Accidentally Married Miss Empress

In the late autumn, in the case of corruption, Gong Yu forcibly ordered the execution of more than ten people, and sent someone to confiscate the treasury of the corrupt officials and bribes, thereby establishing Qin Hua as the Minister of Punishment.

In order to combat the wind of corruption, Gong Yu asked Qin Hua to revise the laws and regulations of the palace country, and the punishment for corruption was detailed to the standard of embezzling and accepting bribes.

For a while, the court was overwhelmed. After all, there has never been a new emperor in the palace country who ordered the beheading of third-rank officials.

There are eyes and ears everywhere in the capital, and the news spreads as soon as the news spreads, and the emperor's feet are strict, and the counties and counties in the natural palace and country will be much more peaceful.

In the late autumn season, the autumn wind was slightly cool. One morning when Gong Yu woke up, she felt a little dizzy, but she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't expect it to turn into a low-grade fever and cough.

My head is dizzy all day long, my appetite is not as good as it used to be, and it is also good to drink medicine every day.

Gong Yu couldn't help feeling a little upset, but because of coughing, she often woke Dai Ruyan at night, and she was full of guilt.

In the early morning, Gong Yu clearly woke up, but her whole body was dizzy, and she even had a headache, and her throat felt like a burning pain.

After finally getting up slowly, the sweat on his cheeks was still a little cold, and Dai Ruyan quietly fell asleep beside him.

The sky outside the window was only dimly bright, Gong Yu got up and staggered and sat on the chair beside him, poured warm tea and took a few sips.

Outside the slightly open window, thick fog covered the imperial city, leaving only a hazy patch.

Gong Yu coughed a few times, Dai Ruyan on the other side seemed to wake up, sat up slightly and asked, "Where is Xiao Jiu sitting?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little thirsty."

Dai Ruyan got up and walked over, looking at Gong Yu's pale cheeks, and wiping the sweat on Gong Yu's cheeks with his palm, "Don't go to the morning court today, let the imperial doctor take a good look."

"Okay." Gong Yu blinked in response.

When Gong Yu had a high fever at night and fell into a drowsiness, until dusk of the next day, Gong Yu slowly woke up and was very tired.

"Does it feel better?" Dai Ruyan said in a low voice, holding the decoction in her hand, "Well, it's just that my head is still a little dizzy."

"Last night, Xiao Jiu was burned out, talking nonsense in his mouth."

"No wonder I feel a little uncomfortable in my throat." Gong Yu smiled and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Dai Ruyan held the decoction and said, "Come on, drink some decoction. If you don't have a fever, you'll be fine."

Gong Yu frowned slightly and almost vomited it out in his stomach. After finally drinking the soup, a candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth.

"Honey, this medicine is a bit bitter, so I'll prepare candied fruit."

"It's so sweet."

"Does Xiao Jiu like it?"

Dai Ruyan wiped Gong Yu's cheeks with a handkerchief in her hand. Gong Yu set her eyes on the low table next to the memorial and said, "There must be a lot of memorials accumulated in the past two days."

"I have reviewed the memorials accumulated in the past few days for Xiao Jiu."

"Ayan alone?"

"Well, Xiao Jiu is just too busy, so she's exhausted."

Gong Yu looked at the pale cyan in Dai Ruyan's eyes, although she was wearing light makeup, she couldn't hide the tiredness in her eyes.

"Ayan must be exhausted?" Gong Yu asked Ruyan's palm while rubbing her cheek.

"No, Xiao Jiu will wake up just fine." Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's cheek in the palm of his hand and said softly: "Xiao Jiu, don't lose any more weight, otherwise I will be very distressed."

"It's okay, I will grow fleshy as soon as I eat it."

Dai Ruyan pursed her lips and smiled, gently stroked Gong Yu's brow with her fingertips and said, "But when Xiao Jiu is sick, the whole person is much thinner."

Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand lightly, and kissed the palm to comfort her: "No matter how thin I am, I am still fatter than Ayan, and Ayan is scary thin."

"Is it scary?"

"Yeah, I always worry that if there is a strong wind one day, Ayan will be blown down."

"Nonsense again." Dai Ruyan poked Gongyu's cheek with her finger and said, "I'm not like Xiao Jiu who is always sick and worrying."

