Chapter Thirty-Four: Cloud Feather CP Palace Expedition 4
Simply put, Song Xinning was the most beautiful of the brides present, and the frail look in her eyes made people feel protective of her.
With a sharp pain in her chest, Song Xinning's vision blurred and she fainted.
When she woke up again, she was in a gloomy dungeon, where the brides were imprisoned in twos and threes.
Song Xinning rubbed her still sore chest and waist, feeling increasingly aggrieved.
She had never suffered any hardship since childhood, except for taking medicine and being sick. She never expected to be tortured like this as soon as she entered the palace.
That's absolutely outrageous!
"This is really too much!" Song Xinning thought to herself, and that's what she said. She stood up and patted the cell door.
"Hey! Is anyone there? Come here right now! Call Gong Shangjiao over here! I'm not getting treatment for this illness anymore, I'm going home! I can't stay in this palace gate for another second!"
Take me home immediately! You promised to treat my illness, but this is clearly trying to kill me! Your palace has gone too far! I refuse treatment; I want to go home! I want to find my father!
Song Xinning frantically pounded on the prison door, finally attracting the attention of the guards.
"Stop arguing, Young Master Jiao isn't at the palace gate," the guard said coldly.
"Then go and call Gong Yuanzheng! I don't care, just send me back right now. I'd rather die than get treatment at the palace gate!"
They promised me I'd be cured and sent back home when I came, but who goes to jail for medical treatment?!
As Song Xinning spoke, her eyes reddened with grievance, and she began to sob.
The guard couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh anymore; he really couldn't bring himself to be fierce towards such a porcelain doll, so he simply went back and ignored her.
"Hey! You stop right there! You're not allowed to leave!" Song Xinning banged on the door again.
"Okay, stop crying, they will definitely let us go."
Shangguan Qian, who was in the same room, went over and patted Song Xinning's back gently to coax her. It took her a while to calm her down.
"You just mentioned Young Master Jiao. Do you know Young Master Jiao?" Shangguan Qian pulled Song Xinning to sit down and asked tentatively.
"I don't know him, but my second and third brothers do. I've heard that Gongmen Zheng Gongzi is a master of both medicine and poison, a once-in-a-century herbal medicine genius."
My father and his family specifically brought me to the palace for treatment. If I recovered, they would send me back; if I didn't recover... they would still send me back!
Song Xinning gave a soft snort, her eyes filled with disdain.
"I never expected the palace gates to be so rude, treating guests with bows and arrows and dungeons. This palace gates are truly my nemesis!"
"I see." Hearing that it would be sent back, Shangguan Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't come to get married, but to seek medical treatment. Coming to the palace for treatment probably means it's not an easy illness to cure, otherwise she wouldn't need to enter the palace.
The palace would not choose a bride with a physical ailment, especially since Gong Shangjiao had promised to send her back, so he would definitely not choose her as his bride.
Even if she is exceptionally beautiful, there is no need to be wary. In fact, we might be able to take advantage of her relationship with her brother and Gong Shangjiao.
Thinking this way, Shangguan Qian pondered how to subtly bring the two of them closer.
Wearing a thick fur-trimmed cloak over a black robe embroidered with gold patterns, Gong Ziyu, accompanied by her jade attendant Jin Fan, walked to the front of the dungeon.
The guard bowed and asked with a puzzled look, "Young Master Yu, what brings you here?"
Gong Ziyu took out the token and said without changing his expression, "Young Master asked me to take these girls to the Conquest Palace for Gong Yuanzheng to test the medicine."
"Going to test drugs so late?" The guard sensed something was amiss.
Jin Fan retorted in a covert manner, "How dare you! Whether it's early or late, do you think you get to decide?"
