Yang Mei just watched Zheng Nanyiyi go crazy quietly. She had just enough energy to howl like this.

The whip is naturally poisonous.

There is no reason why the assassin without a front could walk through the dungeon at the palace gate and still be alive and kicking.

Zheng Nanyiyi's laughter stopped abruptly, and then she spat out a mouthful of blood. The poison on the whip had already entered her internal organs through her wounds.

"Don't worry, you won't die for the time being, you just feel uncomfortable." Yang Mei pulled his cloak closer. The dungeon was not a place with a pleasant temperature. He had been down here for a while, and there was no need to waste time here any more.

……

Yang Mei returned to the Shang Palace and as soon as he entered the room he saw his mother Madam Wan, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Langjiao. The three of them were sitting around the stove making milk tea and roasting oranges.

"Well, you guys secretly ate delicious food without waiting for me! I caught you!" Yang Mei said pretending to be dissatisfied.

Madam Wan glanced at him in reproach: "Hurry up and sit down, little ancestor, who dares to eat alone when you are not back!"

Yang Mei sat down opposite Ji Wan, and picked up the tongs to turn the orange on the stove over: "Jin Jue hasn't come back yet?"

"We found it strange that he wasn't with you!" Gong Langjiao said sourly, but he did not forget to peel roasted chestnuts for Yang Mei.

Yang Mei rubbed his head amusedly.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Are you bullying me because I can't free my hands? I'm your brother, how can you be so disrespectful!" Gong Langjiao yelled in dissatisfaction.

Gong Langjiao is the same age as Gong Yuanzheng, but he is a few months older than Gong Yuanzheng. However, he has a baby face and Yang Mei wants to rub it whenever she sees him. If Yang Mei is not allowed to rub his face, she will rub his head.

Gong Langjiao suddenly sat up in the middle of the night: No, I am his brother, right? !

Gong Yuanzheng gloated on the side: "Who made you 'Brother Lang'?" The little bell on his head jingled.

Gong Langjiao was almost pissed off by the two men on his left and right: "I! Am! Brother! Brother!"

Yang Mei and Gong Yuanzheng were silent for a second.

"If you say so, then it is so." After saying that, Yang Mei and Gong Yuanzheng tacitly stole the peeled chestnuts from Gong Langjiao's hand.

The roasted chestnuts were sweet and sticky, and Yang Mei ate them with great satisfaction: "Besides, if Yuan Zheng marries your brother, maybe you will have to call him sister-in-law!"

"..."Gong Langjiao felt a headache. What sin had he committed?

Jin Jue came in from outside, with a lot of snow stuck to his black cloak embroidered with gold thread, but they melted away in the blink of an eye.

"The Blade Master sent someone to ask Yuanzheng to go to the Blade Master Palace."

The Shang Palace did not allow servants from other palaces to come in. Even if Zhi Ren died suddenly, the only way to pass the message was at the gate of the Shang Palace, and let the servants of the Shang Palace convey it. Just now, when Jin Jue came back, he happened to meet the people sent by Zhi Ren at the gate, so he brought the message in by the way.

Gong Yuanzheng frowned fiercely upon hearing this: "What is this old guy going to do now? He's not going to make me work for nothing again, is he?" Just like the Izumo heavy lotus that he had carefully cultivated, which he had originally intended to leave to A Ling, but Old Zhiren shamelessly wanted to take it away, saying that Gong Huanyu's training had reached a critical period and he really needed it.

Old bitch! I'm annoyed just looking at him!

"It should be related to Gong Ziyu. He just went to the female guest courtyard and had a very pleasant chat with one of the bride candidates standing at the door. When he came out again, he was holding a bowl of Angelica dahurica tea in his hand and went straight to the Zhiren Hall." Jin Jue's tone was calm and straightforward.

……

With the intention of watching the fun, Yang Mei and Gong Langjiao also went to the Blade Hall together.

As soon as the three entered the room, Gong Hongyu, the sword bearer, said, "Zi Yu, the expedition has arrived. You can say whatever you want to say now. Don't waste time here!"

He was in such a hurry to speak, not for any other reason, but simply because he didn't want to see the three people who had just entered giving him inappropriate greetings. Every time he saw them, he felt like he would live a year less.

This time, why not just strangle it in the cradle and not let you salute?

"Today I discovered that there was something wrong with the Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea sent to the female guest courtyard. I suspect that Gong Yuanzheng changed the formula without authorization and tested the medicine on the bride-to-be!" Gong Ziyu said in a loud voice.

Gong Yuanzheng crossed his arms and looked at him, then looked at Gong Hongyu, and suddenly smiled: "I did change the formula."

