Jiu Ning wanted to leave. This was the palace's internal affairs, and she didn't want to get involved. But the elders forced her to stay, and she didn't know why.

The man called Yue Gongzi took advantage of the crowd and secretly looked at Yun Weishan several times, which made Jiu Ning suspect that there was some kind of relationship between them.

And that girl named Xue Chongzi also kept looking at her in the corner. She really had no time to rest!

Mrs. Wuji had changed her clothes, but the blood that could not be stopped still quickly dyed her clothes red.

Her face was pale, her cheeks were rapidly sunken, and her dropping body temperature indicated that she would not live long.

"Aunt, what happened? Why did you appear in the Elders' House?"

Gong Ziyu held Madam Wu Ji's hand, squeezing it tighter and tighter.

"Let me speak first! Madam Wuji will fill in the rest later."

Madam Wu Ji was barely breathing and could not tell much about the incident, so Gong Shangjiao had to speak first.

"Do you remember the token that Manager Jia had? The guards were chasing a woman. When they got to the Yu Palace, she disappeared.

Also, a few days ago, when Yuanzheng was attacked, he followed the woman in black and encountered Gong Huanyu. Among the Yu palace members, the person I was most suspicious of was Madam Wu Ji, so I sent people to follow her from a distance."

Gong Yuanzheng was shocked all over, and reached out to touch the medical book in his arms, feeling uncomfortable.

"Today, Madam Wu Ji came to the Elders' Hall. Elder Yue personally sent the guards away, and no one saw what happened in the house. When the door opened, Elder Yue had already fallen to the ground. Am I right?"

After Madam Wu Ji nodded, Gong Shangjiao continued.

"Judging from Elder Yue's wounds, he must have been killed by Gong Huanyu's sword. He was killed with one blow. At the end, he even left the words Wufeng on the wall, probably to put the blame on Wufeng.

But Wufeng is not innocent either. After all, it was Gong Huanyu who conspired with Madam Wuji, and Madam Wuji was the assassin who sneaked into the palace twenty years ago."

"What? Auntie is Wufeng's man? Gong Shangjiao, do you have any evidence?"

Gong Ziyu's eyes were red, with a mixture of disbelief, anger, sadness, embarrassment, and all kinds of emotions mixed together.

Tonight, Yun Weishan, whom he likes, betrays him and wants to escape. His brother is the murderer who killed his father. At this time, even his aunt who has taken care of him for many years...

"That token should have belonged to Madam Wu Ji!"

Gong Shangjiao gestured to everyone to look at Madam Wu Ji, who not only did not deny it but also nodded.

"May I ask Madam Wuji, what exactly happened on the night that Old Zhiren had the accident?"

Mrs. Wu Ji first shook her head, looked at the roof, and recalled the face of Old Zhiren.

"That night when I went to Zhiren's room, he was already dead. Zheng Nanyi also fell to the ground, lifeless. Only Gong Huanyu was sitting beside him.

He threatened my brother's life and asked me to help him conceal it. I had no choice but to do it.

Afterwards, Zheng Gong became suspicious and asked Gong Ziyu for someone. I secretly told him, and that's why he hid away overnight."

Madam Wu Ji's voice became smaller and smaller, and she had to take several breaths before she could finish a sentence.

"After that, what did Gong Huanyu ask you to do? What made you want to leave the palace overnight?"

"He wanted the Cloud Light Sword in Gong Yuanzheng's hand. That day, Gong Yuanzheng followed me. It was an accident, but it allowed him to see the power of the Cloud Light Sword."
