He was already mentally prepared that the unsharp female assassin would stay at the palace gates at all costs.

He didn't expect the other party to plan so quickly, and their acting skills seemed quite good.

"Has something happened to the Yun family?"

Following Yun Weishan's plan, Gong Ziyu asked questions, eager to know how the play would proceed.

“Zhi Ren, supporting a family is too difficult. My mother lost my unborn brother back then. I am the only daughter of the Yun family, but I can't help my mother much.”

If the young master were still alive, the clansmen would know my current identity and certainly wouldn't have made things difficult for my mother.

But now everything is gone. When I return to the Yun family in a few days, I don't even know if my mother will be kicked out of that house. I can no longer be her support..."

Yun Weishan lowered her head and began to cry softly. She looked very sad, with a sense of despair and helplessness.

Gong Ziyu read the contents written inside the river lantern, which were similar to what Yun Weishan had described. In it, Yun Weishan also expressed her longing for her father who had died young.

From Gong Ziyu's perspective, the subtext of this scene is that after Yun Weishan leaves the palace, the mother and daughter will suffer a terrible fate.

Given his past chivalrous nature, he will most likely try to help the person in front of him.

Therefore, Gong Ziyu followed the play and laid out a bait.

“Your situation is indeed quite difficult. If my brother were still alive, you wouldn’t be in this predicament.”

"Miss Yun, I do have a way to help you, but I don't know if you'd be willing?"

Yun Weishan quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then revealed a look of fear and unease.

"What does Zhi Ren want me to do?"

Gong Ziyu smiled instantly.

"The truth behind my father and brother's deaths has not yet been found out, but the female assassin without a blade left some clues."

While she was being tortured, she vaguely revealed the name Shangguan Qian. I originally intended to arrest Shangguan Qian for interrogation.

Unfortunately, only one person heard the female assassin say the name Shangguan Qian at the time, and now that there is insufficient evidence, I don't want to alert her.

"If Miss Yun can find evidence that Shangguan Qian is guilty, I, as the Palace Guardian, can guarantee the Yun family's lifelong wealth and honor."

Yunweishan's heart was instantly filled with turbulent waves!

She and Shangguan Qian were both at odds and cooperating with each other; they were practically in the same boat.

She had thought that today's scene would be enough to make Gong Ziyu show her mercy, but she never expected that Gong Ziyu would instead cause her a huge problem.

She couldn't even refuse at that moment.

But if they really make a move against Shangguan Qian, given her abilities, she will definitely be dragged down with them.

At this moment, Yun Weishan had no other choice.

"How could this be? Miss Shangguan is so well-educated and courteous, could there be a mistake?"

Gong Ziyu smiled faintly.

He suddenly found acting quite interesting.

If he could let the female assassins without a blade start fighting amongst themselves and create chaos, he would at least feel a little better.

"If Wu Feng can send out one female assassin, why can't he send out a second one? I also hope that Miss Shangguan was framed."

Upon hearing this, Yun Weishan dared not evade the question any longer, and she forced herself to speak.

"Rest assured, Zhi Ren, if I find any clues, I will inform you immediately."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu immediately gave the orders.

"Jin Fan, you personally escort Miss Yun back."

Tang Yu witnessed this spectacle from a short distance away.

She didn't wander around during the day; she just collected data within the valley where she could move around.

You know what, even these ordinary flowers and plants have mutated. Xiaoqi was very excited when she was collecting data.

This is valuable data.

So Tang Yu spent the whole day wandering around aimlessly. She didn't specifically go to see Gong Ziyu, but unexpectedly, the two of them were still together.

"Yu Yu, are you hungry? Do you want to come to my yard for a meal?"

Gong Ziyu was very excited to see Tang Yu and stepped forward to hold Tang Yu's hand.

"Come on, I discovered a little secret today. Let's talk about it in your yard."

Not long after the two returned to the courtyard, Gong Ziyu instructed the kitchen staff to start preparing the meal.

Because it is the period of mourning, we are now abstaining from meat and fish.

