan to accompany me to eat."
When the two of them were seated, the maids laid out the food, Gong Yu filled the soup and handed it to Dai Ruyan's palm, saying: "Today is Ayan's favorite fish soup."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu awkwardly, but didn't say anything, just sipped the soup with a wooden spoon.
Gong Yu's uncharacteristic enthusiasm, from serving tea to picking fishbone, Dai Ruyan asked hesitantly: "What happened today?"
"It's nothing, I just want Ayan to have a meal with me today."
"But in the past, Xiao Jiu was not so abnormal."
"Do I look weird like this?"
Dai Ruyan nodded in response: "Well, I always feel that Xiao Jiu seems to have done something wrong."
This is obviously a gesture of goodwill!
Gong Yu had no choice but to put the fish in Dai Ruyan's small dish and said, "I'm so obedient on weekdays, but Ayan thinks me so bad?"
"But Xiao Jiu wasn't so considerate in the past."
"I just wanted to do it, so I did it." Gong Yu didn't want to explain anymore, so she simply changed the subject and asked, "Is Second Sister Huang's wedding banquet lively today?"
Dai Ruyan ate the fish and responded, "Maybe they are acquaintances from the banquets in the past, there are no new faces."
Gong Yu picked up a meatball and ate it, seeing that Dai Ruyan's expression didn't change, so naturally she couldn't see anything from these words alone.
"Is the food delicious?"
"generally."
The topic stopped, Gong Yu couldn't think of anything to chat about, and Dai Ruyan didn't seem like someone who could speak up.
After the meal, Dai Ruyan got up to take a bath, she didn't intend to talk to Gong Yu at all.
In the middle of the night, Gong Yu lay sideways on the recliner, the moon outside was shining and Dai Ruyan sat quietly in front of the dressing table.
It's obviously in the same hall, but Gong Yu feels that it's far away.
After washing and washing, Dai Ruyan walked over in plain single clothes and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"I'll lie down again, the moon is really round today."
"Yes."
Gong Yu turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan, slightly pursed her lips and said, "If Ayan is tired, go to bed first."
Sitting aside, Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's warm palm with his fingertips and said softly, "The closer the end of the year, the more busy the court affairs are. If Xiao Jiu doesn't go to bed earlier, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"No, I took a nap this afternoon and am feeling refreshed right now."
Gong Yu looked at the moon outside, lightly held Dai Ruyan's hand with her fingertips and said, "Ah Yan's hand is a bit cold."
"It may be that the windows in this hall are open, and the wind outside is a bit cool."
Gong Yu sat up a little and said, "Then Ayan, why don't you go to bed first?"
"No hurry, I'll wait for Xiaojiu to go to sleep together."
"Then what if I'm going to sleep on this recliner tonight?"
Dai Ruyan bent her eyebrows, rubbed Gong Yu's earlobe with her fingertips and said, "Xiao Jiu is not angry, why should she sleep with me on the same bed?"
"Who says you're not angry?"
Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan and said, "I'm secretly angry."
It is normal to attend a wedding banquet, but on the way to meet Liu Huangxiong, this is not normal.
However, when Gong Yu heard the news, she was still a little dazed, that's not what Ming Ruyan said before she left the palace.
Hey, poor Gong Yu buried her head in reviewing the scriptures and then fell asleep.
Dai Ruyan didn't know all this, just looked at Gong Yu quietly and asked: "What's the matter?"
"When I left the palace this morning, I was very obedient and obedient. Why did you frown when you came back?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan full of sorrow, recalling Dai Ruyan's mention of seeing the second sister messing with other women yesterday, she couldn't help thinking with a little fear.
Could it be that Dai Ruyan actually felt that it was awkward for girls to be with girls from the bottom of his heart, so did he express such disgust?
Thinking like this, Gong Yu only felt that her little heart was hurting like being stabbed by a knife.
However, Gong Yu didn't know how to ask Dai Ruyan, after all, Dai Ruyan seemed to be somewhat resistant to more intimate matters.
"Little Nine?"
"Ah."
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's cheek lightly in his palm and said in a low voice: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Gong Yu replied hesitantly: "Yes."
"Then Xiaojiu tell me?"
"I don't know how to tell Ayan."
"There is always a reason for everything, whatever Xiaojiu thinks in his head, he will do whatever he wants with me."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a slight frown and said, "You are so helpful in my heart, I don't feel comfortable seeing you."
Gong Yu pursed her lips and replied hesitantly: "A Yan is dressed so well today, is it just to attend the banquet of the second emperor sister?"
"It's just clothes according to the queen's specifications. Is it possible that Xiaojiu is still unhappy because I went to the second emperor's sister's wedding banquet?"
"I mean, Ayan went to meet someone else today, right?"
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Jiu sent someone to follow me?"
"Ayan didn't give in, so that means he admitted to seeing brother Liuhuang, right?"
"Yes, I'm going to see Gong Liang."
The atmosphere was obviously not quite right, and Dai Ruyan seemed to be very concerned about Gong Yu sending people to follow him.
Seeing this, Gong Yu felt even more uncomfortable and said in a low voice: "In the past, Ayan always made people stare at me, why can't I let people follow Ayan?"
"It's different."
Dai Ruyan withdrew her hand, sat quietly at the side, and said with a serious expression: "I just want to take good care of Xiaojiu, but Xiaojiu is just suspicious of me?"
"Is that how Ayan thinks of me?"
"Is not it?"
Gong Yu sat up, only to see that Dai Ruyan obviously didn't realize that she had lied to him first.
The two refused to speak, Gong Yu sat cross-legged on the recliner in a loose robe, said with a low breath, "I didn't want people to follow Ayan, I just wanted them to secretly protect Ayan."
"But Ah Yan sees that Brother Six is planning something?"
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu, with a crisis hidden in the depths of his eyes, his lips tightened and he said: "Does Xiao Jiu think that I have an affair with Gong Liang?"
