Mostly he followed her way willingly.

When it was almost dusk, the two of them hadn't had lunch yet, the palace people waiting outside dared not enter one after another, so they had to wait outside.

The hall was a little dark, Dai Ruyan woke up slowly and found that the people beside him had already woken up, but their bright eyes looked at this side full of resentment, obviously dissatisfied.

"Ayan!"

"what happened?"

She covered the thin quilt in front of her with her arms, and her hair, which was originally tied up high, was also scattered beside her. The snow-white face set off by the black hair was beautiful.

It's just that her pitiful appearance made Dai Ruyan a little confused, he reached out to caress her cheek, but she hid in it again.

Dai Ruyan approached a little bit puzzled and asked, "Tell me what's wrong?"

"you……"

The words came to an abrupt end, she pursed her lips tightly, the shyness on her cheeks was the same as the touching expression of her cheeks being blush in the bath, which made people unable to move their eyes away.

"I don't want to talk to you." She wrapped herself in a thin quilt and turned her back to Dai Ruyan and said nothing.

But Dai Ruyan, who was confused, didn't know what went wrong, Wei Wei reached out and gently held her loose hair behind her ears, hesitantly said: "Your hair is dry, let me tie it up?"

"Need not."

"Then Xiao Jiu doesn't need dinner tonight?"

"Well, don't eat."

She is rarely so serious, most of the time she is very obedient if she shows softness.

Yi Shi Ruyan felt a little overwhelmed, stopped her hands, got up slightly and changed into a skirt.

After putting her robes beside the bed, Ruyan called the palace servants to come in and serve her.

Through the screen, Dai Ruyan didn't know whether she was awake or asleep, but without the usual peeping gaze, Dai Ruyan was inexplicably not used to it.

The palace servant combed his hair, and the palace servants at the side quietly left after preparing the food, and the hall became quiet again for a while.

Dai Ruyan got up and held the torch and lit the candlesticks in the inner hall one by one. When the hall was bright, the outside of the window was already getting darker.

"Xiao Jiu?" Dai Ruyan went around the screen and saw that the man was still nestled in the bedding and refused to come out, so he could only sit on the side and lightly tugged at the bedding and said, "The food is all set, if you don't eat any more, it will be cold."

But he didn't want her to fall asleep again, without even noticing Dai Ruyan's hand resting on her cheek.

I couldn't bear to wake her up, but today she hadn't eaten anything other than some porridge this morning.

Dai Ruyan had no choice but to call out patiently: "Xiao Jiu wake up."

When the water-stained handkerchief lightly wiped her cheeks, she frowned and slowly opened her eyes, looking at it as if she hadn't recovered.

"Why?" She was about to shrink back into the quilt again, Dai Ruyan quickly put her hands on her cheeks and replied, "Don't sleep anymore."

"I asked the palace servants to prepare your favorite braised fish."

She blinked her eyes, apparently her heart moved: "Okay, I'll get up, but you turn around first."

In the past, Dai Ruyan would look away in embarrassment without her mentioning it, but today she mentioned it like this, which made people even more suspicious.

Dai Ruyan let go of her hand, turned her back slowly, and vaguely heard the small voice behind her, asking in a puzzled way: "In the past, you never minded these things, why is it so strange today?"

"It's not because of Yan."

"Me?" Dai Ruyan bluntly turned his head, but was stunned.

And she hurriedly held the robe in her hands to cover the marks in front of her, her cheeks blushed quickly and said: "Ayan, why did you suddenly turn your head!"

Dai Ruyan blinked lightly, and didn't look away, but frowned slightly and leaned closer and said: "The color of this deep imprint is a bit abnormal, Xiaojiu, let me see it?"

She shook her head and said, "No, I'll just apply the medicine myself later."

"Does it hurt?" Dai Ruyan asked her to apply the medicine when she saw her, thinking it really hurt.

"It hurts." She looked at Dai Ruyan angrily but didn't say anything else.

Probably it really hurt her, Dai Ruyan vaguely remembered that her front was still a little red and swollen, everyone said that the woman was very delicate, but she was so provocative in the bath, Dai Ruyan lost her sense of restraint.

