Accidentally Married Miss Empress

It was getting darker and darker in the waterside pavilion, Gong Yu was still lying flat, and the partridge bird that flew into the tree could still be heard cooing a few times before stopping.

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan who was sitting quietly, cleared her throat and said, "When did Ayan come?"

Before waiting for Dai Ruyan's reply, Gong Yu asked again, "Why don't you speak?"

Dai Ruyan just took a deep breath: "I heard that this time the injury was on the left shoulder bone and meridian, Xiao Jiu must be in pain, right?"

Gong Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Actually, it doesn't hurt. It just hurts badly. Now it's much better to apply herbs."

Regarding the injury, Gong Yu asked Qin Hua to strictly forbid the disclosure of the injury and the robbery, but Dai Ruyan still knew it clearly. I think it was the deaf and mute maid who reported it.

The maid approached with a lamp, lit the lamp in the pavilion, and then quietly retreated.

Outside the pavilion, he stretched out his hands and couldn't see his five fingers. Gong Yu said and stopped, "The woman who kidnapped me was Qingliu's daughter, Qingliu, who was the main criminal of the corruption case. Do you have any impression of Ayan?"

Staring closely at Dai Ruyan's changing expression, Gong Yu thought that as long as Dai Ruyan honestly had nothing to do with her, Gong Yu would never think further.

But Dai Ruyan's expression did not change in any way, and she even frowned and replied: "That year, I just asked people to re-check the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found that there were suspicions of false accounts, and then I just reported this matter. Tell your brother, and the rest will not know."

"Why does Xiaojiu ask about this old thing?"

In response to Dai Ruyan's candid reply, Gong Yu felt that she was the one with bad intentions, so she quickly avoided Dai Ruyan's gaze and whispered:

"No... That's what Qingshui'er said that I caused her family to be killed. That's why I wanted to ask."

Dai Ruyan leaned closer, cupped Gong Yu's cheek in her palm, and said with confidence: "This matter has already been settled, Xiao Jiu is just a victim, there is no need to worry about such matters, it is time to recuperate."

"Yeah." Gong Yu obviously felt that her cheeks were hot, but she didn't dare to move, for fear of hurting her left shoulder.

But Dai Ruyan still didn't let go, looked at Gong Yu very closely, and seemed to sigh, "Now you look a lot thinner."

Hey?

Gong Yu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Dai Ruyan would kiss her, but her head was getting more and more cranky.

"This may be because I have been too busy recently. I will eat more during my recuperation, and I will gain weight soon."

The maid outside the pavilion whispered, "It's time for Your Highness to take the medicine."

Only then did Dai Ruyan let go of the hand holding Gong Yu's cheek, straightened her clothes, and sat to the side.

No matter how you look at this atmosphere, it feels very strange.

"Come in." Gong Yu called out.

The maid took the decoction aside and stepped aside, Gong Yu looked at the brown decoction worriedly, and felt nauseated.

Dai Ruyan reached out and picked up the medicine bowl and said, "If the medicine is cold, it will be more bitter."

Gong Yu wanted to sit up a little bit, but Dai Ruyan stopped her, "You lie down and don't tug at the wound, I'll feed you."

The soup was really bitter, but Gong Yu had to resist in front of Dai Ruyan, so Gong Yu frowned and swallowed the soup.

After finally seeing the bottom, Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but said, "This medicine is really bitter."

Dai Ruyan held a handkerchief and wiped the corner of Gong Yu's mouth, then put the candy in Gong Yu's mouth and said with a smile, "Then you were just as brave as you were drinking."

Was it seen to be stubborn?

Gong Yu buried her head in the quilt with an embarrassed expression and said in a low voice, "It's getting dark, Ayan, aren't you going back?"

"Well, I'll go home later."

Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand to straighten Gongyu's scattered hair, and her cool fingertips gently probed into Gongyu's scattered collar, Gongyu looked at Dai Ruyan like a frightened rabbit.

This is too ambiguous, so Gong Yu couldn't think about it too much, she got up and asked, "Ayan...what are you doing?"

"Give you medicine."

Gong Yu just saw the porcelain bottle in Dai Ruyan's hand, and felt lost for a while, and said in a low voice, "The medicine... I'll take it myself?"

"no."

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with seriousness, and gently pulled Gong Yu's collar with her fingertips and said softly, "Let me see how serious the injury is."

When the cool ointment touched the wound, Gong Yu couldn't control the subconscious body shaking.

"Xiao Jiu, did I... hurt you?" Dai Ruyan stopped, frowned and asked.

"No, the wound is already quite painful." Gong Yu turned her head to the side and couldn't help but be glad that the oil lamp wasn't on, otherwise her flushed face would have been looked at by Dai Ruyan, and she might have been worried again.

Although it is autumn, it is not very cold at night, but the collar that was torn apart by Dai Ruyan's light can still feel the warm breath falling on the exposed skin.

The trembling was so severe that Gong Yu had to bite her tongue to stop herself from thinking.

Dai Ruyan started very lightly, smeared the ointment very seriously, and even got very close to see Gong Yu's injury.

Gong Yu peeked at Dai Ruyan who was so serious, and her restless heart began to beat again.

In the past, the water pavilion was very lively. It was not the noisy cicadas, or the birds nesting among the branches were chirping non-stop, and even occasionally, a fish suddenly jumped out of the pool.