Gong Yu whispered: "No, I just don't like that A Yan doesn't tell me anything."
"If one day I lied to Ayan, but ended up meeting a certain man, wouldn't Ayan be angry?"
This question was not answered by Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan who was indifferent.
My heart was so cold that I felt like I had fallen into a hole in the ice.
The candlelight flickered slightly, Gong Yu seemed to be unable to see Dai Ruyan's face clearly, only to realize that her eye sockets were already moist.
Dai Ruyan sighed, stretched his arms around Gong Yu and whispered, "I'm sorry, Xiao Jiu, please don't cry?"
"I didn't cry."
"Recently, I have received news that after the imperial edict to pass on the throne to Xiao Jiu, the late emperor left another edict on the succession of the throne, and this edict is obviously aimed at suppressing Xiao Jiu." Dai Ruyan stopped at Gong Yu'er Beside whispered.
Gong Yu blinked her eyes, and said with her nose slightly blocked: "Then where is the edict from Brother Six?"
"Well, I guess so."
"Brother Liuhuang is using this to threaten Ayan?" Gong Yu asked seriously, keeping a distance.
Dai Ruyan scratched Gong Yu's nose lightly with her fingertips and said in a low voice, "How can he threaten me now?"
"Then... Why didn't Ayan tell me in advance?"
"The palace is not safe. It is best that as few people as possible know about this matter, the better."
Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan Weiliang's hand and said: "I thought Ayan ran away from home and never came back."
"Little fool." Dai Ruyan kissed Gong Yu's forehead and said, "How could I be willing to leave you?"
"It's just that I don't like being followed. If Xiao Jiu didn't say anything, the guards who followed me would be dead right now."
"Did Ayan find out?"
Dai Ruyan looked helplessly at Gong Yuying and said, "Yeah, I didn't believe it at first, Xiao Jiu would actually send someone to follow me?"
Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand and said, "Second Sister Huang has always had bad intentions towards Ayan. I sent people mainly to protect Ayan, and also to get to know Ayan better."
"Don't Xiaojiu know me well enough now?"
"not enough."
Dai Ruyan followed Gong Yu and sat beside the bed, Gong Yu responded, "Because I didn't know that A Yan didn't like getting closer."
"I always thought that Ayan was just shy, or didn't understand."
"Is Xiao Jiu unhappy because of this?"
"Rather than being unhappy, it's better to say it's resentment."
"Resentment?" Dai Ruyan looked puzzled at Gong Yu who was lying flat and asked, "Is it dissatisfaction?"
Gong Yu shook her head and replied, "No."
"what is that?"
"It's like the resentment that you want to get the piece of cake you want most, but she is in front of you all day, you can see it but you can't eat it."
Dai Ruyan gently rubbed Gong Yu's slightly frowned brows with her fingertips and said with a smile: "I'm not a piece of pastry, what does Xiao Jiu say?"
"Ayan understands."
Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan and said softly: "I can feel that Ayan's head can understand my desire, but Ayan's heart can't understand it."
"What did Xiao Jiu mean?"
"Ayan has always been afraid of the secret I know, but I already know it."
Dai Ruyan's expression froze for a moment, panic flashed in her quiet eyes, but she still looked calm.
"I don't understand what Xiao Jiu said." Dai Ruyan said in a low voice, avoiding Gong Yu's gaze.
Obviously, these words are also words to avoid Gong Yu.
Gong Yuqing took Dai Ruyan's hand and said: "No matter what Ayan looks like, I will like Ayan. I didn't say this to make Ayan happy."
"I will practice word by word until Ayan is no longer afraid, no longer avoids, and is willing to be honest with me. I think that then Ayan should not be so scruples about getting close to me. "
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, but the hand held by Gong Yu was trembling, Gong Yu guessed that Dai Ruyan was probably afraid.
The more people who try to protect themselves, the more vulnerable they will be.
Because that's why people want to be invincible.
And Dai Ruyan obviously thinks the same way, so she doesn't care about anything, as long as she is strong enough, she is willing to do anything.
For Dai Ruyan, the bloody storm in the court is just a game. She just wants those who despise her and hurt her to prove that Dai Ruyan is now so strong that she is invincible.
"I won't be afraid anymore." Dai Ruyan whispered while rubbing the ring on Gongyu's palm with her fingertips.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan's empty eyes and asked: "Then what if Ayan can't find me one day?"
Dai Ruyan frowned and looked back at Gong Yu, held Gong Yu's hand between his fingers and said, "I won't let Xiao Jiu leave me."
"Ayan, are you afraid?"
"It's worrying."
"No, it's actually fear."
"is it?"
If you think about problems rationally, sometimes there will be some deviations.
Gong Yu lay down and said, "It's late at night, go to sleep."
Dai Ruyan lay on the side slowly, fixed her eyes on Gong Yu and asked: "My secret will scare Xiao Jiu."
"I'm not afraid."
"Maybe Xiao Jiu will leave me if she knows all my secrets."
"I do not know."
Gong Yu patiently responded.
But he didn't wait for Dai Ruyan's response, his wrist was still tightly held in his palm.
Gong Yu leaned closer and kissed the next generation Ruyan's forehead, rubbed his cheek affectionately and said: "The only thing I'm afraid of is that Ayan doesn't like me, I'm not afraid of anything else except this."
Dai Ruyan stretched out his arms to imprison Gong Yu, and said in a low voice, "But I'm afraid..."
"What is Yan afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of myself."
Gong Yu asked in bewilderment, "Why?"
Dai Ruyan's heart was beating very fast, as if encountering something terrible.
"Ayan?" Gong Yu hurriedly pulled away, Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu dully and murmured: "It's not me..."
"what?"
"I didn't...kill the cat."
Gong Yu called Dai Ruyan over and over again, and Dai Ruyan seemed to be in an endless abyss, in great pain.
