When the night fell, Gong Yu became more and more worried. The Qingling South Plain was the only line of defense. If Gu Qing's remaining party could be killed, the battle would be over here.
He could even go back to the capital before New Year's Eve for a peaceful year, but he didn't want Dai Ruyan to show up suddenly.
Gong Yu thought it was because he hadn't seen her for too long, so he hallucinated out of thin air.
But Qin Hua who was beside him frowned and called out, "Your Majesty, why is the empress here?"
Yes, this is not an illusion, Dai Ruyan came here alone.
She must have come to find her.
"Quick! Prepare the horse for me!" Gong Yu put down the eyepiece in his hand, and Qin Hua at the side hurriedly stopped him: "There are countless fire barrels of medicine densely covered there, it is really impossible to go there!"
Gong Yu calmed down and looked at the soldiers hiding in the forest and said: "If the situation is not right, Mr. Qin can light the line of fire."
"Your Majesty absolutely must not!" All the soldiers shouted anxiously.
Qin Hua stood aside and said, "This is too risky, the Palace Kingdom needs His Majesty."
"I'm not a good emperor, Mr. Qin also knows, doesn't he?" Gong Yu chose two bows, holding a large number of arrows wrapped in kerosene and placed them next to the horses beside him, and stopped:
"Anyone can be the emperor of the palace kingdom. Mr. Qin is a loyal minister loyal to the palace kingdom, so he brought troops to help. In the future, the palace kingdom will be entrusted to Mr. Qin."
"Your Majesty!" Qin Hua looked surprised seeing Gong Yu get on the horse, and quickly called out, "Has Your Majesty ignored the people of the palace kingdom?"
Gong Yu held the rein in her hand and said, "I was not a good emperor, I did everything for the empress."
Guarding the palace country will protect Dai Ruyan from other people's harm, but if Dai Ruyan is in danger in order to defend the palace country, Gong Yu will never stand idly by.
The horses galloped across the plain, Gong Yu was afraid that something serious would happen if he was too late, so he quickly shot an arrow tied with a small fire mine to attract the attention of the other party.
The vines are afraid of fire, but there are fire barrels buried all around, so Gong Yu had to aim at the vines that were swinging towards him.
It wasn't until getting closer that Gong Yu saw Dai Ruyan who was being held hostage. Gu Qing stretched out his hand and the vine rushed towards Gong Yu like an arrow.
When the arrow hit the vine, the vine retreated immediately, and the horse suddenly jumped up high when the vine emerged from the ground, and Gong Yu was forced to fall from the horse's back.
"Gong Yu, you are finally here to die!" Gu Qing commanded all the vines to attack Gong Yu again.
Gong Yu couldn't help being slow for a moment, so he had to dodge again. This bow can shoot three arrows in a row, but there are too many vines, which makes Gong Yu hard to defend against.
Gu Qing approached with a sneer: "It's the end of the battle, why resist?"
"Gu Qing, you are bullying a weak woman and pretending to be a man." Gong Yu responded without his interference while dealing with the vines that kept coming.
Maybe it was Gong Yu's words, the vines binding Dai Ruyan on the side loosened, and Gu Qing spared no effort to attack Gong Yu, only to see several rockets suddenly shot from behind Gong Yu, hitting the several vines.
Gong Yu glanced sideways and saw Qin Hua leading a few soldiers running towards this direction. Many vines were blocked one after another, and the speed of the attack was much slower, so Gong Yu was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is Your Majesty injured?" Qin Hua rushed to this side on horseback and asked anxiously.
"Why did Mr. Qin come here?" Gong Yu shook her head and asked.
Qin Hua responded while shooting an arrow: "I should assist the king in times of crisis. How can I let the king fight alone?"
Although he knew that Qin Hua was a foolish and loyal person, he was still a little moved, the surrounding vines gathered again and Gong Yu wanted to go around to Dai Ruyan and said conveniently: "Mr. Qin, please cover."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Gong Yu drew out her sword and leaned down to move forward quickly. Although the vines grew extremely fast, they were not solid walls, and the sharp sword could still be cut and blocked for a while.
When Qin Hua sent soldiers to attack Gu Qing frequently, Gong Yu quickly cut off the vines behind Gu Qing, reached out and took Dai Ruyan's hand into her arms.
Probably because the vines were too strong, Dai Ruyan's wrists were bruised and purple, Gong Yu hurriedly let go of her hands in distress, hugged Dai Ruyan and called out: "Ayan?"
Dai Ruyan leaned on Gong Yu's cheeks covered with sweat and looked at Gong Yu and responded: "Don't be afraid, he didn't hurt me, he just looked scary."
The two of them hadn't spoken a few more words before the officer could no longer resist, and Qin Hua was also injured.
Gong Yu hurriedly supported Dai Ruyan with one hand, and swung the sword with the other hand to cut off the approaching vines.
It was probably Gu Qing who came back to his senses and hurriedly moved most of the vines towards Gong Yu's side, and even the whole person approached this side.
When the barb on the vine stabbed her arm, Gong Yu stopped in pain, Dai Ruyan hurriedly said, "Xiao Jiu, let me go."
At this time, it is definitely not possible to let go, Gong Yu didn't respond, but just swung the sword vigorously, until the vine snatched Dai Ruyan from Gong Yu's arms.
Gong Yu was busy cutting off the vines that bound Dai Ruyan, but she didn't want the vines on one side to hit her straight.
Dai Ruyan fell to the side, but when Gong Yu was pulled into the vortex by the vines, the dense vines made it impossible for Gong Yu to see the situation outside, and it was even very dark inside, Gong Yu could only distinguish the attack from the sound From which side is the cane struck.
But after all, she was still exhausted, Gong Yu's hands and feet were restrained, and there was a little light on her head, Gu Qing walked up to her and said triumphantly, "You are so capable?"
The barbs on the vine pierced Gong Yu's wrist, sucking Gong Yu's blood like a bloodthirsty locust.
Gong Yu's cheeks turned pale quickly, she looked at Gu Qing in front of her with a smile and said: "If you kill me, I will always live in Ayan's heart, and she will never fall in love with you for the rest of her life."
Gu Qing frowned and said: "It makes sense, so I want you to watch me and Dai Ruyan live forever in pain."
The vine seemed to have stopped sucking flesh and blood, but the blood still flowed unstoppably, Gong Yu took a deep breath in pain and said: "How could Ayan live forever with you, you are already a monster now, she is just an ordinary Man, sooner or later she will leave you."
"It seems that you don't know that she has developed the longevity medicine."
Gong Yu was very surprised to hear the answer, Gu Qing took out the medicine box and shook it in front of Gong Yu: "She has tried so hard to find you, so she came to give you this longevity medicine, which is really enviable ah!"
"But it's a pity that she only prepared two pills, and I've already taken one. Obviously, you two can only have one immortality."
"How despicable!"
Gu Qing moved closer and said: "Gong Yu, I have wanted your life for a long time, how can you sit on the throne, how can you marry her as a wife!"
Gong Yu lowered her head and smiled with the corners of her mouth raised, a sharp dagger popped out from the mechanism on her wrist, cut off the vines wrapped around her wrist, pierced Gu Qing's heart very quickly and said: "She loves me, that's enough. "
Before Gu Qing could react, Gong Yu snatched the medicine box from Gu Qing's hand, only to see that Gu Qing retracted the vines extending from his body as if in pain, and smiled as if he was holding on for nothing: "I'm already immortal. body, how can..."
Gong Yu, who was thrown from a high place, only felt dizzy in his head.
But the eyes gradually became brighter, and Gong Yu saw that the vines that Gu Qing hadn't yet taken back had turned yellow.
The blood sprayed from Gu Qing's mouth was even more frightening, even his glaring eyes, ears, and nose were also dripping with blood.
Dai Ruyan hurriedly hugged Gong Yu who was on the ground, and asked with a trembling voice, "Where are you hurt?"
Gong Yu reluctantly stood up, and replied, "Ayan, don't be afraid, I'm fine."
The few remaining soldiers supported the injured Qin Huahu and stood aside, seeing that Gu Qing quickly turned into a skeleton, they also showed fear on their faces.
But Gong Yu didn't understand that the dagger was not so powerful, and Gu Qing's body could quickly recover from the artillery fire, which led to the fact that even though his subordinates had been wiped out, he was the only one who survived.
How could it suddenly become like this?
