Since Dai Ruyan of Jinzhou regained the pollen of the flower of eternal life, everything has been pushed forward by Dai Ruyan.
At the beginning, Gong Yu was thinking, if Gong Liang had the imperial edict left by the former emperor, why would Dai Ruyan let him live.
After all, to some extent, eradicating the roots is Dai Ruyan's style of work.
Until now, Gong Yu couldn't help guessing that maybe it was because of Gong Liang and the old general Ji that there might be a possibility of cooperating in this rebellion.
So Dai Ruyan kept this move, in order to let General Ji come out of the impregnable Jinzhou city defense as quickly as possible.
Thinking about it this way, one has to guess how far-reaching Dai Ruyan's layout is.
However, the heavy blow in the heart caused severe pain, and Gong Yu had to lie on the bed to recuperate for more than half a month.
Even the early court was temporarily ruled by Dai Ruyan. Gong Yu watched the chain connecting his wrists extend to the outer hall, and slowly pulled.
The other end was gently pulled back, and the hall was empty, not even a single palace attendant.
Gong Yu got up carefully and poured a cup of tea to drink, while the parrot beside him called loudly: "Xiao Jiu... Xiao Jiu..."
"If you scream again, I'll burn you in soy sauce." Gong Yu walked up to the parrot, put the food on it, and sighed, "Whether I can get out of this palace or not is a question."
When the morning was over, Dai Ruyan came back from the outer hall, Gong Yu was lazily nestled in the recliner, the slightly open window sill was full of dazzling sunlight.
Dai Ruyan walked to the side, raised his hand and gently closed the window and said with a smile: "Woke up so early today?"
Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and asked, "Why didn't you let me go out?"
"What are you going out for?" Sitting aside, Dai Ruyan put his palm lightly on Gong Yu's wrist and said in a low voice: "It's hot outside, Xiao Jiu is the most likely to feel uncomfortable in the past, it's better to stay indoors. "
"But my heart doesn't hurt much anymore."
"Really?" Dai Ruyan said, raised his hand to pick up the ointment beside him and said, "Let me see."
Hey?
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan defensively and said, "I should have seen it myself."
Dai Ruyan opened the ointment and said, "If the bruise is still there, you have to take good care of it."
"I can take the medicine myself."
"It's okay, I want to see how Xiao Jiu's injury is."
The hall was very quiet, Dai Ruyan's eyes were as calm as water, Gong Yu always felt that there was something strange in these words, but he couldn't find anything.
The belt was gradually untied, and the cool ointment felt a little cool when applied, Gong Yu blushed and looked sideways at the bright window illuminated by the sun.
The soft fingertips seemed to stay very slowly on purpose, Gong Yu bit her lips slightly and did not speak, so as to avoid misunderstanding.
Dai Ruyan stopped suddenly, the light in front of her eyes was suddenly blocked, Gong Yu stared blankly at Dai Ruyan who was kissing her.
Until the distance was widened, Dai Ruyan leaned close to him, staring at Gongyu with tenderness, the rouge on her lips was gorgeous and eye-catching.
"Little Nine..."
"Ah."
His eyes were suddenly covered by the belt, Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's cheek with his palm and said in a low voice: "Hey, don't move around, I'm afraid of hurting you."
Afterwards, a delicate kiss quietly fell, which made Gong Yu a little confused for a moment, why did Dai Ruyan suddenly become so enthusiastic?
A small sound in the empty hall can be heard clearly, and the crisp sound of chains in the inner hall from time to time rang like a tinkling bell.
Even the whispered begging for mercy covered by the sound of the chain was quietly amplified.
In the afternoon, the sound of cicadas outside the window resounded like thunder, and when Gong Yu woke up exhausted, the belt in front of her eyes had not been torn off, but when she was about to stretch out her hand, Dai Ruyan grasped it lightly.
Gong Yu called out in a slightly low voice: "Ayan?"
The light kiss that quietly fell on the corner of the mouth was very gentle.
"Will you not sleep again?" Dai Ruyan asked in a low voice, wrapping Gong Yu lightly with his arms.
"Don't sleep."
Dai Ruyan next to him seemed to raise his head slightly. Although Gong Yu couldn't see it, she still tilted her head subconsciously.
Until the belt in front of him was untied, Dai Ruyan's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were bright and moving.
Gong Yu inexplicably became a little shy, squinted her eyes and hid in the thin blanket, gently touched Gong Yu's cheek on behalf of Ruyan's fingertips, rubbed Gong Yu's cheek affectionately and said: "Little Jiu Zhenxiang."
Isn't this what Gong Yu loved to tease Dai Ruyan most in the past?
Is it karma?
"You... didn't you say that it's not suitable in broad daylight?" Gong Yu hid in the thin blanket and asked with a blushing face.
Dai Ruyan got into the blanket, pecked Gong Yu's cheek lightly a few times and responded, "Isn't this the night?"
"Ayan, you have turned bad." Gong Yu said with her lips tightly pressed together.
"Where is it broken?" Dai Ruyan asked lightly, pulling away the thin blanket covering the two of them.
Gong Yu turned her head to see the robes scattered on the floor, her face was even redder, and her lover complained: "Everything is bad, and they always lie to me. Obviously, I am ready to go wherever Ayan wants to go, but Ayan has been doing it all day long." Don't let me out."
Dai Ruyan lightly pressed the corner of Gong Yu's pouting mouth with her fingertips, raised her arms to encircle Gong Yu and said carefully: "But no matter how bad I am, I'm still a bad guy who only likes Xiao Jiu."
"I don't care, I have to go out tomorrow, otherwise I will be bored if I stay in the palace all day." Gong Yuman said seriously.
For a while, Dai Ruyan didn't make a sound, just pecked Gong Yu's cheek lightly.
Gong Yu was very blocked in her heart, so she avoided Dai Ruyan's closeness.
"Okay, but Xiao Jiu can't make any more troubles." Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's brows lightly with his fingertips and muttered.
Probably this can be regarded as the success of soft grinding and hard foaming.
In order to prevent the cunning Dai Ruyan, Ban Yue Gongyu stayed honestly in the gazebo at first.
It wasn't until one day that Dai Ruyan was busy dealing with the memorial and didn't have time to come to the gazebo with Gong Yu for dinner, that Gong Yu quietly rushed to the side hall.
When the soldiers guarding outside saw Gong Yu, their feet softened and they hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't try to go inside again."
"It's okay, I have the queen's permission this time."
The officer was dubious and sent someone to question the empress, Gong Yu didn't wait for him, and went straight into the hall.
Then Zhao Anyue seemed to sense Gong Yu's approach and said with a smile: "I thought you were locked up like a pet by Dai Ruyan."
Gong Yu stopped by the door and responded, "I've come to ask you something."
"Strange, why didn't you ask Dai Ruyan?"
"The flower of eternal life, are you voluntary?"
Zhao Anyue burst out laughing suddenly, the vines on the wall suddenly grew rapidly, even reaching in front of Gong Yu, but stopped abruptly.
"How can there be any voluntary or involuntary?" Zhao Anyue responded in a low voice: "I, I never thought of being able to marry the flower of eternal life, and Dai Ruyan naturally didn't think of it either."
"I said long ago that you are not suitable for Dai Ruyan. When I can live closely with the Flower of Eternal Life, Dai Ruyan will definitely look at me with admiration."
"You are crazy, to Dai Ruyan, you are just a tool."
These words seemed to anger Zhao Anyue. The oncoming rattan was full of aggressiveness. Gong Yu subconsciously took precautions, but she didn't expect that the rattan seemed to be quite afraid of herself, so she couldn't help stretching out her hand hesitantly. The vines suddenly avoided.
Zhao Anyue kept waving the cane angrily, but she could only avoid it in the end, Gong Yu couldn't help asking curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
"Dai Ruyan gave me a ban, and I can't kill you!"
Gong Yu looked at the more lush vines and branches in the hall, and even the blooming flowers in the center of the hall became more eye-catching.
"Zhao Anyue, don't you... don't you realize that you are no longer a human?" Gong Yu asked the inside of the hall.
"To gain eternal life, I am no longer a mortal body, but now I am more powerful than before."
"Your flesh and blood are being absorbed by these things, and one day you will be swallowed up."
