When they returned to the Horned Palace, Gong Ruanruan noticed Gong Shangjiao's slightly red eyes and couldn't help but wonder: "Has he been crying? I never thought such a strong and resolute man like Gong Shangjiao would shed tears. But it makes sense; matters concerning his mother and younger brother are never trivial."
Judging from this, they must have discovered something unusual about the medical case. It seems like Mist Princess really just wants to get herself killed off as soon as possible.
[The plot has changed; now Gong Shangjiao is the young master, and Gong Ziyu went to the back mountain to prepare for the trial—nothing major, so why resort to this tactic?]
[The two brothers made a foolish mistake. Given the scale of the palace's marriage selection process, how could a pregnancy go undetected? Besides, Gong Hongyu only discovered his goddess was among them at the very end.]
Hearing Ruan Ruan say this, Gong Yuanzheng felt that his IQ had been crushed. Why didn't he think of this? He knew the rules of the Gong family's marriage selection the most. He was in charge of the clinic, and he also selected the doctors who went out to help.
At this moment, Gong Yuanzheng stared at his older brother, speechless for a moment. They had never thought of this aspect, no wonder Ruan Ruan said their final fate was so tragic.
"What's wrong?" The person who noticed Gong Yuanzheng's gaze looked up and asked with a puzzled expression.
Gong Yuanzheng gently shook his head, his eyes revealing a complex emotion that was difficult to describe.
Gong Ruanruan didn't notice anything amiss between them, continuing to ponder her own thoughts. Since she had nothing else to do, she figured thinking about the plot and venting her frustrations would be a good idea. "Sigh~, how to put it... I really don't know who to blame for Lady Lan's situation. The Yang family sent their daughter to the palace for power, and Gong Hongyu chose her because he was attracted to her beauty. In this era, women are ultimately not in control of their own lives..."
Thinking about it, even if Lady Lan didn't marry into the palace, she definitely wouldn't marry that legendary scholar. The Yang family parents were willing to send someone in for power, how could they let their daughter marry a useless scholar? Of course, she would have to make the most of her abilities. Gong Ruanruan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that most women in this era were not in control of their own lives. She thought the era she was born in was much better, when everyone was equal.
[What I'm saying is, is it possible that Madam Lan doesn't actually like scholars, but rather yearns for freedom? Anyway, that's my feeling. Madam Lan is such a beautiful person, she doesn't seem like someone who's love-struck. Compared to Gong Hongyu, he seems more like it, and it's undeniable that everyone in the Gong family is love-struck.]
As Gong Ruanruan pondered this in her heart, she felt increasingly confident in her analysis.
Thinking back to the original story, how many great lovers emerged from the palace! Young Master Yue was fond of the Unsung Assassin, so much so that when he helped someone fake their death, he didn't even search them. If he hadn't brought that bit of herbal extract, he might have been killed instantly.
However, the chances are very small. After all, evil deeds last for a thousand years. How could someone as shrewd as Dianzhu die so easily? Look at the two who were both poisoned by the Immortal Dust. Dianzhu was able to hold on until the antidote returned, while Gong Hongyu was immediately killed.
Gong Ziyu also admired the assassin Wufeng. Even knowing that Yun Weishan was Wufeng's man, he was still willing to harm people in the palace for her sake.
And then there's Gong Zishang, who spends all his time chasing after Jin Fan. Although their endings are the most fulfilling among all the characters, I still feel that Young Master Hua is more deserving of her.
Gong Shangjiao also liked the Unsharp Assassin. He hurt his younger brother, who had been by his side, for her sake, and in the end, he let her go.
In summary, apart from the underage Gong Yuanzheng, everyone else in the palace is obsessed with romance. Is the Wind Palace specifically designed to provide them with brides? The assassins they train are all to their liking.
Suddenly thinking of Wu Feng, Gong Ruanruan's mind flashed back to what kind of human control that old woman Dianzhu used, and she couldn't help but sigh again at Wu Feng and his gang of idiots. "So many years have passed, and Wu Feng and his gang are simply a bunch of incredibly stupid fools! Doesn't anyone even have the slightest suspicion about this Half-Moon Fly?!"
Not only did the Wind Palace escape, but they also took the Heart-Eating Moon concoction created by the Moon Palace. Most importantly, they naively believed it was a truly deadly poison. Turns out, it was just a tonic, albeit a rather potent one; as long as you endured it, your inner strength would greatly increase.
If someone were to test it, we could find out. But the crucial point is that in all these years, no one has actually tried it. [Tell me, Wufeng has competitions every day. Why not just grab anyone who's going to die anyway and use them to test it out? It's not like we have to test the medicine on ourselves!]
She mentally ranted, finding the plot utterly chaotic and illogical! It was riddled with plot holes, and the more she thought about it, the more problems she discovered!
Gong Yuanzheng's heart skipped a beat. 'The Half-Moon Fly is actually a tonic! Or is it the Heart-Eating Moon from the Moon Palace?'
Gong Yuanzheng was not familiar with the name "Heart-Eating Moon" at all, but Gong Shangjiao would definitely remember it if he heard it. The second trial of the Three Realms required taking the Heart-Eating Moon's antidote.
