"Jin Fan is guarding outside, and the other guards in the courtyard have all left. Can we speak now?"

Tang Yu noticed a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) in Gong Ziyu's study, and she felt a strange sense of familiarity with it.

However, the piano is not the focus right now.

Tang Yu took a sip of tea, the warm tea sliding down her throat. Her eyes lowered slightly, and then she spoke softly.

"Wu Feng sent more than one assassin; there are several more Wu Feng assassins in the female guest's courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu's eyes filled with sorrow.

"how about you?"

Tang Yu looked at the tears in Gong Ziyu's eyes, sighed softly, and then stood up and slowly walked to Gong Ziyu's side.

Seeing Gong Ziyu's stunned expression, Tang Yu squatted down and gently held Gong Ziyu's hand.

"you……"

Gong Ziyu's expression suddenly became somewhat blank. Tang Yu leaned forward and hugged him with her other hand.

As the warm and fragrant body drew near, Gong Ziyu was only shocked for a moment before burying his head in Tang Yu's neck, hot tears streaming down his face.

Seeing the other person's trembling and uneasy body, Tang Yu gently patted Gong Ziyu's back, again and again.

Noticing that Gong Ziyu's emotions had calmed down slightly, she lowered her head and gently kissed Gong Ziyu's forehead.

As if soothed by the gentle kiss, Gong Ziyu's body stopped trembling, and instead, she instinctively hugged the person in front of her even tighter.

After an unknown amount of time, Gong Ziyu's breathing gradually became steady, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

In his half-dreaming state, he murmured, "Don't leave me..."

Tang Yu responded softly, then asked Xiao Qi in her mind.

"Was he a crybaby in his past life?"

“He cried once when you gave birth; he has always been a very gentle person at heart.”

Poor kid, Tang Yu felt quite sorry for him when she saw his handsome face and she cried.

Chapter 6 Cloud Feathers 6

Jin Fan couldn't hear any sound for a long time, and began to worry.

After carefully knocking on the door and entering, Tang Yu gestured for Jin Fan to be quiet.

At this moment, Jin Fan finally saw the scene before him clearly.

Their young master Yu had fallen asleep in the woman's arms. The two were in such an intimate position that they didn't seem like people who had just met.

Although Gong Ziyu was known to be a chivalrous man who cherished women, in reality, every time he went to the brothel, he would only listen to others play the zither and never made any intimate moves with any woman.

However, at this moment, Jin Fan had a feeling.

This woman is probably going to become his boss.

Jin Fan gently closed the door and continued to stand guard outside the courtyard gate.

After what happened last night, Gong Ziyu didn't get any rest all night, and during the day he was busy investigating the truth behind his father and brother's deaths.

Now that I finally get a chance to rest for a while, I'll sleep a little longer.

Gong Ziyu slept for almost an hour, from sleeping on Tang Yu's body to finally lying on Tang Yu's body, he just wouldn't let her leave.

Even after slowly waking up, Gong Ziyu was still a little dizzy, and he had almost forgotten where and when he was.

Only when he heard a woman's soft laughter from above did Gong Ziyu slowly raise his head.

"If I were an assassin, you would have died countless times by now."

Gong Ziyu blushed instantly. He was completely relaxed and slept soundly on Tang Yu's body without any precautions.

Even after waking up, Gong Ziyu was unwilling to leave this warm embrace. He continued to lie on the woman's body and then spoke softly.

“I also find myself very strange. My reason tells me that there are many mysteries surrounding you, and you could very well be deceiving me. I should be wary of everyone in the bridal courtyard.”

But when you got close to me, my body completely trusted you; instinct overcame my reason.

Tang Yu was in a wonderful mood after hearing this, and she even teased the other person on purpose.

"Because liking someone is something that reason cannot control."

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu felt a surge of heat rise to her head, and her cheeks turned bright red.

Despite the cold winter weather, he felt warm all over at that moment.

"And what about you? You dare to tell me anything. Aren't you afraid that I won't believe you? I don't even know what I might do."

Tang Yu grasped Gong Ziyu's hand, and just as Gong Ziyu was at a loss and didn't know how to react, he suddenly felt numb all over and couldn't move.

