The system jumped to me

Corner Palace

Gong Shangjiao sipped the new tea and looked out at the bare flower bed.

At some point, those white azalea flowers quietly withered in the corner where no one cared.

There are many suspicious points about Ming Wu Ji's death tonight. If we really have to say who is a suspect, the last person who saw her during the day is definitely suspicious, but those two people are Ming Yue and Shangguan Qian.

One is a family member, the other is an ally, and they are well aware of each other's identities. There is no need for them to attack Wuming.

However, after investigation, it was found that there was no one inside the palace who met the requirements and had a motive to commit the crime.

Unless there really is a fourth Wufeng inside the palace, and this person has a conflict or grudge with Wuming, and is hiding so deeply, who could he be?

Shangguan Qian had always been a light sleeper. When he heard the noise of Gong Shangjiao going out, he immediately woke up. After asking the guards, he found out that Madam Wu Ji in the dungeon had been killed.

This is great. I was afraid that she would tell Gong Ziyu about my identity and mission when she met him tomorrow morning.

Although everyone on Gong Shangjiao's side knows my identity, if Gong Ziyu asks Wuming to testify and insists on holding on to this point and dragging me into this, it will be difficult to deal with.

It’s good like this now, I can die cleanly.

However, Wuming's death was too coincidental. I always felt that it had something to do with Mingyue. But she is not Wufeng, and she is not afraid that Wuming will complain to Gong Ziyu. There should be no reason for her to kill Wuming!

Shangguan Qian really couldn’t figure it out, but the current situation was very favorable to her anyway, so she simply stopped thinking about it and went to sleep.

Zheng Palace

Gong Yuanzheng first went back to his room to change clothes and wash up, and used his internal energy to warm up his body. Then he carefully lifted the quilt and hugged Mingyue, feeling the soft little ball in his arms, and then he sighed with contentment and closed his eyes.

(Okay, that's great. Ever since I talked about the experience last time, Wanwan has stopped treating me as an outsider. Haha, it's a pity that I don't want to watch you two show off your affection. I want to make an appointment with my good friends to watch a movie online. Hum—)

Hanemiya

Gong Ziyu let out a mournful cry and howled for Gong Yuanzheng's life.

"Auntie—Auntie—it must be Gong Yuanzheng who killed you. It must be. I haven't even seen you for the last time. How come you're gone? Auntie—Auntie..."

Jin Fan was leaning on a crutch with one hand and patting Gong Zi Yu Se's shoulder with the other hand to comfort her.

"Mr. Yu, I am sorry for your loss."

After this comfort, Gong Ziyu howled even louder.

"I want Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao to pay for my aunt's life - it's all because of them..."

Jin Fan sighed heavily and said

"Madam Wu Ji... is Wu Feng"

"So what? Auntie is so kind to me and has never hurt anyone..."

"Elder Yue..."

"Auntie definitely didn't do it on purpose. She has lived in the palace for so many years. If she really wanted to kill someone, she would have done it long ago. Someone must have coerced her."

"And Ah Yun, she has never harmed anyone since she entered the palace, and she has always comforted and helped me. She is so kind and sensible, why can't we let her go?"

Jin Fan sighed and stopped talking.

Shang Palace

Gong Zishang and Hua Gongzi were still adjusting the formula of gunpowder. Their faces were covered in black ash, and they were laughing at each other, thinking they were smart.

"Palace Master Shang, the guards came to report that Madam Wu Ji was murdered tonight."

The copper spoon in Gong Zishang's hand fell onto the table with a clang, and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly. Hua Gongzi hurried to help him.

"I... Madam Wuji is very kind to me. Every time I go to Yugong to play, she will bring me a lot of delicious food, tell me stories, and give me new clothes. She is such a gentle person. I never thought that she would be a bladeless assassin."

Gong Zishang looked sad, with two lines of tears in his eyes.

“When I heard the news that she was taken away by Gong Yuanzheng, I thought it was a joke, but the elders also said that she was Wu Feng and would not allow me to plead for her.”

"I just thought that as long as I was still alive, I might be able to ask the elders to reduce the punishment after a while. But I didn't expect to receive the news of my wife's death so soon..."

Gong Zishang could no longer hold on and cried bitterly on Hua Gongzi's shoulder.