However, the vegetarian dishes at the palace gate were quite good.

The two didn't rush to share their secrets, but instead enjoyed a warm meal together.

After finishing their meal, Jin Fan returned.

He glanced at Tang Yu several times, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, before Gong Ziyu, holding Tang Yu's hand, spoke directly.

“Yu Yu will be my future wife. She doesn’t need to hide at this time. I have no secrets to hide from her.”

Jin Fan sighed.

Sometimes, many people think that Gong Ziyu is irresponsible and impulsive.

But sometimes Jin Fan feels that it is precisely because he has such a sincere heart that he is able to win the hearts of others.

"After I escorted Yun Weishan to the women's courtyard, I instructed Yun Weishan to lure Shangguan Qian out, as you had said."

Then, I searched Shangguan Qian's room thoroughly, leaving enough traces for her to discover.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu burst out laughing.

"You really want to see these two fight amongst themselves?"

“Of course, do you want the two female assassins without blades to cooperate? At this time, it is more beneficial for the palace to let them fight each other.”

The passing of his father and brother seemed to have made Gong Ziyu grow up instantly.

Things I was unwilling to understand or learn before, I seem to understand now.

Tang Yu looked at Jin Fan at that moment.

"I learned about the ranks of palace guards today. There are green jade, yellow jade, and red jade, right?"

Jin Fan suddenly clenched his fists nervously, while Gong Ziyu still couldn't understand the subtle tension between the two.

"Here's what happened. Is there a problem with any of the guards?"

Tang Yu gently took Gong Ziyu's hand.

“No one is wrong, but Jin Fan is definitely not just Green Jade Guard. Maybe you can ask him and calmly find out who is protecting you.”

After saying this, Tang Yu stood up and walked outside with a smile.

She discovered several secrets today, but now she wants Gong Ziyu to know more about her father.

Chapter 9 Cloud Feathers 9

At this point, Jin Fan no longer concealed anything.

He was originally the youngest Red Jade Guard in the history of the palace.

To protect his son, Gong Ziyu's father demoted Jin Fan to the rank of Green Jade Guard and then kept him by Gong Ziyu's side.

Many times, Gong Ziyu thought that his father didn't like him, and sometimes he felt like he was a good-for-nothing.

But sometimes, he also hoped that his father could be proud of him.

Knowing the truth at this moment, Gong Ziyu suddenly wanted to be alone.

He thought of many things from his childhood.

He has always been a child who worries his parents.

After Tang Yu returned indoors, Gong Ziyu's eyes were slightly red.

"Actually, I don't agree with suppressive education. Parents love their children, but that doesn't mean their way of loving their children is always right."

However, I don't want you to feel that your father dislikes you.

Gong Ziyu didn't know what to say; he deeply regretted arguing with his father that day.

In many situations, he could have done better.

But by the time he understood this, he had already missed his chance.

What kind of people are Yu Yu's parents?

This question made Tang Yu's eyes complicated. She knelt down in front of Gong Ziyu, trying hard to recall the traces left by her parents in that home.

"My father was a talented scholar who could compose poems and paint. He was handsome and very popular with women, but all he wanted to do was pass the imperial examinations."

Therefore, he married the daughter of a wealthy family in town, hoping that the Yuan family would help him enter officialdom.

He was probably quite shrewd and resourceful, but he was just unlucky. He caught a cold and died shortly after passing the imperial examinations. I wasn't even born yet at that time.

Before he died, he must have thought of me, perhaps wishing I were a boy. What a pity.

Gong Ziyu was shocked after hearing this, and he felt that he should not have explored this issue.

This must be something that saddens Yu Yu.

"sorry, I do not know."

Gong Ziyu subconsciously apologized, his sadness suddenly seeming a bit affected.

Tang Yu smiled gently.

"Why apologize? You're supposed to get to know me eventually. Do you expect me to find out how I grew up from other people?"

These words made Gong Ziyu tighten his grip on Tang Yu's hand.

"I will treat you well from now on."
