Quickly wear a chapter to end

Gong Shangjiao, the lord of the Jiao Palace among the four palaces in the palace, is responsible for external mediation and family livelihood. He has outstanding abilities and holds a pivotal and irreplaceable position in the palace.

When he was seventeen, a bandit assassin invaded the palace gates and killed his mother Madam Ling and his younger brother Gong Langjiao. He then became brothers with Gong Yuanzheng, who was also an orphan, and they depended on each other for survival.

At the age of twenty, he passed the three-domain trial in the back mountain. He was the first among his peers, even earlier than his cousin Gong Huanyu, but the elders and Zhiren chose Gong Huanyu as Zhiren's successor.

At the age of 27, he left the palace to investigate the Infinite Flowing Fire. That night, an accident happened in the palace, and the old Blade Master and the young master died at the same time. The palace chose Gong Ziyu as the new Blade Master according to the rule of succession in absentia, and he missed the position of Blade Master again.

Gong Shangjiao worked diligently for the palace, but the elders of the palace were still partial to his brothers Yugong, who were inferior to him in every way. Even when they recommended an incompetent person like Gong Ziyu to be the Blade Master, they did not consider him.

When Gong Ziyu suspected that he and his younger brother Yuanzheng had killed Lao Zhiren and the young master, the elders indulged him and imprisoned Yuanzheng's younger brother in a water dungeon.

The elders always protected Gong Ziyu, always showed partiality, and always made exceptions for Gong Ziyu. They accompanied Gong Ziyu's growth with their own lives, putting the entire palace in crisis.

Because Gong Shangjiao was too loyal to the palace, if it were someone else, he would have left the palace long ago.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Gong Yuanzheng shook his little head and the bell on his head rang, looking childish and lively. Zhang Shan couldn't help but pinch his chubby little face.

"Nothing. I'm going out to do some work in a couple of days. What do you want? I'll bring it back for you."

"I want to eat candied haws. Can you bring some for me, brother?"

Gong Yuanzheng rubbed his face against Zhang Shan's hand, showing great affection.

"can."

"Thank you, brother. You are the best!" Gong Yuanzheng hugged Zhang Shan's waist with a beaming smile.

Zhang Shan discovered that the other two palaces at the palace gate, Jiao Palace and Zheng Palace, were both fearful and respectful. The attitudes of those elders towards Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng were not very friendly either, which gave people a very strange feeling.

However, they trust the two brothers of Yumiya very much, just like their own children. No matter old or young, they all have a good impression of Yumiya. On the contrary, they are very distant from Jiaogong and Zhenggong, the two parents who provide them with food and clothing.

Why is that?

It can't be that they isolate and bully their brothers because they are all orphans, right?

Zhang Shan was puzzled, but she did not give up looking for the truth.

Why were Wufeng able to invade the palace gate five years ago, why were the people and elders from Yu Palace not there, and the people from the back mountain did not come out to help, why only Jiao Palace and Zheng Palace suffered heavy casualties, and only two underage children were left in the main line.

The more Zhang Shan thought about it, the more it seemed like a conspiracy theory.

Therefore, when he was not sure whether Gongmen was worth it, he did not intend to devote himself to Gongmen without reservation. He wanted to leave something to save his and Gong Yuanzheng's lives.

She also secretly dealt with a part of the outside industries, and after she finished, she returned to the palace with the candied haws.

"Brother is back!"

From a distance, he saw Gong Yuanzheng standing at the gate, waving at him, and Zhang Shan smiled for the first time in a long time.

"Brother Shangjiao is really partial. He only brings the good things to his younger brother Yuanzheng."

Gong Zishang and Gong Ziyu lay on the edge of the fence, looking longingly at the outside world.

Zhang Shan also saw them, but she just nodded and said hello and left. Gong Zishang and Gong Ziyu didn't even get a candied haws.

"How stingy." Gong Zishang and Gong Ziyu said in unison.

Gong Yuanzheng held a candied haws in one hand and followed Zhang Shan, hopping and skipping, with the bells jingling.

"Brother, the Izumo lotus has bloomed. I want to give it to you."

