Chapter 194 Cloud Feather (Viewing Mode) 5
After expressing his goodwill by asking Gong Yuanzheng for tea, Gong Ziyu naturally steered the conversation back to the main topic: "...Today you suddenly accused me of not being of the Gong family bloodline, did someone say something to you?"
"Wasn't this something you and Lady Mist Princess planned beforehand?" Miyazaki asked, his face showing surprise.
"Lady Mist Princess? How did we get involved with Lady Mist Princess again?"
The three elders all turned their puzzled gazes toward Lady Wuji.
Lady Wuji was also baffled. She hadn't been fooled by Gong Huanyu yet, so she naturally didn't understand how she could be connected with Gong Shangjiao.
Gong Hongyu's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something, and he looked at Lady Wuji with surprise and uncertainty.
Could it be that Lady Mist Princess killed him and then instigated conflict among the four palaces of the front mountain, splitting the palace gates?
Lady Wu Ji was originally a Wu Feng assassin. It was only because she was forced into this situation and had not committed any evil deeds that I gave her a break and concealed her identity as a Wu Feng assassin, allowing her to continue living peacefully in the palace.
Could it be that I misjudged the person?
When Wu Ji saw the suspicious look in Gong Hongyu's eyes, she was immediately startled and subconsciously shook her head: "I have a deep affection for Madam Lan. Since her death, I have treated Ziyu like my own son. How could I possibly conspire with Young Master Jiao to frame Ziyu?"
Gong Ziyu quickly chimed in, "I believe Aunt would never harm me."
But the next moment-
[Gong Shangjiao's face was grim as he asked, "Why did Lady Wuji do this?"]
Gong Ziyu held the teacup, looked down at the tea soup bubbling and churning inside the teapot, and said softly:
"On the day Zhi Ren and the young master died... there was only Lady Wu Ji as a witness... all our speculations are based on Lady Wu Ji's testimony. What if her testimony is false..."
"You actually doubt Lady Wu Ji?" Gong Yuanzheng blurted out.
Upon witnessing this development, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and their surprised and uncertain gazes lingered between Gong Ziyu and Wu Ji.
Gong Zishang suddenly stood up, looking at Gong Ziyu in disbelief: "Gong Ziyu, Lady Wuji is gentle and kind, and she has treated you so well. How could you doubt her?"
Gong Zishang's mother died early, and her father, Gong Liushang, became disheartened due to his physical disability. He placed high hopes on his young daughter, Gong Jinshang, while showing great contempt for Gong Zishang, believing her to be just a woman who was not capable of great things.
From childhood to adulthood, Gong Zishang only felt the care of an elder from Lady Wuji. She was the only person who could give her love and support like a mother.
Lady Mist Princess was such a good person, so kind to everyone in the palace.
Especially for Gong Ziyu, after Lady Lan passed away, Lady Wuji treated Gong Ziyu as her own son and took care of him day after day for ten years.
However, after the deaths of Zhi Ren and the young master, Gong Ziyu actually turned his suspicious gaze to Lady Wu Ji. Even though this happened in a parallel world, she still couldn't accept it.
Faced with Gong Zishang's questioning, Gong Ziyu opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Elder Yue quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "As the saying goes, doubt what you should doubt! The old Blade Master and the young master in the scene were unfortunately murdered, and the truth is unclear. Under these circumstances, we must question everything that is suspicious. It is absolutely necessary for Lord Blade Master to investigate this matter impartially!"
Elder Xue quickly chimed in, "That's right! Since Lady Wuji entered the palace, she has been respectful to her superiors and kind to her subordinates. Everyone in the palace praises her. I believe she would never do such a treasonous thing. I believe she will soon prove her innocence."
Hearing their conversation, Elder Hua frowned, somewhat disapproving, and said, "You can't be so absolute. What if Lady Wu Ji really is related to the deaths of the old Blade Master and the young master..."
How can this person be so oblivious to people's moods? Can't they see the atmosphere is already tense?
Elder Yue interrupted Elder Hua with a sigh, saying, "Let's not speculate wildly and continue watching!"
The conversation between the three drew everyone's attention, and in this tense atmosphere, Gong Shangjiao keenly noticed that Gong Hongyu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and Lady Wuji's face had turned ashen white...
In an instant, Gong Shangjiao realized that Gong Ziyu's suspicions in the scene were not unfounded.
Judging from the reactions of the Blade Master and Lady Mist, the latter must be hiding a secret.
A cold smile flashed across Gong Shangjiao's lips as he silently raised his guard against Lady Wuji.
At the same time, he gave Gong Yuanzheng a wink. Gong Yuanzheng immediately understood his brother's meaning, sat up straight, and quietly reached for the hidden weapon pouch at his waist.
However, before his gaze could fall on Lady Mist, he noticed something new.
There were several rows of seats in the screening room, and the audience occupied two of them.
In the front row, from order, are Elder Xue, Elder Yue, Elder Hua, Gong Hongyu, Lady Wuji, Gong Huanyu, and Gong Ziyu; in the back row, from order, are Xue Chongzi, Young Master Xue, Young Master Yue, Young Master Hua, Jin Fan, Gong Zishang, Gong Shangjiao, and Gong Yuanzheng.
So when Gong Yuanzheng looked at Lady Wuji, his gaze first swept past Gong Huanyu diagonally in front of him, and he just happened to notice that Gong Huanyu's expression was strange.
So, Gong Yuanzheng gently touched Gong Shangjiao's arm, gesturing for him to look at Gong Huanyu in front of him.
Gong Shangjiao was a little confused, but he still followed his younger brother's instructions and turned slightly to the side.
Since Gong Huanyu was sitting directly in front of Gong Shangjiao, Gong Shangjiao would have to move to the left or right to see his face.
So Gong Shangjiao turned his body slightly toward his younger brother and looked at Gong Huanyu.
But they found that Gong Huanyu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his face was even more pale than Lady Wuji's, and his lips were trembling involuntarily.
Miyazaki was instantly filled with suspicion!
The person suspected is clearly Lady Wu Ji, so why does Gong Huan Yu look so unpleasant?
Didn't he die at the very beginning of the game?
Moreover, Gong Ziyu was looking for the murderer for Lao Zhiren and him. As the victim, he shouldn't be reacting like this!
Why was he so flustered?
The two brothers exchanged a glance, both filled with confusion.
"Why does everyone in Yu Gong have secrets?" Gong Yuanzheng said to his brother in a low voice, unable to understand.
Miyazaki: ...Sigh!
I feel completely exhausted!
At this moment, the world in the scene has entered night.
Having confirmed that Lady Wuji was problematic, Gong Ziyu led Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng to her residence.
As the audience was still wondering how they would ask Lady Wuji for the truth, they saw Gong Ziyu, who had been calm and composed just a moment ago, suddenly turn into a pitiful, crying little girl.
Together with Miyazaki and Miyazaki, they put on a grand show in front of Lady Kirihime.
The final hidden arrow that flew in brought the event to its climax.
