Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After Gong Shangjiao left, Gong Hongyu asked Gong Huanyu to go to the dungeon and bring Zheng Nanyi over.

After Gong Huanyu left, on the way to the dungeon, he met Madam Wu Ji who was walking towards him with a food box. The two of them just looked at each other normally.

"Zhi Ren, what's wrong?" After Wu Ji entered Zhi Ren's room, she looked at Gong Hongyu, whose face was still full of anger.

"Nothing, I just lament that I'm getting older, Ziyu is still like that, Huanyu is... Oh! I don't know what to do with these two brothers! Especially Ziyu, I've already let Alan down, I didn't expect Ziyu to have the same stubborn temper as his mother."

When Wu Ji lowered her head to take the food, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. When she looked up again, she had that tender and affectionate expression again, "Zi Yu is still young, and besides, we still have Zhi Ren and the young master! When he gets married this time, maybe he'll know how much Zhi Ren cares about him."

Gong Hongyu took the porridge handed over by Wu Ji without any precautions, and glanced at the orchid that was somewhat withered by the windowsill, "I hope so! Look at that orchid, why does it look like it's about to wither?"

Wu Ji looked in the direction of his finger, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she saw that the orchid's leaves had turned yellow, the buds were drooping, and the petals were falling. "Hold the blade!"

Wu Ji turned her head to look at Gong Hongyu again, and suddenly found that he was holding his chest, his lips were purple, and his hand holding the bowl of porridge was shaking. In the end, Wu Ji only vaguely remembered the sound of the porridge bowl falling to the ground, and the sound of the guards rushing into the room and exclaiming.

Gong Yuanzheng was sitting in the clinic, accompanied by his sister Gong Zishang and his second brother Zhuo Yichen and his monster hunting team. Everyone was talking and laughing, and Gong Zishang and Gong Yuanzheng were listening to some interesting stories during their monster hunting process.

"Miss! Master Zheng! Something bad has happened! The red light is on at the palace gate!" Jin Fu suddenly rushed into the room, and as soon as he finished speaking, bursts of drum sounds were heard outside the door.

"What happened?" Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Zishang stood up at the same time and questioned Jin Fu who ran in.

"Reporting to the young lady, Master Zheng! Zhiren and Madam Wu Ji were attacked in Zhiren Palace. Zhiren died on the spot. Madam Wu Ji is also being treated. And the young master..." Jin Fu didn't know how to express it.

"What's wrong with the young master?" Gong Yuanzheng looked at the hesitant Jin Fu and grabbed his collar.

"When the young master went to the dungeon to interrogate the assassin Wufeng again, he was killed by the assassin's close range stab! The assassin was hacked to death by the guards who followed closely behind him." Jin Fu closed his eyes, made up his mind, and blurted out everything.

"What!" Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Zishang realized at this moment that something might happen in the palace.

Led by Jin Fu, the two quickly changed into mourning clothes and rushed to the Blade Hall.

"Gong Yuanzheng!"

As soon as Gong Yuanzheng stepped into the door of the Blade Hall, Gong Ziyu grabbed him by the collar.

"Gong Ziyu, why are you crazy?" Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Ziyu in confusion.

"On a long expedition, you must not be rude to those holding a sword!" Elder Xue who was standing aside suddenly spoke.

"What? Wielding a blade? Gong Ziyu, that playboy!" Gong Yuanzheng looked in disbelief at the three elders who seemed to be feeling guilty for some unknown reason and Gong Ziyu who had his eyes wide open.

Gong Zishang also looked at Gong Ziyu in disbelief. How could Gong Ziyu become the Blade Wielder in just one night? Even if Gong Huanyu passed away, Gong Shangjiao should have succeeded the Blade Wielder position!

"This is absolutely ridiculous!" Gong Yuanzheng was venting his anger in the mourning hall.

"Gong Yuanzheng! The Sword Master and the Young Master passed away at the same time. The palace cannot be without a master for a day!" Elder Yue looked at Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Ziyu who were on the verge of a fight, and spoke to try to ease the tension.

“Even if Zhiren and the young master passed away at the same time, the person who succeeded Zhiren should be my brother, not this good-for-nothing Gong Ziyu who only knew how to spend his time in debauchery and extravagance!” The way Gong Yuanzheng looked at the good-for-nothing was exactly the same as Gong Shangjiao’s.

Gong Ziyu was so stimulated by the look that he forgot his reason. When he wanted to attack Gong Yuanzheng, he was stopped by Gong Yuanzheng's guard Jin Hua. When Gong Ziyu's guard Jin Fan saw Gong Ziyu about to be beaten, he immediately drew his sword to help. Jin Fu watched from outside the door that someone dared to point a knife at their little master.

Jin Fu didn't think about it, he pulled out the flare from his waist and fired it. In an instant, the whole sky was as bright as day. The people in the mourning hall only heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the Blade Hall, and the number of footsteps was huge.

"How dare you! What do you want to do! Gong Yuanzheng, why don't you tell your guards to stop!" Elder Yue and Elder Xue loved Gong Ziyu the most. When they saw that Gong Ziyu was being beaten by a guard, they immediately scolded Gong Yuanzheng.

