In the past, Gong Yu felt that Dai Ruyan's mother's words and deeds seemed to be wearing a mask, as if she was pretending, and as if she had been trained.

Looking at Dai Ruyan who was so on guard, she was even more sure that Mrs. Qing Ji was sent to Changzhou to raise her baby. In fact, it was because the Dai family discovered that Mrs. Qing Ji was abnormal, in order to save the face of the Dai clan.

In this ancient feudal country with a strict hierarchy, people even believed in ghosts and gods, so Buddhist temples were prevalent in the palace.

Mentally abnormal people are nothing more than evil spirits to the ignorant and ignorant people of the Palace Kingdom. Gong Yu has read some records in Palace Kingdom books. Most people treat such people as being possessed by evil spirits, usually Sentenced to death by burning at the stake, this may be the reason why Dai Ruyan kept silent.

Gong Yu lightly tugged on the chain, held Dai Ruyan's icy hand, saw the sword hanging from the other side, and was about to reach out to grab it.

Dai Ruyan suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Gong Yu, as if looking for something in his eyes, he called out in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Jiu?"

"I am here."

"Where did you go just now?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu blankly, with a sad and lonely expression, as if he had been abandoned.

Gong Yu stretched out her arms distressedly, and Dai Ruyan leaned over lightly, but the sword in her hand did not put down.

The hall was already brightly lit, Gong Yu comforted Dai Ruyan and said in a low voice: "I just saw Ayan's sister."

"Sister, she..." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with distracted eyes and said after a pause, "It's not here anymore."

"Ayan?"

Dai Ruyan seemed to be immersed in painful thoughts and couldn't extricate herself, Gong Yu gently stroked Dai Ruyan's cheek with her palm and called out: "Ayan, wake up!"

The sword that Dai Ruyan was holding tightly fell to the side, and Dai Ruyan's hot tears slid down to Gong Yu's palm, as if he wanted to burn Gong Yu's hand.

Gong Yu slightly lowered her head and kissed the corners of her parents Ruyan's red and swollen eyes to comfort her and said, "Ah Yan, be good, don't cry."

"Little Nine..."

"I am here."

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in confusion and asked, "Are you Xiao Jiu?"

"I am." Gong Yu hurriedly shook the chain and said, "Listen, I'm wearing a chain."

"Yes." The anxiety in Dai Ruyan's eyes dissipated, he held the chain tightly in his hands, and smiled with the corners of his mouth up.

Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, inspected the hall and said, "Come on, Xiao Jiu will take Ayan to rest, okay?"

"Ah."

The two lay down together, Dai Ruyan snuggled up to Gong Yu like a child, holding Gong Yu's hand tightly, as if mentally tense, staring straight at Gong Yu.

"To rest, you have to close your eyes." Gong Yu lightly covered Dai Ruyan's eyes with her palm.

Dai Ruyan suddenly grabbed Gong Yu's hand in fear, his palm was covered with cold sweat, and said with thin lips, "Mother...don't kill me..."

Gong Yu stretched out her hand to hug Dai Ruyan, comfortingly said: "Good boy, no one will hurt Ayan, Xiao Jiu will definitely protect Ayan well."

But even so, Ruyan still didn't relax, until maybe she was too tired, and then she slowly fell asleep.

There was silence in the hall, Gong Yu didn't dare to let go, afraid that Dai Ruyan, who was in a light sleep, would be woken up.

Today's morning morning palace jade was absent.

Until noon, Gong Yu couldn't bear to close her eyes tiredly, and when she woke up, Dai Ruyan beside her was gone!

Panicked, Gong Yu hurriedly got up, only to find that the hall was dark, and Gong Yu couldn't see anything clearly.

"Ayan?"

The voice echoed in the hall, but there was no response.

Gong Yu was holding the chain in his hand, just now he was looking for Dai Ruyan who was curled up in the corner of the hall, as he approached step by step, the sound of the chain became clearer.

Dai Ruyan at the other end suddenly said: "Don't come over!"

"Why?" Gong Yu paused and asked.

"I am afraid."

Gong Yu approached carefully, trying to make as little noise as possible, and Dai Ruyan, who was nestled in the corner, seemed to be aware of it and muttered loudly: "You are not allowed to come here!"

"I'm Xiaojiu."