Dai Ruyan at the side wanted to walk over, so scared that Gong Yuman grabbed Dai Ruyan and asked, "Ayan, don't go over."
"The longevity medicine is still in his hand." Dai Ruyan said hesitantly.
Gong Yu opened her palm to reveal the medicine box and said, "I just snatched it back."
Seeing that Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to take it, Gong Yu hurriedly withdrew his hand and shook his head, "This elixir of longevity may be some kind of poison, so I can't give it to Ayan."
Otherwise, Gu Qing's strong vitality would be tossed into a dry bone, one can imagine how terrifying it is.
Dai Ruyan showed puzzled eyes and said, "Does Xiao Jiu still not believe in immortality?"
Seeing that Dai Ruyan was going to struggle with this problem again, Gong Yu had no choice but to lean her head sideways, put her hands on her heart and said, "Oh, it hurts!"
"Xiao Jiu, tell me where it hurts?"
"My heart hurts badly."
Sure enough, it's more useful to use bitter tricks.
The military camp was stationed at night, and the prefectures and counties began to rest again. Gong Yu quietly hid the medicine box in her hand, and the provincial Dai Ruyan had other thoughts.
But Gong Yu didn't lie, the injuries on her body were indeed serious, almost two days after Gong Yu fell into a coma.
Dai Ruyanshou yelled worriedly from the side: "If you don't wake up, you should let Xiao Jiu take the longevity medicine."
Gong Yu smiled and said: "I don't want it, there is only one medicine, so it's impossible for Ayan to want me to live alone in the future."
"That's better than you sleeping like this all night."
There was no way to lose too much blood, and Gong Yu didn't want to be so weak, so she finally returned to the capital, and finally enjoyed the warm welcome of the people of Gongguo.
However, when Gong Yu returned to the palace, she was forced to rest by Dai Ruyan, even the early court was exempted.
The court ministers didn't dare to say a word about it, so Gong Yu was happy to take a long vacation.
It was freezing cold in winter, every day Gong Yu was poured countless decoctions by Dai Ruyan, and the whole person looked like a medicine jar.
It was snowing heavily outside, one day Gong Yu pushed open the window and it was white outside, so she invited Dai Ruyan to enjoy the snow together on a whim.
The two of them quietly enjoyed the silent snow in the pavilion, the hot pot in the small stove was still boiling, Gong Yu was a sick person, so she should be treated like a sick person.
"Ayan, I want to eat meat." Gong Yu only moved his mouth a little, and Dai Ruyan dipped some sauce on the hot meat and placed it next to Gong Yu's mouth.
Gong Yu only needs to open his mouth to eat, the beauty is in his arms, and the delicious food is in front of his eyes, this is the day that makes Gong Yu satisfied!
It's just that although this snowfall is later than in previous years, it is still very heavy, and it has never stopped for several days.
Dai Ruyan took a sip of the fish soup, looked at the lazy person lying on the pillow when he was full, and said in a low voice, "Are you full?"
"Well, I ate two plates of meat."
Ever since she entered the military camp, Gong Yu knew what kind of fairy days she had lived.
During the few months in the military camp, because of the war, I didn't even have time to eat a hot meal every day.
Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan who was sipping soup, stretched out her hand and lightly tugged on Dai Ruyan's loose skirt and read: "Ayan...Ayan..."
"what happened?"
"I just wanted to call you."
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, looked down at the suddenly mischievous person, her eyes fell on her hand that was pulling the hem of the skirt, the scar on the wrist was still very eye-catching.
I couldn't help feeling very guilty, put down the soup bowl I was holding in my hand, raised my hand to caress the scar and asked: "I'm afraid this scar will be hard to get rid of."
"It's okay, the men in the military camp are mostly proud of the scars left by their military exploits!"
It was as if she had forgotten that she was a daughter, and she didn't need to go to the battlefield to fight.
Dai Ruyan touched the scar lightly with her fingertips and replied: "But I don't want you to get hurt."
She sat up slowly, kissed the next generation Ruyan's lips that were tight because of guilt and said in a low voice: "Ayan, don't be sad, it was all caused by Gu Qing, I am not angry with Ayan anymore gone."
"Xiao Jiu should be angry."
"I was also angry at first, but then I went to the barracks to collect the love letters from Ayan every day, so I stopped being angry."
"Wouldn't that be too easy to coax?" Dai Ruyan leaned on her and said.
She seemed to think about it for a while and replied: "Yes, but making a robe is very tiring, and Ayan must have worked hard too."
Dai Ruyan held her wrist with her fingertips and said softly, "I'm not tired, I have nothing to do after you leave."
"But Ah Yan managed the court very well, and the ministers were all subdued. Without Ayan's support, this war would not have been so easy to win."
"But Xiao Jiu is the key to victory in this battle. Why does he always give the credit to me?"
She took Dai Ruyan's hand and kissed the back of it, saying: "I didn't fight for merit, all this is for Ayan."
"Xiao Jiu..." Dai Ruyan called out with slightly burning cheeks.
"Ok?"
"Where did you put that elixir?"
Since returning to the palace, she has been avoiding this topic, Dai Ruyan had to ask after searching for no reason.
She shook her head and replied, "I threw it away."
"Throw it away?" Dai Ruyan looked at her incredulously, and said slightly dully: "That is the elixir of longevity that was refined through hard work."
"There is only one on the left and right, does Ah Yan want to live alone?"
"Of course I don't want to, it's just that keeping the elixir can be used for emergencies."
She hugged Dai Ruyan lightly and whispered in her ear: "Gu Qing's death at that time was so horrific. I suspect that it was inseparably related to the longevity medicine. Why did Ayan take the risk?"
Dai Ruyan naturally knew how terrible the situation was at that time, and even the secret guard later reported that the veteran's signs before death were very similar to Gu Qing, and it was inseparable from the longevity medicine.
It was only when Dai Ruyan sent people to investigate the grievances between the emperor and the teacher of the Sanggu Kingdom for decades, that he learned that the death of the Queen of the Sanggu Kingdom was also the same.
That is to say, the longevity medicine is not that the old man made a mistake in developing it, but he has long known what is the medicine that can make people live, and what medicine can make people die.
And during the detailed investigation, Dai Ruyan learned about the secrets hidden by the royal family of the Sanggu Kingdom.
"Xiao Jiu, do you know that there is a strange phenomenon in the royal family of Sangjiao Kingdom since its establishment?"
The person in the arms was lying quietly in the arms and blinked, and replied: "Is A Yan going to tell me a story?"
Dai Ruyan tapped her nose lightly with her fingertips, and replied: "For hundreds of years, the emperors and teachers of the Sanggu Kingdom have not lived to be thirty."
"so what?"
"But that old Taoist is at least nearly a hundred years old."
"Even if Ayan said so, I would not give the pill to Ayan." She said seriously.
"And the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom has lived to be nearly a hundred years old and is still in power. It can be seen that the royal family of the Sanggu Kingdom was also developing longevity medicines, and they even succeeded."
She took Dai Ruyan's hand caressing her cheek and asked, "Why does Ayan think that only longevity can make her feel at ease?"
"It's not that longevity can make me feel at ease, I just want to live forever with Xiaojiu."
"But I'm so clingy to Ayan every day, if it's really a long life, wouldn't Ayan feel tired?" She moved closer and kissed the side of the next generation Ruyan, her bright eyes were as clean as ever.
As if the whole person was stared at by her as if he couldn't breathe, Dai Ruyan's eyes softened a little, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips and said: "I like it."
If one day she stops being so clingy, Dai Ruyan will be very disappointed. He vaguely remembers that when she was not in the palace for a few months and did not reply to Dai Ruyan's letter, Dai Ruyan was afraid that she would be very angry.
He left the palace again like before, and never came back.
As if she hadn't expected it, she blinked her eyes with reddish cheeks, and when her lips were pressed together, the dimples of her lips became more obvious.
"You...why did you kiss me all of a sudden?" She asked in a low voice, she didn't have the boldness and directness just now, but her shy appearance made Dai Ruyan's heart beat a lot faster.
It was snowing heavily outside, but inside the pavilion seemed to be warm and tight, Dai Ruyan tightened his grip on the hand, tilted his head and kissed again, and said with joy in his eyes: "I think, so I kissed like this .”
She was only stunned for a while, then moved closer and kissed back and forth, and said with a silly smile, "A Yan has become more and more seductive recently."
"Does Xiao Jiu like it?"
