Okay.

The less you want something to happen, the more likely it will happen.

That incident was really exposed.

Gong Yuanzheng had the illusion that his heart and liver were about to break. He broke out in a cold sweat and even forgot to cry.

At this point, the premonition became reality, and his hope was finally shattered to pieces.

He had always been an obedient and well-behaved little brother with no secrets in front of Gong Shangjiao over the years, but suddenly Gong Shangjiao discovered that he actually had a secret...

Gong Yuanzheng shrank his neck and looked at the floor dejectedly, not daring to challenge Gong Shangjiao's patience again.

To be honest, Gong Yuanzheng was a little nervous when he felt his pulse in the clinic. He found that the small black particles falling from his robe were by-products of detoxification, and he felt numb.

The residual toxins accumulated over the years must be discharged without a sound. If so many black impurities were discharged through the pores, you can imagine how scary the scene would be.

Any doctor who came to take a look would be able to tell that he had been poisoned for a long time. An experienced doctor would also be able to infer that the poison had already penetrated his lungs and lungs before the detoxification, and it was difficult to recover...

However, what Gong Yuanzheng was afraid of was not that Gong Shangjiao would find out that he had dared to hide the fact that he had continued to experiment with poisons on himself and damaged his body since he fell into a coma and became ill at the age of twelve.

What Gong Yuanzheng was afraid of was that Gong Shangjiao would be reminded of the group of doctors in the clinic a few years ago who, even though they had the long swords of the Jiaogong guards on their necks and were forced to take his pulse every year, were still able to diagnose that he was in good health every year.

It was just concealment, and we also found ways to deal with it, so the nature of it was not too bad.

But what about threatening others to collude in lying, cheating and deceiving?

The one he lied to was his brother who raised him, taught him martial arts, taught him to read, taught him how to be a good person, and who brought him gifts every time he returned to the palace.

Even someone as calm and composed as Gong Shangjiao was so angry that he started beating people up. He probably felt that his cousin was not as obedient as his own brother. He said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. He couldn't tell good from bad and was hypocritical...

Once he admits it, will Gong Shangjiao be disappointed in him, give up on him and ignore him?

The more Gong Yuanzheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. His face turned pale and his whole body trembled. The tears that he had just held back began to drip again, hitting the wooden floor, splashing out tiny drops of water one by one.

Gong Shangjiao was stunned.

No, what is Gong Yuanzheng doing?

Why did this naughty brother look like he was scared of himself just when he was having a sip of tea?

I've already been beaten, is it so difficult to admit a mistake?

Did he not explain clearly?

Gong Shangjiao began to doubt his ability to express himself in words.

Forget it, don’t bother with this brother who you don’t know whether he is smart or stupid.

If he continues to care about this, he might be the next person to enter the clinic.

Just as Gong Shangjiao was about to speak, Gong Yuanzheng sobbed, "I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong. I, I just thought that you've worked hard enough for the palace, and it's dangerous to deal with the assassins outside. I can't let you worry about my affairs anymore, so I didn't tell you, tell you... that I have been testing poison on myself behind your back for the past five years. At the beginning, it was me, I privately threatened the doctor in the clinic to give false testimony for me, and lied to you.

My brother was so good to me, and I lied to him. You have the right to be angry and hit me.

As long as I can calm down, you can beat me, but, just don’t ignore me, don’t abandon me…”

Finally got to the point.

Gong Shangjiao felt relieved.

It is really not easy to educate my younger brother. It is more difficult than mediating with various forces in the underworld or fighting wits and courage with the assassin without a sharp edge.

"Do you really know you're in the wrong?" The deep voice was calm and without any emotion.

"I know! I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't have disobeyed my brother, done things that made him unhappy behind his back, and even threatened others to deceive and lie to my brother. I, I..."

Gong Yuanzheng was so scared that he didn't bother to think about it. He just said whatever came to his mind: "It's not that I haven't prepared a way to deal with it. Even if my poison is not neutralized this time, you don't have to worry about me dying.

The last time my brother came back, I wanted to tell him that I had cultivated three new Izumo lotuses.

I had already made plans. When the flowers bloom, I will give one to my brother, one for myself, and one to Young Master Yue in the Moon Palace in the back mountain for study.

Legend has it that Izumo Juren can bring the dead back to life, so removing the remaining poison will be no problem for her."

Gong Yuanzheng is timid, but unfortunately he is too tall and has lost his cuteness as a child.

He cried and pleaded, "Brother, I can wait. They will bloom in half a year at most. If it's fast, three months..."

"Gong Yuanzheng." Gong Shangjiao sighed, his voice hoarse, "I remember you once said that the Izumo Heavy Lotus is very delicate. Even the slightest change in the environment may lead to all previous efforts being wasted. How can you guarantee that there will be no mistakes?

Even if the new Izumo lotus you cultivated blooms successfully, think about the original Izumo lotus, and then think about what happened this time. Don't you still understand the saying that things are unpredictable?"

Mr. Gong Er, who was a man of his word, finally realized that his brother did not care about his body. Health was not important to him. He regarded his body as a useful tool and a necessary investment.

Why did Gong Yuanzheng develop the herb that can cure all kinds of poisons?

The poisonous miasma in the Jiuchen Valley became increasingly dense. He worked hard outside, but came back with the plague and suffered from a minor illness every winter. After the successful development of Baicaocui, this situation no longer occurred.

Why did Gong Yuanzheng keep preparing so many kinds of poisons?

There were very few assassins who could successfully sneak into the palace, and torture did not require so many poisons with different effects. It can be said that most of the poisons would be handed over to him before he left the palace, giving him an extra means and protection when fighting against the guards who went out of the Corner Palace.

After all, Gong Yuanzheng disregarded his own body and even his own life, all for him.

Gong Shangjiao closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before he made up his mind to reveal some of his true feelings and tell his stupid brother to stop doing stupid things.

Fortunately, the darkness covered the tears in his eyes so that Gong Yuanzheng would not see them, which would have made the elder brother look too embarrassed in front of his younger brother. However, when he spoke, his voice inevitably trembled slightly: "Brother Yuanzheng, ever since the catastrophe at the palace gate, you and I have been relying on each other to support Zhenggong and Jiaogong for more than ten years.

We have been through all the ups and downs together, but it is only now that I realize...

I was wondering, is it because I’m such a failure as a brother that you feel that what I care about is not you as a person, but you did something that made me unhappy?

Have you ever thought that what if things didn't turn out the way you imagined and I knew nothing about your true situation?

If one day, I return to the palace and the person I see is not you in person... How would you, as your brother, feel?

You let me raise you, are you going to send you away?

My brother used to want you to be strong, to work hard, and to become an indispensable pillar of the palace. He hoped that you would have the ability and confidence to live a good, happy and free life, not that he wanted you to exchange your health or your life for it.

It is my wish to make the palace strong, and I must avenge my family, but that will never be at the expense of you, do you understand?"

Gong Yuanzheng was stunned.

He couldn't believe his ears, but he refused to disbelieve it.

I feel so confused, not knowing whether I am feeling regret or fear.

After a while, the seventeen-year-old boy stood up with great effort, limped towards Gong Shangjiao, and lay down on his side like he did in his childhood, resting his head on Gong Shangjiao's thigh, covering his face and suddenly burst into tears.

Gong Shangjiao gently stroked his hair and looked at the ripples on the ink pool in the darkness, his heart aching and his eyes softening.

fortunately.

Fortunately, it's not too late.
