"Is it necessary to die?" Gong Yuanzheng blinked and asked his sister in confusion.
He read through countless medical books and medical records, and how many people sought out famous doctors just to live for even one more day.
"This is the path chosen by the leader, and we have no right to interfere."
"However, we must not let Gong Er go out tonight. By the way, has he come back?" Gong Yaozheng suddenly remembered this.
"When I was in the Blade Palace this morning, I heard that my brother was approaching the palace gate. He should have arrived at the Corner Palace by now!" Gong Yuanzheng looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon.
Gong Yaozheng also looked at the sky, it was noon~
It's time for lunch!
Seeing Gong Yuanzheng excitedly heading to the dining room, Gong Yuanzheng fell silent.
He must remember that he was talking about whether his brother was coming back or not!
Therefore, when Gong Shangjiao came to Zhenggong, Gong Yaozheng was eating and drinking, basking in the sun!
Covering your eyes with a drawing book, humming an unknown ditty.
"At dusk, the lamps and shadows fall, and I paint a little bit of ink on my heart...how can I tell the difference between you and me~"
"Brother?" Gong Yuanzheng shouted in confusion when he saw his brother standing next to his sister's recliner with an incomprehensible expression.
"Yuanzheng, it's out of tune!" Gong Yaozheng paused, frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction.
Hearing no reply, Gong Yaozheng took the painting notebook away from his face and saw Gong Shangjiao looking down at him.
She was so startled that the recliner almost tipped over!
Fortunately, Gong Shangjiao stretched out his hand to support the back of the chair, and then took the painting book in her hand.
Turned two pages...
He rolled up the book and carried it behind his back: "Ahem, what tune did you just hum? It sounded pretty good!"
"The lyrics were written by a lyricist named Gu, and the music was composed by a composer named Wang. Yuanzheng can also sing it, and the singing is better than mine!" She didn't feel good looking up, so she climbed down from the recliner.
He took a few steps back and promoted his younger brother.
Gong Yuanzheng: Is this a problem with the song?
"Brother, my sister and I are just going to Kakunomiya to find you. We will hold the sword tonight..."
Gong Yuanzheng suddenly paused because a servant passed by...
Gong Shangjiao raised his eyebrows slightly, gesturing to come in and talk.
The three of them entered the room. Gong Shangjiao put the painting book on the side out of Gong Yaozheng's reach: "Tell me, what happened to holding the sword?"
"You will die if you hold the sword tonight!" Before Gong Yuanzheng could speak, Gong Yuanzheng said six words directly.
Gong Shangjiao's hand holding the teacup paused slightly: "Did Yuanzheng check Zhiren's pulse today?"
Didn’t it mean that at least the marriage selection should be over, after the wedding?
"He doesn't want to live anymore!" Gong Yaozheng looked resentfully at the picture book that was out of his reach and spoke very concisely.
Gong Shangjiao moved the painting notebook further away: "How do you say this?"
"Young Master bribed Guanshi Jia of Zheng Palace and replaced the Baicao Cui that held the sword in Zheng Palace. Tonight, we may have to use the immeasurable flowing fire as a guide to poison the sword." Gong Yaozheng returned his gaze and said calmly He opened his mouth and looked away.
"Zhibian knows?" Gong Shangjiao's expression changed slightly. How could Zhibian be so impulsive?
"I know, but he still doesn't believe that the young master will really kill him. He said that after he dies, you will be the next one to hold the sword. He has already given you the documents to establish the young master." Gong Yaozheng felt that Gong Shang Jiao's behavior was very strange, as if he didn't know.
"What document?" Gong Shangjiao suddenly remembered that the slip he gave him last time was said to have been opened only after something serious happened.
Does this turn out to be the big deal?
That's a big deal!
"That's nonsense, I'm going to find the blade right now!" Gong Shangjiao stood up and was about to leave, but Gong Yaozheng held him back.
"Second brother, calm down! Listen to me first."
Gong Shangjiao sat down following Gong Yaozheng's strength and regained his composure, but there was still a storm brewing in his eyes.