"I like it, but Ayan can't allow the right girl to do that."
"Of course, except for Xiao Jiu, I will never treat others like this again."
Even if she really didn't believe it, Dai Ruyan believed more and more in the existence of the longevity medicine.
According to the investigation of the secret guards, it was reported that the royal family of the Sanggu Kingdom sent people to sneak into Jinzhou every ten years to seize the immortality pollen.
That is to say, the national teacher also developed a batch of medicine back then, but the emperor and the national teacher both survived, but the queen died.
The emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom married many queens, and the beauty who was rumored to be from the Sanggu Kingdom was the youngest queen of the Sanggu Kingdom even though she was dozens of years older than the emperor.
Perhaps the reason why the national teacher gave Dai Ruyan to refine the medicine was because he also knew that the last step would require the royal blood of the Sanggu Kingdom, and it was not even ruled out that the national teacher wanted to destroy the Sanggu Kingdom.
The young and beautiful queen may have been tricked by the emperor, or the emperor discovered her relationship with the national teacher, so the national teacher simply left the country and was caught by Dai Ruyan's secret guards.
revenge?Or revenge?
Dai Ruyan has no way of checking, but only knows that two of the three elixirs developed by the teacher are poisonous.
If the national teacher wanted to die, he took one poisonous pill, but he knew that the remaining two pills were for Dai Ruyan and her.
The poison in his mind, if he is still alive, Dai Ruyan will really let him taste what it means to be punished by thousands of cuts!
In vain, Dai Ruyan's thought of all these years was ruined by this national teacher, and what Dai Ruyan was even more afraid of was that if the other poisonous elixir was not taken by Gu Qing, the consequences would be disastrous.
The person in her arms was sleeping peacefully, Dai Ruyan tightly encircled her arms, bowed her head and kissed her forehead in fear.
He almost killed her with his own hands.
If that happened, Dai Ruyan would only feel that life would be worse than death, so he would never dare to take her risk again.
On New Year's Eve, her body was much worse than before because of that injury.
She just drank a small glass of fruit wine and fell asleep. Dai Ruyan watched over her for another night until dawn when she slowly woke up, and Dai Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.
But the bottom of my heart was still worried, because of her body, Dai Ruyan asked a female doctor to feel her pulse.
The heavy snow did not stop in the first month, but she didn't take it seriously, and said mischievously: "Checking the pulse every day, I always feel like I am pregnant with A Yan's child."
Dai Ruyan stretched out her hands to straighten her disheveled robes, and seeing that the female doctor had retreated to the outer hall, she got up and found an excuse to leave the outer hall as well.
"How's it going?"
"The thorns of the vine should be poisonous, Your Majesty..." The female doctor stopped speaking.
The poison on the vine flowed along her blood to the whole body, although there were no other symptoms at the moment, it was wearing down her body day by day.
These are the words that the female doctor stopped, Dai Ruyan was alone in the pavilion, and the heavy snow outside fell profusely, making Dai Ruyan feel like a dream in a trance.
Everything was her own fault, Dai Ruyan couldn't even punish others, even if it was Gu Qing, it was because of her appearance that she let her take the risk.
I don't remember how long I stood there, when Dai Ruyan realized that she was dripping tears when her cheeks were slightly cool, she couldn't help but think that she must find the only elixir, maybe it was her last hope.
During the Lantern Festival, she said with great interest that she would go to the Lantern Festival, and Dai Ruyan agreed to her.
It's just that Dai Ruyan hesitated for a long time before agreeing to her when he said that he wanted to change into a daughter's outfit without thinking about her.
In the evening, she began to dress up, rubbing the rouge on behalf of Ruyan, until she picked out a dress but didn't seem to know how to wear it, and sat on the screen for a long time before poking her head out and calling softly: "Ayan, can you Come and help me?"
There was a bit of shyness hidden in those bright eyes, Dai Ruyan got up and went around the screen, and saw her lightly covering her face with her hands and said slightly flushed: "This woman's dress is so complicated, I... can't make it right."
"Come here." Dai Ruyan approached with dark eyes, and tied the tiny tie for her.
It's the first time I've seen her in women's clothes after we met, Dai Ruyan is not used to it, her skin is very fair, wearing that pink dress not only does not look gorgeous, but looks like a lively and lovely girl.
Dai Ruyan couldn't help reminding that she was only in her twenties, not like a cardamom age, but more like a boudoir girl.
When she changed into a dress, she had to comb her hair and put on red make-up, she played with herself, stretched out her hands and dabbed some rouge on the back of her hands and smelled it, her movements were cute and tight.
"Ayan."
"Ah."
She turned her head to look up at this side and asked hesitantly: "Are you not used to seeing me like this?"
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly and replied, "No, Xiao Jiu is very beautiful."
After saying this, she felt a little embarrassed, and turned her head to look at the bronze mirror, very quiet.
It is dangerous for the emperor to go out of the palace in micro-clothes, especially since she is transformed into a woman, it will be even more dangerous if she is discovered.
It's just that Dai Ruyan didn't mention these things compared to making her happy. At night, the Lantern Festival in the capital is very lively, and it seems that even her face is a little blurred.
She still loves all kinds of sweets as before, but she never let go of Dai Ruyan's hand, for fear that the crowd would separate the two.
When the fireworks were in full bloom and the common people raised their heads to watch, her little face was turned red from the cold, but she suddenly drew closer to Dai Ruyan, and kissed the thin lips of the next generation Ruyan under the eyes of so many people.
"You..." Dai Ruyan looked at her helplessly, and the surprised eyes of the people on the side came over one after another.
In order to prevent others from noticing that Dai Ruyan was wearing a cloak and a veil on her face, she didn't want her small gesture to attract so much attention, how could it be called acting low-key?
She stretched out her hand and lightly lowered the veil that had been parted by a small corner, she bent her eyebrows and said without paying attention to the unexpected gaze: "I just want to kiss Ayan."
Even though Dai Ruyan was dressed in such a secret way, she could still be seen as a woman, and the customs of this capital did not allow two women to kiss openly.
But because it was her, Dai Ruyan could only lead her to go elsewhere, avoiding the eyes of others falling on her who was naked, which was really uncomfortable.
In the middle of the night, she was still in high spirits. In the sedan chair, her contemporaries, Ruyan, said that a new banquet would be held in the palace for the next year's Lantern Festival.
Dai Ruyan listened quietly without answering, until the two returned to the palace, she went to bed early after taking a bath.
Even before Dai Ruyan came out from the room, she had already fallen asleep peacefully.
The female doctor once said that she would become weaker and weaker until she could no longer wake up.
It's not like killing Dai Ruyan with a knife, but it tortures Dai Ruyan even more. Watching her weaken day by day with my own eyes is tantamount to scratching one after another in Dai Ruyan's heart.
Dai Ruyan patrolled the hall and couldn't help wondering where she would hide that pill?
She should not throw away the pill at will.
These days, Dai Ruyan searched for any place where she stayed in the past, but still did not find any clues.
When the candle was flickering slightly, the night outside the window was already deep, Dai Ruyan sat aside a little discouraged, pressed the corners of her tight lips with his fingertips and sighed in a low voice: "Where are you going to hide?"
She didn't respond, but fortunately, her breathing was steady, and Dai Ruyan was relieved a lot.
Dai Ruyan untied the gauze and wanted to lie down, but when her hands accidentally touched the talisman bag she was wearing, she realized that something was wrong inside, so she untied it carefully, opened the talisman bag, and inside was the medicine box.
It turned out that she had been carrying it close to her body all the time, no wonder Dai Ruyan could never find it, but she never thought that she would keep it in this lucky bag with her.
The only elixir in the medicine box was safely placed inside, Dai Ruyan looked at the elixir quietly, as if making up his mind, and sat beside the bed.
The candles burning on the other side became brighter and brighter, and the wind outside the window was blowing, making the hall very quiet.
At dawn, the hall was much brighter, and when Gong Yu woke up, she was still a little confused about why she was so sleepy again.
Dai Ruyan was sitting beside the low couch by the window, but she didn't hold a book in her hand, she just seemed to be waiting for something, looking out the window with a serious expression, as if she was waiting for something important to happen.
Gong Yu sat up a little uneasy, got up and approached her and whispered: "Ayan?"
"En." She turned her head to the side, her expression was as calm as usual, but it made Gong Yu more uneasy.
"Why did you wake up so early?"
