Chapter Thirty-Two: Cloud Feather CP Palace Expedition 2

"Yes, Miss said that everything tastes bitter, so there's no difference between eating it and not eating it," the maid replied truthfully.

"Okay, you can go now."

Song Changting nodded, glanced in the direction of Xihe Garden, thought of the person he had met today, and turned to walk out of the mansion.

Between Water and Clouds —

In a private room on the second floor, a handsome man dressed in a black robe, with a cold and aloof demeanor and sharp eyes, stood by the window.

The man shook the liquor in his hand, then drank it all in one gulp. The spicy and warm liquor warmed his body.

"Young Master Jiao, Young Master Song has arrived." The guard with a knife entered the private room and greeted them with a bow.

"Please come in."

A gentle young man dressed in white robes entered the private room. The two men were equally handsome, one in black and one in white, one aloof and the other gentle, a sight to behold.

"Palace Master, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Second Young Master Song."

The two bowed to each other and sat facing each other.

"May I ask what business Young Master Song has with me?"

Although Gong Shangjiao was aloof, he was always courteous and considerate, which is why various factions in the martial arts world were willing to do business with him.

Gong Shangjiao was quite familiar with the Song family's third young master, because the third young master managed the Song family's various businesses.

We've met many times while traveling around the country, and we even fought together against Wufeng.

So although he had met Young Master Song a few times, they weren't very familiar with each other, and he was a little puzzled by Song's visit.

"I've heard that Young Master Gongmen Zheng is a master of both medicine and poison, a rare talent in herbal medicine, one in a hundred years."

When it came to his younger sister, Song Changting didn't bother with formalities and went straight to the point.

"I've heard that the fourth young lady of the Song family was born with a deficiency and suffers from asthma. Has the second young master of the Song family sought medical treatment for her?"

Recalling the rumors about the fourth young lady of the Song family, Gong Shangjiao understood.

"Yes." Song Changting nodded.

"My brother Yuanzheng has always researched poisons and antidotes. He hasn't yet touched on wheezing. We'll have to wait for his diagnosis after taking my pulse."

Although Miyazaki trusted his younger brother and thought he was wonderful in every way, he didn't make any promises rashly.

"Then may I ask Young Master Zheng to take my pulse and treat my younger sister?" Song Changting pressed.

“The palace has rules that prevent anyone other than me from leaving the Old Dust Valley. Since the palace is selecting a bride, why not let Miss Song enter the valley as a bride-to-be and let my brother Yuanzheng treat her?”

Gong Shangjiao suggested that since the Song family was one of the few forces unafraid of Wufeng, it would be good to establish a good relationship.

This was also because the palace was choosing a bride at the right time; otherwise, Miss Song would have had to live in the Old Dust Valley.

However, the Old Dust Valley is not as safe as the palace gate, since Wu Feng is always monitoring the palace gate, and there must be Wu Feng in the Old Dust Valley.

If Wu Feng finds out that Miss Song is from the Song family of Qinghe, it would be bad if he kidnapped her and used her to threaten the Song family.

“The bride to be chosen…” Song Changting knew about this. Last time, when his aunt was of marriageable age, the palace also invited her.

However, their aunt did not go; instead, she married a wealthy merchant in Qinghe.

"Don't worry, Second Young Master Song. Fourth Miss Song is just going through the motions and won't be selected. I will personally send her back to the Song family."

Seeing Song Changting's hesitation, Gong Shangjiao assured him.

The selection of brides at the palace gates is based on physical appearance, and Miss Song's physique meant she was destined not to be chosen.

In palace marriage selection, if one is not chosen by the young master or the legitimate son, then...

She will also go on blind dates with the sons of collateral branches and the sons of the Hua, Xue, and Yue families in the back mountains.

If they don't want to, they will be sent home, but of course, most people do want to.

After all, they entered the palace to seek protection for themselves and their families.