With this move, where will the palace gate be placed? Don't you think about the consequences at all?
Gong Yaozheng didn't hide it either. He didn't trust Gong Shangjiao enough to hold the sword. How could she not trust him? Besides, it was so frustrating to hide everything in her heart, so of course she had to find someone to share it with.
So, she explained the matter of entrusting her with the sword. After all, it is easier to do things when you have a partner!
The more Gong Shangjiao listened, the deeper his frown deepened: "You mean, Zhibian used his own death to set up a situation, just to enable Gong Ziyu to be able to take charge of Yu Palace?"
Gong Yaozheng pursed his lips and nodded obediently.
"You still agree?" Gong Shangjiao's voice raised slightly. Does she know what this means?
"Why don't you agree? Guards in the front and back mountains, if anyone dares to bully Yuanzheng's brother in the future, I will lead a group of people to beat him up!" Gong Yuanzheng said, this is really exciting and impressive.
"Of course, you can rest assured that the Yu Palace is in the hands of the current Gong Ziyu? That is the defense of the palace gate? What if it is missed?"
"That's not what I mean!" Gong Shangjiao felt that Gong Yaozheng must not have memorized the palace rules well.
"What is that?" Gong Yaozheng was a little confused.
"Do you know what Gongmen's power of dismissal means?" Gong Shangjiao's tone was a little heavy.
"What?" Not only Gong Yuanzheng was curious, but Gong Yuanzheng was also a little curious. He wielded the power of dismissal, which sounded very powerful!
Gong Shangjiao looked at the two pairs of watery eyes looking straight at him, feeling helpless, and slowly spoke.
"It is recorded in the palace records that the second sword holder after the first sword holder had the right to remove the sword holder. The person who held it at that time was the second lady of Kakunomiya, the sister of the second sword holder. Later, the second sword holder The young lady deposed her brother with her own hands, and the succession was initiated in the absence of the palace gate, and he became the Young Master Shang of the Shang Palace."
"But all this was instigated by the second young lady's husband. He tried to cause infighting within the palace and take charge of the palace as a son-in-law, but he ultimately failed. The palace also took warning, and later, there was no Women who pass through the palace have the right to remove themselves from the sword, but this right still exists.”
"Article 327 of the ancestral precepts of the palace rules states that the right to remove a sword bearer is personally granted by the previous sword bearer and witnessed by the Council of Elders. The holder needs to meet three conditions. First, he must be in the palace. The second is a direct lineage woman who has made outstanding contributions to the palace and has no quarrel with the fourth palace. This third item was added later..."
Gong Shangjiao hesitated, which made Gong Yaozheng even more curious. He blinked and looked at him expectantly.
The tips of Gong Shangjiao's ears were slightly red when he was stared at, and he coughed lightly: "The third rule is that any woman who holds the right to remove the sword is prohibited from marrying for life. Once she marries, she will give up this right. This is also a lesson learned from the past. , plus the palace rules."
Gong Yaozheng was slightly stunned, so what does this have to do with her?
Not to mention that what she values is not the power of dismissal, even if it is, she has never thought about getting married!
What's going on with these two brothers? Something has been wrong since Jindu. Why are they always trying to get her married?
Isn't she comfortable being alone? If it didn't work out, she would study with Sister Zishang, go to the guard camp to find a handsome boy to tease her, and look at her abs when she had time. She was not living a leisurely life.
Marry? What it is? It has nothing to do with her Gong Yaozheng!
Gong Yaozheng's stupor made Gong Shangjiao's heart tighten. He stood up and said, "I'm going to find Zhibian right now. Why do they let you wade through troubled waters regarding Yu Palace's affairs?"
"Yes, brother, I'll go with you!" Gong Yuanzheng also realized the seriousness of the problem. Although he didn't want her sister to get married, this was completely different from her sister not being able to get married!
Gong Yaozheng reacted and pulled him back again: "Second brother, brother Yuanzheng! You just...want me to get married so much?"
The two of them were slightly startled at the same time, and then sat back obediently. Gong Yuanzheng asked in confusion: "Sister, what do you mean by this?"