"I just can't sleep." Dai Ruyan stretched his arm and lightly held Gong Yu's drooping hand in response.
"Can't sleep?" Gong Yu sat aside, looked at Dai Ruyan and said, "Could it be that Ayan hasn't slept all night?"
Dai Ruyan didn't respond immediately, but she didn't give in either. This feeling is really uncomfortable!
Gong Yu touched the talisman bag subconsciously, but found that it was empty, and suddenly panicked.
How could this elixir disappear!
In order to be afraid that Dai Ruyan would do other experiments on the pill, and also afraid that Dai Ruyan would risk his life to test the medicine, so Gong Yu kept it in the close-fitting talisman bag.
"Ayan, did you take that elixir?" Gong Yu asked, holding Dai Ruyan's hand tightly.
Dai Ruyan blinked lightly, pursed her thin lips as if thinking about it, and said, "Yes."
Gong Yu was suddenly very angry!
"You! What are you doing with it?"
"Nothing." Dai Ruyan replied avoiding Gong Yu's probing gaze.
Impossible not doing anything!
If Dai Ruyan hadn't done anything, she wouldn't have taken the elixir. More importantly, she didn't hide it but responded directly. This kind of behavior is really weird.
Gong Yu remembered spinning around in front of Dai Ruyan, stopped for a while and said: "Give me that elixir!"
Dai Ruyan in front of him didn't respond, and Gong Yu scattered all the books that Dai Ruyan was reading on the side and said, "That's something that hurts people, what are you using it for?"
"I should really destroy it." Gong Yu said fiercely, but she couldn't lose her temper with Dai Ruyan, her whole face turned pale with anger.
"Xiao Jiu, are you angry?"
"It's more than angry, I want to move to this palace!"
Before the words finished, Dai Ruyan grabbed Gong Yu's drooping robe and said, "Don't leave me."
"Then you give me the elixir."
"I've already taken that elixir."
Gong Yu was stunned.
It is impossible for Dai Ruyan to take the pill alone.
That elixir is highly poisonous!
"Ayan, you...you lied to me, right?" Gong Yu stretched her arms around Dai Ruyan and said, "If you take that medicine, you will die."
"I didn't lie to you." Dai Ruyan responded by lightly touching Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips.
Gong Yu's eyes turned red immediately and asked, "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy."
Dai Ruyan said hesitantly: "Xiao Jiu is sick, but there is no medicine to cure it, so the pill is the only chance."
"Then why do you take that pill yourself?"
"I'll try it for Xiao Jiu. If it's all right, give Xiao Jiu the other half of the pill."
Gong Yu reached out to find the medicine box from Dai Ruyan's sleeve pocket, and only half a pill was left inside.
Why is this person so stupid!
"Xiao Jiu!" Dai Ruyan called out in horror.
But the half pill had already been swallowed by Gong Yu, Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in despair and said, "Why did you take it!"
"Then what about you!" Gong Yu responded with a hoarse voice.
It seemed that the voices of these two people were still surrounding the palace, and the palace people outside also retreated and did not dare to make a sound.
Dai Ruyan tugged at Gong Yu's sleeve and said, "Send it to the doctor!"
"No!"
Gong Yu pulled Dai Ruyan around the screen, and the two lay together, Dai Ruyan was restrained by Gong Yu's arms and could not move.
No matter how Dai Ruyan tossed Gong Yu, she refused to let go, Dai Ruyan hurriedly called: "Xiao Jiu, let go!"
"Don't let go!" Gong Yu leaned close to Dai Ruyan and said, "Anyway, I've already swallowed it, at worst, I will die together, so Ayan is satisfied."
Immediately after Gong Yu's arm was stabbed, Dai Ruyan struggled away, her eyes were red and said: "I caused you to be injured, even if I die, it is not enough to repay, why did you swallow that medicine!"
"Could it be that A Yan feels that I have sacrificed myself, so I can live in safety and security?"
The scorching tears fell on Gong Yu's face, as if it also scalded Gong Yu's heart, she gently wiped the tears with her fingertips, and kissed her close.
Only then did Dai Ruyan calm down, Gong Yu rubbed her cheek against Dai Ruyan's side and said: "Ayan is tired, let's sleep well."
"When I have seizures, I will be particularly ugly. Maybe Ayan will think that I am not good-looking when he sees it."
Dai Ruyan choked up like a child, tears silently wet Gong Yu's robe, the two seemed to be quietly waiting for death to come.
Even the morning meals were forgotten, and they didn't review the memorial or speak for a whole day, and the two just lay down like this.
In the middle of the night, Shi Gongyu was very sleepy, but she still held on, guarding Dai Ruyan who was as quiet and silent as if she was tired from crying.
"Little Nine..."
"Ah."
"You shouldn't have taken that half pill."
Gong Yu gently rubbed the red and swollen eyes with her fingertips and said, "Ah Yan shouldn't have taken that pill either."
Dai Ruyan leaned against Gong Yu's palm, and then approached and kissed Gong Yu's lips lightly, obviously very cold, but extremely passionate.
It was as if a desperate suffocation lingered between the two of them, until Dai Ruyan opened the distance, Gong Yu still couldn't breathe.
There was a whistling wind outside the window, and no candles were lit in the hall, but Gong Yu could still feel Dai Ruyan's scorching gaze.
People are afraid of death, even after careful consideration, what's more, when Dai Ruyan made up his mind to test the medicine, he must have thought that he would die.
At dawn, the hall was very quiet, when Gong Yu slowly woke up, the first thing she did was to go to see Dai Ruyan beside her.
It took a long time to take the medicine on behalf of Ruyan, maybe he would relapse and die first, but the people beside him looked at Gong Yu tenderly.
Gong Yu's heart was still beating wildly, she stared blankly at Dai Ruyan and said, "Are we... still alive?"
"Probably alive."
Dai Ruyan leaned over with his arms outstretched, Gong Yu was still a little dazed, isn't this from poison?
So the two called a female doctor to check the pulse, but they found out that nothing happened.
When the first snow melted, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and the reason was the disagreement between the emperor and the empress.
Because after taking the medicine that day, although the two of them were fine, Gong Yu still moved out of the hall alone in order to let Dai Ruyan remember.
Dai Ruyan set up breakfast in the pavilion, waiting for those who went to the early court to eat, holding a letter in his hand is the reason why the elixir is not poisonous.
The queen of the Sangguo Kingdom admired the national teacher, but the emperor wanted to kill the national teacher with a poison, so he added poison to the longevity medicine developed by the royal family of the Sangguo country.
But the queen knew this by accident, so she took the poison first, and the national teacher noticed the emperor's trick in time. Although nothing happened, she had to escape from the Sanggu kingdom because of the suspicion and secret murder of the emperor of the Sanggu kingdom.
The only antidote is not the kindness of the national teacher of the Sangguo Kingdom, but that he is taking revenge on the world, and it is the pain of this life that people who love each other can't stay together.
Every time Dai Ruyan thinks about this, he can't help but feel very afraid. If there is no Gu Qing, then he and her are at least separated by yin and yang.
This national teacher of Sangguo Kingdom is extremely vicious!
Waiting for the people in the long corridor to enter in a leisurely manner, Dai Ruyan put away the letter paper on the side, secretly thinking that the poison in her body has also been dissolved, otherwise Dai Ruyan would not be able to forgive herself.
After Gongyu entered the pavilion to eat, Dai Ruyan filled the soup and handed it to her, "This is ginseng soup."
The two remained silent, or it could be said that Gong Yu unilaterally snubbed Dai Ruyan, there was no way that the elixir really made Gong Yu's whole heart stop.
"Does Xiao Jiu like to drink?" Dai Ruyan seemed to ignore Gong Yu's indifference, and asked while sitting on the side.
Gong Yu buried her head in drinking the soup and ignored it, thinking that this man looked gentle and gentle, but when he made a decision, he would risk his own life without hesitation.
She is really a woman who is cruel to others and hates herself even more.
But beating and scolding Gong Yu is absolutely impossible, the only thing I can do is to keep her cold, so that she will know that she is angry, and it is not so easy to be coaxed!
After breakfast, Gong Yu went back to her own palace to review the memorial without looking back, and did not eat with Dai Ruyan even at lunch.
Gong Yu didn't stop writing until late at night. After taking a bath, she wanted to take a rest early, but turned off the light when she didn't want to.
Suddenly a report came from outside: "Your Majesty, the empress is here."
