Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After Gong Ziyu and Gong Men Zhiren parted ways unhappily last night, Gong Yuanzheng and Zhuo Yichen also left Zhiren Hall right after, but they made the excuse that they were going to interrogate the female assassin without a blade in the dungeon.

"It's really ridiculous! He took advantage of Gong Ziyu's so-called kindness, but didn't acknowledge his contribution in this plan." Gong Yuanzheng sneered at Zhi Ren's behavior.

"People's hearts are biased, and if they are biased, they will have selfish motives. Maybe Gong Hongyu just wants his son to be a playboy and live a peaceful life." Zhuo Yichen didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the palace, and just commented on the comments he saw.

"Yeah, it's good to have someone to support you! You don't have to worry about anything, just eat, drink and have fun." Gong Yuanzheng leaned against Zhuo Yichen, "Second brother, I'm so tired! Carry me back!"

Zhuo Yichen patted Gong Yuanzheng's little head, half squatted down and held back Gong Yuanzheng who was flying towards him, "You are also used to being a spoiled child."

Early the next morning, Gong Ziyu walked to the gate of the female guest courtyard. Just as she was about to go in, she was stopped by the nanny in charge of the courtyard, "My little ancestor! Why are you here? There are only female relatives here, leave quickly! Go and have your flower wine or play your card game."

The nanny also called two maids, "Stand guard the door with me, and do not allow Master Yu to have any female guests in the courtyard."

It was daybreak, and the brides had already woken up and were now gathering in groups of two or three to chat. When they heard the noise at the reinforcements' door, they all gathered over, only to see the culprit who had poisoned them yesterday standing at the door of the courtyard full of women.

Gong Ziyu turned a deaf ear to the whispers of the brides. He was only thinking about the cold-looking girl from yesterday. "Mammy, I left something in the hands of one of the brides yesterday. I'm here to get it."

Mammy looked at Gong Ziyu suspiciously, and asked half-doubtfully: "Are you really just here to look for something? Who is the bride? What is it? I will go and get it for you myself."

"I don't know who the bride is. I only know that she is one of the brides to be chosen. It's my mask." Gong Ziyu wanted to take a few more steps inside, but was blocked by the human wall formed by the nanny and the maids.

"Jin Fan!" Gong Ziyu couldn't bear it any longer, so he endured it and called his personal bodyguard.

"What bad things are you going to do again!" Jin Fan immediately appeared beside Gong Ziyu, frowning as he looked at the guards with swords drawn around the yard.

"Help me stop those people, I'm going to get my mask back." After saying that, he pushed Jin Fan towards the nanny, and he took the opportunity to run in.

The bride, who had just gathered in the yard, saw someone running in and immediately hid in various corners.

Gong Ziyu didn't even look at the pretty brides in various poses, and walked straight towards one of the rooms on the second floor.

If Zhuo Yichen was here, he would find that a delicate girl who had contact with the exposed female assassin yesterday was standing in the corridor on the second floor, standing behind a pillar and watching Gong Ziyu go to her teammate's room.

As soon as Gong Ziyu walked to the door, the door was opened. The cold-looking bride inside was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, "Master Yu, are you here to pick up the fox mask that I left here last night?"

Gong Ziyu was so mesmerized by this sudden smile that he didn't hear clearly what the beauty in front of him said.

The bride frowned slightly and asked again, "Master Yu! Master Yu?"

"My name is not Master Yu, my name is Gong Ziyu. Gong means palace gate, Zi means descendants, and Yu means feathers. I don't even know your name yet!" Gong Ziyu introduced his name a little awkwardly.

"Haha! Master Yu, my name is Yun Weishan. Yun means cloud, Wei means unpredictable, and Shan means mountain leaf." Yun Weishan was also surprised by Gong Ziyu.

"Isn't my joke funny?" Gong Ziyu looked at Yun Weishan thinking he was being humorous.

Yun Weishan's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: I think you look like a joke.

"Mr. Yu really loves to joke. Wait a moment, I will return his fox mask to you." Yun Weishan half closed the door. Gong Ziyu could only see through the crack in the door that the graceful Yun Weishan picked up a fox mask from the table.

"Master Yu, the item has been returned to its original owner! I hope the fox mask has not been damaged at all. After all, this mask is Master Yu's most precious treasure." Yun Weishan wanted to get rid of the person as soon as possible.

"Miss Yun, how did you know that this is my true love?" Gong Ziyu stroked the fox mask, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

"I think the glaze on this fox mask is very rare, and the pattern on it is extremely complex, and there are traces of frequent touching around the mask, so I made such a guess." Yun Weishan moved his eyes around and looked at the other brides who were watching the show, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Gong Ziyu stroked the edges of the mask in a trance, "The person who made this mask is gone, this is the only relic she left me."

Yun Weishan was about to say something when a maid came over with a bowl of medicine. "Miss Yun, this is the medicine that the palace prepared for the brides to recuperate."

Gong Ziyu took the medicine and was about to hand it to Yun Weishan when his nose twitched. "Miss Yun, give me this bowl of medicine first! I just saw a small flying insect touch it. I'll ask the maid to make you a bowl later."

Jin Fan also came up at this time and looked at the familiar medicine in Gong Ziyu's hand. "Gong Ziyu, aren't those bitter medicines you usually drink enough? Are you so weak that you have to snatch the women's conditioning medicine?"