Gong Yu buried half of her face under the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Ah Yan, does this dislike me?"

"I'm joking with Xiaojiu."

"Hmph, Ayan just hates me."

Dai Ruyan held the quilt with her fingertips and said, "Xiao Jiu, if you hide under the quilt, I won't be able to see you."

Gong Yu let go, and Dai Ruyan gently tore off the quilt, only to see Dai Ruyan holding Gong Yu's face with both hands, slightly bowing her head and kissing Xia Gongyu's pale cheek, and said softly, "Xiao Jiu, hurry up. It just gets better."

The fingertips that held the earlobe lightly, stroked the fine soft hair beside Gong Yu's cheeks, Dai Ruyan's eyes were full of pity.

"Ayan, does it smell bad on me?"

After all, it is easy to sweat at night with a fever.

"No." Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's cheek closely, and listened to Gong Yu's somewhat flustered heartbeat in a low voice: "Did Xiao Jiu not realize that the clothes have been changed?"

Gong Yu raised his hand blankly, looked at his clothes, and looked at Dai Ruyan with reddened cheeks and said, "I...now I found it."

"Is this shy?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a smile in her eyes, and kneaded Gong Yu's earlobe with her fingertips and said softly, "Xiao Jiu is not like this on weekdays."

"What happened to my day?"

Dai Ruyan distanced herself and looked down at Gong Yuying: "Xiao Jiu is always very enthusiastic on weekdays, why is she blushing like an ordinary little girl?"

Gong Yu turned her head slightly to avoid Dai Ruyan's straightforward gaze and said, "Ayan will speak rude words."

"If A-Yan is sick, I will naturally take care of A-Yan carefully, but A-Yan is like a normal person, as if he is teasing me."

"Where did I tease Xiao Jiu?" Dai Ruyan's fingertips lightly touched Gong Yu's unbundled strands of hair, and the corners of his mouth raised lightly, "Xiao Jiu's mind is not right, naturally it's easy..."

"Easy what?"

Dai Ruyan let go of her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It's easy to think wildly."

Gong Yu stared blankly, reached out and lightly held Dai Ruyan's hand that was hanging on the side and asked tentatively, "Has Ayan never thought about me?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's just... the same idea as me."

Dai Ruyan smiled and held Gong Yu's hand back in a low voice: "I don't know what Xiao Jiu is thinking about in his head?"

This is definitely being teased.

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan, who was smiling like a spring breeze, with a lifeless expression on her face. Although she looked good, she couldn't eat it, which was really itchy.

"Sure enough, Ah Yan doesn't understand the way of husband and wife at all."

"The way of husband and wife?"

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu sideways, her eyebrows turned mellow, and the beads next to her ears shook slightly, which was very dazzling.

It seems that since getting married, Dai Ruyan's makeup or jewelry is much more delicate than before.

Just being looked at like this, Gong Yu couldn't help but feel a heartbeat, and unconsciously pursed her lips tightly. No matter how you look at this small gesture, she is a little girl.

Dai Ruyan on the side raised her eyebrows and looked at Gong Yu's small movements and asked, "Why don't you continue talking?"

"Say...what?" Gong Yu blinked and responded with a guilty conscience.

"My husband and wife with Xiao Jiu."

If it wasn't clear that Dai Ruyan really didn't understand this, Gong Yu would have thought that Dai Ruyan was teasing herself.

"Little Nine..."

"Well, what's wrong?"

Dai Ruyan laughed softly: "We should be the way of wives and wives."

"The way of wives and wives is not impossible, anyway, it's all about..."

"What do you want?"

Gong Yu was stared at and felt more guilty. She poked Dai Ruyan's palm with her fingertips and said, "It's... the bridal chamber."

It's been several months, and seeing that Dai Ruyan obviously has no idea, Gong Yu can only be cheeky.

However, Dai Ruyan was only stunned for a moment, and clenched Gong Yu's hand between her fingers and asked, "Xiao Jiu, say it again?"

ah?

"I won't say it." Gong Yu felt that something must be happening on behalf of Ruyan to make fun of herself.

Gong Yu buried half of her face in the quilt and pretended to be asleep.