"No, I want to rest."
Although there was no response from outside,
He could even go back to the capital before New Year's Eve for a peaceful year, but he didn't want Dai Ruyan to show up suddenly.
Gong Yu thought it was because he hadn't seen her for too long, so he hallucinated out of thin air.
But Qin Hua who was beside him frowned and called out, "Your Majesty, why is the empress here?"
Yes, this is not an illusion, Dai Ruyan came here alone.
She must have come to find her.
"Quick! Prepare the horse for me!" Gong Yu put down the eyepiece in his hand, and Qin Hua at the side hurriedly stopped him: "There are countless fire barrels of medicine densely covered there, it is really impossible to go there!"
Gong Yu calmed down and looked at the soldiers hiding in the forest and said: "If the situation is not right, Mr. Qin can light the line of fire."
"Your Majesty absolutely must not!" All the soldiers shouted anxiously.
Qin Hua stood aside and said, "This is too risky, the Palace Kingdom needs His Majesty."
"I'm not a good emperor, Mr. Qin also knows, doesn't he?" Gong Yu chose two bows, holding a large number of arrows wrapped in kerosene and placed them next to the horses beside him, and stopped:
"Anyone can be the emperor of the palace kingdom. Mr. Qin is a loyal minister loyal to the palace kingdom, so he brought troops to help. In the future, the palace kingdom will be entrusted to Mr. Qin."
"Your Majesty!" Qin Hua looked surprised seeing Gong Yu get on the horse, and quickly called out, "Has Your Majesty ignored the people of the palace kingdom?"
Gong Yu held the rein in her hand and said, "I was not a good emperor, I did everything for the empress."
Guarding the palace country will protect Dai Ruyan from other people's harm, but if Dai Ruyan is in danger in order to defend the palace country, Gong Yu will never stand idly by.
The horses galloped across the plain, Gong Yu was afraid that something serious would happen if he was too late, so he quickly shot an arrow tied with a small fire mine to attract the attention of the other party.
The vines are afraid of fire, but there are fire barrels buried all around, so Gong Yu had to aim at the vines that were swinging towards him.
It wasn't until getting closer that Gong Yu saw Dai Ruyan who was being held hostage. Gu Qing stretched out his hand and the vine rushed towards Gong Yu like an arrow.
When the arrow hit the vine, the vine retreated immediately, and the horse suddenly jumped up high when the vine emerged from the ground, and Gong Yu was forced to fall from the horse's back.
"Gong Yu, you are finally here to die!" Gu Qing commanded all the vines to attack Gong Yu again.
Gong Yu couldn't help being slow for a moment, so he had to dodge again. This bow can shoot three arrows in a row, but there are too many vines, which makes Gong Yu hard to defend against.
Gu Qing approached with a sneer: "It's the end of the battle, why resist?"
"Gu Qing, you are bullying a weak woman and pretending to be a man." Gong Yu responded without his interference while dealing with the vines that kept coming.
Maybe it was Gong Yu's words, the vines binding Dai Ruyan on the side loosened, and Gu Qing spared no effort to attack Gong Yu, only to see several rockets suddenly shot from behind Gong Yu, hitting the several vines.
Gong Yu glanced sideways and saw Qin Hua leading a few soldiers running towards this direction. Many vines were blocked one after another, and the speed of the attack was much slower, so Gong Yu was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is Your Majesty injured?" Qin Hua rushed to this side on horseback and asked anxiously.
"Why did Mr. Qin come here?" Gong Yu shook her head and asked.
Qin Hua responded while shooting an arrow: "I should assist the king in times of crisis. How can I let the king fight alone?"
Although he knew that Qin Hua was a foolish and loyal person, he was still a little moved, the surrounding vines gathered again and Gong Yu wanted to go around to Dai Ruyan and said conveniently: "Mr. Qin, please cover."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Gong Yu drew out her sword and leaned down to move forward quickly. Although the vines grew extremely fast, they were not solid walls, and the sharp sword could still be cut and blocked for a while.
When Qin Hua sent soldiers to attack Gu Qing frequently, Gong Yu quickly cut off the vines behind Gu Qing, reached out and took Dai Ruyan's hand into her arms.
Probably because the vines were too strong, Dai Ruyan's wrists were bruised and purple, Gong Yu hurriedly let go of her hands in distress, hugged Dai Ruyan and called out: "Ayan?"
Dai Ruyan leaned on Gong Yu's cheeks covered with sweat and looked at Gong Yu and responded: "Don't be afraid, he didn't hurt me, he just looked scary."
The two of them hadn't spoken a few more words before the officer could no longer resist, and Qin Hua was also injured.
Gong Yu hurriedly supported Dai Ruyan with one hand, and swung the sword with the other hand to cut off the approaching vines.
It was probably Gu Qing who came back to his senses and hurriedly moved most of the vines towards Gong Yu's side, and even the whole person approached this side.
When the barb on the vine stabbed her arm, Gong Yu stopped in pain, Dai Ruyan hurriedly said, "Xiao Jiu, let me go."
At this time, it is definitely not possible to let go, Gong Yu didn't respond, but just swung the sword vigorously, until the vine snatched Dai Ruyan from Gong Yu's arms.
Gong Yu was busy cutting off the vines that bound Dai Ruyan, but she didn't want the vines on one side to hit her straight.
Dai Ruyan fell to the side, but when Gong Yu was pulled into the vortex by the vines, the dense vines made it impossible for Gong Yu to see the situation outside, and it was even very dark inside, Gong Yu could only distinguish the attack from the sound From which side is the cane struck.
But after all, she was still exhausted, Gong Yu's hands and feet were restrained, and there was a little light on her head, Gu Qing walked up to her and said triumphantly, "You are so capable?"
The barbs on the vine pierced Gong Yu's wrist, sucking Gong Yu's blood like a bloodthirsty locust.
Gong Yu's cheeks turned pale quickly, she looked at Gu Qing in front of her with a smile and said: "If you kill me, I will always live in Ayan's heart, and she will never fall in love with you for the rest of her life."
Gu Qing frowned and said: "It makes sense, so I want you to watch me and Dai Ruyan live forever in pain."
The vine seemed to have stopped sucking flesh and blood, but the blood still flowed unstoppably, Gong Yu took a deep breath in pain and said: "How could Ayan live forever with you, you are already a monster now, she is just an ordinary Man, sooner or later she will leave you."
"It seems that you don't know that she has developed the longevity medicine."
Gong Yu was very surprised to hear the answer, Gu Qing took out the medicine box and shook it in front of Gong Yu: "She has tried so hard to find you, so she came to give you this longevity medicine, which is really enviable ah!"
"But it's a pity that she only prepared two pills, and I've already taken one. Obviously, you two can only have one immortality."
"How despicable!"
Gu Qing moved closer and said: "Gong Yu, I have wanted your life for a long time, how can you sit on the throne, how can you marry her as a wife!"
Gong Yu lowered her head and smiled with the corners of her mouth raised, a sharp dagger popped out from the mechanism on her wrist, cut off the vines wrapped around her wrist, pierced Gu Qing's heart very quickly and said: "She loves me, that's enough. "
Before Gu Qing could react, Gong Yu snatched the medicine box from Gu Qing's hand, only to see that Gu Qing retracted the vines extending from his body as if in pain, and smiled as if he was holding on for nothing: "I'm already immortal. body, how can..."
Gong Yu, who was thrown from a high place, only felt dizzy in his head.
But the eyes gradually became brighter, and Gong Yu saw that the vines that Gu Qing hadn't yet taken back had turned yellow.
The blood sprayed from Gu Qing's mouth was even more frightening, even his glaring eyes, ears, and nose were also dripping with blood.
Dai Ruyan hurriedly hugged Gong Yu who was on the ground, and asked with a trembling voice, "Where are you hurt?"
Gong Yu reluctantly stood up, and replied, "Ayan, don't be afraid, I'm fine."
The few remaining soldiers supported the injured Qin Huahu and stood aside, seeing that Gu Qing quickly turned into a skeleton, they also showed fear on their faces.
But Gong Yu didn't understand that the dagger was not so powerful, and Gu Qing's body could quickly recover from the artillery fire, which led to the fact that even though his subordinates had been wiped out, he was the only one who survived.
How could it suddenly become like this?
Dai Ruyan at the side wanted to walk over, so scared that Gong Yuman grabbed Dai Ruyan and asked, "Ayan, don't go over."
