MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 10
"I heard that during the Mid-Yuan Festival, there are lanterns to send to family members. Why don't we do something these days?" Gong Yu said hesitantly.
Dai Ruyan held the tea and shook her head and replied, "I will go to Dai's ancestral hall with my grandmother tomorrow, and it is estimated that I will stay for at least a few days."
Gong Yu didn't know what to say. He touched the talisman bag and asked, "This talisman bag is hard to the touch, what's in it?"
"Peach branch." Dai Ruyan reached out and held Gong Yu's hand and said, "This peach branch is an ancient tree in the temple, which can ward off evil spirits and calm spirits."
"If it's true spirit, wouldn't the branches of the ancient temple be bare?" Gong Yu said jokingly.
Dai Ruyan looked helplessly, stretched out her hand and combed Gong Yu's drooping hair and said, "Why are you always so whimsical in your head."
"Since it is said to be an ancient tree, it is natural to take good care of it. How can you think that it is only bare as you said."
Gong Yu looked up at Dai Ruyan and smiled: "Since it is so precious, I will definitely keep it well."
When Dai Ruyan left at night, Gong Yu sent someone to inquire about Dai Ruyan's sister, and the housekeeper carefully reported:
"I heard that from the generation of the family to the generation of the girl, Mrs. Qing only replaces the girl's only daughter. I have never heard of a sister next to her."
Gong Yu was immediately confused, but Dai Ruyan's sad expression was still clearly in front of her eyes.
The summer heat was pressing, the emperor returned with all the soldiers, and the people in Miyagi who didn't know about it cheered enthusiastically.
The sacrificial ceremony was a particularly important event. The emperor was inconveniently injured, so the crown prince presided over the overall situation, and Haohao Tangtang's travel team set off from the capital palace.
As a prince, Gongyu had to abide by a series of requirements for sacrifice, bathing, burning incense, and clear soup without water for several days.
The last day is to pay homage to the ancestors and ancestors of the palace country, and Gongyu stands among the princes for a blessing ceremony.
On the way back, the emperor was furious when he heard that the empress was suddenly unwell and fell unconscious.
However, in a few days, the capital city was covered with dark clouds, and the empress's fetus was gone. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
The emperor also suffered a physical blow because of this, which was not as good as before.
Gong Yu's identity made it impossible for her to get too close to the harem, so she had no way of knowing how the Empress did not protect her fetus.
Just guessing that this fetus must be someone who can't hold back, but who will start with the unborn fetus.
Only the emperor who will affect the future is most likely one of the princes.
This kind of conjecture is not only common people, but also most of the officials and ministers, not to mention the suspicious emperor.
Within half a month, Tai Gongquan was abolished and was guarded by Dali Temple. The culprit was ineffective supervision of the country.
Of course this is just an excuse.
When he heard the news, Gong Yu was finishing his medicinal bath, dressed in a thin robe, lying barefoot in the water pavilion.
When Dai Ruyan approached, Gong Yu was lying on the cool couch and her head was a little dizzy. She turned her head and saw Dai Ruyan Jing in a gauze skirt standing beside her.
"Ayan, but I haven't been here for a long time." Gong Yu propped up and sat down.
Dai Ruyan sat on the side, stretched out his hand and flipped through the books that Gong Yu had set aside at will, and replied, "The prince has been abolished."
"Yeah, is there something bad going on in Ayan's head?" Gong Yu said with a smile, reaching out and picking up the folding fan on the side to fan the wind.
"You." Dai Ruyan ignored Gong Yu's ridicule, but Gu Zi flipped through the book and said softly, "This is a good opportunity."
Gong Yuwei listened and nodded in response: "It is indeed a good opportunity, after all, bitterness is always useful."
"You have an idea, why haven't you acted?"
Dai Ruyan asked inexplicably, put down the book and caught a glimpse of Gong Yu's open collar, revealing the fair skin inside, stretched out her hand and tugged at Gong Yu's slightly open collar and said helplessly: "Fortunately there is no one here, otherwise you If you don't seem to be restrained, wouldn't it make people look at it in vain."
"How could A-Yan let others look at him?" Gong Yu said while laying down lazily with raised eyebrows.
"Is the medicinal bath effective?"
"It's okay, it's just hot and sweaty, and it's very uncomfortable."
Dai Ruyan smiled and left her hand, and turned to put away her books. Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan sideways, remembering the look on Dai Ruyan's face when she mentioned her little sister last time.
Wanting to speak but holding back, Gong Yu propped herself up, took the sour plum soup and handed it to Dai Ruyan and said, "After drinking this sour plum soup, I will go."
"So fast?" Dai Ruyan was slightly taken aback.
Gong Yu also took a drink and responded, "The weather is just right."
After noon, Gong Yu entered the palace by car, looked at the scorching sun, and knelt silently outside the hall.
"Oh, what are you doing kneeling here, Ninth Highness?" Eunuch Li, who was beside the emperor, came out of the hall and said.
Gong Yuman said innocently: "Brother Huang is innocent, I beg Father Emperor to spare him."
Eunuch Li said helplessly: "The emperor is furious now, it's not that His Royal Highness Ninth Highness is playing around."
After repeated persuasion to no avail, Eunuch Li returned to the hall again.
Gong Yu's heart is actually not so confident. The reason why the emperor let Tai Gongquan abolish was because the unborn child in the queen's womb was angry with Tai Gongquan, or because this incident touched the authority of the emperor, Tai Gongquan. Quan is just a warning.
If it is just a warning, then Tai Gongquan should recover soon, so what Gong Yu has to do at this time is to properly behave what a child should do.
