Accidentally Married Miss Empress

"Then...Aren't you mad at me?" Gong Yu asked hesitantly, feeling that her heart was about to pop out.

Dai Ruyan did not look down at Gong Yu, her fingertips rubbed the corner of Gong Yu's eyes, the two were so close that they could almost hear each other's breathing.

Gong Yu was nervous and didn't dare to move, so she looked at Dai Ruyan, like a prisoner who was about to be beheaded, as long as Dai Ruyan's words could absolve her of her sins.

Dai Ruyan, who did not speak a word, turned her fingertips to gently press the corner of Gong Yu's mouth and said in a low voice:

"I'm not angry, just..."

"If you like it, why did Xiaojiu steal the kiss?"

Hey? Gong Yu didn't quite understand what Dai Ruyan said at all.

Don't you steal the kiss, does that mean you want me to kiss in person now?

However, Dai Ruyan's aura is a bit strong right now, Gong Yu feels that she has not had the courage to kiss her, and if she makes a mistake, Ayan will definitely be angry.

"Then... I won't steal a kiss next time, I..."

Gong Yu paused and said, "Anyone who is awake in Ayan can do it?"

"no."

Forehead…

Dai Ruyan refused decisively.

Gong Yu felt that her heart was now as fragile as a balloon, going up and down.

"Even if you kiss because you like it, you can't do it regardless of the occasion. How can it be based on your character?"

Why does Gong Yu feel that Dai Ruyan seems to regard kissing as a negotiable matter.

This feels a little weird no matter what.

Gong Yu reached out and held Dai Ruyan's hand on her cheek and asked in a low voice, "Ayan, do you know what love is?"

Dai Ruyan's eyes showed confusion and replied: "Like, nothing more than being interesting to things or people, and it was only then that I had the intention of being close and showing affection."

The words are calm and calm, perhaps unfamiliar people will feel too indifferent when looking at Dai Ruyan like this.

But Gong Yu felt that Dai Ruyan might not have felt liking any object or person, or even felt liking this kind of emotion.

It's not that she doesn't like it, it's that she doesn't feel like it exists at all.

Thinking about it like this, it seems that many things can be explained and understood, but Gong Yu feels that it is too absurd.

People can understand the emotion, or cry, or laugh, or love, or hate this is the basic emotion of people.

Gong Yu felt that her head might be confused. Although Dai Ruyan was always too indifferent and calm on weekdays, she had clearly seen her smile.

It's just that Dai Ruyan is more expressionless, and even that smile can be fleeting. Gong Yu has seen it many times at the palace banquet, but Gong Yu thought that Dai Ruyan just didn't like it.

do not like?

Gong Yu suddenly remembered that when she first met Dai Ruyan, she had heard Dai Ruyan say this in Dai Garden, but her calm expression naturally said that she didn't like it.

But her expression didn't show any disgust at all, like a puppet without emotion.

Maybe Dai Ruyan is not used to it, but she may not feel it.

"Then I like Ayan, is Ayan happy?" Gong Yu asked tentatively.

Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's palm with her fingertips, her dark eyes like calm lake water, and said softly, "Xiao Jiu likes me, so of course I'm happy if she wants to get close to me."

This is a word that should be used for happiness, but Dai Ruyan has no happy expression.

"But..." Dai Ruyan paused and grabbed Gong Yu's hand and stretched out her other hand, frivolously raising Gong Yu's jaw and smiling:

"Besides me, does Xiaojiu like anyone else?"

Gong Yu stared blankly at Dai Ruyan, who had changed her aura, and didn't dare to take a breath to answer: "There is no one else."

"real?"

"real."

Although Dai Ruyan's eyes were still calm as usual, the corner of her mouth turned up and said, "Then I'll let you go this time."

As soon as the voice fell, the hand holding the chin also left, Gong Yu was gently embraced by Dai Ruyan, the cool palm caressed her back, and she heard Dai Ruyan whisper: "I I'm sleepy, Xiao Jiu will sleep with me."

"Yeah." Gong Yu tilted her head slightly and could even hear Dai Ruyan's steady heartbeat.