"The longevity medicine is still in his hand." Dai Ruyan said hesitantly.
Gong Yu opened her palm to reveal the medicine box and said, "I just snatched it back."
Seeing that Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to take it, Gong Yu hurriedly withdrew his hand and shook his head, "This elixir of longevity may be some kind of poison, so I can't give it to Ayan."
Otherwise, Gu Qing's strong vitality would be tossed into a dry bone, one can imagine how terrifying it is.
Dai Ruyan showed puzzled eyes and said, "Does Xiao Jiu still not believe in immortality?"
Seeing that Dai Ruyan was going to struggle with this problem again, Gong Yu had no choice but to lean her head sideways, put her hands on her heart and said, "Oh, it hurts!"
"Xiao Jiu, tell me where it hurts?"
"My heart hurts badly."
Sure enough, it's more useful to use bitter tricks.
The military camp was stationed at night, and the prefectures and counties began to rest again. Gong Yu quietly hid the medicine box in her hand, and the provincial Dai Ruyan had other thoughts.
But Gong Yu didn't lie, the injuries on her body were indeed serious, almost two days after Gong Yu fell into a coma.
Dai Ruyanshou yelled worriedly from the side: "If you don't wake up, you should let Xiao Jiu take the longevity medicine."
Gong Yu smiled and said: "I don't want it, there is only one medicine, so it's impossible for Ayan to want me to live alone in the future."
"That's better than you sleeping like this all night."
There was no way to lose too much blood, and Gong Yu didn't want to be so weak, so she finally returned to the capital, and finally enjoyed the warm welcome of the people of Gongguo.
However, when Gong Yu returned to the palace, she was forced to rest by Dai Ruyan, even the early court was exempted.
The court ministers didn't dare to say a word about it, so Gong Yu was happy to take a long vacation.
It was freezing cold in winter, every day Gong Yu was poured countless decoctions by Dai Ruyan, and the whole person looked like a medicine jar.
It was snowing heavily outside, one day Gong Yu pushed open the window and it was white outside, so she invited Dai Ruyan to enjoy the snow together on a whim.
The two of them quietly enjoyed the silent snow in the pavilion, the hot pot in the small stove was still boiling, Gong Yu was a sick person, so she should be treated like a sick person.
"Ayan, I want to eat meat." Gong Yu only moved his mouth a little, and Dai Ruyan dipped some sauce on the hot meat and placed it next to Gong Yu's mouth.
Gong Yu only needs to open his mouth to eat, the beauty is in his arms, and the delicious food is in front of his eyes, this is the day that makes Gong Yu satisfied!
It's just that although this snowfall is later than in previous years, it is still very heavy, and it has never stopped for several days.
Dai Ruyan took a sip of the fish soup, looked at the lazy person lying on the pillow when he was full, and said in a low voice, "Are you full?"
"Well, I ate two plates of meat."
Ever since she entered the military camp, Gong Yu knew what kind of fairy days she had lived.
During the few months in the military camp, because of the war, I didn't even have time to eat a hot meal every day.
Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan who was sipping soup, stretched out her hand and lightly tugged on Dai Ruyan's loose skirt and read: "Ayan...Ayan..."
"what happened?"
"I just wanted to call you."
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, looked down at the suddenly mischievous person, her eyes fell on her hand that was pulling the hem of the skirt, the scar on the wrist was still very eye-catching.
I couldn't help feeling very guilty, put down the soup bowl I was holding in my hand, raised my hand to caress the scar and asked: "I'm afraid this scar will be hard to get rid of."
"It's okay, the men in the military camp are mostly proud of the scars left by their military exploits!"
It was as if she had forgotten that she was a daughter, and she didn't need to go to the battlefield to fight.
Dai Ruyan touched the scar lightly with her fingertips and replied: "But I don't want you to get hurt."
She sat up slowly, kissed the next generation Ruyan's lips that were tight because of guilt and said in a low voice: "Ayan, don't be sad, it was all caused by Gu Qing, I am not angry with Ayan anymore gone."
"Xiao Jiu should be angry."
"I was also angry at first, but then I went to the barracks to collect the love letters from Ayan every day, so I stopped being angry."
"Wouldn't that be too easy to coax?" Dai Ruyan leaned on her and said.
She seemed to think about it for a while and replied: "Yes, but making a robe is very tiring, and Ayan must have worked hard too."
Dai Ruyan held her wrist with her fingertips and said softly, "I'm not tired, I have nothing to do after you leave."
"But Ah Yan managed the court very well, and the ministers were all subdued. Without Ayan's support, this war would not have been so easy to win."
"But Xiao Jiu is the key to victory in this battle. Why does he always give the credit to me?"
She took Dai Ruyan's hand and kissed the back of it, saying: "I didn't fight for merit, all this is for Ayan."
"Xiao Jiu..." Dai Ruyan called out with slightly burning cheeks.
"Ok?"
"Where did you put that elixir?"
Since returning to the palace, she has been avoiding this topic, Dai Ruyan had to ask after searching for no reason.
She shook her head and replied, "I threw it away."
"Throw it away?" Dai Ruyan looked at her incredulously, and said slightly dully: "That is the elixir of longevity that was refined through hard work."
"There is only one on the left and right, does Ah Yan want to live alone?"
"Of course I don't want to, it's just that keeping the elixir can be used for emergencies."
She hugged Dai Ruyan lightly and whispered in her ear: "Gu Qing's death at that time was so horrific. I suspect that it was inseparably related to the longevity medicine. Why did Ayan take the risk?"
Dai Ruyan naturally knew how terrible the situation was at that time, and even the secret guard later reported that the veteran's signs before death were very similar to Gu Qing, and it was inseparable from the longevity medicine.
It was only when Dai Ruyan sent people to investigate the grievances between the emperor and the teacher of the Sanggu Kingdom for decades, that he learned that the death of the Queen of the Sanggu Kingdom was also the same.
That is to say, the longevity medicine is not that the old man made a mistake in developing it, but he has long known what is the medicine that can make people live, and what medicine can make people die.
And during the detailed investigation, Dai Ruyan learned about the secrets hidden by the royal family of the Sanggu Kingdom.
"Xiao Jiu, do you know that there is a strange phenomenon in the royal family of Sangjiao Kingdom since its establishment?"
The person in the arms was lying quietly in the arms and blinked, and replied: "Is A Yan going to tell me a story?"
Dai Ruyan tapped her nose lightly with her fingertips, and replied: "For hundreds of years, the emperors and teachers of the Sanggu Kingdom have not lived to be thirty."
"so what?"
"But that old Taoist is at least nearly a hundred years old."
"Even if Ayan said so, I would not give the pill to Ayan." She said seriously.
"And the emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom has lived to be nearly a hundred years old and is still in power. It can be seen that the royal family of the Sanggu Kingdom was also developing longevity medicines, and they even succeeded."
She took Dai Ruyan's hand caressing her cheek and asked, "Why does Ayan think that only longevity can make her feel at ease?"
"It's not that longevity can make me feel at ease, I just want to live forever with Xiaojiu."
"But I'm so clingy to Ayan every day, if it's really a long life, wouldn't Ayan feel tired?" She moved closer and kissed the side of the next generation Ruyan, her bright eyes were as clean as ever.
As if the whole person was stared at by her as if he couldn't breathe, Dai Ruyan's eyes softened a little, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips and said: "I like it."
If one day she stops being so clingy, Dai Ruyan will be very disappointed. He vaguely remembers that when she was not in the palace for a few months and did not reply to Dai Ruyan's letter, Dai Ruyan was afraid that she would be very angry.
He left the palace again like before, and never came back.
As if she hadn't expected it, she blinked her eyes with reddish cheeks, and when her lips were pressed together, the dimples of her lips became more obvious.
"You...why did you kiss me all of a sudden?" She asked in a low voice, she didn't have the boldness and directness just now, but her shy appearance made Dai Ruyan's heart beat a lot faster.
It was snowing heavily outside, but inside the pavilion seemed to be warm and tight, Dai Ruyan tightened his grip on the hand, tilted his head and kissed again, and said with joy in his eyes: "I think, so I kissed like this .”
She was only stunned for a while, then moved closer and kissed back and forth, and said with a silly smile, "A Yan has become more and more seductive recently."
"Does Xiao Jiu like it?"
"I like it, but Ayan can't allow the right girl to do that."
"Of course, except for Xiao Jiu, I will never treat others like this again."