In the early morning, Dai Ruyan, who was nestled next to her, fell asleep peacefully, and Gong Yu watched over him tiredly, until the hand holding her sleeves loosened slightly, and Dai Ruyan slowly opened her eyes.
The panic and restlessness of last night were gone in those eyes, and there was only the same calmness as in the past.
"Little Nine..."
"Ah."
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly as if forgetting last night and said: "Why don't you go to court?"
"I'm waiting for you to wake up."
Gong Yu couldn't tell whether to make Dai Ruyan calm like this forever, or make Dai Ruyan panic like last night.
Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "My eyes are a little uncomfortable."
"Just let me rub it for you." Gong Yu's fingertips rested lightly beside Dai Ruyan's eyes.
The interior of the hall illuminated by the light from the window was bright, and Dai Ruyan curled his lips to enjoy Gong Yu's care.
When Gong Yu's hand moved away slightly, Dai Ruyan opened his eyes and grabbed Gong Yu's hand and said, "Knead again."
"But I'm going to court."
Dai Ruyan still held Gong Yu's hand and did not let go, looking at Gong Yu with clear eyes, her thin lips parted slightly: "I don't want to be separated from Xiao Jiu."
"There is no separation, I just go to the main hall for the morning court, and Ayan will be able to see me soon."
"Can I go to court with Xiaojiu?"
"I'm very tired in the morning, and I have to listen to a group of old ministers. A Yan should go to sleep again."
"No." Dai Ruyan pestered Gong Yu and said, "I want to be with Xiao Jiu."
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan unable to move, and gently brushed her fingertips across Dai Ruyan's cheek and said in a low voice: "But when Ayan goes to court, many people will say bad things."
"Whoever dares to speak ill of Xiaojiu, I will... have someone beat him up." Dai Ruyan said this with a smile on her face.
Although there was no killing intent, Gong Yu sat up helplessly, and Dai Ruyan leaned over, like a child.
"Will Xiao Jiu not want to be with me?"
"I am willing."
Gong Yu said helplessly: "I'll take Ayan to court together, but Ayan should be quiet, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiao Jiu."
Dai Ruyan seemed to have suddenly turned into a child who couldn't grow up, as if the panic last night had made her lose all composure, her mind
In order to fight against the trend of corruption, Gong Yu asked Qin Hua to specially revise the laws and regulations of the palace country, and the punishment for corruption was detailed to the standard of punishment for embezzlement and bribery.
For a while, there was a lot of turmoil in the court. After all, the new emperor of Gongguo had never ordered the beheading of a third-rank official.
There are eyes and ears everywhere in the capital, and the news spreads as soon as it is spread, and the emperor's feet become stricter, so naturally the counties and counties in the palace kingdom will be much more peaceful.
In the late autumn season, the autumn wind was slightly cool. When Gong Yu woke up one morning, she felt a little dizzy, but she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't think it would cause a low-grade fever and cough.
My head is dizzy all day long, my appetite is not as good as it used to be, and I can take medicine day by day.
Gong Yu couldn't help being a little upset, but because of her cough, Dai Ruyan was often woken up at night, and her heart was full of guilt.
In the early morning, Gong Yu clearly woke up, but she was so dizzy that she even had a headache and a burning pain in her throat.
After finally getting up slowly, the sweat on his cheeks was still cool, and Dai Ruyan beside him fell asleep peacefully.
The sky outside the window was still only hazy, Gong Yu got up and staggered to sit on a chair beside her, poured some warm tea and drank a few sips.
Outside the slightly open window, thick fog covered the imperial city, leaving only a hazy area.
Gong Yu suddenly coughed a few times, Dai Ruyan seemed to wake up, sat up slightly and asked, "Why is Xiao Jiu sitting there?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little thirsty."
Dai Ruyan got up and walked over, looking at Gong Yu's pale cheeks, wiped the sweat on Gong Yu's cheeks with his palm and said: "Don't go to the morning court today, let the imperial doctor take a good look at it."
"Okay." Gong Yu blinked and responded.
At night, Gong Yu's high fever persisted and she fell into a coma until the next evening. When Gong Yu slowly woke up, she was very tired.
"Does it feel better?" Dai Ruyan held the decoction in his hand and said in a low voice, "Well, I'm still a little dizzy."
"Last night, Xiao Jiu had a fever and was babbling nonsense."
"No wonder I feel a little uncomfortable in my throat." Gong Yu smiled and said with a slightly hoarse voice.
Dai Ruyan held the decoction and said: "Come on, drink some decoction, when the fever subsides, you will be fine."
Gong Yu frowned slightly and almost vomited out of her stomach. She finally finished the soup, and a candied fruit was stuffed in her mouth.
"Hey, this medicine is a bit bitter, so I prepared candied fruit."
"It's so sweet."
"Does Xiao Jiu like it?"
Dai Ruyan held a handkerchief in his hand and wiped Gong Yu's cheeks. Gong Yu fixed his eyes on the memorials on the low table beside him and said, "There must be a lot of memorials accumulated in the past two days."
"I reviewed the memorials accumulated in the past few days for Xiao Jiu."
"Ayan alone?"
"Well, Xiao Jiu is too busy, that's why he became sick from exhaustion."
Gong Yu looked at the light blue under Dai Ruyan's eyes, although she wore light makeup, she couldn't hide the tiredness in her eyes.
"Ayan must be exhausted, right?" Gong Yu rubbed his cheek against Dai Ruyan's palm and asked.
"No, it will be fine if Xiao Jiu wakes up." Dai Ruyan gently rubbed Gong Yu's cheek with his palm and said softly, "Don't lose weight, Xiao Jiu, otherwise I will definitely feel very distressed."
"It's okay, I'll grow fat once I eat it."
Dai Ruyan pursed her lips and smiled, stroking Gong Yu's brow with her fingertips and said, "But once Xiao Jiu gets sick, she becomes much thinner."