Dai Ruyan on the side poked Gongyu's cheek with her fingertips and whispered, "Little Jiu?"

"Xiao Jiu, are you asleep?"

"Well, fell asleep."

Dai Ruyan raised her lips lightly, looked at Gong Yu softly, and said softly, "I asked someone to cook fresh fish soup. It's getting dark, and it's time to eat."

"Why don't you eat one piece of food, and Xiao Jiu will sleep well for a while?"

Her stomach was screaming, and Gong Yu came out and looked at Dai Ruyan with a sincere face, inexplicably and very heartbroken.

Could it be that Dai Ruyan really didn't want to get closer?

The words have been so straightforward that it is obvious that Gong Yu can't say anything else. Who can think of how innocent and beautiful Gong Yu thought at the beginning.

I didn't realize that getting married is a hurdle, but if you get married, Gong Yu can only provide for a good lady like Ruyan.

Gong Yu put on thick clothes, and after washing up, his contemporaries sat down like Yan Yan.

Bright lights were burning in the hall, Gong Yu reached out and took the soup bowl that Dai Ruyan handed over, sighing and sighing, "This soup is really delicious."

"Your body hasn't recovered yet. You can't eat too greasy food. I'm also worried that Xiao Jiu will not be used to it."

"No, it tastes good."

Most of the time when she was recovering from illness, Gong Yu's childhood was still quite nourishing.

Dai Ruyan's review of memorials is very fast, and sometimes Gong Yu can't keep up. Two people are always much faster than one person.

But even so, Gong Yu tried to bring as many memorials to herself as possible, because the provincial Dai Ruyan was too tired.

Sitting in the hall all day, after reviewing the memorials every day, Gong Yu would take a nap, and Dai Ruyan would stay by the side most of the time.

Even if Gong Yuming showed careful thinking, but Dai Ruyan just had no idea, and the beauty plan didn't work very well, not to mention it was late autumn, and if she wore a small skirt, she would probably be criticized for Dai Ruyan.

When Qin Hua came to discuss state affairs, while Dai Ruyan was teasing the little rabbit, Gong Yu was eating roasted sweet potatoes and asked, "Mr. Qin, what's the matter?"

"WeChen is here to present a list of the number of properties that corrupt officials have put into the treasury."

A list was presented early in the morning, so Qin Hua would come here specially?

Gong Yu put down the half-eaten roasted sweet potato, stretched out the list, and saw that there was a list of officials who secretly manipulated the imperial examinations in previous years.

And the top officials are also the Prime Minister and the Taifu. The list is clearly divided. Gong Yu looked at it and asked, "Is this list, Mr. Qin, verifiable?"

"It's just a preliminary estimate, and I'll wait for Wei Chen to ask people to check it carefully."

Qin Hua glanced at Dai Ruyan aside with a little fear.

The relationship network above almost includes most of the officials in the court. No wonder Gong Yu always feels that these officials are closely connected. Whenever a decision is made, the two old foxes do not respond, but a group of people below have begun to roar.

Gong Yu frowned slightly and said, "We will investigate this matter secretly for the time being."

"Yes."

After Qin Hua left, Gong Yu unfolded the list, eating roasted sweet potatoes with one hand, and suddenly glanced at Chu Feixun's list.

This Chu Feixun didn't have any splashes in the court, and people looked very honest. I think the second princess was also a good choice.

Last year, during the imperial examination, a group of people were killed and injured, and a group of people were replaced.

If it is always controlled by this group of people, it is difficult for Gong Yu to arrange his own power in the government.

"What did Xiao Jiu think about so ecstatically?"

"I'm thinking about the cause of the casualties of the imperial examination officials last year. It seems that it started when someone deliberately leaked the answers to the examination."

Dai Ruyan sat by the side with the little rabbit in her arms, glanced at the list, and said darkly, "The imperial examinations are held once every three years, and the next imperial examinations will be two years later. How does Xiaojiu find out about this now?"

Gong Yu turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan, only to see Dai Ruyan's expression as usual, her eyes were clear and bright, obviously she didn't care about it.

But there are various indications that Dai Ruyan is the most likely person to do the behind-the-scenes thing.