Even if she really didn't believe it, Dai Ruyan believed more and more in the existence of the longevity medicine.
According to the investigation of the secret guards, it was reported that the royal family of the Sanggu Kingdom sent people to sneak into Jinzhou every ten years to seize the immortality pollen.
That is to say, the national teacher also developed a batch of medicine back then, but the emperor and the national teacher both survived, but the queen died.
The emperor of the Sanggu Kingdom married many queens, and the beauty who was rumored to be from the Sanggu Kingdom was the youngest queen of the Sanggu Kingdom even though she was dozens of years older than the emperor.
Perhaps the reason why the national teacher gave Dai Ruyan to refine the medicine was because he also knew that the last step would require the royal blood of the Sanggu Kingdom, and it was not even ruled out that the national teacher wanted to destroy the Sanggu Kingdom.
The young and beautiful queen may have been tricked by the emperor, or the emperor discovered her relationship with the national teacher, so the national teacher simply left the country and was caught by Dai Ruyan's secret guards.
revenge?Or revenge?
Dai Ruyan has no way of checking, but only knows that two of the three elixirs developed by the teacher are poisonous.
If the national teacher wanted to die, he took one poisonous pill, but he knew that the remaining two pills were for Dai Ruyan and her.
The poison in his mind, if he is still alive, Dai Ruyan will really let him taste what it means to be punished by thousands of cuts!
In vain, Dai Ruyan's thought of all these years was ruined by this national teacher, and what Dai Ruyan was even more afraid of was that if the other poisonous elixir was not taken by Gu Qing, the consequences would be disastrous.
The person in her arms was sleeping peacefully, Dai Ruyan tightly encircled her arms, bowed her head and kissed her forehead in fear.
He almost killed her with his own hands.
If that happened, Dai Ruyan would only feel that life would be worse than death, so he would never dare to take her risk again.
On New Year's Eve, her body was much worse than before because of that injury.
She just drank a small glass of fruit wine and fell asleep. Dai Ruyan watched over her for another night until dawn when she slowly woke up, and Dai Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.
But the bottom of my heart was still worried, because of her body, Dai Ruyan asked a female doctor to feel her pulse.
The heavy snow did not stop in the first month, but she didn't take it seriously, and said mischievously: "Checking the pulse every day, I always feel like I am pregnant with A Yan's child."
Dai Ruyan stretched out her hands to straighten her disheveled robes, and seeing that the female doctor had retreated to the outer hall, she got up and found an excuse to leave the outer hall as well.
"How's it going?"
"The thorns of the vine should be poisonous, Your Majesty..." The female doctor stopped speaking.
The poison on the vine flowed along her blood to the whole body, although there were no other symptoms at the moment, it was wearing down her body day by day.
These are the words that the female doctor stopped, Dai Ruyan was alone in the pavilion, and the heavy snow outside fell profusely, making Dai Ruyan feel like a dream in a trance.
Everything was her own fault, Dai Ruyan couldn't even punish others, even if it was Gu Qing, it was because of her appearance that she let her take the risk.
I don't remember how long I stood there, when Dai Ruyan realized that she was dripping tears when her cheeks were slightly cool, she couldn't help but think that she must find the only elixir, maybe it was her last hope.
During the Lantern Festival, she said with great interest that she would go to the Lantern Festival, and Dai Ruyan agreed to her.
It's just that Dai Ruyan hesitated for a long time before agreeing to her when he said that he wanted to change into a daughter's outfit without thinking about her.
In the evening, she began to dress up, rubbing the rouge on behalf of Ruyan, until she picked out a dress but didn't seem to know how to wear it, and sat on the screen for a long time before poking her head out and calling softly: "Ayan, can you Come and help me?"
There was a bit of shyness hidden in those bright eyes, Dai Ruyan got up and went around the screen, and saw her lightly covering her face with her hands and said slightly flushed: "This woman's dress is so complicated, I... can't make it right."
"Come here." Dai Ruyan approached with dark eyes, and tied the tiny tie for her.
It's the first time I've seen her in women's clothes after we met, Dai Ruyan is not used to it, her skin is very fair, wearing that pink dress not only does not look gorgeous, but looks like a lively and lovely girl.
Dai Ruyan couldn't help reminding that she was only in her twenties, not like a cardamom age, but more like a boudoir girl.
When she changed into a dress, she had to comb her hair and put on red make-up, she played with herself, stretched out her hands and dabbed some rouge on the back of her hands and smelled it, her movements were cute and tight.
"Ayan."
"Ah."
She turned her head to look up at this side and asked hesitantly: "Are you not used to seeing me like this?"
Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly and replied, "No, Xiao Jiu is very beautiful."
After saying this, she felt a little embarrassed, and turned her head to look at the bronze mirror, very quiet.
It is dangerous for the emperor to go out of the palace in micro-clothes, especially since she is transformed into a woman, it will be even more dangerous if she is discovered.
It's just that Dai Ruyan didn't mention these things compared to making her happy. At night, the Lantern Festival in the capital is very lively, and it seems that even her face is a little blurred.
She still loves all kinds of sweets as before, but she never let go of Dai Ruyan's hand, for fear that the crowd would separate the two.
When the fireworks were in full bloom and the common people raised their heads to watch, her little face was turned red from the cold, but she suddenly drew closer to Dai Ruyan, and kissed the thin lips of the next generation Ruyan under the eyes of so many people.
"You..." Dai Ruyan looked at her helplessly, and the surprised eyes of the people on the side came over one after another.
In order to prevent others from noticing that Dai Ruyan was wearing a cloak and a veil on her face, she didn't want her small gesture to attract so much attention, how could it be called acting low-key?
She stretched out her hand and lightly lowered the veil that had been parted by a small corner, she bent her eyebrows and said without paying attention to the unexpected gaze: "I just want to kiss Ayan."
Even though Dai Ruyan was dressed in such a secret way, she could still be seen as a woman, and the customs of this capital did not allow two women to kiss openly.
But because it was her, Dai Ruyan could only lead her to go elsewhere, avoiding the eyes of others falling on her who was naked, which was really uncomfortable.
In the middle of the night, she was still in high spirits. In the sedan chair, her contemporaries, Ruyan, said that a new banquet would be held in the palace for the next year's Lantern Festival.
Dai Ruyan listened quietly without answering, until the two returned to the palace, she went to bed early after taking a bath.
Even before Dai Ruyan came out from the room, she had already fallen asleep peacefully.
The female doctor once said that she would become weaker and weaker until she could no longer wake up.
It's not like killing Dai Ruyan with a knife, but it tortures Dai Ruyan even more. Watching her weaken day by day with my own eyes is tantamount to scratching one after another in Dai Ruyan's heart.
Dai Ruyan patrolled the hall and couldn't help wondering where she would hide that pill?
She should not throw away the pill at will.
These days, Dai Ruyan searched for any place where she stayed in the past, but still did not find any clues.
When the candle was flickering slightly, the night outside the window was already deep, Dai Ruyan sat aside a little discouraged, pressed the corners of her tight lips with his fingertips and sighed in a low voice: "Where are you going to hide?"
She didn't respond, but fortunately, her breathing was steady, and Dai Ruyan was relieved a lot.
Dai Ruyan untied the gauze and wanted to lie down, but when her hands accidentally touched the talisman bag she was wearing, she realized that something was wrong inside, so she untied it carefully, opened the talisman bag, and inside was the medicine box.
It turned out that she had been carrying it close to her body all the time, no wonder Dai Ruyan could never find it, but she never thought that she would keep it in this lucky bag with her.
The only elixir in the medicine box was safely placed inside, Dai Ruyan looked at the elixir quietly, as if making up his mind, and sat beside the bed.
The candles burning on the other side became brighter and brighter, and the wind outside the window was blowing, making the hall very quiet.
At dawn, the hall was much brighter, and when Gong Yu woke up, she was still a little confused about why she was so sleepy again.
Dai Ruyan was sitting beside the low couch by the window, but she didn't hold a book in her hand, she just seemed to be waiting for something, looking out the window with a serious expression, as if she was waiting for something important to happen.
Gong Yu sat up a little uneasy, got up and approached her and whispered: "Ayan?"
"En." She turned her head to the side, her expression was as calm as usual, but it made Gong Yu more uneasy.
"Why did you wake up so early?"
"I just can't sleep." Dai Ruyan stretched his arm and lightly held Gong Yu's drooping hand in response.