Gong Yu lightly held Dai Ruyan's hand, kissed the palm to comfort him: "No matter how thin I am, I'm still fatter than Ayan, and Ayan is so thin."
"Is it scary?"
"Yeah, I always worry that if there is a strong wind one day, Ayan will be blown down."
"Nonsense again." Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's cheek lightly with his fingertips and said, "I'm not like Xiao Jiu who is always sick and worrying."
Gong Yu buried half of her face in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Ayan, does this despise me?"
"I'm joking with Xiao Jiu."
"Hmph, Ah Yan just despises me."
Dai Ruyan held the quilt with her fingertips and said, "Little Jiu, I won't be able to see you if you hide under the quilt."
Gong Yu let go, and Dai Ruyan pulled off the quilt lightly, only to see Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's face in both hands, slightly lowered his head and kissed Gong Yu's pale cheek and said softly: "Xiao Jiu, hurry up!" It's just getting better."
The fingertips gently pinching the earlobe, caressing the fine soft hair beside Gong Yu's cheeks, Dai Ruyan's eyes are full of pity.
"Ayan, do I smell bad?"
After all, if you have a fever at night, you will sweat easily.
"No." Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's cheek affectionately, listened to Gong Yu's flustered heartbeat and said in a low voice: "Didn't Xiao Jiu realize that the clothes have been changed?"
Gong Yu raised her hand in a daze, looked at her clothes, looked at Dai Ruyan with reddish cheeks, and said falteringly, "I...now I found out."
"Are you shy?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a smile in his eyes, kneaded Gong Yu's earlobe with his fingertips and said softly: "Xiao Jiu is not like this usually."
"What's wrong with me on weekdays?"
Dai Ruyan pulled some distance away, looked down at Gong Yuying and said, "On weekdays, Xiao Jiu is always very enthusiastic, why is she blushing like an ordinary little girl?"
Gong Yu turned her head slightly to avoid Dai Ruyan's direct gaze and said: "Ayan can speak sarcastic words."
"If Ayan was ill, I would naturally take care of Ayan in every detail, but Ayan just acted like a normal person, as if she was just teasing me."
"Where did I tease Xiao Jiu?" Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's untied strands of fine hair with his fingertips, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Xiao Jiu's mind is not right, so it's easy..."
"Easy what?"
Dai Ruyan let go of his hand, pulled a little distance away and raised his eyebrows and said: "It's easy to think wildly."
Gong Yu stared blankly, stretched out his hand to lightly hold Dai Ruyan's hand that was hanging down at the side, and asked tentatively: "Hasn't Ayan ever thought about me?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's just... the same idea as me."
Dai Ruyan smiled, held Gong Yu's hand back and said in a low voice: "I don't know what is going on in Xiao Jiu's mind?"
This is definitely being teased.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan who was smiling like a spring breeze with a look of lovelessness on his face. Although it looks good, it is not edible, it really makes people's heart itch.
"Sure enough, Ah Yan actually doesn't understand the way of husband and wife at all."
"The way of husband and wife?"
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu, her eyebrows turned attractively, and the bead string next to her ear swayed slightly, making it very dazzling.
It seems that since getting married, Dai Ruyan's makeup and jewelry are much more refined than before.
Just being stared at like this, Gong Yu couldn't help but her heart fluttered violently, and she unconsciously pursed her lips tightly. No matter how you look at it, this small gesture is like a little girl.
Dai Ruyan on the side looked at Gong Yu's small movements with bent eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you continue talking?"
"Say... what are you talking about?" Gong Yu blinked her eyes and answered with a guilty conscience.
"My husband and wife relationship with Xiaojiu."
If it wasn't clear that Dai Ruyan really didn't understand these things, Gong Yu would have thought that Dai Ruyan was flirting with herself.
"Little Nine..."
"Well, what happened?"
Dai Ruyan laughed softly: "We should be like wives and wives."
"It's not impossible to be a wife and wife, anyway, you have to..."
"What do you want?"
Gong Yu felt more and more guilty when she was watched, she poked Dai Ruyan's palm with her fingertips and said, "It's...the bridal chamber."
Several months have passed, seeing that Dai Ruyan obviously has no idea, Gong Yu can only be cheeky.
However, Dai Ruyan was only slightly taken aback, and asked Gong Yu's hand tightly between his fingers, "Say it again, Xiao Jiu?"
what?
"I won't say it anymore." Gong Yu felt that Dai Ruyan must be teasing herself.
Gong Yu buried half of her face in the quilt, pretending to be asleep.
Dai Ruyan at the side poked Gong Yu's cheek with his fingertips and called softly, "Xiao Jiu?"
"Xiao Jiu, are you asleep?"
"Well, fell asleep."
Dai Ruyan raised his lips slightly, looked softly at Gong Yu and said softly, "I asked someone to cook fresh fish soup. It's getting dark now, and it's time to eat."
"Why don't we eat together and let Xiao Jiu sleep well?"
With a grunt growling in her stomach, Gong Yu raised her head and looked at Dai Ruyan with a sincere face, feeling inexplicably and heartbroken.
Did Dai Ruyan really have no desire to get closer?
The words have been so straightforward, it is obvious that Gong Yu has no way to say anything, who would have imagined how innocent and beautiful Gong Yu thought at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that getting married was a hurdle, but if you marry, you can marry into the family. On behalf of such a good wife as Ruyan, Gong Yu can only make good offerings.
Gong Yu put on thick clothes, washed up, and sat down with her peers like Yan Yan.
There were bright lights burning in the hall, Gong Yu reached out to take the soup bowl from Dai Ruyan, sipped it and sighed: "This soup is really delicious."
"Your body hasn't recovered yet, so you can't eat too greasy food. I'm worried that Xiao Jiu won't get used to it."
"No, it tastes good."
Most of the days of convalescence, Gong Yu's little life is quite moist.
