Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

There is no rush to play the long game of catching big fish. When there was a temple fair in the town, Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng disguised themselves and quietly followed Gong Ziyu and Yun Weishan out of the palace.

Firstly, it was to protect the safety of Gong Ziyu and Yun Weishan, and secondly, they also wanted to take this opportunity to take Jiang Xinxin out for a walk to enhance their relationship.

The last time Gong Ziyu took Yun Weishan out was at night, and this time the temple fair was held during the day, so Gong Ziyu and Yun Weishan went out during the day. So the information Yun Weishan brought to Wufeng this time was the secret passage they used to enter and exit the front mountain, as well as the secret passage in the back mountain that Gong Ziyu walked through when he participated in the Three Domain Trial.

As for Shangguan Qian, he provided the information that Gong Shangjiao would lose all his martial arts skills for two hours every month.

Gong Shangjiao did increase his internal strength because he personally took the Heart-Eating Moon during the Three Realms Trial, but this Heart-Eating Moon is actually a high-end version of the Half Moon Fly. Although both are essentially strong tonics that can increase internal strength, they both have significant flaws.

It was also because of the fact that Gong Shangjiao took the Heart-Eating Moon himself when he passed the Three Realms Trial that the Council of Elders and the future heirs of the Three Palaces in the Back Mountain became more convinced of Gong Shangjiao. After all, Gong Shangjiao took the "poison" himself without hesitation, unlike any of his predecessors who had it taken by their guards.

It was based on this point that Gong Ziyu and Gong Zishang were completely convinced by Gong Shangjiao.

The last time Yun Weishan entered Wanhua Tower, it was after Wu Feng had led Gong Ziyu and Jin Fan away in advance. This time, Gong Ziyu personally took Yun Weishan to find Ziyi. As for the excuse, it was just that Gong Ziyu himself wanted to go down the mountain to play, and Yun Weishan encouraged him to take her with him.

As for why he wanted to find Zi Yi, it was very simple. Yun Weishan wanted to ask Zi Yi about Gong Ziyu's preferences. No matter whether Wu Feng's people believed it or not, Gong Ziyu didn't doubt this excuse.

Before leaving, Gong Ziyu protested, but even Gong Zishang advised him insincerely: "Ah, don't worry about these details. Just think about it. Situ Hong, who is a ghost, has been in contact with you for so long in the identity of Ziyi, and has never made a move on you. You should know that you are not a threat to them at all."

Gong Yuanzheng laughed so hard that he fell down on the spot without giving any face. Even Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan turned their heads away and didn't look at Gong Ziyu. Jin Fan looked up at the sky and down at the earth but didn't look at him. Only Gong Shangjiao looked at him with disdain and disappointment.

However, although Gong Ziyu was briefly autistic, he never faltered when it came time to do things, and he easily deceived Zi Yi and Jackdaw Si and Jackdaw Qi, who were hiding in Zi Yi's room to discuss things.

The two jackdaws got the information passed by Yun Weishan, and threatened Yun Weishan with both offensive and defensive tactics before he reluctantly took out the "antidote". Yun Weishan also showed some grievance, resentment and patience at the right time, and the two jackdaws and Zi Yi didn't notice anything.

In order to make the two Jackdaws and Zi Yi trust her completely, she even asked Jackdaw Si separately whether his promise to set her free completely after the mission was completed still counted.

As expected, Yun Weishan and Gong Ziyu's actions this time allowed the palace to find out a lot of information about Wu Feng.

Wufeng did not just push his base to the palace gate, he even had bases in any town within a hundred miles of the palace gate. While Gong Shangjiao was trembling with fear, he also felt that now was a good opportunity to settle accounts with Wufeng once and for all. If it was a little later, the palace gate might not have any ally left.

Gong Ziyu was also horrified when he received such news.

If everyone had previously teased him that Situ Hong looked down on him and had never attacked him even though they knew he had become a Blade Master, then the fact that Wu Feng had now surrounded the palace gates had completely thrown him off guard.

Even though Gong Yuanzheng had a slightly changed opinion of Gong Ziyu, he was still merciless when he needed to mock her: "That's right, you useless person have only cared about your own mood since you were a child. Even your biological mother was always unhappy in the palace and finally died of depression, but you only remember that Madam Lan didn't care about you, which made you feel wronged."

This really hits the nail on the head. This is why Jiang Xinxin can't stand Gong Ziyu.

Gong Ziyu had nothing to say about this. Gong Zishang originally wanted to say something to help Gong Ziyu out, but when she thought of the rumors about Gong Ziyu's background in the palace over the years, as a woman, she was speechless.

But Gong Yuanzheng continued, "Speaking of Madam Lan, there has been a rumor in the palace for years that she had a lover before she married into the palace, and she did not come to the palace to choose a husband voluntarily, so she was depressed all year round, and even doubted your origin, Gong Ziyu."

Jiang Xinxin frowned and rebuked Gong Yuanzheng, "Women are weak, don't attack a woman in these places!"

Gong Shangjiao also frowned and said, "These words are nothing but nonsense. Brother Yuanzheng, just listen to them, but why do you say them in such an occasion?"

Gong Zishang and Gong Ziyu, the parties involved, had actually heard a lot of rumors a long time ago. They even doubted the truth of the rumors because the former Blade Master had never spoken up to clarify these rumors for Madam Lan.

Jiang Xinxin sighed again, "It seems that women who come to the palace to choose a husband must be examined by doctors at the beginning, and the maids are also there. How can they tell whether a woman is pregnant or not after two checks?"

"Besides, the palace is now facing a life-and-death situation. Are you sure you want to start an internal conflict at this time?!"

Gong Shangjiao was the first to stand up and apologize to Gong Ziyu: "I'm sorry Gong Ziyu, today it's my fault as an elder brother that I failed to take good care of my younger brother Yuanzheng."

Gong Yuanzheng also lowered his head and said hesitantly: "I shouldn't have said those things to you. I never doubted your background. I just heard it from others..."

Gong Zishang was shocked. He didn't expect that the brothers Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng would actually apologize. However, Gong Ziyu himself didn't want to endure this matter any longer. He gritted his teeth and said to Gong Yuanzheng: "You Zhenggong are unparalleled in medicine. You should be able to find out whether I was born prematurely that year. Now please ask the doctors to come over and compare my mother's medical records with my medical records to see if there is any doubt about my bloodline!"

Gong Shangjiao certainly couldn't allow Gong Yuanzheng to do this. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by Jiang Xinxin: "It is indeed inappropriate for Gong Ziyu to bear such a reputation over the years. Now that we have come to this point today, let's take this opportunity to clear those stigmas for Madam Lan and Gong Ziyu."

Gong Shangjiao wanted to ask why Jiang Xinxin insisted that Gong Ziyu and Madam Lan were innocent without knowing anything, but seeing that Gong Ziyu was still determined, he nodded and agreed.

Sure enough, Madam Lan's medical records from that year, Gong Ziyu's medical records since childhood and Gong Ziyu's current physical condition all confirmed that Madam Lan had indeed given birth prematurely, and Gong Ziyu's pulse records and Madam Lan's pulse records also clearly recorded the fact that Gong Ziyu had given birth prematurely. Even Gong Ziyu's current pulse could confirm that he had indeed been weak and sickly due to premature birth, but now he had been taken care of like a normal person with the help of medicine.

In this way, Gong Shangjiao completely cleared the stigma for Gong Ziyu and Madam Lan, and issued an order to the entire palace that no one would talk about Gong Ziyu's life experience anymore.