"Can't sleep?" Gong Yu sat aside, looked at Dai Ruyan and said, "Could it be that Ayan hasn't slept all night?"
Dai Ruyan didn't respond immediately, but she didn't give in either. This feeling is really uncomfortable!
Gong Yu touched the talisman bag subconsciously, but found that it was empty, and suddenly panicked.
How could this elixir disappear!
In order to be afraid that Dai Ruyan would do other experiments on the pill, and also afraid that Dai Ruyan would risk his life to test the medicine, so Gong Yu kept it in the close-fitting talisman bag.
"Ayan, did you take that elixir?" Gong Yu asked, holding Dai Ruyan's hand tightly.
Dai Ruyan blinked lightly, pursed her thin lips as if thinking about it, and said, "Yes."
Gong Yu was suddenly very angry!
"You! What are you doing with it?"
"Nothing." Dai Ruyan replied avoiding Gong Yu's probing gaze.
Impossible not doing anything!
If Dai Ruyan hadn't done anything, she wouldn't have taken the elixir. More importantly, she didn't hide it but responded directly. This kind of behavior is really weird.
Gong Yu remembered spinning around in front of Dai Ruyan, stopped for a while and said: "Give me that elixir!"
Dai Ruyan in front of him didn't respond, and Gong Yu scattered all the books that Dai Ruyan was reading on the side and said, "That's something that hurts people, what are you using it for?"
"I should really destroy it." Gong Yu said fiercely, but she couldn't lose her temper with Dai Ruyan, her whole face turned pale with anger.
"Xiao Jiu, are you angry?"
"It's more than angry, I want to move to this palace!"
Before the words finished, Dai Ruyan grabbed Gong Yu's drooping robe and said, "Don't leave me."
"Then you give me the elixir."
"I've already taken that elixir."
Gong Yu was stunned.
It is impossible for Dai Ruyan to take the pill alone.
That elixir is highly poisonous!
"Ayan, you...you lied to me, right?" Gong Yu stretched her arms around Dai Ruyan and said, "If you take that medicine, you will die."
"I didn't lie to you." Dai Ruyan responded by lightly touching Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips.
Gong Yu's eyes turned red immediately and asked, "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy."
Dai Ruyan said hesitantly: "Xiao Jiu is sick, but there is no medicine to cure it, so the pill is the only chance."
"Then why do you take that pill yourself?"
"I'll try it for Xiao Jiu. If it's all right, give Xiao Jiu the other half of the pill."
Gong Yu reached out to find the medicine box from Dai Ruyan's sleeve pocket, and only half a pill was left inside.
Why is this person so stupid!
"Xiao Jiu!" Dai Ruyan called out in horror.
But the half pill had already been swallowed by Gong Yu, Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in despair and said, "Why did you take it!"
"Then what about you!" Gong Yu responded with a hoarse voice.
It seemed that the voices of these two people were still surrounding the palace, and the palace people outside also retreated and did not dare to make a sound.
Dai Ruyan tugged at Gong Yu's sleeve and said, "Send it to the doctor!"
"No!"
Gong Yu pulled Dai Ruyan around the screen, and the two lay together, Dai Ruyan was restrained by Gong Yu's arms and could not move.
No matter how Dai Ruyan tossed Gong Yu, she refused to let go, Dai Ruyan hurriedly called: "Xiao Jiu, let go!"
"Don't let go!" Gong Yu leaned close to Dai Ruyan and said, "Anyway, I've already swallowed it, at worst, I will die together, so Ayan is satisfied."
Immediately after Gong Yu's arm was stabbed, Dai Ruyan struggled away, her eyes were red and said: "I caused you to be injured, even if I die, it is not enough to repay, why did you swallow that medicine!"
"Could it be that A Yan feels that I have sacrificed myself, so I can live in safety and security?"
The scorching tears fell on Gong Yu's face, as if it also scalded Gong Yu's heart, she gently wiped the tears with her fingertips, and kissed her close.
Only then did Dai Ruyan calm down, Gong Yu rubbed her cheek against Dai Ruyan's side and said: "Ayan is tired, let's sleep well."
"When I have seizures, I will be particularly ugly. Maybe Ayan will think that I am not good-looking when he sees it."
Dai Ruyan choked up like a child, tears silently wet Gong Yu's robe, the two seemed to be quietly waiting for death to come.
Even the morning meals were forgotten, and they didn't review the memorial or speak for a whole day, and the two just lay down like this.
In the middle of the night, Shi Gongyu was very sleepy, but she still held on, guarding Dai Ruyan who was as quiet and silent as if she was tired from crying.
"Little Nine..."
"Ah."
"You shouldn't have taken that half pill."
Gong Yu gently rubbed the red and swollen eyes with her fingertips and said, "Ah Yan shouldn't have taken that pill either."
Dai Ruyan leaned against Gong Yu's palm, and then approached and kissed Gong Yu's lips lightly, obviously very cold, but extremely passionate.
It was as if a desperate suffocation lingered between the two of them, until Dai Ruyan opened the distance, Gong Yu still couldn't breathe.
There was a whistling wind outside the window, and no candles were lit in the hall, but Gong Yu could still feel Dai Ruyan's scorching gaze.
People are afraid of death, even after careful consideration, what's more, when Dai Ruyan made up his mind to test the medicine, he must have thought that he would die.
At dawn, the hall was very quiet, when Gong Yu slowly woke up, the first thing she did was to go to see Dai Ruyan beside her.
It took a long time to take the medicine on behalf of Ruyan, maybe he would relapse and die first, but the people beside him looked at Gong Yu tenderly.
Gong Yu's heart was still beating wildly, she stared blankly at Dai Ruyan and said, "Are we... still alive?"
"Probably alive."
Dai Ruyan leaned over with his arms outstretched, Gong Yu was still a little dazed, isn't this from poison?
So the two called a female doctor to check the pulse, but they found out that nothing happened.
When the first snow melted, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and the reason was the disagreement between the emperor and the empress.
Because after taking the medicine that day, although the two of them were fine, Gong Yu still moved out of the hall alone in order to let Dai Ruyan remember.
Dai Ruyan set up breakfast in the pavilion, waiting for those who went to the early court to eat, holding a letter in his hand is the reason why the elixir is not poisonous.
The queen of the Sangguo Kingdom admired the national teacher, but the emperor wanted to kill the national teacher with a poison, so he added poison to the longevity medicine developed by the royal family of the Sangguo country.
But the queen knew this by accident, so she took the poison first, and the national teacher noticed the emperor's trick in time. Although nothing happened, she had to escape from the Sanggu kingdom because of the suspicion and secret murder of the emperor of the Sanggu kingdom.
The only antidote is not the kindness of the national teacher of the Sangguo Kingdom, but that he is taking revenge on the world, and it is the pain of this life that people who love each other can't stay together.
Every time Dai Ruyan thinks about this, he can't help but feel very afraid. If there is no Gu Qing, then he and her are at least separated by yin and yang.
This national teacher of Sangguo Kingdom is extremely vicious!
Waiting for the people in the long corridor to enter in a leisurely manner, Dai Ruyan put away the letter paper on the side, secretly thinking that the poison in her body has also been dissolved, otherwise Dai Ruyan would not be able to forgive herself.
After Gongyu entered the pavilion to eat, Dai Ruyan filled the soup and handed it to her, "This is ginseng soup."
The two remained silent, or it could be said that Gong Yu unilaterally snubbed Dai Ruyan, there was no way that the elixir really made Gong Yu's whole heart stop.
"Does Xiao Jiu like to drink?" Dai Ruyan seemed to ignore Gong Yu's indifference, and asked while sitting on the side.
Gong Yu buried her head in drinking the soup and ignored it, thinking that this man looked gentle and gentle, but when he made a decision, he would risk his own life without hesitation.
She is really a woman who is cruel to others and hates herself even more.
But beating and scolding Gong Yu is absolutely impossible, the only thing I can do is to keep her cold, so that she will know that she is angry, and it is not so easy to be coaxed!
After breakfast, Gong Yu went back to her own palace to review the memorial without looking back, and did not eat with Dai Ruyan even at lunch.
Gong Yu didn't stop writing until late at night. After taking a bath, she wanted to take a rest early, but turned off the light when she didn't want to.
Suddenly a report came from outside: "Your Majesty, the empress is here."
"No, I want to rest."
Although there was no response from outside,