Dai Ruyan reviewed the memorials very quickly, sometimes even Gong Yu couldn't keep up, and two people always did things much faster than one.
But even so, Gong Yu still tried to move as many memorials for herself, saving Dai Ruyan from being too tired.
Nesting in the palace all day, Gong Yu would take a nap after reviewing the memorials every day, and Dai Ruyan stayed by the side most of the time.
Even though Gong Yuming showed careful thinking, Dai Ruyan just had no idea, and the beauty trick didn't work very well at first glance, not to mention it was late autumn, and if she wore a small skirt, she might be criticized by Dai Ruyan.
When Qin Hua came to discuss state affairs, Dai Ruyan was teasing the little rabbit, and Gong Yu ate the roasted sweet potato and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Qin?"
"The minister is here to submit a list of the amount of property that corrupt officials have put into the treasury."
A list was clearly presented in the early court, so Qin Hua made a special trip here at this time?
Gong Yu put down the half-eaten roasted sweet potato, stretched out his hand to unfold the list, and saw that it was a list of officials who secretly manipulated the imperial examinations in previous years.
And the top officials are also the Prime Minister and the Taifu. This list is clearly divided. Gong Yu looked at it and asked: "Mr. Qin, is this list verifiable?"
"It's just a preliminary estimate. Wait for Wei Chen to ask someone to check carefully."
With a little fear, Qin Hua glanced at Dai Ruyan who was aside.
The relationship network above covered almost half of the officials in the court. No wonder Gong Yu always felt that these officials were closely connected. Whenever a decision was made, the two old foxes did not respond, but a group of people underneath had already started roaring.
Gong Yuwei congee frowned and said, "Let's investigate this matter secretly for the time being."
"Yes."
After Qin Hua left, Gong Yu unfolded the list, broke off the roasted sweet potato and ate it, and suddenly saw Chu Fei looking for the list.
This Chu Feixun didn't have much trouble in the hall, and he looked quite honest, so the second princess had chosen a good choice.
A group of people were killed or injured during the imperial examination last year, and a group of people were replaced here.
If she is always controlled by this group of people, it may be difficult for Gong Yu to arrange her own power in the government.
"What is Xiao Jiu thinking so preoccupied with?"
"I'm thinking about the reason for the casualties of officials in the imperial examination last year. It seems that someone deliberately leaked the answers to the imperial examination."
Dai Ruyan sat on the side holding the little rabbit, glanced at the list, and said darkly: "The imperial examination is held every three years, and the next imperial examination will have to wait for two years. How can Xiao Jiu investigate this matter now?"
Gong Yu turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan, only to see Dai Ruyan's expression was as usual, his eyes were clear and bright, apparently he didn't care about this matter.
However, there are various indications that Dai Ruyan is the person who is most likely to do the behind-the-scenes thing.
The case of leaking questions caused suspicion and suspicion within the court party. Now that I think about it, it seems that this case happened after Dai Ruyan said that he didn't want to leave the capital because it was interesting.
Perhaps Dai Ruyan's purpose at that time was to cause confusion among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Gong Yu thought so, lowered her head and bit the roasted sweet potato, Dai Ruyan put down the rabbit in her hand, poured tea and said, "I'm going out of the palace tomorrow."
"Out of the palace?"
"What does Ayan want to do?"
Dai Ruyan drank tea and said, "The second princess's wedding banquet, Xiao Jiu is busy with government affairs, but as a queen, she still has to attend some affairs."
"I also need to go."
"Xiao Jiu, let's see how many papers are still unapproved?"
Gong Yu looked closely at Dai Ruyan and said, "When will Ayan come back?"
"Return to the palace at about dusk."
"so late?"
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly and said, "Wedding banquets are often lively until late at night, so it's too late for me to come back at dusk?"
"I don't want Ayan to go." Gong Yu leaned against Dai Ruyan, pulled Dai Ruyan's drooping sleeve shamelessly and said in a low voice: "The second sister is a wolf, if I don't guard, if Ayan What to do if you are bullied?"
Dai Ruyan's ears were pulled lightly, so Gong Yu could only sit obediently.
"Does Xiao Jiu think that I look easy to bully?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a smile between his eyes and brows.
amount……
It seems that Gong Yu has never seen anyone who can bully Dai Ruyan.
Gong Yu blinked and replied innocently: "I'm not worried about Ayan."
When Gong Yu said these nasty words, she felt goosebumps all over the floor.
Dai Ruyan scratched Gong Yu's nose lightly with her fingertips and said, "What exactly do you want?"
"Second Sister Huang almost made me sink into the water last time, why did Ah Yan still attend her wedding banquet?"
"Chu Fei's search for an official position is small, but her father is the old master Chu Fei who is as famous as General Song. What do you think your second sister wants to do?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan blankly and said, "Why don't I know about this?"
"Because Chu Fei is old and has long since left the court, and Chu Feixun is not a son-in-law, so he left the mansion in a fit of anger and took part in the imperial examination to get a fifth-rank Beijing official. Few people in the court know his details."
Dai Ruyan took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Second Sister Huang is really too persistent."
Gong Yu couldn't help sighing, looked at Dai Ruyan's exquisite makeup and said in a low voice: "Before our wedding banquet, the second sister Huang secretly made a lot of troubles, and she really has a deep love for Ayan."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Dai Ruyan put down the teacup and asked, "Could Xiao Jiu still doubt me?"
"Nope."
"I'm wondering when did A Yan know that the second emperor sister likes women?"
Dai Ruyan frowned slightly as if remembering something bad, and said with a serious expression, "What do Xiao Jiu ask these dirty things for?"
Gong Yu was a little surprised by this reaction, she looked closely at Dai Ruyan and said, "Ah Yan is angry?"
"Could it be that Second Sister Huang did something bad to A Yan?"
Gong Yu asked with a serious face.
"No, I just think your second sister is dirty."
