Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"Yes, yes, yes." Nodding repeatedly, Manager Jia got up and crawled away.

Gong Ziyu walked up to Gong Yuanzheng and glanced at the panicked Jia Guanshi. "What's going on? Are you having trouble with the people in your own palace?"

Gong Yuanzheng looked at him without saying anything.

The boy's eyes were cold and stern, as if filled with poison. Gong Ziyu felt puzzled by his gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Even if he holds a grudge against me for grabbing his collar last night, he shouldn't be looking at him with murderous eyes, right?

He didn't even care that he didn't call him Zhiren, so why did he look like this?

"Nothing." Gong Yuanzheng's lips curled up slightly. "What are you doing here?"

The boy's voice was as gentle as water, but the murderous intent in his eyes was chilling to the bone.

When asked this, Gong Ziyu touched his nose a little guiltily: "I heard that Sister Ayun had a heart attack last night, so I came to visit her."

"Uh... Is Sister Yun feeling better now?"

Gong Yuanzheng was even wearing the same clothes as last night, but seeing as he had time to get angry with the steward, the situation shouldn't be that bad.

Seeing Gong Ziyu's little trick, Gong Yuanzheng's hands behind his back were throbbing with veins, and the smile on his lips became extremely dangerous: "You are so hypocritical. If you are so worried, why didn't you come last night?"

Being targeted like this again and again, Gong Ziyu frowned and became tough: "No one told me last night. I only found out this morning."

"That look of yours... who allowed you to look at the Blade Wielder like that?!"

Undeterred by his full-blown aura, Gong Yuanzheng's expression turned completely cold: "When did I admit that you wield a blade?"

"I don't need your recognition, just surrender." Not wanting to waste any more words with Gong Yuanzheng on this issue, Gong Ziyu walked into the Zheng Palace: "I'm going to see Sister Ayun."

The steps he had just taken were stopped by the boy's hand in front of him. Gong Ziyu frowned: "What do you mean?"

Did he take the wrong medicine today? !

"Sister's heart-protecting pills were tampered with, and coupled with the fact that I mediated the dispute between you and me last night, that's what triggered her heart disease." Gong Yuanzheng explained to him word by word. "If it weren't for last night's farce, with the years of careful care I've taken on Sister, even if the heart-protecting pills were tampered with, her heart disease wouldn't have flared up so severely."

The night before yesterday, Manager Jia met Gong Ziyu when he was delivering the Heart-Protecting Pill, and last night in the Blade Hall, it was Gong Ziyu who rushed up and attacked him.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Hearing that he was indeed responsible for Gong Yunzheng's heart attack, Gong Ziyu's attitude softened: "Have you found out who tampered with the Heart-Protecting Pill?"

If he finds out, he will definitely punish that person with his sword and will not show any leniency!

"I already have a suspicion." As he said this, Gong Yuanzheng stared at Gong Ziyu without blinking. He said with a pointed look, "If I find out it's really him, I will use all my life's knowledge to make him regret being born into this world."

Vaguely realizing what he meant, Gong Ziyu twitched the corner of her mouth: "Not only you, I won't let him go either."

The two looked at each other coldly for a moment, and Gong Yuanzheng drove them away: "Please go back."

He will not let any danger get close to his sister again as there is a suspicious guy.

"I am the wielder of the sword. No one has the right to stop me if I want to go through the palace gate." Gong Ziyu did not retreat at all.

He couldn't feel at ease without seeing Sister Ayun.

"Then you'll probably be disappointed." Gong Yuanzheng's hand shifted to grip the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist. "Your majesty in wielding a sword won't be displayed in my presence."

"I can't guarantee what will happen if you dare to take another step inside."

Seeing the young man like this, Jin Fan, who was standing behind Gong Ziyu, slowly grasped the hilt of the knife. Once the other party made a move, he would immediately draw his knife to protect the blade and keep it safe!

Looking at the boy's fierce and cold eyes, Gong Ziyu frowned in disbelief.

Gong Yuanzheng is serious.

He couldn't see a trace of joking in his eyes.

He was sure that if he took another step forward at this moment, his sword would be unsheathed immediately, and with the determination to kill!

Although he and Gong Yuanzheng had always been at odds, they couldn't usually play together, and it was common for them to mock each other when they met, but... that was always just a little bit, and they had never been serious like they were at this moment.

The young man was like a wolf with its fur standing on end and its teeth bared, standing in front of him. If he made the slightest movement, he would rush up and bite him without hesitation.

Even if the consequences are so serious that he cannot bear it.

Gong Yuanzheng's martial arts skills are not top-notch in the palace, but what is tricky is his ability to make poisons. Even though he has Baicaocui to protect himself, Gong Yuanzheng must have a poison that is not restricted by Baicaocui.

Once fighting occurs, one of the two sides will either die or be seriously injured!

Retracting the stare from the young man, Gong Ziyu turned and left.

Jin Fan immediately followed: "Where are we going now?"

"Go find my aunt to find out what's going on." Gong Ziyu just felt upset.

After Gong Ziyu and Jin Fan left, the boy slowly loosened his grip on the knife handle.

Looking at the two figures, thinking of his brother who had gone out and never returned, and his sister who was almost killed by someone, not only did Gong Ziyu become the one holding the sword, but even the elders were on his side, Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but feel isolated and helpless at the moment.

But he won't back down.

He will protect his sister with everything he has.

If it really is Gong Ziyu, he will make him pay the price even if it means risking his life!

Gong Yunzheng woke up and saw a white gauze curtain. Apart from feeling a little tired, she did not feel any discomfort. She turned her head and saw a young man sitting at the table, examining the porcelain vase in his hand, beyond the misty soft curtain.

"Expedition..."

Her voice was very weak, and the words she spoke were as silent as the fluttering of butterfly wings.

But even with such a faint sound, the young man sitting at the table immediately turned his head to look at her, walked forward, lifted the curtain and looked at her happily: "Sister, you're awake!"

He helped her up as he said, "How do you feel? Does it still hurt?"

Gong Yunzheng gave him a weak smile: "It's okay. Did I scare you last night?"

"I'm scared." Seeing his sister wake up, the fear and grievance that had been wrapped in his strength was out of control. Gong Yuanzheng held his sister's hand: "Sister, you almost... It's all my fault!"

If he hadn't asked Manager Jia to deliver the medicine, my sister wouldn't have...

"I don't blame you." Gong Yunzheng raised his hand and touched his brother's head.

Feeling the gentle warmth on his head, the boy's eyes turned red with bitterness. He acted obediently, with some pleading in his heart: "Sister, you haven't touched my head for a long time. Can you touch it more often? I will be more careful in the future... Please don't abandon me, okay?"

Blinking to hold back the heat in her eyes, Gong Yunzheng smiled gently, her heart filled with mixed pain. She said softly, "Yuanzheng is so well-behaved and considerate. How could I bear to leave you before I even see the day you come of age?"

"Don't cry, it doesn't look good." Don't cry, she felt bad.

The boy wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and smiled: "If you don't like it, don't cry."
