The following morning, Elder Yue was taken to the clinic and specially assigned someone to take meticulous care of him. At the same time, Young Master Yue naturally ascended to the position of elder. Perhaps because he was the only junior among the three elders and had little say, and mainly because the other two elders didn't trust him...
The assassin without a blade from two years ago was a visionary. Only the upper echelons of the palace knew about this, because if it were to spread, it would not only cause a loss of face, but could also cause panic within the palace.
When the news reached the Snow Palace, Gong Ziyu happened to be with Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi. Upon hearing that Elder Yue, whom he had always doted on, had been assassinated and was in a coma, Gong Ziyu was extremely anxious and paced around like an ant on a hot pan. He turned around and wanted to go down the mountain, but before he could even step out of the Snow Palace gate, he was "respectfully invited" back to his residence by the guards sent by Gong Hongyu.
At this moment, Gong Ziyu was extremely anxious, but that was not a reason for the guards in front of him to let him go. Gong Hongyu knew that although his son was a good-for-nothing and idle, he had a kind heart. Once the news of Elder Yue's assassination and coma reached the Snow Palace, he would definitely run down the mountain without hesitation.
Gong Hongyu was right about this, so he arranged for several groups of people to guard the road from the Snow Palace back to the front mountain, making it impossible for Gong Ziyu to escape. After all, once the Three Realms Trial begins, it cannot be stopped midway.
If he comes out this time, it means he has voluntarily given up the trial. Is that possible? Obviously not, absolutely not!
Since Gong Ziyu couldn't return, he could only wait for news from the front mountain. However, several days passed without anyone coming to deliver the message. In the end, he received news that the assassin had been captured, and the assassin's identity shocked Gong Ziyu...
After the matter was resolved that night, Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng returned to Jiao Palace. Dawn was approaching soon, so Gong Shangjiao decided not to sleep. "Yuanzheng, go to sleep. You're still growing."
"Brother, Elder Yue is really 'lucky' this time!" The two spoke at the same time, their words seemingly carrying a hidden meaning.
【Mist Princess, Mist Princess, you're courting death again! If they knew you were behind this, you'd be singing "Tears Behind Bars" in the dungeon right now. Your own brother would be dead by now, yet you still insist on believing Gong Huanyu.】
But Elder Yue really is as lucky as my brother said, truly a scourge that lives on for a thousand years? It was so close to piercing the heart! I remember in the original story it went straight to the heart; this little butterfly is really flapping its wings quite frequently.
After hearing his younger brother's words, Gong Shangjiao was slightly taken aback, then remained silent for a moment, deciding to put the matter aside until tomorrow: "Hmm... let's discuss this matter tomorrow. It's getting late, go and rest."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently, and immediately turned and ran to the bedside. He carefully placed Gong Ruanruan in his arms on the bed, then quickly took off his shoes, socks and clothes, and finally nimbly crawled into the quilt and hugged Gong Ruanruan tightly.
Although he was already an adult, this was the first time in Gong Yuanzheng's life that he had slept in his brother's bed, and he could not hide his excitement and joy!
In contrast to Gong Yuanzheng's excited heart and trembling hands, Gong Ruanruan went straight to bed and fell into a deep sleep. Now, even setting off firecrackers by the bedside wouldn't wake her up.
