Along the way, Gong Shangjiao called away Jin Ting and Jin Miao, who had been defending their place for nearly an hour, and picked up Jin Tong and a Huang Yushi, who had sneaked in to rescue but were unfortunately knocked down by Zhang Xueming's medicine.

When he reached the upper floor, he bumped into the topaz servants rushing in.

Seeing that Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng and Zhang Xueming were acting normally, the sincere people who had eaten Zhenggong's snacks all breathed a sigh of relief. But when they found that Jin Tong and another Huang Yushi were being carried on someone's back, they became nervous again.

The leading Huang Yushi heard that the entire floor below where the serious criminals were held was poisoned, so he gave the last antidote to Jin Tong and another Huang Yushi. The poison was not life-threatening, but it would only become ineffective at dawn tomorrow, so he did not go in, nor did he ask about Master Yue and the others, but only escorted Gong Shangjiao and the others out.

Going up one level, they met Jin Fangzheng and his men escorting his deputy and a dozen dungeon guards out, and the two teams naturally merged into one.

When he arrived outside the dungeon, Zhang Xueming looked around and found that he was surrounded by the yellow jade servants holding knives.

The two elders and the former Moon Elder, whose face had changed, were all there, standing far away on the periphery. Each of them held their heads, their faces ashen, staring at the dungeon entrance, wondering what they were thinking.

The old Palace Master of Shang Palace, Gong Liushang, had two Yellow Jade servants holding a knife to his neck. He was leaning on a wheelchair, holding his chest and gasping for breath. His Green Jade servant and more than twenty Shang Palace guards were all tied up and kneeling on the side.

Gong Zishang was lying on a stretcher, retching with his head tilted to one side.

Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng saluted the elders and stepped aside, leaving the negotiation task to Gong Shangjiao.

Gong Yuanzheng held her hand tightly, ignoring everyone else and just staring at her slightly pale face with worry.

Zhang Xueming glanced up at him and saw that he was indeed daydreaming again. He explained helplessly in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, Ayuan, I took medicine. My blood and qi are too full, so I vomited blood. I didn't get…"

Before she could utter the word "injury", a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed up. Without time to swallow it, she had to turn her face away, bend over, and spit it out on the ground with a "plop".

All of a sudden, Gong Shangjiao and the elders who were talking stopped talking, Gong Zishang who was retching stopped retching, and the Huang Yu servants who were on alert all looked over.

Everyone around was looking at Zhang Xueming, but the two elders and the former Elder Yue looked at Gong Yuanzheng in horror.

Zhang Xueming felt his mouth was full of salty and fishy taste, as well as a hint of rust. He couldn't spit in front of so many people, so he had to touch the handkerchief in his arms.

Unexpectedly, her waist felt tight and Gong Yuanzheng lifted her up horizontally.

Zhang Xueming was too familiar with his aura and was completely defenseless against him. He never expected that he would suddenly do this.

She looked up at Gong Yuanzheng, whose eyes were red, and blinked in confusion. She couldn't speak at this time, unless she wanted Gong Yuanzheng to see the gap between her teeth, which must have been stained with blood.

Zhang Xueming closed his mouth and asked him with his eyes: What are you doing?

Gong Yuanzheng avoided her gaze and said to Gong Shangjiao, "Brother, I will take Zhaozhao back to Zheng Palace first."

Zhang Xueming was then surprised to find that the surroundings were unusually quiet.

She had overused her spiritual sense today, and had taken the spiritual tonic pills to the limit. Thinking that nothing would happen, she did not force herself to release her spiritual sense to be on guard. Now she turned around and saw that everyone from the elders to the guards were staring at her. She immediately realized that they had misunderstood that she was seriously injured.

It was just a misunderstanding. She had made great efforts tonight, and any compensation given by the palace was what she deserved.

Just this posture...

Oh, forget it. If I insist on walking alone at this moment, I will just be regarded as showing off my strength.

Zhang Xueming hid her face in Gong Yuanzheng's arms, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

then……

She fell asleep in seconds.

Gong Shangjiao was filled with anger and was worried about Zhang Xueming, so he was unwilling to stay and deal with these trivial matters. He simply pushed all the matters to Elder Hua and Elder Xue, and left with his brother and sister.

When he passed by Gong Zishang, he hesitated for a moment, but still ordered people to carry Gong Zishang back to Zheng Palace with them, which was a disguised expression that he did not doubt Gong Zishang's involvement in the power seizure by Gong Huanyu and others.

