When Gong Ziyu returned to Yu Palace, Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian had already ended their conversation, and Yun Weishan could no longer speak. Blinking was the last thing she could do.

"Ayun!" Gong Ziyu squatted beside the bed with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Ayun, I don't have the ability, I couldn't get the antidote back for you."

Yun Weishan blinked: I've known for a long time that you are a waste.

"If you hadn't gone to the clinic to make medicine for me, you wouldn't have met Gong Lingshang. If you hadn't met him, you wouldn't have been poisoned by him. It's all my fault!" Gong Ziyu's tears fell down.

Yun Weishan blinked: Actually, I go to the clinic mainly for my own sake, but if you insist on taking the responsibility on yourself, that's fine.

"Ayun, Jin Fan, Jin Fan is dead! Just now, Gong Lingshang slashed his neck with a knife! He died to save me..." Gong Ziyu seemed very tired and sat directly on the edge of the bed.

Yun Weishan glared: Good fellow, I'm a good fellow! It's really unfortunate to follow you!

Gong Ziyu stared blankly at the beams: "My father and brother are dead, Jin Fan is dead, and you too... No wonder the emperors in the court all call themselves 'widows', it turns out it's because they are widows. What about me, is the only way to become a blade wielder to make myself a widow?"

Yun Weishan Dead Fish Eyes: Listen to what bullshit you are talking about!

"Master Zhiren, you still have me." Shangguan Qian, with tears in her eyes, arrived late, "I will always be with Master Zhiren."

As she spoke, she glanced at Yun Weishan, who was lying on the bed with bulging eyes and no breath: "I will love you doubly with the love of a sister."

Yun Weishan: ...He’s dead. Burn some paper for him.

Gong Ziyu turned his head mechanically and looked at Shangguan Qian.

Shangguan Qian took his hand and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "My sister is gone." Two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.

Gong Ziyu mechanically turned his head to look at Yun Weishan lying on the bed. Ah, he's dead.

He suddenly hugged Shangguan Qian into his arms, buried his head in her neck, and growled in grief.

Shangguan Qian patted his back and repeated over and over again: "I will accompany you, stay by your side..."

……

The news of Yun Weishan and Jin Fan's death soon spread throughout the palace. However, the two of them, one was a guard, the other was a bride-to-be, one was of low status, and the other could only be considered half a palace member at best, so they were not worthy of having white sky lanterns flying over the palace gate. If Yu Gong was willing, she could just bury them both in a low-key manner.

No one from the Shang, Jiao and Zheng palaces went to the Yu palace to express condolences, including Gong Zishang.

To be honest, Gong Zishang was sad. On the night Jin Fan died, she sat alone until dawn. The next day, she ate and studied weapons as usual... Life must go on after all.

Gong Zishang didn't know that outside her bedroom, there was a person who had been accompanying her all night without sleep.

Shangguan Qian, who had hugged Gong Ziyu and said "I will always be with you" the day before, went to Yang Mei to surrender the next day.

Yang Mei was lying on the rocking chair, twisting a fifth-order Rubik's Cube made of black iron in her hand: "Miss Shangguan, what a rare guest."

Shangguan Qian now more or less understood the young master's temperament, so she didn't dare to say any more nonsense and directly explained her identity as the Swordless Assassin, including that she was an orphan of the Gushan Sect and that she had poisoned Dianzhu.

"You are also very frank." Yang Mei said with a smile.

"Also?" Shangguan Qian's eyes flashed, "It seems that someone came to find Master Lingshang before me. Could it be that Wuming?"

"Why don't you guess who he is?"

"I can't say for sure, but I've been staying in my room doing nothing these days, and I've thought about this question and have some guesses." Shangguan Qian didn't dare to finish his words. "Wuming sneaked into the palace about twenty years ago. And the outsiders who entered the palace more than twenty years ago were only the then Blade Wielding Lady Lan, Lady Jiaogong Lady Ling, and Master Lingshang's mother Lady Wan, and of course the dowry attendants they brought in. But it is known that Wuming has a very high status in the palace, and Lady Lan and Lady Ling are already deceased, so the only thing left is..."

"My mother?" Yang Mei was both amused and confused. No way?

"Of course not." Shangguan Qian smiled bitterly. How could she dare to say that? "Madam Wan is the eldest daughter of Yaowang Valley. Who doesn't know that? I want to talk about Madam Wu Ji. She is the only one who meets the requirements."

"You are very smart." Yang Mei likes to talk to smart people. "She came here a few days ago, but her original intention was not to surrender to me. She wanted to trick us, but we easily saw through her trick. She had no choice but to tell us everything she knew. In this comparison, you are more sensible than her."

Shangguan Qian curled his lips: "I just want revenge."

Yang Mei looked at her steadily for two seconds: "Do you know that there is another orphan of Gushan Sect besides you?"

Shangguan Qian was shocked: "Who?"

"Gong Huanyu." Yang Mei started to twist the Rubik's Cube again. Regardless of whether this thing can exercise brain power or not, it is good for exercising hand strength.

Shangguan Qian frowned. For all these years she had no idea that there was someone else from the Gushan Sect who survived besides her. She had never expected that this person was actually the young master Gong Huanyu in front of the palace gate. This was too magical.

"He's much luckier than you. As soon as the Gushan Sect was wiped out, he was adopted by Gong Hongyu, who treated him as his own son all these years. But you were forced to join Wufeng, where you received inhumane training. Tsk!"

Shangguan Qian gritted her teeth and said, "... At least, I lived longer than him, but some people died at a young age." Damn! I was still angry. We were both orphans of Gushan Sect, but why was that bastard so lucky!

"It's a pity that Gong Huanyu is faking his death. He is now hiding in the palace ancestral hall. He has to rely on Ming Wuji to bring him meals every day." Yang Mei said with regret.

Thousands of words flashed through Shangguan Qian's mind, and finally they were summarized into one sentence: "He behaves like a rat in the gutter, so he is more suitable to stay in Wufeng than me." After complaining, he got down to business, "Why did he do this? Wait, if that's the case, then he killed Lao Zhiren?!"