"Even if I'm swallowed, I can live forever, Gong Yu, are you jealous of me?" Zhao Anyue suddenly smiled.
The laughter echoed in the hall, and Gong Yu felt that Zhao Anyue was really hopeless.
Dai Ruyan's obsession with the Flower of Eternal Life must be because of Zhao Anyue's weird combination with the Flower of Eternal Life, so she had that absurd idea.
Gong Yu held the sword and walked forward slowly, the vines unconsciously backed away, Zhao Anyue stopped smiling and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Kill you, Ayan will stop."
"Gong Yu, do you think you can kill me with a sword?" Zhao Anyue shook her head and said, "I'm already immortal."
"What's more, who do you think created me?"
Zhao Anyue said proudly, "Dai Ruyan will not allow you to destroy me."
"The sword may not kill you, but there is always another way."
"You can't kill people."
Gong Yu stopped and asked, "Why?"
"Because you don't have killing intent in your eyes." Zhao Anyue blinked and smiled, "The Flower of Eternal Life is so harmful, but I can coexist with it. It is obviously impossible for you."
"Ten years later, you will die of old age, but I will still live and be by Dai Ruyan's side."
"You seem to enjoy the pleasure of eternal life."
"Yes, do you know that the blood I drink every day is from Dai Ruyan?" Zhao Anyue smiled madly in her eyes, "You don't understand how much she poured into me, the charm of eternal life is unstoppable."
Gong Yu pressed the sword in Zhao Anyue's neck and said, "You are crazy."
"I can't die, don't you understand?"
"Really?" Gong Yu withdrew her sword, stared at Zhao Anyue and replied, "Do you know how the Flower of Eternal Life in Jinzhou was destroyed?"
Zhao Anyue asked with puzzled eyes, "What do you want to say?"
"You see, you don't know anything, and you just want to live forever." Gong Yu shook his head and said, "You have become the carrier of the flower of eternal life, and you will definitely be used to smelt the immortality elixir in the future. Can you still live?"
"It is impossible for Dai Ruyan to destroy me!" Zhao Anyue scolded angrily, "I am the only one who succeeds. If she destroys me, if she fails, there is no room for recovery."
The sword in Gong Yu's hand gently cut off the branches and leaves growing from Zhao Anyue's body and said, "Didn't you hear the gunfire outside?"
Zhao Anyue stopped by the window and asked, "What's going on outside?"
"The poisonous people of Jinzhou are besieging the capital. This is the artillery fire used to deal with them."
"Golden State?"
"Yes, you should know that Jinzhou is the most suitable place to cultivate the flower of eternal life. At that time, will you only be needed?" Gong Yu waved his sword and walked towards the blooming flower in the palace and sighed: " Can you still laugh now?"
"Impossible, General Ji is strictly guarding the Golden State, how could it be possible for someone to occupy the Golden State!"
Gong Yu waved the sword, and the delicate flowers fell down one after another, as if a magnificent massacre, the ground under the flowers was covered with dark blood.
"These flowers were cultivated by Dai Ruyan himself."
"So what?" Gong Yu seemed to be walking in the open wilderness, and when she came back to her senses, the flower bush had already been destroyed.
But after a while, these flowers grew again, Gong Yu looked at it in shock, only to find that these flowers were even longer and more lush than before.
It's just that this flower seems to be like a human being, it can actually move, and the thorns on the stem are like fangs, as if a layer of skin can be torn off with a slight touch.
This extremely aggressive appearance is completely different from the delicate and beautiful flowers just now.
Gong Yu tightened the sword in her hand and muttered: "What kind of monsters are these?"
Zhao Anyue sneered and said, "You have to know that we monsters were all bred by Dai Ruyan."
"How is it? Do you still think that Dai Ruyan is the Dai Ruyan you know?"
The hall was brightly lit, Gong Yu looked sideways at Zhao Anyue who was lying there, who was neither human nor ghost, and said: "The flower of eternal life in Jinzhou was destroyed by fire, do you know that?"
"What do you want to do!"
"I don't want to do anything." Gong Yu put down his sword wearily, leaned against the beam and replied, "I just want Dai Ruyan to live a stable life, instead of letting the flames of war rage for this kind of thing."
When Dai Ruyan was busy deploying the guards of the capital during the hot summer, the little eunuch outside the hall rushed in and shouted: "Empress, Your Majesty set fire to the southeast hall!"
Dai Ruyan stopped the pen in her hand and asked, "Tell me again, where is it?"
The little eunuch knelt down on the ground full of fear and replied: "A side hall in the southeast corner of the palace."
"Quick! Get someone to put out the fire!"
"Yes! The servants are going now!" The little eunuch crawled away from the hall.
Only Dai Ruyan was left in the hall, and there was a sudden noise in the empty and silent hall, the piled memorials had been overturned to the ground, and even the inkstone was overturned.
The palace people waiting outside all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, until Dai Ruyan came out of the palace, followed closely behind.
The sky was full of smoke and fire, and the eunuchs were busy working non-stop, and the fire in the entire southeast side hall was astonishing.
In summer, when the sky is dry and things are dry, it is easy to catch fire. Gong Yu leaned against the wall and watched the flames engulf the entire side hall until the beams began to collapse.
The palace people were too afraid to enter, so they had to stop aside to try their best to prevent the fire from spreading to other palaces.
When Dai Ruyan arrived, Gong Yu's face was aching from the flames, and a group of palace people knelt down to salute, leaving Gong Yujing standing aside.
You can even vaguely hear the sound of the wooden beams collapsing in the side hall. Dai Ruyan rarely chooses to ignore Gong Yu, but this time Dai Ruyan walked straight in front of Gong Yu, his eyes were cold and hurtful.
The group of people behind did not stop, Gong Yu walked back alone with the sword in his hand, and he could still see the smoky smoke far away from the side hall.
The fire was not extinguished until night, and Dai Ruyan kept watch until the night, and the guards stood in front of the burned ruins.
The vines have been scorched, not to mention the blooming flowers in the temple were burnt to ashes.
Dai Ruyan looked around, her eyes fixed on Zhao Anyue who was barely breathing.
"Can you still talk?" Dai Ruyan stopped beside Zhao Anyue holding a sword.
Zhao Anyue had already become one with the vine branches, and the flames burned most of her body into coke. Almost half of her body could not move, and she called out in a hoarse voice, "Give me...blood..."
"What did you do to make Xiao Jiu want to destroy you."
"I...didn't do anything." Zhao Anyue asked, "Are you abandoning me?"
"You can't be transported to the Golden State to recover like this."
"It's... cruel."
Zhao Anyue blinked and smiled, "I'm your only... success carrier."
Dai Ruyan frowned and replied: "You are just an unfinished experiment."
"No wonder Gong Yu said that she is tired of living with a monster like you."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The sword in Dai Ruyan's hand sank into Zhao Anyue's abdomen.
"Didn't you never know that she always thought you were a monster like me?"
Zhao Anyue couldn't breathe and said, "She told me personally that she would kill you, so she will never let you develop the longevity medicine."
Dai Ruyan turned the hand holding the sword lightly, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he murmured: "Impossible."
"It's ridiculous. You want to live forever with her, but she wants to kill you with her own hands."
The sword was pulled out suddenly, Zhao Anyue stopped in pain, before she could recover, the sword fell again, Dai Ruyan smiled and said: "You lied to me."
"Anyone in this world might want to kill me, but Xiao Jiu is the only one who can't. Do you know why?"
The sword that hadn't entered the heart stood quietly, and Zhao Anyue had no other movement, only Dai Ruyan pulled out the sword numbly, and stabbed hard again.
"Because Xiaojiu loves me, she said she will love me forever." Dai Ruyan threw the sword aside with empty eyes, and said with a raised mouth: "You dare to sow discord, you really deserve to die."
This is like a side hall in ruins, like a tomb.
In the middle of the night, Ruyan hadn't come back yet, and Gong Yu sat alone in front of the low table where the food was set.
When Dai Ruyan hurried into the hall, the complicated headgear made a crisp sound due to her hasty steps.
Gong Yu just stretched out his hand to lift the tile and said to himself: "If Ayan doesn't come back, I'm going to starve to death."
