Accidentally Married Miss Empress
Chapter 24:
"I don't know if you know Mrs. Dai?" Gong Yu got up and asked.
Qin Hua paused slightly, then turned around and replied, "Of course I have heard about the demeanor of the young lady. Is there anything else your Highness has to do?"
Gong Yu approached Qin Hua's eyes and smiled and said, "It's nothing, sir, just go to work if you have something to do."
When Qin Hua turned to leave again, Gong Yu recalled the movement of Qin Hua's right hand subconsciously touching the thumb and finger, which was intriguing.
Rushing to the waterside, Dai Ruyan was sitting on the chessboard, as if he was fighting with himself, and he played very seriously.
A bamboo curtain was hung in the pavilion to keep out the wind. Gong Yu stepped forward and opened the bamboo curtain to enter the pavilion. Before she could make a sound, she heard Dai Ruyan turn sideways and say, "Just now, I was playing chess with that Mr. Qin again. ?"
"Well." After being discovered, Gong Yu no longer stood on tiptoe, and simply sat directly beside Dai Ruyan.
The chess game in front of him was inextricable, Gong Yu looked at it and said, "How do you decide the outcome when you play chess with yourself?"
"It is natural to see which side reveals the flaws, and then follow the victory to pursue the attack, and naturally there will be a winner and a loser."
Gong Yu also felt confused when he heard it. He reached out and touched the walnuts on the side and said, "I just don't understand this."
"By the way, does Ayan know Qin Hua?"
Dai Ruyan put down the chess piece in her hand and said, "I have met with His Highness a few times before, and I heard that he is a master with good strategy."
"His Royal Highness has been banned for a year, and he has also begun to enter the court in recent days. The last time the third and fourth highnesses are known to all over the city, and now there is only the main highness in the court hall, and the sixth highness and Xiaojiu."
Gong Yu sat cross-legged and his eyes fell on Dai Ruyan's apricot-colored clothes, which complemented her extremely white complexion, but most of Dai Ruyan's clothes were loose, making Dai Ruyan's white wrists even more slender.
It was probably because of the cool weather in the early morning in autumn, so Dai Ruyan put on a thicker robe, which is now set aside.
"Have you heard about Ayan? Qing Qing'er was found dead in the ancestral hall of the Qing family's old house this morning."
"Well, I heard that the method is very cruel." Dai Ruyan didn't hesitate, just picked up the scattered pieces on the chessboard as usual.
Gong Yu took out the half of the arrow from his sleeve pocket and put it in front of Dai Ruyan. "Mr. Qin guessed that it was the same person who injured Qingyun last time."
Dai Ruyan didn't look at the arrow but said, "This incident happened at the feet of the emperor, and it must be investigated by Dali Temple. Why does Xiao Jiu care so much about this?"
"Because I also saw this kind of pattern when the Fourth Emperor was assassinated. I think this matter may be related to the internal struggle of the royal family."
"Then Xiao Jiu, do you know which force this pattern represents?" Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at Gong Yu, her eyes as clear as a mirror and asked.
Gong Yu was entangled for a while, only to see Dai Ruyan reaching out and taking away the walnut in Gong Yu's hand, holding the walnut clip in his hand and turning it gently to open the walnut.
Dai Ruyan picked out the walnut meat and put it in the palm of Gong Yu's palm and said, "This matter cannot be urgent, and I have also had someone check the pattern, but this sect emerged out of thin air, and there is no other sign of existence, only the Only this pattern indicates that this sect has appeared."
"Nothing else can be found."
"I'm guessing that raising such a group of ruthless and ruthless warriors in martial arts must have something to do with the royal family." Gong Yu slowly ate the walnuts and said to himself.
"Maybe."
Dai Ruyan didn't seem to be interested. After finishing the chess game, he chose to open the walnuts. In the quietness of the pavilion, the sound of walnuts cracking on the ground was often heard.
Gong Yu's eyes never looked away from Dai Ruyan's body from beginning to end, but Dai Ruyan's reaction was too calm, even a little cold.
"Don't open it all, I can't finish it." Gong Yu said, and then took a sip of tea.
"You really don't want to eat?" Dai Ruyan stopped her hand, and said with a warm smile in her clear eyes, "I see that you have been holding walnuts all the time, but you never ask me to help you."
Outside the pavilion, the bamboo curtains were occasionally swayed by the wind, and the hanging blue gauze curtains swayed slightly.
In my head, I didn't think about why Qingshui'er died so painfully. Anyway, it's not like Dai Ruyan's good person should not do such a thing.
But who would torture the daughter of a death row prisoner like this, and let her die in the ancestral hall of the Qing family so painstakingly?
In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and the capital city was always shrouded in dense fog. Although the wounds on his left shoulder had scabbed over, Gong Yu's left hand was still a little stiff because he had not moved for too long.
In the splendid hall, as always, the ministers entered the hall, Gong Quan stood at the forefront, although the third and fourth highnesses also attended the political affairs, but they were much silent compared to the previous Zhang Yang, and the nearest sixth highness was no different from the past. Difference.
"Your Majesty, the establishment of a prince is the foundation of the country, and the crown prince should be canonized earlier." Taifu urged this every day as usual.
The prime minister, who was next to him, followed suit, and the royal father above said impatiently, "We will discuss this matter in the future."
After a set of Taijiquan was finished, the ministers finally began to discuss the taxation and other complicated affairs of various places at the end of the year.
I saw Chen Mingdao, the official of the Dali Temple: "Go back to Your Majesty, the recent investigation on the murder of the fugitive Qingshui'er seems to be the work of the same group of people as the assassination of the Fourth Highness."