After she changed into a thin robe and tied up her hair on behalf of Ruyan, seeing that there were also spots on the back of her neck, she couldn't help but her cheeks were burning hot, and she felt even more guilty.

The two of them had dinner, and they didn't know if she was hungry or angry, they just buried their heads in eating and drinking soup, and didn't say a word to Dai Ruyan.

Dai Ruyan hesitated a few times, but she didn't know how to say the phrase "give her medicine". Most likely, once she said this, she would definitely refuse.

It wasn't until late at night that she applied the medicine herself and fell asleep tiredly that Dai Ruyan got up and gently untied the belt that she had tied on casually.

She has always been very fair and tender, so the scars are particularly obvious now, Dai Ruyan put the ointment on the palm of her hand and applied the medicine a little nervously.

The hall was silent, but Dai Ruyan felt that her heart was beating too hard, maybe it was because the ointment was a little hot, Dai Ruyan only felt that her palm was very hot.

Even her sleeping cheeks were covered with fine sweat stains, Dai Ruyan was relieved when she put on her clothes again, as if she had done something unseen, she was very cautious.

When she went to court the next day, she still tied her robe by herself. Dai Ruyan saw that she made a wrong button again, so she reached out to tie it again for her and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiumo is angry, I will pay more attention next time." .”

She stared blankly at Dai Ruyan, and responded as if angry: "I won't let you do it again."

But Dai Ruyan naturally didn't mind these things, fortunately she was finally willing to say a word.

After tidying up the dragon robe, she put on the crown by herself, and said as if complaining: "I always felt that when A Yan wanted to get close to me yesterday, it seemed like he really wanted to eat me."

Dai Ruyan smoothed the folds of the robe lightly with her fingertips, her cheeks were reddish in response: "Really?"

"Yes, she is usually gentle and gentle, but she never thought she would really bite me."

"That's not biting." Dai Ruyan avoided her inquiring gaze and responded, "It's just that I didn't pay attention for a while, and I won't in the future."

She stretched out her hand to support the crown and said solemnly: "Ah Yan will not be allowed to get close in the future."

"Why?"

Dai Ruyan looked at her puzzled, and saw her eyes full of slyness and said: "I will be a hunter in the future."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Dai Ruyan to respond, she moved closer and kissed the thin lips of the next generation Ruyan, then turned around and left the inner hall, and rushed to the main hall in a hurry.

hunter?

It wasn't until Dai Ruyan thought for a while that she finally recovered, and it turned out that she was talking about that.

But what is the difference between the hunter and the little white rabbit?

Forget it, if she's happier like this, then let her be, it's not good for her to get angry because of the bath.

It's just that Dai Ruyan never thought that she would be so out of proportion, so it's no wonder that she would be angry, besides, she has always been very afraid of pain, and it may take some time for those marks to heal.

As the days moved forward, it became hotter outside, and even a little hotter inside, Dai Ruyan took care of her and set up an ice basin to cool off, but she still craved iced melons and fruits knowing that her sunflower water was coming, Even put ice cubes directly into the tea and drink it.

So much so that when her sunflower water came, her little face turned pale from the pain. Although Dai Ruyan couldn't bear to blame her, he still quickly tore down the ice basin.

No matter how eagerly she looks around, Dai Ruyan will definitely show no sympathy.

After a few days of hard work, the pain probably disappeared, so she began to deal with the memorial.

Although Dai Ruyan wanted to share some memorials for her, she flatly refused.

Every time at dusk, when she was able to rest for a while, the sweltering wind shook the hanging green curtains, and she lazily fell to the side and read: "Ayan..."

"Ah."

"Can't I have a sip of ice water?"

"No."

Gong Yu silently withdrew the hand that was pulling Dai Ruyan's skirt, and looked at Dai Ruyan who was reading the book, really indifferent!

But what else can Miyagi do?

The group of ministers who were not allowed to build new water conservancy projects did not dare to say a few words in the court after they were rested. It is conceivable how much pressure Dai Ruyan used in secret.