However, no response was received, Dai Ruyan just stood quietly in front of Gong Yu, as if examining a criminal.
Regarding this kind of treatment, Gong Yu pretended not to see it, put a portion of fish soup in front of Dai Ruyan, and then took a small sip of it herself.
The atmosphere was inexplicably weird. After drinking a bowl of fish soup, Gong Yu ate some cold chicken with rice.
For a moment, there was only the slight sound of wooden chopsticks and dishes in the hall. Dai Ruyan stepped forward suddenly, and when Gong Yu didn't react at all, the food in front of him was swept to the ground.
The sound of dishes breaking and breaking broke the oppressive silence. Dai Ruyan approached, holding Gong Yu's cheek in his palm, his eyes were full of anger and puzzlement, and asked in a low voice: "Why did Xiao Jiu destroy What about our future?"
There was even a hint of sadness and disappointment in the words.
Gong Yu wanted to distance herself, but found that there was no room for resistance.
"That's not our future."
"Why do you want to destroy it?" Dai Ruyan slowly grabbed Gong Yu's neck with his hands, as if he would lose control in the next moment.
The feeling of being restrained made Gong Yu feel a little uncomfortable, she stretched her arms to push Dai Ruyan away.
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with red eyes and said, "Why doesn't Xiao Jiu want to believe me?"
Breathing became more and more uncomfortable, Gong Yu had to reach out urgently to grab Dai Ruyan's wrist, and escape from the confinement while Dai Ruyan was relaxed.
Gong Yu hurriedly distanced herself and asked, "Ayan, are you... going to kill me?"
"Xiao Jiu, you said you loved me." Dai Ruyan slowly moved closer, but there was loneliness in his eyes.
In order to prevent being attacked again, Gong Yu got up to avoid Dai Ruyan's approach and replied: "I love you."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu puzzled and said, "Then why do you want to destroy our future?"
Gong Yu kept vigilant all the time, for fear that Dai Ruyan would suddenly take out a dagger like before in the next second, it would really be life-threatening.
"Our future will be fine even without the flower of eternal life."
"It's different." Dai Ruyan approached step by step, and said with a very serious expression: "Xiao Jiu cruelly destroyed the Flower of Eternal Life, in fact, she didn't want to be with me forever, did she?"
"Nothing." Gong Yu stopped and explained: "Zhao Anyue said that Ayan used her own blood to raise her, I can't accept it."
Dai Ruyan stretched his arms and hugged Gong Yu lightly and said in a low voice, "Silly, it won't take much blood."
"Why doesn't Ayan understand that anyone who takes the flower of eternal life will have no good results, why do we take risks?"
"Wouldn't Xiaojiu be willing to take this little risk to gain eternal life?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yunian with hopeful eyes and said, "How many people dream of immortality, why doesn't Xiaojiu want it?"
Because Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand, Gong Yu saw the gauze wrapped around Dai Ruyan's arm.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan distressedly and asked: "Ayan, did you hear the gunfire outside?
"The common people could live and work in peace and contentment, but now they are devastated by the flames of war, and even the entire palace is under the minions of other countries. Ayan, do you really care about nothing?"
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly and replied: "The flames of war will never stop. As long as there are people, there will be disputes. If there are disputes, there will be wars. This is inevitable for everyone."
Gong Yu looked sideways at the flickering candle and said, "Is it like what we are doing now?"
"Of course not." Dai Ruyan let go of his hands and explained: "I will not have any disputes with Xiao Jiu, as long as Xiao Jiu is obedient and stops messing around, I can naturally let the past go."
"What if I'm not obedient and I'm going to mess around?"
Immediately deadlocked, Dai Ruyan stared at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Jiu will be punished."
Gong Yu wanted to break free but found that Dai Ruyan had fastened the chain again, Dai Ruyan lightly rubbed Gong Yu's brow with her fingertips and comforted her: "I'll forget about Zhao Anyue, Xiao Jiu, don't lose your temper."
"Am I messing around?" Gong Yu pulled away from her and was so angry that she couldn't even speak.
Every time Dai Ruyan took a step closer, Gong Yu took a step away, and the two were at a stalemate across the long chain.
"Xiao Jiu, are you avoiding me?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with his fingertips wrapped around the chain.
"I'm angry now, and I don't want to talk to you."
"Just now, I lost my mind for a while, let me see if your neck is hurt?"
Gong Yu paused hesitantly and said, "It's okay, it's just that you were a little scary just now."
Dai Ruyan approached slowly, looked apologetically at Gong Yu's already red and swollen marks, stretched out his hand and lightly held Gong Yu's hanging hand and responded: "Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
It seems that Zhao Anyue's matter just turned around, Dai Ruyan didn't mention it at all, and Gong Yu couldn't guess whether Dai Ruyan would have another trick.
After a few days like this, Gong Yu went to court, although Dai Ruyan did not stop him, but if there is no Dai Ruyan's permission to issue an edict, even if Gong Yugai passes down the imperial seal, the edict still cannot be implemented.
Whenever this time comes, Gong Yu will anxiously take the memorial to find Dai Ruyan.
"Since General Ji led the rest of the poisonous people to flee in a hurry, why didn't they open the city gate?"
Dai Ruyan drank tea and responded: "The pile of corpses outside the city gate will take some time to clean up. Moreover, General Ji has thrown too much poison gas outside. Once the city gate is opened, if infected people are brought in, the people inside the capital may be killed." None were spared."
Gong Yu sat on the side and said: "Then send a doctor to go outside the city for treatment, otherwise the people outside the city will only have a dead end?"
"The poison set by General Ji is a poison in the world, and the infected people can only die."
"What does A Yan mean by just sitting idly by?"
"It's not just ignoring it, it's just that the war has just ceased now, and all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have been dispatched. If there is chaos in the capital at this time, has Xiao Jiu ever thought about the consequences?" Dai Ruyan put down the tea in his hand and responded.
Gong Yujing sat aside, put down the memorial in his hand, thought for a while and said: "Ayan sends back the guards of Jinzhou, and there will be enough people in the capital."
"No."
"why?"
Dai Ruyan reached out to pick up some of the ones on the side and replied: "The water in the distance can't quench the thirst. I have other arrangements in Jinzhou."
When the conversation came to this point, Gong Yu obviously knew that this would not work in Dai Ruyan.
The hall fell into silence for a while, and the midsummer passed by. The corpses of the death party outside the capital were rotting and smelly, and the poisonous gas was lingering outside.
One is to prevent another large-scale epidemic, and the other is to give peace of mind to the people in the capital.
Even the palace will send several court doctors to wait in turn every day.
The smell in the air was a bit strange, Gong Yu patrolled the messy battlefield from the palace wall of the capital, and behind him was the bustling capital.
When Gongyu returned to the palace in a sedan chair, there was a sudden disturbance in the streets of Duguo, and the sedan chair was knocked to the ground.
The guards escorted him in time, and nothing happened, but the expressions of the people watching the excitement made Gong Yu feel uncomfortable.
Going back to the palace alone, Gong Yu collapsed on the reclining chair tiredly, the sunset outside the window dyed the sky red, and occasionally saw a few rows of egrets flying away.
Or because of the retreat of General Ji, the Sangju Kingdom, which was still on the sidelines, completely withdrew its troops.
Things are looking up, and just because the war is over doesn't mean everything is over.
The rebels in Jinzhou destroyed the city defenses of various counties and counties. Repairing the city defenses required manpower and money. It was originally the time of the autumn harvest. Due to the war, the people fled from their homes. If they could not properly resettle the victims, it would cause future troubles.
Of course, it only takes time to arrange these things slowly, but since Gong Yu burned down the side hall, Dai Ruyan has become strange.
On the surface, he no longer manages the government, but suppresses Gong Yu's new policies everywhere.
When the side hall was burned down, Gong Yu originally thought that Dai Ruyan would give up, but she didn't expect her to intensify.
Ma Gongyu, a man from Jinzhou, didn't put anyone in, and it seemed like Dai Ruyan's dictatorship.
When the chain shattered, Gong Yu guessed that Dai Ruyan had returned.
It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a meowing sound following it, and Gong Yu, who was feeling uncomfortable, turned sideways, and saw Dai Ruyan holding a black cat in his arms.