But tonight was too quiet, and there were never even mosquitoes. Gong Yu asked disguisedly, "Does my wound look scary?"

Dai Ruyan was wrapped in gauze and responded with a slight pause: "Fortunately, it's just that most of the vicinity except the bright red and blue where the dagger is pierced has blue and purple bruises."

"That's really scary." Gong Yu said awkwardly.

"Little Nine..."

"Um?"

Dai Ruyan carefully pulled on Gong Yu's clothes and asked hesitantly, "Can you still move your left hand?"

"Of course I can, but it's too painful now. I promise to be alive again in a few months." Gong Yu said comfortingly.

"That's good." Dai Ruyan muttered in a low voice.

I vaguely saw fireflies running into this water pavilion, Gong Yu looked at them and said, "Fireflies are so beautiful."

In summer, there are many pools with fireflies, which is one of the reasons why Gong Yu likes to carry it in the waterside pavilion.

Dai Ruyan looked sideways and said, "If Xiao Jiu likes it, why don't I have someone grab some for you and put it in this yard?"

"Need not."

"Why?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in confusion.

Gong Yu said with a smile, "I just like the fireflies in my garden, but I don't like the ones outside."

Dai Ruyan froze for a moment and smiled and said, "Nonsense, how can you tell which ones are fireflies in your yard and which ones are outside?"

"Of course it's my... intuition."

"nonsense."

The lights in the pavilion were very dark, and the conversation between the two was very light, but the cicadas outside were a little disturbing. Maybe Gong Yu was getting sleepy after drinking the medicine, and fell asleep unconsciously. .

Dai Ruyan on the side looked at Gong Yu who was sleeping quietly, rubbed the frown of the next Gong Yu with her fingertips, and let go of her hand when she heard Gong Yu murmur.

In the dead of night, Ru Yan came out of the pavilion, and the deaf-mute maid was waiting outside the pavilion.

"Take good care of her for me, and your family will be safe and sound." Dai Ruyan said in a low voice.

The deaf-mute maid beside her bowed her head and bowed.

Leaving the mansion, Dai Ruyan got on the sedan chair and stared at his fingertips, as if he could still see the dazzling bruises and the bright red wounds on the white and flawless body exposed in front of him.

The eyes that were still full of pity were instantly overwhelmed by the strong killing intent, and the expression changed so quickly, as if it was another person.

After more than a month, the mist shrouded the entire mansion in the early morning, and the weather plummeted, so Gong Yu left the water pavilion and returned to live in the palace.

Although the left hand is still inconvenient to move, but fortunately the pain is much less. Gong Yu is drinking hot porridge and listening to several account book gentlemen reading about the store's income in recent days.

After checking a few books, several account book gentlemen left. While Gong Ling was drinking pork ribs soup in the house, the old butler outside the door turned pale and ran in in a hurry.

Gong Yu took a portion of the soup and handed it to the old housekeeper to comfort him: "The housekeeper is also old, so there is no need to be in such a hurry."

The old butler drank the soup and said calmly, "Your Highness, the female assassin was found last time."

"Okay, I'm going to cross-examine her when I have something else to do."

"No, it's better not to go now, Your Highness." The old butler reached out and stopped Gong Yu.

Gong Yu was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"The female assassin was...killed."

"killed?"

In addition to her own subordinates looking for this female assassin, is there any other enemy?

The old butler said hesitantly, "Old slave went to take a look, it's really vicious."

"Vicious? How did the female assassin die?"

"My hands and feet were broken alive, and my body was dripping with blood. I don't know how many knives were cut. I heard that I was still breathing when the ancestral hall of the Qing family's old house was discovered." The old housekeeper stopped and said: "Your Highness, How much hatred this man has solved."

Gong Yu could probably imagine the **** scene. Seeing the half bowl of sparerib soup left, she felt nauseated and wanted to vomit, and hurriedly picked up the tea and drank it.

Who has such hatred with Qingshui'er? This kind of method is not something that ordinary people in the world can do. Instead, it is more like a kind of punishment and revenge.

After noon, Gong Yu and Qin Hua played chess in the hall and remembered how Qingshui'er died, and asked, "Can you go and investigate Qingshui'er's body?"

Qin Huazhi paused for a moment and replied: "Well, the method of death is quite tragic. I heard that there was an arrow next to the corpse that was half submerged, and there was a strange pattern on it, which was the same as the arrow that His Highness had brought. patterns."

"Sir means the same person."

"At least it's from the same sect." Qin Hua thought about it and said, "In recent years, Jianghu has created a new assassination sect, and the sect's weapon logo is a written word of death, like a ghost trying to kill."

Mourning word, no wonder Gong Yu always feels like something familiar every time he sees this pattern.

Suddenly I remembered that when the Fourth Highness restaurant was assassinated, I seemed to have seen a weapon with this pattern.

This at least shows that the assassination of the Fourth Highness was because someone really wanted to kill him, and this assassination sect had something to do with the struggle for power in the royal family.

Just when Gong Yu was fascinated, the servant outside the door called out, "Your Highness, the maid is waiting in the waterside pavilion."

Gong Yu took back his god, but Qin Hua suddenly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, the minister has to retire in advance."

This is more than once, Qin Hua deliberately avoided Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu thought it was just a coincidence at first, but when it was always like this, Gong Yu had to doubt it.

Qin Hua and Dai Ruyan knew each other, maybe even had a deeper contact.
