Chapter 468: Shang Jiu Seeks Revenge

Zhaixing Tower.

Gongsun Yanming was teaching Shang Wuyou how to play chess.

Tan'er was running around outside.

"So boring, so boring... Entering the palace but not being able to go to the rear palace, what's the point of coming here..."

Only the rear palace had juicy gossip, while Guoshi Dian only had bird droppings!

Splat.

A lump of bird droppings fell from the sky.

Tan'er grabbed the flag of Guoshi Dian to shield her head, "You big bird, if you dare to poop on my forehead again, I'll have my sister stew you!"

The hunting falcon swiftly flew away.

As Gongsun Yanming was playing chess, he suddenly seemed to lose focus for a moment.

"Checkmate."

Shang Wuyou said.

Gongsun Yanming's gaze returned to the chessboard.

As expected, he had lost.

"Guoshi, Guoshi, a major incident has occurred!"

A disciple rushed into the room with a panicked expression.

Shang Wuyou asked, "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry? Has Yan Elder not cured the Grand Princess's little nephew?"

The disciple stammered, "He...he's cured...not by Yan Madam...but by her disciple...and...and Miss Gongsun...she fainted—"

Gongsun Liuying fainted in Jiang Huifei's palace. Lu Yuan wasn't the only one trying to distance herself from the situation; Jiang Huifei also wanted to avoid trouble and immediately said to the Liang Emperor, "Your Majesty, please send her to the Grand Princess's palace for treatment quickly."

Empress Dowager Hu was furious.

At this critical moment, Gongsun Liuying was like a hot potato. Would she dare to take her in? What if something happened to her in her palace? She never expected Gongsun Liuying to be so sensitive to stimuli.

Clenching her handkerchief, she spoke to Yan Madam with annoyance, "Yan Elder, why haven't you had your disciple check on Liuying yet?"

Meng Qianqian said, "I'm willing to examine her, but is the Grand Princess truly at ease? As long as the Grand Princess is assured, I'll treat her immediately."

Empress Dowager Hu remained silent for a long time.

What this girl meant was, if something happened to Liuying, would she blame her? She wasn't going to be the scapegoat! A sharp glint flashed in the Liang Emperor's eyes, and he instructed Eunuch Yu, "Go and inform the Guoshi."

Eunuch Yu replied, "Yes."

He sent Xiao De Zi to deliver the message to Guoshi Dian, "You know what to say, I don't need to tell you, right?"

Xiao De Zi said, "Foster father, rest assured, I understand. I won't speak nonsense!"

Being adopted by Eunuch Yu, how could he not be clever? He only said that Nie Xiaogongzi had cured the patient, Gongsun Miss had fainted, and nothing more.

Soon, Xiao De Zi returned with a report.

"Your Majesty, the Guoshi sincerely requests to bring Miss Gongsun back to Qianji Pavilion for treatment."

The Liang Emperor approved.

Eunuch Yu immediately arranged for palace maids and a palanquin to send Gongsun Liuying out of the palace.

While waiting for Gongsun Liuying, Tan'er quietly climbed over the wall of Guoshi Dian, only to be caught by Shang Wuyou who was waiting on the other side.

"Where are you going?"

Shang Wuyou asked.

Tan'er sat on the wall, "Do you want to stop me?"

Shang Wuyou's expression turned serious, "This isn't Qianji Pavilion. If something happens, I'll still cover for you."

Tan'er scoffed, "Who needs your cover? I'm going to find my sister!"

Shang Wuyou said calmly, "Your sister is currently having an audience with His Majesty. There are top experts from the inner palace by His Majesty's side, along with countless archers. You can go, but if you get shot and become a porcupine, will your sister still recognize you?"

Tan'er looked up at the sky, "Don't scare me. I've been to the imperial palace before! I can walk sideways in the Zhou Dynasty's palace!"

Shang Wuyou said, "How can the Zhou Dynasty's imperial palace compare to the Wu Dynasty's? Yes, the Liang Dynasty's imperial palace is smaller than the Zhou Dynasty's, but its defense is definitely more stringent."