Dai Ruyan met Gong Yu's eyes, then quietly moved away, his eyes were calm and unfamiliar.
"This cat ran into the hall from nowhere, so I thought that the hall is empty anyway, so it would be better to raise it to accompany Xiaojiu to relieve boredom." Dai Ruyan smiled just right.
Gong Yu pursed her lips tightly and did not respond, only to see the thin black cat lightly jumped down from Dai Ruyan's arm, looking around, the fat rabbit huddled in the corner.
Before the candles in the hall were lit, Dai Ruyan's dark purple dress seemed to blend in with the darkness, Gong Yu looked at the black cat wandering beside Dai Ruyan and replied, "I don't need to , if Ah Yan likes to keep it."
After finishing speaking, Gong Yu lay lazily on the reclining chair, the outside became darker day by day, the heat gradually subsided, and it became a little cold.
Dai Ruyan sat on the side, holding a round fan in his hand and fanning the wind lightly: "To the people below today, the governor of Jinzhou arranged by Xiaojiu has returned home after returning from illness."
Gong Yu tugged at the quilt with her palm and responded: "Well, I see."
"Why isn't Xiaojiu angry?"
"Does Ayan want me to be angry?" Gong Yu still turned her back to Dai Ruyan.
Dai Ruyan lay on his side, his arms lightly wrapped around Gong Yu, and the tip of his nose lightly rubbed Gong Yu's cheek and said softly: "Xiao Jiu is so indifferent."
Gong Yu turned around and looked at Dai Ruyan and said, "You are unreasonable!"
"Me?" Dai Ruyan responded with blinking eyes: "I never secretly sent people to sneak into Jinzhou, nor did I let people wait for an opportunity in the court."
The soft fingertips rested on Gong Yu's brow, and Dai Ruyan kissed Gong Yu's brow lightly, with dark eyes that could not see the end, and whispered: "I never cared about Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu Are you still angry with me?"
Gong Yu doesn't know how to get along with Dai Ruyan who is both soft and hard. If he is someone else, he must be tearing his face, and the sword will meet.
But it happened to be Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu's every move was like going around under her nose.
The governor of Jinzhou can be regarded as the person Gong Yu chose to do things more quickly, and he was forced to report illness and return home on his first day in office.
Fortunately, it was the manpower arranged by Gong Yu. I dare not imagine that if it was someone else, Dai Ruyan would have directly killed him.
Gong Yu lightly stroked Dai Ruyan's cheek with her palm and responded: "Recently, the court has started to mention the issue of heirs again, isn't Ayan thinking about it?"
If there is a child, maybe Dai Ruyan will become more gentle, and will not concentrate on studying the affairs of Jinzhou.
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand, lowered her head, kissed the palm of her hand and said with a smile: "Which minister has the courage to raise an heir, why don't Xiao Jiu speak out?"
amount……
This was just made up by Gong Yu, and now no one in the court dared to mention the matter of heirs accepting concubines.
The lie was seen through at a glance, Dai Ruyan didn't pursue it anymore, but just drew closer, pretending to kiss him.
The kiss landed on the corner of Gong Yu's mouth, Dai Ruyan smiled and raised his head slightly, looking down at Gong Yu who was lying flat and said: "Don't you like it?"
The black cat on the other side was squatting on the low table and looking at it, calling softly a few times.
"Later, the palace people will come in to light the lamps." Gong Yu said avoiding Dai Ruyan's gaze.
"It's okay, they don't dare to disturb us without authorization." Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's cheek lightly in his palm, only now did his eyes become eager, as if Gong Yu had become something in her palm.
Really not a good feeling.
The hall was already plunged into darkness, and the little light outside the window could barely illuminate one side of Dai Ruyan's face.
Gong Yu pursed her lips and looked at Dai Ruyan and said in a low voice, "I don't want to today."
Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips, looked at Gong Yu with puzzled eyes and asked, "Don't want to? Or don't want to?"
"I'm a little tired."
"Then Xiao Jiu just lie down obediently." Dai Ruyan said this, picking up Gong Yu's belt with her fingertips, apparently unwilling to let it go.
Gong Yu took Dai Ruyan's hand and responded, "I don't want to."
"Don't want to?"
As if this sentence was so difficult to understand, Dai Ruyan stared at Gong Yu in a daze, but the smile on his lips didn't stop and he just asked in a daze: "Didn't Xiao Jiu love to be close to me the most in the past?"
"Ayan, are you really Ayan?"
"Of course I am Ayan, just Xiaojiu's Ayan."
"But Ah Yan has never been so strong, and even cooperated with ministers to suppress my new policy." Gong Yu asked calmly.
Dai Ruyan rested her fingertips on the corner of Gong Yu's mouth and responded softly: "It's naturally because of the punishment for Xiao Jiu."
"Because I burned the side hall?"
"Silly, the matter of the side hall has long been over." Dai Ruyan smiled, bent his ears and listened to Gong Yu's heartbeat, and said, "I'm just punishing Xiao Jiu to secretly send people to investigate the Jinzhou matter."
As the hall became darker and darker, Gong Yu couldn't see Dai Ruyan's expression clearly, and could only see the outline vaguely.
"I am the emperor, why can't I investigate the Jinzhou matter?"
"Because I'm afraid that Xiao Jiu will spoil my affairs again." Dai Ruyan lowered his head and kissed Gong Yu's slightly cool palm and said, "Why are Xiao Jiu's hands so cold?"
"Ayan, do you still remember the last time I mentioned your sister?" Gong Yu asked while holding Dai Ruyan's hand.
Dai Ruyan slightly raised her head and responded: "Well, why did Xiao Jiu think of that again?"
"I'm wondering if Ah Yan really doesn't remember what you saw in the small attic?"
"Why can't I understand what Xiao Jiu said?"
Gong Yu blinked slowly and said, "Ayan, you chose to forget, right?"
"That black cat died in Ayan's arms, right?"
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand tightly between her fingers, breathed heavily and said, "Xiao Jiu, stop talking!"
"Is Ayan going to kill me too?"
"No, as long as Xiao Jiu is obedient, no one can hurt Xiao Jiu."
Gong Yu sat up, looked at Dai Ruyan who was lying on her side and said in a low voice: "I remember Ayan said before that my personality is the easiest to manipulate."
"Now that Ayan holds the power in the court, as the noble queen of the palace, and has soldiers and horses in her hands, is there anything she can't be satisfied with?"
Dai Ruyan stretched her arms, resting her head on Gong Yu's knees, which was exactly the same as Gong Yu's favorite little trick in the past.
"Does Xiao Jiu also think that I am a greedy person?"
Gong Yu didn't answer, Dai Ruyan said to himself: "Power and soldiers are just tools for control, doesn't Xiao Jiu understand my intention?"
"I don't know."
Dai Ruyan leaned close to Gong Yu, listened to Gong Yu's heartbeat and responded: "Perhaps these were important to me in the past. If I want to control everything, I need the power of the sky, but now I have Xiao Jiu, these powers It is no longer that important, so I am willing to let Xiao Jiu share part of it."
"Longevity is more attractive than power. Xiao Jiu's pure nature naturally never imagined me to be so long."
"I don't understand what Ayan is thinking at all." Gong Yu looked down at Dai Ruyan and said, "Isn't everything more important than now?"
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu and said with a smile, "Silly, of course forever is more important than now."
"Xiao Jiu must not know that I used to never want to live forever, because living and dying are equally boring in my eyes."
For such words, Gong Yu didn't even know how to react.
In the past, I only thought that Dai Ruyan seemed to be wearing a mask, and her gentle words and deeds were learned and imitated. At that time, Gong Yu worked hard to make Dai Ruyan more self-sufficient.
But now when Dai Ruyan openly opened herself in front of Gong Yu, Gong Yu suddenly found that the mask was just for Dai Ruyan to deal with the boring things.
She wanted to take off that mask, and she could take it off anytime.
Dai Ruyan sat up slightly, wrapped her arms around Gongyu, leaned against Gongyu trustingly, lightly pecked Gongyu's lips, and said softly: "Xiao Jiu, you are mine, and I am yours. Wouldn't it be better if we could add the word forever?"
Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan who could no longer see her face clearly, and couldn't help feeling cold in her palms, and said hesitantly, "It can't be done."
"What can't be done?"
