"In addition," Zhang Xueming felt that the facts in the palace were so absurd and ridiculous that she couldn't help laughing: "Madam Wu Ji's illness was treated by Elder Yue. The prescription was obviously his work. The pulse was also modified by acupuncture with golden needles to make it a common cold... Then tell me, did he know that Madam Wu Ji was a Wufeng assassin, and when did he know it?"

She looked at Gong Shangjiao and smiled meaningfully: "The Moon Palace behind your palace is really full of talents. I wonder if the Flower Palace and Snow Palace are also full of talents." She said jokingly: "If that's the case, Mr. Gong Er might as well take A Yuan away from the palace and start a new business. Maybe you can live a few more years and not be pissed off to death because the palace was changed into a Wufeng branch."

"Be careful with your words." Gong Shangjiao frowned and glared at her as a warning, but that was all he did.

He already knew that Zhang Xueming's mouth could make people go around in circles when it was sweet, but it could be very poisonous when it was venomous. Gong Shangjiao had heard a lot of similar words from her in the past two years, and he couldn't help being angry.

Thinking about the information Zhang Xueming had collected from the palace gate these days and the problems he had analyzed from it, and then thinking about the diary left by his father that he found in the secret room, he clasped the teacup that Gong Yuanzheng placed in front of him with his slender fingers, and lowered his eyes to hide the melancholy in his eyes.

"Don't talk about other things. Tell us what you have discovered now." Gong Shangjiao encouraged calmly, "We don't count by head count. We count each case as one. You can deduct it yourself. Even if you don't have evidence or it's just speculation, you can tell me what you have said. I won't ask where it came from."

He took a sip of the medicinal tea and frowned. The taste was a little light, with a hint of floral scent. A new formula?

He glanced up at the two teacups opposite him. The tea was slightly red and looked the same. Gong Yuanzheng and Zhang Xueming also drank it and didn't seem to think it tasted bland.

He took another sip and tasted it carefully. It was still very bland. Could it be that, as she said, staying up too late would dull one's sense of taste?

"The God of Wealth is so generous!" Zhang Xueming's eyes lit up. The God of Wealth had spoken, so she had to work hard: "There is something wrong with Gong Ziyu's personal guard Jin Fan. His strength is more than Lu Yu."

Even if Gong Shangjiao said that it was okay to guess, she was still cautious to only speculate and not guess, so as not to expose things that should not be exposed: “Mr. Gong Er knows that I can tell the depth of the other party’s internal strength by some details such as the other party’s breathing frequency without fighting with them.

Guard Jin Fu is the Green Jade Guard. I know his strength. I have also seen the Yellow Jade Guard of the elders and the Red Jade Guard Jin Yi, the old blade wielder.

With the criteria for judgment, let's look at Jin Fan again. When he appeared in the Blade Hall, compared with his state in front of the secret passage that night, at least half of his internal strength had been consumed by the drug, but the remaining internal strength was enough to rival that of the Yellow Jade Servant. Compared with the Red Jade Servant Jin Yi, what he lacks now is only time and experience. "

"I told you there's something wrong with him! No wonder I can never beat him. Even with only half of his internal energy left, he can still rival the elders' Yellow Jade Servant... He doesn't seem to be much older than Gong Ziyu, but he's actually Red Jade?"

Gong Yuanzheng was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand into the ink pool. "Interesting! The youngest Red Jade Maid in the history of the palace disguised as a Green Jade Maid, protecting the most famous playboy in the palace to go to brothels all day long? Brother, you have been busy for the palace all these years, and have been ambushed and killed countless times, but they didn't even say they would give you a Yellow Jade Maid. Instead, you are the one who spends your hard-earned money on brothels every day... Ridiculous!"

Gong Shangjiao's face was not looking good either. Old Zhiren was partial, the elders were biased, and the palace family rules were like waste paper in front of Yu Gong?