Gong Ziyu felt that he was admitting what he had done, so he proudly turned his gaze to his old father, Gong Hongyu.

Gong Hongyu closed his eyes in despair. He felt helpless about giving birth to such a son. It would be better for him to give birth to a barbecued pork.

"Zi Yu, do you know what the effects of Baizhi Jincao Tea are?"

Gong Ziyu didn't understand, but still answered honestly: "To resist the poisonous miasma in the valley."

Gong Hongyu nodded: "Then have you noticed that the poisonous miasma in the valley is getting worse?"

Gong Ziyu looked confused. He looked at his father, at Gong Yuanzheng who was smiling wickedly, and then at Gong Huanyu who remained silent. He finally realized that things were not what he thought.

"You've been idle all day, never asking about the palace affairs, so you naturally wouldn't notice! Because the poison miasma is getting worse and worse, the old medicine is becoming less and less effective, so I asked Gong Yuanzheng to research a new formula! You said he acted on his own, do you think that all the children of the Gong family are like you, who likes to act smart and act first and report later?!"

Gong Ziyu pursed her lips and stared at the ground, looking stubborn and unconvinced.

As the sword wielder of the palace gate, Gong Hongyu admitted that he and the elders had always been partial to Yu Gong, but his son was really a hopeless case and their partiality did not receive any reward at all.

He continued in a heavy tone, "How dare you come to me to complain about someone else's behavior? I haven't even settled the score with you for letting the bride-to-be go without your permission last night!"

Gong Ziyu quickly glanced at Gong Huanyu again, and then said: "The young master and I discussed using the mechanism in the secret passage to lure out the assassin..."

Gong Hongyu waved his hand suddenly to interrupt him: "I didn't expect you to learn to lie! How could the young master be as stupid as you? You think you are smart and want to drag the young master down with you!"

"Zhi Ren didn't tell the whole story. When Master Yu brought the bride out of the dungeon, the excuse he used was 'sending it to Master Zheng for drug testing'. That's fine, but Master Yu and his guards fought against Yuan Zheng with swords, and every move was merciless. I saw it with my own eyes." Yang Mei began to "bombard" Gong Ziyu, "I thought that as the son of Zhi Ren, he should be able to distinguish right from wrong. I also thought that as a guard trained by the Council of Elders, Jin Fan would be able to tell who are the enemies.

But the fact is, I overestimated them. Gong Ziyu can't tell right from wrong, and Jin Fan can't tell who is the enemy. "

Gong Hongyu was speechless, with anger and annoyance in his eyes.

"Gong Lingshang!" Gong Ziyu didn't know what he should say in rebuttal, but he just yelled first.

"Zi Yu, shut up!" Gong Hongyu scolded, "From the moment I said I wanted to kill the bride, this was already a trap. Huanyu and I had discussed this long ago!"

Gong Ziyu couldn't believe it and was dumbfounded.

"So I was the only one who didn't know this was a setup and still foolishly wanted to be a hero!" Gong Ziyu choked up a little.

"I'll tell you in advance, with your personality, what can you hide? You're incapable of accomplishing anything, and you're always capable of causing trouble!" Gong Hongyu was very disappointed with his friend.

"Don't you trust me so much?!" Gong Ziyu's eyes were red, "In your heart, is it that Gong Lingshang, Gong Yuanzheng...all of them are better than me, and I am the only one who is useless?!"

Gong Hongyu stood up from his seat, holding up his robe sleeves and walked down the stairs in a few quick steps: "Look at yourself, you are not doing your job all day long, and you only know how to run to Wanhua Tower. From inside to outside, from beginning to end, how can you be trusted by me? How can you compare with Ling Shang and Yuan Zheng!"

Gong Hongyu was so angry that his beard was trembling, but he still didn't think of punishing Gong Ziyu. After a few breaths, he sighed and said, "Go back, go back to Yu Palace and reflect on your mistakes. You are not young anymore, you'd better think it over carefully. If you want to continue to be an idle useless person, there is no need for you to stay in the Gong family!"

"I don't really want to stay in the Gong family!" Gong Ziyu yelled and was about to throw the bowl of Angelica dahurica and golden grass tea to the ground.

As he had expected, he should smash the bowl of damn Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea to the ground, then throw his cloak around and walk away without looking back.

But imagination is rich and reality is cruel.

As soon as he raised his hand holding the bowl, someone grabbed his wrist tightly.

Turning around, it was Gonglangjiao.

"Brother Yuanzheng worked so hard to develop the Angelica Golden Herb Tea, which is an essential life-saving medicine for all the women in the palace. But you threw it away like a worn-out shoe. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