"I asked people to study all kinds of ancient books about the art of longevity, from
At the beginning, Gong Yu was thinking, if Gong Liang had the imperial edict left by the former emperor, why would Dai Ruyan let him live.
After all, to some extent, eradicating the roots is Dai Ruyan's style of work.
Until now, Gong Yu couldn't help guessing that maybe it was because of Gong Liang and the old general Ji that there might be a possibility of cooperating in this rebellion.
So Dai Ruyan kept this move, in order to let General Ji come out of the impregnable Jinzhou city defense as quickly as possible.
Thinking about it this way, one has to guess how far-reaching Dai Ruyan's layout is.
However, the heavy blow in the heart caused severe pain, and Gong Yu had to lie on the bed to recuperate for more than half a month.
Even the early court was temporarily ruled by Dai Ruyan. Gong Yu watched the chain connecting his wrists extend to the outer hall, and slowly pulled.
The other end was gently pulled back, and the hall was empty, not even a single palace attendant.
Gong Yu got up carefully and poured a cup of tea to drink, while the parrot beside him called loudly: "Xiao Jiu... Xiao Jiu..."
"If you scream again, I'll burn you in soy sauce." Gong Yu walked up to the parrot, put the food on it, and sighed, "Whether I can get out of this palace or not is a question."
When the morning was over, Dai Ruyan came back from the outer hall, Gong Yu was lazily nestled in the recliner, the slightly open window sill was full of dazzling sunlight.
Dai Ruyan walked to the side, raised his hand and gently closed the window and said with a smile: "Woke up so early today?"
Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and asked, "Why didn't you let me go out?"
"What are you going out for?" Sitting aside, Dai Ruyan put his palm lightly on Gong Yu's wrist and said in a low voice: "It's hot outside, Xiao Jiu is the most likely to feel uncomfortable in the past, it's better to stay indoors. "
"But my heart doesn't hurt much anymore."
"Really?" Dai Ruyan said, raised his hand to pick up the ointment beside him and said, "Let me see."
Hey?
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan defensively and said, "I should have seen it myself."
Dai Ruyan opened the ointment and said, "If the bruise is still there, you have to take good care of it."
"I can take the medicine myself."
"It's okay, I want to see how Xiao Jiu's injury is."
The hall was very quiet, Dai Ruyan's eyes were as calm as water, Gong Yu always felt that there was something strange in these words, but he couldn't find anything.
The belt was gradually untied, and the cool ointment felt a little cool when applied, Gong Yu blushed and looked sideways at the bright window illuminated by the sun.
The soft fingertips seemed to stay very slowly on purpose, Gong Yu bit her lips slightly and did not speak, so as to avoid misunderstanding.
Dai Ruyan stopped suddenly, the light in front of her eyes was suddenly blocked, Gong Yu stared blankly at Dai Ruyan who was kissing her.
Until the distance was widened, Dai Ruyan leaned close to him, staring at Gongyu with tenderness, the rouge on her lips was gorgeous and eye-catching.
"Little Nine..."
"Ah."
His eyes were suddenly covered by the belt, Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's cheek with his palm and said in a low voice: "Hey, don't move around, I'm afraid of hurting you."
Afterwards, a delicate kiss quietly fell, which made Gong Yu a little confused for a moment, why did Dai Ruyan suddenly become so enthusiastic?
A small sound in the empty hall can be heard clearly, and the crisp sound of chains in the inner hall from time to time rang like a tinkling bell.
Even the whispered begging for mercy covered by the sound of the chain was quietly amplified.
In the afternoon, the sound of cicadas outside the window resounded like thunder, and when Gong Yu woke up exhausted, the belt in front of her eyes had not been torn off, but when she was about to stretch out her hand, Dai Ruyan grasped it lightly.
Gong Yu called out in a slightly low voice: "Ayan?"
The light kiss that quietly fell on the corner of the mouth was very gentle.
"Will you not sleep again?" Dai Ruyan asked in a low voice, wrapping Gong Yu lightly with his arms.
"Don't sleep."
Dai Ruyan next to him seemed to raise his head slightly. Although Gong Yu couldn't see it, she still tilted her head subconsciously.
Until the belt in front of him was untied, Dai Ruyan's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were bright and moving.
Gong Yu inexplicably became a little shy, squinted her eyes and hid in the thin blanket, gently touched Gong Yu's cheek on behalf of Ruyan's fingertips, rubbed Gong Yu's cheek affectionately and said: "Little Jiu Zhenxiang."
Isn't this what Gong Yu loved to tease Dai Ruyan most in the past?
Is it karma?
"You... didn't you say that it's not suitable in broad daylight?" Gong Yu hid in the thin blanket and asked with a blushing face.
Dai Ruyan got into the blanket, pecked Gong Yu's cheek lightly a few times and responded, "Isn't this the night?"
"Ayan, you have turned bad." Gong Yu said with her lips tightly pressed together.
"Where is it broken?" Dai Ruyan asked lightly, pulling away the thin blanket covering the two of them.
Gong Yu turned her head to see the robes scattered on the floor, her face was even redder, and her lover complained: "Everything is bad, and they always lie to me. Obviously, I am ready to go wherever Ayan wants to go, but Ayan has been doing it all day long." Don't let me out."
Dai Ruyan lightly pressed the corner of Gong Yu's pouting mouth with her fingertips, raised her arms to encircle Gong Yu and said carefully: "But no matter how bad I am, I'm still a bad guy who only likes Xiao Jiu."
"I don't care, I have to go out tomorrow, otherwise I will be bored if I stay in the palace all day." Gong Yuman said seriously.
For a while, Dai Ruyan didn't make a sound, just pecked Gong Yu's cheek lightly.
Gong Yu was very blocked in her heart, so she avoided Dai Ruyan's closeness.
"Okay, but Xiao Jiu can't make any more troubles." Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's brows lightly with his fingertips and muttered.
Probably this can be regarded as the success of soft grinding and hard foaming.
In order to prevent the cunning Dai Ruyan, Ban Yue Gongyu stayed honestly in the gazebo at first.
It wasn't until one day that Dai Ruyan was busy dealing with the memorial and didn't have time to come to the gazebo with Gong Yu for dinner, that Gong Yu quietly rushed to the side hall.
When the soldiers guarding outside saw Gong Yu, their feet softened and they hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't try to go inside again."
"It's okay, I have the queen's permission this time."
The officer was dubious and sent someone to question the empress, Gong Yu didn't wait for him, and went straight into the hall.
Then Zhao Anyue seemed to sense Gong Yu's approach and said with a smile: "I thought you were locked up like a pet by Dai Ruyan."
Gong Yu stopped by the door and responded, "I've come to ask you something."
"Strange, why didn't you ask Dai Ruyan?"
"The flower of eternal life, are you voluntary?"
Zhao Anyue burst out laughing suddenly, the vines on the wall suddenly grew rapidly, even reaching in front of Gong Yu, but stopped abruptly.
"How can there be any voluntary or involuntary?" Zhao Anyue responded in a low voice: "I, I never thought of being able to marry the flower of eternal life, and Dai Ruyan naturally didn't think of it either."
"I said long ago that you are not suitable for Dai Ruyan. When I can live closely with the Flower of Eternal Life, Dai Ruyan will definitely look at me with admiration."
"You are crazy, to Dai Ruyan, you are just a tool."
These words seemed to anger Zhao Anyue. The oncoming rattan was full of aggressiveness. Gong Yu subconsciously took precautions, but she didn't expect that the rattan seemed to be quite afraid of herself, so she couldn't help stretching out her hand hesitantly. The vines suddenly avoided.
Zhao Anyue kept waving the cane angrily, but she could only avoid it in the end, Gong Yu couldn't help asking curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
"Dai Ruyan gave me a ban, and I can't kill you!"
Gong Yu looked at the more lush vines and branches in the hall, and even the blooming flowers in the center of the hall became more eye-catching.
"Zhao Anyue, don't you... don't you realize that you are no longer a human?" Gong Yu asked the inside of the hall.
"To gain eternal life, I am no longer a mortal body, but now I am more powerful than before."
"Your flesh and blood are being absorbed by these things, and one day you will be swallowed up."
"Even if I'm swallowed, I can live forever, Gong Yu, are you jealous of me?" Zhao Anyue suddenly smiled.
