"Elder, according to the contents of the letter, it is related to the former young master. When the young master was assassinated, we didn't even have a chance to see his body before Wu Ji used the excuse of burying him prematurely."
Now that Wu Ji is a ruthless assassin and has a close relationship with the former young master, Shang Jiao requests to view the young master's remains. "Gong Shang Jiao bowed respectfully, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, and only Gong Shang Jiao's voice could be heard in the entire hall.
The three elders passed the letter around for a while, and the contents of the letter and the soft sword were undoubtedly the strongest evidence. Considering that this matter involved Huan Yu, Elder Xue spoke first: "Let's not delay, let's set off immediately."
The group then headed to the ancestral graves on the back mountain. Gong Yuanzheng, holding Gong Ruanruan in his arms, silently followed at the end of the group, feeling quite excited about exposing the man's true colors! He began to plan how to get back later and deal with that hateful old woman to vent his anger.
Upon arrival, several guards had already dug out the coffin and were all standing quietly to one side, waiting for their arrival. Elder Hua circled the coffin and examined it, but found nothing amiss. Helpless, he ordered, "What are you all standing around for! Open the coffin!"
Meanwhile, Young Master Yue stood silently to one side, his hands clasped at his sides, remaining completely silent; his presence was almost imperceptible. This place was very close to the Flower Palace, and reaching the ancestral graves required passing through it. Young Master Hua hadn't yet reached the front mountain, and seeing this group heading towards the ancestral hall, he sensed something significant was about to happen.
They followed them all the way here. Just as Elder Hua turned his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a furtive head peeking out from behind a tree not far away—it was Young Master Hua! Instantly, Elder Hua's face turned extremely gloomy, and an inexplicable anger welled up in his heart.
The coffin slowly opened, revealing it to be completely empty—not even a human figure could be seen! In an instant, everyone present, unaware of the truth, stared in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief!
[Oh! You've given yourself away, haven't you, Little Blackie!] Gong Ruanruan looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of the group, and then at the empty coffin. She hadn't expected that Wu Ji would have kept letters with Gong Huanyu.
What's the difference between this and going to the toilet without toilet paper? As expected, the influence of the original plot is still so strong. Even though Yun Weishan is an assassin, Gong Ziyu can still cover it up. He's not afraid that the other party is lying to him. After all, with Gong Ziyu's intelligence, he's really not that smart. Anyone could probably fool him completely.
"On the expedition, we must force Mist Princess to talk and reveal Huan Yu's whereabouts!" If the contents of the letter are true, then Huan Yu must have intentionally orchestrated a fake assassination attempt, taking a fake drug to feign death in order to escape. As for what he's plotting behind the scenes, everyone can guess seven or eight parts of it—Boundless Blazing Fire!
If the letter was forged by Wu Ji, then Huan Yu would be under her control. However, given the current situation, it seems almost certain that Huan Yu faked his death and escaped. The only solution now is to strengthen the palace gates' security and launch a large-scale search. Wu Ji must know his hiding place, but getting her to reveal the truth will likely require considerable effort.
"Pass on my order: search the entire palace for Gong Huanyu's whereabouts!" Gong Shangjiao kept a close eye on the location of the ancestral hall. He and his brother Yuanzheng both knew that the man was hiding there. However, they were unsure whether Gong Huanyu had noticed anything amiss with their large-scale search.
"We obey the young master's orders!" a group of guards responded in unison, then turned around and began a thorough search. Some guards even rushed to the foot of the mountain to relay the instructions down the ranks. In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the entire palace, from top to bottom, knew the news that Gong Huanyu had faked his death and disappeared.
When Gong Zishang learned of this news, an undisguised look of astonishment appeared on her face. She couldn't help but think to herself, "She really didn't die..." She knew it. How could such a shrewd person be killed by a mere assassin of the Wufeng Talent rank?
Comparing the two young masters in the Feather Palace, one is overly cunning and shrewd, while the other is foolish and unaware of his own stupidity, a complete idiot with a blank mind. Most importantly, neither Madam Lan nor Zhi Ren are such foolish people, so how did they give birth to such an empty-headed son?
