Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Therefore, Gong Huanyu used this life-saving grace to control Steward Jia.

He forced Steward Jia to tamper with the herbal extract that Gong Ziyu's father took every day.

That day, Gong Hongyu did not take the correct herbal extract.

Therefore, he quickly fell into Gong Huanyu's trap, was poisoned, and was assassinated.

“My brother killed our father. When I pressed him for the truth, he showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he blamed our father for preventing him from taking revenge.”

I understand that passive defense is detrimental to the palace gate, while proactive attack is more beneficial to the palace gate's future.

But why choose this method? How could he kill my father!

Gong Ziyu spoke haltingly, and Tang Yu managed to piece together the truth of that night.

Zheng Nanyi, the bride assassin, was originally just a useless piece.

However, Gong Huanyu quickly used the information from Wuliang Liuhuo to poison Gong Hongyu, the old wielder, and used this as a pretext to transfer Gong Shangjiao away.

Gong Huanyu did all this in order to obtain the Boundless Flowing Fire and take revenge on Wufeng.

"So, after Gong Huanyu confessed the truth tonight, he's been urging you to take the initiative to deal with Wufeng?"

Gong Ziyu nodded sadly; his brother had gone to the point of being paranoid and insane.

He has gone mad in his quest for revenge.

What's frightening is that he feels like he's been affected as well.

"Yu Yu, I don't know if I've been bewitched?"

I utterly despise my brother's methods of revenge; I hate him for killing our father.

But I actually agree with some of the things he said tonight. Wu Feng has been preparing for so many years; this defeat won't cripple him.

"Their strength will grow stronger and stronger, and they will absorb more and more powerful individuals. In the future, the palace gates may not be able to resist them."

Therefore, we must eliminate Wufeng as soon as possible and prevent them from expanding their strength. I think my brother is right.

But I also knew that he was only saying those things to incite me to seek revenge.

Although Gong Ziyu is currently wielding a blade, he has no experience in how to lead the palace and become a decisive leader.

However, his intuition had already given him the answer.

He just lacked confidence at that moment.

"Ziyu, sometimes you don't need to doubt your intuition."

I've believed since I was a child that offense is the best defense, and peace is won through fighting, not endurance.

"You've longed for the outside world since you were little, is that wrong? You're not wrong at all."

Gong Huanyu's method was wrong, but his idea was correct: to deal with Wufeng, one must take the initiative and attack.

But what exactly is this Boundless Flowing Fire?

Isn't a world-destroying power a bit exaggerated?

Having lived in this world for so many years, Tang Yu had always thought it was a world of martial arts.

It seems we'll have to venture into the back mountain as well.

Chapter 12 Cloud Feathers 12

On Gong Shangjiao's side, Shangguan Qian's appearance led to a private conversation between him and his younger brother, Gong Yuanzheng.

"Brother, did you really believe what that woman said?"

She feigns a pitiful appearance, but is actually very cunning and manipulative.

Tonight, Shangguan Qian ran into the brothers Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng at the clinic.

She specifically took out the jade pendant that Gong Shangjiao had left behind when he saved her years ago, successfully attracting Gong Shangjiao's attention.

Taking this opportunity, Shangguan Qian also steered the conversation to the bride's courtyard, saying that she suspected there was something wrong with one of the brides-to-be.

Originally, Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan had already reached a tacit understanding, covering for each other and each carrying out their own tasks.

However, the events of the past two days have made Shangguan Qian feel that Yun Weishan might very well turn around and bite her back.

In order to avoid being in a passive position, Shangguan Qian had to use her own tricks.

Using the Shangguan family's lineage of doctors, she directly stated that Yun Weishan's nail polish was poisonous, suspecting that Yun Weishan's identity was questionable, and asked Gong Shangjiao to be careful.

This news naturally caught the attention of Miyazaki.

"Of course she has problems, but when it comes to sacrificing a pawn to save the king, we can also take advantage of the situation."

"So what's the next step? Arrest Yun Weishan and interrogate him?"

Upon hearing Gong Yuanzheng's words, Gong Shangjiao had not yet figured out what plan to use to lure the snake out of its hole.

