Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After staying in Tiandu for four or five days, the three siblings of Gong Huanyu prepared to return to the palace gate. After all, it was not convenient for them to stay outside the palace gate for long, as Wufeng was still staring at them covetously.

Gong Zishang made good use of every available moment during these few days to absorb everything he had learned from Old Jiang.

Gong Huanyu went out every now and then to make friends with anyone he could, but it was a pity. Tiandu City was not short of people with status. In the words of the people of Tiandu City, if a brick fell on any street, it would hit a person with status, either because his ancestors had been rich, or because he had good friends with powerful people, or because his family had complicated in-laws.

"Brother Yuanzheng, we will be preparing to go back tomorrow. You should take good care of yourself here. I will miss you." Gong Zishang looked at Gong Yuanzheng with tears in her eyes.

"What could possibly happen to me in my own home?" Gong Yuanzheng had never had any communication with Gong Zishang before.

In Gong Yuanzheng's impression, Gong Zishang has always been an unreliable person. Although his actions were a bit absurd, his brother said that Gong Zishang's situation was not much better than theirs.

"Miss Zishang, these are some clothes that Yuanzheng prepared for you. I heard that Miss Gong is in charge of the forging of weapons in the palace gate, and needs to deal with gunpowder all year round." The servant behind Zhuo Yixuan was holding a tray with two sets of light-colored clothes on it.

"These two pieces of clothing are made of Yuejian. They are impervious to swords and guns, and are not susceptible to water or fire. They are very suitable for people like the young lady who deal with weapons."

Gong Zishang stared blankly at the two sets of clothes in front of him. Without touching them, just looking at them with his eyes, he felt that it was too extravagant to wear clothes made of such expensive fabrics only when forging weapons.

"You look like you have never seen the world. I have received a lot of this kind of fabric recently, and I have too many clothes to wear, so I made two sets for you." Gong Yuanzheng has always been a person who speaks hard but is soft on the inside.

"Oh! Thank you very much, Brother Yuanzheng. This is the first time I wear such extravagant clothes!" Gong Zishang smiled and ignored Gong Yuanzheng's sharp tongue. After asking the maid to take the clothes, he talked for a while and then went back to his yard.

Gong Zishang returned to the courtyard and couldn't wait to take out the two sets of clothes and put them on. "Bitao, do you think I look good in these clothes?"

Bi Tao helped Gong Zishang straighten her clothes, and then looked at her young lady spinning around happily, "It looks good! How can it not look good? The young lady looks good in anything, but this dress makes her look even more beautiful."

After sorting out her clothes, Bi Tao found the matching accessories on the tray, "Miss, here are some matching accessories. I'll take them for you."

"I think Gong Yuanzheng is just a slightly poisonous tongue. But where do all those messy rumors in the palace come from?" Gong Zishang sat leisurely on an exquisite embroidered stool, one hand gently supporting her chin, the other holding a silver mercury mirror, looking at herself in the mirror carefully, while occasionally glancing at Bitao who was tying her hair behind her.

Bitao was concentrating on combing Gong Zishang's long black hair that fell like a waterfall, and carefully putting various exquisite hairpins and other accessories on her head one by one.

She skillfully fiddled with the objects in her hands while softly responding, "Miss! The Jiao Palace is now managed by Master Jiao as tightly as a copper wall and iron wall. No news can easily get out. And the Zheng Palace is completely Master Zheng's sphere of influence, and Master Jiao is supporting him behind the scenes. As for our Shang Palace... Besides, the Yu Palace has always been managed by Master Zhiren and the young master. The entire palace has so many complicated affairs. How can they take care of everything?"

After hearing this, Gong Zishang nodded thoughtfully, but couldn't help muttering: "No matter how busy you are, you can't be so busy that you won't hear any news, right? But why should I bother about it?" After saying that, she sighed softly and stopped talking.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the next morning. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the front of Zhuo's house was particularly lively. It turned out that Zhuo Yixuan and Gong Yuanzheng were standing side by side, quietly waiting for something.

It’s a pity that Zhuo Yichen was caught by Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling yesterday and has been taken away for additional training, so he was unable to come with us.

Gong Huanyu, Gong Ziyu and Gong Zishang stood side by side, quietly at the bottom of the steps. They bowed slightly and said in unison: "Master Zhuo, we will go back now."

Zhuo Yixuan looked at them with a smile on his face and said in a gentle tone: "Master Huanyu, Master Ziyu and Miss Zishang, I wish you a safe journey! But please don't let us hear any bad news along the way." However, such a seemingly ordinary sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting Gong Huanyu's heart.

At that moment, Gong Huanyu had an illusion that the man in front of him, who looked as gentle as jade, had seen through the secrets deep in his heart. This feeling made him shudder all over, but he soon regained his composure.

At this time, Zhuo Yixuan continued, "I have specially prepared some small gifts for you, and they have been properly placed on the carriage. When you set out on your return journey, you can slowly appreciate and savor them." After that, he waved his hand gently, signaling the servant beside him to lead the carriage to the front.

After the three brothers and sisters of the Gong family boarded the carriage and slowly left, Zhuo Yixuan turned and walked towards the direction of the Demon Collection Division. As he walked, he turned to his younger brother Gong Yuanzheng and said, "Yuanzheng, my eldest brother needs to go to the Demon Collection Division to deal with some urgent cases. You..."

Before Zhuo Yixuan could finish his words, Gong Yuanzheng couldn't wait to interrupt him, "Brother, I plan to visit Elder Wang later to discuss matters related to the prescription with him. These days, I have been studying with Elder Wang almost every day."

Zhuo Yixuan smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, nodded and said, "That's great! In that case, I'll take you there first." As he spoke, he gently took Gong Yuanzheng's hand, and the two walked along the street. Along the way, the two brothers talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Soon, they arrived in front of the quiet and peaceful medicine house of Mr. Wang.

"Mr. Wang, I'll leave my brother Yuanzheng to you. When I come back from the Demon Collection Bureau in the evening, I'll take him home." Zhuo Yixuan solemnly asked Mr. Wang who opened the door.

"What are you talking about, young master! Young Master Zheng is...'s younger brother, how could I do anything bad to him! Besides, he is in Zhuo Mansion, what is there to worry about?" Old Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead. All the monsters in Zhuo Mansion, big and small, knew that the third young master of Zhuo Mansion was the other half of the young prince, that is, the adopted son of Lord God. Even if they had thousands or tens of thousands of guts, they would not dare to do anything bad to him.

Besides, looking at the strong divine aura on Master Zheng, one can tell without guessing that it was a blessing bestowed upon him by the gods, who also placed a large amount of defensive power on him.

"What are you thinking about, Mr. Wang? I just asked you to take good care of Yuanzheng and not take him to some dangerous places in the back mountains." Zhuo Yixuan didn't know what storybook Mr. Wang had secretly read in the middle of the night.

"I was thinking wrong!" Old Wang smiled awkwardly.

"Then I'll leave first." Zhuo Yixuan said as he turned to leave, "Mr. Wang, don't stay up late to read those outrageous books. It will hurt your brain if you read too much."

Zhuo Yixuan's words made Wang Lao's beard fly up in anger, "You are a stinky boy who doesn't respect the elderly and loves the young!!!"