The other side suddenly became quiet, and Gong Yu quickly walked towards Dai Ruyan, only to realize that Dai Ruyan was still covered with a layer of tulle, and was still holding the sword in his hand.

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in a daze, and called out aggrievedly: "Xiao Jiu..."

Gong Yu stretched out his arms to lightly encircle Dai Ruyan, and Dai Ruyan approached like a child.

Gently caressing Dai Ruyan's warm face with his palm, Gong Yu just felt relieved, lightly handed Dai Ruyan's side face with his forehead and said: "I woke up and couldn't find Ayan, it scared me to death."

Dai Ruyan, who was in her arms, suddenly raised her head slightly and replied seriously: "Xiao Jiu admitted the wrong person, I'm not my sister."

"Then... are you my sister?"

"Yeah." Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's cheek like a child, and said to Gong Yu intimately, "I like Xiao Jiu very much too."

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan hesitantly, brushed her fingertips lightly across Dai Ruyan's side face and replied, "Why are you hiding here alone?"

"Shh!"

Dai Ruyan leaned close, stretched out his hand to cover the two of them, held the sword in his hand and said seriously: "Sister is looking for us."

"Then can you put down the sword, it's easy to hurt yourself."

"no."

"why?"

The people beside him suddenly became quiet, Gong Yu caressed Dai Ruyan's cheek and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Sister will kill Ah Yu."

Gong Yu couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Kill me?"

The person in his arms suddenly laughed, leaned close to Gong Yu's ear and said, "No, Ayu is my name."

No wonder Ruyan didn't want to be called Ayu back then, but until now she's only called Xiaojiu.

Dai Ruyan leaned against Gong Yu lightly, looked at the dark interior of the hall with vigilance and said: "Sister is looking for me."

"Why is she looking for you?"

"because……"

The words stopped suddenly, Dai Ruyan leaned back against Gong Yu nervously, and whispered: "Sister is going to kill me."

Gong Yu listened in puzzlement, stretched her arms and lightly wrapped Dai Ruyan beside her and asked, "Aren't you hiding from your mother?"

"Mother?" Dai Ruyan seemed to be smiling, but because the surroundings were too dark, Gong Yu couldn't see Dai Ruyan's expression clearly, so she had to rely on guesswork.

Dai Ruyan leaned closer and kissed Gongyu on the cheek and asked, "Will Xiaojiu protect me?"

"Yes, I will."

"My mother is just sick. Although sometimes it is terrible, sometimes she is very kind to me. The thing I fear most is my grandmother."

Gong Yu froze for a moment, put her palm close to Dai Ruyan's cheek and said, "Why are you afraid of grandma?"

"Grandmother is terrible." Dai Ruyan grasped Gong Yu's arm and said in a low voice as if she was scared, "My aunt and mother are often punished."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiao Jiu is the emperor now, Xiao Jiu can protect you."

"Well, but I still don't want Xiao Jiu to see grandma."

"Okay, I won't go."

Gong Yu tightened her arms, narrowed the distance with Dai Ruyan and said in a low voice: "It's cold here, let's go back to the bed, shall we?"

"Sister, they will catch me."

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you, okay?"

But Dai Ruyan still didn't dare, tightly pulled Gong Yu's hanging sleeves and said in a low voice: "No, I dare not appear in front of my sister."

"What did you do to make your sisters angry?"

"I don't know..." Dai Ruyan lowered her voice a lot, as if she was hiding something.

Gong Yu stretched her arms and forcibly picked Dai Ruyan up from the cold wooden board, Dai Ruyan pulled Gong Yu's robe nervously and said: "Where are we going?"

"take a break."

After Dai Ruyan was settled, Gong Yu lay down carefully on one side, Dai Ruyan shrank nervously beside her, covering herself tightly with a thin quilt.

"Ayan?"

"My name is not Ayan."

Gong Yu leaned closer and said, "I'm sorry, my name was wrong."

"It's okay, I forgive Xiao Jiu."

Dai Ruyan approached, rubbed Gong Yu's cheek affectionately, held Gong Yu's arm like a child and said: "We can't talk anymore, or my sister will find out."

"it is good."

This night, Ruyan slept relatively peacefully, and Gong Yu stayed there until the early morning, when the window gradually lit up.

The whole arm seemed to be broken, and Gong Yu didn't dare to hurt, so she could only helplessly look at the sleeping Dai Ruyan.

