Chapter 13
But when she really woke up, Gong Yu had hot porridge in her mouth, and when she looked at Dai Ruyan in front of her, she didn't dare to blink her eyes.
But Dai Ruyan didn't say a word, and although his face looked normal, Gong Yu felt that Dai Ruyan should be angry.
Drinking the hot porridge honestly and dutifully, Gong Yu just wanted to be a good baby at the moment, saving Dai Ruyan from being really out of breath, how bad that would be.
Suddenly a voice came from outside the door and said softly, "Miss Dai, the doctor has passed out."
Gong Yu listened curiously and asked in a low voice: "Doctor? What's wrong with the old man?"
"Are you still in the mood to worry about others?"
"I... just asked." Gong Yu sipped the porridge with a guilty conscience, only feeling that Dai Ruyan looked like a tiger just now.
Seeing that Dai Ruyan still hadn't left with hot tea, Gong Yu boldly asked again, "Are the victims of the poisoning all right?"
"Ah."
"The destruction of the dam must have been due to corruption, who swallowed the money for the dam construction. Has the Taifu ever found out who was involved?"
"The Grand Tutor ordered the arrest of a group of corrupt officials, and they are scheduled to be executed in five days." Dai Ruyan rubbed the white porcelain teacup with his fingertips, and said in a soft voice, "What else do you want to ask?"
"No...not anymore." Gong Yu replied somewhat hesitantly like Yan Nuonuo.
Then I heard Dai Ruyan sighing next to my ear, and then I heard Dai Ruyan say: "You usually look timid and fearful, why do you act recklessly as soon as you let it out?"
The words seemed to be blaming, but also full of worry, Gong Yu approached obediently and said:
"Sister Dai is angry?"
"It's bad to be angry, but I'm lucky, and I can save myself from danger every time."
Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's earlobe, and said seriously: "That's poison, how could you drink it just because you believed a stranger?"
"At that time, if the antidote had not been developed quickly, no one in the city would have survived." Gong Yu said with some fear: "The doctor told me that the victims did not suffer from the plague, but were poisoned."
"Ayan, someone wants to silence her." Gong Yu's eyes showed panic, and her heart was beating violently.
His lips were suddenly covered by Dai Ruyan's palm, and Dai Ruyan blinked his eyes slightly, approaching Gong Yu and hugging Gong Yu in a comforting manner, and said: "Xiao Jiu, don't think too much, this is the end of the matter. "
"But the person who poisoned him hasn't been found yet."
"Let me handle this matter, Xiaojiu will take this matter to the bottom of my heart, as if I don't know anything, okay?" Dai Ruyan patted Gong Yu's brows slightly with a palm and said with a slight frown.
It was as if this matter had been erased invisible, and Gong Yu could no longer find any news about the person who poisoned him.
When the cold winter came, it snowed heavily outside before he knew it, and Gong Yu's body was mostly healed.
Eunuch Li brought the imperial decree and dozens of boxes of treasures, and Gong Yu held the imperial decree with the stove in his hands.
"His Highness Nine Congratulations, Your Majesty has rewarded countless gold and jewels, and even picked three mansions in the capital."
Gong Yu looked at the jewelry boxes piled up in the courtyard, and said unresponsively, "Eunuch Li, is this a mistake?"
I didn't give much credit to myself.
"His Royal Highness Nine is too modest. The Tai Tuo praised His Royal Highness Nine for trying medicine for the victims, and worked hard to solve the plague and save the victims from the fire and water."
After being praised by Eunuch Li for a series of praises, Gong Yu didn't recover for a while, but the old housekeeper at the side was busy rewarding the people brought by Eunuch Li with rewards.
Gong Yuwo sat in the courtyard, listening to the butler counting the list of jewelry and porcelain, and looking at the chessboard in front of him, it was so scattered that it was hard to tell the winner from the loser.
Those officials had been beheaded, and all the victims had been pacified, as if everything had been covered up with the heavy snow.
In the early court, Gong Yu still stood at the end of the princes, and the third highness and the fourth highness gradually formed new party forces in the ruling and opposition parties.
On New Year's Eve, there was heavy snowfall, and the palace banquet was much simpler than in previous years. The queen was seriously ill and did not attend.
Gong Yu secretly drank a sip of wine, her cheeks immediately seemed to burn and became very hot, so she said she was drunk and left the table early, walking slowly along the palace road, the maid slowly stood aside holding the palace lantern.
When I passed by the Royal Garden, the flowers inside were withered, and the scene of blooming flowers in spring was completely gone.
Feeling like a dream in a trance, Gong Yu dismissed the maids and stepped into this uninhabited land alone.
The vermilion palace wall looked dark and snow-covered under the night, and the sound of stepping on it was very soft and crisp.
Gong Yu tightened her collar, and she faintly heard someone talking, so she stopped, and when she was hesitating whether to avoid it, she heard Dai Ruyan's voice.
"Do you really want to do this?"
"The persimmons have to be picky and soft. My good sister, don't forget that as a child of the Dai clan, you should bear the shackles of the Dai clan for generations."
"so what?"
"You...you can't choose that sick child. Father has already chosen someone in his heart."
"What if I don't obey?"
The man standing next to Dai Ruyan, wearing a bright red official robe looks somewhat similar to Dai Ruyan, this man is Dai Ruyan's older brother Dai Lang.
Dai Lang in the court didn't show off too much, and was even more disciplined than his father.