But his head was already in a mess. If Dai Ruyan couldn't feel the emotion, wouldn't his panic confession be ruined again?

Gong Yu, who had not recovered from the shock, was probably because the effect of incense on the side was really good, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

She didn't notice Dai Ruyan who closed her eyes at the side, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and then she opened her eyes again, her eyes softly falling on Gong Yu, who was sleeping in her arms.

Dai Ruyan raised her hand slightly and touched Xia Gongyu's lips lightly, and then withdrew her hand shyly, her eyes were full of confusion, she only whispered: "I like..."

The voice seemed calm, but also confused, Dai Ruyan lay on the side, her eyes moved from Gong Yu's eyebrows, nose, to the pursed lips.

As if hesitatingly stretched out his hand, his fingertips lightly rubbed Gong Yu's troubled and frowning brows, until the brows gently loosened, and Dai Ruyan released his hand again.

But Dai Ruyan didn't lie down, but got closer to Gong Yu, and didn't stop until it was close to Gong Yu's cheek.

The hall was very quiet, and Gong Yu's sleeping face was reflected in Dai Ruyan's eyes, and she could even hear Gong Yu's breathing beside her ears.

Dai Ruyan, who remained motionless, seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be quietly looking at Gong Yu, who was sleeping in her arms.

Until Dai Ruyan lowered her body carefully, reached out her hand and carefully rolled up the hair that fell from her ear, her lips came close to kissing Xia Gongyu's brow, and then fell on her cheek.

The movements were very gentle, Gong Yu in his arms didn't notice it at all, and fell asleep peacefully.

Dai Ruyan finally kissed the corner of her mouth lightly, and her movements stopped abruptly.

A few strands of the hair that was pulled behind the ear fell off inadvertently and brushed lightly on Gong Yu's cheek, making the sleeping Gong Yu seem to snort uncomfortably.

Fortunately, Gong Yu was quiet again after a while, Dai Ruyan just pulled away slightly, and his eyes lingered on the place he had just kissed.

The fingertips lightly scratched Gong Yu's nose, and Dai Ruyan lay on the side, looking at Gong Yu with a vague understanding in her eyes, then she tightly hugged Gong Yu's hand and closed her eyes quietly.

The hall was as quiet as ever, as if what just happened was just a prank.

The gurgling sounded in the abdomen, causing Gong Yu to wake up from her sleep, and Dai Ruyan, who was beside her, had disappeared, and the incense in the incense burner seemed to have burned out.

The sun outside the window seemed to be getting a lot bigger, and the eyes were still dazzling. Gong Yu stretched and looked around looking for Dai Ruyan's figure.

Getting up from the low couch, Gong Yu yawned sleepily and walked towards the outer hall.

I saw Dai Ruyan sitting by the window and reading a book, Gong Yu walked over and asked, "Ayan, how long have I slept?"

"It's almost time to apply." Dai Ruyan looked away from the book she was holding, and landed on Gong Yu, whose robe was full of folds.

Gong Yu sat lazily aside, stretched out his hand to touch his stomach and whispered, "No wonder I always feel so hungry."

"Did you eat early in the morning?" Dai Ruyan put down the book and stretched out her hand to sort out the clothes that were about to fall off Gong Yu's body.

"I woke up late this morning, so I just drank half a bowl of porridge, stuffed a few cakes in my mouth, and went to court."

"Who made Xiao Jiu snooze?"

Gong Yu lowered his head and rubbed against Dai Ruyan in front of him and said: "It's not my fault, it's all the fault that the mansion is too far from the palace, and it took most of the hour to drive the car."

Dai Ruyan stopped and asked, "Isn't there another mansion for Xiaojiu?"

"But other mansions are too far from Ayan's courtyard." Gong Yu was still sleepy and leaned against Dai Ruyan to respond: "Then I want to come to Ayan's place, how inconvenient."

"Good, sit down for me, the clothes are not easy to tie."

Dai Ruyan's voice was very soft.

Gong Yu had to sit up straight with her back straight. Although her eyelids were still a little heavy, the fragrance on Ruyan's body made it easy to relax.

