MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 20
There was a commotion in the ear and there was silence. At first, Gong Yu could not feel the pain, but when the consciousness slowly recovered, the pain came one after another like a wave.
As if the heart beats, it will hurt, and even if you breathe, it will throb in pain, which is really torturous.
But Gong Yu found that he couldn't open his eyes, and even occasionally heard someone talking, but he couldn't open his eyes and couldn't answer a word.
"Hey, isn't this sick seedling about to die?"
"Shh! You can be quiet."
"If the girl from the Dai family heard it, maybe you would die even worse than the last time."
The footsteps were getting farther and farther, and Gong Yu wanted to start the group suddenly, but after a while, she suddenly lost consciousness.
In this way, she fell asleep and "woke up" intermittently. When Gong Yu finally saw the first rays of sunlight, the eager sun outside the window reminded Gong Yu that she was still alive.
When the maid came in from the outside, Gong Yu looked sideways, and just as she was thinking of opening her mouth to say something, the maid threw the water basin and ran out.
Yes, Gong Yu didn't have time to say a word.
Then the doctor with the medicine box came in. Of course, Dai Ruyan was at the side. Gong Yu blinked and didn't speak, but just smiled at Dai Ruyan.
"When you wake up, there should be nothing serious, just take good care of yourself."
After a while, the doctor, servants, servants, and the others were all gone, except Dai Ruyan, who was wearing a goose-yellow dress, with a serious expression as if she was the one lying on the hospital bed.
Gong Yu only felt that her throat was a little dry, and because of the arrow in the back, she could only lie on her stomach.
"Ayan, why don't you speak anymore?" Gong Yu only knew how dry her voice was when she said it out loud.
Dai Ruyan didn't answer, she poured tea, holding a spoon in her right hand, feeding it to Gong Yu little by little.
When Gong Yu couldn't drink any more, Dai Ruyan stopped, and her slightly cold fingertips rubbed Gong Yu's cheeks, only to release it after a while.
This sudden intimate touch made Gong Yu's heart skip a beat when she heard Dai Ruyan ask in a low voice, "Does the wound still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt much anymore." Gong Yu replied with a smile.
"That's right, the murderer... No, did the assassin catch it?"
"The testimony of the arrested Yu Dang points to the Fourth Highness who is recovering from illness."
"Then the assassination of the fourth emperor last time, wouldn't it happen to be the third emperor's brother, right?"
Dai Ruyan looked away and said, "Xiao Jiu also thinks this is strange?"
Gong Yu wanted to shake his head, but he couldn't move right now, so he had to give up and answer honestly: "This is too coincidental, and are the third and fourth brothers so stupid?"
"At the same time sending someone to assassinate the other party, and at the same time leaving a handle, the father must be very angry right now."
The light from outside the window fell on the dark wooden board, and Dai Ruyan was very quiet, along with the dark eyes.
Gong Yu stopped and eased the pain of the wound caused by what she just said. Dai Ruyan raised her hand and lightly rubbed Xia Gongyu's eyebrows and said, "Does the wound hurt?"
"Well, a little bit."
"Then be quiet. Talking will tug at the wound." Dai Ruyan tugged at the quilt and added hesitantly, "If I'm really bored, I'll go to sleep."
"How long have I slept?" Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan next to her and couldn't help but want to say something.
"Three days."
"I thought I slept for months."
"Xiao Jiu." Dai Ruyan called in a low voice.
Gong Yu had to close his eyes and replied obediently: "Okay, I really don't talk anymore."
The room suddenly became quiet, and the cicadas outside the house were so loud that Gong Yu could feel Dai Ruyan's eyes on this side.
He had slept for a long time, but he felt sleepy again without realizing it, and his consciousness gradually faded away, only to hear Dai Ruyan say in a low voice, "If you don't steal on that ship, maybe you won't be hurt. ."
Gong Yu wanted to answer, but his head was too heavy, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
The process of recuperating is painful, but also joyful. For two months, Gong Yu didn't have to get up early to sit in on political affairs. Dai Ruyan would visit Gong Yu whenever he was free.
It's just that in the midsummer season, the weather is very hot, and Dai Ruyan's tight palace jade can't even drink half a block of ice water, which is really torturous.
It was difficult for Gong Yu to get up and move around, so Dai Ruyan was relieved that she did not restrict Gong Yu's diet.
Gong Yu in the waterside looked at a pile of silver notes with a serious face. The cause of the incident was because Gong Yu felt that the silver taels stored in the mansion recently were a bit too much. Business is also a good plan.
After all, if you really wander around with Dai Ruyan in the future, it won't work if you don't have money by your side.
The shade of greenery next to the waterside pavilion is the best place for shade. Gong Yu asked the housekeeper to recruit some people to take care of the newly opened shop.
Rice and salt are held in the hands of officials, which is not something that ordinary merchants can touch.
Tea, satin, and porcelain are all managed by some big families. Gong Yu felt that she did not have the intelligence yet, so she thought that the current situation was relatively stable, and it should still be possible to do import business.
As for the matter of soldiers and horses, according to the laws of the palace and the kingdom, the children of the royal family without authorization to gather up to 300 troops are regarded as intentional treason.