"What nonsense!" After comforting Yun Weishan, Gong Ziyu brought the medicine and asked the maid to make another bowl.

Yun Weishan and the maid who brought the medicine looked at each other. Yun Weishan couldn't help but get furious: Are you here to tell me a joke about yourself, and then snatch a bowl of my medicine? And then focus everyone's attention on me and make me hate you?

Gong Ziyu rushed all the way to the Zhiren Hall with the medicine in his hand. When he opened the door, he saw his father Gong Hongyu, his brother Gong Huanyu, Gong Yuanzheng and a little kid he didn't recognize standing there.

"Gong Yuanzheng! Are you crazy? Those people in that yard are all brides to be chosen, not those medicine men in the dungeon for you to test the medicine on!" Gong Ziyu angrily threw the medicine on the ground not far in front of Gong Yuanzheng.

"Gong Ziyu!" Before Gong Yuanzheng could do anything, Gong Hongyu started to scold him.

"Zhi Ren! I want to expose Gong Yuanzheng's disregard for human life. He even arbitrarily changed the Angelica dahurica Golden Herb Tea that was used to regulate the female family members' health!" Gong Ziyu didn't understand why Zhi Ren was so angry. It was clearly Gong Yuanzheng's problem.

"Brother Yuanzheng, is there something wrong with this big brother? Do you want me to give him a cooling patch?" Bai Jiu hid behind Gong Yuanzheng and spoke softly to him, pointing to his head.

"Where are you from, kid? How dare you break into the palace! Was it Gong Yuanzheng who brought you in?" When Gong Ziyu saw that the little brat was so close to Gong Yuanzheng, he naturally thought that Gong Yuanzheng had abused his power to bring in a stranger.

"Stupid...what are you talking about? This is my cousin's subordinate, the Tiandu miracle doctor - Bai Jiu. This time he followed my cousin to handle some things in the nearby Wanbei Town, and came to see me." Gong Yuanzheng was about to curse, but then he remembered that Gong Ziyu's father and brother were there, so he had to give them some face.

"Gong Ziyu, do you think everyone is as idle, uneducated, and dissolute as you?" Gong Hongyu was already red-faced and angry at the brainless Gong Ziyu. "I originally thought you were just a playful person, but who knew you were so insignificant! Haven't you noticed that the poisonous miasma in the palace is getting worse and worse?"

Gong Ziyu also realized something was wrong after hearing what Gong Hongyu said, "I..."

"Besides sneaking down the mountain to hang out in places like that every day, what else do you know? Do you think everyone is like you who acts first and asks for permission later?" Gong Hongyu walked up to Gong Ziyu and slapped him in the face. "I asked Yuanzheng to adjust the recipe of this Angelica dahurica Golden Grass Tea based on the poisonous miasma. He asked me first before adjusting the recipe, and the adjusted Angelica dahurica Golden Grass Tea has already been drunk by the palace ladies for several days."

After receiving the slap, Gong Ziyu's attitude, which had softened, suddenly became tense again. He turned around and ran out of the Blade Hall.

Gong Yuanzheng's originally gloating expression disappeared when he heard the four words "Young Master Jiao is here!" from outside. He instantly forgot what to do next and only wanted to go and greet his brother.

"Master Blade, I want to go greet my brother!"

Gong Hongyu knew that he couldn't stop him, so he just let him go.

Bai Jiu also left the Blade Hall.

Gong Huanyu had been acting as an invisible man, and now was a good opportunity for him to show his temper. "Father, Ziyu is still young and it's understandable that he has a bad temper. Since Madam Lan left, Ziyu has been immersed in sorrow. He finally came out of it because of Madam Wuji. Please don't be angry with him."

Gong Hongyu sighed, "But look at him now. He can't be beaten or scolded. He really gave birth to a bad boy!"

On the other side, Bai Jiu followed Gong Yuanzheng to the steps facing the palace gate. Looking down, he actually saw Gong Ziyu who had just been slapped by the sword of the palace gate.

Bai Jiu, with a compassionate heart as a doctor, walked over to look at his face, took out a small porcelain bottle from his backpack, scooped some ointment on his hand, and gently rubbed it in circles on his red and swollen face.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind. Bai Jiu looked back and saw the man in black and gold clothes. He glanced at him and the drunk Gong Ziyu on the ground with his contemptuous eyes.

Bai Jiu didn't come back to his senses until the man left. He said blankly, "The look in that man's eyes just now was like the chicken head that Yinglei cooked at the banquet I ate during the Chinese New Year!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the man who had left turn around again, but there was also a sneer behind him, but it soon stopped. You could tell from their lowered heads and constantly shaking shoulders.

"Brother!" Silver bells rang towards the man.

The moment the man turned around, the iceberg melted and it became warm like spring. He jumped off the horse and said, "Brother Yuanzheng! Why are you wearing so little? It's cold now, you should wear more clothes."

"Brother, I'm not cold! Besides, I'm wearing the warm jade~" Bai Jiu looked at Gong Yuanzheng smiling sweetly while holding the man's hand, and instantly felt like the sky was falling.

With a roll of his eyes, Bai Jiu fell directly on Gong Ziyu who was lying on the ground.