When his eyes fell on Dai Ruyan's serious eyes, Gong Yu recovered and looked at Dai Ruyan with the usual expression.

I can't help but think of the last time I kissed Dai Ruyan while drunk, and it seemed that Dai Ruyan was as calm as ever afterward.

So if you guessed it like this, kissing may have no special meaning to Dai Ruyan at all.

It's no wonder that Dai Ruyan was just curious and asked why she wanted to steal a kiss when she was found to be stealing a kiss.

Because in Dai Ruyan's eyes, the key point is not the kiss, but the reason for doing the kiss.

Gong Yu, who was suddenly enlightened, felt that her love life might not be an ordinary bumpy road, and sighed inadvertently.

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu puzzled, raised her hand to hold Gong Yu's bowed head and asked, "Is your head uncomfortable?"

"There are a few tranquilizers in this incense, maybe it's a bit heavy for you, but you have a headache?"

Gong Yu hurriedly shook her head and responded, "It doesn't hurt, I'm just thinking about things."

"What are you thinking about being so fascinated?" Dai Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "It made me worry for nothing."

"Ayan, are you worried about me?"

Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan's eyes and asked.

Dai Ruyan sat on the side and looked at Gong Yu puzzled: "Of course."

"Then... will you be happy to see me?"

"If you are so obedient and obedient every day, I will naturally be happy."

Gong Yu sat cross-legged and looked at Dai Ruyan who was holding a book, thinking that maybe Dai Ruyan didn't know what she liked at all, at least she understood the basic emotions in her head, but she might not feel it in her heart. too bright.

Thinking like this, Gong Yu asked boldly, "Then...Ayan, do you like me too?"

Nai He Dai Ruyan didn't even move her head from the book, she just asked, "Is there any difference between like and dislike?"

"Of course there is." Gong Yu approached and said, "If we like it, we can always be together."

Dai Ruyan suddenly turned her head to look over, and asked with a very serious expression, "If you don't like it, wouldn't Xiao Jiu be with me?"

I don't know why Gong Yu always felt that Dai Ruyan's eyes and words were like scolding herself for being a scumbag.

An illusion, definitely an illusion.

Or Gong Yu didn't answer, Dai Ruyan seemed to be getting more serious, Gong Yu hurriedly explained: "Of course not, I just asked."

Dai Ruyan raised her fingertips and flicked Xia Gongyu's forehead, and said very coldly, "You can't even ask."

The force of this shot is still quite strong, Gong Yu touched her forehead in pain, looked at Dai Ruyan's expression, and felt up and down in her heart.

The maid outside the hall came in from the outside with food, Gong Yu sat upright and waited for the maid to leave.

Gong Yu looked at the food in front of him and said, "Is this lunch or dinner?"

"Let's call it lunch now." Dai Ruyan put down the book and asked, "Why don't you move your chopsticks? Didn't you say you were hungry?"

"Oh." Gong Yu took the soup and placed it beside Dai Ruyan's hand, and then took a portion of the soup himself.

Gong Yu saw Dai Ruyan holding a small bowl of soup and was hesitating in her heart. She didn't even wait for Dai Ruyan to say something else after drinking two soups, so she had to bite the bullet and ask:

"Ayan, you haven't told me the answer yet?"

"What's the answer?" Dai Ruyan put down the soup bowl and wiped her mouth with a towel in hand, looking at Gong Yu sideways.

"Just do you like me or not?"

Gong Yu asked with a blushing face.

Dai Ruyan blinked slightly and asked, "Do you like this question, is it important to Xiao Jiu?"

Gong Yuman nodded nervously.

I saw that Dai Ruyan seemed to be in deep thought, and then she responded seriously: "If there are only these two options, I should like it."

"Is Xiaojiu happy to hear such an answer?" Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at Gong Yu and asked with a smile.

Faced with such a casual answer from Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu felt that it was a bit sloppy, and was very gloomy, so she replied, "I'm not happy at all."

And the harem Yu Gu drank the soup and ate the chicken, but she didn't look at Dai Ruyan next to her.

Dai Ruyan poured a cup of tea and put it aside, looked sideways at Gong Yu, whose mouth was full of rice, and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu, why are you angry?"

