It's clear that the two of them don't have a good relationship.

What do you think of his looks?

Seeing Gong Ziyu's anxious expression, Tang Yu spoke up curiously.

"He's quite good-looking, or do you want me to think he's ugly?"

Gong Ziyu's face darkened.

"Then you won't fall in love with him, will you? He controls almost all the medicinal herbs in the palace, and he's also very skilled at using poison."

If you want to come into contact with all the rare and poisonous plants in the palace, you'll definitely have to get to know him. I'm a little worried..."

Upon hearing Gong Ziyu's words, the tips of his ears turned bright red.

How could he possibly say such a shameful thing!

After listening, Tang Yu finally understood what Gong Ziyu had been struggling with; he was actually worried about this kind of thing.

It's so funny.

There are plenty of good-looking men in the world, do you expect me to like them all? For a couple to stay together for a lifetime, besides liking each other, the most important thing is whether they can get along comfortably.

Gong Ziyu, you are very beautiful, and you respect me very much. Don't underestimate yourself. With so many good qualities, you shine brightly in my eyes.

When the person in his arms said these words, their eyes were like the warm sunshine of spring.

Gong Ziyu has seen many kinds of eyes since she was a child: indifferent, critical, sorrowful, disdainful, gentle...

He knew how many people looked down on him, and he also knew that many people doubted his background.

Even deep down, he despises himself.

Sometimes I think, I should just give up on myself.

Anyway, everyone thinks it's perfectly normal for a spoiled brat to be a playboy.

But Tang Yu's eyes were different; their warmth and inclusiveness made him feel free.

The person in front of him will never look down on him.

Gong Ziyu's eyes were slightly red, and he raised his hand to cover Tang Yu's eyes.

Are you sad?

Tang Yu did not push the other person away; she felt that Gong Ziyu was about to cry.

That's strange, she was being very gentle just now.

“Yu Yu, don’t look at me like that, or I’ll forget my own worth.”

Her voice was hoarse when she spoke, as if she were already sobbing.

“I was reckless and ignorant, I didn’t study or practice martial arts seriously, and I used to cause trouble. I let down my father and brothers and never cherished them. I’m sorry to them…”

Tang Yu instantly understood the other person's guilt and regret.

She gently hugged the other person and listened to their murmurs.

He wanted to tell the other person all the things he had grown up with since childhood, all the regrets he had felt after every argument.

Thus, Tang Yu learned about Gong Ziyu's life from childhood to adulthood.

After a long, long time, Gong Ziyu asked softly.

"What do you think happened last night? Those assassins without blades clearly had no ability to get close to my father's yard last night."

At this point, Tang Yu had learned everything that had happened at the palace gate from Gong Ziyu.

Except for the secrets on his back that couldn't be revealed, Gong Ziyu basically told everyone.

"It's certain that Baicao Cui was replaced, otherwise your father and brothers wouldn't have been poisoned, but I don't think Gong Yuanzheng is the problem."

Gong Yuanzheng truly wanted to support Gong Shangjiao to rise to power, and he would not choose the day when Gong Shangjiao left.

If you think about it carefully, the position of the blade should originally belong to Miyazaki.

However, due to his departure, the palace gates initiated the absentee succession, making you the one to wield the blade.

So, is Gong Yuanzheng a fool? Did he support you to rise to power?

Gong Ziyu silently leaned against Tang Yu's chest.

He certainly understood this principle, but sometimes the pain was too intense, making it impossible for him to remain calm.

“You’re right, they have no reason to do such a thing.”

They hated me, but they always respected my father.

At times like these, words are often inadequate.

Tang Yu glanced at the guqin again.

"Would you like to hear the piano?"

Gong Ziyu looked surprised, and the next second, he got up and took the zither.

"Yu Yu's piano playing must be very moving."

After Tang Yu took the zither and tested its tone, she plucked it with a little force, and the sound flowed from her fingertips like a clear stream.

The gentle, soothing sound of the piano, carrying a subtle warmth, flowed slowly through the quiet room.

Gong Ziyu closed his eyes slightly, his brows gradually relaxed, and his tense body slowly relaxed in the embrace of the music.

At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had softened.

By the time everything was over, it was almost dark.

Gong Ziyu began escorting Tang Yu back to the courtyard where the female guest was staying.

The two walked along the long corridor, and Gong Ziyu spoke with a smile.

"It's kind of funny, but I always feel like I heard your music in my dreams before I even met you."

"Maybe we knew each other in a past life."

This answer made Gong Ziyu beam with joy.

“Then we must have been husband and wife in our past life; it was a match made in heaven.”

Finally, Gong Ziyu personally escorted Tang Yu back to her residence.

As they were about to say goodbye, Gong Ziyu leaned close to Tang Yu's ear and whispered something.

"Although Yu Yu is very powerful, your safety is the most important thing. Don't put yourself in danger just to test the Wu Feng assassin."

After an afternoon of conversation, Gong Ziyu learned that Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian had a problem.

However, during this special period, both of them felt it was not advisable to alert the enemy.

There are many problems inside the palace gates.

Sometimes, the exposure of an assassin can lead to a chain reaction of discovery.

Therefore, there is no need to expose these two people for the time being.

Perhaps more people will be exposed.

"Don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure I can do."

If you investigate which part of the Herbal Extract process went wrong, the culprit will definitely try to stop you from finding the truth!

After saying goodbye, Tang Yu returned to the female guest's courtyard.

Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan then had a private chat.

"I can't gauge Miss Yuan's abilities. Why don't you give it a try?"

Yun Weishan found it strange.

"From what I've observed, she has a rather aloof personality and isn't easy to approach. Did you fail in your test?"

Shangguan Qian choked for a moment.

She was afraid to try again because she had failed. She had a feeling that this woman had killed far more people than she had.

Often, intuition is the body's fastest warning.

"Both Gongmen Zhiren and the young master are dead. Your current situation is very awkward, and you are very likely to be sent out of the palace."

But Gong Ziyu seems to have a strong liking for Miss Yuan. You should know better than I what will happen next…

Yun Weishan suddenly felt pain.

I finally got chosen by Gong Huanyu, but then Gong Huanyu died!

All the previous efforts were in vain in an instant.

If we want to stay at the palace gate, is this the only way now?

Chapter 8 Cloud Feathers 8

The next day, Gong Ziyu began to investigate the people of Zheng Gong.

He and Gong Yuanzheng were still at odds, but the target of his suspicions shifted to the servants who participated in the production of Baicao Cui.

There must have been a problem somewhere, otherwise his father and brother wouldn't have been poisoned.

During his investigation, Gong Ziyu discovered someone delivering river lanterns, seemingly to spread the message.

Gong Ziyu immediately took control of all the river lanterns and then found Yun Weishan, who had released the lanterns, nearby.

This was the wife chosen by her brother. Although she already knew that the other party had problems, Gong Ziyu still couldn't help but feel a little sad.

If his elder brother hadn't died, he would already be married by now.

"Why is Miss Yun releasing river lanterns? Is she trying to send a message to the outside world?"

The tone was slightly sarcastic, and Yun Weishan lowered her head, revealing a sad expression.

"I just want to pray to God that misfortune will not befall the Yun family again. I am willing to pay any price, just so that the Yun family can get through this crisis safely."

Gong Ziyu showed a surprised expression.