Gong Yaozheng smiled and tapped his forehead with his finger: "What are you thinking about all day long? This power of dismissal means that if I want to use this right, I will have to do it for the rest of my life. Marry. But the next one to hold the sword is the second brother! Why should I remove him?"
"Besides, even if I want to get married, wouldn't it be great if I don't want this power of dismissal! This power of dismissal, to put it bluntly, is the sword of Shang Fang, which serves to intimidate the blade and make him stick to his duty. Second brother, you Can you be shocked by me?" Gong Yaozheng suddenly approached Gong Shangjiao, smiled brightly, and joked.
Gong Shangjiao was stunned for a moment and leaned back a little.
"Ayao, you're too close..."
"Oh!" Gong Yaozheng quickly stepped back and sat down obediently.
Gong Shangjiao felt the faint medicinal fragrance and slightly sweet breath coming from Gong Yaozheng's body leave him. If he missed something, his hand was slightly bent, with clear joints.
His eyes were dark and unclear, and he actually had inappropriate thoughts about Ayao...
Damn it!
Seeing Gong Shangjiao's look, Gong Yuanzheng thought his brother was angry: "Brother, sister is just joking with you. I know you never like to get close to others, not even your sister?"
For the first time, Gong Yuanzheng felt that his brother was making a fuss out of a molehill!
"No, I was just shocked!" Gong Shangjiao joked, suppressing the strangeness in his heart.
Gong Yaozheng couldn't help being amused. He didn't expect Gong Er to joke!
"Then you have to be a good swordsman from now on, I will supervise you!" Gong Yaozheng said deliberately and sadly.
"Then I have to be more careful!" Gong Shangjiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and continued the topic.
"Sister, are you really not planning to get married in the future?" Gong Yuanzheng still asked this question without giving up.
"If I don't get married, will my brother keep raising an old sister like me?" Gong Yaozheng joked.
"Of course, I'm willing to raise him as long as I want. Even if I can't afford it, I still have brother! Brother, are you right?" Gong Yuanzheng looked at his brother who had felt something wrong from the beginning.
Gong Shangjiao was lost in thought, don't you want to get married?
He looked at his younger brother Yuanzheng, then at Gong Yaozheng who also looked forward to his answer, and said, "Yes!"
Gong Yaozheng was very happy and said that he had obtained the two bound meal tickets. Once Wu Feng's matter was over, he could continue to show off!
"I will do what I say, tomorrow, no, I will draw up a letter of guarantee and sign it now!" Gong Yaozheng did as he said, and got up to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After a while, two letters of guarantee were issued. Except for the different names, the content was almost the same. The letter read:
"Gong Yuanzheng (Gong Shangjiao) hereby establishes this agreement and is willing to bear the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Gong Yuanzheng, the second lady of Gongmen, forever. No matter he marries a wife and has children in the future, he will never forget Gong Yuanzheng's food, four seasons every year. There is no limit to clothes, jewelry, or drawing books. I hereby guarantee it."
Gong Yaozheng blew on the wet ink and took a piece of ink pad: "Come on, make a fingerprint!"
Gong Yuanzheng took the guarantee letter and said somewhat amusedly: "Sister, is this all your ambition?"
He would pick off every moon his sister asked for, not to mention four sets of clothes in one season, even forty sets were too few for him.
His sister deserves the best in the world!
"I'm just thinking about you. If there are too many, I won't use them. These are enough. Hurry up and put your fingerprints on them, and I'll put them away!"
"Sister, are four sets too little?" He always wears at least eight sets of clothes a season.
"No, look, you have four sets, he has four sets, and I have eight sets! Moreover, I also have the palace gate's share. I have sixteen sets. There are so many, I can't wear them all. , there is no way to wear them all!" Gong Yaozheng said happily, but found that Gong Shangjiao picked up the pen, crossed out the line in the drawing book, and added a few words at the back of the clothes.
He quickly stamped his fingerprints on the paper and handed it to her...
Gong Yaozheng:......
