That day, the three elders of the Elders' Council called everyone to a meeting. As soon as they entered the Elders' Council, Gong Ziyu said to Gong Shangjiao, "I found a witness who proved that my father's death was related to Gong Yuanzheng."

Gong Yuanzheng said, "You bastard! What does Zhiren's death have to do with me?"

Gong Ziyu said, "You deliberately replaced the main ingredient of Baicaocui, the Shenling Flower, with Xianglingcao, causing Baicaocui to lose its detoxifying effect. My father was poisoned to death!"

Gong Yuanzheng angrily shouted, "You're talking nonsense!" He was about to hit Gong Ziyu when Gong Shangjiao stopped him. Gong Shangjiao said, "Where's the witness, Brother Ziyu? I can't convict Brother Yuanzheng based on your one-sided story. If anyone tries to wrongly accuse Brother Yuanzheng, I will never let them off!"

Elder Xue saw that a quarrel had broken out at home and hurriedly asked, "Where is the witness who wielded the knife?" Gong Ziyu hurriedly asked Jin Fan to bring Manager Jia up. As soon as Manager Jia came up, he saluted everyone.

Elder Hua: "Manager Jia, Zhiren said you said Yuanzheng asked you to replace the Shenling Flower in Baicaocui with Xiangling Grass?"

Steward Jia knelt in the hall and said slowly, "Yes, Elder. The Palace Master asked me to replace it, and also told me to destroy the replaced Divine Feather Flower!"

Gong Ziyu said angrily: "Did you hear that? Gong Yuanzheng was responsible for my father's death. I want him to pay with his life!" Then he was about to have Gong Yuanzheng locked up in the dungeon. Shangguan smiled slightly, seemingly not caring, but a hint of doubt was revealed in her eyes. She stared at Manager Jia, listening to his words quietly, but thinking in her heart. Manager Jia insisted that it was Gong Yuanzheng who asked him to change the main ingredient of Baicao Cui, as if this was the fact and could not be questioned. Shangguan couldn't help but feel emotional. Could it be that the life or death of a palace master could be determined based on the one-sided words of a servant? Is such a judgment too hasty? Everyone looked at Shangguan Qian when they heard her laugh, and the elders all had displeased expressions.

Shangguan Qian said: "You didn't even look at me. I just laughed at how careless you were. You judged Brother Yuanzheng's guilt based on just listening to his words. After all, he is the Palace Master! I even said that this servant was a Wufeng assassin who was specifically assigned to destroy the unity of the palace!" After hearing Shangguan Qian's words, several elders also felt that it made sense.

Gong Shangjiao said hurriedly, "I believe Brother Yuanzheng wouldn't kill Zhiren." Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were red, and he silently shed tears. Shangguan Qianze hurriedly patted his hands to comfort him. Gong Ziyu was unconvinced and said, "Then Gong Yuanzheng is also responsible. My father was poisoned to death because Baicao Cui lost its effect!"

Shangguan Qian: "Baicaocui, the palace's secret medicine that can cure all poisons, was made by Zheng Palace, but after it was made and sent to the people in each palace for consumption, everyone took it except Zhiren. If there is a suspect, Young Master Yu is the biggest suspect. Who allowed Young Master Yu to get the biggest benefit and become Zhiren? Could it be that Brother Yuanzheng did it on purpose to make you the Zhiren? After all, Brother Yuanzheng is underage and Shangjiao is not in the palace!" The elders were embarrassed after hearing this. After all, everyone knew that Gong Ziyu was not talented. With this said, Gong Yuanzheng had no motivation.

Gong Ziyu: "But he is also responsible!"

Shangguan Qian said, "Humph! You can't poop tomorrow, and you blame the toilet!" Gong Ziyu angrily pointed at Shangguan Qian and said, "You! You! You are so vulgar!"

Shangguan Qian innocently asked Gong Shangjiao, "Shangjiao, am I vulgar?" Gong Shangjiao stroked Shangguan Qian's hair and said slowly, "Qianqian is the most elegant woman!"

Gong Yuanzheng hurriedly comforted her, "Sister-in-law is the most beautiful and elegant..." Shangguan Qian was embarrassed when she heard Gong Yuanzheng calling her sister-in-law. She didn't want to be his sister-in-law. After all, the task required her to give birth to their child. What good was a sister-in-law doing!

Looking at the current situation, the elders could only order the steward Jia to be imprisoned and tortured. At the same time, they ordered Gong Shangjiao to investigate the matter!