"I'm not... angry." Gong Yu swallowed the rice, looking at Dai Ruyan with a smile on her face and felt like a big idiot, maybe Dai Ruyan was just teasing herself.

"I said I wasn't angry, I said I wasn't happy just now." Dai Ruyan said closer.

Gong Yu drank the hot soup and ignored Dai Ruyan's enthusiasm, and said to herself, "Ayan is a big bad guy."

"Where do you say I'm broken?"

Dai Ruyan approached and asked.

"I've seen you laugh at me."

Gong Yu took a deep breath and said.

"That's not laughing at you." Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand and gently pulled on Gong Yu's sleeve: "I just remembered that Xiaojiu said that if he liked it, we will always be together. I said long ago that of course we will always be together, so this is natural. I just like it."

"But Xiaojiu always asks blankly, I just think it's very interesting."

Gong Yu now feels that if Dai Ruyan is not pretending, or Dai Ruyan really doesn't understand the true meaning of a girl saying she likes a girl.

Perhaps in the conventional etiquette accepted by Dai Ruyan, she may have never heard of women falling in love.

Thinking like this, Gong Yu felt that she might slowly change her angle to communicate with Dai Ruyan.

Dai Ruyan took a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from the corner of Gong Yu's mouth, and asked softly, "Why don't you speak again?"

"My liking is different from A Yan's." Gong Yuman said seriously.

"Why is it different?"

"I would want to kiss Ayan, but Ayan wouldn't have such thoughts, right?"

Dai Ruyan stopped and said: "Xiao Jiu's liking feels like a child seeing something novel, because he likes it very much, so he has to hold it all the time and can't wait to sleep, right?"

This statement made Gong Yu unable to refute it.

Gong Yu hid behind Dai Ruyan's hand and said helplessly, "Then what does Ayan's love look like?"

"Me?" Dai Ruyan put the handkerchief aside, as if thinking about it, "It's probably because Xiao Jiu listens to me, I like Xiao Jiu very much."

"So if Xiaojiu just wants to kiss me, it's not impossible. It just has to be obedient. I can satisfy Xiaojiu in most things."

Gong Yu felt that she was going to be dizzy by Dai Ruyan. She fell back helplessly on the low couch, turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan and suddenly became confused. Can she be satisfied with what she likes?

And why does Dai Ruyan always treat herself as a child?

"Is Xiao Jiu not eating?" Dai Ruyan asked as he approached and touched Gong Yu's palm.

Gong Yu blinked and said, "I'm not too young now, it's time for Ayan to change her name."

Dai Ruyan leaned slightly closer, holding Gong Yu's hand in the palm of his hand: "Xiao Jiu, come and listen first?"

"Ayan will call me Ayu from now on."

"no."

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan in confusion and asked, "Why don't you like it?"

"Xiao Jiu is the most suitable." Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's palm with her fingertips, and half pulled Gong Yu to sit up.

"Ayu sounds good too."

"I do not like."

Forehead…

Dai Ruyan obviously didn't have any room for it, Gong Yu didn't expect to provoke such a big reaction and was stunned for a while.

Gong Yu didn't see Dai Ruyan's face softening for a while, Gong Yu sat on the side and whispered, "Sure enough, Ayan's like is still different from mine."

Gong Yu didn't wait for Dai Ruyan's response, and said in a disappointed voice, "There is something else in the mansion, I'll go back to the mansion first."

Before she turned around, Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand to grab Gong Yu, half hugged Gong Yu as if complaining, "Xiao Jiu, you are disobedient"

"I'm not disobedient." Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan Yingzai who was approaching.

"It's just that Xiao Jiu is not obedient."

Dai Ruyan slightly distanced herself, and asked with a serious expression, "Otherwise, today is so good, why would you have to leave for no reason now?"

Gong Yu didn't know how to respond, so she had to remain silent. Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's cheek with her palm and said softly, "Little Jiu, like and dislike, since I have chosen to like it, it's natural... I like it, right?"

"And if Xiaojiu wants to get close, as long as he doesn't mess around, I will naturally follow Xiaojiu."

