In the evening, after Gong Yuanzheng had taken care of Zheng Gong's affairs and had just laid down to rest, the door creaked open.

Jiuning closed his eyes and groped his way to the bed very skillfully. He lifted the quilt and lay down in it. He searched for the source of heat, rubbed it twice, and his breathing gradually became steady.

"Thank you for your hard work today. You stayed with me in the cell all day. Starting tomorrow, please don't ignore me, okay? If you don't answer me, I'll take it as your consent."

Gong Yuanzheng smiled mischievously and held the person in his arms. He was sure that Jiuning was fast asleep and could not answer him, so if she did not object, it meant that she agreed.

Bending down, he gently placed a kiss on Jiuning's forehead...

On the second day, Gong Shangjiao found several elders and explained the Three Realms Trial to them. This was something that all the bloodlines of the palace had to go through. Although they were hesitant, they finally agreed.

The only person who was dissatisfied with the whole thing was Gong Ziyu. Instead of going to find Gong Zishang, he took Jin Fan to the guest house.

These days, he would go to see Yun Weishan every day, take her for a walk at the palace gate, and tell her some interesting stories about the palace.

And today he even told others that he was going to the back mountain to take part in the trial.

"Trial? That must be dangerous! Can I come with you?"

"I'm worried about you..."

"If you don't let me go, I will follow you secretly."

Gong Ziyu looked hesitant, but finally stopped.

"The back mountain is full of dangers. You... can't even enter the mountain gate. Stay in the guest house and wait for me to pick you up."

The two chatted until very late, and Gong Ziyu sent the person back. Just as he walked out of the guest house, he was stopped by someone.

"Brother Ziyu..."

Gong Shangjiao's voice was gentle, but it gave people a bone-chilling chill.

Gong Ziyu was surprised! Then she raised her hand to greet him and tried to pass by him.

"Brother Shangjiao...it's okay...I'll leave first then."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange smile appeared on that icy face.

"Brother Zi Yu, don't leave so quickly. I have something else to say to you!"

"you say···"

Gong Shangjiao took two steps forward, bringing the two of them closer together, and lowered his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it, and even Jin Fan, who was standing beside them, couldn't hear it clearly.

"Brother Zi Yu, the back mountain is the palace's secret, how could you tell it to others? If the elders knew about this..."

"You're spying on me!"

Gong Ziyu widened his eyes in disbelief and reached out to push Gong Shangjiao away.

"Now that the other brides have been sent away from the guest house, but if the information verifying their identities is not transmitted back within a day, they can no longer be considered as members of the palace. Is there anything wrong with me sending people to monitor them?"

"you--"

Gong Shangjiao didn't take Gong Ziyu's anger seriously at all, but continued to speak in a low voice.

"You still want to be a Blade Master? You can't even keep the most basic secrets... Return to Yugong and immediately go to the back mountain for trial, otherwise I will report this matter to the elders for a decision."

"you--"

He glanced at Gong Ziyu with the corner of his eye, then turned and left.

"I'll only give you half an hour, so you better hurry up."

···

On the second day, Yun Weishan waited in the guest house for a long time, but Gong Ziyu did not come, and the sun was about to set.

The matter in the back mountain was too mysterious. Wufeng had no news. She asked several servants in the palace gate, but no one knew. So she could only get information from Gong Ziyu.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Weishan was afraid that Gong Ziyu would not come today. He had no choice but to take a risk and tried his best to avoid the guards along the way and came to Yu Palace.

"Jin Fan...Jin Fan...look at me!"

Jin Fan walked forward with a frown on his face, his whole body revealing worry. Gong Zishang, who was standing beside him, saw that he was distracted, so he came directly to Jin Fan and put his arm around him.

"Zi Yu has already gone for the trial, and you don't have any errands to do, so shouldn't you have a good rest?"

As Gong Zishang spoke, he leaned towards Jin Fan, putting his entire weight on him.

Jin Fan wanted to push away, but he didn't know where to push the other person with his raised hand. No matter where he pushed, it was wrong. Finally, he gave up helplessly, simply raised his hand, and walked forward quickly.

"You...you stay away from me."

"Miss Yun, why are you here in Yu Palace?"

As the two of them were pulling and tugging, they saw Yun Weishan standing in the middle of the road.

"Sister Zishang, I made an appointment with Gong Ziyu yesterday, but he didn't come today, so I came to see him."

"Ah? Don't you know that Ziyu has already gone to the back mountain?"

As soon as she mentioned the back mountain, Gong Zishang covered her mouth, realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have.
