Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

The faint light in my hand illuminates the way forward.

Gong Yunzheng returned to Zheng Palace and entered the study to look for medical books collected by successive masters of Zheng Palace.

In the silent night, the sound of wings and fanning was heard. Gong Yunzheng turned around and saw a Shanghai Dongqing parked on the windowsill.

She walked over, touched the Saker Falcon's soft and smooth feathers, and then took the mailbox off its leg.

[The mountain in front of the palace gate is under martial law. I can't get through. Are you okay?]

It's a letter from Yuki Shigeko.

Gong Yunzheng picked up his pen and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. There's a lot going on during the Ghost Festival, so thank you for your help today."

After the Saker Falcon flew away, Gong Yunzheng sat on the small couch and looked through the medical books she had found. After a long time, she couldn't find the herbs she was looking for that could cause people to show signs of poisoning.

The confidentiality of the back mountain cannot be underestimated.

The medicinal herbs used in the second domain trial will never appear in any book records in the front mountain.

However, many people in the front mountain still don’t know the existence of the back mountain. Why would Wufeng, who is far away from the palace gate and has no entanglement with the palace gate, use the medicine with the same origin as the second domain trial to control his assassins?

She remembered something that had puzzled her two years ago.

Baicaocui is only circulated among the direct relatives within the palace. How did Wufeng know about it?

These two things are definitely not coincidences. Either there is an insider hidden by Wu Feng in the palace, or Wu Feng has a special connection with the palace that is unknown to the public.

Meeting Master Yue tonight brought her back to the memories of two years ago.

Two years ago, the female assassin Wu Feng sneaked into the palace to steal Baicao Cui and was poisoned by Yuan Zheng's smoke. After being rescued by Elder Yue, she was taken to the dungeon for interrogation.

As soon as she got the news, she went to see her in the dungeon.

She was a young girl with a fresh and tender face. She had a pair of bright and beautiful eyes. When she stared at people, she was full of unwillingness to admit defeat and stubbornness.

She only asked her name from the assassin's mouth.

lark.

Seeing that he could not ask any other questions, Gong Yunzheng lit the smoke in his hand and knocked down Yunque who was tied to the rack.

She already had a plan in mind before she came to see Yunque.

For Yunque to steal Baicaocui, it must be that someone among Wufeng's senior executives was poisoned, which was enough to drive the assassin to take great risks and enter the palace to steal the medicine. In addition, the unusual news that Wufeng had been completely silent in the past few months made Gong Yunzheng certain who the poisoned person was.

In Wufeng, except for the leader, I am afraid no one has such power.

She replaced the herbal extract on Yun Que's body with poisonous pills and put a Gu on her body.

She took great pains to find this Gu from ancient books, and asked her brother Shangjiao, who was away from home all year round, to find it. She took good care of it along the way and finally brought it back to the palace.

The Gu is composed of the son and mother Gu.

The one placed on Yunque was the mother Gu, and she also had a baby Gu on her body.

The mother Gu sleeps between the hairs of the skylark. If it does not enter her body, it will be awakened by the poisonous smell. When it encounters a person who is poisoned, the mother Gu will instantly transfer to that person's body and will never come out. At the same time, it will also release a smell. Only people who have close contact with that person will be infected by the smell, which is used to attract the return of the child Gu.

And with the help of the sub-Gu in her hand, when the people in Wufeng sneak into the palace again, the sub-Gu will be activated instantly when it smells the person carrying the scent. The sub-Gu will face the direction of the mother Gu and will never change until it merges with the mother Gu.

This way, she could find the leader of the Wufeng.

The Baicaocui that she replaced was also part of her plan.

If Yunque successfully returns to Wufeng after stealing the medicine, the leader of Wufeng will surely die after taking the Baicaocui that has been replaced with poison.

In this way, the backup plan for the mother-child Gu is useless.

On the contrary, the mother-child Gu hidden behind the Baicaocui plan can also play a role.

……

Gong Yunzheng told his brother not to take anything from Yunque and that the interrogation would end there.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, the Council of Elders ordered the execution of Yun Que. Before Gong Yunzheng was ready to speak out to protect his men as planned, Master Yue spoke first and said that he was still short of a medicine man in the back mountain, and the assassin Wufeng, who was the mortal enemy of the palace, was just the right person.

The plan was interrupted and Gong Yunzheng discovered that something was wrong with Master Yue.

She asked the elders for the task of recording the transportation of supplies to the back mountain.

Thinking that she was weak and only suitable for mental work, the three elders agreed very kindly.

From then on, the supplies transported to the back mountain would be sent to her for her review every day. Finally one day, Gong Yunzheng discovered the jewelry design drawings hidden in the interlayer of the box.

She deduced Master Yue's feelings for Yun Que based on the drawings, and learned from Elder Yue what medicine Master Yue was currently experimenting with.

So, she invited Master Yue to the front mountain and made a deal with him that he would make medicine for her, and she would keep his plan a secret.

Of course she would keep it a secret.

Because her plan was also to make Yunque leave the palace.

In her opinion, Master Yue's plan was naive and pathetic. Given Wu Feng's suspicion and cruelty, even if it was a corpse, they would take it back and bury it in the ground themselves to ensure death.

Young Master Yue's action also saved her a lot of trouble. She didn't have to think of a way to send Yun Que out of the palace, and the problem of not daring to let Yuan Zheng make the medicine could be solved by threatening Young Master Yue.

At the same time, she knew it in her heart.

Young Master Yue fell in love with Skylark, so the Baicaocui on Skylark that was replaced with poison would definitely be discovered by Young Master Yue and replaced with real Baicaocui.

In other words, Baicaocui's move is scrapped from now on, and the only plan that can be carried out is the mother-child Gu plan.

As she expected, on the third night after Yunque was hung on the palace gate, Wufeng's men took her away in public, and there was no news of her since then.

Although there was no news about Yunque, Gong Yunzheng could imagine her ending.

The assassin who sneaked into the palace gate stayed there for quite some time, and then pretended to be dead and was rescued by Wufeng's men. Such a person has too many variables, and given the suspicious leader Wufeng, he would not spare her life.

Gong Yunzheng has been waiting all these years.

As long as there are assassins sneaking in through the palace gate, they will definitely pass the news outside. Once they attract higher-level monsters or ghosts that can have close contact with the Wufeng leader, the sub-Gu in her hand will be awakened.

Yun Weishan, there is no smell of mother Gu on Shangguan Qian's body.

Their level is far from enough. Even the superiors they come into contact with who have this smell on their bodies cannot pass on to them because the smell can only be transmitted through the mother Gu.