The tone of these words was as if Dai Ruyan was coaxing a child.

Dai Ruyan said and came closer, kissed Xia Gongyu's cheek, smiled and reassured: "Xiao Jiu smile, okay?"

Gong Yu watched Dai Ruyan in front of her kissing herself, but her heart was beating fast involuntarily. Even if it is clear in his head that Dai Ruyan may choose to like it, he only makes a rational choice after thinking about it.

Maybe it's really like what Shisui'er said, something serious must have happened to Dai Ruyan when she was young, and it was strongly stimulated to Dai Ruyan.

Dai Ruyan in front of her only relies on the judgment of her brain for anything and people. She has no one in her heart and no emotion.

So she can ignore the cruel struggle in the court, and everything in the outside world has nothing to do with her. She can stay alone in this courtyard for many years, and even she may not be able to sleep at night, so she needs to put incense incense during the day to soothe the nerves. Sleeping herbs to fall asleep.

These symptoms remind Gong Yu that perhaps Dai Ruyan's spirit has been on the verge of collapse for a long time.

"I'm not angry." Gong Yu reached out and held Dai Ruyan's slightly cool hand and said seriously.

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu keenly, as if as long as there was something wrong with Gong Yu, she would not let go.

Gong Yu felt that Dai Ruyan's eyes were very cold, as if he was checking whether he would betray or not.

Until Dai Ruyan seemed to relax, she held Gong Yu's hand with a light smile, pulled Gong Yu to sit aside and said, "Then let me eat some, I haven't eaten it until early in the morning."

"it is good."

The hot soup on the small stove on the other side was still tumbling, filled with fragrance, Dai Ruyan's clenched hand did not loosen, instead he kept holding Gong Yu's hand.

Gong Yu could only eat what she could do for Ruyan, until Gong Yu shook her head and said she couldn't eat it.

Dai Ruyan put down the wooden chopsticks, but she didn't eat much herself.

After dinner, the two walked in the courtyard. As the sun approached dusk, the sky was covered with sunset, and even the lake water turned golden.

Usually Gong Yu is the head of the conversation, but now Gong Yu is looking at Dai Ruyan's clenched hand but doesn't know what to do, the two are very quiet.

"It's not long before the peach blossoms are in full bloom. The peach tree in Xiaojiu's mansion should be in full bloom again." Dai Ruyan rarely brought up the topic first.

Gong Yu responded somewhat unresponsively: "Well... yes."

"Second Princess Gong Ling invited me to go to her house to enjoy peach blossoms in a while. I think it will be very lively when I arrive." Dai Ruyan stopped and asked, "Do you want to go with Xiao Jiu?"

The breeze came slowly, and because of the sparkling water of the lake, it was refracted on Dai Ruyan's side, as if a shimmer of light fell on Dai Ruyan's side.

Dai Ruyan's body seemed to exude a shimmer, but she looked much thinner in this apricot-yellow gauze skirt.

Gong Yu can clearly feel that Dai Ruyan is trying his best to calm down, even though Gong Yu doesn't know what Dai Ruyan is hiding.

"Okay, I'll go with Ayan then."

I saw Dai Ruyan smiled and said softly: "Xiao Jiu has to talk and count."

"certainly."

The two talked intermittently, as if trying to avoid the previous unpleasantness, until the sunset was dim, and Dai Ruyan released her hand.

Gong Yu looked sideways at the darkened sky in the distance, Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand and held Gong Yu's face lightly and said, "If you are free, Xiao Jiu remember to come to me often, even if you sit for a while."

"I will."

"Remember." Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips and said, "But if you are very busy and don't come to me for a long time, I will..."

"What?"

Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "Guess what?"

Gong Yu shook her head and replied, "I can't guess."

"Stupid, what else can I do?" Dai Ruyan let go of her hand and said softly, "I have no choice but to find you, no matter where you hide, I will find you."

"I won't hide." Gong Yu looked directly at Dai Ruyan's calm eyes and whispered, "Even if I can't come, I will miss Ayan."

"real?"

Dai Ruyan's eyes lit up slightly and asked.

