The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines into the Old Dust Valley, revealing a little glow, and the dew slips from the tips of the grass blades, reflecting the shimmer.
Gong Yuanzheng stood at the entrance of the back mountain with some worry. He was stopped by the guard, folding his arms and frowning slightly.
His brother and sister stayed away all night, which made him a little uneasy. Even the elders were busy with their own affairs.
One early morning, Gong Yuanzheng ran through half of the palace gate, and was finally blocked at the entrance of the back mountain.
"Even I dare to stop you! You're so arrogant!" Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were filled with impatience and eager worry.
"Forgive me, Mr. Zheng, but the rules of the palace gate cannot be broken. We really can't let you in." The guard advised earnestly.
"If something happens to my brother and my sister, and there are no rules or regulations, believe it or not, I will let you have a taste of my rules?" Gong Yuanzheng looked at the closed door and couldn't help but force his way through.
The guard crossed his swords with a determined expression, refusing to give way.
"Get out of the way! I'm counting to three, one, two..."
"Brother Yuanzheng!" The door at the entrance to the back mountain was opened, and Gong Yuanzheng's voice came out first.
Gong Yuanzheng's expression changed, and the venomous look on his face disappeared, and he raised a smile: "Sister!"
The guard secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead and put down the knife in his hand.
Gong Yuanzheng hurriedly stepped forward and looked him up and down. There was a hair missing from her side: "Sister, what happened? Didn't you promise to come back at night?"
Gong Yaozheng turned around and signaled that he was fine and would wait until he returned to Zheng Palace.
Gong Yuanzheng didn't ask any more questions, and looked behind Gong Yuanzheng, who was talking to the elder about something. Seeing that he was fine, he stopped disturbing him and looked at each other.
Gong Shangjiao nodded slightly to Gong Yuanzheng. Gong Yuanzheng understood and took Gong Yuanzheng back to Zheng Palace first.
Gong Shangjiao told the elders about the Qimen Formation.
This morning…
The dewdrops were slightly frosty, and the three elders were dozing at the fork in the road. They saw Gong Yaozheng and Gong Shangjiao coming out together, a little embarrassed, but not injured.
The three elders hurriedly stepped forward, their bodies a little unsteady: "I have seen Zhibian, Zhibian, Ayao, are you okay?"
"It's okay, why are the elders here?" Gong Shangjiao was a little confused.
"We deserve to die for our sins, and I would like to apologize to Master Zhibian for your forgiveness." Elder Yue said, maintaining a saluting posture.
Gong Shangjiao raised his hand to support Elder Yue, and looked at the fatigue on the faces of the three elders: "Were you here all the time last night?"
"Last night, I suddenly remembered the formation of the Wind Palace. I thought that Zhibian and Ayao hadn't come out yet, and realized that I was in trouble, so I called the elders and came to the door to pick up Zhibian." Elder Hua explained.
"Do the elders know that there is a maze in the Wind Palace?" Gong Shangjiao let go of his hand and stood with his hands behind his back.
Elder Hua lowered his head: "Yes!"
Gong Shangjiao took a deep look at Elder Hua, and the other elders were a little nervous: "Well, fortunately, Ayao and I were not injured, but there are some things in this maze that I need to ask the elders, and I need them to answer truthfully. "
"Master Zhibian, feel free to ask. We will tell you everything we know." Elder Hua admitted his mistake sincerely.
Gong Shangjiao glanced at Gong Yaozheng: "Where's Ayao?"
Seeing that he was suddenly targeted, Ayao rolled his eyes and said, "Elder Hua, I recently designed a sleeve arrow. I need to work hard, Elder Hua, to study it and help me make it."
Elder Hua's eyes lit up. Although Ayao seemed to be troubling him, why did he feel that Ayao was rewarding him?
Gong Shangjiao shook his head helplessly. Ayao never had any bad intentions, and even this was treated lightly.
But Gong Yaozheng knows that this matter has passed with her, but in the hearts of the elders, they may never get over it in this life.
Moreover, in the hearts of the elders, Gong Yaozheng will definitely value and favor Gong Yaozheng more.
Elder Hua naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and Gong Yaozheng said that he would send the drawings to Hua Palace when he returned.
Along the way, Gong Shangjiao and the elders talked about the Qimen Formation, while Gong Yaozheng listened absently.
My mind wandered back to this morning...
Beside the waterfall…
She woke up in Gong Shangjiao's arms and met a pair of cold and dark eyes: "Second brother, are you awake?"
"Um!"
Gong Yaozheng was wondering why he couldn't get up when he woke up, when he realized that he was pressing his arm. He was probably afraid that he would wake up, so he didn't dare to move at all.
Gong Yaozheng stood up, and Gong Shangjiao rubbed his arm calmly, making Gong Yaozheng a little embarrassed.
She went to the waterfall to wash up briefly, tidy up her slightly messy hair, and looked at the slightly bright sky. The real feeling made her understand that this formation had been closed.
The midnight Wu song last night affected both of them, and they even had a dream.
In the dream, she was the general's concubine, and the general's face was like that of the second palace. The love he had before the expedition was so heart-warming that her face felt slightly hot when she thought about it now.
Then to the suicide of love by the Chishui River...
Is that emotion that follows life and death, love?
Gong Yaozheng touched his heart and looked at Gong Shangjiao who was packing his things over there, his heart beating slightly wildly.
Gong Shangjiao completely extinguished the smoking bonfire with water, picked up the cloak on the ground, handed it to Gong Yaozheng, and went to wash himself.
