MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 22

Gong Yu, who was sitting alone in the water pavilion, carefully opened the envelope, and there was only a thin piece of letter paper in it.

[The letter has been received, everything is fine, I will return to the capital around the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't read it, and stay on your behalf. 】

Gong Yu looked at it repeatedly for half an hour, these dozens of words were so brief that Gong Yu couldn't think of the deep meaning.

The cicada's chirping seemed to be deliberately dragged on for a long time, and it kept screaming in her ears. Gong Yu lay on her side on the low couch, only to think that Dai Ruyan's letter probably meant nothing.

There was no mention of the peach blossom sachet in the letter. Gong Yu lay flat and held the letter with both hands, and let go of her hand in frustration. The letter fell on Gong Yu's cheek and slipped to the side.

"What does this mean!" Gong Yu closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to pick up the letter on the side, pressing it lightly in her arms and muttering.

After turning to the beginning of autumn, and counting the days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gong Yu began to feel inexplicably uneasy again.

The old housekeeper selects the appropriate clerk for the newly established store. Gong Yu has visited it twice, because the people who come in are all the people who come to watch the fun, far more than the people who buy it.

Therefore, Gong Yu changed the store into a similar exhibition and charged the entrance fee. Of course, you can buy it if you like it, and even hold an auction for the hot-selling items, which attracted the curiosity of many princes and nobles in the capital.

As for Qin Hua, Gong Yu sent someone to investigate his family background, but found that he was also a guest of His Royal Highness Gong Quan, but at that time Gong Quan was abolished, and at the end of the year, most of the guests also left, so Qin Hua also left.

August is when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and of course you can taste the hot sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Gong Yu asked the guards to send Qingyun out of the capital and **** her to the frontier to find out who Qingyun is.

The affairs of the house are being handled in an orderly manner, and when Gong Yu is busy, she is not so worried about Ruyan's return.

It was only unexpected that the red-eyed Qingyun was sent away. Gong Yu went to the pastry shop to taste the new cakes, but happened to bump into the woman in red.

Gong Yu, who turned to hide, heard the laughter coming to her ears and said, "Isn't this the little brother from that day?"

Gong Yu crossed the threshold and only replied: "I still have something to do, I'll go first."

"What's the hurry?" Despite the distance of several people, the woman in red was like a loach, sticking over in the blink of an eye.

"I still called my sister that day, why are you so unfamiliar in just a few months?" The woman in red was about to lean over as if she was soft and boneless.

Gong Yu remembered that she quickly grabbed Qin Hua who was on the side, and blocked the woman in red like a flood and beast, and said, "Mr. trouble, please help me block for a while."

Qin Hua looked at Gong Yu dumbly, and reluctantly responded: "Yes, Your Highness."

Quickly ran out of the pastry shop, Gong Yu was still holding the warm pastry in her hand, and ignored the surprised eyes around her.

After crossing the street, Gong Yu slowly stopped at the corner. The streets in this city are complicated and chaotic, and the woman in red should not be able to catch up.

"Hey, the richest man in the world has his home raided for colluding with corrupt officials."

"Who would have thought that Master Gu is a famous and kind person."

"Gu's family is rich enough to rival the country, so the money from the raid may not be able to be moved for ten days and ten nights."

Gong Yu walked towards the surrounding crowd and saw the portrait of a fugitive drawn on it. This guy looked a bit like the person who was in the restaurant with Dai Ruyan at that time.

Well, when he saw the words Gu Qing, Gong Yu was sure that this person was the handsome boy who was with Dai Ruyan.

Just when Gong Yu was watching seriously, something sharp suddenly pressed against her back, and a woman whispered in her ear: "If you want to survive, don't make a sound and follow me."

"Okay." Gong Yu probably knew that the dagger was on his back.

Gong Yu was accompanied by guards when he came out today, but just now when Gong Yu entered the pastry shop, he asked the guards to drink tea.

As a result, he happened to meet the woman in red again, and Gong Yu ran away alone. Could this person follow him all the way?

