The next morning, before Gong Yuanzheng had even woken up, Elder Yue was taken to the clinic. Gong Shangjiao also ordered a search of the entire palace gates to find the assassin who tried to kill Elder Yue.
This incident has caused widespread panic and an explanation is needed. Even Gong Zishang's room, which was under house arrest, was searched. It was only then that Gong Zishang learned that Elder Yue had been assassinated the previous night and that Young Master Yue had become the new Elder Yue. However, for Gong Zishang, this incident had little to do with her.
During the two weeks she was confined, she devoted herself entirely to the forging workshop, working tirelessly day and night. Not only that, she also worked overtime with Xiao Hei, staying up late to research new weapons. This made Elder Hua curious as to why her son had become increasingly unambitious, spending his days lazily and staying in bed until late morning.
Young Master Hua was truly suffering in silence—he couldn't express his bitterness! He had only sneaked off to the front of the mountain to take a look when no one was looking; who would have thought he would run into someone who shared his interests? Now, his interest had gotten the better of him, and he couldn't control himself. Besides, this young lady didn't seem like the kind of person they described.
Others might not know, but he certainly did. During the day, the young lady would always pester Guard Jin Fan, but when the night was quiet, she would secretly begin to study weapons.
Some time ago, she was punished with confinement for trying to help an outsider enter the back mountain. Fortunately, the young master took it into consideration that she was, after all, a young lady, and did not punish her severely.
Hua Gongzi always felt that Jin Fan must have corrupted Gong Zishang. How could someone as diligent and hardworking as her not be able to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent?
The Horn Palace and the Conquest Palace were also thoroughly searched, so any other palaces that wanted to object to the search could only give up. This specifically refers to...
The search continued into the afternoon, until a soft sword and several letters were found in Wu Ji's room. Of course, these were all fake; the envelopes were fabricated by Gong Yuanzheng based on what Ruan Ruan had said that morning.
Anyway, it all comes down to the old woman's brother. Ruan Ruan is already dead, so only Wu Ji would believe such a nonsensical thing.
When the soft sword and the letters were found, Wu Ji's eyes widened in disbelief. She and Gong Huanyu had mostly spoken face-to-face, except for the initial letters exchanged between her and her brother. But the problem was, she had burned those letters herself long ago!
"Take her down." Gong Shangjiao had no intention of letting Mingwu Ji speak, but with so many people present and Elder Xue also there, things were not so easy to say.
Filled with fear and anxiety, Mingwu Ji, deliberately captured, cried out in a trembling voice, "I didn't! This is all fake!" At this moment, she knew she absolutely could not easily reveal her martial arts skills, but besides Elder Yue, there was another person in the palace who knew her identity. If only he would die with her!
In this way, no one can reveal her secret as a bladeless assassin.
Gong Shangjiao calmly handed the letter he was clutching to Elder Xue, completely unconcerned about whether the handwriting on the letter would be recognized. He had naturally made thorough preparations, and Elder Xue immediately ordered his subordinates to retrieve the handwriting that Wu Ji usually used. After careful comparison, it was confirmed that it was indeed her handwriting.
Before she could even shout that she was innocent, the guard knocked her unconscious. After all, it was the young master's order and had nothing to do with him.
Mist Princess was taken to the dungeon and became neighbors with Yun Weishan. Gong Yuanzheng thought this female assassin was incredibly stubborn; so many days had passed and she hadn't revealed a single piece of information. All the torture she had endured had been ineffective.
If he hadn't wanted to get some useful information from her, he would have killed her long ago.