When Dai Ruyan woke up, he looked at Gong Yu with bright eyes, and Gong Yu knew that the real A Yan hadn't come back yet.

"Little Nine..."

"I am here."

Dai Ruyan raised her head slightly, looked inside the hall, then said with a reassuring smile, "It's so cold outside."

Gong Yu tightened her arms and responded: "Yes, maybe it will snow soon."

"snow?"

"Well, it's going to be very white on the outside."

"I know." Dai Ruyan replied with blinking eyes: "I saw it from the window of the small attic, but it disappeared when I stretched out my hand."

"Yes, it will melt into water.

Gong Yu lightly rolled up Dai Ruyan's broken hair with her fingertips and asked, "I'm going to court later, do you want to go with me?"

"I'm going."

"Okay, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense."

Dai Ruyan nodded and smiled with eyebrows bent: "I know, just like last time, no talking, no laughing, play with wooden figures."

"Well, Ayu is really good."

After putting on his robes, Gong Yu led Dai Ruyan into the hall together, or Dai Ruyan hadn't been to court for a while, the minister would be very surprised to see him suddenly.

Discussing political affairs as usual, Qin Hua suddenly reported on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Princess of Sanggu Kingdom died yesterday."

"If you don't give Sang Guoguo a proper explanation for this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to appease you."

Gong Yu hesitantly clenched Dai Ruyan's hand and replied: "This matter must be strictly investigated."

"Your Majesty has something to say." The Tai Tuo stepped forward suddenly and said, "Nowadays, rumors are spreading inside and outside the capital that the empress breeds Gu to kill people. This matter should also be investigated strictly."

"Nonsense!" Gong Yu patted the table and scolded angrily: "Whoever dares to talk about the queen of a country is really spreading rumors and causing trouble. Someone ordered to post a notice. If any rioters talk about this, they will be arrested and imprisoned immediately, and sealed up." A teahouse and restaurant where people gather to make trouble!"

Or it was rare for Gong Yu to make such an arbitrary decision, even the Taifu didn't expect it, so he didn't say anything else immediately.

After the imperial court, Gong Yu summoned the imperial guards to strictly guard the palace, and thoroughly investigated the suspicious palace people in the palace, and immediately killed them if they were found to be true.

What happened last night, I am afraid that someone is determined to pull Dai Ruyan from the queen's seat.

Qingyun is probably just one of the pawns.

Gong Yu was sitting in the inner hall, holding the memorial in her hands, thinking about how to stop the person who secretly framed him from taking the next step.

Dai Ruyan at the side approached with small steps and whispered, "Xiao Jiu..."

"what happened?"

"I am hungry."

"I'm sorry." Gong Yu hurriedly put down the memorial in his hand, took Dai Ruyan's hand and said, "I'll take Ayu to dinner right now."

When the two sat down, Gong Yu placed soup in front of Dai Ruyan, but Dai Ruyan didn't make a move.

Gong Yu had no choice but to sit at the side, feeding Dai Ruyan with a spoon in his hand.

Dai Ruyan bent her eyebrows and opened her mouth contentedly to drink the fish soup. The freshly brewed fish soup was a bit hot, Gong Yu blew on it before carefully moving it to Dai Ruyan's mouth.

"Fish soup...I like it."

Gong Yu picked up the wooden chopsticks, picked up the fishbone, and then fed Dai Ruyan with the fish meat, and asked tentatively, "Why do you like it?"

"Because cats like it too."

"Cat, is it your black cat?"

Dai Ruyan nodded and responded: "Well, it likes to eat fish very much, so it eats fish, and I drink soup."

"Mother liked that cat very much, too."

"Then where did the cat go?"

"I don't know." Dai Ruyan responded with evasive eyes, her lips pursed tightly.

Gong Yu stopped the spoon and said, "You lied to me?"

"I didn't lie to Xiaojiu."

Dai Ruyan grabbed Gong Yu's arm and said sincerely: "After that cat was taken away, I never saw it again."

"Why were you carried away?"

"I don't know...there's blood everywhere."

Gong Yu saw that Dai Ruyan's mood seemed to be unstable, so she had to stop, and quickly comforted her and said, "It's fine if you don't know, don't think about it."

Dai Ruyan leaned forward, leaned against Gong Yu and said in a low voice: "I didn't lie to Xiao Jiu, that cat bled a lot, no matter what I call it, it won't respond to me."