Therefore, His Royal Highnesses generally do not dare to station troops, but recruiting sages is no problem. Everyone has come here clearly.
After entangled in the palace jade bar for most of the day to solicit big and small requests, he asked the old housekeeper to discuss the matter.
"His Royal Highness is really big." The old butler looked at Gong Yu and sighed with relief.
Gong Yu said with a guilty conscience: "I'm just imagining it, and I have to rely on the housekeeper to take care of it."
The old housekeeper replied with a smile: "Dai girl's mother family has been in business for generations. I heard that Dai girl also manages a lot of Dai's business. Your Highness, may I ask Dai girl for some advice?"
"It's better not to let her know about this. It's been enough trouble for her in the past few months, and I'm also idle right now. These things are considered as experience." Gong Yu held the brush in her hand, thought for a while and asked again. : "As for recruiting talents, it's best not to publicize it too much."
"Yes."
Sitting alone in the waterside pavilion, Gong Yu wrote poems silently.
I think Gong Yu was also a freshman majoring in Chinese language at the time, but he landed here after only one year.
The verses and old sayings that I memorized have been forgotten long ago, and I was killing time on my own.
The sound of water in the pavilion was gurgling, Gong Yu had been lying down for nearly three months, and the back injury had already scabbed over, and the thoughts in her head drifted to Dai Ruyan.
The deaf-mute maid whose eyes fell on the side at that time, Gong Yu was curious about Dai Ruyan's ability to probe the mansion anytime, anywhere.
I had also imagined that there might be Dai's connections in this mansion, but how did Gong Yu, the original owner, hide from the people in this mansion?
What's more, Gong Yu's mother was able to disguise the princess as a prince. How could a powerless and powerless concubine be able to cross the sea without anyone helping her?
It is a pity that Gong Yu's mother has been dead for many years, otherwise Gong Yu would not have started from scratch alone.
Thinking about it, she naturally let out a sigh, and when she heard footsteps approaching, Gong Yu looked sideways and was almost startled.
I saw Qingyun staring at this place with red eyes, and the whole person was motionless.
"Qingyun?" Gong Yu said with a headache, "Why did you come here again?"
"Brother, do you want Qingyun?"
"No...no." Gong Yu responded guiltily.
Qingyun loosened her frown because of Gong Yu's words, revealing a happy smile.
Gong Yu looked helplessly at the maid who came hurriedly behind, thinking that Qingyun's physical child is really not an ordinary little girl, no one can catch up with her if she wants to run away from this big mansion.
After Qingyun had eaten enough cakes, she casually fell asleep beside the low couch, and Gong Yu raised the thin blanket beside her to cover her.
Gong Yu went out of the waterside alone, but the cicadas in midsummer seemed to be hiding in any corner of the mansion.
Out of the corridor, the sun was getting dark, Gong Yu was walking barefoot on the gravel road, although there was some pain, but the doctor said that it was good for the body, so Gong Yu had to do it.
The scarlet sunset shone light on every corner of the entire mansion. Gong Yu was lying on the stone alone, and he could vaguely feel the sweat dripping from his cheeks.
It seems that until now Gong Yu has a real feeling that he is alive in this strange world.
This world, which requires brutal fighting and fighting to survive, is not what Gong Yu first imagined, perhaps it is just a complicated and weird dream.
Gong Yu has been reminding herself this way all the time, just living in Gong Yu's role temporarily, maybe she will wake up one day.
So Gong Yu is not in a hurry at all, and even optimistically accepts everything this world brings, including the last poison test.
In fact, I think Gong Yu thought for a moment that if he really died because of the poison test, he might be able to leave this illusory world and return to the real world.
But I will suddenly think of Dai Ruyan's words that I can't protect you when I leave the capital.
This sentence seems to be branded in Gong Yu's heart, no matter how Gong Yu moves, it will always exist.
Gong Yu raised her arm to block the dazzling light, unable to tell whether what she was thinking was saying goodbye to Gong Yu, who had been with him for 21 years, or choosing to finally accept the reality of this world.
Shi Zi was hot from the sun, and through the thin clothes, Gong Yu felt like she was grilling in the open air.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded, and Gong Yu turned his head and saw Dai Ruyan looking towards this direction with worry.
Until Dai Ruyan approached with a slight panting from the skirt, her eyes kept falling on Gong Yu, looking at it with worry, then she slowly bent over and asked hesitantly, "Xiao Jiu, why are you uncomfortable?"
Gong Yu blinked and propped herself up and replied, "I'm not uncomfortable, I just want to lie down for a while."
She was probably walking too fast, Dai Ruyan's cheeks were slightly red, and the hair around her ears was also a little messy.
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu uncertainly, seemed to ease her breath and said, "You..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Gong Yu approached and comforted.
"You fell so suddenly in this no one's place, it's really..." Dai Ruyan pursed her lips and said nothing.
No matter how dazzling and dazzling the sunset is, it is not as charming as Dai Ruyan's expression. For the first time in her life, Gong Yu suspected that she might like girls.
Because at this moment Gong Yu felt that her heart was beating too fast, as if it was melting in the setting sun.