The laughter echoed in the hall, and Gong Yu felt that Zhao Anyue was really hopeless.
Dai Ruyan's obsession with the Flower of Eternal Life must be because of Zhao Anyue's weird combination with the Flower of Eternal Life, so she had that absurd idea.
Gong Yu held the sword and walked forward slowly, the vines unconsciously backed away, Zhao Anyue stopped smiling and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Kill you, Ayan will stop."
"Gong Yu, do you think you can kill me with a sword?" Zhao Anyue shook her head and said, "I'm already immortal."
"What's more, who do you think created me?"
Zhao Anyue said proudly, "Dai Ruyan will not allow you to destroy me."
"The sword may not kill you, but there is always another way."
"You can't kill people."
Gong Yu stopped and asked, "Why?"
"Because you don't have killing intent in your eyes." Zhao Anyue blinked and smiled, "The Flower of Eternal Life is so harmful, but I can coexist with it. It is obviously impossible for you."
"Ten years later, you will die of old age, but I will still live and be by Dai Ruyan's side."
"You seem to enjoy the pleasure of eternal life."
"Yes, do you know that the blood I drink every day is from Dai Ruyan?" Zhao Anyue smiled madly in her eyes, "You don't understand how much she poured into me, the charm of eternal life is unstoppable."
Gong Yu pressed the sword in Zhao Anyue's neck and said, "You are crazy."
"I can't die, don't you understand?"
"Really?" Gong Yu withdrew her sword, stared at Zhao Anyue and replied, "Do you know how the Flower of Eternal Life in Jinzhou was destroyed?"
Zhao Anyue asked with puzzled eyes, "What do you want to say?"
"You see, you don't know anything, and you just want to live forever." Gong Yu shook his head and said, "You have become the carrier of the flower of eternal life, and you will definitely be used to smelt the immortality elixir in the future. Can you still live?"
"It is impossible for Dai Ruyan to destroy me!" Zhao Anyue scolded angrily, "I am the only one who succeeds. If she destroys me, if she fails, there is no room for recovery."
The sword in Gong Yu's hand gently cut off the branches and leaves growing from Zhao Anyue's body and said, "Didn't you hear the gunfire outside?"
Zhao Anyue stopped by the window and asked, "What's going on outside?"
"The poisonous people of Jinzhou are besieging the capital. This is the artillery fire used to deal with them."
"Golden State?"
"Yes, you should know that Jinzhou is the most suitable place to cultivate the flower of eternal life. At that time, will you only be needed?" Gong Yu waved his sword and walked towards the blooming flower in the palace and sighed: " Can you still laugh now?"
"Impossible, General Ji is strictly guarding the Golden State, how could it be possible for someone to occupy the Golden State!"
Gong Yu waved the sword, and the delicate flowers fell down one after another, as if a magnificent massacre, the ground under the flowers was covered with dark blood.
"These flowers were cultivated by Dai Ruyan himself."
"So what?" Gong Yu seemed to be walking in the open wilderness, and when she came back to her senses, the flower bush had already been destroyed.
But after a while, these flowers grew again, Gong Yu looked at it in shock, only to find that these flowers were even longer and more lush than before.
It's just that this flower seems to be like a human being, it can actually move, and the thorns on the stem are like fangs, as if a layer of skin can be torn off with a slight touch.
This extremely aggressive appearance is completely different from the delicate and beautiful flowers just now.
Gong Yu tightened the sword in her hand and muttered: "What kind of monsters are these?"
Zhao Anyue sneered and said, "You have to know that we monsters were all bred by Dai Ruyan."
"How is it? Do you still think that Dai Ruyan is the Dai Ruyan you know?"
The hall was brightly lit, Gong Yu looked sideways at Zhao Anyue who was lying there, who was neither human nor ghost, and said: "The flower of eternal life in Jinzhou was destroyed by fire, do you know that?"
"What do you want to do!"
"I don't want to do anything." Gong Yu put down his sword wearily, leaned against the beam and replied, "I just want Dai Ruyan to live a stable life, instead of letting the flames of war rage for this kind of thing."
When Dai Ruyan was busy deploying the guards of the capital during the hot summer, the little eunuch outside the hall rushed in and shouted: "Empress, Your Majesty set fire to the southeast hall!"
Dai Ruyan stopped the pen in her hand and asked, "Tell me again, where is it?"
The little eunuch knelt down on the ground full of fear and replied: "A side hall in the southeast corner of the palace."
"Quick! Get someone to put out the fire!"
"Yes! The servants are going now!" The little eunuch crawled away from the hall.
Only Dai Ruyan was left in the hall, and there was a sudden noise in the empty and silent hall, the piled memorials had been overturned to the ground, and even the inkstone was overturned.
The palace people waiting outside all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, until Dai Ruyan came out of the palace, followed closely behind.
The sky was full of smoke and fire, and the eunuchs were busy working non-stop, and the fire in the entire southeast side hall was astonishing.
In summer, when the sky is dry and things are dry, it is easy to catch fire. Gong Yu leaned against the wall and watched the flames engulf the entire side hall until the beams began to collapse.
The palace people were too afraid to enter, so they had to stop aside to try their best to prevent the fire from spreading to other palaces.
When Dai Ruyan arrived, Gong Yu's face was aching from the flames, and a group of palace people knelt down to salute, leaving Gong Yujing standing aside.
You can even vaguely hear the sound of the wooden beams collapsing in the side hall. Dai Ruyan rarely chooses to ignore Gong Yu, but this time Dai Ruyan walked straight in front of Gong Yu, his eyes were cold and hurtful.
The group of people behind did not stop, Gong Yu walked back alone with the sword in his hand, and he could still see the smoky smoke far away from the side hall.
The fire was not extinguished until night, and Dai Ruyan kept watch until the night, and the guards stood in front of the burned ruins.
The vines have been scorched, not to mention the blooming flowers in the temple were burnt to ashes.
Dai Ruyan looked around, her eyes fixed on Zhao Anyue who was barely breathing.
"Can you still talk?" Dai Ruyan stopped beside Zhao Anyue holding a sword.
Zhao Anyue had already become one with the vine branches, and the flames burned most of her body into coke. Almost half of her body could not move, and she called out in a hoarse voice, "Give me...blood..."
"What did you do to make Xiao Jiu want to destroy you."
"I...didn't do anything." Zhao Anyue asked, "Are you abandoning me?"
"You can't be transported to the Golden State to recover like this."
"It's... cruel."
Zhao Anyue blinked and smiled, "I'm your only... success carrier."
Dai Ruyan frowned and replied: "You are just an unfinished experiment."
"No wonder Gong Yu said that she is tired of living with a monster like you."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The sword in Dai Ruyan's hand sank into Zhao Anyue's abdomen.
"Didn't you never know that she always thought you were a monster like me?"
Zhao Anyue couldn't breathe and said, "She told me personally that she would kill you, so she will never let you develop the longevity medicine."
Dai Ruyan turned the hand holding the sword lightly, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he murmured: "Impossible."
"It's ridiculous. You want to live forever with her, but she wants to kill you with her own hands."
The sword was pulled out suddenly, Zhao Anyue stopped in pain, before she could recover, the sword fell again, Dai Ruyan smiled and said: "You lied to me."
"Anyone in this world might want to kill me, but Xiao Jiu is the only one who can't. Do you know why?"
The sword that hadn't entered the heart stood quietly, and Zhao Anyue had no other movement, only Dai Ruyan pulled out the sword numbly, and stabbed hard again.
"Because Xiaojiu loves me, she said she will love me forever." Dai Ruyan threw the sword aside with empty eyes, and said with a raised mouth: "You dare to sow discord, you really deserve to die."
This is like a side hall in ruins, like a tomb.
In the middle of the night, Ruyan hadn't come back yet, and Gong Yu sat alone in front of the low table where the food was set.
When Dai Ruyan hurried into the hall, the complicated headgear made a crisp sound due to her hasty steps.
Gong Yu just stretched out his hand to lift the tile and said to himself: "If Ayan doesn't come back, I'm going to starve to death."
However, no response was received, Dai Ruyan just stood quietly in front of Gong Yu, as if examining a criminal.