"Okay, I understand." Gong Yu lowered her head and kissed Ruyan's forehead and said, "Come on, eat obediently."

"Don't eat."

"why?"

Dai Ruyan was lying beside Gongyu's lap like a kitten, and replied softly, "I'm full."

"Are you sleepy?" Gong Yu put down the soup bowl and asked.

"Not sleepy, I'm just lying like this."

Gong Yu's palm lightly touched Dai Ruyan's forehead to make sure that it didn't feel hot, and then she said reassuringly, "Well, you need to tell me if you feel uncomfortable, do you understand?"

"Yeah." Dai Ruyan responded with bent eyebrows, stretched out his hand to hold Gong Yu's hand and rubbed his cheek, "Xiao Jiu's hand is so warm."

"There is floor heating burning in this hall, do you still feel cold?"

"It's not cold anymore."

After listening to the answer, Gong Yu felt relieved, ate some food with one hand, and then took Dai Ruyan to the couch in the inner hall.

Flipping through the memorial in his hand, Dai Ruyan is holding the fat rabbit in his hand, playing with it like a cat.

When Gong Yu put down the memorial in his hand in the evening, Dai Ruyan immediately put down the fat rabbit in his hand, leaned in front of Gong Yu and asked, "Is Xiao Jiu tired?"

"Not tired, did you enjoy playing with the rabbit?" Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and asked.

Dai Ruyan shook her head, gently tugged at Gong Yu's sleeve with her fingertips and said, "I want to play with Xiao Jiu."

"what do you want to play?"

"Well, I want to go outside to see the snow." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with clear and bright eyes, and said seriously: "I have never gone out to see the snow."

Gong Yu couldn't help being puzzled, why Dai Ruyan's younger sister's personality seemed to stay in the small attic of the old house of Dai's family.

If it wasn't for the outside world doing something exciting to her, could it be that Dai Ruyan's other two personalities did something as she said?

Under what circumstances would a person want to destroy himself?

Dai Ruyan in front of her leaned forward, raised her hand to lightly touch Gong Yu's cheek, and kissed the corner of Gong Yu's eye, "Xiao Jiu, don't cry, don't cry, I won't go outside to see the snow."

Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's Weiliang's hand and raised the corner of her mouth with a smile, "It's okay, it's just that it hasn't snowed outside yet, so it might take a few days before it snows."

"Okay then, I'll go see the snow with Xiaojiu in a few days."

"it is good."

Dai Ruyan stared at Gong Yu, pressed his palm tightly against Gong Yu's and said softly, "Then let's play something else, shall we?"

"what?"

"Well...it's the game that Xiao Jiu often plays with her sister."

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan puzzled and said, "What is that game you're talking about?"

"I don't know either." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu innocently, approached her, and said with her lips tightly pressed together, "It's the game where you have to untie your belt first."

Hey?

No way!

"That...isn't a game." Gong Yu explained with a blushing face.

Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, pursed her lips slightly, and said as if thinking: "But it seems to be very happy."

no!Gong Yu, you have to calm down, she is now Dai Ruyan's younger sister!

Gong Yu, who silently spurned her in her heart, looked at Dai Ruyan who was still full of hope, turned her head to look at the burning candle and said hesitantly: "It's a game played by adults, children can't play it."

"Is that so?"

"Ah."

Dai Ruyan's eyes dimmed, and he leaned against Gong Yu and whispered: "I also want to become an adult."

Seeing Dai Ruyan like this, Gong Yu wished she could give her her heart.

"Little Nine..."

"I am here."

"Is it really not possible?" Dai Ruyan looked up at Gong Yu and asked cautiously.

"for this I……"

It's over, this is definitely a [-]-point crit!

Gong Yu tilted her head, pinched her palm tightly with her fingertips and said with a smile, "I'm sorry."

No matter how cute she is, she can't cheat on her!

You have to calm down, Gong Yu!

Dai Ruyan stood beside Gong Yu with disappointment in his eyes, poked Gong Yu's palm with his fingertips and said in a low voice: "Okay, then Xiao Jiu must wait for me to grow up."

My God, Gong Yu felt that she might die of a nosebleed in the next second.

Although they are all Dai Ruyan, but...they really have a sense of being a scumbag!