"After investigation, it is a unique symbol of the Jianghu assassination sect. Initially, Qingshui'er should have been bought by an enemy to kill."
Suddenly, the hall was silent, and the third highness knelt down in a panic and said, "Father, Wang, and Erchen have been wronged. That kind of assassination sect has never heard of Erchen."
"This matter is handed over to Chen Ming, the minister of the Dali Temple. If it is true that the prince has colluded with the third-rate assassination sect to harm the blood of the royal family, it will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the palace." The emperor with a serious expression threw the memorial in his hand to the three. In front of His Highness, he said angrily.
"The minister leads the decree." The Dali Temple minister bowed and bowed.
This morning, the whole face of the Third Highness turned pale.
Gong Yu was walking back in the palace road, and by chance encountering His Highness Sixth, the two stopped.
"Xiao Jiu's left hand is better now?" His Highness the sixth asked worriedly.
"Many thanks to Brother Sixth Emperor for worrying, the injury is almost healed." The palace hall was very smooth, and the cold wind slapped on the face, but Gong Yu couldn't shrink her neck, so she could only stick to it.
The Sixth Highness moved closer and said, "The courtroom is very complicated now. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask Brother Sixth Emperor."
Gong Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Sixth Emperor, for your concern."
The two chatted for a few words and then left in the sedan chair. Gong Yu was holding the heater in her hand and didn't quite understand why the emperor was suddenly so strict in the courtroom.
After all, hasn't the matter of the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness already become a fact that everyone tacitly agrees to?
"Go to replace the girl." Gong Yu opened the curtain and said to the servant outside.
When the sedan chair stopped, Gong Yu stuck her head out and saw another sedan chair outside. After entering the mansion, Gong Yu asked the servant who was leading the way: "Is anyone else coming to this mansion?"
"Hui Ninth Highness, it is Your Highness."
Going around the promenade, Gong Yu caught a glimpse of the wrinkled lake water that was blown by the cold wind, only to feel a little colder, and quickly tightened his collar.
I saw Dai Ruyan sitting together with Gong Quan, the two seemed to be talking, and Gong Yu was hesitating whether to go in. I didn't want to, but I happened to meet Gong Quan's eyes, and Gong Yu could only face the difficulty.
Entering the pavilion, the maid prepared tea and retreated outside the pavilion. Gong Yu took the tea and drank it and said, "Is the eldest brother coming to take tea and cakes on behalf of sister?"
Gong Quan said with a smile: "Of course not, it's just something to discuss with the girls of the same generation."
Gong Yu ate the cake and glanced at a post placed in front of Dai Ruyan and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It's nothing, it's just..."
"It's the post you received before your Fourth Highness was assassinated." Gong Quan said first.
"Then this is the challenge book?" Gong Yu reached out and wanted to pick up the post, but didn't want to replace Ruyan but said: "It's a little uncomfortable here, you'd better not read it."
Not having succeeded, and Gong Quan was also here, Gong Yu had no choice but to give up and ask, "Are the three emperors wronged?"
"Brother Yi's reaction today is probably that he is really related to that assassination sect."
"Wouldn't that father be very angry?"
Gong Quan poured the tea and took a sip, frowned slightly and looked at the tea: "The tea here is as bitter as ever for the young lady."
Is it bitter?
In the past, Gong Yu also felt that the tea that Dai Ruyan drank was particularly bitter, but after that, it seemed that this feeling gradually disappeared.
Could it be that you get used to it?
Gong Yu picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. She couldn't help but feel confused, so she took another sip of tea, only to be sure that the tea seemed a little sweet.
Dai Ruyan on the side looked at Gong Yu's small gesture, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly: "Bitter tea is naturally bitter, after all, good medicine is bitter."
Gong Quan frowned and drank all the tea in the cup, then put down the tea cup and said: "The third brother is afraid that someone who has a heart will take advantage of it, and the father and the king hate brothers to kill each other, especially poisoning. Buying a murderer is the most taboo."
"This time, it has always been pointed out by Chen Ming, the minister of the Dali Temple, who has always been upright. It is tantamount to the fact that the evidence is conclusive. The father and the king are so angry."
While listening, Gong Yu picked up the tea in front of him and poured a cup. He took the tea and smelled it. The tea had a faint fragrance, and no bitterness could be detected after drinking it.
Gong Yu, who had studied so many times, came to the conclusion that the tea that Dai Ruyan gave herself was not the same tea that Gong Quan drank.
So this proves that there are still differences between people.
Just like drinking honey, Gong Yu held the teacup in front of him and drank cup after cup, probably this is the so-called tea is not intoxicating and self-intoxicating.
Until Gong Quan left, Gong Yu hiccupped, and Dai Ruyan on the side smiled and said, "If you really like this tea, I will have someone bring some to your house."
"Okay." Gong Yu replied with a smile.
"You, let's go inside." Dai Ruyan got up and straightened her clothes and said, "You're just injured, it's too cold outside."
Gong Yu put down the teacup in her hand and followed Dai Ruyan's side, looking at Dai Ruyan, who was dressed in milky white clothes, with her eyebrows bent. It was clearly not wine, but her whole body seemed to be drunk.
Dare to hold Dai Ruyan's hand lightly, but fortunately Dai Ruyan just held Gong Yu's hand back, Gong Yu took a deep breath and the heartbeat that was running smoothly, but she couldn't control the raised corner of her mouth.
Like an idiot, she couldn't stop thinking in her head, Dai Ruyan's hands are really soft and slippery!