I want to open my mouth to speak, but it feels like my throat is blocked, and I can't move my whole body. What kind of poison is this?

At this moment, Gong Ziyu was not shocked or angry; he simply did not understand why Tang Yu would do such a thing.

Tang Yu slowly raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the strands of hair in front of Gong Ziyu's cheek. After seeing the tension in the other's eyes, her fingers slid down and began to gently caress the other's cheek.

The delicate touch from his palm made Gong Ziyu's heart race. His Adam's apple bobbed, and a veil of innocent desire clouded his eyes.

Tang Yu burst out laughing instantly; it was kind of cute.

It seems like she's bullying an innocent young man.

Tang Yu leaned down slightly and gently pressed her cheek against the other person's.

"Fool, the only reason I can tell you the truth is because no one can beat me."

The reason I didn't directly resort to force is because I sometimes feel...

Since everyone has mouths, and problems can be solved by talking, why resort to violence?

After saying this, Tang Yu gently stroked Gong Ziyu's palm.

Immediately, Gong Ziyu regained her strength and no longer felt the stiffness that had prevented her from moving.

He sat up abruptly, seemingly still processing what had just happened.

It took Gong Ziyu a while to come to her senses.

"You're already so amazing, why did you come to the palace gate to become a bride-to-be?"

"Except for the red rash on my cousin's face, which was fake, everything else was real."

She didn't want to marry into the family, so I came here in her place to go through the formalities. My original intention was to get rid of me as soon as possible.

This answer brought a smile to Gong Ziyu's face.

"Then isn't your cousin the matchmaker for us?"

Tang Yu found it somewhat amusing to see Gong Ziyu's joyful expression.

"I never said I wanted to marry into the palace. Aren't you getting excited too soon?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu was shocked, and her voice was tinged with grievance.

"You kissed and hugged me so much, you...don't you like me?"

Oh my, what an innocent young man!

Tang Yu's slender fingers gently stroked Gong Ziyu's face again, and after sensing that the other party blushed, she smiled and spoke.

"I've heard you're very chivalrous and gentle with women. You're a regular at brothels. Haven't you seen these kinds of tricks in the world of romance?"

After a two-second shock, Gong Ziyu grabbed Tang Yu's hand and angrily asked her a question.

"You treat other men like this too?"

Tang Yu didn't speak, only smiled faintly.

Gong Ziyu surrendered.

He suddenly reached out and hugged Tang Yu's waist tightly, then rested his head on Tang Yu's neck.

"I've never done this to any other woman. I just like going to the Wan Hua Lou to listen to the zither. Only you can hold me and kiss me."

Please don't treat other men like that in the future, okay?

Hearing the other person's coquettish tone and feeling their arms tightening, Tang Yu gently coaxed them.

"You're so beautiful, of course I like you."

But once a woman marries into the palace, she can't leave. Do you want me to spend my whole life here?

Upon hearing this, Gong Ziyu immediately understood where the problem lay.

He thought of his mother, and of the tragic deaths of his father and brothers.

Nestled in the woman's arms, Gong Ziyu spoke intimately and affectionately.

“I cannot abandon my people, but now that I have become the Blade Master, besides avenging my father and brothers, I should also change the palace gates that imprison people.”

Actually, I've never understood why everyone has to stay here for the rest of their lives, why they have to keep putting up with things?

Wu Feng pressed forward relentlessly. He was able to infiltrate so many brides this time, and he could do it again in the future. Was he destined to live in constant fear and anxiety every time?

"Yu Yu, I want to change things here. Can you please not marry anyone else during this time?"

Tang Yu smiled and patted the other's head. Gong Ziyu was completely honest and straightforward; he would say what he liked directly, just like a clingy big dog.

“I also want to stay at the palace gate for a while, but you are currently observing mourning and cannot marry a bride immediately.”

"In the future, I will help you find the real killer of your father. In return, you will let me access the valley's rare treasures, how about it?"

Chapter 7 Cloud Feathers 7

Gong Ziyu's expression began to look strange. He hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.

"Do you still remember Gong Yuanzheng, who fought with me that night?"

Tang Yu nodded; she had a good memory.