"I will never lie to Ayan."

"It will be nice to coax me." Dai Ruyan said with a chuckle, "It's getting dark, go back quickly."

Gong Yu rode a horse and slowly left the courtyard. When he looked back, he found that Dai Ruyan was still looking at the door.

This was the first time that Dai Ruyan would send Gong Yu to the door. Gong Yu only felt that her heart was trembling violently, so she reached out and waved, and she could vaguely see Dai Ruyan's smile.

Although Dai Ruyan may not really like it, Gong Yu feels that Dai Ruyan is still the best person to herself. I just feel inexplicably uncomfortable, because if Dai Ruyanru didn't like it, why would she be so kind to herself?

Gong Yu clenched the reins and looked up at the setting sun, thinking that no matter what the outcome was, Gong Yu had to find out what happened to Dai Ruyan's childhood.

The sound of the hooves clattered, and Dai Ruyan, who was beside the door at that time, looked at Gong Yu's back with a dim and bewildered gaze and disappeared in front of her eyes.

The maid on the side said, "Miss, the medicine is ready."

"I see."

Dai Ruyan turned around and stepped into the tree-lined courtyard, as if the small doubts in her eyes suddenly dissipated.

In March, when spring was in full bloom, Gong Yu, who had just come out of the shop, only sighed that the weather was so hot in March.

However, with the growth of some years, Gong Yu had to wear layer after layer in order not to be exposed. I was afraid that a normal person would become a fool.

When I came out of the sedan chair, I opened the curtain and saw a crowd of people at the gate of the mansion, and the old butler was busy in front of the gate of the mansion.

Gong Yu hurriedly called out, "Don't stop, keep going."

"Yes, Your Highness."

I don't know where there is a demonic wind, and Gong Yu, who has recently come to the door with many matchmakers, has a severe headache.

"Where is Your Highness going?" asked the servant outside the sedan chair.

"Go to the yamen."

"Yes."

When he arrived at the gate of the official mansion, Gong Yu fanned a fan in his hand and squinted slightly to see Qin Hua not far away.

The two walked to a shady place, Qin Hua shook his head and said, "Jin Zhaowen's body is not unusual. He fell into the water and suffocated to death. There are no wounds on his body and no signs of poisoning."

Gong Yu turned his head and asked, "This weather is so corrupt in the capital, why hasn't it been buried yet?"

"The Dali Temple is also investigating this matter, so the body is seized."

"As for His Highness's mention of inquiring about the servants or maids in the Daifu, I haven't heard anything yet."

"What do you mean there is no life?"

Qin Hua frowned and said, "None of the maids or servants who entered the Dai Palace have ever come out alive."

"Do those maids or servants have family members or friends who move around?"

"The Daifu only adopts orphans."

This Daifu is like a prison, no wonder Dai Ruyan doesn't like it.

"Why did His Highness visit the Daifu?" Qin Hua asked in confusion.

Gong Yu replied, "I just want to know what Sister Dai's likes are, and it has nothing to do with this case."

Qin Hua didn't ask any more questions, the two walked along the yamen and came to Jin Zhaowen's drunken restaurant.

The restaurant is very lavish, and there are many beggars outside the alley on the side, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

I remember the last time I was in this restaurant when I was drinking with Gong Yu at the Fifth Hall.

"The drinks here are not cheap." Gong Yu opened the folding fan and said.

Qin Hua frowned and said, "Yes, unless it's good news, Jin Zhaowen won't come here to drink."

Gong Yu looked around and said, "For example, he knows that he will be on the list, and he may even win the Zhonghui Yuan."

"The man asked him to meet here, either to give him the answer, or to tell him where the answer was hidden."

"His Royal Highness is right." Qin Hua pointed sideways and pointed to the other side: "Jin Zhaowen went to the appointment alone that night, and walked to this direction alone and drunk. This is what many shop assistants saw."

The two walked along the street to the bank of the moat, and the weeping willows swept the water. There were not many people on the bank.

It just happened that there was a little girl with a small figure who was exploring, and her actions were sneaky, which made Gong Yu feel strange.