Gong Yu hurriedly picked up the quilt beside Dai Ruyan to cover Dai Ruyan, and then avoided those watery eyes.

Dai Ruyan in the quilt laughed happily and called, "Is this a new game?"

"Well, let's compete to see if you can get out of the futon."

"Ok."

After making a fuss for a while, probably because she was tired, the hall became quiet after a while.

Gong Yu carefully pulled away a corner of the quilt, looked at Dai Ruyan who was nestled beside him, lightly touched the slightly frowning brow with her fingertips and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I clearly said that I will protect you well."

The sleeping man was still tightly holding Gong Yu's belt with his fingertips, Gong Yu looked at it helplessly, lowered her head slightly and kissed her cheek, and then fell asleep peacefully.

In the next few days, Gong Yu simply set up screens, so that if there are important ministers of state who need to discuss in person, it will be easy to discuss.

Dai Ruyan sat obediently by the side, holding the little rabbit in his arms, abiding by the rules of the game set by Gong Yu.

When Qin Hua came to pass the paperwork, he hesitated through the screen and said, "Your Majesty."

Gong Yu looked at the memorial and responded, "What's the matter?"

"The soldiers accompanying the princess of Sangrui Kingdom have all been silenced. Although there are no witnesses, the rumors in the capital are still being suppressed repeatedly."

"Then grab them all."

"Your Majesty, are you?"

"Order to reward those who organize rumors and troubles, and if it is true, reward hardware."

Qin Hua knelt aside and said, "Your Majesty's move will not make people in the capital panic."

Gong Yu closed the memorial and responded: "Mr. Qin, why didn't you stop my invitation to go to the princess of the Sanggu Kingdom?"

"minister……"

"I know you hate the acting queen, but I don't allow this to be the reason Mr. Qin and others framed the acting queen. If Mr. Qin can't give me a joint today, Mr. Qin will take off his black hat and go to jail."

Qin Hua bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty has a benevolent heart, and I have nothing to say. You can take over the power of the court on behalf of the empress. In the future, it will definitely hinder the royal blood of the palace kingdom from inheriting the great rule."

Gong Yu waved the teacup aside and said in a low voice, "You are foolish and loyal. The palace country is supported by thousands of people in the palace country. It is useless to waste Mr. Qin's hard study for many years."

"The minister deserves death!"

"It's been hard for Gong Guo to recover now. If there is a war between this and Sangrui Kingdom, will Mr. Qin think about the people of Gong Guo?"

Qin Huafu lowered his head and replied, "If Your Majesty is willing to abandon the Acting Empress, I will die to protect the country."

Gong Yu sighed and asked: "If Mr. Qin were me, would he abandon his wife and daughter?"

"I have checked, and Mr. Qin's wife and daughter are still alive. Now that the matter has come to an end, Mr. Qin should resign."

"The minister takes orders."

After Qin Hua put down his black gauze hat and left the hall, Gong Yu wrote a letter of appointment as the new minister of the Ministry of Punishment, which was issued by the palace servants.

Dai Ruyan was quietly at the side, leaning on Gong Yu's side, holding Gong Yu's scattered robes tightly with his fingertips.

Gong Yu turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan, and comforted her: "Did it scare you?"

Dai Ruyan rubbed Gongyu's palm and responded softly: "I'm not afraid."

Er... is this underestimated?

"Because Xiao Jiu is not scary at all." Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with bright eyes.

Sure enough, he was really underestimated.

Gong Yu stretched her arms and rubbed Dai Ruyan's face very impolitely and said with a smile: "Are you hungry?"

Dai Ruyan shook her head and grabbed Gong Yu's hand and replied, "Not hungry."

"It's snowing outside."

"how do you know?"

"When that man came in just now, there was snow on his hat."

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan with some surprise, then got up and led Dai Ruyan to the window, opened the window by a small corner, and the howling wind blew head-on, making Gong Yu's frozen face stiff.

Dai Ruyan cleverly hid in Gong Yu, grabbed Gong Yu's robe in his hand and said happily: "It's really snowing!"

"It's very cold outside." Gong Yu hurriedly closed the window and responded with her head turned sideways.

"Doesn't Xiaojiu's words count?"

This is really direct.

Gong Yu hesitantly bypassed Dai Ruyan in front of him and responded: "I'm busy with business, the heavy snow will not stop, why don't we go outside the hall to watch the snow in a few days?"