Forced to enter the unmanned alley, Gong Yu said calmly, "We can discuss it. If you want money, I can have someone bring it to you immediately."

The last time Gong Yu was attacked, she still had lingering fears, the woman shouted viciously: "Shut your stinky mouth!"

All right.

Gong Yu was taken to a ruined underground wine cellar with ropes tied to her body. Although the woman was covering her face, she looked at her figure and spoke, and she should be no more than the same age as her contemporaries.

It was a little dark outside, Gong Yu felt that Qin Hua and the housekeeper should have found out that they were missing, and there should be someone searching in the capital at this moment.

This wine cellar is too dark, only an oil lamp is lit, and the light is very dim.

I saw the woman wiping the dagger with a calm expression, looking like a killer who has been in this business for a long time.

Gong Yu cleared his throat and asked, "I've never seen you before, who sent you?"

The woman chuckled and said, "I didn't kill you last time. Did your little highness forget it so quickly?"

This chuckle and startled Gong Yu dazedly remembered the danger of being chased and killed, and asked with a heartbeat, "But I have no grievances with you, why do you do this?"

"No hatred?" The woman approached with the dagger in her hand, "Could it be that Your Highness forgot about the corruption case that started because of you?"

Corruption case?

"The corruption case of deducting my mansion's cost of silver taels?" Gong Yu said with relief: "But the corruption is confirmed by the Ministry of Punishment, and I am also an innocent person."

The woman stretched out her hand and ripped off the black cloth on her face, and there were several scars on her cheeks, she placed the dagger lightly on Gong Yu's neck and smiled, "My father, mother, and elder brother were all beheaded because of this unwarranted corruption. guilt."

"No need?" Gong Yu's neck was stiff and didn't dare to move, she vaguely sensed a tingling pain between her neck and responded, "You don't think it was me who brought the crime to your family, right?"

"Of course it's not you." The woman held the dagger in her hand and gently moved it to Gong Yu's cheek and said, "My father just obeyed his orders, but he took all the guilt when the incident happened, and all the reasons were just because Dai Ruyan's light fluttering sentence was guilty. "

"Why didn't she think about Dai Ruyan, my father is not a dog under her father's hands, why should I suffer such a painful experience?"

Gong Yu looked at the woman's vicious eyes, leaning back against the cold wall and suddenly thinking where she felt familiar.

I also saw these eyes on the cruise ship that day, but it was very lively at the time, Gong Yu was all about fruit wine and didn't care.

"She is really kind to you, and she has sent secret guards to protect you since you were injured." The woman smiled smugly, patted Xia Gongyu's face with a dagger, and said, "Everyone says Dai's The woman is graceful and graceful, and she has enjoyed the Fengyi of the Queen of the Palace for generations, but who knows that Dai Ruyan is actually a lunatic."

"What did you say... madman?"

"Mrs. Qingji has only one son and one daughter, why didn't Dai Ruyan leave the Dai family's house until she was twelve years old?"

The woman lowered her voice and said like a devil: "Because she is crazy, can you imagine Dai Ruyan, who was only twelve years old, killing two personal maids with her own hands?"

Gong Yu felt that the woman must be crazy, and murmured, "What the **** are you talking about?"

The woman lowered her brows, her eyes flashed fiercely, and pulled the dagger straight into Gong Yu's shoulder. The blood soaked Gong Yu's robe, and the pain was so painful that Gong Yu didn't even have time to shout.

"Why don't you believe it?" The woman pulled out the dagger, turned around and took out the medicine bottle and sprinkled the powder on Gong Yu's wound, smiling: "You can't die now."

"Dai Ruyan will go back to the capital tomorrow, and I want her to watch your blood fall on the capital city wall drop by drop."

Gong Yu endured the pain and smiled, looked at the sealed wine cellar, pressed the button of the chain on his wrist, and smoke slowly filled the inside.