Qin Hua walked up first and called, "Little girl, what are you doing here?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

This girl is really fierce!

Gong Yu stood on one side and looked at the lake waterway: "Someone fell into the water here recently, and I heard that the whole body is swollen and the face is extremely terrifying."

The little girl snorted in disapproval, Gong Yu opened the folding fan and said suddenly: "As a result, he was possessed by the ghost and climbed up from the water again. At that time, someone on the shore happened to be grabbed by the ghost by the ankle."

"Plop, guess what?"

"You! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Gong Yu fanned the wind with a smile and said, "I heard that someone saw him, and that person was standing right at your place, and he was dragged straight down."

Although this little girl was not afraid of the murderer, she did not expect to be afraid of ghosts. Gong Yu saw that her face had turned pale, so she stopped joking.

Qin Hua went into the water with a bamboo pole from one side, and tried the water depth nearby. When the bamboo pole was brought up, there were still a lot of water plants on it.

The little girl looked curiously and said, "What are you doing?"

"I won't tell you." Gong Yu walked towards Qin Hua with a smile.

"Hey! Why are you so stingy!" The little girl chased after Gong Yu and said.

Qin Hua stretched out his hand to measure the size, his brows were still furrowed and he said, "This water depth is indeed deep enough to drown a person."

Gong Yu found another bamboo pole and poked it into the water, seeming to be bored and said: "If a person can walk while drunk, it means that he should at least struggle and shout a few times. But the old man said he was straight. It fell, thumping like a stone without resistance."

"That's not right!"

"Maybe the person who fell into the water couldn't climb up after falling into the water?" the little girl beside him said curiously.

Qin Hua stared at the surface of the water and said, "It is possible that a large amount of water has been choked in and it is impossible to call. Moreover, there is a noisy city nearby, so the old man with poor hearing may not be able to hear it."

Gong Yu suddenly felt that the bamboo pole couldn't be pulled, so he used some strength, but still couldn't help but startled.

Isn't this being held by a ghost?

"Hey, why don't you keep shaking?"

Gong Yu smiled and said, "Come on, try it."

The little girl stretched out her hand to take the bamboo pole held by Gong Yu, and after pulling it, her face began to look wrong.

"Hey...isn't there a ghost holding it?"

"No, I was just joking."

"come here!"

Gong Yuxiang hid aside and said with a smile, "No, maybe I just want to chat with you."

Having said that, the little girl's eyes turned red, so Gong Yu had no choice but to reach out and take the bamboo pole and call, "Sir, this bamboo pole seems to be hooked on something."

Qin Hua stretched out his hand to take the bamboo pole, and after a while of strength, his entire face turned red before he pulled up the big lump that was entangled on the bamboo stick.

"What is this?" Gong Yu was about to approach, but her clothes were already tightly held by the little girl.

Gong Yu had no choice but to turn her head and said, "Are you pulling my clothes?"

"I'm afraid..."

"Then why are you here, don't say you don't know if something happened nearby?"

The little girl responded stubbornly: "I'm also like a detective."

"Then let go of your hands first, okay?"

"I do not."

Forehead…

Gong Yu had no choice but to say: "Don't be afraid that we are also investigating the case."

Unexpectedly, the little girl looked at Gong Yu suspiciously and said, "But you don't look like a detective."

"Then what do you think I'm doing?"

"You... like a little white face, your hands are even whiter than mine."

Qin Hua on the side laughed suddenly, Gong Yu sighed shamelessly: "Girl, you are pulling me like this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to marry?"

The little girl finally recovered, her face turned red, she quickly let go of her hand and said, "I won't marry Xiao Bailian."

Gong Yu took a deep breath and warned herself to keep a distance from this girl.

Qin Hua opened the thing wrapped by the weeds, and it turned out to be just a stone.

"The water plants on this stone are entangled with the bamboo poles, so they can't be pulled." Qin Hua said in a self-conscious manner.

Gong Yu looked at the stone, not only curiously said: "What kind of water plant is this powerful?"

"I haven't seen it either." Qin Hua smiled and ignored it. The sun was very bright now, and Gong Yure couldn't help suggesting to go back.

