Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Shangguan Qian tried hard to force herself to return to the courtyard. After closing the door, she saw the person who was supposed to accompany her brother suddenly appeared in her room.

"Master Jiao, is there anything else going on at this late hour?"

Shangguan Qian looked at the palm-sized box in the man's hand with some horror.

"I don't care whether you are the real Shangguan Qian or the fake Shangguan Qian! But I will only tell you one thing, don't touch Yuan Zheng, otherwise I will let you know what hell is!"

The hidden weapon in Gong Shangjiao's hand suddenly shot towards Shangguan Qian. Looking at the hidden weapon coming straight towards her, no matter how unwilling Shangguan Qian was, she had to admit that Gong Shangjiao was really cruel.

In order to avoid the oncoming hidden weapons, Shangguan Qian had no choice but to reveal the fact that she knew martial arts. Just as she came to her senses, she saw Gong Shangjiao standing in front of her, grabbing her neck.

"If you are willing to listen to me and pass on the news I want to tell the people behind you, I don't mind keeping an idle person in the Corner Palace. But if I find out that you have put your hands on Yuan Zheng, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Shangguan Qian's face turned red from being pinched. Looking at Gong Shangjiao's handsome face full of madness, she suddenly realized that her identity had been exposed long ago.

"Master Jiao, I am indeed not the daughter of the Shangguan family of Dafu City. I am the orphan of the Gushan Sect! When Wufeng destroyed the Gushan Sect, I escaped because I hid in a secret passage. Later, my grandfather Shangguan Xiong took me back to the Shangguan family. But they were reluctant to send their daughter Shangguan Ying to the palace, so they sent me in. I just hope to have a place to stay, nothing else!"

After hearing what Shangguan Qian said, Gong Shangjiao did not let go of his hand, but pressed harder. Shangguan Qian rolled her eyes. She felt her limbs were cold and weak, and her breathing was getting heavier. Suddenly, the next moment, Shangguan Qian's neck was released and she collapsed to the ground.

"I don't believe a word you say. I told you to be obedient. The news you want to send out depends on whether I want you to know it or not."

Gong Shangjiao's foot stepped directly on Shangguan Qian's leg. Shangguan Qian only felt her leg creaking. Sure enough, the next moment she heard a crisp sound. Her calf was broken and Shangguan Qian screamed.

"Since you accidentally broke your leg, you should take good care of it! Yun Weishan will go into the palace with you. If you feel bored, you can ask her to accompany you."

After Gong Shangjiao finished speaking, he left Shangguan Qian's room. After Gong Shangjiao left, two maids came out of the door and helped Shangguan Qian to the bed. The doctor also came to Shangguan Qian.

"Miss Shangguan fell quite badly, she needs to recuperate for a while. I will prescribe some medicine for you. This is the ointment to be applied on the wound. Please apply it on you, twice a day."

The doctor felt the patient's pulse and squeezed the broken leg through the clothes. He then stepped back a few meters and instructed two maids through the gauze curtain to fix the broken leg. He also wrote a few prescriptions and a bottle of ointment and handed them to the maids.

"Miss Shangguan, the Palace Master just told us to serve you well. Please give us your guidance in the coming days."

Shangguan Qian looked at the twins standing on her left and right with a pale face. Her body trembled slightly and she felt a little cold, but she still had to gather her strength to deal with the two spies sent by Gong Shangjiao to keep an eye on her. "Then I'm sorry to bother you two girls. I don't know what to call you."

"I am Qingnv, and this is my sister Qingyun."

Shangguan Qian finished washing up with the help of Qingnv and Qingyun. She lay flat on the bed, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands. Her heart was in a mess, and she always felt that everything seemed to be far beyond her imagination.

Before Shangguan Qian even stepped into the palace, rumors about the most powerful person in the palace were already well-known. This person was Gong Shangjiao. When Gong Shangjiao just came of age, he couldn't wait to take over the important position of Jiaogong Palace Master. However, the palace had just experienced war and the situation was turbulent. Despite this, the whole world did not have too many expectations for this young man who had just started out.

Shangguan Qian's understanding of Gong Shangjiao mostly comes from her strict instructor, Jackdaw Qi. According to Jackdaw Qi, when Gong Shangjiao first entered the martial arts world, his shocking first strike was towards Wufeng, who was feared by everyone in the martial arts world. He was seen riding a horse alone, leading only thirty guards, and he successively defeated the eighteen secret sentries carefully arranged by Wufeng! This feat was like a thunderbolt that broke through the sky, instantly shocking the entire martial arts world.