Dai Ruyan said so, gently caressed Gong Yu's cheek with his palm and said: "Xiao Jiu is different from Second Huangjie, Xiao Jiu is very clean."
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in confusion and asked, "What does dirty mean?"
"Don't ask any more." Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips, pecked lightly, and then distanced herself.
Although no conclusive evidence was obtained, Gong Yu could clearly feel the obvious disgust in Dai Ruyan's eyes.
One can't help guessing that the second imperial sister's reputation in the capital is indeed comparable to that of Gong Qingyan who openly raises a young son.
Could it be that the second imperial sister wanted to force Dai Ruyan to die?
It seems impossible, if this is the case, the Second Huangjie will not be able to live until now.
From time to time, Gong Yu glanced at Dai Ruyan at the side, thinking about the dirty words that Dai Ruyan said in her head.
Maybe it means that the second princess has something to do with the female relatives raised in the mansion?
No matter how he guessed, Gong Yu didn't have the guts to ask again, Dai Ruyan put his hand on the back of Gong Yu's hand and said: "Don't let Xiao Jiu think about it."
"I don't want to either, but as long as there is something about Ayan, my mind seems to be involuntary, and I automatically think about Ayan."
Gong Yu pursed her lips tightly, and answered her words very seriously.
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu and said in a low voice, "I really want to know for a long time?"
Gong Yu nodded in response: "Yes."
"Actually, it's just that your second sister Huang was hanging out with the female relatives in her mansion when she was drunk. I ran into it by accident."
"and then?"
"Where is there anything else?" Dai Ruyan said with a helpless Gong Yu, "I really hated it so I left the meeting halfway."
Gong Yu looked into Dai Ruyan's eyes, and vaguely felt that Dai Ruyan still had a short story to tell.
Dai Ruyan caressed Gong Yu's brow lightly and said seriously: "Xiao Jiu is not allowed to imitate your Second Sister Huang, otherwise..."
"How about otherwise?"
Gong Yu smiled mischievously.
"Then I won't forgive Xiao Jiu."
"I do not know."
Dai Ruyan responded with a smile: "I know, Xiao Jiu can't."
Gong Yu has always felt that Dai Ruyan is ignorant of love, but she didn't expect that it was not ignorance, but disgust. It really couldn't be worse than this.
"Okay, if you continue to ask, it will take more than half a day today, and the papers in front of you haven't been approved yet." Dai Ruyan let go of his hand and said.
Gong Yu, who had nothing to love in life, sighed and picked up the memorial at the side. The papers piled up day by day are really a headache.
The next day when Dai Ruyan left the palace, Gong Yu was alone guarding a pile of papers, when suddenly a carrier pigeon stopped by the window, Gong Yu stood up and unfolded the letter paper, with the expression of a resentful woman in the deep palace.
At dusk, when Zhezi barely finished coping, the sunset outside turned the whole sky into a golden yellow, and Gong Yu lay down on the recliner beside her very decadently, looking sideways out of the window with a dazed look in her eyes.
Dai Ruyan returned to the palace until the sky gradually darkened a lot. The candlesticks were not lit in the palace, so it will be a bit dark.
Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan who approached Dai Ruyan with eyes open and complained, "It's getting dark now."
Dai Ruyan sat aside, lightly pressed the corner of Gong Yu's mouth with his fingertips, and responded, "I've been on the road for a while, and I heard from the palace people that Xiao Jiu hasn't eaten yet?"
"I'm waiting for Ayan to come back." Gong Yu sat up and reached out to gently hold Dai Ruyan's hand.
"Silly, I just came back after having a banquet."
"A Yan must have only taken a sip of soup."
Gong Yu got up as she said, stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan and walked towards the outer hall, the outside was much brighter, Dai Ruyan asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?"
"I'm hungry, I want Ayan to accompany me to eat."
When the two of them were seated, the maids laid out the food, Gong Yu filled the soup and handed it to Dai Ruyan's palm, saying: "Today is Ayan's favorite fish soup."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu awkwardly, but didn't say anything, just sipped the soup with a wooden spoon.
Gong Yu's uncharacteristic enthusiasm, from serving tea to picking fishbone, Dai Ruyan asked hesitantly: "What happened today?"
"It's nothing, I just want Ayan to have a meal with me today."
"But in the past, Xiao Jiu was not so abnormal."
"Do I look weird like this?"
Dai Ruyan nodded in response: "Well, I always feel that Xiao Jiu seems to have done something wrong."
This is obviously a gesture of goodwill!
Gong Yu had no choice but to put the fish in Dai Ruyan's small dish and said, "I'm so obedient on weekdays, but Ayan thinks me so bad?"
"But Xiao Jiu wasn't so considerate in the past."
"I just wanted to do it, so I did it." Gong Yu didn't want to explain anymore, so she simply changed the subject and asked, "Is Second Sister Huang's wedding banquet lively today?"
Dai Ruyan ate the fish and responded, "Maybe they are acquaintances from the banquets in the past, there are no new faces."
Gong Yu picked up a meatball and ate it, seeing that Dai Ruyan's expression didn't change, so naturally she couldn't see anything from these words alone.
"Is the food delicious?"
"generally."
The topic stopped, Gong Yu couldn't think of anything to chat about, and Dai Ruyan didn't seem like someone who could speak up.
After the meal, Dai Ruyan got up to take a bath, she didn't intend to talk to Gong Yu at all.
In the middle of the night, Gong Yu lay sideways on the recliner, the moon outside was shining and Dai Ruyan sat quietly in front of the dressing table.
It's obviously in the same hall, but Gong Yu feels that it's far away.
After washing and washing, Dai Ruyan walked over in plain single clothes and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"I'll lie down again, the moon is really round today."
"Yes."
Gong Yu turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan, slightly pursed her lips and said, "If Ayan is tired, go to bed first."
Sitting aside, Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's warm palm with his fingertips and said softly, "The closer the end of the year, the more busy the court affairs are. If Xiao Jiu doesn't go to bed earlier, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"No, I took a nap this afternoon and am feeling refreshed right now."