The little girl suddenly said, "Hey, aren't you investigating the case?"

"Didn't you just say I'm a little white face?" Gong Yu returned with a bamboo pole in his hand.

"Then you really didn't check it?"

"I won't tell you." Gong Yu finished speaking, ignoring the little girl behind.

Qin Hua wiped the sweat on his face and said, "It's possible that Jin Zhaowen was really drunk and drowned."

Gong Yu suddenly stopped and said, "Sir, is he guessing that Jin Zhaowen was killed by water plants while struggling after falling into the water?"

"Well, that's most likely to be the case at the moment."

"My condolences, sir, but I guess the person who got in touch with Jin Zhaowen should be the one related to the leaking case, so at least before the truth of the leaking case is found out, let's check the people who Jin Zhaowen came into contact with during the period before his death."

"Okay." Qin Hua replied calmly.

As evening approached, Gong Yu took a shower and changed clothes, and put on new robes deliberately, before rushing to the Second Princess Mansion in a sedan chair at dusk.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Gong Yu followed the servants into the palace, and saw that there were already a lot of people in the garden.

There are a lot of lanterns in the pavilion, which are used for lighting and also to get rid of mosquitoes.

After turning around, Gong Yu found Dai Ruyan, but now Gong Yu can no longer get in with the female family.

There are several screens in the middle, and the man on the other side has already started to drink lively. In the past, Gong Yu didn't drink at his age and it was fine.

But now Gong Yu has to learn to drink at least a few glasses, fortunately this wine is not strong.

When the surroundings became dark, the drinks still kept going. The small water in the stone pavilion in the garden was very tightly matched, and there were people over there who were playing frequently.

Gong Yu poured several cups and pretended to be drunk, so that was the excuse to go to the toilet to escape.

Along the corridor Gong Yu looked for Dai Ruyan's figure, but Dai Ruyan was always at a distance, so it was not practical for Gong Yu to call out quietly.

Just when Gong Yu was scratching his head and puzzled, he was tapped on the back, and Gong Yu almost cried out.

"Why are you here, little white face?" the little girl asked, leaning closer.

Gong Yu then responded with a sigh of relief: "Why should I tell you."

The little girl looked over there and said, "Oh, so you were peeking at them."

"Do you think I should shout?"

"do not!"

Gong Yu stretched out her hand to cover the little girl's mouth and said softly, "I just slipped over here, so don't make a sound."

The little girl rolled her eyes rather impolitely, and pointed at Gong Yu's hand to let go.

But if you let go, maybe the little girl will bite back suddenly, Gong Yu pretended to be vicious and said, "If you dare to speak out, I will kiss you in front of them, are you afraid?"

The little girl nodded and shook her head, Gong Yu couldn't understand what it meant.

When I was about to speak, I suddenly heard someone call: "Why is there someone in the stone forest behind this?"

"Could it be that who is in this private meeting?"

As soon as this sound came out, everyone laughed out loud, making it clear that they were waiting to watch the fun.

Gong Yu thought that this was bad, but the little girl suddenly stepped on Gong Yu and shouted angrily, "Stinky rascal!"

Immediately afterwards, he gave Gong Yu a loud slap, and then ran out of the stone forest with a blushing face, leaving Gong Yu alone in the stone forest, too painful to speak out.

If this is said, it is really dumb to eat coptis, and there is no way to say it.

"Sisters, don't look at it, maybe the young couple's interest." The second princess Gong Ling said with a drink and a smile.

The people who were cited smiled, and then returned to their seats. Gong Yu covered her face in pain and was limping as she was about to sneak out from the other side of the stone forest.

It's a pity that when this new robe came out of the gap in the stone forest, it was covered with ashes. Gong Yu stretched out his hand and swept away the stones and dust from his body, and suddenly a voice came from behind: "Xiao Jiu."

Gong Yu looked sideways and saw that Dai Ruyan did not know when to bypass the stone forest from the banquet.

His cheeks were already hot from the beating, but he was caught in the middle of nowhere, and he was really embarrassed.

Tonight's Dai Ruyan is full of crimson