Seeing Zhang Xueming's puzzled expression, he explained, "In the palace, only the Sword Master, the Lord of a Palace, the Elders, and the Successor Young Master are qualified to have Jade-level personal guards around them. Among them, the Sword Master can have a Red Jade Guard, the Elder can have a Yellow Jade Guard, and the Lord of a Palace and the Successor Young Master can have a Green Jade Guard."

"When did Jin Fan appear next to Gong Ziyu?" Zhang Xueming became interested in gossip.

"Ten years ago." Gong Yuanzheng said firmly, "Not long after Madam Lan passed away, Jin Fan followed Gong Ziyu closely."

"It seems that the old swordsman originally wanted to make the swordsmanship the inheritance of Yugong." Zhang Xueming laughed, "If you have such great ambitions, why did you raise your son like that? At first I thought Gong Ziyu's incompetence and dissoluteness were just a disguise, and he was trying to play the pig to eat the tiger."

"Pretending to be a pig? He is a pig." Gong Yuanzheng took a new teacup and poured the medicinal tea again. "I heard that Jin Fan often waited for Gong Ziyu at the gate of Wanhua Tower. It was not uncommon for him to wait for a whole night. I thought they were ridiculous at the time, but I didn't expect it to be so ridiculous..."

"Wait a minute." Zhang Xueming perked up. "You mean, when Gong Ziyu stayed overnight at Wanhua Tower, Jin Fan was waiting outside the gate. He didn't even go to wait outside the purple-clothed girl's room?"

Gong Yuanzheng was shocked to realize that he had called his wife "Hualou" all the time. He lowered his head in shame and stammered, "I don't know the details. I just heard the guards and servants talking about it... I have never left the palace since I was a child, and I have never even been to the Old Dust Valley."

"It's okay. Whenever you want to go, I'll take you there. I guarantee that no one will notice that you've been out." Zhang Xueming smiled at him, and then said to Gong Shangjiao, "If what Ayuan said is true, then I have to go to Wanhua Tower tonight."

"What, Zhaozhao, you're going to a brothel?" Gong Yuanzheng looked at her in shock.

Gong Shangjiao's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "You mean?"

"Be prepared for the worst. Wanhua Tower may have been the enemy's lair for a long time." Zhang Xueming rubbed his fingertips and spoke faster: "I remember you told me before that there were a few years when you left Jiuchen Valley and you would be ambushed by Wufeng. I asserted at the time that there must be a Wufeng stronghold in Jiuchen Town. You also said that you asked someone to check but found nothing unusual, so you could only strengthen the town's vigilance.

Now look at this time, during the palace marriage selection, three assassins sneaked in. One was a discarded pawn, and the other two had a clear goal of obtaining intelligence.

Assuming that the assassins succeed in staying in the palace, how can we ensure that they will not be tempted by the stable life of luxury and be turned against the palace because of love between men and women?

They all have parasites in their bodies, so they must take antidotes regularly, and they can only exchange intelligence for antidotes. That means the person they are waiting to meet must be in the Old Dust Valley.

Even if Gong Ziyu is a playboy who has accomplished nothing and has no access to important palace affairs, it would be enough for others to get some information about the Gong family's temperament, hobbies, living habits, and past events from him.

If the personal guards were around, it might not be so easy to get the information. But the personal guards took the initiative to avoid suspicion, who knows how much of your information Gong Ziyu has revealed to his confidante of many years?

As the most accessible member of the palace family outside the palace gate, how could Wufeng let go of such a valuable big funnel, and a fool who was willing to spend a lot of money? Even if the purple-clothed girl had nothing to do with Wufeng at the beginning, Wufeng would make her his own.

If you want to get more information from Gong Ziyu, you have to ensure his safety, make sure he has fun and does not stop going to Wanhua Tower because of being offended by others. This is not something that just two people can do.

So what is the possibility that Wanhua Tower is not Wufeng’s stronghold?

How likely is it that the contact person waiting for the Wufeng brides to pass on the message is not hiding in Wanhua Tower?"