Hearing the sick man, Gong Yu subconsciously touched her nose, thinking that she should look healthy now, why is she still given the reputation of being sick.
This imperial garden is too quiet, except for the cold wind, there is no other sound.
The conversation between the two was not pleasant, and Dai Lang waved his sleeves and only left a sentence: "If the father knows, it will be a problem whether the sick man will live or not."
Dai Ruyan stopped in the imperial garden, and suddenly looked towards the direction where Gong Yu was hiding, alert as if she had already discovered something.
Gong Yu was so frightened that she broke out in sweat.
"Xiao Jiu?" Dai Ruyan called out slightly hesitantly, "You... come out?"
Sneaking is probably not possible right now, so Gong Yu could only poke her head out, brushed the snow off her shoulders and said, "I'll come out right away."
When he approached, Dai Ruyan's expression relaxed, he looked at Gong Yu quietly and said, "Eavesdropping?"
"I just passed by accidentally, and I overheard it." Gong Yu seemed to feel like a playful child being caught by a parent, and she approached slowly with her hands on the stove and asked, "Are you with me?" Brother had a fight?"
"Is this like a quarrel?"
"Well, I saw your brother's face turned red." Gong Yu stretched out his hand to carefully pick the snowflakes that fell on Dai Ruyan's clothes and said seriously.
Before Gong Yu retracted his hand, Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand to hold Gong Yu's warm hand, as if avoiding the topic and said, "I'm just arguing with him."
"Did you sneak out of the banquet?"
Gong Yu looked at the hand tightly held by Dai Ruyan in surprise, it was really cold.
Then she held Dai Ruyan's hand, looked sideways at the dead branch that was blown by the wind, and followed Dai Ruyan's divergent topic: "It's like this every year at the banquet, it's a bit too much." It's boring."
Dai Ruyan didn't want to think about it seriously, and then replied: "It's really a bit too boring."
"It's just that you can't say this in front of outsiders." Dai Ruyan became mischievous in a rare way.
Gong Yu didn't expect Dai Ruyan to be so joking, so she bent her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I heard that a few days ago, many rich and noble sons in the capital asked Ayan for marriage."
"Xiao Jiu seems quite happy." Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's palm lightly with his fingertips, making it impossible to tell what kind of mood he was in.
"Think about Ayan's seventeenth year after this New Year's Eve, it's time to be anxious." Gong Yu responded by holding Dai Ruyan's nonsense hand.
Dai Ruyan walked with deep eyes, and said with thin lips: "My marriage shows which Highness the entire generation family favors. Presumably, my father also has a finalized candidate in his heart."
"Then I also come to ask for marriage?" Gong Yu said while looking sideways at Dai Ruyan's slightly frowning brows.
"Begging for a kiss?"
"You should be having fun, and the marriage of the children of the royal family is also not in your hands, but depends on your Majesty." Dai Ruyan responded rather helplessly.
Gong Yu raised her foot and stepped on the soft snow in front of her. Although the night was much darker, she could still vaguely feel the presence of snow.
"My mother and concubine are not alive, if I don't mention the marriage, even my father may not be able to take care of it." Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan, and said seriously: "Ayan, don't worry, we You said you were going to leave the capital together, right?"
Dai Ruyan was slightly taken aback, looked away and sighed: "It's not so easy to leave this capital city."
"That's not necessarily true." Gong Yu's eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth raised mischievously, "With Ayan's beauty and my wisdom, I will definitely be able to turn danger into luck and be invincible."
"Nonsense." Dai Ruyan reached out and tapped Gongyu's forehead, but his eyes were also stained with a smile, as if this cold snowy night was no longer so uncomfortable.
Suddenly there was a sound of firecrackers, and the fireworks that fell in the night sky bloomed in an instant, and the cheers sounded one after another, as if at this moment, no matter whether it was a prince, general or ordinary people, they were only attracted by the fireworks.
The colorful fireworks also illuminate the silent imperial garden, and the snow is so vast that it has a special taste.
Gong Yu quietly turned her head to look at Dai Ruyan at the side, she only felt that Dai Ruyan's eyes were sometimes like fire, sometimes like ice, unpredictable, but she couldn't help but want to get closer, and she called out slightly: "A Yan ..."
"Huh?" Dai Ruyan turned her head naturally, the gorgeous fireworks shone on this young face, and those penetrating eyes also jumped into Gong Yu's eyes.
There is a beautiful woman in the world, who can make the city fall with one smile, and the country fall with another smile.
I have always known that Dai Ruyan is good-looking, but good-looking does not mean that I will not get tired of looking at it. Only Dai Ruyan seems to be different every day, but I can't get enough of it.
Ru Mo's drooping hair sets off Dai Ruyan's skin as clear as jade, and the delicate lips are in front of her eyes. Gong Yu stared blankly, feeling like a big bad wolf, staring at Dai Ruyan's lips eagerly .
Gong Yu calmed down for a while, thinking in her heart that she was not a womanizer, and then said slowly: "I wish Ayan a happy new year and everything goes well."
"I'm the first person to congratulate A Yan on the New Year, if I don't give me a lucky bag, I won't give up." Gong Yu said with a smile.
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu's eyebrows and said with a smile: "You look cute, but you are actually very naughty."
Obviously this smile is more eye-catching than the fireworks, Gong Yu shook the gods and felt that the cold wind probably blows too much tonight, and I always feel that Dai Ruyan tonight is really exciting.
