Chapter 508
Elder Yue, who had just returned to the Council of Elders, was planning to go to Elder Xue's room to talk to him, but on the way he ran into a guard who was looking for someone.
"Can you say that again!"
Elder Yue looked at the guard in disbelief and shouted, "Do you know what you are talking about? How could someone steal something from the Zheng Palace and leave safely?"
"Your Highness, everything I said is true! Today, Master Zheng and the great demon beside him were not in Zheng Palace. It is said that the thief is also a demon from the Great Wilderness, and is extremely good at hiding. Even the great demon beside Master Zheng did not find any trace of him."
Elder Xue and Elder Hua, who had already fallen asleep in the Elders' Courtyard, also put on their cloaks and rushed over after hearing Elder Yue's roar.
"What's wrong with Old Yue?"
Elder Hua was the first to rush to Elder Yue. Although their relationship had broken down because of Gong Ziyu's matter, these issues could be resolved later before major issues arose.
"Lao Hua! He said that when we went to Yu Palace, a demon from the Great Wilderness who was good at hiding came to Zheng Palace and stole Gong Yuanzheng's unfinished poison. He, he, he, he fled to the back mountain. He! He stabbed my son, and now his life or death is unknown!"
Elder Yue's legs went weak and he was about to fall to the ground. Elder Hua quickly tried to steady Elder Yue, but Elder Yue kept falling to the ground!
"Lao Yue! Let's go to the back mountain and check! Maybe Xiao Yue is okay! Aren't Xue Zhongzi and the others still there?"
Elder Hua spoke to calm Elder Yue down, and took Elder Yue, whose legs were weak, and the guards toward the back mountain.
Elder Xue, who had quietly arrived, heard half of what was said, "Lao Yue, Lao Hua, where are you going? Why are you still not sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing?"
At this moment, Elder Yue's heart was completely focused on Young Master Yue, whose life or death was said to be in danger in the back mountain, and he was speechless.
Elder Hua took over from Elder Yue and briefly explained the situation to Elder Xue, "A demon came to the Zheng Palace, stole Gong Yuanzheng's unfinished research, fled to the back mountain and stabbed Master Yue. We are rushing to the Moon Palace again!"
Elder Xue was also stunned after hearing this, "What! Zheng Palace could be stolen! Are you kidding me?"
Elder Xue’s first reaction was that Elder Hua and the others were lying, but looking at Elder Yue’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying.
Elder Hua did not explain any more, and together with the guards, he supported Elder Yue and walked towards the Moon Palace. Elder Xue watched as they walked away, feeling a little worried, and hurriedly followed.
The four of them came all the way to the Moon Palace, and saw rows of Green Jade Servants and Yellow Jade Servants standing at the gate of the Moon Palace. They were all from the Horn Palace. Elder Yue could not bear to see such a scene, and he fainted.
Elder Hua was frightened by Elder Yue's action, "Ah, hey, hey! Old Yue! Old Yue, hold on!"
Elder Xue also hurried forward to take Elder Yue from the guards. Looking at the guards standing there in a daze, he shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and get someone to find a doctor!"
Elder Hua suddenly remembered that the doctors at the palace gate were all in Zheng Palace, but Zheng Palace had been closed all the time and no one could invite anyone in. "Hurry up and send us to the Moon Palace! What are you still standing there for! Go find a boat!"
After a chaos at the gate of the Moon Palace, the unconscious Elder Yue, the anxious Elder Hua, and the angry Elder Xue finally entered the Moon Palace.
As soon as the three elders arrived at the Moon Palace, they saw Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi from the Snow Palace, and Hua Gongzi from the Flower Palace already waiting there.
Not only the guardian of the back mountain and the third young master of the palace had arrived at the Moon Palace, but also Gong Shangjiao of the front mountain and Gong Yuanzheng of the closed palace had arrived.
The moment Elder Hua saw Gong Yuanzheng, his anxiety erupted like a volcano. He quickly shouted, "Yuanzheng, come and see Elder Yue!"
Gong Yuanzheng heard Elder Hua's call, slowly turned around, and his eyes fell on the unconscious Elder Yue. However, just as he was about to speak, Gong Shangjiao suddenly interrupted and said, "Elder Hua, Brother Yuanzheng just stabilized Master Yue's condition, and he is still very weak! I think we should let Xue Chongzi take a look at Elder Yue first!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Hua noticed Gong Yuanzheng's pale face and his shaky body, and a feeling of guilt welled up in his heart.
At this moment, Elder Xue also noticed Young Master Yue lying on the bed in front of Gong Yuanzheng. He was pale and bloodless, lying there unconsciously.
Elder Hua also noticed Master Yue's condition and nodded quickly, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Xue Zhongzi."