It was also thanks to Dai Ruyan that the water conservancy project was finally put into progress, but he didn't want troubles to keep coming.

In recent days, the minister's notebooks frequently confront Gu Hou, and this Gu Hou is naturally Gu Qing.

At the beginning, Gong Yu accepted Dai Ruyan's suggestion, so she appropriately chose a method of ascending and descending secretly, and seized the military power from Gu Qing.

But he didn't expect that he had cultivated several loyal lieutenants under his command, and they would always ask Gu Qing to return to the barracks.

Even Gu Qing was very prominent in the capital, like spending a lot of money to buy a mansion in the capital, and then held a banquet in it overnight, attracting some people from the world, of course, there were also some of his former lieutenants.

The laws of the palace state prohibit officials from gathering to drink alcohol, especially military generals who are most likely to cause trouble.

After all, no matter how much civil officials make a fuss, it's just an intrigue, but the military generals are all people with military power, and they are so excited after drinking. If someone proposes to rebel and revolt, they may just slap the table. Move the knife.

That's why the court forbade military generals to bring swords into the palace, just for fear of reckless people.

Just when Gong Yu was lost in thought, her cheeks were suddenly pulled lightly, Dai Ruyan lowered her head and looked down at Gong Yu who was lying down and asked softly, "Why are you thinking so lost in thought?"

Gong Yu's eyes fell on the collar, and seeing the red marks that couldn't be concealed, she felt very happy, sat up and responded: "I was thinking about what to have for dinner today."

Dai Ruyan seemed puzzled, turned his head slightly to Gong Yu and said, "Are you hungry now?"

But Gong Yu didn't care about her thoughts at all, she just moved closer and lowered her head to attack lightly.

Dai Ruyan, who was not on guard, protected the troublemaker, pursed her thin lips tightly and remained silent, but the hand that was about to push away also stopped.

Until Gong Yu opened the distance, seeing the bright imprint, she bent her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful."

Even if he hadn't used the bronze mirror to look at it, Dai Ruyan knew it was a prank, and he still seemed to be enjoying it.

"Are you happy like this?" Dai Ruyan straightened her skirt and asked with a slightly red face.

"Happy, it's better than being eaten." Gong Yu replied lazily, leaning on Dai Ruyan.

Dai Ruyan put down the book in his hand, hugged the naughty man in his arms and said in a low voice: "You, are you still angry with me?"

"Yeah, why is Ayan always not allowing me to eat this?"

After listening to this answer, Dai Ruyan realized that the most important thing in her heart this morning was about food, and she couldn't help but be surprised that she was the only one who was too entangled.

Thinking like this, Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's earlobe lightly with his fingertips and said helplessly, "This is all you think about all day long?"

"How about we go to the Summer Palace?"

She jumped to another topic at once, and she didn't find any deep meaning in Dai Ruyan's words.

"Of course you can go to the Summer Palace, but you can't go immediately if you want to go today, it has to be properly arranged."

"Oh."

Apparently, she was just thinking about it for a while, and when she learned that she couldn't go right away, she settled down again.

Dai Ruyan stretched out his arms to gently embrace her and put her back in his arms, as if that was the only way to make people feel at ease.

In summer, she is afraid of the heat, so she doesn't take the initiative to cling to others like in the past, Dai Ruyan still feels it's a pity.

It's just that the prickly heat still drove her crazy like in previous years, Dai Ruyan lowered her head slightly and could see that the nape of her neck seemed to be scratched a little by her again.

"You reached out to scratch again?" Dai Ruyan frowned and poked her cheek with his fingertips.

But she said confidently: "No, I just touched it."

Dai Ruyan didn't believe what she said, he turned his head to look outside and the sky seemed to darken suddenly, guessing that there might be a storm coming.

Even the surrounding wind was much cooler, her frowning brows relaxed, and then she sat up and said to the wind, "Wow, it's suddenly cooler."

"Well, the rain came just in time."

As if the temperature in her arms was also taken away by her, Dai Ruyan straightened her dress, and hesitantly stretched out her hand to hold her hanging hand.

Because of the heat, she rolled up the wide sleeve gown high to reveal her slender arms. Her palms were always cool, but she was still complaining about the heat.

