Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

The Jiao Palace was brightly lit today, a rare occasion. Gong Shangjiao's hard and cold face seemed to soften under the warm yellow light of the tea room.

Hearing Zhang Xueming's words, he didn't even raise his eyebrows: "Okay."

Zhang Xueming was stunned. He looked him up and down, then glanced at Gong Yuanzheng, who was laughing with his eyes downcast. He rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Mr. Gong Er, am I missing something?"

"...Problem." Gong Shangjiao almost couldn't help but throw the teacup in his hand over, "If you don't want it, don't take it. I'll take more from you..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gong Er, I was wrong." Zhang Xueming quickly interrupted him and said, "Next, A Yuan will explain to you in detail the details of our actions tonight."

Zhang Xueming tapped the armrest with his fingers: "Ayuan, it's your turn to speak."

Gong Yuanzheng suppressed his laughter and told Gong Shangjiao what happened. He couldn't help but sigh, "Thanks to Zhao Zhao's thorough preparation, tonight's operation went as smoothly as if it were a dream. We only let the other party steal a special insect repellent jade pendant, but we took down Wanhua Tower without much effort. The casualties were all from the other side."

"Are all the guests who go to Wanhua Tower infected with poisonous insects by that man in purple?" Gong Shangjiao's focus was still as special as ever.

"Yes, fortunately Zhao Zhao had foresight and made a powerful medicine to drive out and kill the Gu worms. Those people were lucky. Zhao Zhao said that it should be that the Gu woman Zi Yi who put the Gu on them came into contact with the jade pendant first, because the Gu worms could not attack back and could not activate the Gu worms in those people's bodies to make them buried with her. Moreover, the Gu she put on those people was not the kind of mother-child Gu, where the mother Gu dies and the child Gu must die as well. It is estimated that the eggs of some Gu worms were mixed in wine and food for people to eat. The Gu woman could control them if she encountered them, but it would be useless if they were far away. Now that the Gu woman is dead, those who were poisoned by the anthelmintic will be completely free of the Gu worms' control after a night of pain. After being interrogated and screened at the palace gate, they can be released home if there is no problem."

"That's good." Gong Shangjiao's tense nerves relaxed and he asked Zhang Xueming, "Will the anthelmintic not cause harm to people who don't have poisonous insects in their bodies?"

"will not."

He then asked: "Are the medicinal materials easy to obtain? Do we need to use precious medicinal materials?"

"Easy to get, no need."

Gong Shangjiao moved his shoulders and said, "How much is the formula fee? If there is no problem, I need to recruit a batch of medicine from the palace in the near future, and notify the palace gates, so that those who have been to Wanhua Tower in the past can come to get the medicine. After the palace gates are settled, I will also need to notify all the residents of Jiuchen Valley... I hope the number of people will not be too large."

Zhang Xueming refused for the first time: "I don't want your money. Ayuan knows the recipe. I have agreed with him that he can use it, but he can't hand it over to the palace, and he can't use it to make a profit outside the Old Dust Valley."

Seeing Gong Shangjiao narrow his eyes, Zhang Xueming knew without even having to read his face that this guy was becoming suspicious again.

She drank a sip of the cypress seed nourishing heart tea that Gong Yuanzheng had prepared for her, raised her eyebrows, and immediately started to speak in a sarcastic tone: "Second Uncle Gong is old and has a bad memory, but I, as your niece, dare not forget. Last year, I promised to make this medicine to honor you, but who knew that no matter how much I studied it outside the palace, I was always a little short of the mark. There was a key point that I could not figure out no matter how hard I tried. Until this afternoon, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and added a herb of red heart grass, and it actually worked in one try..."

At this point, Zhang Xueming couldn't help but feel bored. How boring! She had been in so much trouble for so long, but it was not as good as being radiated by the male lead's halo? Without Gong Yuanzheng, God would make her unable to make this medicine in her life? Nonsense!

For a moment, she lost all interest in speaking and just glanced at Gong Yuanzheng angrily.

Gong Yuanzheng misunderstood and said hurriedly, "Brother, don't think too much. On the way back to the palace, Zhaozhao told me that after we confirm that the people who tested the medicine are fine, we will continue to study and see if there is any way to improve it. It would be best if the poisonous insects and eggs can die without feeling anything, so that the users will not suffer. If it succeeds, you can give it to me."

Seeing that Gong Shangjiao just lowered his eyes and remained silent, he said seriously: "Brother, Zhao Zhao and I have no ill will. We just feel that it is not worth it to go through such a painful dark moment every month and lose two hours of internal energy in exchange for a little increase in internal energy. You can't even make up for the energy you have consumed. Besides, the Izumo heavy lotus I planted will bloom in a few months. By then..."

Gong Shangjiao pursed his lips, raised his eyes to glance at the depressed Zhang Xueming, then looked at Gong Yuanzheng with an earnest look, his eyes flickered slightly, and he coughed lightly, saying: "Ah, I remember, at the beginning of the year I met a cloth merchant from eastern Zhejiang. When he heard that I was looking for good material, he gave me a piece of peacock blue four-season flower woven gold-embellished satin in his collection. I heard that it is best used to make skirts..."

Gold-embroidered satin? Zhang Xueming was refreshed, and all his worries disappeared. How could there be such an unexpected surprise? He pretended to glance at Gong Shangjiao's face unintentionally. Hey, he actually felt guilty!

But she had to be reserved. Gong Shangjiao hadn't said he would give her anything yet, so she couldn't be coaxed so quickly. Last time, Zheng's father had given her six feet of Shu brocade, and she only forgave the unreliable old man for taking Gong Shangjiao to the study to appreciate her dark history memorial painting.

Zhang Xueming lowered his eyes and drank tea, listening to Gong Shangjiao describing the beauty of the material in a plain and straightforward tone, as if reciting a text.

When he finally said, "It's a gift for your seventeenth birthday."

Zhang Xueming's lips curved up, and he smiled like a flower: "As the saying goes, 'a gift from an elder should not be refused', so Zhao Zhao would like to thank the God of Wealth for his generosity."

A pair of bright eyes sparkled, and three big words were clearly written on his face: Where is the thing?

Gong Shangjiao turned his eyes away in disdain: "Tomorrow I will ask Jin Fu to deliver it to Zheng Palace for you, along with the medicinal herbs and snow lotus that Elders Xue and Yue promised you. The things Elder Hua promised you will not be delivered until next month."

"Oh, they still remember it?" Zhang Xueming laughed. "I thought the old people just gave you a bunch of good things on a whim that day, but when I went back and thought about it, I felt that since we have already eased the relationship with you through me and A Yuan, there is no need to really give you that much, so I decided to get away with it."

"Don't talk nonsense, that's the elder." Gong Shangjiao said indifferently, his shoulders slumped a little, obviously relieved, "You accepted the elder's gift, and you should also consider the return gift carefully. The elders don't lack anything, they just want to show their appreciation, you can prepare it." After a pause, he added: "I know you are always thorough in doing things, so I'm just giving you instructions in vain."

Gong Yuanzheng was not happy: "Brother, what about me? I want a gift too!"

"What do you want? Do you want the eight hundred walnuts for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Don't you think about how old you are and how old she is?" Gong Shangjiao looked at no one and waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly: "It's late at night, go back and have some rest. I'm old, and I'm not as energetic as you young people." Humph, I always feel like I'm being bullied, so angry!