Regarding this kind of treatment, Gong Yu pretended not to see it, put a portion of fish soup in front of Dai Ruyan, and then took a small sip of it herself.
The atmosphere was inexplicably weird. After drinking a bowl of fish soup, Gong Yu ate some cold chicken with rice.
For a moment, there was only the slight sound of wooden chopsticks and dishes in the hall. Dai Ruyan stepped forward suddenly, and when Gong Yu didn't react at all, the food in front of him was swept to the ground.
The sound of dishes breaking and breaking broke the oppressive silence. Dai Ruyan approached, holding Gong Yu's cheek in his palm, his eyes were full of anger and puzzlement, and asked in a low voice: "Why did Xiao Jiu destroy What about our future?"
There was even a hint of sadness and disappointment in the words.
Gong Yu wanted to distance herself, but found that there was no room for resistance.
"That's not our future."
"Why do you want to destroy it?" Dai Ruyan slowly grabbed Gong Yu's neck with his hands, as if he would lose control in the next moment.
The feeling of being restrained made Gong Yu feel a little uncomfortable, she stretched her arms to push Dai Ruyan away.
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with red eyes and said, "Why doesn't Xiao Jiu want to believe me?"
Breathing became more and more uncomfortable, Gong Yu had to reach out urgently to grab Dai Ruyan's wrist, and escape from the confinement while Dai Ruyan was relaxed.
Gong Yu hurriedly distanced herself and asked, "Ayan, are you... going to kill me?"
"Xiao Jiu, you said you loved me." Dai Ruyan slowly moved closer, but there was loneliness in his eyes.
In order to prevent being attacked again, Gong Yu got up to avoid Dai Ruyan's approach and replied: "I love you."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu puzzled and said, "Then why do you want to destroy our future?"
Gong Yu kept vigilant all the time, for fear that Dai Ruyan would suddenly take out a dagger like before in the next second, it would really be life-threatening.
"Our future will be fine even without the flower of eternal life."
"It's different." Dai Ruyan approached step by step, and said with a very serious expression: "Xiao Jiu cruelly destroyed the Flower of Eternal Life, in fact, she didn't want to be with me forever, did she?"
"Nothing." Gong Yu stopped and explained: "Zhao Anyue said that Ayan used her own blood to raise her, I can't accept it."
Dai Ruyan stretched his arms and hugged Gong Yu lightly and said in a low voice, "Silly, it won't take much blood."
"Why doesn't Ayan understand that anyone who takes the flower of eternal life will have no good results, why do we take risks?"
"Wouldn't Xiaojiu be willing to take this little risk to gain eternal life?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yunian with hopeful eyes and said, "How many people dream of immortality, why doesn't Xiaojiu want it?"
Because Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand, Gong Yu saw the gauze wrapped around Dai Ruyan's arm.
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan distressedly and asked: "Ayan, did you hear the gunfire outside?
"The common people could live and work in peace and contentment, but now they are devastated by the flames of war, and even the entire palace is under the minions of other countries. Ayan, do you really care about nothing?"
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly and replied: "The flames of war will never stop. As long as there are people, there will be disputes. If there are disputes, there will be wars. This is inevitable for everyone."
Gong Yu looked sideways at the flickering candle and said, "Is it like what we are doing now?"
"Of course not." Dai Ruyan let go of his hands and explained: "I will not have any disputes with Xiao Jiu, as long as Xiao Jiu is obedient and stops messing around, I can naturally let the past go."
"What if I'm not obedient and I'm going to mess around?"
Immediately deadlocked, Dai Ruyan stared at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Jiu will be punished."
Gong Yu wanted to break free but found that Dai Ruyan had fastened the chain again, Dai Ruyan lightly rubbed Gong Yu's brow with her fingertips and comforted her: "I'll forget about Zhao Anyue, Xiao Jiu, don't lose your temper."
"Am I messing around?" Gong Yu pulled away from her and was so angry that she couldn't even speak.
Every time Dai Ruyan took a step closer, Gong Yu took a step away, and the two were at a stalemate across the long chain.
"Xiao Jiu, are you avoiding me?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with his fingertips wrapped around the chain.
"I'm angry now, and I don't want to talk to you."
"Just now, I lost my mind for a while, let me see if your neck is hurt?"
Gong Yu paused hesitantly and said, "It's okay, it's just that you were a little scary just now."
Dai Ruyan approached slowly, looked apologetically at Gong Yu's already red and swollen marks, stretched out his hand and lightly held Gong Yu's hanging hand and responded: "Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
It seems that Zhao Anyue's matter just turned around, Dai Ruyan didn't mention it at all, and Gong Yu couldn't guess whether Dai Ruyan would have another trick.
After a few days like this, Gong Yu went to court, although Dai Ruyan did not stop him, but if there is no Dai Ruyan's permission to issue an edict, even if Gong Yugai passes down the imperial seal, the edict still cannot be implemented.
Whenever this time comes, Gong Yu will anxiously take the memorial to find Dai Ruyan.
"Since General Ji led the rest of the poisonous people to flee in a hurry, why didn't they open the city gate?"
Dai Ruyan drank tea and responded: "The pile of corpses outside the city gate will take some time to clean up. Moreover, General Ji has thrown too much poison gas outside. Once the city gate is opened, if infected people are brought in, the people inside the capital may be killed." None were spared."
Gong Yu sat on the side and said: "Then send a doctor to go outside the city for treatment, otherwise the people outside the city will only have a dead end?"
"The poison set by General Ji is a poison in the world, and the infected people can only die."
"What does A Yan mean by just sitting idly by?"
"It's not just ignoring it, it's just that the war has just ceased now, and all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have been dispatched. If there is chaos in the capital at this time, has Xiao Jiu ever thought about the consequences?" Dai Ruyan put down the tea in his hand and responded.
Gong Yujing sat aside, put down the memorial in his hand, thought for a while and said: "Ayan sends back the guards of Jinzhou, and there will be enough people in the capital."
"No."
"why?"
Dai Ruyan reached out to pick up some of the ones on the side and replied: "The water in the distance can't quench the thirst. I have other arrangements in Jinzhou."
When the conversation came to this point, Gong Yu obviously knew that this would not work in Dai Ruyan.
The hall fell into silence for a while, and the midsummer passed by. The corpses of the death party outside the capital were rotting and smelly, and the poisonous gas was lingering outside.
One is to prevent another large-scale epidemic, and the other is to give peace of mind to the people in the capital.
Even the palace will send several court doctors to wait in turn every day.
The smell in the air was a bit strange, Gong Yu patrolled the messy battlefield from the palace wall of the capital, and behind him was the bustling capital.
When Gongyu returned to the palace in a sedan chair, there was a sudden disturbance in the streets of Duguo, and the sedan chair was knocked to the ground.
The guards escorted him in time, and nothing happened, but the expressions of the people watching the excitement made Gong Yu feel uncomfortable.
Going back to the palace alone, Gong Yu collapsed on the reclining chair tiredly, the sunset outside the window dyed the sky red, and occasionally saw a few rows of egrets flying away.
Or because of the retreat of General Ji, the Sangju Kingdom, which was still on the sidelines, completely withdrew its troops.
Things are looking up, and just because the war is over doesn't mean everything is over.
The rebels in Jinzhou destroyed the city defenses of various counties and counties. Repairing the city defenses required manpower and money. It was originally the time of the autumn harvest. Due to the war, the people fled from their homes. If they could not properly resettle the victims, it would cause future troubles.
Of course, it only takes time to arrange these things slowly, but since Gong Yu burned down the side hall, Dai Ruyan has become strange.
On the surface, he no longer manages the government, but suppresses Gong Yu's new policies everywhere.
When the side hall was burned down, Gong Yu originally thought that Dai Ruyan would give up, but she didn't expect her to intensify.
Ma Gongyu, a man from Jinzhou, didn't put anyone in, and it seemed like Dai Ruyan's dictatorship.
When the chain shattered, Gong Yu guessed that Dai Ruyan had returned.
It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a meowing sound following it, and Gong Yu, who was feeling uncomfortable, turned sideways, and saw Dai Ruyan holding a black cat in his arms.
Dai Ruyan met Gong Yu's eyes, then quietly moved away, his eyes were calm and unfamiliar.
