Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

He remained eerily calm throughout the entire process.

He didn't say anything about Gong Yuanzheng's actions.

Standing up, Xue Zhongzi returned to Gong Yunzheng and handed the jade pendant to her: "Your jade pendant."

One step faster than Gong Yunzheng, Gong Yuanzheng took the jade pendant and said, "This jade pendant is stained with Wufeng's dirty aura. I will take it back and clean it before giving it to you, sister."

It is obviously unlucky to be touched by my sister after being touched by a dirty man.

Gong Yunzheng nodded and said softly, "Alright."

Yuki Shigeko looked at the struggling man again.

This is Wu Feng? Gong Men's mortal enemy.

"Wu Feng's men came to assassinate you?" Xue Chongzi was puzzled. "You have never left the palace. How did he know your identity?"

Gong Yunzheng hinted at something: "Inside and outside should cooperate."

Xue Chongzi's face darkened. Just as he was about to propose bringing this Wufeng man back to the palace for interrogation, a whistling arrow flashed a golden light across the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, several golden lights shot straight into the sky.

Gong Yuanzheng was surprised: "Something big happened at the palace gate!"

"The location of the first flare isn't far from us." Xue Chongzi looked at the location of the flare and said, "There must be palace guards there. It's not convenient for me to go with you. You go first, and I'll follow in the dark and adapt to the situation."

Gong Yunzheng felt something was wrong: "There's something I need your help with."

Xue Zhongzi: "Whatever it is, just tell me."

She looked at Jackdaw Qi and said, "After this man dies, his body needs to be brought back to the palace gate. The expedition team will arrive soon. Until then, I would like to ask you to guard here."

The operation failed and the entire Jiuchen Valley was under martial law. Wufeng would not make any major moves next time. It was not dangerous for Xue Chongzi to stay here for the time being.

Xue Zhongzi agreed: "Okay."

When Gong Yunzheng and Gong Yuanzheng arrived at the location where the signal arrows were fired, Jin Fu and several guards were being cautious in front of Gong Ziyu, and Gong Ziyu looked unhappy, obviously thinking that they were meddling.

"Gong Yuanzheng?!" Gong Ziyu was shocked when he saw the young man following Gong Yunzheng. "Why are you here?"

Where is Xue Chongzi?

Seeing that nothing serious had happened, Gong Yuanzheng remained calm and composed: "You abducted my sister from the palace. Where do you think I should be?"

"How can we kidnap someone? We just came out to see the lanterns." Gong Ziyu would never admit it.

The young man raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with sarcasm and danger. "Did you let the swordless man attack me while you were watching the lanterns? Gong Ziyu, you're really good at giving the enemy loopholes to exploit, as someone who wields a blade."

"Wu Feng attacks Sister Ayun?!"

Gong Ziyu was shocked and hurried to Gong Yunzheng. He looked at her carefully and asked with concern, "Is Sister Ayun hurt?"

Gong Yunzheng shook his head: "No."

"How did Wufeng know Sister Ayun's identity?" Gong Ziyu thought quickly, "and why did he want to assassinate her?"

Yun Weishan felt a tightness in his heart.

"It's not killing, it's..."

Gong Yuanzheng suddenly stopped talking, pursed his lips and said no more in annoyance.

He can't say!

Then he glared at Gong Ziyu: "Gong Ziyu, the responsibility for this matter is on you, don't think you can get away with it so easily!"

Gong Ziyu countered: "The elders will judge right and wrong, not you."

Gong Yuanzheng: "Humph, I want to see if the elders will still stand on your side this time."

When he didn't hear his two younger brothers bickering, Gong Yunzheng asked Jin Fu, "What happened here before?"

Jin Fu clasped his fists and saluted, "Second Miss, Miss Yun Weishan entered the Wanhua Tower a while ago, and Zhiren followed her in. I was waiting outside to protect Zhiren, but I found that the two had not come out. Fearing that something might happen, I fired a signal arrow to indicate an emergency."

"Wanhua Tower?" Gong Yunzheng looked towards the bustling building opposite and happened to meet the eyes of the woman in purple standing by the window.

The woman was elegant and charming, with affectionate and gentle eyes and a gentle smile on her beautiful face.

She nodded at her as if in greeting.

The next second, Gong Yuanzheng stepped forward to block the purple-clothed woman's sight, looking at her with unfriendly eyes, with a hidden weapon in his hand.

Is this woman of the night qualified to look directly at her sister?!

The woman in purple was frightened and closed the window.

"A dirty person, even looking at her is dirty." Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Ziyu sarcastically: "Gong Ziyu, you and Yun Weishan really don't mind dirt, you can set foot anywhere."

Seeing Gong Yuanzheng's rude remarks and even implicating innocent people, Gong Ziyu was furious and shouted, "Watch your mouth! Ayun and I are not who you think we are! Neither is Ziyi!"

Gong Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows calmly: "Who else could she be in a place like this?"

"You behaved promiscuously before marriage, and after getting engaged, you brought your fiancée to a place like this. What's your excuse?"

"You!" Gong Ziyu had no way to defend himself.

God knows, he has never touched Zi Yi at all!

But even if he argued about this kind of thing, who would believe it?

Really! It was so unfair that he died...

At this time, Gong Zishang and Jin Fan also rushed over.

Seeing that Gong Ziyu was surrounded by a large circle of guards, and he was arguing with Gong Yuanzheng, who was supposed to be at the palace gate, the two looked at each other in confusion.

At the same time, a thought flashed through my mind - Oh no!

Yun Weishan stepped forward and defended Gong Ziyu: "I wanted to see what kind of person Zi Yi was that Zhiren mentioned. It's my fault, not Zhiren's."

"Ayun..." Gong Ziyu was moved when he saw the woman who believed in and protected him.

"Heh," Gong Yuanzheng just found it funny and looked at Yun Weishan, "That's why I said you don't mind the dirt. Instead of being in a cheap place, why don't you just solve the problem directly at its source?"

According to the palace rules, if Gong Ziyu married Yun Weishan and dared to come to such a place, the Council of Elders would take action without Yun Weishan's intervention.

She used this excuse as an excuse, treating him like a three-year-old child?

Gong Zishang suddenly retorted, "As women, everyone here has a miserable life. Don't be so harsh."

Gong Yuanzheng was shocked and couldn't understand: "You compare yourself to them?"

Did she take the wrong medicine?!

"No, what I mean is that they are also poor people..." Gong Zishang couldn't explain it clearly.

Gong Yuanzheng, with his dead eyes, is he ready to engage in a debate with the scholars?!

Not long after, another team of palace gate guards arrived. The scale of their presence attracted the attention of the town's residents.

Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Gong Yunzheng said to Gong Yuanzheng, "You go there yourself with Jin Fu and bring the body back to the palace gate."

She kept Shangguan Qian around because he was useful, but that didn't mean she didn't need to intimidate him.

When Yun Weishan heard Gong Yunzheng asking Gong Yuanzheng to take people to bring the body of the man who attacked her back to the palace gate, she lowered her eyes, and subconsciously bent her fingers in her sleeves and rubbed them with her fingertips.

Fortunately, Jackdaw didn't go.

Otherwise... She looked at Gong Yuanzheng's departing back, feeling both relieved and sad.

This time it was someone else, will it be her next time?

From now on, she will be walking on thin ice even more cautiously in the palace.
