Chapter Thirty-Nine: Cloud Feather CP Palace Expedition 9

But he would not give this miraculous medicine to an outsider, much less let anyone outside the palace know that he could cultivate the Cloud Lotus.

Even those inside the palace knew about this.

"That's good too. The doctors outside the palace gates all say I can only live for six or seven years at most. Your medical skills are indeed better than theirs."

Twenty or thirty years is enough for her to have fun with; if she's not satisfied, she can find another identity next time.

It doesn't matter whether she gets married or not, since she doesn't have any obligation to get married anyway.

Gong Yuanzheng raised an eyebrow, his mood improved considerably from the praise; his medical skills were indeed remarkable.

Once the medicine was brewed and cooled to a warm temperature, Song Xinning drank it all in one gulp.

"Then I'll go back to the women's quarters."

"Okay, come at this time every day to have your pulse checked and take your medicine. Don't touch any food or tea given by the other brides. If you are asked, just say that I told you to avoid certain foods."

My brother and Zhiren have agreed that you don't need to go to the marriage selection and evaluation. You can stay in the women's quarters and have to tell the matrons of the women's quarters when you come and go.

"You must be accompanied by maids wherever you go, and you cannot move freely within the palace gates. Aside from the medical clinic and the women's quarters, it's best not to go anywhere else."

Since they were going back to the Song family, it wasn't appropriate for Song Xinning to know too much about the layout and architecture of the palace gates.

"Okay, I'll stay in the women's quarters properly."

Song Xinning turned around impatiently, waved her hand behind her, and pulled the maid who brought her there as she ran out of the clinic.

"It's true, even after leaving home, I still get nagged."

Hearing Song Xinning's complaints, the maid lowered her head and pretended not to hear.

Among the young masters in the palace, the most respected was Gong Shangjiao, followed by Gong Huanyu.

Gong Ziyu was the most amiable to his servants, while Gong Yuanzheng, the prince, was the one he feared the most.

They respected people, after all, the medicines and other supplies for the guards were improved by Prince Zheng, which reduced the number of casualties among the guards.

However, the various poisons he developed instilled fear in them, and this fear escalated from the poisons themselves to the creator himself.

Shangguan Qian looked at Zheng Nanyi, who was sitting quietly opposite her, leaning weakly against the table.

"If I'm not mistaken, they originally intended to sacrifice you this time, but unexpectedly, that idiot took the blame instead."

Judging from her impatient behavior, she's probably just like you, a lowly scoundrel.

Shangguan Qianxiao's smile was gentle, and even her tone was very gentle, but the words that came out of her mouth were like knives.

Shangguan Qiansheng's beauty is delicate and charming; every move she makes seems to have a hook, making people's hearts itch with desire.

Unfortunately, the person sitting opposite her was a woman, a woman who was oblivious to romance and already had someone else in her heart.

"I am indeed lucky." Zheng Nanyi's tone was icy, but her gaze towards Shangguan Qian was complex.

She couldn't be affectionate towards this 'charm' whom her beloved had asked her to protect.

She would protect him, not just because Han Yaqi was the person she loved.

It was also because she herself was someone who had been abandoned—abandoned by her biological parents, abandoned by Han Yaqi, and abandoned by Wufeng.

She was abandoned by others her whole life, so she abandoned herself in the process.

"Now that she's been exposed, the task of 'becoming the young master's bride' is up to you."

Zheng Nanyi frowned, somewhat embarrassed, and truthfully replied:

"Mr. Gong Er is also of marriageable age. My father, who is of a certain status, is on good terms with him. For this reason, the young master may not necessarily choose me."

"That won't do. Mr. Gong Er is my target."

Shangguan Qian is somewhat admiring of strength. Because of her hatred for the Gushan Sect, she has a strong desire for power, and naturally admires strength.
