Chapter 263 Gong Yuanzheng 50
The cicada grass can induce a state of suspended animation, rendering the person unable to move. To escape, one needs assistance from others.
Gong Yuanzheng was enlightened: "Lady Wuji is the one who stole Gong Huanyu from the coffin!"
“Hmm.” Qingyue nodded: “Wuming has taken care of Gong Huanyu and Gong Ziyu in Yu Palace for many years. It’s normal for him to have some feelings for Gong Huanyu, or perhaps the two of them have reached a cooperation agreement.”
"Otherwise, who else in the palace would help Gong Huanyu? The only stewards left in the Yu Palace are Gong Ziyu and Wuming."
Let alone the lowly henchmen, the guards patrolling the front mountain were simply not enough, let alone the ability to distract several guards, and even less capable of getting the person out at the critical moment of entering the tomb.
If he truly possessed such skill, he should be a Yellow Jade Guard or even a Red Jade Guard, but these two ranks of guards are extremely rare and each has their own assigned area.
Gong Ziyu remembered that when he discovered his brother and father's deaths, his aunt was in a very strange state, but he was too saddened and wanted to catch the murderer, so he overlooked it.
Looking back now, my aunt really was someone who helped my brother, and she truly was an anonymous figure...
Qingyue: "By the way, Shangguan Qian is also a Wufeng assassin, did you all know that?"
Gong Yuanzheng nodded: "I know. When we captured Yun Weishan, we answered her question. She told us."
Gong Yuanzheng briefly explained the story of Yunweishan.
It turned out to be the case.
She thought that Wu Feng's integrity was so low that he would talk about anything if he was caught and tortured.
It's no wonder Yun Weishan would turn against her since her close sister was involved.
Hmm, since you've already captured Yun Weishan, why keep Shangguan Qian out in the open? Shangguan Qian is unpredictable and difficult to control. Yun Weishan would obviously be a better partner.
Wouldn't it be better to eliminate Shangguan Qian, who knows that Yun Weishan has been arrested, and silence the other potential brides who know? We could also send people to monitor them before things are over and use Yun Weishan to spread false information.
Why does Gong Shangjiao act so unpredictably? Is he really that confident in himself?
"And when did you find out they were spies?" Gong Shangjiao asked immediately afterward.
Judging from Qingyue's words, Gong Yuanzheng did not tell her this, so how did she find out?
Qingyue: "It was discovered on the first day I entered the palace, when I was imprisoned in the water dungeon."
"Aside from the difficulty of entering your palace, the guards inside are no different from good-for-nothings."
Everyone: "..."
That's a brilliant mind!
They only found out after arresting one person after another.
As expected of people from the imperial court, they had eight guards and a large tiger placed behind them without them noticing at all.
If Qingyue hadn't exposed them, they probably would never have known that someone had infiltrated their palace, or even that they had discovered the secrets of their palace and returned safely without them noticing.
Gong Yuanzheng held Qing Yue's wrist, his fingertips moved slightly, and her pulse was strong and vigorous.
“What’s wrong with your body? I’ve taken your pulse, and your body has always been very weak.”
Gong Yuanzheng muttered under his breath, "His pulse is as strong as an ox."
"Acupressure," Qingyue demonstrated in front of them. "Then try taking their pulse."
Gong Yuanzheng held her wrist: "You've really changed..."
"Big liar!!!"
Qingyue touched his little face: "I won't lie to you anymore."
"you said."
If she lies to him again, he... he won't talk to her for three days... no, not even a day... not even half a day!
Isn't half a day too much?
"Yeah, that's what I said."
He's really easy to please.
Gong Shangjiao spoke up: "Elders, Gong Ziyu is the only remaining bloodline of the Feather Palace. I will not do anything to him, but I can no longer approve of him as the Blade Master, even if he passes the Three Realms Trial in a few months."
“Yes, I don’t agree.” Gong Yuanzheng stood up.
Gong Ziyu's eyes were lifeless: "I can no longer bear the responsibility of wielding the blade."
The grip on the blade is too heavy, far too heavy.
Elder Hua and Elder Xue exchanged a glance. They also felt that Gong Ziyu was unsuitable, regardless of what his father had done or what Gong Ziyu was doing now.
Not to mention that the wife of the expeditionary general is the current princess. If Gong Ziyu continues to hold the position, the palace gates may fall apart.
"In that case, Shangjiao, may you succeed to the throne?"
Gong Shangjiao nodded.
In front of everyone, these are the seats for the successor palace master or even elders. They are getting old, and it's time to hand them over to the younger generation.
Now that you know, you know; there are no outsiders left.
Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng, and Gong Zishang then realized why Gong Ziyu's succession was like this. No wonder it couldn't be delayed, because the tattoo would disappear upon death.
Gong Yuanzheng snorted coldly. He had been wondering why Gong Ziyu was allowed to succeed him. It turned out that he had memorized the disappeared patterns.
Qingyue: "I'd like to see Wuliang Liuhuo, is that alright?"
This was the purpose of her visit to the palace gate.
Because she is royalty, and previous royalty knew some of the unspoken rules, it wouldn't hurt to repeat them again.
Snow Child: "The reason why the back mountain is called the back mountain is to protect the Boundless Flowing Fire."
"It was precisely the power of the Boundless Flowing Fire that brought miasma and unknown dangers to the palace gates."
Qingyue frowned: "Unknown danger?"
Elder Xue's expression was somber: "It brought a monster..."
"A monster?" Gong Yuanzheng had several question marks popping into his head.
Elder Hua: "You'll know once the tattoos are done."
One elder removed Gong Ziyu's tattoo, while the other tattooed Gong Shangjiao.
Gong Ziyu's tears flowed silently.
Gong Shangjiao reminded him: "Gong Ziyu, you still have to complete the Three Realms Trial. You must support Yu Palace. You are also a member of the Gong Clan. Don't forget that."
"I understand, don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill my duties as the Palace Master of Yu Palace," Gong Ziyu said, her voice choked with emotion.
After the tattoo is finished.
The group headed towards the Flower Palace, while eight guards remained at the Snow Palace.
Elder Hua took out a stone shard from the secret passage: "This is Boundless Flowing Fire."
Qingyue took it and looked closely. It was meteorite iron from outer space. How could it be this...?
A hand brushed across the surface of the boundless flowing fire, where traces of residual power remained... nuclear radiation.
"Take me to where the trouble it causes is."
The people at the palace gate were stunned. She actually knew about the Boundless Flowing Fire and the disaster as well.
They stopped, then took another step, heading deeper into the area.
The roar of a monster could be heard coming from inside.
"Ho ho ho..."
The younger princes grimaced at the sound, no wonder they were called monsters.
Before being led to the cage where the monster was imprisoned.
It was a prison built on an entire mountain, impregnable, and the Boundless Flowing Fire was the key to opening this stone gate.
"Now everyone knows." Elder Xue sighed, "These monsters were actually the clansmen from the back mountain. When the Boundless Flowing Fire descended, they were mutated and became the monsters they are now."
Everyone glanced at it curiously, then turned away – it was terrifying.
