The flowers in the forest have fallen in spring red, it’s too hasty...
In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived...
The maple leaves outside Zheng Palace are falling, dancing an autumn song in the autumn wind...
Gong Yaozheng was sitting on the crystal swing in the center of the courtyard outside the pharmacy, eating roasted chestnuts and counting the days on his fingers: "The guy from Gong Er only stayed for half a month when he came back last time, and he left in a hurry. He didn't know before the Lantern Festival. Can you come back?"
"Something went wrong over at Jindu. The cloth shop at the palace gate was poisoned. I rushed over this time. I don't know if there will be danger." Gong Yuanzheng finished pouring Izuyun Chonglian and stood up, with a tone of voice. Worry.
Time in the palace always seems to pass by in a hurry. The last time Gong Shangjiao came back from Jiangnan, he brought back a fine silver fox fur blanket for Gong Yaozheng and his sister. Now Gong Yaozheng is padding it on the crystal swing. superior.
He also specially brought back a medicine bag that was said to be able to preserve medicinal materials for a long time and gave it to Gong Yuanzheng as an eighteenth birthday gift. The medicine bag was in the shape of a conch with complicated and delicate patterns, which Gong Yuanzheng had envied for a long time.
Now this medicine bag is carried by Gong Yuanzheng every day and never leaves his body wherever he goes.
"There is no danger, but those who wore clothes that caused skin ulcers may cause trouble. Gong Er will have a headache, and Gong Men may have heavy bleeding this time." Gong Yuanzheng ate roasted chestnuts with sugar, seemingly Said nonchalantly. She received a letter from Gong Shangjiao the day before yesterday, and the situation in the letter was very bad.
The poison was poured into the pool where the cloth was dyed. It was colorless and odorless, and the servants could not detect it. First, there was a problem with the people in the cloth village, and then the cloth buyers came to make trouble.
The Gongmen Cloth Shop is also one of the best in the entire Jindu. As soon as this incident came out, those sects who had submitted to Wufeng found an opportunity, and the matter was not a big deal.
Gong Yuanzheng walked to the courtyard, put his slender fingers on the swing, and pushed it gently. The girl on the swing was wearing a plain and elegant dress, and the skirt was stained with morning dew.
The bells on the head jingled as the swing swayed, crisp and sweet.
"Sister, I want to help my brother!" Gong Yuanzheng finally spoke out his thoughts.
Gong Yuanzheng grabbed Gong Yuanzheng's hand pushing the swing and signaled him to stop. He raised his head and looked at Gong Yuanzheng's lowered eyes. The amber eyes reflected the white figure: "You can go if you want, let's go find the blade right now!" "
Gong Yaozheng got off the swing. This was a tricky matter. Although she gave him a way to deal with it, it was not easy to do. Even if the expedition was not mentioned, she still had to find a way to go to Jindu.
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes brightened slightly, but he immediately reacted: "Sister wants to go too? No!"
He pushed Gong Yaozheng back onto the swing: "It's dangerous outside the palace gate, and my sister doesn't know martial arts, so I can go alone!"
Gong Yuanzheng took Gong Yuanzheng's hand away from his shoulder and said with a smile: "Why, are you looking down on me? Or are you saying that brother Yuanzheng is afraid that he can't protect me?"
"No, I just...sister can't leave the palace anyway." Gong Yuanzheng folded his arms, frowning slightly, with a firm look on his face.
Gong Yaozheng said with a smile: "Let's go and accompany my sister to find the blade to have a cup of tea. Is that okay?"
After saying that, he pulled Gong Yuanzheng out of the door...
Gong Yuanzheng was helpless, but he still followed Gong Yuanzheng. After leaving the Zheng Palace, he stopped and said, "I'll do it!"
With that said, he picked up Gong Yaozheng, used Qinggong and headed towards Yu Palace.
Yu Palace and Zheng Palace are far apart, almost across the entire palace gate. As long as Gong Yaozheng has two legs, when the time comes, he may not even be able to catch up with Yu Palace's lunch.
Gong Yaozheng experienced another wave of expedition speed. I have to say that Qinggong is really useful. It's a pity that he doesn't want to suffer that.