A secret letter was suddenly shot onto the wall from a distance by an arrow.

"Brother, be careful!"

Gong Yuanzheng instinctively wanted to protect his brother.

But no other hidden weapons appeared afterward; only the secret letter nailed to the wall stood out conspicuously in the dim light.

Gong Shangjiao's expression quickly turned serious, and Gong Yuanzheng stepped in front of his brother.

"Let me check, just in case it's poisonous!"

After taking down the secret letter, Gong Yuanzheng found nothing unusual; instead, he was shocked by the contents of the letter.

He quickly handed the letter to Miyazaki.

"Brother, is this really true?"

The thin sheet of paper did not reveal who wrote it, but it directly revealed the truth about the death of the old master of blades, Gong Hongyu.

Aside from not revealing Gong Huanyu's current location, everything that needed to be explained was explained, and it also hinted that Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao should take Steward Jia into custody as soon as possible.

Of course, at the end of the letter, the writer also raised his own questions.

"The palace is now in grave danger. If you were to take charge, how would you protect it?"

Who has the ability to both uncover the truth and send a secret letter from their residence without being discovered by the guards?

Several guesses popped into Miyazaki's mind, but he felt they were unlikely.

The person who did this was naturally Tang Yu, and the contents of the letter were Gong Ziyu's own idea.

He can't fight alone; if he wants to deal with Wufeng, he'll definitely need to unite the palace forces.

The elders were strict and rigid, and it was impossible for them to agree with his radical ideas.

However, among the young and capable members of the Gong family, there are only the brothers Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng.

The two sides had been at odds for a long time, and Gong Ziyu really didn't know what choice they would make, so he made this attempt to test them.

If these two discover the truth, they should immediately report to the elders and have Lady Wu Ji arrested.

This shows that they have different paths and cannot cooperate.

This was Gong Ziyu testing him.

He wanted to know what the two brothers would do next.

Over the next few days, the two brothers secretly took control of Steward Jia and extracted the truth about Baicao Cui from him. It turned out that Gong Huanyu was the one who made it.

By this point, the two were convinced that most of the contents of the secret letter were true.

So, what's next? Exposure?

We should have a proper talk with the person behind this and discuss their motives.

While Gong Shangjiao was still struggling with his decision, another secret letter arrived, and the two sides agreed to meet in the dungeon.

When Gong Ziyu and Tang Yu appeared in front of Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng, the two brothers were quite surprised.

However, Miyazaki accepted it quickly. He had actually made this guess before, but at the time he thought it was absurd.

Gong Yuanzheng had never considered this possibility and asked in shock.

"Gong Ziyu, what tricks are you playing?"

"Before Father died, he actually intended you to be his successor, Gong Shangjiao. No matter how many disagreements we have, we should share the same desire to protect our clan."

If you have no objections, let's put on a play...

The two sides talked privately for more than an hour, and finally Gong Shangjiao asked Gong Ziyu a question.

What is it about this Miss Tang that you can trust?

So far, the biggest question Gong Shangjiao has about this plan is Tang Yu.

How can we determine whether this woman is a friend or foe?

Of course, this question was asked in front of Tang Yu.

Given the risks involved, Gong Shangjiao really needed to confirm the reason for Gong Ziyu's trust.

"Often, in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are just paper tigers."

After saying this with a smile, Tang Yu moved swiftly, as fast as a blur, and in the blink of an eye, she had darted through the room.

With a gentle wave of her hand, a breeze seemed to brush past her sleeves, yet it carried an imposing aura.

In an instant, the three men present seemed to be bound tightly by an invisible force, unable to move.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were frozen in place.

Gong Yuanzheng's eyes widened, and he frantically rolled his eyes, casting a worried glance at Gong Shangjiao.

I wanted to speak, but my throat felt blocked, and I couldn't make a sound.

In contrast, Gong Ziyu puffed out his chest slightly, his face full of pride.

He stared intently at Tang Yu, with only one thought in his mind: his Yu Yu was amazing!

As for Gong Shangjiao, he was indeed initially intimidated by Tang Yu's sudden and powerful strength.
