The moonlight shines on the highest roof in Jindu, and the night wind blows through the window screen on the attic, and the scene in the attic is vaguely visible...
The atmosphere is a little...unnatural...
It can be said that the situation is tense...
Yan Jiao's attendant was standing in front of Yan Jiao, with the sword in his hand unsheathed and in a defensive posture.
Gong Shangjiao's expression was very bad. He stared at Yanjiao for a moment. His eyes were like ice in the cold winter, and like a wolf lurking in the dark night. He was on guard. If Yanjiao made any rash move, he would Will take action!
Yan Jiao looked at the rumored Mr. Gong Er, Gong Shangjiao, who was calm and self-possessed, with a joking look on his face, and did not take his warning seriously at all.
He raised his hand and patted the person in front of him, signaling the attendant to put down his knife and ask him to step back...
The attendant hesitated for a moment, then put the knife back into the scabbard, took a step back, and stood behind Yan Jiao, but still placed his hand on the handle of the knife.
Yan Jiao looked at the soft couch and felt a cold and biting murderous intent coming towards him. He curled his lips and smiled, turned around and sat down at the table, not looking at the soft couch in the inner room.
Gong Yuanzheng was giving medicine to Gong Yuanzheng, which was not easy. Even if he was unconscious, Gong Yuanzheng instinctively resisted taking the medicine.
"Brother, help me get the candied dates on the table!" Gong Yuanzheng had no choice but to ask Gong Shangjiao for help after his third attempt failed.
Gong Shangjiao looked at the table, Yan Jiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and pushed the plate with candied dates out obediently.
Gong Shangjiao quickly stepped forward, took a piece of candied dates with quick eyes and quick hands, walked to the soft couch, and handed the candied dates to Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yuanzheng held Gong Yuanzheng with one hand to prevent her from lying down, and held the medicine bowl with the other hand. How could he have a hand to take it?
"Brother, just feed me!" Gong Yuanzheng was a little anxious. The allergic symptoms were getting more serious. Gong Yuanzheng's breathing had begun to become rapid. If my sister didn't take the medicine, she might suffocate if she continued.
Gong Shangjiao hesitated for a moment, then twisted a piece of candied dates with his slender fingers, looked at Gong Yaozheng's slightly open mouth due to difficulty in breathing, and fed the candied dates in.
The candied dates entered her mouth and were held by Gong Yaozheng. Gong Shangjiao's hand inevitably touched her lips.
His whole body was shocked as if he had been electrocuted. Gong Shangjiao quickly retracted his hand, the tips of his ears turning red.
His fingers were slightly bent, as if there was nowhere to put them, and he glanced sideways at the soft couch. Because the candied dates were in his mouth, the bitterness of the medicine was covered up, and Gong Yuanzheng was finally able to feed the medicine in.
After Gong Yuanzheng finished administering the medicine, he wiped the juice from the corners of Gong Yuanzheng's mouth and slowly laid her down. He touched her pulse with his hand and felt that her pulse was not as disordered as before, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning his head to meet Gong Shangjiao's eyes, he blinked, a little strange: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, Ayao..." Gong Shangjiao naturally believed in Gong Yuanzheng's medical skills, but he still asked one more question.
"Sister, she is fine. The allergic symptoms are probably due to an allergy to alcohol. The physical reason is due to my negligence. My sister has never drank alcohol in the palace, so she didn't pay attention." Gong Yuanzheng blamed himself. This wine was still his. Pour it for your sister to drink.
But when Gong Shangjiao heard this, his expression changed. He unsheathed the knife in his hand, and in a flash, he put the knife on Yan Jiao's neck: "Tell me, what's in the wine?"
Yan Jiao raised his hand to stop the attendant who was about to draw the sword. He knew that he could not defeat Gong Shangjiao, and if he rashly drew the sword, he would only be shaken away by the internal force.
Gong Yuanzheng was also shocked by this scene, but his brother would not have an attack for no reason. Is there really something wrong with the wine?
But the pulse he took was fine, it was indeed an allergy!
Gong Yuanzheng looked at the wine and drank it himself, no problem!
"Brother, have you misunderstood something?" Gong Yuanzheng saw that Gong Shangjiao's knife was about to cut through Yan Jiao's neck, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Ayao, she can't be allergic to alcohol. She drank alcohol at the palace gate. Have you forgotten?" Gong Shangjiao frowned slightly and looked at Gong Yuanzheng, suddenly realizing that Yuanzheng's younger brother seemed to be... not there at that time!
It was a spring day one year. Gong Shangjiao was sitting on the steps in the courtyard of Kakunomiya, pouring wine into a wine glass and drinking alone.