Dai Ruyan stood in front of Gong Yu, looking at Gong Yu seriously, Gong Yu was inexplicably guilty, so she had to stand up and respond: "Okay, I will ask the palace servants to prepare cloaks and other items to save you, if It’s not good to catch a cold and get sick.”

"En!" Dai Ruyan responded obediently.

Out of the gate of the palace, the snow outside was astonishingly heavy, Gong Yu held an umbrella in his hand, gently held Dai Ruyan's hand with one hand and said helplessly, "This snow is really heavy."

The two walked on foot, the palace was very empty, the snow was not deep enough to be friends, Dai Ruyan looked around curiously.

Gong Yu was afraid that if he was not paying attention, this person would run away and disappear.

Unexpectedly, Dai Ruyan just looked at it but didn't do anything else, it's really very well-behaved.

"Little Nine..."

"I am here."

Dai Ruyan turned her head, looked at Gong Yu with a bright smile, leaned closer and kissed Gong Yu on the cheek and asked softly, "Can I touch the snow?"

Gong Yu couldn't help being dazzled by this smile, she was slightly taken aback and then replied: "You use your clothes to cover it, the snow won't melt so fast."

"it is good."

Goose feather snow fluttered on Dai Ruyan's outstretched sleeves, Dai Ruyan looked at it carefully, then handed it to Gong Yu and said, "The snow is so white."

"Like it?"

"like."

Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand tightly, and suddenly thought that perhaps Dai Ruyan would be happier if she lived like this forever.

When the two of them returned to the hall in the middle of the night, Gong Yu reached out to replace Ru Yanjie's cloak, which was covered with a lot of snowflakes, and the warmth of the hall quickly melted into water, making it easy for people to catch a cold.

Dai Ruyan obediently took the hand warmer from Gong Yu, and the palace people had already prepared the meals, and quietly retreated to the side.

The two sat down, Gong Yu filled the fish soup, and fed it with small mouthfuls, Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to lightly hold the jade pendant worn by Gong Yu, and then picked up the jade pendant on his body, as if he was playing with it in his hand.

Gong Yu didn't stop him, but took advantage of the free time to eat some food.

Dai Ruyan at the side hugged the fat rabbit who was wandering around, and suddenly called out: "Xiao Jiu..."

"Well, I'm here." Gong Yu hurriedly swallowed the hot soup in her mouth.

"Why does the snow disappear so easily?"

"It didn't disappear, it just melted from snowflakes to water."

Dai Ruyan looked at the fat rabbit in his arms, put two jade pendants on the low table and said, "My sisters must have thought I disappeared."

Gong Yu paused and asked, "Then what did you do?"

"No." Dai Ruyan smiled brightly and said, "I didn't do anything."

This smile seemed a little unharmonious on Dai Ruyan's sluggish face.

Dai Ruyan put the jade pendant on Gong Yu's place again, with a serious expression as if A Yan had returned, Gong Yu hesitantly called out: "Did you remember anything just now?"

"No."

In the middle of the night, Dai Ruyan lay on his side and fell asleep peacefully, while Gong Yu unfolded and wrote the list of court officials.

In the past, Gong Yu was thinking about the contacts arranged by Dai Ruyan in the court.

First of all, the official position should not be too low, and secondly, it should not be too conspicuous in the court. Gong Yu looked at the list but couldn't think of any list.

As for the already burning rumors in the capital country, Gong Yu can only take tough measures to suppress them for the time being, but the war in the Sangjiao country is probably inevitable.

The court is intriguing, and most of the military forces of the palace kingdom are not in the hands of Gongyu. The only troops in the hands of Gongyu can protect the capital city, or only the capital city palace.

The military forces of the kings are not at their command now, and most of the generals in the court are hereditary. After hundreds of years in the palace, the generals are also a group of hidden dangers.

In the past, Gong Yu thought that the emperor had some soldiers in his hands. Now it seems that the emperor has only an empty shell left. No wonder the former emperor chose to appoint Gong Yu as the emperor. The monarch has no power, so there is only an empty shell left.

The military battalion that had been handed over to Qin Hua before, might be a bit reluctant to be summoned by Gong Yu now.

What's more, if the disadvantages were exposed, the group of tigers and wolves in the court would have long wanted to tear Gongyu apart.