After all, he is old. If he can't take a bubble in front of the emperor, it is estimated that when there are more and more children in the future, Gong Yu can only be forgotten in a corner.
It's just that it's really hard work for this good boy to do things. At night, the night wind is slightly hot, and Gong Yu has never drank a sip of water.
I didn't want to hear the sound of crying suddenly, but Tai Gongquan's mother-in-law was kneeling beside her with red eyes, followed by a lot of palace maids.
When he was about to approach his son, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open. The emperor frowned and looked down at the crowd and scolded: "Nonsense! As a royal family, how can you cry and cry at will."
"I beg your father to spare your royal brother." Gong Yufu lowered his head and said in fear.
Suddenly the surroundings became quiet, and Gong Yu only felt that her heart was about to jump out.
"Xiao Jiu, do you know what your imperial brother did wrong?" the emperor said in a low voice.
Gong Yu bowed his head and replied, "Go back to the king, the royal brother does his best and treats his brothers equally, and he will certainly not commit a heinous crime."
"It's good to treat everyone equally!"
The emperor didn't say anything, just returned to the main hall.
Gong Yu knelt down. I don't know how long it took, the night wind became a lot cooler, the rainstorm fell quietly, and there was only the noise of rain all around.
At dawn, the heavy rain stopped, and Gong Yu supported herself on the ground with both hands to keep herself from dozing off.
The door of the main hall was opened, and Eunuch Li read the imperial decree: "Remembering that the palace spring of the Great Emperor is still young, so I will be banned from the Prince's Palace for a year to reflect on my past."
As if deliberately pausing for a while, Eunuch Li paused and recited: "Nine Emperors Palace Jade did not listen to the warning and pleaded privately. Although it was a brotherly love, the rules of the palace should not be ignored. Therefore, he was punished for copying the laws of the palace and state three hundred times. Afterwards, Taifu taught him the etiquette and criminal law, and abide by the palace rules."
Gong Yu kowtowed in response: "My son obeys the order."
When everyone retreated, Gong Yu couldn't stand up. Eunuch Li hurriedly approached and stretched out his hand to help Gong Yu get up, and said pitifully, "His Royal Highness is always weak, why don't you wait for the emperor to calm down and come back."
"Eunuch Li is worried." Gong Yu thanked him with a smile.
"Fortunately, the Empress came forward, otherwise His Highness Ninth Highness would have to suffer more."
When entering the sedan chair, Gong Yu did not dare to touch her legs, until she reached the mansion, before the curtain was lifted, she saw Dai Ruyan outside.
Gong Yu smiled and held Dai Ruyan's hand and said, "Actually, it's not too long, right?"
Dai Ruyan didn't say anything, but just stretched out her arms and hugged Gong Yu lightly, sighed slightly and responded, "I brought the doctor and let her show you."
After soaking in hot water and drinking **** soup, Gong Yu put on her outer clothes and held a soft pillow in her hands. She frowned slightly and said, "Fortunately, I tied a cotton belt around my knees, otherwise it would not be so comfortable."
"Do you understand the meaning of the emperor's imperial edict?"
"I didn't see the deep meaning, but when I looked at this palace law three hundred times, it gave me a severe headache." Gong Yu held the imperial decree and frowned.
Dai Ruyan's fingertips were stained with the ointment, and she lifted Gong Yu's trousers with one hand, revealing her slender and thin legs, only to see that the red and purple knees were particularly obvious.
"The only person who can be taught by the Grand Master is the candidate of the prince." Dai Ruyan said very lightly and seriously.
Gong Yu was slightly surprised and said, "Then... am I in danger now?"
Dai Ruyan raised her head slightly to look at Gong Yu, and saw Gong Yu's eyes as bright as a deer's eyes, with a pitiful appearance, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising and said: "The emperor will not point such an obvious arrow at you, Right now, the Grand Master is teaching the third highness, the fourth highness, the sixth highness, and you."
"What about Brother Five Emperors?" Gong Yu put down the imperial edict, stretched out his hand and took the lotus seed soup beside him and ate it.
"His Royal Highness has always been timid, and his mother's family is weak. He originally relied on Tai Gongquan, but now Gongquan is banned, and he temporarily resides in the mansion on the grounds of physical discomfort."
Dai Ruyan wrapped the gauze lightly around her knees and said hesitantly, "Does Xiao Jiu regret it?"
"The turmoil in the struggle for the regime, a little carelessness is irreversible."
Gong Yu shook her head and replied, "I'm not afraid."
"Who let me have a small handle in Ayan's hands?"
Dai Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then tightened Gong Yu's robe and said, "If you don't want to, I will definitely not force you."
"I'd like to." Gong Yu leaned closer and raised his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do all day, so I might as well fight, and I will be imprisoned in this capital for the rest of my life."
"and…"
"What?" Dai Ruyan asked in confusion.
Gong Yu put Dai Ruyan on her head with a smile on her side, and said a little tiredly, "Ayan looks so good-looking, it would be a pity if someone else married her."
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly, rubbed Gong Yu's forehead lightly with her fingertips and said in a low voice, "Now that the crown prince's position is lost, there will always be people who can't stand it and want to do it first."
"Ayan, do you know how the fetus in the Empress's womb disappeared?" Gong Yu asked curiously, grabbing Dai Ruyan's hand.
"You want to know?"
"Of course, there are so many people around the Empress, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't figure it out."
Dai Ruyan picked up the thin quilt on the side and put it lightly on Gong Yu, half hugged Gong Yu and whispered, "If it was the Dai family, would Xiao Jiu be afraid?"
For the first time, Gong Yu felt that it was unfathomable to look at Ruyan's calm eyes of the previous generation. It was a hot summer, but the back suddenly became cold.