Every time Dai Ruyan holds her hand, he feels that this summer is not difficult.

She turned her head and kissed Ruyan's side face suddenly, her bright eyes were full of smiles and said, "Let's go grill fish tonight."

Grilled fish?

Thinking of the last time she personally roasted a bunch of green vegetables, Dai Ruyan really didn't want her to try.

But whenever she thinks, Dai Ruyan can't bear to refuse, so he can only answer: "Okay."

Then let the imperial chef watch from the side at any time, and it shouldn't make anything that will spoil your stomach.

This heavy rain fell with the dark clouds all over the sky, relieving even the sweltering heat of the entire capital.

Many people in the teahouse and restaurant gathered because of this crowd, but Gu Hou's mansion was rarely deserted.

The servant kneeling by the side hurriedly reported: "Master Hou, the guards at Dali Temple are too strict, none of the people sent out came back alive."

Before the words were finished, the servant's neck suddenly burst into blood, and he stretched out his hand to cover it in pain, and fell to the side without closing his eyes.

Gu Qing sat aside and said: "Destroy his body well, and those who are sent by him to investigate Dali Temple, as long as there are people alive, they will be killed!"

"Yes!"

"Master Gu, calm down!" The other soldier kneeling outside the hall said tremblingly.

"It would be troublesome if she was following her." Gu Qing whispered while playing with darts in her hand, "I thought she would hide her minions when she became a queen, but she never thought that a palace spirit would make her unable to bear it."

"It really makes people hate!"

"Master Gu, what do you mean?"

"She was able to murder the fifth prince and frame the second princess, Gong Ling, for that Gongyu. It's ironic that such an affectionate person kicked me away so unfeelingly!"

The soldier replied: "According to reports from the people under his command, several groups of hidden guards have been sent out from the palace, and they are all secretly rushing to the Sangjiao Kingdom."

"Mulberry Kingdom?" Gu Qing's eyes were full of murderous intent, and she said with a smile: "It seems that she is still dreaming about the longevity medicine."

"Master Gu, shall we..."

"Don't stop her!"

Gu Qing picked up the tea on the side and drank it, and said with a long sigh of relief, "I want to see what she can do with the flower of eternal life?"

"But if the eternal life medicine is real, wouldn't the Empress be more prosperous?"

"If Gong Yu is gone, do you think this longevity medicine is still useful?"

The soldiers' eyes were full of shock and they called out: "Master Gu, you want to usurp the throne?"

"Usurp the throne?" Gu Qing whispered: "She is already crazy, I am doing justice for the heavens!"

When the lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled, it seemed that the dark hall suddenly lit up. Gu Qing, who was wearing armor, had a cautious smile on his face, and the branches and vines extending from his arms surrounded Gu Qing's back, as if he had life. generally.

Gu Qing smashed the teacup aside as if in pain, and hissed, "Is it because I'm not the emperor!"

The soldiers outside listened to the sound inside, stretched out their hands to wipe the rainwater flowing down their cheeks, looked sideways at the servant who had fallen into the rainwater and lost his breath, and couldn't help feeling that this Gu Houye was also a ruthless person.

Although the night's storm was a lot cooler, the lightning and thunder really made people sleep poorly.

In the early morning, Gong Yu took off her blindfold, and it was still gray outside, and the candles in the hall were weak and obviously burning to the end.

Her arms could not move at all and Dai Ruyan was pillowing her. Gong Yu slightly turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth to kiss her closely.

He lightly poked his cheek with his fingertips, or because Gong Yu tossed and tossed for too long last night, it was rare for Dai Ruyan to fall asleep first.

Gong Yu mischievously scratched Ruyan's nose, thinking that in the past Dai Ruyan always got up early, and it was rare to appreciate this peaceful sleeping face.

But Dai Ruyan, who was sleeping soundly, was very quiet, and Gong Yu didn't want to tease her, so she stopped and got up.

First went to the inner room to take a bath and wash up, Gong Yu just put on her robes by herself, although it was a bit inconvenient for her to be alone, but Gong Yu still thoughtfully wanted Dai Ruyan to rest for a while.

