At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xueming left the study space on time.

In order to ensure that there were not too many obvious wrinkles on her clothes, she had been "meditating" on the soft couch in the guest room of the Elders' House from last night until now.

She put on her boots and opened the window of the guest room. She saw that the snow outside had stopped and the wind had died down. The fresh fragrance of the forest broke through the sandalwood defense and rushed into the window, making her feel refreshed.

This breakfast was eaten in the elders' house.

The elders did not show up, only Gong Shangjiao was there.

Two fist-sized steamed buns, a bowl of thick rice porridge, a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts, a small plate of kohlrabi mixed with sesame oil...

Gone?

Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng looked up at Gong Shangjiao across the table at the same time. Their movements and expressions were exactly the same, and their eyes were sparkling.

Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, but then he forced it down and said seriously, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

But that look clearly said: Go back and eat later.

Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng ate without worry. When they were out, they all wanted to save face, and they were very polite, and it took them more than a quarter of an hour to finish their meal.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng did not mention Elder Yue's matter, and Zhang Xueming did not ask either. He only asked, "When are we going back to Jiao Palace? Will the palace gates be opened today?"

Gong Shangjiao felt better when he heard the word "return": "Return now, the ban will be lifted in the afternoon."

After saying hello to the two elders who had just returned from the back mountain, he asked Hongyu Shi Jin Ting to go to the Corner Palace to report the news first, while he led his two little ones back slowly.

They didn't talk about business along the way. I just heard them chattering about food and fun, and before I knew it, I arrived at the Corner Palace.

When he saw Jin Fu, he asked, "Did you find anything in Jiao Palace and Zheng Palace last night?"

Jin Fu replied, "The guards of both palaces were called to change shifts and patrol until 12:00."

"Is the hot water ready?"

"It's ready. It's already in Master Zheng and Miss Zhao's room."

"Is breakfast ready?"

"It's ready. Shall I ask the kitchen to deliver it now?"

"Hmm. Is anyone coming over from the Palace of Seizure?"

"Su Rong came here with Miss Zhao's things just now and is waiting."

Gong Shangjiao then rushed the two children to wash and change clothes. He also had to go to the bathhouse for a while. The sandalwood scent in the elders' house was too strong. After staying there all night, he felt like he was marinated in it.

After everything was ready, the three of them met in the dining room of the main hall of the Corner Palace.

After each of them drank a bowl of hot rice oil, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

This is the benefit of doing bad things together and keeping the same secret together, it effectively narrows the psychological distance.

Gong Shangjiao picked up a braised pork bun for Gong Yuanzheng and Zhang Xueming respectively, picked up a vegetable bun for himself, and started eating slowly.

The chef from Jiao Palace obviously took some time to go to Zheng Palace's kitchen to learn some tips.

The vegetable and meat buns, braised meat buns, and vegetarian buns are all well made. There are three choices of porridge: meat porridge, millet porridge, and glutinous rice porridge. There are also seven or eight kinds of side dishes, everything is on par with Zheng Palace.

Anyway, Gong Shangjiao couldn’t finish it all, and there was a pair of young people who were “growing up” to clean up the mess, so there was no need to worry about waste.

After eating and drinking, the three of them walked around the corner palace and did not go to practice swordplay. They came back and sat in the tea room. The kitchen also sent them three kinds of fruits: snow pear, persimmon and winter jujube, and three kinds of desserts: hawthorn cake, red bean cake and jujube and yam cake.

Gong Yuanzheng made tea, Gong Shangjiao picked a winter jujube, and Zhang Xueming picked up a piece of hawthorn cake. Everyone was lazy, even Gong Shangjiao was no exception.

"Do you have any thread for making a lace?" Zhang Xueming drank a sip of the blood-replenishing and beauty-enhancing tea customized by Gong Yuanzheng, ate the last bite of hawthorn cake, and asked Gong Shangjiao while half leaning on the armrest.

Gong Shangjiao glanced at her: "No."

Zhang Xueming also glanced at him: "Really?"

Gong Shangjiao took the key to the warehouse and threw it on the table, then called Jin Fu in: "Go to the warehouse and take the thread for making a thread."