Gong Yu asked Qin Hua to revise the more stringent palace laws that originally divided the power of the aristocratic families. According to the plan, if they survive the next imperial examination, there will be new talents to replace the powerful officials in the court.

But right now Gong Yu can only plan for the worst.

In the early morning of the next day, Gong Yu chose eloquent envoys and sent them to the Sanggu Kingdom with an imperial edict, first to test the tone of the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom.

The heavy snow fell longer and longer, as if it was going to freeze the entire imperial palace in the capital.

In the early morning, seeing the urgent documents from the frontier, Gong Yu couldn't help feeling a headache. The emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom was determined to go to war, and had already summoned troops to make trouble at the border.

Due to Gong Yu's suppression, the palace is still stable for the time being, but once the flames of war ignite, the people who stir up trouble in the dark may cause trouble.

Gong Yu chose some martial arts figures who had been recruited in the mansion, but the troops in the court needed aristocratic families as generals, and the Chu Feihou family held heavy troops, but they used the excuse that they were too old to go out.

There was nothing wrong with this matter, but the soldier and horse palace jade pinched in their hands couldn't move.

It's no wonder that when the first emperor went out to fight, the mighty one had to cooperate with several generals to get together the troops.

Gongguo, which has lasted for hundreds of years, has already been dragged to the brink of death by these bloodthirsty aristocratic families, so Gongyu had no choice but to forcefully recruit soldiers and horses to prepare for emergencies.

Gong Yu, the soldiers and horses guarding the imperial palace in the capital city, must not be evacuated. The re-recruited soldiers and horses need to be trained, and now that the cold winter is approaching, most of the palace country relies on the canal to operate the grain and grass, but once the grain and grass are frozen, it will be a big problem.

At the beginning, Gong Yu was still wondering why the first emperor would rather pay compensation in that battle. If the war dragged on longer, it would put the entire palace kingdom in danger.

The flying pigeon landed by the window, and Gong Yu got up to get it. When the chain shattered, Dai Ruyan, who was sleeping next to her, woke up in a daze, looked around and called softly, "Xiao Jiu, where are you?"

"I'm here." Taking out the letter paper from the letter box tied to the pigeon's leg, after opening it for a closer look, Gong Yu frowned involuntarily.

Dai Ruyan stepped on the soft blanket and walked over with her bare feet, stretched her arms and stuck to it, or her cheeks were slightly hot because she just woke up.

Gong Yu gently embraced Dai Ruyan with one hand and said, "Go barefoot, but you will catch a cold."

"It's not cold, it's very comfortable to be hot." Dai Ruyan smiled with her eyebrows bent.

"That's not allowed."

"Oh." Dai Ruyan pulled Gong Yu to sit down, and Gong Yu put on the socks instead of Ruyan.

Inside the hall, Dai Ruyan's palms were also very hot. When the shoes and socks were put on, Gong Yu straightened Dai Ruyan's skirt and said with a smile, "Mmm, it's so pretty."

Dai Ruyan slightly stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Gong Yu's mouth, her eyes clearly reflected Gong Yu's pale cheeks and replied: "Xiao Jiu is also pretty."

"really?"

"Well, the nose is nice."

amount……

Gong Yu took Dai Ruyan's hand and responded: "Shouldn't I say that my eyes are pretty?"

"Well, the eyes are pretty too." Dai Ruyan belatedly agreed.

After washing up, the two had dinner, Gong Yu placed the porridge in front of Dai Ruyan, it was rare for Dai Ruyan to take the initiative to hold the wooden spoon, and ate in small bites.

"Why are you so sensible today?"

"Xiao Jiu is very busy recently."

Gong Yu stretched out her hand and scratched the next generation Ruyan's nose and said, "No matter how busy you are, there is still time to have dinner with you."

Dai Ruyan shook her head with a smile and said, "But Xiao Jiu doesn't sleep with me very much recently."

"No way, there are a lot of troubles recently, I have to deal with them so that I can spend New Year's Eve with Ayan properly."

"New Year's Eve?" Dai Ruyan only said a few words softly, and then buried herself in the porridge.

Gong Yu looked a little abnormal, leaned closer and asked, "Why don't you talk?"

Dai Ruyan stared at Gongyu with porridge in her mouth, her eyes were as black as ink beads, and said in a low voice, "I'll grow up after New Year's Eve."

"grown up?"