Holding in my hand the paper kite that Brother Lang used to fly in the spring, I looked at the traces on it and thought about the joy and laughter at that time.
Gong Yaozheng ran over in a hurry, hiding here and there...
She accidentally saw Gong Shangjiao. She looked at the paper kite in Gong Shangjiao's hand and saw the loneliness on Gong Shangjiao's face. She knew that he was missing the brother Lang whom she had never met.
Gong Yaozheng stepped forward and snatched the peach blossom wine from Gong Shangjiao's hand: "Master Jiao, are you using wine to drown your sorrows?"
"No matter how big or small you are, you should call me Second Brother and return the wine to me!" Gong Shangjiao looked up and saw the bright girl holding a wine bottle in her hand with a proud look on her face.
At this time, I heard Gong Yuanzheng's voice coming from the door: "Sister, I used Poria cocos to neutralize the nature of this medicine. It's not bitter. Stop hiding! I see you!"
Gong Yuanzheng's voice was still childish. The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy held a medicine bowl in his hand, but he did not spill a drop.
Panic flashed in Gong Yaozheng's eyes: "Second brother, help me hide and I will return the wine to you!"
Gong Shangjiao sighed slightly and pointed to a corner of the courtyard: "Go there!"
"Thank you!" Gong Yaozheng ran over.
"Brother, have you seen my sister? She has been suffering from abdominal pain recently, and she still refuses to drink my modified Angelica dahurica and golden grass tea!" Gong Yuanzheng's voice was soft, with a milky voice that had not yet changed. Angry, a little distressed.
Gong Shangjiao looked at the corner. Gong Yaozheng was clasping his hands to him, begging.
"Never!" Gong Shangjiao's voice was calm, and Gong Yuanzheng had no doubts, so he had to look elsewhere.
After the palace expedition leaves...
"Come out!" Gong Shangjiao said calmly, but no one responded.
He walked to the corner in confusion. Is there anyone else in the corner? Only the lonely wine bottle was left. He bent down and picked up the wine bottle, frowning slightly...
The wine in the jug has disappeared...
He smiled helplessly, went back to the study and put the kite back into the cabinet, and didn't take it out again.
…
Gong Yuanzheng was a little innocent. He really couldn't remember when his sister had drunk alcohol!
Gong Shangjiao's expression also changed slightly. He subconsciously thought that Gong Yaozheng drank the wine. Is it possible that the wine bottle was already empty of wine?
Impossible, even if he was immersed in his own thoughts at the time, he could still clearly remember that there was half the wine left in the jug.
Gong Shangjiao took back the knife that was placed on Yan Jiao's neck, looked at the pot of wine, poured a glass, and drank it all!
"Brother!" Gong Yuanzheng was a little shocked, what if the wine was really poisonous! How terrifying would it be to have poison that even he couldn't identify?
Gong Shangjiao gave him a look, indicating that he was fine. He tasted the unusual taste in the wine, and his face brightened: "There are white peaches in this fruit wine!"
Yan Jiao watched the blade go away from her and didn't want to pay attention to him. She ordered the attendant: "Call Nightingale!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng also understood what his brother meant. The allergen was not wine, but something in the wine.
But he still couldn't remember when his sister started drinking!
Gong Shangjiao sat on a chair next to him and looked at Gong Yuanzheng with a burning gaze that made Gong Yuanzheng's heart tremble and he lowered his eyes.
"Brother Yuanzheng, explain why you and Ayao are here!"
Gong Yuanzheng glanced at Yanjiao. Yanjiao had nothing to do with it. He took a sip of tea and stood on the sidelines.
Gong Yuanzheng had no choice but to talk about what happened after leaving the dock today, including what happened in Yanjiao...
"Brother, haven't you already..." left for Suzhou? At the end, Gong Yuanzheng hesitated to speak.
"I received Fei Ge on the way and said that you have entered Yanyu Pavilion. I happened to have some unfinished business in Jindu. Things have improved in Gusu, so I am not in a hurry to leave. I stopped by to take a look. What's so attractive about the West Tower!" Gong Shangjiao said seriously, not forgetting to glance at Yan Jiao who was drinking tea.
"And when I left, I told you not to bring your sister to these messy places." Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Yuanzheng in front of him with a hint of reproach.
But in the end he sighed, how could he stop his sister during the expedition?
Gong Yuanzheng's head hung slightly, and his eyes were slightly red: "But brother, I said that my sister and I are here to do business, not for fun."
Gong Shangjiao fell silent, and his tone softened: "Yuanzheng, I'm not blaming you. Ayao is different from you. She is your sister and a woman. There is a mixed bag here. If someone has evil intentions, you can guarantee that Can you protect your sister?"