He didn't care about the three people in the back mountain and Gong Ziyu. They wouldn't die anyway, so it would be good to stay in the dungeon for a night to clear their brains.

The former Moon Elder hesitated for a moment, but eventually caught up.

The group hurried back to Zheng Palace, and Gong Yuanzheng directly carried Zhang Xueming back to the bedroom in Miaoxiaju.

At this moment, no one cared about whether it was in accordance with the rules or not. The former Elder Yue followed him into the bedroom, and Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng did not stop him.

Gong Zishang, who was so scared that he was retching and hiccuping, held his still dizzy head and sat in the tea room with Gong Shangjiao waiting for the result.

Not long after, the former Elder Yue and Gong Yuanzheng came out one after another. Gong Shangjiao was about to ask, but saw Zhang Xueming actually followed Gong Yuanzheng out.

"Zhao Zhao, hiccup, why don't you take a rest, hiccup, come out, hiccup, what are you doing?" Gong Zishang said in astonishment, "You, hiccup, vomited blood, hiccup."

"It's really okay." Zhang Xueming smiled, "Isn't it normal for the medicine I prepared to have some side effects? It will be like this for a while. I'll get used to it, and you should get used to it too."

Gong Yuanzheng forced himself to suppress his inner anxiety, nodded to Gong Shangjiao and said, "It is indeed a sign of fullness of Qi and blood, and no other problems can be found."

The former Yue Elder also frowned and said, "How strange! I have only seen nosebleeds due to excessive blood and qi, but this is the first time I have seen vomiting blood."

Not to mention that he and Gong Yuanzheng didn't believe it, just seeing that Zhang Xueming turned sideways and covered his mouth with a handkerchief while talking, and the snow-white handkerchief was immediately stained red, Gong Shangjiao and Gong Zishang didn't believe that this was nothing.

As Zhang Xueming showed an attitude of not wanting to say more, the three siblings of the Gong family and the former Elder Yue had no choice but to stop asking questions.

The former Moon Elder also knew that he was not welcome, so he did not stay to have supper with them.

But he had no plans to go to the dungeon again.

He had raised Master Yue for more than twenty years, and had wanted to see him again and have a chat before he was executed.

Who knew that something unexpected happened when they arrived at the dungeon. He and his two old friends lost consciousness in front of the dungeon at the same time and were pulled into the same "dream". They experienced another life at the same time, a life that was more absurd and miserable than the real one...

Gong Huanyu's plan succeeded, Gong Hongyu died, and he and Gong Ziyu, who was favored by Elder Xue, took the position of sword wielder. They were instigated by Gong Huanyu and Ming Wuji to suppress Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng.

He clearly suspected Ming Wuji, but when Ming Wuji invited him to talk late at night, he was caught off guard and died tragically in the other party's sneak attack...

That “dream” gave the former Moon Elder more memories than just these.

And also the behavior of Gong Ziyu and Yue Gongzi after his death.

He was horrified to realize that the two children he had loved so much in his life were not as innocent and kind as he thought, but were instead selfish and cold to the point of being shocking.

With his body still in front of him, Gong Ziyu could not wait to accuse Gong Shangjiao and curse Gong Yuanzheng. He even shamelessly bet on passing the first level of the Three Realms Trial, forcing Gong Shangjiao to catch the murderer within ten days.

After that, he failed to cheat by taking cold poison, and asked Yun Weishan, the assassin without a front, to help him pass the level. He easily exposed the secret code on his back to Yun Weishan, and recited his martial arts skills to Yun Weishan... Knowing that the other party was the assassin without a front, he still protected and shielded him at all costs.

As for Master Yue, his adopted son, he was sad for him only on the night of his death. After that, he continued to miss Yun Que, recognized Yun Weishan, helped Gong Ziyu cheat, and lied for Yun Weishan to fool Gong Shangjiao...

The palace gate and the people who once loved them were never in the hearts of these two people.

The biggest mistake he made in his life was to mistake rubble for gems, but to ignore the real gems.

On the road leading to the clinic, the former Elder Yue walked silently in the darkness. He felt the wind blowing across his face, which was cold. When he touched his hands, they were full of tears.

He grinned and laughed softly: "It's okay, it's okay."

Fortunately, it was just a "dream".

The Council of Elders has no chance of making mistakes.

No matter how selfish and indifferent those two people were, they could no longer step on the blood and tears of the Gongmen people to please the Wufeng Assassin.
