Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

When Zhuo Yichen brought Gong Yuanzheng to Hua Yu again, he was holding him in his hands, in his arms, and at his feet.

"Have you emptied my private vault?" Hua Yu looked at Zhuo Yichen who returned with a full load. Although she said words of blame, there was no trace of blame in her tone.

"Dad! I'm helping you clean up your private vault! These are things you can't use, you might as well give them to the expedition. It's their honor, isn't it!" Zhuo Yichen is not stupid. Since dad let them in, he must have sorted out all the things needed for the expedition.

As soon as he opened the boxes containing treasures, he knew that they were all suitable for the current expedition.

Gong Yuanzheng held the things that Zhuo Yichen had stuffed into his private vault in his arms, quietly moved behind him, and tugged at his sleeves, "Second brother! Why don't we put some back? We really took too much."

"Don't be afraid of Yuanzheng! Daddy is just trying to scare us. These things were all prepared by Daddy early in the morning, just waiting for you to come and get them." Zhuo Yichen knew Hua Yu's bad taste too well, because he was often cheated, but he never learned his lesson. Next time, he would use the same trick again and be cheated again.

"Wow! Our young master is so amazing! He even guessed that I put these in there on purpose! It turns out that my younger brother is different after he left. His brain has become much more flexible."

Zhuo Yichen raised his chin and smiled proudly.

"Okay, now that you have obtained the treasures from me, let's go back quickly! My smart Lord Yuanbao!" Hua Yu stood up, walked to Zhuo Yichen, patted his little head, and hung a string of jade bells on Gong Yuanzheng's head.

"This is a gift from me to you. It may be of great use in the future!" Hua Yu winked at Gong Yuanzheng, then left the small hall with Zhang Qiling.

Zhuo Yichen put the things in his hand on the table in the water pavilion and called a servant over, "Please pack all these and send them to the Zhuo Mansion."

"Okay, little prince." The servant bowed and first found a team of maids to sort out the scattered treasures. Then he led a team of attendants to put the things onto the carriage one by one.

Hua Yu stood on a tall building and watched Zhuo Yichen and Gong Yuanzheng's carriage going away. "How is it?"

"The Second Prince is too cautious and refused to let me take his pulse. However, I noticed that his mind and spirit seemed unstable." Old Wang from the Zhuo Mansion stood behind Hua Yu.

"A faint soul has been wandering outside for so long and is suddenly sucked into a mortal body. It is normal for it to be unstable." Hua Yu placed his hand on the window hinge and tapped the wood lightly.

"I have also observed that there seem to be a variety of poisons accumulated in the Second Prince's body, and his meridians are also blocked. I will first take care of the Second Prince's body. When the time is right, I will remove the toxins from his body."

Hua Yu waved her hand and asked Mr. Wang to go down and prepare first.

On the other side, after Gong Huanyu, Gong Ziyu and two guards left Zhuo's house, no one knew what Gong Huanyu and Gong Ziyu said, and the two went their separate ways. Fortunately, Gong Hongyu prepared enough silver for them before they left the palace gate, in case they were short of silver.

Gong Ziyu's eyes widened, staring at the thick stack of banknotes and small change in his hand in disbelief. This was the first time in his life that he had such a huge amount of pocket money!

You know, his monthly salary is only a hundred taels, which is enough for him to go to Wanhua Tower to have a drink and have some fun. As for other things, don't even think about it, because it's not enough! And even if he wants to, he doesn't have the courage to spend money recklessly.

"Brother! Oh my god! How can there be so much money! Is this all specially prepared for us?" Gong Ziyu's face flushed with excitement, and he held Gong Huanyu's arm tightly with both hands, and looked eagerly at the purse on his waist. The purse was bulging, and it contained ten silver notes with a face value of up to 100 taels, and more than a dozen glittering silver coins.

Gong Huanyu smiled and nodded, then said to his brother earnestly: "Yes, these are indeed prepared by father for us. Although he is usually strict and even a little harsh with you, in the final analysis, he also hopes that you can succeed, and everything is for your own good. So in the future you can't be willful and reckless like before, and quarrel with father at the slightest disagreement." When saying this, Gong Huanyu couldn't help but think of the tense and gunpowder-filled atmosphere every time his father and brother met, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, as an elder brother, he knew that he had the responsibility to teach his younger brother. Although he also felt that this situation was a headache, he still had to be patient and give Gong Ziyu some advice: "You know, your father only has you as a child now. There is no parent in the world who doesn't love their children. You must cherish this father's love and work hard to make progress."

Gong Ziyu curled her lips and said, "I try my best, but every time he is the first to blame me, and he assumes it is my fault without asking the reason."

"Father loves you deeply and teaches you hard. He also hopes that you can succeed, doesn't he? After Madam Lan passed away, father also declined. Now he is only able to hold on because of you." Gong Huanyu looked at the brainless Gong Ziyu with something in his words.

"Zi Yu, you also know how I got the position of young master. Jiao Gong and Zheng Gong are staring at you closely. Now, Zheng Gong has another backer. If Gong Shangjiao does that to you... do you think you can still have the good life you have now with his methods?" Gong Huanyu and Gong Zi Yu were walking on the street, and the two guards lagged behind them a few steps.

The two of them strolled leisurely on the bustling street, the sun shining on the ground, casting patches of mottled light and shadow. Just as they were strolling leisurely, two beautifully decorated carriages slowly drove by, the sound of horse hooves was crisp and rhythmic. A breeze blew by, gently lifting a corner of the curtain on the window of one of the carriages. Through the narrow gap, the face of the person in the carriage was clearly visible, and it turned out to be the master of Zheng Palace mentioned by Gong Huanyu just now - Gong Yuanzheng!

Who is Gong Yuanzheng? He is the apple of Gong Shangjiao's eye and the apple of his eye. Although he is still young, he is very good at handling things under the influence of Gong Shangjiao.

At this moment, Gong Yuanzheng, sitting in the car, suppressed his anger and tried to control his emotions. After all, this was not inside the palace, but on the street outside. Even if there was a dispute between brothers, they must not lose face in front of outsiders, especially since this was the Tiandu City under the feet of the emperor. Therefore, he dared not act recklessly no matter what, for fear that he would cause trouble to the Zhuo family and become a laughing stock after dinner.

Gong Yuanzheng took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Second brother, I want to write a letter to you later." Zhuo Yichen, who was standing by, didn't think much about it and said casually: "Okay, then you can write the letter later. As for the things you bought here, I will help you sort them out and put them all in your private warehouse. By the way, I will let the embroiderer take away those pieces of fine fabrics later and make you a few new clothes."

After returning to Zhuo's house, Gong Yuanzheng picked up a pen and wrote down what he had just heard on the street. After recording it in detail, he stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to the guard assigned to him by his brother Gong Shangjiao.

"Send it to my brother as soon as possible." After the guard took the envelope, he immediately set off back to the palace gate.