Gong Shangjiao said seriously, and every word he said entered Gong Yuanzheng's heart. He looked at Gong Yuanzheng, whose breathing had gradually stabilized on the soft couch. Indeed, he was not sure!
"I was wrong!" Gong Yuanzheng had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, what's wrong? Not wrong at all!" Gong Yuanzheng's voice came. She vaguely heard Gong Shangjiao questioning Yuanzheng's younger brother. She tried to wake up and defended her younger brother, her voice was weak, and she still A little hoarse.
"I deceived him, making him think that there was a Wufeng assassin in the west building, and then he agreed to let me come in to find out. It has nothing to do with my brother Yuanzheng. Even if I am wrong, it is mine alone, not to mention , what's wrong? Am I okay?" Gong Yaozheng rubbed his aching head and said righteously.
Seeing her like this, Gong Shangjiao did not forget to protect Gong Yuanzheng. His eyes softened slightly, but he still said sternly: "Is it wrong for a woman to visit a brothel?"
Gong Yuanzheng stood up and held the edge of the soft couch. His body was a little weak. Gong Yuanzheng quickly stepped forward to support him: "Sister!"
Gong Yaozheng smiled and indicated that he was fine.
Turning his head to face Gong Shangjiao's dark eyes, there seemed to be waves in those dark eyes.
Gong Yaozheng swallowed his saliva and said in an unreasonable tone: "Men can visit this brothel, why can't women? I don't believe you, Gong Er, have never visited a brothel in these years!"
"Besides, this West Tower is not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. Is there anyone who can eat it for me? Even if it's a tiger's den, I'm just here to catch tiger cubs for the sake of the palace gate!" Gong Yaozheng looked at the place with a gesture. Yan Jiao, who was looking at a show, moved his fingers slightly.
Yan Jiao turned the ring in her hand and stood up: "Miss Gong Er is right. Now Miss Gong Er and I are friends. Xilou and Gongmen have a common enemy!"
Gong Shangjiao looked at the two people singing and singing, his eyes darkened...
After a while, he stood up and said, "It's up to you!"
He strode out of the room, his back looking a little lonely...
"Brother!" Gong Yuanzheng saw this and chased after him...
Gong Yaozheng lost his support and quickly held on to the pillar on the side. Yanjiao originally wanted to hold on, but thought it was inappropriate. Seeing that she stabilized her figure, he was slightly relieved.
"Aren't you going to chase?" Yan Jiao looked at Gong Yaozheng jokingly. This farce started inexplicably and ended inexplicably. This palace gate is a bit interesting.
"Didn't I chase one out? Do you think I have the strength to chase him?" Gong Yaozheng was speechless. They all left. It's good to leave!
Yan Jiao stepped forward: "Why don't you, Yan, reluctantly help you?"
Gong Yaozheng looked at the vixen-like man in front of him and moved his eyes away. No, he would be sucked out if he took one more look at him.
She waved her hand and slowly sat down while holding on to the pillar: "No, I just need to rest for a while. I felt a little dizzy when I got up just now!"
"Also, there are rats in your building, are you sure you don't want to clean it up?" Gong Yaozheng said with unclear meaning, making Yan Jiao's eyes change slightly.
As soon as Gong Yuanzheng chased him out, his brother disappeared. A cry of surprise came from the first floor. When he went downstairs, he saw Gong Shangjiao pinching the oiran's neck, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Nightingale struggled, wanting to speak but unable to. The attendant on the side tried to stop her, but was swatted away by Gong Shangjiao.
Gong Yuanzheng was slightly startled. His brother was a little angry tonight.
"Brother, if you pinch her again she will die!" Gong Yuanzheng stopped her.
Gong Shangjiao threw Nightingale to the ground and pointed the tip of the knife at her neck: "Did you send that fruit wine?"
Nightingale coughed twice, her eyes filled with tears. She was so pitiful that I felt pity for her: "I don't know what the young master is talking about!"
The tip of the knife was a little closer, and Nightingale saw Gong Yuanzheng behind Gong Shangjiao: "Yes, but I just gave him the wine, but what happened to that girl?"
As soon as these words came out, even Gong Yuanzheng changed his expression. There is something wrong with this person!
Gong Yuanzheng curled his lips and smiled, a dangerous smile. He stepped forward and forced a pill into the nightingale's mouth. He tapped her acupuncture points a few times and let the pill slide down.
The movement was so fast that Gong Shangjiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nightingale hurriedly squeezed her throat, trying to spit out the pill, but it had already entered her stomach. She raised her beautiful face. At this moment, there was no trace of coquettishness on her face, but fear: "What did you feed me?" ?”
Immediately, she felt a cramp in her abdomen: "Ah!"