The case of leaking the question aroused suspicion and suspicion within the Chaotang party. Now that I think about it, it seems that this case happened after Dai Ruyan said that he did not want to leave the capital because it was interesting.

Perhaps Dai Ruyan's purpose at that time was to create chaos among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Gong Yu thought like this, lowered her head and bit the roasted sweet potato, put down the rabbit in her hand on behalf of Ruyan, poured the tea and said, "I'm going out of the palace tomorrow."

"Out of the palace?"

"What does Ayan want to do?"

Dai Ruyan drank the tea and said, "Second Princess's wedding banquet, Xiao Jiu is busy with government affairs, but as a queen, she still has to attend some affairs."

"I also need to go."

"Xiao Jiu, let's see how many discounts are still unapproved?"

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan tightly and said, "When will Ayan come back?"

"Return to the palace at about dusk."

"so late?"

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu slightly helplessly and said, "Wedding banquets are often lively until late at night. Is it still too late for me to come back at dusk?"

"I don't want Ayan to go." Gong Yu leaned on Dai Ruyan's side, pulled Dai Ruyan's drooping sleeves in a low voice, "Then the second imperial sister is a wolf, if I didn't guard, if Ayan didn't What if you were bullied?"

With Dai Ruyan gently pulling her ears, Gong Yu had to sit down obediently.

"Does Xiao Jiu think I look easy to bully?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu with a smile between her eyebrows.

Forehead…

It seems that someone who can bully Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu has not seen it yet.

Gong Yu blinked and replied innocently, "I'm not worried about Ayan."

Gong Yu said these numb words by herself, and she felt goosebumps all over the floor.

Dai Ruyan gently scratched the nose of Xia Gongyu with her fingertips and said, "What exactly do you want?"

"Second Huangjie made me almost sink into the water last time. Why does A-Yan still attend her wedding banquet?"

"Chu Fei's official position is small, but her father is the old Marquis Chu Fei, who is as famous as General Song. What do you think your second emperor wants to do?"

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan blankly and said, "Why don't I know about this?"

"Because the old Marquis Chu Fei is old now and has long since gone to the court, and Chu Feixun is not the son-in-law, so he left the mansion with anger and participated in the imperial examination to get a fifth-rank Beijing official. Very few people in the court know his details."

Dai Ruyan took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Second Huangjie is really too persistent."

Gong Yu couldn't help but sigh, looked at Dai Ruyan's delicate makeup and said in a low voice, "Before our wedding banquet, the second emperor secretly made a lot of stumbling blocks, and she really fell in love with Ayan."

"What are you talking about again?"

Dai Ruyan put down the tea cup and asked, "Could it be that Xiao Jiu still suspects me?"

"Nope."

"I'm thinking when did A-Yan know that the second emperor likes women?"

Dai Ruyan frowned slightly, as if remembering something bad, and said with a serious expression, "Xiao Jiu asked what these dirty things do?"

Gong Yu was a little surprised by this reaction, and looked at Dai Ruyan and said, "Ayan is angry?"

"Could it be that the second emperor did something bad to Ayan?"

Gong Yu asked with a serious face.

"No, I just think your second emperor is dirty."

Dai Ruyan said this, and caressed Gongyu's cheek with her palm: "Xiaojiu is different from the second emperor, Xiaojiu is very clean."

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan with some confusion and asked, "What do you mean by dirty?"

"Don't ask any more." Dai Ruyan pinched Xia Gongyu's cheek with her fingertips, pecked it lightly, and then pulled away.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, Gong Yu can clearly feel that Dai Ruyan's eyes show obvious disgust.

One can't help but guess that the second imperial sister's reputation in the capital is indeed comparable to that of Gong Qingyan, who openly raised the young son.

Could it be that the second imperial sister wanted to force her to replace Ruyan?

It seems unlikely, if this is the case, the second emperor will not be able to live now.

Gong Yu's eyes sometimes peeked at Dai Ruyan, who was beside him, thinking about the dirty words that Dai Ruyan said in his head.

Maybe it means that the second princess has something to do with the female relatives raised in the mansion?

No matter how to guess, Gong Yu didn't have the guts to ask again, Dai Ruyan put her hand on the back of Gong Yu's hand and said, "Don't allow Xiao Jiu to think wildly."

