Gong Shangjiao led his men out of the palace gates, and Gong Yuanzheng watched as the gates closed before getting up and returning to his palace.
Sitting in the carriage, Gong Ziyu felt an extremely awkward atmosphere. Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian were also in the carriage, along with his older brother, Gong Huanyu. Normally, he wouldn't have felt anything, but after everything that had happened...
Sitting in the same space always made him feel uneasy.
"Cousin, have something to eat." Gong Huanyu handed the handkerchief containing pastries to Shangguan Qian, his eyes full of concern for her.
Having not felt the love of her family for a long time, Shangguan Qian felt a little uneasy. She carefully took the handkerchief and thanked them softly, "Thank you, cousin."
She had already planned that once she had eliminated Wufeng this time, she would beg Gong Shangjiao to let them leave. Besides, Gong Shangjiao probably wouldn't want to see her again, the former assassin of Wufeng.
Shangguan Qian did have some affection for Mr. Gong Er in her heart; otherwise, why would she have staged that heroic rescue back then? However, before she could even begin to fight at the palace gate, her identity was discovered, and afterwards she was locked in a room and never saw anyone.
They weren't allowed to leave the room until the Lantern Festival when they helped the girl capture her crow. Not long after, they were instructed to follow a map. In truth, upon learning that the Half-Moon Fly wasn't poison but a tonic, they all wanted to turn and run. Unfortunately, the poison given by the palace gates wasn't a tonic.
Fortunately, she didn't run away, otherwise she wouldn't have known that the palace also had a relative who was always thinking about avenging Gushan.
Gong Ziyu felt a lump in her throat as she watched the heartwarming scene between her cousins.
He's like an outsider now, but he always was. The person he thought was his brother turned out not to be, and then someone related to him by blood appeared.
Shangguan Qian and Gong Huanyu were completely oblivious to the changes in Gong Ziyu's inner thoughts. Yun Weishan closed her eyes, huddled in a corner, and remained silent. She had learned from Han Yasi about a long-buried problem within her.
So Yun Que really wasn't harmed by the palace gates. Wu Feng really is treacherous and cunning. She should have realized that an organization that controls people with poison couldn't possibly tell the truth. Shangguan Qian's target is Dian Zhu. She didn't have a target before, but now she does.
It took Gong Shangjiao and his team about half a month to finally arrive at the Wufeng headquarters. The winding route ahead made riding a horse quite difficult, which explained why they couldn't find any information about the Wufeng headquarters.
No wonder it was born in the Year of the Rat, it's so good at digging holes!
Wu Feng was located in a basin, specifically in a sunken area, surrounded by trees and thorns, with some areas containing swamps where one could easily sink in.
Compared to Wu Feng's hiding place, the palace gate is nothing. Nobody knows how to hide as well as Wu Feng!
In the blink of an eye, Gong Ruanruan's belly swelled up like an inflated balloon, becoming incredibly large. Not only was Gong Yuanzheng terrified, but even Gong Zishang and Hua Gongzi, who had been visiting the palace daily, were filled with trepidation.
Looking at her prominent belly, Gong Zishang felt she might develop a fear of pregnancy. What kind of pregnant woman looks like this? If every pregnancy looked like this, probably no one in the world would want to get married.
The group was having a meal together that day...
"Ruanruan, have some of this soup." Gong Zishang carefully placed the bowl of black chicken soup in front of her. Ju Yuanzheng's younger brother had said that his delivery date was in the next few days, and the two of them were on high alert at all times, afraid that something might go wrong.
The midwives were always full of energy, like roosters standing tall and ready for battle.
Gong Ruanruan stuffed the half-eaten pig's trotter in her hand into Gong Yuanzheng's hand, saying, "Thank you, Sister Zishang!" She then picked up her bowl and slowly drank from it.
Gong Yuanzheng, burping, put the food that had been stuffed into his hand onto his plate. He really couldn't eat any more.
The book clearly says that pregnant women have a smaller appetite and become very irritable, but... it doesn't seem like that at all now! He doesn't know if Ruan Ruan has gained weight during pregnancy, but he definitely has, and by more than a few pounds!
While drinking soup, Gong Ruanruan felt something like fluid flowing from under her body. This was quite bewildering for someone who knew nothing about this and had no experience. Her buttocks were leaking fluid on their own?
Gong Yuanzheng immediately noticed her dazed expression and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Is this soup still not to your liking?" Gong Zishang also came over. Only Young Master Hua stood there motionless, with his husband on one side and his sister on the other. He was, after all, almost a brother-in-law, right? It seemed impossible to comfort him now; Gong Yuanzheng would beat him to a pulp. No way.
Young Master Hua shook his head and boldly put an end to his idea of getting closer.
