"I want to learn too!"
Gongsun Ziyu said as she reached out to push the door.
Hong Xiu stepped sideways, blocking her path: "Second Miss, today is not the day. This is the madam's order."
Gongsun Ziyu could lash her whip at anyone, but she could never strike Hong Xiu.
Hong Xiu was her mother's trusted confidante and greatly valued by her.
Gongsun Ziyu said discontentedly, "There's a traitor in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion!"
Hong Xiu remained unmoved.
Gongsun Ziyu, realizing she truly couldn't enter, couldn't help but feel curious: "What could be more important than catching a traitor?"
Inside the room.
Gongsun Liuying's hand trembled slightly as she held the silver needle, aiming at a wooden mannequin's acupuncture point for some time, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.
"It's still not working!"
She loosened her grip, letting the silver needle fall onto the desk. "Mother, I can't keep the silver needle steady anymore."