The woman looked at Gong Yu unhappy and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Why don't you dare to look for Dai Ruyan in person, but keep assassinating me cowardly?" Gong Yu gasped, enduring the pain and said, "On the surface, you want to use me to torture Dai Ruyan, but in fact, I am with you. Dai Ruyan is not a relative, not a relationship, and at most it is gossip in the capital."

"So you dare not, because you are afraid of Dai Ruyan?"

The woman walked towards Gong Yu quickly, and she did not take the dagger that was on the side. She grabbed Gong Yu's neck with both hands, and her eyes were red and scary.

"You know what, in my dreams, I want to slash Dai Ruyan's face with one knife at a time. What a vicious person she is!"

Gong Yu, who was strangled by his throat, couldn't speak at all, and stared blankly at the woman with scars in front of her.

Suddenly, the woman looked into Gong Yu's eyes, and let go of her hands, panicked and pushed back with her hands, as if she had received some stimulus.

Then he stretched out his hand to cover his entire face, and cried in a low voice, "My face...my face was destroyed by her."

Gong Yu, who had only one breath left, fell to the ground panting, her hands bound by ropes, and the tears of Gong Yu, who was injured and fell to the ground, were about to fall out.

"Why did you kill my father..." The woman covered her face and cried, how strange and **** the picture looked.

Gong Yu struggled and leaned against the wall, but felt that the woman's force should not be low. If this smoke was ordinary people, it would have fallen long ago.

I saw that the woman seemed to sense something was wrong, looking at the misty cellar, Gong Yujing's back was already soaked wet, but fortunately the woman fell straight to the ground.

"Hello?" Gong Yu called tentatively.

Seeing that the woman really didn't respond, she got up and approached the dagger on the small table, her hands were tied and she almost lost consciousness.

After finally cutting the rope, Gong Yu hurriedly left the cellar holding the dagger. When he breathed politely, Gong Yu only felt that his eyes were black and white, and he almost fell.

The pain made Gong Yu come back to her senses, and she walked through the intertwined alleys. She was lucky to meet Qin Hua who was looking for someone with a guard. Gong Yu just said at ease: "Sir, there is still a prisoner in the cellar. ."

Before waiting for a response, Gong Yu also fainted.

When he woke up, it was only dimly lit outside the window. Gong Yu thought he had slept for a long time, but found that he had only slept in the middle of the night. The wound on his shoulder was a little deep, and the wound was bandaged by a maid sent by Dai Ruyan.

Gong Yu's entire left hand would not be able to move for several months. When asked about the woman, Qin Hua replied, "The man killed several guards and escaped with brutal means."

The poison in the bracelet is so strong. Gong Yu had already taken the antidote when she bought the bracelet, and she was still affected by the toxicity, and her head was a little dizzy.

The woman could still hurt people, which shows that her martial arts are indeed strong. Gong Yu thought that the scars on the woman's face were still a little scary, so she sent people to investigate the corruption case.

But what the woman said was still lingering in her ears. Gong Yu didn't know how true or false she was, but she had to admit that Dai Ruyan seemed to have countless secrets.

The sun was shining outside, Gong Yu was lying on the soft slump and felt a little cold, squinting slightly at the folded paper crane, and muttered: "Fortunately, this paper crane has been folded long ago, Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late to deliver."

The sun was very warm, but apart from the severe pain in the wound, Gong Yu still slept well, and when she woke up, it was already much dark outside, leaving only the sunset that had not been swallowed by the night.

But when she turned her head to see Dai Ruyan beside her, Gong Yu was stunned and didn't recover.

No lamps were placed in the water pavilion at this time, it looked a little dark, Dai Ruyan was wearing a Sulan skirt, and her black hair was hanging down her back. Although it was a little dark, Gong Yu could feel Dai Ruyan's sight on her body.

The gentle and eager eyes always make Gong Yu subconsciously ignore the confusion of why Dai Ruyan is so close to herself.

Although Dai Ruyan looks gentle and considerate, this is just appearance, because Gong Yu also clearly felt Dai Ruyan's indifference towards other people's life and death.

That is a kind of indifference towards life, not indifference after getting used to it.
