Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

After a body search, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Ziyu were only wearing their underwear. They rolled their eyes at each other and were taken by the guards into separate single cells far apart.

Being afraid of the cold, Gong Ziyu rubbed his arms to keep warm. Looking at the razor, mask, whip, dagger, branding iron, and bowls of poisoned wine placed on the table, he couldn't help swallowing.

Although the elders have ordered us to be careful, who knows if Gong Shangjiao will ignore the orders of the elders and take revenge on his own?

Sometimes when he had a gloomy face, even the elders didn't dare to speak!

Gong Yuanzheng on the other side.

Gong Yuanzheng was very familiar with the torture instruments on the table. He even knew how to use them better than the torturers. He could smell the medicinal properties and symptoms of the poisonous wine from such a distance that he could remain calm.

Therefore, the young man sat cross-legged on the cold floor tiles, closed his eyes and circulated his internal energy.

Instead of wasting time, it is better to practice.

Palace gate dungeon.

Gong Yunzheng showed the guard the Jiaogong token in his hand and entered the dungeon unhindered.

In the dark and damp corridor, the wood in the brazier crackled. Gong Yunzheng was wearing the black fox cloak given to her by Gong Shangjiao. It was the warmest and thickest cloak she had ever worn.

"Oh, that doesn't work! I think it should be like this..."

"Ah? That's not good."

"You~ go! As the elder sister of the little dead fish eyed girl, and a woman of pure and beautiful beauty, I certainly cannot do something that would get me put in solitary confinement by the elders."

Gong Zishang laughed sweetly and fell on Jin Fan. Just as she raised her eyes, which were filled with amorous feelings, the man she was leaning on said with a righteous look on his face, "Second Miss."

"Swoosh" he shot out from Jin Fan's arms! Gong Zishang grabbed the hand of the dignified and gentle woman standing in front of them and said, "Sister Yunzheng, how did you get in?"

Didn't the elders give the order? How did she get in?

Gong Yunzheng told them: "Brother Shang Jiao gave me his token."

"The Second Miss came to see Master Zheng?" Jin Fan dutifully stood in front of the dungeon door. "Forgive me for the indignation, but I cannot let the Second Miss in."

"Brother Ziyu's side..."

Gong Yunzheng paused deliberately. Seeing Gong Zishang and Jin Fan pretending to be indifferent despite clearly wanting to hear what she was hearing, she couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Shangjiao is searching Manager Jia's room right now."

"Gong Shangjiao?" Gong Zishang was puzzled. "Shouldn't he be interrogating Gong Ziyu?"

"Look at how he's suppressing Gong Ziyu in the Blade Hall. What's more, he thinks Gong Ziyu stole his position as Blade Master. If I were Gong Shangjiao, I would definitely take this opportunity to use all kinds of torture to force Gong Ziyu to confess, 'God damn it! I'll let you take my position!' to vent my anger!"

...instead of searching Manager Jia's room as Yun Zheng said.

Jin Fan nodded in agreement.

He also believed that Gong Shangjiao would interrogate Zhi Ren strictly tonight, so he was discussing the method of interrogating Gong Yuanzheng with Gong Zishang.

However, there has been no news of torture from the cell where the blade holder is being held, so they have not taken any action until now.

Gong Yunzheng: “…”

Gong Yunzheng: "You guys... have quite a rich imagination."

Do they have any misunderstandings about Brother Shangjiao?

"Brother Shangjiao said in Zhiren Palace that he wanted to interrogate Manager Jia to avoid any suspicion of framing and causing internal strife within the palace. Now, if we want to get to the bottom of this matter, the fastest way is to investigate Manager Jia, not to torture Brother Ziyu."

Gong Zishang smiled awkwardly: "...like this..."

Just now she was still telling Jin Fan that she wanted to stroke Gong Yuanzheng's feet with feathers, tickle him and draw a naked picture of his upper body... Well, of course, Jin Fan would do this and she would not participate. In short, they were planning to use these tortures to force Gong Yuanzheng to surrender.

The little brat is very concerned about his reputation, so I'm not afraid that he won't tell anyone about it once I use my last resort.

But now, after hearing what sister Yun Zheng said, they were simply more than a level lower than Gong Shangjiao!!!

Explaining too much is useless. People are always willing to believe what they think. In this regard, Gong Yunzheng said to Jin Fan: "Jin..."

"Ahem—" Gong Zishang covered her lips.

"...Brother-in-law, if I were you, I would go to Manager Jia's room right now. Firstly, I can help speed up the search, and secondly, I can monitor them and see all the evidence that Brother Shangjiao and Guard Huang Yu have found."

Jin Fan's expression changed and he looked solemnly at Gong Zishang, who was smiling happily.

Gong Zishang nodded cautiously to him and clenched his fist: "Go ahead. I'm here."

"Then you watch here!" After instructing Gong Zishang, Jin Fan strode out.

Jin Fan was not around. Gong Zishang winked at Gong Yunzheng and said, "Then...what about me next?"

Gong Yunzheng smiled slightly: "If Sister Zishang is willing to give me a favor, Jin Fu will naturally not stop Sister Zishang."

"Since Gong Ziyu won't be tortured, I'll just watch here. After all, I promised Jin...your brother-in-law...hahahahahahahaha..."

Gong Zishang said as he stepped aside, pinched the key between his fingers and gently placed it into Gong Yunzheng's palm. His expression was exaggerated: "Oh my god! I can't see for a while. It must be because the dungeon is too dark. My eyes have also been stained black."

"Sister Yunzheng, where are you? I can't see anything~~"

Holding the key tightly in his hand, Gong Yunzheng bowed to Gong Zishang who was groping in the "darkness", opened the iron door of the dungeon, walked through the long stone corridor, and saw a young man wearing a slim long gown with gold patterns of Epiphyllum.