After putting on the crown, Gong Yu's cheeks were dripping with sweat, and she picked up a handkerchief beside her and wiped her face.

"Little Nine?"

He wanted to leave the inner hall, but he heard a sound from inside the screen, and Gong Yu circled back again.

Dai Ruyan sat up slightly, covering the thin quilt in front of her with her hands, staring blankly at the approaching Gong Yu as if she hadn't recovered yet.

Gong Yu reached out and raised the bead curtain that was in the way and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Dai Ruyan said in a complaining tone.

"I see that you are still asleep, so I just want you to rest a little longer."

Dai Ruyan blinked and looked at Gong Yu and asked: "Then you are going to go to court now?"

Gong Yu nodded in response: "Yes."

The words stopped suddenly, although the thin quilt could cover Dai Ruyan's graceful figure a little bit, but this beauty just woke up and ordinary people couldn't help it.

"Ayan, why don't you sleep again?" Gong Yu stretched out his hand to caress Ruyan's cheek, and said with a sideways kiss.

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in a daze, as if she hadn't regained her composure, and said, "Well, then you should go to court."

Gong Yu let go and smiled, but Dai Ruyan held her sleeves lightly when she stood up.

"Ayan?"

Dai Ru's face turned reddish and said: "You should come back earlier."

"it is good."

But the robe was still not loosened, it was rare to see Dai Ruyan showing such shyness, Gong Yuwan leaned closer and said: "If Ayan doesn't want me to go to the morning court, then it's okay not to go today."

"Aren't you going?" Dai Ruyan pursed her lips as if she really thought about it and said, "You should go."

Seeing this appearance, Gong Yu couldn't bear to kiss the side of the closest face, stretched out her arms to hug Dai Ruyan and said, "Why is Ayan so clingy all of a sudden?"

Dai Ruyan leaned against Gong Yu lightly, rubbed her forehead lightly on Gong Yu's cheek and said: "It was just a nightmare."

"Nightmare?" Gong Yu's generation Ruyan looked at each other and asked, "About what?"

"It's nothing."

"Really?"

"En." Dai Ruyan responded while avoiding Gong Yu's probing gaze.

Dai Ruyan, who left the inner hall as usual and was lying quietly on the bed, frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling worried.

In that nightmare, she was killed by others, but she was helpless. It was really a disgusting dream.

After freshening up, the descendants sat in the hall alone like Yan, instead of sitting by the window with a book in their hands as usual, but opened a secret door in the hall.

The secret door in the palace was not dug by Dai Ruyan, but Dai's grandmother.

Dai Ruyan stepped into the secret door, stepped into the dark secret passage step by step, and walked straight as if not affected by the darkness at all.

When entering the spacious passage, the hidden guards were waiting by the side, Dai Ruyan looked at the vigorously growing vines in the room, and an old man in Taoist robes was waiting by the side.

"How long?" Dai Ruyan asked with his head turned.

The old man seemed to be a little embarrassed and said: "It must be the purest royal blood of the Sangjiao Kingdom."

Dai Ruyan frowned and replied: "The Queen of Sanggu Kingdom and the Emperor of Sanggu Kingdom are of the orthodox bloodline, but the Queen of Sanggu Kingdom has passed away, so only the princess of Sanggu Kingdom is left."

"That's right, right now there is only the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom."

Emperor of the Sangguo Kingdom?

It's not so easy to catch secretly.

Dai Ruyan thought about it and went back to the palace, the outside of the palace was much brighter, but still a little uneasy.

Or because of the nightmare, Dai Ruyan desperately wanted the elixir of life, as if only the elixir of life could make Dai Ruyan feel at ease.

When the bead curtain in the hall sounded, she came in from outside with a smile on her face, blinking her eyes lightly on behalf of Ruyan to ease her thoughts.

"Ayan, you're awake."

"Ah."

She untied her robe by herself, walked up to her on behalf of Ruyan, stretched out her hand to untie the lace for her and asked, "How is the court today?"

"It's very good. The water conservancy work has been steadily started. This heavy rain will irrigate the long-dry farmland, at least to ensure sufficient water in the short term."