Gong Yu looked at the moon outside, lightly held Dai Ruyan's hand with her fingertips and said, "Ah Yan's hand is a bit cold."
"It may be that the windows in this hall are open, and the wind outside is a bit cool."
Gong Yu sat up a little and said, "Then Ayan, why don't you go to bed first?"
"No hurry, I'll wait for Xiaojiu to go to sleep together."
"Then what if I'm going to sleep on this recliner tonight?"
Dai Ruyan bent her eyebrows, rubbed Gong Yu's earlobe with her fingertips and said, "Xiao Jiu is not angry, why should she sleep with me on the same bed?"
"Who says you're not angry?"
Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan and said, "I'm secretly angry."
It is normal to attend a wedding banquet, but on the way to meet Liu Huangxiong, this is not normal.
However, when Gong Yu heard the news, she was still a little dazed, that's not what Ming Ruyan said before she left the palace.
Hey, poor Gong Yu buried her head in reviewing the scriptures and then fell asleep.
Dai Ruyan didn't know all this, just looked at Gong Yu quietly and asked: "What's the matter?"
"When I left the palace this morning, I was very obedient and obedient. Why did you frown when you came back?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan full of sorrow, recalling Dai Ruyan's mention of seeing the second sister messing with other women yesterday, she couldn't help thinking with a little fear.
Could it be that Dai Ruyan actually felt that it was awkward for girls to be with girls from the bottom of his heart, so did he express such disgust?
Thinking like this, Gong Yu only felt that her little heart was hurting like being stabbed by a knife.
However, Gong Yu didn't know how to ask Dai Ruyan, after all, Dai Ruyan seemed to be somewhat resistant to more intimate matters.
"Little Nine?"
"Ah."
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's cheek lightly in his palm and said in a low voice: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Gong Yu replied hesitantly: "Yes."
"Then Xiaojiu tell me?"
"I don't know how to tell Ayan."
"There is always a reason for everything, whatever Xiaojiu thinks in his head, he will do whatever he wants with me."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a slight frown and said, "You are so helpful in my heart, I don't feel comfortable seeing you."
Gong Yu pursed her lips and replied hesitantly: "A Yan is dressed so well today, is it just to attend the banquet of the second emperor sister?"
"It's just clothes according to the queen's specifications. Is it possible that Xiaojiu is still unhappy because I went to the second emperor's sister's wedding banquet?"
"I mean, Ayan went to meet someone else today, right?"
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Jiu sent someone to follow me?"
"Ayan didn't give in, so that means he admitted to seeing brother Liuhuang, right?"
"Yes, I'm going to see Gong Liang."
The atmosphere was obviously not quite right, and Dai Ruyan seemed to be very concerned about Gong Yu sending people to follow him.
Seeing this, Gong Yu felt even more uncomfortable and said in a low voice: "In the past, Ayan always made people stare at me, why can't I let people follow Ayan?"
"It's different."
Dai Ruyan withdrew her hand, sat quietly at the side, and said with a serious expression: "I just want to take good care of Xiaojiu, but Xiaojiu is just suspicious of me?"
"Is that how Ayan thinks of me?"
"Is not it?"
Gong Yu sat up, only to see that Dai Ruyan obviously didn't realize that she had lied to him first.
The two refused to speak, Gong Yu sat cross-legged on the recliner in a loose robe, said with a low breath, "I didn't want people to follow Ayan, I just wanted them to secretly protect Ayan."
"But Ah Yan sees that Brother Six is planning something?"
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu, with a crisis hidden in the depths of his eyes, his lips tightened and he said: "Does Xiao Jiu think that I have an affair with Gong Liang?"
Gong Yu whispered: "No, I just don't like that A Yan doesn't tell me anything."
"If one day I lied to Ayan, but ended up meeting a certain man, wouldn't Ayan be angry?"
This question was not answered by Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan who was indifferent.
My heart was so cold that I felt like I had fallen into a hole in the ice.
The candlelight flickered slightly, Gong Yu seemed to be unable to see Dai Ruyan's face clearly, only to realize that her eye sockets were already moist.
Dai Ruyan sighed, stretched his arms around Gong Yu and whispered, "I'm sorry, Xiao Jiu, please don't cry?"
"I didn't cry."
"Recently, I have received news that after the imperial edict to pass on the throne to Xiao Jiu, the late emperor left another edict on the succession of the throne, and this edict is obviously aimed at suppressing Xiao Jiu." Dai Ruyan stopped at Gong Yu'er Beside whispered.
Gong Yu blinked her eyes, and said with her nose slightly blocked: "Then where is the edict from Brother Six?"
"Well, I guess so."
"Brother Liuhuang is using this to threaten Ayan?" Gong Yu asked seriously, keeping a distance.
Dai Ruyan scratched Gong Yu's nose lightly with her fingertips and said in a low voice, "How can he threaten me now?"
"Then... Why didn't Ayan tell me in advance?"
"The palace is not safe. It is best that as few people as possible know about this matter, the better."
Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan Weiliang's hand and said: "I thought Ayan ran away from home and never came back."
"Little fool." Dai Ruyan kissed Gong Yu's forehead and said, "How could I be willing to leave you?"
"It's just that I don't like being followed. If Xiao Jiu didn't say anything, the guards who followed me would be dead right now."
"Did Ayan find out?"
Dai Ruyan looked helplessly at Gong Yuying and said, "Yeah, I didn't believe it at first, Xiao Jiu would actually send someone to follow me?"
Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand and said, "Second Sister Huang has always had bad intentions towards Ayan. I sent people mainly to protect Ayan, and also to get to know Ayan better."
"Don't Xiaojiu know me well enough now?"
"not enough."
Dai Ruyan followed Gong Yu and sat beside the bed, Gong Yu responded, "Because I didn't know that A Yan didn't like getting closer."