Since then, Gong Shangjiao's name quickly spread throughout the country, and he became a well-known legend. After that, he was not satisfied with this, but set his sights on another battlefield full of blood and fighting - the business world. There, businessmen were scheming against each other, and the danger was no less than the life-and-death contest in the underworld. However, Gong Shangjiao, with his extraordinary wisdom and resolute means, fought his way out of the siege among many cunning businessmen like old oil sticks, and finally established his unshakable lofty position in the underworld with his own strength.

Compared to other characters, in the vast sea of ​​intelligence controlled by Wu Feng, Gong Yuanzheng was initially an inconspicuous and ordinary character. He was like an ordinary stone on the roadside, no one paid attention to him, no one cared about him. If it weren't for Gong Shangjiao's protection and love, he would probably never have entered people's field of vision and would have remained unknown.

However, something unexpected happened. This child who was once despised by everyone actually showed amazing talent and ability. With his wisdom and hard work, he successfully developed a magical herb that can resist the erosion of hundreds of poisons - Baicaocu. Not only that, he also created a series of terrifying and highly toxic drugs such as Songxianchen and Zishiye. These achievements surprised everyone. Who would have thought that the insignificant child now has such an amazing ability!

Since then, Wu Feng's intelligence gathering on Gong Yuan Zheng has become particularly fanatical, just like a group of hungry hyenas smelling the scent of prey. Any movement related to Gong Yuan Zheng, even the slightest clue, will become Wu Feng's target. Because they know very well that every piece of information about Gong Yuan Zheng may bring a rich reward.

Unfortunately, despite all his efforts, Wu Feng still had very little useful information about Gong Yuanzheng. Apart from knowing that he would go to Tiandu every six months and live there for half a year before returning, Wu Feng knew nothing about his appearance, real age, and more details. The only thing that was certain was that Gong Yuanzheng's latest new poisons were often quietly put on the market for sale at the Gongmen stronghold.

In the past few years, Shangguan Qian showed extraordinary wisdom and extremely delicate mind. After careful planning and clever layout, she finally found an opportunity and successfully poisoned the dreaded leader of the Wufeng organization, Dianzhu.

This poison was extremely toxic and took effect very quickly. After being poisoned, Dian Zhu knew that he would not live long, but he was unwilling to die like this, so he issued one order after another, sending countless assassins of the second level of demons to sneak into the palace, trying to steal the extremely precious Baicaocu to detoxify and save his life.

Shangguan Qian, on the other hand, silently prayed in his heart that the assassins would fail. Because only in this way, Dian Zhu would die of poison due to lack of antidote. In fact, Shangguan Qian also had a subtle smugness in his heart. If Dian Zhu really died, the powerful Wufeng organization would surely fall into a situation of leaderlessness and chaos. By then, even if the palace gate did not take action, the other sects that had been persecuted by Wufeng for a long time would definitely take the opportunity to unite and launch a fierce attack on Wufeng, destroying it completely.

But things in the world are often unpredictable. Just when Shangguan Qian was expecting to die from the bamboo poison, a shocking news came: a female assassin actually succeeded in stealing Baicao Cui from the heavily guarded palace gate and escaped alive and well!

Shangguan Qian was shocked to hear the news, and at the same time she was filled with anger and resentment. What made her even more angry was that she later heard that the female assassin seemed to have betrayed the Wufeng organization and was eventually killed.

Since then, Shangguan Qian has been secretly asking around for the name of the female assassin. She swore with gritted teeth that she must find the woman who ruined her plans, and then tear her into pieces and grind her bones to ash!

After all, she had finally managed to poison Dian Zhu, and when victory was in sight, Dian Zhu was about to die, but because of this damned female assassin's interference, Dian Zhu was able to linger on and continue to live. How could she tolerate such a great humiliation?

Shangguan Qian kept thinking about it in her mind until dawn approached and she slowly fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.

Shangguan Qian is a woman who knows the current situation very well. Seeing that her identity has been known by Gong Shangjiao, she simply doesn't want to hide it anymore. After all, she still wants to live. Even if she dies, she has to wait until Dianzhu dies before she dies, right?

Shangguan Qian estimated that among all the people in the palace, only Gong Shangjiao had the ability to kill Dianzhu. Although cooperating with him would be disadvantageous, the advantage would be that Dianzhu would die. For revenge, she didn't mind cooperating with Gong Shangjiao.

"Ms. Qing, please fetch me a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I need to talk to Master Jiao about something."

Shangguan Qian sat on the bed waiting for Qingnv to bring her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down her true identity on the paper. She did not lie, she was indeed the orphan of the Gushan Sect, and she was indeed the blood of the Shangguan family. But what she did not say last night was that the Shangguan family had long since defected to Wufeng, and it was their reluctant granddaughter/daughter that sent her, the daughter of a married woman, to Wufeng.

After receiving Shangguan Qian's letter, Gong Shangjiao read it quickly and then burned it.
