Chapter 21 Cloud Feather 7
In Jiaogong's study, Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng, and Shangguan Qian drank tea and talked about what happened in the Elders' Council today.
Gong Shangjiao said, "Brother Yuanzheng should thoroughly investigate the servants of Zhenggong. What happened today is very strange. If it weren't for Qianqian, I'd probably have to work very hard to help you get out of this crime today!"
Gong Yuanzheng: "Brother, do you think that what happened today was intentionally framed by Gong Ziyu to hurt you?" Shangguan Qian listened, took a sip of tea and said: "No, Gong Ziyu doesn't have that intention!"
Gong Yuanzheng said: "That's because he's stupid!"
Gong Shangjiao: "Who does Qianqian think it is?"
Shangguan Qian: "The people behind this don't want you to be the blade, so they deliberately chose you not to take action at the palace gate. Yuanzheng's brother is underage, and Shang Gong, the Palace Master's daughter, is not qualified. In order to push Gong Ziyu to the top, who do you think is the biggest suspect?"
Gong Shangjiao pondered and said, "Madam Wu Ji!"
Shangguan Qian shook her head. "I don't think it's that simple! Check on Manager Jia's family..."
Gong Shangjiao asked Jin Fu to send someone to secretly monitor Madam Wu Ji, and to send another person to check on the family of Manager Jia.
Gong Ziyu returned to Yugong with a dejected look on his face, his steps heavy. He came to Yun Weishan, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and self-blame.
"Ayun, do you think I'm useless?" His voice was a little hoarse, as if carrying endless fatigue, "I can't even find the murderer who killed my father and brother..." He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Yun Weishan's eyes, for fear of seeing disappointment.
Yun Weishan looked at Gong Ziyu quietly. There was no blame in her eyes, but instead a firmness and tenderness.
She gently held Gong Ziyu's hand and comforted her, "Ziyu, don't think like that. Finding the murderer is not easy. It takes time and patience. You have tried your best, and I believe in you." Yun Weishan's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, giving Gong Ziyu a little comfort.
Gong Ziyu nodded slightly, looking at Yun Weishan gratefully. Her understanding and support warmed his heart. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "I won't give up. I will find the murderer and avenge my father and brother." His eyes gleamed with determination.
Yun Weishan smiled and encouraged, "I know you can do it. Let's work hard together!" Yun Weishan in Yu Palace was worried that he had not found the defense map since entering the palace. The one-month deadline was about to end, and the antidote for the half-moon fly was still missing. It seemed that he needed to go to Jiao Palace to find Shangguan Qian to think of a solution. However, after the last dowry incident, he was not sure that Shangguan Qian was Wufeng's assassin. It seemed that he needed to test it out a little more. Shangguan Qian remembered the poison that Wufeng used to control people, so he called the system: "Zero Zero One, exchange me for an antidote pill!"
System: "Okay, host, 10 points will be deducted, leaving 1480 points! Host, in fact, the Half Moon Fly is not a poison, but a low-quality tonic, the same as the Heart-Eroding Moon at the Palace Gate!"
Shangguan Qian said, "It's the same, but there's a drawback. If you endure it, your internal energy will disappear for a few hours every month! It's better to detoxify it." After Shangguan Qian took the detoxification pill, she felt her body gradually relax, and the discomfort caused by the half-moon fly instantly dissipated. She took a deep breath, feeling the renewed vitality within her body.
To increase her internal energy, Shangguan Qian unhesitatingly plucked a Lycoris radiata flower and chewed it. The unique aroma of the Lycoris radiata permeated her mouth, like a stream of pure water flowing into her body. As the medicinal power dissipated, she could feel her internal energy flowing through her meridians like a trickle, gradually converging into a raging torrent.
Her face gradually grew rosy, and her eyes brightened. She raised her arm slightly, and a powerful internal force gathered at her fingertips, ready to burst forth at any moment. At this moment, Shangguan Qian was filled with confidence and strength, ready to face the next plan against Wufeng.
