Chapter Thirty-Seven: Cloud Feather CP Palace Expedition 7
Although most of the brides present did not know martial arts, there were also traps inside.
But staying inside the palace gates was a certain death sentence; taking the secret passage offered a better chance of survival.
So even though they were afraid of the traps inside, the brides didn't say anything about not leaving.
"Gong Ziyu".
A voice drew their attention, and looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a slender boy standing on the roof, looking down at them.
The boy had a handsome and delicate face, with several small braids in his long, black hair, each tied with a few bells, which added to his gloomy appearance.
His dark cloak embroidered with silver patterns fluttered in the wind, and Gong Yuanzheng adjusted his black gloves embroidered with gold patterns.
Although she looked young, her imposing presence made all the brides breathe more softly.
"Didn't you send someone to me for drug testing? How did you end up here?"
“I am acting on the young master’s orders and do not need to explain myself to you.”
For some reason, Gong Ziyu's tone became inexplicably firmer when speaking to the visitors.
The young man, who was also the Palace Master of the Conquest Palace, Gong Yuanzheng, sneered and replied, "Whether it is acting under orders or a false instruction, you know in your heart."
Gong Ziyu looked at the brides and urged, "Hurry up."
Before they could even move, a hidden weapon struck the mechanism, and the secret passage door closed in front of them.
Gong Yuanzheng used his lightness skill to fly down from the roof, and Gong Ziyu flew to meet him.
Gong Yuanzheng sidestepped, easily dodging Gong Ziyu's fist and Jin Fan's knife, and then threw out a hidden weapon.
As soon as the hidden weapon landed, yellow smoke instantly filled the air.
In an instant, the brides all coughed, either covering their mouths and noses or clutching their chests.
Gong Ziyu, Jin Fan, and Gong Yuanzheng were locked in combat on the side, which ended with Gong Yuanzheng being defeated.
Gong Ziyu said indignantly, "Gong Yuanzheng, they are all brides to be chosen. You are being too reckless in doing this."
"As expected of the most chivalrous young master Yu." Gong Yuanzheng said with a smile, his tone sarcastic.
“But there are spies among them, so they should all be executed. They’ve already been poisoned, so they should just wait to die.”
Yun Weishan looked at the red mark on her palm, secretly pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and walked towards Gong Ziyu, who was closest to them.
Song Xinning deliberately chose a position between Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan.
With her covering her, Shangguan Qian didn't notice Yun Weishan's movements at first.
By the time it was discovered, it was too late to stop it.
Since she couldn't stop it, Shangguan Qian didn't expose Zheng Nanyi.
After all, there might be times when we need to use them again, and we've already exposed an assassin.
If we expose ourselves again, the palace gates might suspect there are still assassins.
With the assassin Wufeng captured, the remaining brides were naturally sent to the women's quarters.
The second day—
The maid knocked on the door and asked, "Knock, knock, knock, is Miss Song home?"
"Coming." Song Xinning yawned and got out of bed.
After all, she was frightened last night, so she couldn't act like nothing had happened.
I stayed up all night reading novels last night, all of which were already stored in the system space.
She ate breakfast before going to bed. She was already dressed and tidied herself up a bit before opening the door.
"What's wrong?"
The maid looked at Song Xinning, who was without makeup, with faint dark circles under her eyes but whose beauty was undeniable. A look of amazement flashed in her eyes, and she softened her voice as she said:
"Young Master Zheng invites Miss Song to the clinic to have her pulse taken."
Beautiful people receive preferential treatment everywhere.
"good."
Song Xinning nodded and followed the maid out of the women's quarters.
When they arrived at the clinic, Gong Yuanzheng was already sitting inside waiting for them.