Gong Yuanzheng knelt down, lifted her chin, and looked at her with a look of disgust: "Tell me, who sent you here, otherwise, this poison will kill you and make you unable to survive. Please You can’t die!”
Nightingale was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She wanted to bite the poison sac in her mouth, but Gong Yuanzheng curled his lips and smiled, and quickly removed her chin with quick eyes and hands, without any mercy.
This place is secluded, no guests pass by, otherwise they will definitely scream.
Gong Yuanzheng put on his gloves and used the tip of the knife to pick out the poison sac from Nightingale's mouth. He smiled: "Brother, she is Wu Feng!"
Without him, this kind of poison is what all Wufeng assassins will hide behind their teeth when they go on a mission, so that they can commit suicide directly after being exposed.
Over the years, Wu Feng has been studying Gong Men, and Gong Men is also studying Wu Feng!
The attendant was also a little confused. Is Sister Nightingale Wu Feng?
The bloody night is singing, Nightingale's eyes are downcast, she is Wu Feng, but in these years, she has never done anything to be sorry for the young master, except this time...
She learned that the young master was entertaining guests today, and among them was a female guest. She learned from the young master’s bodyguard that she was from the Gong family!
She memorized the information from the palace gate. Wu Feng obtained the clues from the palace gate's purchase of ingredients over the years. The preferences and taboos of the direct descendants of the palace gate, and the taboos of the second lady of the palace include white peaches!
Of course, it was the dandy from Gongmen who said that Miss Gong Er was allergic to white peach...
Just in time, the fruit wine in the wine cellar was brewed... Although there were white peaches in the wine, it was overshadowed by the fruity aroma of bayberry...
But allergies don’t kill you!
Over the years, Wufeng headquarters has begun to distrust her. She needs to do something to make a contribution. This time is a good opportunity!
Miss Gong Er's deeds were widely circulated in Wu Feng, and three Jackdaws were in her hands. If she could verify Miss Gong Er's weakness, she could continue to mediate for the young master in Wu Feng!
But I didn’t expect that it would be exposed!
As a figure slowly fell from the top floor of Yanyu Pavilion, Yan Jiao flew down with Gong Yaozheng. When he landed, Gong Yaozheng almost lost his footing, and Yan Jiao helped her slightly.
Gong Shangjiao's eyes flickered for a moment, and then sank again. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. He couldn't care less about his sister who was older and had a new love interest. Yan Jiao could barely catch his eye.
If it was true as Yuanzheng's younger brother said, the General's Mansion was ransacked more than ten years ago, it might really have something to do with the palace. He was still young at the time, but he vaguely knew that during that time, his father and several uncles spent many nights together. I can't sleep, but people in the world cannot interfere with the court, there is nothing you can do about it! You can only be ruthless and cunning in secret.
When Nightingale saw Yan Jiao, her eyes brightened slightly, but she lowered her head again. She couldn't let the young master see her in such a mess.
"elder sister!"
"Ayao!"
Okay, now the two brothers realized that they had lost someone!
Gong Yuanzheng didn't want to pay attention to them. She walked up to Nightingale and said twice: "Brother Yuanzheng, you are too cruel. Quickly put the girl's chin on. It would be a pity to ruin such a beautiful face!"
Gong Yuanzheng stepped forward and used his gloved hands a few times to force his jaw back to its original position with a teeth-searing click.
Yan Jiao looked at Nightingale with a serious look: "Are you really Wu Feng?"
Nightingale nodded and raised her eyes: "So, Master, do you want to kill me?"
Yan Jiao did not speak, but bowed to Gong Shangjiao uncharacteristically: "Mr. Gong Er, today's matter is indeed a problem of Xilou, but this person is from Xilou. I would like to ask Mr. Gong Er to hand it over to Xilou." Deal with it!"
Gong Shangjiao glanced at Gong Yaozheng, meaning you discovered it, you decide!
Gong Yaozheng looked at Wu Feng. The love for Yan Jiao in his eyes was so strong that he looked like he was in love. Gong Men had better give him a favor for their own affairs in Xilou!
"Of course, but I suffered such a big crime in Xilou, so some compensation from Xilou is not excessive!" Gong Yaozheng answered for Gong Shangjiao.
"Miss Gong Er, please tell me!"
"Pack up all the gems in the water and deliver them to me, okay?" Gong Yaozheng pointed to the sparkling gems in the flowing water in the courtyard.
Yan Jiao's eyes were full of doting: "If Miss Gong wants it, Yan will give it to you, but the quality of the water is not good. How about I give you ten boxes of good quality gems then?"
Gong Yaozheng's eyes brightened slightly, and he was very pleased with Yan Jiao. He was a teachable boy!
These thighs... no, she is determined to be her friend!
