Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Zheng Palace.

A guard named Huang Yu came to report that the Council of Elders wanted to see him.

Gong Yuanzheng, who was studying the poison formula, looked at his sister who was reading a book on the couch.

Putting down the recipe in his hand, Gong Yuanzheng said expectantly: "It's finally here."

Gong Yunzheng was puzzled: "What?"

"Sister, I mean there's going to be a good show next."

After a brief thought, Gong Yunzheng guessed: "Is it targeting Brother Zi Yu's position as the Blade Wielder?"

"Yeah." Gong Yuanzheng nodded, feeling a little unhappy that his sister had been humiliated by Gong Ziyu, so why was she still calling him brother!

He was unhappy, and the expectant smile on his face turned cold and hard.

When they arrived, Gong Zishang had also arrived. They looked down on each other and rolled their eyes at each other. Jin Fan, who was caught in the middle, felt embarrassed and went forward to push the door.

Except for Gong Liushang, who was paralyzed in bed and unable to manage affairs, and the young Gong Jingshang, all other influential people in the palace were present.

There is a strong sense of oppression in the Blade Hall.

Seeing everyone present, Gong Shangjiao said, "Miss Zishang, Sister Yunzheng, and Brother Yuanzheng are all here. I would like to ask the three elders to stay a little longer. I have something important to discuss with you all."

In response, Gong Ziyu stepped forward and said, "The three elders are old, so let them go back and rest. If you have anything important to say, you can speak to me directly. Although I am young and inexperienced, I am already a master swordsman. Please be careful and modest, Master Jiao."

Undeterred by his status as a swordsman, Gong Shangjiao remained polite and said, "This is exactly what I want to discuss."

Knowing that he was going to cause trouble, Gong Ziyu rolled his eyes impatiently.

Gong Shangjiao continued, saying that he did not agree with Gong Ziyu taking the position of Blade Wielder.

As soon as these words were spoken, coupled with his prestige in the palace, the entire hall fell into anxiety. The three elders looked at each other, somewhat unsure of how to deal with the situation.

Gong Shangjiao's prestige in the palace is higher than that of the previous young master Gong Huanyu. If he was not in Jiuchen Valley on the day when the old Zhiren and the young master had the accident, they would also have chosen him to be the Zhiren.

Seeing that his brother was struggling, Gong Zishang stepped forward and said, "If you oppose the use of the blade, there must be a reason, right?"

As she put on her ladylike airs, her majesty gradually spread around her: "Gong Ziyu fully meets the conditions for [Inheritance in Absentia]. Are you planning to violate the ancestral precepts and rules of the Gong family?"

Gong Yunzheng's eyebrows twitched, she had already anticipated what would happen next.

As expected, when Gong Shangjiao doubted whether Gong Ziyu really met the conditions for [inheritance in absentia], Gong Zishang disdained to recite the ancestral precepts and family rules, and after excluding Gong Yuanzheng, who was not yet twenty years old, and Gong Yunzheng, who was a woman, Gong Shangjiao stated the most important condition -

The focus of the third condition is the descendants of the palace.

The descendants who stayed at the palace gate were not the descendants who stayed there, but the descendants of the palace gate.

The whole audience fell silent as these words were spoken.

Realizing what the other party was going to do, Gong Zishang frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say!"

Stop hiding your fox tail here and going around in circles!

Gong Yuanzheng explained with a hint of sarcasm: "My brother means that if Gong Ziyu is not a descendant of the palace, then this inheritance qualification is ridiculous."

Jin Fan was confused and shouted, "Gong Yuanzheng, stop talking nonsense!"

The boy's expression immediately changed: "Who the hell are you? How dare you speak here?"

Gong Zishang wanted to protect him, but he didn't know how.

Seeing this, Gong Yunzheng said softly but with dignity, "Since you are not worthy, let Jin Fan go."

He easily lost his mind and forgot his identity. Although he was eager to protect his master, he would only become a burden if he stayed here.

Gong Ziyu looked at Gong Yunzheng standing opposite him in disbelief, unable to believe that she would actually say to break his arm at this moment.

Sister Ayun...is it true that at critical moments, she always stands on Gong Yuanzheng's side without hesitation?

Even knowing that he was in danger of being suspected by others, he was still left isolated and helpless?!

Even if Sister Ayun wanted Gong Shangjiao to take the position of the swordsman, even if she wanted to deal with him for Gong Yuanzheng, it would be better to attack him in secret than to do it openly to make him sad!

If you are going to deal with him sooner or later, why should you be so nice to him on weekdays?

Jin Fan looked at the elders above him and saw them nod slightly. Although he was worried, he could only hold the hilt of the knife tightly and retreat.

Seeing that Jin Fan could only walk out in shame with his tail between his legs, Gong Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gong Ziyu who looked angry and hurt.

Idiot, you can't even see your sister's good intentions, you have a brain in vain.

The door to the Blade Hall was closed, and the young man continued, "I think many people here know that Gong Ziyu gave birth prematurely before the tenth month of pregnancy. Before Madam Lan married into the palace, there were rumors that she had a lover she couldn't let go of."

At this point, he raised a dark question that could knock someone into the mud: "So, was Gong Ziyu really born prematurely? Or was she born at full term? It's really hard to say."

There is reason to doubt what Gong Yuanzheng said. Madam Lan gave birth to Gong Ziyu prematurely after marrying into the palace, and died of depression a few years later. In addition, Madam Lan's experience before marrying into the palace made Gong Ziyu's life experience doubtful, and the servants secretly used it as a topic of conversation.

It’s just that Old Zhiren is very majestic and no one dares to say it openly.

Gong Ziyu never expected that they would use this to attack him and slander his mother's reputation!

Unable to bear it any longer, Gong Ziyu strode forward in anger, grabbed Gong Yuanzheng's collar, and was ready to teach him a lesson.

The elder shouted angrily.

Gong Shangjiao stepped forward to separate the two men, slapped Gong Yuanzheng, and paused for a moment before slapping Gong Ziyu with his backhand. However, as the young man stared at him with dissatisfaction, the slap landed on his face with such force that he bent over.

"Gong Shangjiao, you're crazy!" Gong Zishang stepped forward immediately.

Holding the hoop and the blade, he really doesn't take people seriously!

Seeing the situation developing in an unpredictable direction, Elder Hua stood up and angrily scolded, "Enough! This is ridiculous!"

Do these youngsters think the Blade Hall is a market where they can brawl freely?! It's completely lawless!

Standing up straight, Gong Ziyu glared at Gong Shangjiao, and when he saw Gong Yuanzheng with a provocative smile on his face behind him, he became even more furious!

They doubted his life experience, slandered his mother's reputation, and now they were even holding him, a blade wielder. It was as if his dignity was being trampled on the ground. Gong Ziyu looked at the two people opposite him with hatred.

Even though he was slapped, Gong Yuanzheng still couldn't help but feel happy that Gong Ziyu was also slapped.

Was he so angry just because he was slapped? But this was just a small profit. Next, he would make this guy who secretly harmed his sister and stole his brother's position as a swordsman pay the price!