"I don't want to, but as long as it's about A-Yan, it seems like I can't help but think about A-Yan's affairs automatically."

Gong Yu pursed her lips tightly, answering the words very seriously.

Dai Ruyan turned her head slightly to look at Gong Yu and said in a low voice, "Do you really want to know for a long time?"

Gong Yu nodded and responded, "Yes."

"Actually, it's just that when your second emperor was drunk, she was hanging out with the female family members in her mansion. I accidentally bumped into it."

"and then?"

"Where is there anything else?" Dai Ruyan said helplessly, Gong Yu: "I was really disgusted and left halfway."

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan's eyes and vaguely felt that Dai Ruyan still had a short story to tell.

Dai Ruyan gently stroked Gong Yu's brow and said solemnly, "Xiao Jiu is not allowed to imitate your second imperial sister, otherwise..."

"How about otherwise?"

Gong Yu laughed mischievously.

"Then I won't forgive Xiao Jiu."

"I do not know."

Dai Ruyan smiled and replied, "I know, Xiao Jiu won't."

Gong Yu always felt that Dai Ruyan didn't understand love affairs, but she didn't expect that it was not understanding, but disgust. It really couldn't be worse than this.

"Okay, if you continue to ask, today will have to pass for more than half a day, and these papers have not yet been approved." Dai Ruyan said, letting go.

The unlovable Gong Yu sighed and picked up the memorials on the side. The piles of papers accumulated day by day are really a headache.

The next day, like Yanli Palace, Gong Yu was alone and guarding a pile of books. Suddenly, a pigeon stopped by the window. Gong Yu got up and unfolded the letter, with a look like a resentful woman in the deep palace.

At dusk, when Zhezi barely managed to cope, the sunset outside turned the entire sky into a golden yellow. Gong Yu was very decadent lying on the reclining chair, looking out the window with a confused expression.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened a lot that Dai Ruyan returned to the palace. The candlesticks were not lit in the palace, so it would still be a little dark.

Gong Yu looked sideways at Ru Yan, who was walking towards the modern age and complained with her eyes open, "It's going to get dark now."

Dai Ruyanjing sat beside her, and pressed her fingertips against Gong Yu's mouth, "After a while on the road, I heard from the palace servant that Xiaojiu hasn't eaten yet?"

"I'm waiting for Ayan to come back." Gong Yu sat up and reached out to lightly hold Dai Ruyan's hand.

"Stupid, I didn't come back until I ate the banquet."

"Ayan must have only drank a mouthful of soup."

Gong Yu said and got up, stretched out her hand and pulled Dai Ruyan to the outer hall. It was much brighter outside, and Dai Ruyan asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"I'm hungry, I want Ayan to accompany me to dinner."

When the two of them were seated, the maids placed the food, Gong Yu held the soup and handed it to Dai Ruyan's palm and said, "Today is the fish soup that A Yan loves to drink."

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu awkwardly, but didn't say anything, just took a small mouthful of soup with a wooden spoon.

Gong Yu's unusual enthusiasm, from serving tea to picking fishbone, Dai Ruyan asked hesitantly, "What happened today?"

"Nothing, I just want Ayan to have a meal with me today."

"But in the past, Xiao Jiu was not so abnormal."

"Do I look weird like this?"

Dai Ruyan nodded and replied, "Well, I always feel like Xiao Jiu has done something wrong."

This is clearly a gesture of good will!

Gong Yu reluctantly put the fish in Dai Ruyan's small plate and said, "I am so obedient on weekdays, but Ayan actually thinks me so badly?"

"But Xiao Jiu was not so diligent in the past."

"I just did it because I wanted to do it." Gong Yu didn't want to explain anymore, and simply changed the subject and asked, "Is the wedding banquet of the second emperor sister lively today?"

Dai Ruyan ate the fish and replied, "Most of them are acquaintances at banquets in the past, and there are no new faces."

Gong Yu took a meatball and ate it. Seeing that Dai Ruyan's expression didn't change, she naturally couldn't tell anything from this alone.

"Is the food delicious?"

"generally."

The topic stopped, Gong Yu couldn't think of anything to chat about, and Dai Ruyan didn't seem like someone who could take the initiative to speak.