Jin Fu took the key but didn't leave. He mentioned the problem of the screen and the beaded curtain that Zhang Xueming had raised last night. Gong Shangjiao waved his hand and said, "Just do what Zheng Zhaozhao says. She is an expert in these matters."

After thinking for a while, he said, "When the palace gates are opened in the afternoon, just keep two good bead curtains and screens from all over the place. Have the others shipped out to shops and sold. Don't leave them in the warehouse taking up space."

After Jin Fu left, Zhang Xueming asked Gong Shangjiao, "Aren't you going to work at the Blade Hall today? Haven't you found the former young master yet?"

"The ban has been lifted. If he wants to leave, he can leave. If he doesn't want to leave, he can wait to be caught." Gong Shangjiao put the intact winter dates back on the plate, with an attitude of "I've ruined them, you can do whatever you want to me." He picked up the medicinal tea that Gong Yuanzheng had poured for him, blew away the hot steam, took a sip, and frowned, "Brother Yuanzheng, the taste of your medicinal tea is getting weaker and weaker."

"We just had breakfast not long ago, so we don't like strong-smelling food." Gong Yuanzheng replied calmly, looking around like a thief, moving closer, and asking him in a low voice: "Brother, are you just going to leave the Moon Palace matter to the back mountain?"

"What else?" Gong Shangjiao glanced at him in surprise. "Elder Yue is ninety-two years old this year. When he became Elder Yue, our parents were not even born yet. How many blood relatives of the Gong family in the four palaces of the front mountain and the three palaces of the back mountain have been raised by him? Who doesn't think he is kind and gentle? The mistakes made in the last twenty years cannot offset the contributions of his first fifty years. Otherwise, the back mountain will only think that I am unkind."

He was a new Blade Master who had only taken over for a few days. He said that the bloodline of the palace was more important than anything else, and the next moment he wanted to send Elder Yue, who had worked so hard and made so many contributions, to death?

think too much.

The play that should be done has been done, and Elder Yue has played the role that he should play.

Now Elder Yue is no longer an elder, and Master Yue is a useless person, so both father and son can no longer stay in the Moon Palace. The other two elders have a rift with Elder Yue, and will not help them as much as they used to.

The Moon Palace, which has the largest network of relationships, is no longer the leader of the three palaces in the back mountain. It would be a good idea to temporarily replace it with a young person who needs time to train.

And when he does things in the future, Xue Gong and Hua Gong will not oppose him without knowing the truth. If someone opposes him, Xue Gong and Hua Gong will protect him...

So, why bother about how to deal with Elder Yue?

Adults don’t care about right or wrong, they only care about benefits.

He used to be unwilling to bring back the outside methods to the palace and was obsessed with seeking fairness within the palace, which was indeed extremely wrong.

Gong Shangjiao looked at the angry Gong Yuanzheng and Zhang Xueming who was smiling at them with his chin in his hand, and his brows softened.

Just like Zhang Xueming said, there is no need to talk about reason in a real home, it is all about feelings.

Only when facing outsiders does he need to reason and seek fairness... From now on, it will be others who will reason with him and seek fairness from him.

Gong Shangjiao smiled and explained to Gong Yuanzheng: "In fact, if you just calm down and think about it carefully, you will find that the mistakes made by Elder Yue are not serious. He just helped Lao Zhiren and his adopted son to conceal the truth. At most, he was a shielder. His crime is not punishable by death, and he will not even be subject to severe punishment or house arrest."

"What about Master Yue?" Gong Yuanzheng asked unconvincedly, "Not only did he snatch one Wu Feng from me two years ago, he also helped him fake his death and escape from the palace. Now he wants to steal my Chu Yun Chong Lian to feed another Wu Feng. Can't you just hand him over to me?"

Zhang Xueming found it funny: "Then how does A Yuan want to deal with him?"

This time Gong Yuanzheng did not hide his cruelty and ruthlessness: "Of course, I will make Yun Weishan suffer all the punishments in the dungeon in front of him, poison him to mute him, and send him to do hard labor until he dies."

When he said this, he paid close attention to Zhang Xueming's expression from the corner of his eyes. Seeing her smile, he felt relieved and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "What is Zhao Zhao laughing at? Does Zhao Zhao have a better idea?"