"is it?"

"Ah."

Obviously she was happy, but Dai Ruyan couldn't relax, afraid that she would see something, so he tried to avoid her gaze.

But she didn't want her whole face to be gently held by her. Before Dai Ruyan could react, the delicate kiss fell quietly, making Dai Ruyan completely overwhelmed.

"Ayan..." She read with a smile in her eyes.

"I'm here."

"Why are you not clingy anymore?"

Dai Ruyan hesitated and didn't answer, but quietly looked at her and replied: "Why are you so clingy?"

The corner of her mouth turned up and she said, "Of course it's because I miss Ayan."

She is always the most fluent in saying such words, even she has always been very direct.

But in that dream, she was covered in blood, which made Dai Ruyan so frightened that she was at a loss.

The truth made Dai Ruyan feel scared, but he couldn't see who hurt her. For the first time, Dai Ruyan regretted pushing her to the throne.

If one day in the future he leaves her first, he can't take good care of her and guard her against countless enemies hiding in the dark, what should he do then?

"Ayan, your hands are so cold." She covered Dai Ruyan's drooping hand and said.

Dai Ruyan looked at her as if she was having difficulty breathing, and it took a long time to calm down and smiled, "It's because your hands are too hot."

She opened her eyes and said in confusion: "But Ayan always said that my hands are very cool on weekdays."

"Let's eat first, otherwise the food will be cold."

"It's okay, I'm not worried at all in this hot weather."

It took her a while to eat in peace, and she sipped the soup on behalf of Ruyan without saying a word.

As usual, she was reviewing the memorial at the side, and Dai Ruyan stood by holding the book, and the palace people outside the palace suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, I am waiting to see you."

Gong Yu stopped writing, looked at Dai Ruyan puzzled and asked, "Did Ayan summon him for something?"

Dai Ruyan shook his head and said, "Why did I summon you?"

"Let him wait in the outer hall, and I will go to see him."

"Why don't you let him in?"

"Maybe he came in to see Ayan, so I won't let him see." Gong Yu smiled and kissed the next generation Ruyan.

When the bead curtain sounded crisply, Dai Ruyan felt even more uneasy, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the outer hall.

I saw that she was sitting in the pavilion with Gu Qing, waiting for the guards, and there were even hidden guards arranged by Dai Ruyan in the dark, but even so, Dai Ruyan was still very uneasy.

Entering the pavilion, she looked at this side in surprise, then got up and walked over and asked, "Why is Ayan here?"

Dai Ruyan looked serious but didn't know what to say, then Gu Qing stood up and saluted, his eyes were quite different from those in the past.

"Empress, your complexion is still fine after not seeing you for so many days." Gu Qing said with a smile, and then bowed to leave.

The words and deeds between the conversations were also quite abnormal, Dai Ruyan turned his head to look at the figure of Gu Qing who was leaving in armor, and fell into deep thought for no reason.

The people at the side suddenly turned sideways to block Dai Ruyan's sight and said dissatisfiedly, "Everyone has gone away."

Dai Ruyan calmed down his thoughts, took her hand that was hanging down and responded, "What is Gu Qing looking for you for?"

"It's just talking about handing over the affairs of the barracks, but it doesn't really matter."

"Then let's go back to the palace."

But she held Dai Ruyan's hand and said, "The weather is nice outside, let's stay here later."

"Ok."

In fact, Dai Ruyan has always sent people to investigate Gu Qing, but most of them disappeared.

No body was found and no news was received, it seemed as if his mouth had been silenced.

It is rare to have a storm in summer, and it is natural to be comfortable after the rain. Dai Ruyan asked someone to make tea.

She is afraid of the heat and naturally she doesn't want to drink tea, so she made some fruit tea, which is mostly sun-dried wild fruit, the color looks very beautiful, Dai Ruyan tasted it a few times, but felt a little too sweet.

Seeing that she put a lot of sugar, Dai Ruyan felt as if the tea she was sipping had also turned sweet.

"Ayan, do you want to try it?" She approached with a teacup in her hand.