At this time, Xue Zhongzi had already walked quickly to the front of the three elders. He looked at Elder Yue lying on the bed expressionlessly, and then said calmly: "Put him there!"
Elder Xue and Elder Hua looked at each other, then carefully carried Elder Yue to the couch on the other side. Xue Chongzi walked to the couch, stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Elder Yue's wrist, and began to check his pulse.
After a while, Xue Zhongzi slowly withdrew his hand and said to Elder Xue and Elder Hua: "Elder Yue just couldn't catch his breath and passed out. He will wake up naturally after a while."
Elder Hua and Elder Xue also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xue Chongzi's diagnosis, but when they turned around and saw Young Master Yue lying on the bed, their hearts were lifted up again.
"Yuanzheng! What's going on with this Xiaoyue?"
"What's going on at the palace gate today? Zhiren from the front mountain has come back with hysteria, and Xiaoyue from the back mountain is in a state of uncertainty about whether she's dead or alive!"
Elder Hua was concerned about the safety of Young Master Yue, but Elder Xue mentioned Gong Ziyu first and then Young Master Yue.
Except for the unconscious Young Master Yue and Elder Yue, everyone present knew that Elder Xue was more concerned about Gong Ziyu's curable hysteria than Young Master Yue, whose life was hanging by a thread.
"Reporting to Elder Hua, Master Yue was stabbed by a bone spur from a monster in the Great Wilderness. The poison of that monster is easy to cure, but I applied a new type of poison on the bone spur. However, I have not yet completed the research on that poison, so."
Gong Yuanzheng shrank shyly behind his brother Gong Shangjiao and answered Elder Hua's questions in a low voice. As for Elder Xue's complaints, no one paid any attention to them.
After hearing Gong Yuanzheng's explanation, Elder Hua almost fainted like Elder Yue. "So how is Xiaoyue now?"
Gong Shangjiao protected Gong Yuanzheng and stopped him from speaking. "Now, Brother Yuanzheng has stabilized the situation for Master Yue, but the monster poison has been improved by Brother Yuanzheng, and he plans to use it on the assassin without a front in the dungeon later."
Gong Shangjiao paused for a moment and continued, "Because it is used for interrogation, the monster poison has been improved. Although it can be easily removed, it comes with a side effect of excruciating pain, and it will occur every midnight. Coupled with the new poison developed by brother Yuanzheng, it can be said that it can cause people so much pain that they don't even have the ability to commit suicide."
After listening to Gong Shangjiao's introduction, Elder Hua immediately sat down on the ground, "So, Xiaoyue!"
Elder Hua glanced at the faces of everyone present one by one. Gong Yuanzheng and the others avoided Elder Hua's sight. "Xiaoyue is still so young! Is there really no other way? If Xiaoyue is gone, how will Laoyue survive?"
Elder Hua thought of Elder Yue who treated Master Yue like his own son, "Yuan Zheng, tell me, how likely is it that the poison in Xiao Yue can be cured?"
Gong Yuanzheng held up three fingers, and Elder Hua's face lit up with joy. "Seventy percent sure?"
Gong Yuanzheng shook his head. "Only 30%! Because the newly researched poison has not been fully developed, many of the herbs have long been extinct. I also got a portion from my father. Now, the herbs my father sent have been contaminated by the thief who broke into the Zheng Palace. They are completely unusable."
Elder Hua experienced a fall from heaven to hell, and after being rescued, he fell heavily to the ground again.
"Is there really nothing we can do? He's not even thirty yet, and Lao Yue hasn't even seen him marry or have children! Aren't you asking Lao Yue to bury the young before her?"
Elder Hua choked up and looked at Elder Yue who was still in a coma with reluctance.
The moment Elder Xue and the others came in, Li Lun, along with Shangguan Qian and Gong Huanyu, transformed into a pile of locust leaves and left the Moon Palace.
After returning to Jiao Palace, Shangguan Qian and Gong Huanyu said nothing and left the Jiao Palace hall normally. Shangguan Qian's blood-stained outer garment had been taken off by Gong Huanyu long ago, and Li Lun moved his fingers slightly and a demonic fire burned it without leaving any trace.
After Shangguan Qian and Gong Huanyu left, Li Lun felt a little lost, but he did not stay for too long. He turned around and stepped out of the palace gate again, walking towards the direction where Hua Yu was.
At this time, Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling were in the room, and the atmosphere was quite charming. Hua Yu's delicate body was half leaning on Zhang Qiling, and both of them were breathing a little fast, as if they had just experienced a passionate love affair.
However, at this critical moment, Li Lun suddenly broke into the room without any warning. His appearance was like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky, instantly breaking the charming atmosphere in the room.
Hua Yu was frightened by this sudden situation, and his screams echoed in the room, "Get out!"