"Yeah, when you grow up, you can play games with Xiaojiu that only adults can play."

Gong Yu, who was almost choked by the porridge, blushed and looked at Dai Ruyan who said this in a serious manner, and hurriedly looked away, meditating on the seriousness of the sin!

Dai Ruyan thought that Gong Yu was unwilling, her eyes showed sadness and she even put down the porridge bowl in her hand.

Gong Yu pulled Dai Ruyan who was about to leave in perplexity and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

"Sure enough, Xiao Jiu still likes sisters and the others more, right?"

Such a calm and calm appearance, really like Ayan.

Dai Ruyan pursed her lips tightly, trying to break free from Gong Yu's hand, Gong Yu hurriedly stretched out her hands to restrain Dai Ruyan's nonsense, and said comfortingly: "Good boy, I didn't say I didn't like you."

But Dai Ruyan, who was nestled in his arms, had red eyes and said nothing, as if he was lost in thought.

Hey, it feels like suddenly becoming a mother.

Gong Yu wiped the tears from the corners of Dai Ruyan's eyes with a handkerchief in her hand, and said comfortingly: "It's cold in winter, if your face gets frostbitten, it will hurt a bit, and it won't look good then."

When she said this, Dai Ruyan believed it, tears stopped in the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, shall we eat?"

Dai Ruyan shook her head and tugged at Gong Yu's sleeve robe, and suddenly asked seriously: "Why do you only play with your sisters?"

Gong Yu was so embarrassed that she couldn't think of an explanation in her head, so she had to keep silent.

The hall became quiet all of a sudden, and the soft sound of snowflakes on the falling roof tiles could even be heard outside.

"Does Xiaojiu know why my sisters hate me, so Xiaojiu hates me too?" Dai Ruyan leaned closer with puzzled eyes, eager to get Gong Yu's answer.

Dai Ruyan's force on the back of Gong Yu's hand was obviously much stronger. Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in front of him in a daze, wondering whether sister Dai Ruyan's personality was really so innocent?

Who is this oppressive personality in front of me who wants to be responded to?

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in front of her seriously and said, "Why do you come out, ma'am, every time Ayan breaks down?"

"I don't know, if I want to come out, come out?"

"Then can you let Ayan come out?"

Dai Ruyan hesitated in his eyes, avoiding Gong Yu's questioning gaze and said: "Sister is very tired, I can also accompany Xiao Jiu."

"I ask you, when did you feel my presence?"

"It's been a long time. At first, I could only feel it occasionally. Later, when Xiao Jiu stole my sister, I could get closer and closer to Xiao Jiu."

Gong Yu looked at the generation Ruyan in front of her with some headaches and asked, "Did you kill the black cat and the two maidservants?"

"It's not me!" Dai Ruyan shook her head emotionally and said, "I didn't do anything."

"really?"

Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand and replied sincerely: "Really."

"Then why did Ayan want to kill you?"

The hand holding Gong Yu suddenly let go, Dai Ruyan distanced herself, looked at Gong Yu in confusion and asked, "Does Xiao Jiu not like it either?"

"Or does Xiao Jiu think I'm too useless?"

Gong Yu stretched out her arms and wrapped Dai Ruyan in her arms and whispered: "I don't dislike you, but I want to know what happened to make you like this."

If the root cause of the mental illness cannot be known, Gong Yu doesn't even know how to make Dai Ruyan return to normal step by step.

Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's cheek, leaning against Gong Yu trustingly as before and softly replied: "Mother, it was mother who killed her."

"The maidservants always dislike the cats, and my mother killed them because she was upset."

Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan's tightly pursed lips and asked, "But why did the cat die too?"

"Cat?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with empty eyes and whispered, "I don't remember, the cat was still sleeping in my arms."

Did Mrs. Qing Ji kill the maidservant and the black cat, or did Dai Ruyan's younger sister personality kill them, so Ayan wanted to destroy her own cruel personality?

So the original paranoid personality is Ayan's derivative personality?Or is it a third personality independent of Ayan and her sister's personality?

Gong Yu caressed Ruyan's slightly cool face with the palm of her hand, and kissed Ruyan's frowning brows: "Did you really forget? Or did you just ignore it?"

Dai Ruyan stared blankly at Gong Yu and suddenly smiled, kissed Gong Yu's pale cheek and said, "Why don't you like me?"

"Obviously I have
