The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 157 Cloud Feather 16

Gong Ziyu's voice was as soft and sorrowful as autumn leaves falling, and her slender figure seemed to bear the weight of the entire world. Every word struck Lady Wuji's heart.

"Aunt! I have already lost my mother, and then my father and brother. Now you are the closest person to me in this world!"

He looked directly at Lady Mist with wounded eyes, his voice filled with helplessness and longing:

“Auntie, tell me you didn’t do those things, and you’re not the Unsworded Assassin! Just say one word and I’ll believe you!”

Lady Mist Princess's lips trembled, her heart aching as if being torn apart.

From the moment Lady Lan entered the palace, she was unhappy. After giving birth, she became even more depressed, often sitting in one place, silent and ignoring Old Master Zhi Ren and his son who had half of Zhi Ren's blood.

Therefore, she had been taking care of Gong Ziyu since he was born, and after Madam Lan passed away early, she treated Gong Ziyu as her own son.

She had protected Gong Ziyu for twenty years, so how could she bear to hurt him or deceive him?

In an instant, Lady Wuji's chest surged with turmoil, and a thought burst forth in her mind—she wanted to confess everything to Gong Ziyu.

"Ziyu, I..."

But when the words reached her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say them.

Just as Lady Mist Princess was struggling with her dilemma, a hidden arrow pierced through the air, creating a slight whooshing sound. The sharp tip of the arrow pierced through the window paper and headed straight for Lady Mist Princess's back.

whoosh-

Lady Mist was facing away from the window and was in a moment of distraction, so she was completely unaware of the approaching arrow!

Gong Ziyu's eyes suddenly sharpened like an eagle's. He pulled Lady Wuji behind him, a red mark appeared on his forehead, and an invisible power emanated from him. The swiftly approaching hidden arrow finally landed three feet away from him with a 'clang'.

"Chase!" Gong Ziyu pointed towards the window and shouted sharply.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng at the door dared not delay and immediately chased after the direction from which the hidden arrow had been shot, their figures quickly disappearing into the night.

A look of disbelief flashed in Lady Mist's eyes as she murmured, "Why did he want to kill me?"

"Who is this 'he' you're talking about, Aunt?" Gong Ziyu asked hurriedly.

Lady Mist Princess shook her head, a bitter smile appearing on her lips, with no intention of hiding anything anymore.

……

Lady Kirihime, whose real name is Myokihime!

Her father, Mingxiong, was once a master swordsmith from all over the world, capable of forging blades as thin as cicada wings and sharp enough to cut paper and hair.

The mother was gentle and beautiful, and the younger brother was lively and adorable. The family lived a happy life until a tragedy quietly struck.

Her mother died because of the sword her father forged. Her father was heartbroken and vowed never to forge swords again. He led her and her younger brother to live a secluded life in the mountains, intending to cherish the memory of his deceased wife and raise his children to adulthood.

Unexpectedly, his exceptional sword-making skills attracted the covetousness of Wufeng, who repeatedly asked for the sword, but was refused each time.

Wu Feng's patience finally ran out. In a fit of anger, he sent men to imprison Ming Xiong and his son, and threatened Ming Xiong to forge a sword by threatening Ming Wu Ji's safety. For his daughter's sake, Ming Xiong willingly became Wu Feng's servant from then on.

Meanwhile, when Mingwu Ji woke up, she found her father and brother missing. She mistakenly believed that she had been abandoned by her family. In despair, she was tricked by Wufeng into becoming an assassin. After undergoing Wufeng's ruthless training, she became a Mei-rank assassin among Wufeng's demons and monsters, with the alias "Nameless".

Her first mission was to lead the Wufeng assassins to infiltrate Jiangnan and assassinate Gong Hongyu, who was then the young master.

Unexpectedly, Gong Hongyu possessed exceptional martial arts skills and killed all the assassins she brought.

Hidden in the shadows, she witnessed Gong Hongyu falling in love at first sight with Miss Yang from the Yang family of Suzhou.

After Gong Hongyu left, she immediately adjusted her strategy, abandoning her identity as an assassin and disguising herself as an ordinary peasant girl. She took the still-shaken Miss Yang back to her home, claiming that she had nowhere to go. Miss Yang kindly took her in and kept her by her side as her personal maid.

As time went by, Wu Feng became increasingly unscrupulous in the martial arts world. In order to seek the protection of the palace, the Yang family forced Miss Yang to enter the palace and become a bride-to-be.

When Gong Hongyu saw Miss Yang again, he was both surprised and delighted, believing it to be a predestined marriage. He happily married Miss Yang into the palace and bestowed upon her the title of Lady Lan.

To please Lady Lan, Gong Hongyu brought her personal maid, Mingwu Ji, into the palace.

Mingwu Ji meticulously planned to enter the palace for Wufeng's mission, but after meeting Lady Lan, she transformed from Wufeng's mere blade back into a flesh-and-blood human being.

She wholeheartedly stayed by Madam Lan's side. After Madam Lan gave birth, she took care of Madam Lan and the frail Gong Ziyu at the same time. Later, when Madam Lan passed away, she was heartbroken and felt sorry for Gong Ziyu, who had lost his mother at a young age. So she worked even harder to take care of Gong Ziyu and raised him as her own son.

For a long time, she had been trying her best to accompany Madam Lan and take care of Gong Ziyu. The only message she passed on to Wufeng was that the Gong family would be choosing a bride in twenty years.

Unsurprisingly, Mingwu Ji betrayed Wufeng. However, Wufeng then sent news of her younger brother. For her brother's safety, she had no choice but to serve Wufeng again. During one of her attempts to sneak into Gong Hongyu's study, she was caught red-handed by Gong Hongyu.

In fact, Gong Hongyu had already found out about her background when she entered the palace. However, seeing that she was deceived by Wu Feng and was not a real villain, he let her go and allowed her to stay at the palace gate, giving her a safe place to live, for which she was very grateful.

From then on, she lived a truly peaceful life, no longer needing to worry about her identity as Wufeng. Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye, and she had transformed from that maid into Lady Wuji.

Although she could not leave the palace and could only move around in the Old Dust Valley, this was still much better than being driven by Wu Feng to kill people and do things against her will.

Just when she thought life would continue like this, Gong Huanyu learned of her identity and used her younger brother to blackmail her into finding Wuliang Liuhuo. At the same time, he also told her that Gong Shangjiao coveted the position of Zhiren and had Gong Yuanzheng switch the Baicao Cui, which caused the old Zhiren, who should have been immune to all poisons, to die.

For her brother's safety and to seek justice for Old Master, she agreed to cooperate with Gong Huanyu and help him fake his death.

The reason she contacted Gong Shangjiao was also on Gong Huanyu's orders, with the aim of using it to strike at Gong Shangjiao.

Lady Wu Ji told Gong Ziyu everything, talking in bits and pieces for nearly an hour, before Gong Ziyu finally left Lady Wu Ji's residence.

When Gong Ziyu returned to the study, he saw Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng, and Jin Fan waiting inside.

Upon seeing him enter, Jin Fan immediately went to greet him and asked anxiously, "Zhi Ren, how are you? Did that hidden dart hurt you?"

God knows how panicked he was when he shot that arrow, fearing that Gong Ziyu would really be hurt.