It was hard enough in the previous life, so let’s just lie down in this life!
Everyone in the palace knows Qing Kung, and there is no shortage of her!
In the Feather Palace…
Gong Hongyu was scolding Gong Ziyu, and Gong Ziyu was kneeling in the center of the main hall, listening to his father's teachings!
"You went to Wanhua Tower again yesterday? What happened to the palace gate? I can't keep you here!"
"Father, I just..." Gong Ziyu's eyes were red. Yesterday was his mother's death anniversary. He just missed his mother!
"Yesterday was the anniversary of your mother's death. You were hungover in Wanhua Tower. Are you sorry for your mother?" Gong Hongyu trembled with anger. Mrs. Kirihime tried to comfort her, but her eyes gradually became moist.
"Ziyu, admit your mistake to your father." The voice was gentle. Who would have thought that she was once a Wufeng assassin?
"I'm sorry!" Gong Ziyu lowered his head, tears falling. He thought his father had forgotten! Forgot my mother’s death anniversary!
"Is it useful to say you're sorry to me? It's your mother you're sorry for. You should kneel down in front of your mother's grave and talk about what you've done over the years!"
"Forget it if you are uneducated and have no skills. This palace doesn't expect you to do anything. You should be more at ease and don't cause trouble to the palace! Wu Feng is rampant now. You sneaked to Wanhua Tower alone. If you are caught one day Wu Feng killed...haven't you remembered what happened last time?" Gong Hongyu gritted his teeth as he hated the iron.
Gong Ziyu said nothing. He didn't know what happened last time. He only knew that Shangyuanjie Zhenggong captured a Wufeng assassin. His father had been praising the Zhenggong siblings in front of him for their excellence and asking him to learn more from them. .
Want to learn from someone who calls himself a bastard? Gong Ziyu may be a dandy, but he is not cheap!
I have to say that Gong Ziyu is very good-looking, with dark eyes that are as bright as stars. Now his eyes are lowered, with tiny lights flowing in them, and he is filled with sadness that cannot be let go.
Just when Gong Hongyu was about to say something else, Gong Yaozheng interrupted everything: "It's an unfortunate time for us to come. It seems that Zhibian has family matters to deal with."
Gong Hongyu's scolding words were stuck in his throat, and he looked at the two white figures outside the door.
Gong Yaozheng is wearing a white dress, and the hem of the dress is made of flowing brocade, which reflects fine streams of light under the autumn sunshine. Gong Yuanzheng was dressed in white uniforms, with a navy blue belt outlined with silver thread, and his waist was covered with waist accessories.
The two of them stood against the light, and even Gong Ziyu couldn't help but turn his head, then stood up and left without saying a word...
Gong Hongyu did not stop him, and only asked Mrs. Wu Ji to go out and take a look. Mrs. Wu Ji bowed and then left...
Gong Hongyu then asked Gong Yaozheng: "Ayao came to Yu Palace, but what's the matter?"
As he spoke, he led the two of them to the tea table aside.
The three of them sat down, and Gong Yaozheng finally spoke: "The day before yesterday, I received a letter from Gong Er...the second brother. The situation in Jindu is not good!"
Gong Hongyu frowned. Gong Shangjiao's letter to him reported good news but not bad news. When he heard Gong Yaozheng's words, his hand movements paused slightly.
"What did you say in the letter?" Gong Hongyu handed Gong Yaozheng a cup of tea, and Gong Yaozheng took it with both hands.
"In the rivers and lakes, the population is chaotic and people's hearts are unpredictable. This matter is also very involved. Buzhuang has now been closed for rectification. We must find the culprit of this poisoning and give everyone an explanation!"
"Second brother initially suspected that Wu Feng's people had sneaked into Buzhuang to poison, but the Buzhuang at the palace gate was tightly guarded. It would be a fantasy for Wu Feng's people to poison all the pools."
"Then there is only one possibility, and that is that Wu Feng has been lurking in Buzhuang for a long time, five or ten years. It is very likely that he is anyone well-known in Buzhuang, for the purpose of selecting people in the palace. Before the wedding, they caused endless trouble to the palace. They have already started to take action!" Gong Yuanzheng's words were reasonable and well-founded. Gong Yuanzheng listened and felt a little shocked in his heart.
