Back then, if it weren't for his suggestion, perhaps Yun Que would never have left him, and none of this would have turned out this way. That woman, once as radiant and bright as the sun, has ultimately drifted further and further away from him.
When Yun Weishan caught sight of the jade bracelet, she could no longer contain the overwhelming emotions within her and burst into tears. Her tears flowed like a broken kite string, unstoppable. At that moment, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao stood quietly to the side, watching them with identical expressions.
One was crying her heart out, overwhelmed with grief. The other was fighting back tears, which kept welling up in her eyes.
Gong Yuanzheng's mind started racing. This month, the young master really was indeed as the word Ruan Ruan had described—a love-struck fool. He hadn't expected Yun Weishan, after all, to have someone he cared about so much. And judging from the way things were, it didn't seem like he was faking it.
But he wasn't a fool like Gong Ziyu who would believe him so easily.
Immediately afterwards, Young Master Yue recounted his schemes from back then without reservation, making Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng feel that this person was becoming more and more similar to Gong Ziyu.
It turned out that when Young Master Yue heard that Gong Yuanzheng had successfully cultivated the legendary Cloud Lotus, this earth-shattering news overwhelmed his curiosity and impulse. He secretly slipped away from the front mountain to the back mountain, eager to witness this wondrous thing with his own eyes.
On that fateful night, the Moon Prince happened to witness Yun Que sneaking into the palace to steal the Hundred Herbs Extract.
At that time, because Yue Gongzi had never left the palace with Gongmen and had not experienced the harsh realities of society, his mind was as pure, innocent, kind, and simple as Gong Ziyu's. Without considering that Gongmen and Wufeng were mortal enemies, he brought Yun Que back to the Moon Palace in the back mountain without any suspicion.
However, things took an unexpected turn. Before long, Elder Yue discovered Yun Que Wu Feng's true identity. Faced with this situation, Elder Yue decisively decided to hand her over to Zhi Ren for disposal. At that time, Young Master Yue had already begun to develop feelings for this female assassin.
They suggested that Yun Que become a medicine man for the Moon Palace, which would save her life. They lived together for a long time, and the Moon Prince treated her so well that she wondered if it was all an illusion. It wasn't until they survived the onset of the Half-Moon Fly that they finally opened their hearts to each other. The Moon Prince wanted to help Yun Que escape Wu Feng's clutches and devised a plan to fake her death. However, he never imagined that this method would ultimately lead to his lifelong regret…
The original plan was to bring Yun Que back in three days, by which time Wu Feng would no longer have anyone named Yun Que. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Young Master Yue was too late. Yun Que was taken back by Wu Feng's men first, and there has been no news of her since. Until this time when Wu Feng sent people again, he knew that his Yun Que would never return.
Before, when he couldn't see anyone, he could still fantasize that Yun Que was still alive but was being controlled by Wu Feng. But now he could no longer deceive himself like that. Since Yun Que disappeared, the once sunny, dashing, and elegant young man seemed to have gone through many changes overnight, his temples turned gray, his expression became decadent, and his face was filled with endless sorrow.
"Han Ya Si, you lied to me! Hahaha!!!" Upon learning the truth, Yun Weishan suddenly burst into laughter, but the laughter sounded strangely eerie, giving off a very unsettling feeling. The bracelet before her was undoubtedly Yun Que's; she couldn't possibly be mistaken! Moreover… the palace gate had no reason to lie to her; Shangguan Qian and Wuming were both in their hands.
These two knew far more inside information than she did. To say that they were trying to obtain information by deceiving a low-level assassin would be utterly absurd and laughable.
"I don't know much. We all have the poison 'Unseen Blade' in our bodies—the Half-Moon Fly. This medicine must be taken every two weeks, or we'll suffer excruciating pain and die! Before entering the palace gates, my raven told me that I needed to obtain information to exchange for the antidote. He also said he would contact me, but I needed to leave the palace."
"My mission is to get close to Gong Huanyu and become his bride, so that I can get more information." Yun Weishan told him all the information she knew. Wufeng's people don't let them leave unless they have a mission. Whenever a mission is needed, a special carriage will blindfold them and take them out. So no one knows where Wufeng's headquarters is.
Gong Shangjiao reacted quickly and grasped the crux of the problem: as long as Yun Weishan left the palace with the message, people from Wufeng would take the initiative to contact her? It seems that Wufeng's forces were also lurking in the Old Dust Valley, and they were completely unaware of it! If it weren't for this incident, they probably would never have known.
"Someone, take her to the courtyard next door and arrange for someone to keep a close watch on her." Gong Shangjiao gave the order without hesitation. At this time, Shangguan Qian was unaware that she was about to have a new neighbor. For the past few days, she had been under close surveillance. With the half-month deadline approaching, she was unable to leave.
Once that time comes, they will find that it is true that she claims to be a member of the Lonely Mountain Sect, but at the same time, she is also truly a person without edge. Although this is not what she wants, this identity is destined to follow her like a shadow and never go away.
