"A female assassin?" Gong Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment after hearing her words. He frowned and tried hard to recall, but he really couldn't remember such a person. After all, a mere Wufeng assassin was not someone he would remember.
"Elder Yue knows...it's about now." Just then, Gong Shangjiao walked into the room from outside and happened to overhear Yun Weishan's words. Young Master Yue initially placed the person in the Moon Palace as a medicinal puppet, but as they spent time together, feelings gradually developed. However, this happy period didn't last long; the person died somehow, and the assassin's body, which had been hanging outside the palace gates, disappeared.
After that, Young Master Yue became extremely depressed and has not recovered to this day. That's all he knows.
Gong Yuanzheng turned around and saw his brother walk in. He noticed that Gong Shangjiao's arms were empty, and he understood that Ruan Ruan must have been taken back to Jiao Palace by Jin Fu. He recalled the deep sorrow on Yue Gongzi's face when they first met yesterday.
Furthermore, given that Elder Yue had just been assassinated, it was understandable that he would be grieving. However, he never expected that the person in the back mountain would be connected to the Assassin Without Edge. Coincidentally, the Assassin Without Edge in front of him was someone he knew.
Taking advantage of this free time, Gong Shangjiao sent someone to invite Young Master Yue over. Judging from Yun Weishan's appearance, he was probably closely related to that assassin.
Before Young Master Yue arrived, Yun Weishan remained silent. Judging from her expression, she knew that she would only speak if she knew about this matter. In any case, this matter had nothing to do with them. If she couldn't be used by them later, they could just send her on her way with a dose of poison.
On his way there, Young Master Yue was still somewhat puzzled, since the guards hadn't explained why they had summoned him. He hurried to the dungeon and, hearing approaching footsteps, Yun Weishan, who had been keeping her head down, slowly raised it...
The newcomer's jet-black hair, cascading like a waterfall over his shoulders, was streaked with strands of silver, as if the years had etched their marks upon him. A faint air of melancholy hung over his face, like a poignant and beautiful melody, evoking feelings of pity. He wore a simple, dark gray robe, the hem of which swayed gently with his light steps.
"Young Master, what important matter does Young Master Zheng have that you summoned me here for?" After entering the room, Young Master Yue's gaze naturally fell on the man bound to the wooden frame. He had been staring intently at him ever since he entered, which puzzled Young Master Yue.
Seeing this, Gong Shangjiao got straight to the point without any beating around the bush: "Elder Yue, this assassin without a blade said he wants to know about the assassin who came to the palace gate two years ago, the one who was the medicine man in your Moon Palace."
Upon hearing this, Yue Gongzi's originally calm eyes instantly rippled. He remembered her telling him about her kind older sister in Wufeng. They were both caught up in circumstances against their own will, and she had always wanted to escape Wufeng with her sister and live an ordinary life.
But... this wish will never come true.
Finally, after a suffocating silence, Yun Weishan, her heart filled with anxiety, broke the deadlock and asked first, "What exactly is your relationship with Yun Que? What happened back then? Who killed her!" As she spoke, the bitterness in Yun Weishan's heart intensified, surging up like a tide.
Her voice involuntarily choked with sobs. That was her beloved younger sister! She had only come to the palace gate once, and when she returned, all she had left was a lifeless, cold corpse. Recalling the scene when Han Ya Si brought Yun Que's body back, she felt as if the entire sky had collapsed. If it weren't for her burning desire to find the murderer who killed Yun Que, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer.
"It's been so long... so long since anyone has mentioned her name." Young Master Yue was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the sky, tears welling up in his eyes. He gently reached out and took off the bracelet he always wore on his wrist, his voice low and slow as he said, "She... was the love of my life. It was all because of me. I'm the one who ruined her..." At this point, Young Master Yue's voice began to tremble, filled with endless grief and regret.