Gong Hongyu was also shocked. They had stayed in Jiuchen Valley for too long, and the affairs outside the palace gate had been handled by Gong Shangjiao alone for these years. The palace gate acts cautiously, but there are many industrial strongholds outside the palace gate. Since Wufeng began to train brides twenty years ago to prepare to sneak into the palace gate, the Wufeng assassins mixed in from various strongholds and industries are likely to be from more than a dozen It started years ago.
"You tell Shang Jiao that if it is difficult to handle, then abandon Jindu and evacuate the stronghold in Jindu. Your own safety should be the first priority. The blood of Gongmen cannot be lost. He himself is the most important." Gong Hong Faced with this kind of thing, Yu adopts a relatively conservative approach to evacuate. Gongmen doesn't want to compete with Wu Feng!
What he can do is to protect the palace gate from harm, that's all!
Gong Yaozheng knew that Gong Hongyu would definitely say this, but whether it was Jindu or other places, those strongholds were all Gong Shangjiao's hard work. After so many years of hard work, they could not be abandoned just by withdrawing.
"Zhi Ren, I came here today to get Zhi Ren to agree that Yuan Zheng and I will go to Jindu to assist the second brother." Gong Yaozheng didn't accept Gong Hongyu's words. She wouldn't write this letter, and Jindu wouldn't abandon it either!
"Nonsense, I don't agree. I'm going to send an order for Shang Jiao to come back and you don't want to go either." Gong Hongyu was okay after hearing this. He knew that Gong Yuanzheng didn't agree with his actions, but for the safety of the palace gate, he It had to be done.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and a guard came quickly: "Report! News came from Jindu. Master Jiao was attacked and seriously injured. He is missing at the moment!"
Gong Yuanzheng's pupils trembled slightly: "Brother!"
Gong Hongyu was also shocked by this turn of events: "What exactly is going on? Tell me quickly!"
The guard handed the secret message in his hand to Gong Hongyu: "Please take a look at it while holding the blade."
Gong Hongyu opened the lid, took out the secret letter, and looked at the words in the secret letter, his hands trembling a little.
At this moment, Gong Yuanzheng wished he could rush straight to Jindu. Gong Yuanzheng held him down and patted the back of his hand to tell him to calm down.
Gong Hongyu put down the letter in his hand, his eyes filled with anger: "Wufeng has gone too far to bully others. For the expedition, you immediately take people to Jindu and bring the green jade attendant. No, I will ask the elders to give you the yellow jade attendant. Go and prepare !”
Gong Yaozheng heard this: "What about me?"
"Ayao, it's not that I won't let you go. You are a woman. Besides, you don't know martial arts. If you go, Yuanzheng will have to distract you to protect you!" Gong Hongyu's tone softened slightly. Facing Gong Yaozheng, he said She couldn't say harsh words, the entire palace owed her this, even though she didn't know it herself!
"But, I don't worry about going on an expedition alone!" Gong Yaozheng lowered his eyes, pitifully, and spoke in a low voice.
Gong Hongyu: "..."
Gong Yuanzheng also disagreed with Gong Yuanzheng going out, and quickly said: "Sister, it's okay, I can do it myself..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gong Yuanzheng's eyes. The suppression from his blood caused Gong Yuanzheng to swallow back the rest of his words.
"You can't do it yourself. Besides, Jin Fu is more obedient to me! So, I have to go!" Although Gong Yaozheng was smiling, his tone was gentle and innocent. But Gong Yuanzheng saw the threat in his sister's eyes.
"Blade-holding, I think my sister is right!" Gong Yuanzheng changed his words.
Gong Hongyu originally hoped that Gong Yuanzheng would dispel Gong Yuanzheng's idea, but now he has his own whims.
"That's all, during the expedition, you must protect your sister and yourself. Go ahead!" Gong Hongyu compromised.
The two of them excused themselves and left. Gong Hongyu read the handwriting on the secret letter again and frowned. This secret letter...