Tan'er pouted.

"Let's go."

Shang Wuyou reached out to pull her.

Tan'er struggled, "Why? I'm not going! I want to find my sister! I want to find Bao Zhuzhu! My precious Bao Zhuzhu—"

Meanwhile, the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion had also received the news.

Gongsun Yu and Xiao Rong Er anxiously waited at the entrance.

When they saw Gongsun Yanming's carriage returning, the two immediately approached.

Gongsun Yu asked with deep concern, "Big Brother, how is Liuying?"

Gongsun Yanming replied, "Let's talk inside."

"Alright."

Gongsun Yu averted his gaze and stepped aside.

Xiao Rong Er climbed into the carriage, "Liuying, Liuying, wake up, don't scare me..."

Gongsun Yu glanced at his furrowed-browed older brother, then at the tightly shut carriage curtain, hesitating to speak. After a moment, he said, "Sister-in-law, let's take Liuying back to her room first. Elder You is already waiting."

Xiao Rong Er wiped her tears and handed Liuying to the maid, carrying her back to her room.

Without a single mistake, she finished reading the book in one go.

Elder You finished diagnosing Gongsun Liuying's pulse and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Rong Er choked up, "Elder You, what's wrong with Liuying?"

Gongsun Yu also asked, "Yes, Elder You, is Liuying's condition severe? She was fine this morning. Could someone have poisoned her?"

Elder You looked at Gongsun Yanming.

Xiao Rong Er understood and said to Hong Xiu, "You all go outside."

"Yes."

Hong Xiu led all the maids out of the courtyard.

Xiao Rong Er said, "Elder You, you can speak now."

Elder You sighed, "Forgive my bluntness, but the young miss... is neither ill nor injured."

Xiao Rong Er was puzzled, "Neither ill nor injured? Then why is she like this? Could it be that she's possessed?"

Elder You cupped his hands, "My medical skills are limited, and this is all I know. Perhaps Elder Yan can take a look at the young miss."

Gongsun Yanming said, "Thank you."

Elder You picked up his medicine box and left.

"Big Brother..."

"Go to the study."

"Alright."

Gongsun Yu turned back to look at the unconscious Gongsun Liuying, unable to hide his concern. With a grave expression, he followed Gongsun Yanming to the study.

"Big Brother, I heard that someone from Wu Mountain has arrived."

Gongsun Yanming's eyes narrowed, "The Divine Maiden sent the Qinglian Sword and asked Lady Feng to draw it. Liuying failed."

Gongsun Yu was startled, surprised but not entirely.

"If she failed, just say the sword is fake!" Gongsun Yu exclaimed.

Gongsun Yanming said, "Elder Yan's disciple succeeded."

Gongsun Yu was shocked, "That girl, Yan Xiao Jiu? The one Zi Yu keeps threatening to kill? How could she possibly draw the Qinglian Sword? Liuying is the real Lady Feng!"

Gongsun Yanming stared at the Luo Pan in his hand.

Since one had been stolen, the remaining one could only calculate half of the heavenly secrets.

Gongsun Yu walked around to Gongsun Yanming's side and asked in disbelief, "Could that girl be the real Lady Feng? But that can't be right. Lady Feng was killed long ago, and the ages don't match up either. If Shang Jiu were alive, she would be twenty-six or twenty-seven this year, but that girl looks only sixteen or seventeen."

"Big Brother, Liuying suddenly fainted. Could it be related to this? Because she lost the Lady Feng destiny pattern, Liuying..." Gongsun Yu trailed off, "Big Brother, this is a big problem!"

Gongsun Yanming gazed at the Luo Pan in his hand, "It is somewhat troublesome."

Gongsun Yu clenched his teeth, "Shang Jiu is dead. Where could Lady Feng possibly come from? This is clearly a plot by Wu Mountain!"

Gongsun Yanming muttered thoughtfully, "Shang Jiu, Shang Jiu..."
