Chapter 146 Cloud Feather CP Gong Shangjiao 23
“We’ve reached the vicinity of the Shang Palace,” Zheng Nanyi said knowingly.
"Let's go take a look."
Despite his dissatisfaction, Gong Shangjiao was still somewhat worried about Gong Zishang after hearing the commotion, so he pulled Zheng Nanyi into the Shang Palace.
When they arrived at Gong Zishang's research lab, they saw two frizzy-haired, dark-faced guys.
The only way to tell them apart was by their clothes: one was Gong Zishang, and the other was Hua Gongzi from the Flower Palace in the back mountain disguised as a guard. At that moment, the two were arguing and blaming each other.
Young Master Hua exhaled a puff of smoke, his bright black eyes glaring at Gong Zishang. "I told you to be careful with the weight! Why are your hands trembling?"
Gong Zishang retorted with her hands on her hips, "You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't suddenly spoken up behind me, would I have been so startled that my hands were shaking?"
"Who suddenly made a sound!"
The two, engrossed in arguing and shifting blame, failed to notice Gong Shangjiao and Zheng Nanyi entering.
Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Zishang and said, "Judging from your strong and energetic appearance, you must not be injured."
"It's all thanks to Xiao Hei's quick eyes and hands." Gong Zishang chuckled and patted the young master Hua beside him.
After realizing what was happening, he looked at the two people behind him and asked in surprise, "When did Young Master and Miss Zheng arrive?"
Looking at their disheveled appearance, Zheng Nanyi tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips and explained, "While you were blaming each other."
"Ahem." Gong Zishang coughed lightly, embarrassed. "It was just a small accident."
“This… Xiao Hei?” Gong Shangjiao looked at the familiar-looking guard. “Which palace are you a guard from?”
"From the Shang Palace." Young Master Hua smiled guiltily, making an excuse to leave. "I have other things to do, so I'll be going now!"
"Young Master Hua." Gong Shangjiao found a figure matching the description in his memory and called out to the person who had already slipped out the door, "Is Elder Hua aware of what happened at the back mountain?"
"I'm not some playboy, you've mistaken me for someone else!"
Before Gong Shangjiao could reply, Hua Gongzi flew away.
Zheng Nanyi asked, "Do you know that guard?"
"I don't know him. Just like he said, he mistook me for someone else."
Gong Shangjiao withdrew his gaze, truly unable to imagine that the rigid and serious Elder Hua could actually raise someone with such a free-spirited and childlike nature.
He had no intention of complaining. It was indeed unfair to them that they hadn't left the back mountain for over twenty years, so he just assumed they had mistaken him for someone else.
"Oh my, you scared me! I knew that guy Xiao Hei couldn't possibly be the playboy from the back mountain." Gong Zishang breathed a sigh of relief, truly believing Gong Shangjiao's words.
"Are you sure you're not injured?" Gong Shangjiao looked Gong Zishang up and down.
"Yes, that explosion was really loud. I hope Palace Master Shang wasn't hurt. If he was, it would be best to apply medicine as soon as possible."
Zheng Nanyi wasn't as discreet as Gong Shangjiao; she directly reached out and pulled the person to look left and right.
Gong Zishang was stunned when she heard the title "Palace Master Shang".
This was the first time someone had called her that. After all, she was a palace mistress in name only, and since she was unmarried, everyone in the palace called her Miss.
Gong Zishang pressed down on Zheng Nanyi's hand, which was holding hers, and explained with a smile, "It's okay, Xiao Hei reacted quickly and pulled me away from the center of the explosion."
"Oh, then should Princess Shang go wash up and tidy herself up?" Zheng Nanyi looked at Gong Zishang's dark face and messy hair, and tried to suppress a laugh.
"Huh?" Gong Zishang pulled out her small mirror and screamed in shock after seeing her current appearance, "Ahhh! My beautiful face!"
