After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Shangguan Qian's painstaking efforts were soon rewarded, as Gong Ziyu offered to take her out of the palace to attend the Lantern Festival held in Jiuchen Valley.

It would be unacceptable if we miss such a good opportunity.

Shangguan Qian found an opportunity to go to Wanhua Tower, and met Jackdaw Qi in the room of the courtesan Ziyi. He successfully handed over the topographic map of the mountains in front and behind the palace gate, as well as the sentry distribution map to her.

Jackdaw Qi took it anxiously, flipped through it and laughed, "You really didn't disappoint me! With these two pictures, Wufeng will soon send a large group of troops over, and it will be just a matter of time before we capture the palace gate!"

Shangguan Qian just smiled and said nothing.

Situ Hong, who was brewing tea nearby, asked another question: "Gong Ziyu is now a blade holder. Can the other young masters accept this?"

"How is that possible? I was just about to say this." Shangguan Qian responded, "The other young masters of the palace did not agree to let Gong Ziyu inherit the position of the Blade Master, and they used the fact that Gong Ziyu did not pass the Three Realms Trial as an excuse, so Gong Ziyu was forced to pass the Three Realms Trial within three months.

As a result, just one day after entering the back mountain, Elder Yue was murdered in the front mountain, and the murderer was none other than Wuming from our Wufeng. "

Shangguan Qian paused here. She wanted to let the two people digest the information while she drank a cup of tea first.

Situ Hong and Jackdaw Qi looked at each other. Wuming killed Elder Yue? Wufeng didn't give her such an order, so she wanted to do it herself?

"This Wuming, have you found out who he is?" Jackdaw Qi asked Shangguan Qian.

Shangguan Qian nodded: "It was the late old Zhiren's concubine Ming Wu Ji. As for why she killed Elder Yue, I don't know. She doesn't know that I am Wu Feng's man yet."

Situ Hong understood: "It seems that a lot of things have happened."

"That's right. It can be said that things happened one after another." Shangguan Qian smiled bitterly. "It's hard to explain in a few words. I can't stay here for too long, otherwise I'm afraid Gong Ziyu will come looking for me. In short, Yun Weishan died of poisoning, and Gong Ziyu's green jade guard Jin Fan was also killed on the same day. The person who caused their deaths was Gong Lingshang, the daughter of the Shang Palace. The intensity of the internal fighting in the palace has basically reached its peak."

Situ Hong couldn't sympathize with Shangguan Qian's annoyance, but laughed: "It seems that Jackdaw Qi is right, now is the best time to attack the palace gate in one fell swoop!"

……

Gong Ziyu had been living a life of drunkenness and dreaming for the past few days, but he gradually returned to normal in the past two days with Shangguan Qian's company. He thought he had "passed through thousands of mountains and rivers", but the next day after he and Shangguan Qian watched the lantern festival, he received bad news again.

His beloved aunt, Madam Wu Ji, was blinded and mute by an assassin in the ancestral hall, and she collapsed on the bed.

His elder brother who had died long ago somehow came back to life, and the guards who went to the ancestral hall to rescue Madam Wu Ji found a weak Gong Huanyu in the dark room of the ancestral hall.

Strictly speaking, the latter is actually good news.

Gong Ziyu walked very fast all the way and took Shangguan Qian to the Elders' Hall. Gong Huanyu was temporarily placed in the Elders' Hall.

He stopped at the door of the room. Not far from him, lying on a couch was Gong Huanyu. The former Young Master Yue, now Elder Yue, was checking his pulse.

Yang Mei, Gong Shangjiao, Gong Langjiao, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Zishang were all standing aside with their arms folded and watching.

Hearing the footsteps, Elder Yue withdrew his hand from taking Gong Huanyu's pulse, and Gong Huanyu struggled to half-sit up and looked towards the door.

They looked at each other with great excitement.

"Zi Yu." Gong Huanyu called out excitedly but weakly.

"Brother!" Gong Ziyu pouted and was about to cry, "Brother!"

Yang Mei and Shangguan Qian behind Gong Ziyu looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

It seems like it won’t be long before Wu Feng comes knocking on the door.

Although Gong Huanyu has "come back from the dead", he is now so weak that he looks like he will die at any time.

Gong Ziyu was extremely anxious, but he was not a doctor and didn't know how to help his brother recover.

"He was found in the dark room of the ancestral hall, where he had been imprisoned before." Elder Hua sighed.

Elder Xue continued, "Huan Yu was found with wounds all over his body, hungry and weak, and he just woke up. Elder Yue, you just checked his pulse, how is his health?"

Elder Yue shook his head sadly: "The people who imprisoned him destroyed all his martial arts skills."

Gong Ziyu was filled with hatred: "Brother! Who on earth could be so cruel to you?"

Gong Huanyu's expression was numb: "It's Wuming."

Ming Wuji, the half-dead girl next door:...You are such a fucking bastard!

"Wuming killed Elder Yue first. Oh no, now it seems that he first made Gong Huanyu appear dead and imprisoned him, and then killed Elder Yue." Gong Yuanzheng tilted his head. "I still remember the night when Lao Zhiren and Gong Huanyu died, I proposed to do an autopsy, but someone tried to stop me. Now think about it, if I had done the autopsy, Gong Huanyu might not have suffered for so long."

"This is what we call fate. It's also the fault of the former young master who lacked some luck." Yang Mei added indifferently.

Gong Ziyu looked at Gong Huanyu in despair: "Brother, it was me who harmed you. It was me who didn't let Gong Yuanzheng do the autopsy. It was my fault. It was me..."

Shangguan Qian hurried forward to comfort her, she was already familiar with this job.

"Didn't they say that Madam Wu Ji was also seriously injured?" Gong Langjiao held back a yawn, "Let's go. The two brothers are expressing their love to each other. What's the point of us standing here?"

The three elders also thought that what he said made sense, so everyone filed out of the room and turned to the next room.

Compared to the bustling Gong Huanyu room, Ming Wuji's room was much quieter. Besides her, there was only one guard in the room.

Gong Zishang was the only woman in the group, so it was natural for her to sit beside Ming Wu Ji's bed.

"Since the death of Old Zhiren, Madam Wu Ji often went to the ancestral hall to pay homage. Unexpectedly, she would run into Wuming this time." Gong Zishang sighed and said, "Fortunately, Madam Wu Ji brought the flare I gave her before, so the guards were able to rescue her in time."

Yang Mei looked at Gong Zishang strangely. This woman was a little strange. Not only did she come to the right path, but she also became smarter. If her soul had not changed, he would have suspected that there was another person in this body.

He didn't want to find out why Gong Zishang had become what he was now, anyway, it was a change for the better. In this way, at least he didn't have to worry about a traitor appearing in the Shang Palace.
