At this moment, Yuanzheng handed Ruanruan over to his brother and headed to the dungeon to show off his interrogation skills to the old woman Wuji. Thinking of this, the corners of Gong Yuanzheng's mouth involuntarily turned up slightly, revealing an extremely eerie smile.
The guards standing to the side keenly noticed the sudden change in the young master's facial expression, which caused him to lose control. In an instant, they felt a chill run down their spines, and even a fine layer of sweat appeared on their backs.
They could only breathe a sigh of relief after Gong Yuanzheng stepped into the dungeon, secretly marveling at how terrifying this young master was!
Among the young masters and ladies of the palace, the one with the most powerful aura is the young master Jiao, who sometimes makes them feel weak in the knees and want to kneel down. Following closely behind is the young master Zheng, who is most skilled in medical and poison arts. The difference between him and the young master Jiao is that the young master Jiao always has a stern face and no expression, as cold and ruthless as an iceberg, while the young master Zheng is always smiling. But sometimes this smile is not normal!
Yun Weishan, covered in wounds and weak, was being carried on a frame. She watched as Wu Ji, brought in from outside, was bound in the room next to her. She had seen Wu Ji before at the Feather Palace, but she hadn't expected her to be in the dungeon, let alone in this state.
"I never imagined that Lady Mist Princess would be the elusive assassin who had been lurking in the palace for over twenty years. Appearances can be deceiving!" The two guards who had come earlier were still talking amongst themselves as they walked back, clearly still reeling from the shock.
One of the guards roared angrily, "How dare you call her 'Madam'? She's an assassin sent by Wu Feng, she's not worthy to be our palace's madam! She's been hiding here for so long, she must have passed on many things about our palace to Wu Feng. In my opinion, Wu Feng's audacity in attacking the palace back then must have been related to her!"
"Back then, in that fierce battle, countless brothers and sisters perished at their hands! At this moment, I truly wish I could tear her to pieces immediately!" Most of the guards in the palace were servants, and their parents had both died in that brutal battle ten years ago. It could be said that they hated Wu Feng with a passion and an extreme vengeance!
"Yes, Nameless!" Yun Weishan slightly raised her head, calmly scrutinizing the unconscious Wu Ji. She never expected that the nameless assassin hiding in the palace gates would be her wife, Ming Wu Ji, wielding a blade. Before they disguised themselves as brides and infiltrated the palace, the crows she had sent had warned her that a nameless assassin, who had been lying in wait for over twenty years, was lurking within the palace gates.
They just didn't know whether the person was male or female. It was because she released the news of the palace selection in advance that they were able to substitute for the real bride under the guard of the palace gate.
Yun Weishan knew that this nameless man had probably fallen in love with Gongmen Zhiren, but Wuji, as his bedmate, could kill Zhiren at any time without anyone noticing if she wanted to. Strangely, however, she never did.
Just then, Gong Yuanzheng stepped in from outside and went directly to the cell where Wu Ji was. He picked up a bowl of medicinal soup, thinking that he could use this upgraded medicine to test its effects on this old woman. Wearing black gloves, Gong Yuanzheng steadily carried the soup and quickly walked to Wu Ji.
His face was contorted with disgust. He slightly loosened his collar and then swiftly and without hesitation poured the medicine into it, as if he were holding something filthy. The entire action was completed in one fluid motion, in the blink of an eye.
"Ah~!! Ah~! Ah~~~!!!" The medicine worked quickly; Wu Ji felt her skin being corroded and woke up with a start. Her screams filled the entire dungeon. Gong Yuanzheng stood to the side, watching with a satisfied smile.
To Yun Weishan, Gong Yuanzheng's expression looked like a vengeful ghost crawling out of the underworld. At that moment, Yun Weishan suddenly felt that Wufeng might be a little better than Gongmen. This thought only lasted for a second before she dismissed it. How could she think that Wufeng and Gongmen were comparable!
"Old woman, tell me what you and Gong Huanyu are planning." Gong Yuanzheng's tone was calm, without the slightest urgency. He figured even if this old woman didn't tell him, he could find out from Ruan Ruan, and Ruan Ruan clearly knew far more than this old woman.
However, he was now worried that if Ruan Ruan knew about his thoughts and heard what was on her mind, would she leave him or abandon him? After realizing this, Gong Yuanzheng had an in-depth discussion with his brother, which is why Gong Yuanzheng kept holding Ruan Ruan. He thought that once she got used to it, she wouldn't leave. Of course, this was just his personal opinion.
Despite the pain, tears streamed down her face. After all, she had been pampered for so many years, and now she was being tortured in such a cruel way. She couldn't bear it. She bit her lower lip so hard that it bled.