"Need not."

She drank a big gulp by herself, and the cup of water disappeared, and said vaguely: "It's super delicious."

Even if she said so, Dai Ruyan would not want to try it, after all, there is too much sugar in it.

Reviewing memorials is a tiring task, often she would take a nap, Dai Ruyan knew she was sleepy when she saw her walking over.

"about to sleep?"

"Ah."

She fell on the couch beside her and said, "Ayan, won't you stay with me?"

Dai Ruyan looked sideways at the person who was tugging at the corner of her clothes, raised her hand to press her brow lightly and said: "Well, I don't want to sleep today, I will wake you up when the time comes."

"Ok."

But after a while, she fell asleep with steady breathing, Dai Ruyan reached out and picked up the thin quilt beside her to cover her.

When the sun emerged from the clouds, it was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was very weak, and the accumulated water on the ground beside it had been dried up.

Dai Ruyan reviewed the rest of the memorial, and when he stopped, the surrounding area was already dark.

She woke up in a daze and whispered: "Ayan?"

"I'm here." Dai Ruyan got up and approached the couch.

"It's getting dark?" She frowned and said, "Oops, I haven't finished approving the memorial yet."

"It's okay, I'll review the rest for you."

"Really?"

Dai Ruyan nodded in response: "Well, I saw that you were fast asleep, anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will review for you."

She sat upright and looked in this direction, and said solemnly: "Ayan helps me like this, be careful that I will become a fool."

"Hunk Lord?" Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll support you."

"No, how can I always let Ayan support me?" She stretched out her arms to gently embrace Dai Ruyan and said, "I want to support Ayan too."

Although she is still taller than ordinary women, she is still a woman after all, and she is still somewhat thinner than a grown man.

Dai Ruyan leaned lightly and called out: "Xiao Jiu..."

"Yeah." She lazily yawned in response.

"If one day I'm gone, what will you do?"

She suddenly looked at this side very seriously and responded: "What do you mean you're not here?"

"Why is Ayan not here?"

Dai Ruyan opened the distance slightly, held her cool hand in his palm and said, "If people cannot avoid death, then one day we will be separated."

"Besides, I'm older than Xiao Jiu. If... one day suddenly comes to that time, what will Xiao Jiu do?"

Her eyes seemed to be dull, and suddenly lost the brightness of the past, and whispered: "I don't know."

"But we still have a long time." She held Dai Ruyan's hand tightly, and responded as if she had calmed down: "Ayan, don't worry."

It was obvious that even she herself was afraid of these words, but she still said comforting words.

Dai Ruyan stretched out his arms and hugged her softly, "I'm not afraid."

I am not afraid of death, just like everyone in the world will die after eating, but I am afraid of leaving you alone in this dangerous world.

That's what I'm most afraid of.

Perhaps these words frightened her, she paid more attention to her body than before, and even willing to drink hot tea with her.

This hot summer seems to usher in the hottest time in this cup of tea.

The sky is dry during the summer season, and since the storm, there has not been a drop of rain for a long time.

No matter how busy the court affairs are, she always remembers to eat.

It's just that the heat in the summer is unbearable, and her appetite is not as good as usual. Dai Ruyan stopped her when she saw that there were fine sweat stains on her nose and she wanted to drink hot tea.

"Don't drink it, you are so hot, you might as well drink some water."

"Ayan can drink, so naturally I can too."

Often after such a meal, she would go to the inner hall to take a bath, drink tea on behalf of Ruyan and see the scorching sun outside, she couldn't help frowning, the weather is really unbearable.

In the evening, the heat did not subside, but the warm wind made people feel more uncomfortable.

She was lazily nestled in the pavilion in a thin robe, and when the night shrouded the pavilion, she would light one or two candlesticks on behalf of Ruyan.

The moonlight was shining brightly in the courtyard, and she followed beside, holding a folding fan in her hand and sighing: "The moon is so beautiful tonight."

Dai Ruyan extinguished the fire and sat together on the couch. She leaned over, hugged Dai Ruyan with one hand, and fanned the wind with the other hand and said in a low voice: "Ayan..."

"Ah."