After the meal, Dai Ruyan got up to take a bath, without any intention of talking to Gong Yu again.

In the middle of the night, Gong Yu was lying sideways in the reclining chair, and the moon outside was shining brightly, and Dai Ruyan was sitting in front of the dresser.

It was clearly in a hall, but Gong Yu felt so far away.

After grooming, Dai Ruyan came over in a plain single coat and asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

"I'll lie down again, the moon is really full today."

"Yes."

Gong Yu turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan, pursed her lips slightly and said, "If Ayan is tired, go to sleep first."

Dai Ruyan sat on the side, and lightly touched Gong Yu's warm palm with her fingertips and said softly: "The closer to the end of the year, the busier the affairs in the courtroom, if Xiao Jiu doesn't rest earlier, I'm afraid he won't be able to get up again tomorrow."

"No, I slept this afternoon and I'm in good spirits now."

Gong Yu looked at the moon outside, and lightly held Dai Ruyan's hand with her fingertips and said, "Ayan's hand is a little cold."

"It may be that the windows in the temple are open, and the wind outside is a little cool."

Gong Yu sat up a little and said, "Why don't Ayan go to bed first?"

"No hurry, I'll wait for Xiao Jiuyi to go to sleep."

"What if I'm going to sleep on this recliner tonight?"

Dai Ruyan raised her eyebrows and rubbed Gong Yu's earlobe with her fingertips: "Xiao Jiu is not angry, why do you need to sleep with me on the bed?"

"Who said you weren't angry?"

Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan and said, "I'm quietly angry in my heart."

It was normal to attend a wedding banquet, but it was not normal to go to the Sixth Emperor on the way.

However, when Gongyu heard the news, her head was still a little stunned. It was not what Ruyan said before she left the palace in the Ming Dynasty.

Hey, poor Gong Yu buried her head in reviewing the book, and fell asleep.

Dai Ruyan didn't know all of this, just looked at Gong Yu quietly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I was very obedient and obedient when I left the palace this morning. Why do you frown when you come back?"

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan sadly, thinking about the scene where Dai Ruyan mentioned yesterday that she ran into the second emperor's sister and other women, she couldn't help but think with fear.

Could it be that Dai Ruyan actually felt that it was awkward for a girl to be with a girl from the bottom of her heart, so she showed such disgust?

Thinking like this, Gong Yu only felt that her little heart was hurting like it was stabbed by a knife.

However, Gong Yu still didn't know how to ask Dai Ruyan, after all, Dai Ruyan seemed to be somewhat resistant to something closer.

"Little Nine?"

"Um."

Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's cheek lightly in her palm and whispered, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Gong Yu replied hesitantly, "Yes."

"Then Xiao Jiu tell me?"

"I don't know what to say to Ayan."

"There is always a reason for things, and Xiaojiu will do whatever he thinks of in his head."

Dai Ruyan frowned slightly and looked at Gong Yu and said, "You are so helpful in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable looking at it."

Gong Yu pursed her lips and replied hesitantly, "Ayan dressed so beautifully today, just to attend the banquet of the Second Sister?"

"This is just clothes according to the queen's specifications. Is it possible that Xiao Jiu is still unhappy because I went to the wedding banquet of the second emperor?"

"I mean, Ayan went to see someone else today, right?"

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Jiu sent someone to follow me?"

"Ayan didn't deny it, that is to admit that he went to see the Sixth Emperor, right?"

"Yes, I'm going to see Gong Liang."

The atmosphere was obviously not quite right, Dai Ruyan seemed to be very concerned about Gong Yu sending people to follow him.

Seeing this, Gong Yu felt even more uncomfortable in her heart and whispered: "In the past, Ayan always made people stare at me, why can't I make people follow Ayan?"

"It's different."

Dai Ruyan withdrew her hand, sat silently aside, and said with a serious expression, "I just want to take good care of Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu is just suspicious of me?"

"Is that what Ayan thinks of me?"

"Is not it?"

Gong Yu sat up and saw that Dai Ruyan obviously didn't notice that she was deceiving herself first.

The two refused to speak. Gong Yu sat cross-legged in the reclining chair in a loose robe, and said with a deep breath, "I don't want people to follow Ayan, I just want them to protect Ayan secretly."

