As night fell, the women's quarters were bustling with activity. Several guards carefully carried out a bride who was wrapped tightly in a quilt. The other brides-to-be gathered around, watching the scene with curiosity.
Several brides were startled when they saw the red marks on the man's face and how he was carried off the stage.
The bride's name is Jiang Lili. She was chosen by Gong Huanyu today and will become the young master's wife in the future. However, the current situation is quite strange.
The nannies counted the number of brides and found one was missing. However, Shangguan Qian later said that the missing bride was in her room and had a rash on her face. After some things happened, they confirmed that the person was alright and left.
The lanterns on the palace tower were lit red, and people from all over the palace came out carrying white silk ribbons. Gong Yuanzheng was leading Gong Ruanruan on their way to the Blade-Holding Hall. He had specifically asked his brother to come to the Blade-Holding Hall later, because he wanted to see if his brother had left the palace gates.
He already knew from Ruan Ruan whether they would still choose that idiot Gong Ziyu. He didn't expect Gong Huanyu to fake his death by taking cicada grass. They might choose Gong Ziyu because of the palace rules, but if his brother still chose that good-for-nothing Gong Ziyu without leaving the palace this time, he would have to say something.
When Gong Yuanzheng arrived at the Blade-Holding Hall, he saw Jin Fan and Gong Zishang already outside. Seeing this, he knew perfectly well that Gong Ziyu was inside; the position of Blade-Holder was rightfully his brother's.
They still chose this useless piece of trash as their wielder. Their brother had sacrificed so much for the palace, and they weren't even willing to pretend. Gong Yuanzheng clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth.
"Gong Yuanzheng, you can't go in!" Gong Zishang and Jin Fan tried to stop him, and the elders also ordered that no one was allowed to enter after Gong Ziyu had just gone in.
Gong Yuanzheng didn't care about any of that. With a flick of his arm, several hidden weapons shot out like lightning, heading straight for the two men. The two men couldn't dodge in time and could only watch helplessly as Gong Yuanzheng burst through the door and into the room.
At this moment, Gong Ziyu had just given Zhi Ren his medicine and was sitting to the side with tears streaming down her face. When Elder Yue saw Gong Yuanzheng suddenly barge in, his face darkened and he shouted without asking any questions, "Yuanzheng, what kind of behavior is this, barging in without being summoned! Get out now!"
Gong Yuanzheng ignored him completely, and instead took out the box containing the life-saving device and shouted, "I have a way to save Zhi Ren, get out of the way!"
Without waiting for what they were doing, he grabbed Gong Ziyu and pulled her aside. He opened the box, plucked off a petal, and fed it to Zhi Ren, one after another, until the petal was almost completely gone before he stopped.
"Cough cough cough!"
As soon as Gong Yuanzheng put his hand down, Zhi Ren's coughing came from the room, one cough after another.
The moment Gong Ziyu saw his father come back to life, tears welled up in his eyes once more. He had been in the Wan Hua Lou when the three elders suddenly summoned him back, only to tell him that his father and brother had been murdered.
At that moment, his heart seemed to stop. Although he was afraid of his father and often argued with him until they were red in the face, he also knew that his father loved him. The thought of his father, who had cared for him so tenderly since childhood, now a lifeless corpse, and his older brother who had looked after him since he was little...
They had just met that morning, how could he be gone by nightfall? He couldn't accept it until he went into the room and saw his father; his heart finally died.
"Father!" When Gong Ziyu saw Gong Hongyu wake up, he pounced on him like a stupid dog, only to be rebuked by Gong Yuanzheng in an instant. Gong Yuanzheng was already in a bad mood, and he still insisted on asking for a scolding. "If you want Zhiren to die, then pounce on him now. Gong Ziyu, you are already a waste and you are so stupid. Zhiren is really lucky to have a son like you."
"Hehe," Gong Ziyu knew that his father was still very weak. His reaction just now was subconscious. After all, he had just experienced the loss of two of his relatives. It was inevitable that he would be excited to see his father come back to life.