"You are so beautiful."

She foolishly leaned closer, her nose sniffed cutely, Dai Ruyan caressed her cheek with her palm, looked at her and said: "You have lost your appetite recently, and you look thinner."

"It's because the weather is too hot, maybe it will be fine after a while."

"But the iced yogurt you loved to eat in the past, I haven't seen you try it in recent days."

"Didn't Ah Yan say that eating these is bad for your health?"

"But you've been so sluggish all day, I feel even more uneasy." Dai Ruyan even regretted asking her that question that day.

She stretched out her hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand and kissed the palm and said: "It's okay, I still have to practice martial arts and keep fit recently."

The pavilion became quiet for a while, the moonlight slanted into the pavilion, she hadn't slept yet, but tightly wrapped her arms around Dai Ruyan and said, "Why isn't Ah Yan sleeping?"

"Can't sleep right now."

"Can't sleep?" She leaned closer and asked with a smile, "Is it because I can't sleep because of what I think?"

"Yes." Dai Ruyan replied with a suppressed smile.

Then she heard her crisp laughter and said: "Ah Yan deserves it, it's too dishonest."

Dai Ruyan looked at her and asked, "Are you happy?"

"happy."

"Then you will be back to normal tomorrow, okay?"

Only in this way can Dai Ruyan feel at ease.

She blinked lightly and said, "Okay."

When the moonlight fell on her face, Dai Ruyan held her cheek in his hands and kissed her brow, cheek, and finally lightly touched the corner of her mouth.

She stretched her arms around Dai Ruyan and said suddenly: "I can't imagine how I will live without Ayan, so I want to listen to Ayan every day now."

"I know."

Dai Ruyan saw that her clear eyes were full of sadness, as if this sadness also became the sadness in Dai Ruyan's eyes.

Although she took the initiative to get close in the past, but often she would be particularly restless, but today she is very quiet.

Even the falling kisses or caresses, she is focused and gentle, but this makes Dai Ruyan even more reluctant.

Ruyan wakes up in the gray and bright era. There are no windows outside the pavilion, only the green curtains hanging down, so it can't hide any light.

Dai Ruyan calmed down, only to realize that she was still wrapped in her arms and could not move.

She lightly raised her fingertips and tapped her nose, she frowned and opened her eyes slightly, rubbed Dai Ruyan's cheek affectionately and whispered: "Why did you wake up so early?"

"It's getting late, you're going to court later."

She pursed her lips clearly unwillingly, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to go to court."

"Okay, then you can sleep again."

"No." She stuck to her and said, "It's only comfortable for two people to be together."

Dai Ruyan looked at her helplessly, only to see that she kissed the side of the cheek, but still refused to let go.

"Xiao Jiu..." Dai Ruyan could only call out.

She closed her eyes and replied, "Yes."

"Let go of your hand."

"No." She opened her eyes and looked at Dai Ruyan, then raised her head suddenly and asked, "Ah Yan is so energetic every day."

Dai Ruyan replied puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't Ayan still say she was tired last night, so you want me to stop?" She looked suspiciously at Dai Ruyan, apparently not paying attention to the white tenderness that was revealed by her distance.

"Lie down properly." Dai Ruyan avoided his gaze with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

But she refused, and leaned closer and said, "So Ayan is just pretending?"

"Nothing."

"Really?"

Dai Ruyan really didn't know what words to use to cover the probing gaze, and replied with hot cheeks: "How can you pretend that kind of thing?"

"Ayan likes to tease me on weekdays, maybe she can."

"Xiao Jiu, if you say that again, I..."

"How about you?" She tightened her arms and said confidently, "Don't ignore me."

With such a show of softness, Dai Ruyan didn't know what to do for a moment, he stroked her cheek with his palm and whispered: "How can I ignore you?"

"It's just that I was really tired last night. I'm not lying to you."

She moved closer and replied, "Then why aren't you tired?"

"I'm used to getting up early, so naturally I wake up at this hour."

"Ok."

Seeing her answer, Dai Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, lightly poked the corner of her mouth with his fingertips and said in a low voice, "Are you still sleeping?"