"But Ayan sees what the Sixth Emperor's brother is planning?"

Dai Ruyan turned to look at Gong Yu, with a crisis hidden in the depths of her eyes, her lips pursed tightly and said, "Does Xiao Jiu think I have an affair with Gong Liang?"

Gong Yu whispered: "No, I just don't like Ayan and don't tell me anything."

"If one day I lied to Ayan and ended up meeting a certain man, wouldn't Ayan be angry?"

This question was not answered by Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan who was indifferent.

My heart was so cold that it felt like I had fallen into a hole in the ice.

The candle light swayed slightly, Gong Yu seemed to be unable to see Dai Ruyan's face, only to realize that her eyes were already moist.

Dai Ruyan sighed, and stretched out her hand to surround Gong Yu in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Xiao Jiu, please don't cry?"

"I didn't cry."

"Recently, I have been informed that the first emperor left another imperial edict after he wrote to Xiao Jiu, and this edict was obviously aimed at suppressing Xiao Jiu." Dai Ruyan stopped in Gong Yu'er. He spoke softly.

Gong Yu blinked and said with a slightly blocked nose, "Where is the edict from Brother Sixth Emperor?"

"Well, I guess so."

"Did Brother Sixth Emperor use this to threaten Ayan?" Gong Yu asked seriously, pulling a distance.

Dai Ruyan bent her fingertips and scratched the nose of Xia Gongyu in a low voice: "How can he threaten me now?"

"Then...why didn't Ayan tell me in advance?"

"It's not safe in the palace. It's better that the fewer people know about this, the better."

Gong Yu took Dai Ruyan's cool hand and said, "I thought Ayan ran away from home and never came back."

"Little fool." Dai Ruyan kissed Xia Gongyu's forehead and said, "Why would I be willing to leave you?"

"It's just that I don't like being followed. If Xiao Jiu didn't tell me, I'm afraid that the guards who followed would be dead at the moment."

"Has Ayan found out?"

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly and replied, "Yeah, I didn't believe it at first, but Xiao Jiu would actually send someone to follow me?"

Gong Yushen held Dai Ruyan's hand sideways and said, "Second Huangjie has always had bad intentions towards Ayan. I sent people mainly to protect Ayan, and I also want to know more about Ayan."

"Don't Xiao Jiu know me well enough now?"

"not enough."

Dai Ruyan followed Gong Yu and sat beside the bed, Gong Yu responded, "Because I didn't know that Ayan didn't like to be closer."

"I always thought Ayan was just shy or didn't understand."

"Is Xiaojiu unhappy because of this?"

"It's more resentment than unhappiness."

"Resent?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu, who was lying flat, with some puzzlement, and asked, "Is it dissatisfaction?"

Gong Yu shook her head and responded, "No."

"what is that?"

"It's like getting the piece of cake you want the most in your heart, but she is always in front of her all day long, and the resentment that you can see but can't eat."

Dai Ruyan rubbed Gong Yu's slightly frowning brows with her fingertips and smiled, "I'm not a piece of cake, what does Xiao Jiu say?"

"Ayan understands."

Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan and said softly, "I can feel that Ayan's head can understand my desire, but Ayan can't understand it in her heart."

"What did Xiaojiu mean?"

"Ayan has always been afraid of the secret I know, but I already know it."

Dai Ruyan's expression was sluggish for a moment, panic flashed in her quiet eyes, but she still seemed calm.

"I don't understand what Xiao Jiu said." Dai Ruyan whispered, avoiding Gong Yu's gaze.

Obviously, these words also avoided Gong Yu's words.

Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand lightly and said, "No matter what Ayan looks like, I will like Ayan. I didn't say this to make Ayan happy."

"I will practice word by word until Ayan is no longer afraid, no longer avoids, and is willing to be truly frank with me. I think Ayan should not be so scruples and close to me at that time. "

Dai Ruyan blinked lightly, but Gong Yu's hand was shaking, and Gong Yu guessed that Dai Ruyan was probably scared.

The more people try to protect themselves, the more vulnerable they are.

Because that's why people want to be invincible.

And Dai Ruyan obviously thinks the same way, so she doesn't care about anything for a long time, as long as she is strong enough, she is willing to do anything.