Gong Yaozheng looked at the somewhat messy cloak and smelled the faint musk scent on the cloak. He thought of his boldness last night and his face turned slightly red.
"Ayao, let's go!"
"coming!"
…
When they walked to the door of the back mountain, they heard Gong Yuanzheng counting to three. Gong Yuanzheng quickly quickened his pace and asked the guard inside to open the door.
Called Yuanzheng brother...
"Sister, did you and brother really nothing happen last night?"
In the imperial palace,
Gong Yuanzheng was a little suspicious after hearing the whole story...
His sister's expression is not normal!
Feeling guilty!
"No! We just slept together!" Gong Yaozheng took a sip of tea and said firmly.
Gong Yuanzheng didn't ask any more questions, but he was still afraid that his sister would suffer a loss without realizing it. He thought to himself that he had to go to his brother to find out.
Gong Yaozheng didn't sleep well last night. After returning to Zheng Palace, he asked his maid to put hot water in for a bath, and then went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
Gong Yuanzheng found out that Gong Shangjiao had returned to Jiao Palace, so he hurriedly left Zheng Palace and went to Jiao Palace.
In the Moon Palace…
Gong Ziyu took the medicinal materials handed over by the servant, checked them, and suddenly frowned: "That's wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"This is bile wood, not turnip ginger! Although the two are similar in appearance, the inner core of turnip ginger is brown, while the inner core of turnip wood is white and smooth, with no dot-like pores." Gong Ziyu picked up the piece of medicinal material and looked at it. He looked at the servant unkindly.
The servant suddenly smiled and said respectfully: "Congratulations, Mr. Yu, this is a surprise test given to you by Mr. Yue. Mr. Yu passed it successfully."
"Master Yue, are you testing my ability to identify medicines?" Gong Ziyu put down the bile in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his beautiful eyebrows.
"Exactly, otherwise, how could we dare to mistake the fake for the real and make such a mistake?" After the servant finished speaking, he took out a medicine bag from his arms: "This is the turnip ginger Mr. Yu wanted."
Gong Ziyu took the turnip ginger handed over by the servant, and after carefully identifying it, he let the servant go down.
He walked to the side and started to cook the medicine. As he cooked the medicine, he muttered: "Master Yue looks gentle and gentle, but in fact he is full of evil. Fortunately, I was prepared for it!"
An hour later…
A bowl of black steaming decoction was poured out from the medicine jar. Gong Ziyu looked at the dregs of medicine in the medicine jar and muttered something: "Jie spear, turnip ginger, pine blue flower, gardenia mountain return... ocher As a guide, boil it in half-cooked water..."
Gong Ziyu was so focused that he didn't notice what was behind him. Mr. Yue stood there and looked at him for a long time.
Seeing his happy face, Mr. Yue couldn't help but shook his head, and was about to speak to remind...
Gong Ziyu suddenly thought of something: "Wait, there is this!"
After Gong Ziyu finished speaking, he took out the cold knife stone from the paper bag on the side and put it into the bowl.
"Young Master Yu is really smart. The cold sword stone repels insects. How did you guess that there were insect eggs in the medicine?" Young Master Yue's voice came from behind, making Gong Ziyu turn around.
Gong Ziyu thought that this was what Yun Weishan said in his sleep, so he didn't tell the truth: "This is a secret!"
Seeing that Gong Ziyu obviously didn't want to talk, Mr. Yue didn't ask any more questions. He just folded his hands in front of him and looked at him with a faint smile.
Gong Ziyu picked up the soup bowl and put it in front of Mr. Yue, with a look of anticipation on his face: "Is this the right antidote?"
Mr. Yue's eyes were light: "Whether it's right or wrong, you'll know once you try it."
"How to try?" Gong Ziyu was a little confused.
"Try the medicine, of course you have to take it! Isn't Miss Yun poisoned?" Young Master Yue reminded.
Gong Ziyu was stunned. He didn't dare to use Yun Weishan to test the medicine.
"Young Master Yu, are you feeling distressed? You should indeed feel distressed. These medicines you use are so strong that they may be more torturous than a lunar eclipse if you take them." Young Master Yue looked at the prescription beside him and said something unclear.
Gong Ziyu lowered his eyes slightly, how could he not know that this bowl of medicine was very powerful.
While he was struggling in his heart, Mr. Yue didn't know when he would leave.
Gong Ziyu walked to the soft couch beside him. Yun Weishan's poison was acting up. He was restless in his sleep and frowned.
Gong Ziyu touched Yun Weishan's face, brushed her broken hair aside, and smoothed Yun Weishan's frowning brows with his fingers.
She struggled internally for a moment, but still didn't wake her up. Thinking of Mr. Yue's words, she walked to the medicine table and took out the Lunar Eclipse that she had asked for from Mr. Yue.
After thinking for a moment, he swallowed the medicine.
After taking the medicine, he felt severe pain in his chest and abdomen. His face instantly lost color and turned pale.
He tried his best to endure it, and black lines appeared on his wrists. Compared with the pain on his body, he felt like his heart was pierced by the thought of Yun Weishan's torture these days.
He reached out tremblingly to pick up the bowl of medicine and drank it all without hesitation.
Little did he know that out of sight, Mr. Yue nodded with a smile and really left.
In the silent moon palace, the sound of broken porcelain when the medicine bowl fell was particularly clear...
A painful groan echoed in the Moon Palace. Yun Weishan woke up at the sound, got up hurriedly, and ran outside.
I saw Gong Ziyu curled up in a ball...
"Master!"
Before Gong Ziyu fainted, he vaguely saw Yun Weishan's figure running towards him...
He murmured: "Ayun..."