Li Lun had not expected such a scene at all. He stood there in astonishment, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief. His eyes involuntarily fell on Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling. Their postures made him curious, and he didn't understand what they were doing.
There seemed to be some strange smell in the air, and Li Lun subconsciously sniffed it, trying to figure out what it was. However, before he could smell it carefully, Hua Yu was furious and directly pinched his fingers, throwing Li Lun away like a rag doll.
Li Lun's body drew an arc in the air, and then fell heavily into the grass outside the door. He rolled several times in the grass before finally stopping.
When Li Lun struggled to get up from the bushes, he looked very miserable. His neatly combed hair was now a mess, with weeds hanging on his smooth hair, as if he had just crawled out of a beggar's den. His clean clothes had been torn by the branches in the bushes, revealing his skin.
Li Lun instantly turned from a graceful nobleman into a sloppy little beggar.
When Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling reappeared, Li Lun was kneeling on the grass, looking at them with a dull look.
Hua Yu looked at Li Lun with a sullen face and said angrily, "Next time you come, can you please knock on the door? I really spoil you too much! Is the door placed there for you to see? If something like this happens again, I will lock you up in your Huaijiang Valley and won't let you out!"
When Li Lun heard Hua Yu say that she would lock him up in Huaijiang Valley, he quickly got up, cast a cleansing spell on himself, cleaned himself from head to toe, and walked to Hua Yu.
"The palace is in chaos now. I don't know why Gong Ziyu suddenly had the idea to go to the ancestral hall. Then he found out that his brother Gong Huanyu was not dead, and he also learned about the evil deeds of his father Gong Hongyu and his aunt."
After hearing Li Lun's words, Hua Yu's expression improved a little, but only slightly better than before.
"What else? If that were the case, you wouldn't have come here in person. Yuanzheng would have just written a letter to inform me, or sent someone to tell me."
Hua Yu was coaxed back to the room by Zhang Qiling. She sat cross-legged on the rosewood and marble bed by the window. "What's Gong Shangjiao's reaction? He probably doesn't know that this was done by Yuan Zheng!"
Hua Yu knew without guessing that Gong Ziyu's visit to the ancestral hall must be related to Gong Yuanzheng. After all, Gong Yuanzheng had always disliked Gong Ziyu, let alone treated him well. How could Yuanzheng not let Gong Ziyu know about this matter now?
"Gong Shangjiao was out at that time. The matter of Gong Huanyu and the matter of Gong Hongyu and Ming Wuji were exposed by Shangguan Qian. Moreover, the information was already outdated. No matter how capable Gong Shangjiao was, he couldn't find any problems."
Hua Yu slowly reached out his hand and took the teacup from Zhang Qiling. The tea in the cup was still steaming. He carefully brought the cup to his lips and took a sip, letting the warm tea moisten his hoarse throat from shouting too much.
After relieving the discomfort in her throat a little, Hua Yu put down her teacup, stared at Li Lun, and asked, "What else? There should be more than just this incident happening in the palace now!"
Li Lun hesitated for a moment, as if considering how to answer. After a while, he finally spoke: "The guard beside Gong Ziyu went to find Gong Zishang at first. But for some reason, he was driven out of the Shang Palace by Gong Zishang."
Hua Yu frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by this situation. He continued to ask: "Then what? Where did the guard go next?"
Zhang Qiling took a deep breath and continued, "Later, the guard went to find Gong Shangjiao again. Originally, if Gong Shangjiao didn't know about these things, he might have gone to see Gong Ziyu. But the problem is that he now knows that the deaths of his parents and brother are related to Gong Hongyu. In this case, how could he still go to see Gong Ziyu? I think that he was trying his best to control his anger by not going straight to Gong Hongyu with a knife."
After hearing this, Hua Yu couldn't help but sigh: "That's right. After all, no matter how much he believes in not pointing his blade at the Gongmen people, he can't forget the blood feud between him and Gong Ziyu's father because of this incident!"
Li Lun then sent Gong Ziyu back to Yu Palace, where he went mad and had a conflict with the elders who loved him. Gong Yuanzheng also stabbed Yue Gongzi with the Qinyuan bone spur smeared with the soul-breaking stick, and Shangguan Qian took over Gong Yuanzheng's stick, and both of them were seriously injured.
As Hua Yu drank her tea, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "This is the first time Yuan Zheng has done something like this, and he was frightened again!"
Li Lun was stunned for a moment, "No, Gong Shangjiao covered his eyes and comforted him for a long time."
Hua Yu nodded without saying anything. After Li Lun told Hua Yu what happened at the palace gate, when he remembered the good thing that was interrupted by his sudden appearance, Li Lun quickly slipped back to the palace gate.