"I always thought that Ayan was just shy, or didn't understand."
"Is Xiao Jiu unhappy because of this?"
"Rather than being unhappy, it's better to say it's resentment."
"Resentment?" Dai Ruyan looked puzzled at Gong Yu who was lying flat and asked, "Is it dissatisfaction?"
Gong Yu shook her head and replied, "No."
"what is that?"
"It's like the resentment that you want to get the piece of cake you want most, but she is in front of you all day, you can see it but you can't eat it."
Dai Ruyan gently rubbed Gong Yu's slightly frowned brows with her fingertips and said with a smile: "I'm not a piece of pastry, what does Xiao Jiu say?"
"Ayan understands."
Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan and said softly: "I can feel that Ayan's head can understand my desire, but Ayan's heart can't understand it."
"What did Xiao Jiu mean?"
"Ayan has always been afraid of the secret I know, but I already know it."
Dai Ruyan's expression froze for a moment, panic flashed in her quiet eyes, but she still looked calm.
"I don't understand what Xiao Jiu said." Dai Ruyan said in a low voice, avoiding Gong Yu's gaze.
Obviously, these words are also words to avoid Gong Yu.
Gong Yuqing took Dai Ruyan's hand and said: "No matter what Ayan looks like, I will like Ayan. I didn't say this to make Ayan happy."
"I will practice word by word until Ayan is no longer afraid, no longer avoids, and is willing to be honest with me. I think that then Ayan should not be so scruples about getting close to me. "
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, but the hand held by Gong Yu was trembling, Gong Yu guessed that Dai Ruyan was probably afraid.
The more people who try to protect themselves, the more vulnerable they will be.
Because that's why people want to be invincible.
And Dai Ruyan obviously thinks the same way, so she doesn't care about anything, as long as she is strong enough, she is willing to do anything.
For Dai Ruyan, the bloody storm in the court is just a game. She just wants those who despise her and hurt her to prove that Dai Ruyan is now so strong that she is invincible.
"I won't be afraid anymore." Dai Ruyan whispered while rubbing the ring on Gongyu's palm with her fingertips.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan's empty eyes and asked: "Then what if Ayan can't find me one day?"
Dai Ruyan frowned and looked back at Gong Yu, held Gong Yu's hand between his fingers and said, "I won't let Xiao Jiu leave me."
"Ayan, are you afraid?"
"It's worrying."
"No, it's actually fear."
"is it?"
If you think about problems rationally, sometimes there will be some deviations.
Gong Yu lay down and said, "It's late at night, go to sleep."
Dai Ruyan lay on the side slowly, fixed her eyes on Gong Yu and asked: "My secret will scare Xiao Jiu."
"I'm not afraid."
"Maybe Xiao Jiu will leave me if she knows all my secrets."
"I do not know."
Gong Yu patiently responded.
But he didn't wait for Dai Ruyan's response, his wrist was still tightly held in his palm.
Gong Yu leaned closer and kissed the next generation Ruyan's forehead, rubbed his cheek affectionately and said: "The only thing I'm afraid of is that Ayan doesn't like me, I'm not afraid of anything else except this."
Dai Ruyan stretched out his arms to imprison Gong Yu, and said in a low voice, "But I'm afraid..."
"What is Yan afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of myself."
Gong Yu asked in bewilderment, "Why?"
Dai Ruyan's heart was beating very fast, as if encountering something terrible.
"Ayan?" Gong Yu hurriedly pulled away, Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu dully and murmured: "It's not me..."
"what?"
"I didn't...kill the cat."
Gong Yu called Dai Ruyan over and over again, and Dai Ruyan seemed to be in an endless abyss, in great pain.
In the early morning, Dai Ruyan, who was nestled next to her, fell asleep peacefully, and Gong Yu watched over him tiredly, until the hand holding her sleeves loosened slightly, and Dai Ruyan slowly opened her eyes.
The panic and restlessness of last night were gone in those eyes, and there was only the same calmness as in the past.
"Little Nine..."
"Ah."
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly as if forgetting last night and said: "Why don't you go to court?"
"I'm waiting for you to wake up."
Gong Yu couldn't tell whether to make Dai Ruyan calm like this forever, or make Dai Ruyan panic like last night.
Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "My eyes are a little uncomfortable."
"Just let me rub it for you." Gong Yu's fingertips rested lightly beside Dai Ruyan's eyes.
The interior of the hall illuminated by the light from the window was bright, and Dai Ruyan curled his lips to enjoy Gong Yu's care.
When Gong Yu's hand moved away slightly, Dai Ruyan opened his eyes and grabbed Gong Yu's hand and said, "Knead again."
"But I'm going to court."
Dai Ruyan still held Gong Yu's hand and did not let go, looking at Gong Yu with clear eyes, her thin lips parted slightly: "I don't want to be separated from Xiao Jiu."
"There is no separation, I just go to the main hall for the morning court, and Ayan will be able to see me soon."
"Can I go to court with Xiaojiu?"
"I'm very tired in the morning, and I have to listen to a group of old ministers. A Yan should go to sleep again."
"No." Dai Ruyan pestered Gong Yu and said, "I want to be with Xiao Jiu."
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan unable to move, and gently brushed her fingertips across Dai Ruyan's cheek and said in a low voice: "But when Ayan goes to court, many people will say bad things."
"Whoever dares to speak ill of Xiaojiu, I will... have someone beat him up." Dai Ruyan said this with a smile on her face.
Although there was no killing intent, Gong Yu sat up helplessly, and Dai Ruyan leaned over, like a child.
"Will Xiao Jiu not want to be with me?"
"I am willing."
Gong Yu said helplessly: "I'll take Ayan to court together, but Ayan should be quiet, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiao Jiu."
Dai Ruyan seemed to have suddenly turned into a child who couldn't grow up, as if the panic last night had made her lose all composure, her mind