"This cat ran into the hall from nowhere, so I thought that the hall is empty anyway, so it would be better to raise it to accompany Xiaojiu to relieve boredom." Dai Ruyan smiled just right.
Gong Yu pursed her lips tightly and did not respond, only to see the thin black cat lightly jumped down from Dai Ruyan's arm, looking around, the fat rabbit huddled in the corner.
Before the candles in the hall were lit, Dai Ruyan's dark purple dress seemed to blend in with the darkness, Gong Yu looked at the black cat wandering beside Dai Ruyan and replied, "I don't need to , if Ah Yan likes to keep it."
After finishing speaking, Gong Yu lay lazily on the reclining chair, the outside became darker day by day, the heat gradually subsided, and it became a little cold.
Dai Ruyan sat on the side, holding a round fan in his hand and fanning the wind lightly: "To the people below today, the governor of Jinzhou arranged by Xiaojiu has returned home after returning from illness."
Gong Yu tugged at the quilt with her palm and responded: "Well, I see."
"Why isn't Xiaojiu angry?"
"Does Ayan want me to be angry?" Gong Yu still turned her back to Dai Ruyan.
Dai Ruyan lay on his side, his arms lightly wrapped around Gong Yu, and the tip of his nose lightly rubbed Gong Yu's cheek and said softly: "Xiao Jiu is so indifferent."
Gong Yu turned around and looked at Dai Ruyan and said, "You are unreasonable!"
"Me?" Dai Ruyan responded with blinking eyes: "I never secretly sent people to sneak into Jinzhou, nor did I let people wait for an opportunity in the court."
The soft fingertips rested on Gong Yu's brow, and Dai Ruyan kissed Gong Yu's brow lightly, with dark eyes that could not see the end, and whispered: "I never cared about Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu Are you still angry with me?"
Gong Yu doesn't know how to get along with Dai Ruyan who is both soft and hard. If he is someone else, he must be tearing his face, and the sword will meet.
But it happened to be Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu's every move was like going around under her nose.
The governor of Jinzhou can be regarded as the person Gong Yu chose to do things more quickly, and he was forced to report illness and return home on his first day in office.
Fortunately, it was the manpower arranged by Gong Yu. I dare not imagine that if it was someone else, Dai Ruyan would have directly killed him.
Gong Yu lightly stroked Dai Ruyan's cheek with her palm and responded: "Recently, the court has started to mention the issue of heirs again, isn't Ayan thinking about it?"
If there is a child, maybe Dai Ruyan will become more gentle, and will not concentrate on studying the affairs of Jinzhou.
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand, lowered her head, kissed the palm of her hand and said with a smile: "Which minister has the courage to raise an heir, why don't Xiao Jiu speak out?"
amount……
This was just made up by Gong Yu, and now no one in the court dared to mention the matter of heirs accepting concubines.
The lie was seen through at a glance, Dai Ruyan didn't pursue it anymore, but just drew closer, pretending to kiss him.
The kiss landed on the corner of Gong Yu's mouth, Dai Ruyan smiled and raised his head slightly, looking down at Gong Yu who was lying flat and said: "Don't you like it?"
The black cat on the other side was squatting on the low table and looking at it, calling softly a few times.
"Later, the palace people will come in to light the lamps." Gong Yu said avoiding Dai Ruyan's gaze.
"It's okay, they don't dare to disturb us without authorization." Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's cheek lightly in his palm, only now did his eyes become eager, as if Gong Yu had become something in her palm.
Really not a good feeling.
The hall was already plunged into darkness, and the little light outside the window could barely illuminate one side of Dai Ruyan's face.
Gong Yu pursed her lips and looked at Dai Ruyan and said in a low voice, "I don't want to today."
Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips, looked at Gong Yu with puzzled eyes and asked, "Don't want to? Or don't want to?"
"I'm a little tired."
"Then Xiao Jiu just lie down obediently." Dai Ruyan said this, picking up Gong Yu's belt with her fingertips, apparently unwilling to let it go.
Gong Yu took Dai Ruyan's hand and responded, "I don't want to."
"Don't want to?"
As if this sentence was so difficult to understand, Dai Ruyan stared at Gong Yu in a daze, but the smile on his lips didn't stop and he just asked in a daze: "Didn't Xiao Jiu love to be close to me the most in the past?"
"Ayan, are you really Ayan?"
"Of course I am Ayan, just Xiaojiu's Ayan."
"But Ah Yan has never been so strong, and even cooperated with ministers to suppress my new policy." Gong Yu asked calmly.
Dai Ruyan rested her fingertips on the corner of Gong Yu's mouth and responded softly: "It's naturally because of the punishment for Xiao Jiu."
"Because I burned the side hall?"
"Silly, the matter of the side hall has long been over." Dai Ruyan smiled, bent his ears and listened to Gong Yu's heartbeat, and said, "I'm just punishing Xiao Jiu to secretly send people to investigate the Jinzhou matter."
As the hall became darker and darker, Gong Yu couldn't see Dai Ruyan's expression clearly, and could only see the outline vaguely.
"I am the emperor, why can't I investigate the Jinzhou matter?"
"Because I'm afraid that Xiao Jiu will spoil my affairs again." Dai Ruyan lowered his head and kissed Gong Yu's slightly cool palm and said, "Why are Xiao Jiu's hands so cold?"
"Ayan, do you still remember the last time I mentioned your sister?" Gong Yu asked while holding Dai Ruyan's hand.
Dai Ruyan slightly raised her head and responded: "Well, why did Xiao Jiu think of that again?"
"I'm wondering if Ah Yan really doesn't remember what you saw in the small attic?"
"Why can't I understand what Xiao Jiu said?"
Gong Yu blinked slowly and said, "Ayan, you chose to forget, right?"
"That black cat died in Ayan's arms, right?"
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand tightly between her fingers, breathed heavily and said, "Xiao Jiu, stop talking!"
"Is Ayan going to kill me too?"
"No, as long as Xiao Jiu is obedient, no one can hurt Xiao Jiu."
Gong Yu sat up, looked at Dai Ruyan who was lying on her side and said in a low voice: "I remember Ayan said before that my personality is the easiest to manipulate."
"Now that Ayan holds the power in the court, as the noble queen of the palace, and has soldiers and horses in her hands, is there anything she can't be satisfied with?"
Dai Ruyan stretched her arms, resting her head on Gong Yu's knees, which was exactly the same as Gong Yu's favorite little trick in the past.
"Does Xiao Jiu also think that I am a greedy person?"
Gong Yu didn't answer, Dai Ruyan said to himself: "Power and soldiers are just tools for control, doesn't Xiao Jiu understand my intention?"
"I don't know."
Dai Ruyan leaned close to Gong Yu, listened to Gong Yu's heartbeat and responded: "Perhaps these were important to me in the past. If I want to control everything, I need the power of the sky, but now I have Xiao Jiu, these powers It is no longer that important, so I am willing to let Xiao Jiu share part of it."
"Longevity is more attractive than power. Xiao Jiu's pure nature naturally never imagined me to be so long."
"I don't understand what Ayan is thinking at all." Gong Yu looked down at Dai Ruyan and said, "Isn't everything more important than now?"
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu and said with a smile, "Silly, of course forever is more important than now."
"Xiao Jiu must not know that I used to never want to live forever, because living and dying are equally boring in my eyes."
For such words, Gong Yu didn't even know how to react.
In the past, I only thought that Dai Ruyan seemed to be wearing a mask, and her gentle words and deeds were learned and imitated. At that time, Gong Yu worked hard to make Dai Ruyan more self-sufficient.
But now when Dai Ruyan openly opened herself in front of Gong Yu, Gong Yu suddenly found that the mask was just for Dai Ruyan to deal with the boring things.
She wanted to take off that mask, and she could take it off anytime.
Dai Ruyan sat up slightly, wrapped her arms around Gongyu, leaned against Gongyu trustingly, lightly pecked Gongyu's lips, and said softly: "Xiao Jiu, you are mine, and I am yours. Wouldn't it be better if we could add the word forever?"
Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan who could no longer see her face clearly, and couldn't help feeling cold in her palms, and said hesitantly, "It can't be done."
"What can't be done?"
"I asked people to study all kinds of ancient books about the art of longevity, from