Gong Yuanzheng sat next to Zhang Shan hesitantly, raised his little head with an expectant look on his face, with syrup still on the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Shan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the syrup from the corner of his mouth. "No, I'll leave that Izumo Lotus for you. You're in poor health and you often make poisons, so it's best to use it to improve your physical condition."

"But I want to give it to my brother." Gong Yuanzheng was very happy that his brother cared about him, but he wanted to give the Izumo Chonglian to his brother even more.

"Brother, you don't need it for now, and don't you have another one? When that one blooms, it will be the same if I give it to you. Just be obedient."

Zhang Shan gently patted Gong Yuanzheng's little head and moved him away from her face.

"Okay, I won't let you down."

"We must not let anyone else know about this, lest Brother Gong Huanyu snatch it away again."

This was the case in the original world. Gong Yuanzheng finally cultivated the Izumo Chonglian, but it was snatched away by Lao Zhiren and given to Gong Huanyu to increase his internal strength so that he could pass the Three Realms Trial.

"Okay, then brother, can you help me protect the law?"

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Zhang Shan with hope. Zhang Shan's heart softened and she nodded in agreement.

At night, Gong Yuanzheng prepared some medicinal materials and used them as a guide to refine the Izumo Lotus into a medicinal bath. He sat in the medicine barrel with a painful expression and a pale face. Zhang Shan was very worried, so she transferred her internal energy into the medicinal bath to help Gong Yuanzheng refine the Izumo Lotus and bring out its medicinal properties.

This internal force was transferred throughout the whole night. The next day, they both opened their eyes at the same time. Gong Yuanzheng was very excited to see his brother. He was about to stand up and hug Zhang Shan, but he found himself naked. He shrank back into the water, his face red to his neck.

"Ahem, I'm going out first."

Although there was nothing to see, children tend to be shy, so Zhang Shan asked the servants to bring breakfast over. She ate breakfast while waiting for Gong Yuanzheng to come out.

Gong Yuanzheng didn't come out, so Zhiren sent someone to look for her.

"See you holding the blade!"

"Well, Shangjiao, Huanyu is about to participate in the Three Realms Trial. Do you and Yuanzheng have anything that can help him increase his internal strength and pass the trial smoothly?"

"Forgive Shang Jiao for being so dull that he hasn't discovered anything like this yet. Shang Jiao passed the test at the age of 20, and I believe Brother Huan Yu can do it, too."

Zhi Ren was very disappointed and let Zhang Shan leave.

Without Izumo Chonglian, Gong Huanyu would rest for half a year after passing each level. At this speed, it would take two years for him to pass the trial. Except for Gong Yuanzheng who was dissatisfied, everyone else was very satisfied with Gong Huanyu's performance.

Therefore, Zhi Ren and the elders passed over Zhang Shan and appointed Feng Gong Huan Yu as the young master of the palace.

Zhang Shan knew the result and was not disappointed. However, Gong Yuanzheng was so angry that he couldn't eat for three days. It was only after Zhang Shan coaxed him and promised to take him out next time that he was willing to eat.

When Gong Yuanzheng was fifteen years old, Zhang Shan, against all odds, took Gong Yuanzheng out of the palace to look for herbs and poisons in the world. The two of them wandered around the mountains and rivers and had no time to care about such an important matter as choosing a bride for the palace.

Shangguan Qian discovered that Mr. Gong Er had gone out traveling and was not in the palace at all. She was completely confused. How could she carry out her mission if he was not there?

But she finally stayed at the palace gate and assisted Yun Weishan in completing the task. Yun Weishan became Gong Ziyu's bride and helped him complete the three-domain trial and secure his position as the swordsman.

Shangguan Qian secretly entered the back mountain to look for the infinite flowing fire.

Yun Weishan used Shangguan Qian to contact Wufeng, and asked Wufeng to attack the palace gate, while they caught the turtle in the jar.

However, they failed.

The palace gate was destroyed by Wufeng, and even the elders in the back mountain died.

At the same time, Zhang Shan ambushed the leader of Wufeng, and together with Gong Yuanzheng, killed Wufeng and Han Yike to avenge his mother and brother.

From then on, there was no more palace gate and no more Wufeng in the world.

Zhang Shan took Gong Yuanzheng to travel around the country, performed chivalrous deeds, and accompanied Gong Yuanzheng in his search for the world's most dangerous poisons, living a happy life.