For Dai Ruyan, the **** storm in the court is just a game. She wants only those who despise her and hurt her to prove that Dai Ruyan is now strong enough to be invincible.

"I'm not afraid anymore." Dai Ruyan whispered while rubbing the ring in Gongyu's palm with her fingertips.

Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan's empty eyes and asked, "What if one day Ayan can't find me?"

Dai Ruyan frowned and looked back at Gong Yu, holding Gong Yu's hand between her fingers and saying, "I won't let Xiao Jiu leave me."

"Ayan, are you afraid?"

"It's worry."

"No, it's actually fear."

"yes?"

If you think about things rationally, sometimes there will be some deviations.

Gong Yu lay down and said, "It's late at night, go to sleep."

Dai Ruyan lay on the side slowly, stared at Gong Yu and asked, "My secret will scare Xiao Jiu."

"I'm not afraid."

"Maybe Xiaojiu will leave me if he knows all my secrets."

"I do not know."

Gong Yu responded patiently.

But she didn't wait for Dai Ruyan's response, her wrist was still tightly held in her palm.

Gong Yu leaned in and kissed the next generation Ruyan's forehead, rubbed her cheek affectionately and said, "The only thing I'm afraid of is that Ayan doesn't like me, and I'm not afraid of anyone else."

Dai Ruyan stretched her arms to imprison Gong Yu, and whispered, "But I'm afraid..."

"What is Ayan afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of myself."

Gong Yu asked in confusion, "Why?"

Dai Ruyan's heartbeat was fast, as if something terrifying had happened.

"Ayan?" Gong Yu quickly distanced herself, and Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu dully and murmured, "It's not me..."

"what?"

"It wasn't me...killed that cat."

Gong Yu called Dai Ruyan over and over again, and Dai Ruyan seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, suffering unbearably.

In the early morning, Dai Ruyan, who was lying beside her, fell asleep peacefully. Gong Yu was tired and guarded until the hand that was holding her sleeves loosened slightly, and Dai Ruyan slowly opened her eyes.

There was no panic and anxiety from last night in those eyes, and some were just as calm as in the past.

"Little Nine..."

"Um."

Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly as if she had forgotten last night and said, "Why don't you go to court?"

"I'm waiting for you to wake up."

Gong Yu couldn't tell whether to let Dai Ruyan be so calm forever, or let Dai Ruyan be as panicked as last night.

Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "My eyes are a little uncomfortable."

"I'll just rub it for you." Gong Yu's fingertips rested lightly beside Dai Ruyan's eyes.

The inside of the hall, which was illuminated by the light through the window, was bright, and on behalf of Ruyan, the corners of her mouth were bent, enjoying Gong Yu's care.

When Gong Yu's hand was lightly removed, Dai Ruyan opened her eyes and grabbed Gong Yu's hand and said, "Knead again."

"But I'm going to court."

Dai Ruyan still held Gong Yu's hand and did not let go, her eyes were clear and bright, she looked at Gong Yu, her thin lips slightly opened and said, "I don't want to be separated from Xiao Jiu."

"There is no separation, I just go to the main hall to go to the morning, and Ayan will be able to see me soon."

"Can I go to the morning with Xiaojiu?"

"I was very tired in the morning. I have to listen to the words of a group of old ministers. Ayan can sleep again."

"No." Dai Ruyan pestered Gong Yu and said, "I'm going to be with Xiao Jiu."

Gong Yu couldn't move and looked at Dai Ruyan, and gently brushed her fingertips across Dai Ruyan's cheeks and said in a low voice, "But when Ayan goes to court, there will be many people who say bad things."

"Whoever dares to speak ill of Xiaojiu, I will... let him be beaten." Dai Ruyan said this with a smile.

Although there was no killing intent, Gong Yu sat up helplessly, and Dai Ruyan leaned over like a child.

"Xiao Jiu doesn't want to be with me?"

"I would."

Gong Yu said helplessly: "I'll take Ayan to the court, but Ayan needs to be quiet, okay?"

"Okay, I listen to Xiao Jiu."

Dai Ruyan seemed to suddenly become a small child, as if the panic last night had made her lose all her composure.