Gong Zishang stood aside with a frown on her face, thinking to herself: What a mess she has run into. Gong Ziyu is about to attack Gong Yuanzheng, and he won't allow his guards to go back? And what was her vision at the beginning? Who is this guard who would use a knife or a gun against his master at any time? Why is he so arrogant?

"Master Zheng! Are you okay?" Jin Fu asked Jin Li to take the guards who came from the Corner Palace to guard outside the Blade Hall, while he and Jin Li stood behind Gong Yuanzheng.

"Gong Yuanzheng! Do you want to rebel?" Elder Xue looked at the tightly packed Blade Hall and pointed at Gong Yuanzheng and scolded him.

"Even if I want to rebel, so what! Don't forget, what you eat, wear and use now, weren't bought with the money earned by my brother. And those priceless pills and medicines, which one wasn't discovered by me through testing one by one?" When Gong Yuanzheng saw his brother's people coming to support him, he immediately showed a sinister smile and looked at the three elders.

"I advise the three elders not to sit down and eat and then curse. Without the money from the Corner Palace, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pay the monthly salaries to your subordinates, not to mention the daily expenses in your courtyard and the kitchen in the palace gate. Isn't that money paid by my brother?"

Gong Yuanzheng usually didn't bother with them because he was only thinking about his brother. After all, he was responsible for paying the monthly salary for everyone in the palace, and the food in the small kitchen was also specially delivered by someone, so he didn't need to be afraid of them at all.

However, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean you can step on him and shit on him. Who is he, Gong Yuanzheng? He is the young master of the Zhuo family, the little prince of the Great Wilderness. Only when he bullies others, no one can bully him.

"The position of the Blade Wielder has been decided, and the Blade Wielder's letter has been sent out. It is impossible to change the mind at the last minute!" Elder Yue grabbed the hot-tempered Elder Xue.

"Hmph! Wait until my brother comes back and see how you guys explain it clearly!" Gong Yuanzheng's face changed. He flicked his cloak and left the mourning hall without even lighting any incense.

Gong Zishang knelt in the mourning hall and kowtowed respectfully several times. After burning incense, he comforted Gong Ziyu, left the Zhiren Hall and returned to the Shang Palace.

Not long after she sat down, Gong Mingshang sent someone to invite her over.

"Dad! I wonder why you called your daughter over so late at night?" Gong Zishang looked at Gong Mingshang who was slumped on the bed, bowed perfunctorily, and then found a stool and sat down.

"Gong Hongyu is dead." When Gong Mingshang said this in such a confident tone, Gong Zishang, who was wiping the fruit, was also stunned.

"Zhi Ren and the young master are both dead, and Madam Wu Ji is also on the verge of death." Gong Zishang looked completely different at this time than he did in the eyes of outsiders.

The young lady, who is usually carefree and unconventional, now looks in the direction of Yumiya with a gloomy face.

"It seems that the water in the palace is going to be turbid again. After that idiot Gong Ziyu came to power, Gong Shangjiao has become even more troubled." Gong Mingshang was unable to go out and was trapped in the bed, but he knew everything about the outside world so clearly. It shows what kind of person this former Lord of Shang Palace was, who was once so arrogant.

"Gong Yuanzheng was driven mad by the three elders and almost forced the emperor to abdicate. If Gong Shangjiao had not been at the palace gate, he would have killed Gong Ziyu with a knife the next second and replaced Gong Shangjiao as the swordsman." Gong Zishang explained what had just happened in Yu Palace while chewing fruit.

"Those three old guys must have reached some deal with Gong Hongyu. Otherwise, why didn't they consider Gong Shangjiao, the excellent successor, when something happened here just after Gong Shangjiao left the palace, but instead chose the good-for-nothing Gong Ziyu." Gong Mingshang tapped the bed with his fingers, feeling a little regretful.

What should we do next? When Gong Zishang thought about Gong Ziyu's upcoming high position, she couldn't help but wonder: This may not be good for us! To be honest, she didn't have much good feelings towards Gong Ziyu.

You know, she is now very close to Gong Yuanzheng! The reason is that after becoming good friends with Gong Yuanzheng, not only do they no longer have to worry about their Shang Palace's research expenses being deducted, but they can also get some rare and good things from Gong Yuanzheng every now and then. In addition, even the famous weapon master of Zhuo Mansion, Jiang Lanming, often gives her careful guidance.

However, looking at Gong Ziyu, although she has become a Blade Wielder, compared with the tangible benefits brought by Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao, for her, except for this title, it seems that nothing has changed.

Therefore, Gong Zishang had a clear mind as to what choice to make among Gong Ziyu, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao. She knew clearly who was more important and who was less important.

Just as Gong Yuanzheng said in the mourning hall just now, the daily expenses of everyone in the palace depend on Jiao Gong. If Gong Yuanzheng is really offended, wouldn't it be equivalent to completely angering Gong Shangjiao, the great god of wealth!

What good will it do to offend the God of Wealth? Could Gong Ziyu give her enough research funds? Or provide her with a variety of rare weapon materials? The answer is obviously no!
