Chapter 158 Things Have Changed



In the other courtyard, Chen Xianzhi was reading at night with a lamp. He looked very serious as he buried himself in the sea of ​​books and kept flipping through them. On one side of the sea of ​​books, there was a piece of white paper with a few lines of medicine names written on it.

Under the reflection of the light, the face of the person who rushed in at a very fast speed gradually became clear. Without raising his head, Chen Xianzhi sniffed the air and sighed silently, "Junior sister, you are here?"

Chen Xianzhi's voice was filled with fatigue. He rubbed his temples and then raised his head from the book. Gong Yunfei walked slowly closer and naturally picked up the note beside Chen Xianzhi. She took a look and her brows furrowed tighter. Her charming red lips became even redder because she pursed them tightly. "Brother, what are you doing..."

"Although the second princess' poison has been temporarily suppressed, we cannot delay any longer. Are you sure these were the medicines you used at the time?" Chen Xianzhi handed the recorded paper to Gong Yunfei and asked.

"This..." Gong Yunfei frowned, staring at the analysis of the medicinal materials handed over by Chen Xianzhi, her palms clenched tightly. She didn't expect that in such a short time, the senior brother had already analyzed the poison she prepared almost exactly. If he really got the material for the antidote, then wouldn't Zong Zheng Xiaoting really be reborn from the dead? No! She couldn't let herself down. Now, she felt that Zong Zheng Xiaoting would feel uncomfortable every day she lived, and waiting for her poison to take effect was a torment. How could she...

"Junior sister...Junior sister..." Chen Xianzhi called out several times, but Gong Yunfei turned a deaf ear to him, with her facial expression changing constantly.

Finally, after Chen Xianzhi called her several times, Gong Yunfei came back to her senses. She looked at Chen Xianzhi with a sad expression. "Big Brother, why are you so concerned about Zong Zheng Xiaoting? You promised me before that you would ask the princess to leave, but now that she can't leave, why don't you..."

Chen Xianzhi did not give her a chance to continue. He frowned and looked at Gong Yunfei with a gentle face, with a firmness that could not be refused, "Enough!"

Chen Xianzhi's scolding startled Gong Yunfei. She had never thought that her senior brother, who had always treated her gently, would one day treat her like this. Soon, grievances flooded her heart. Gong Yunfei's eyes turned red. She looked at Chen Xianzhi silently, biting her lips and saying nothing.

Seeing the expression of his beloved little junior sister, Chen Xianzhi realized that his tone was a little harsh. He was a little flustered, holding his head and explaining, "Junior sister, I didn't mean it. You know, when I was researching these antidotes, my temper was always bad. You... don't take it to heart. I just... just think that the second princess is innocent. Such a kind person shouldn't be like this."

Chen Xianzhi's words and clumsy explanation did not make Gong Yunfei feel relieved. Instead, the anger in her heart became more and more intense as Chen Xianzhi explained. Why! Why did all the people she cared about change when they met Zong Zheng Xiaoting! No, Gong Yunfei would not allow such a thing to happen.

only……

Gong Yunfei didn't show her anger. She just sobbed softly with tears welling up in her watery eyes. "Brother, you think Yunfei has become cold and heartless. She is no longer the Yunfei you love and is not worthy of your love, right? I know that being yourself in front of the people you care about is a luxury. I know."

As Gong Yunfei cried, Chen Xianzhi became more and more upset. He quickly wiped away Gong Yunfei's tears and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Don't let your imagination run wild. You just don't know that the princess is willing to help us. If not, do you think she would compromise if you threatened her life? What's more, she still..."

Prophet Chen suddenly stopped talking, with a look of doubt on his face.

Gong Yunfei, who was familiar with Chen Zhizhi's temperament, naturally did not miss his hesitation to speak. She burst into tears and asked, "Brother, are you still so worried about Yunfei now?"

"It's not like that." Seeing Gong Yunfei's hurt expression, Chen Xianzhi recalled the first time they met her. She looked so pitiful and sad, abandoned by the whole world. He remembered his oath. He said that he would make her feel happy and no longer sad. If she hadn't returned to the palace, perhaps she would still be the smiling little sister now. After all, he didn't fulfill his oath! Chen Xianzhi sighed, "The princess already has a lover, so she is not a threat to you at all. Yunfei, she is innocent. If Situ Xunxiao hadn't captured her, she would have lived with the person she loves. You know what it feels like to love someone. It's for the sake of being together. You don't care about life or death! So, our threat has nothing to do with itching to her."

Chen Xianzhi was originally worried that telling Zong Zheng Xiaoting's secret would have a bad impact on her, but in love, he finally compromised and told himself that Gong Yunfei would not let him down. However, he didn't know that his words would make Gong Yunfei even more aggressive.

Gong Yun stared at Chen Xianzhi closely, then lowered his head, "But, I don't remember what I added to this medicine. I was in a hurry to prepare it, and accidentally knocked over some of the medicine, and the powder got mixed in. So, even if I want to find it now, I can't give you an answer."

Gong Yunfei did not continue to worry about these issues. Instead, she took the initiative to talk about pharmacology with Chen Xianzhi, which made Chen Xianzhi feel relieved. He knew that his little junior sister was still the kind-hearted Gong Yunfei.

Gong Yunfei also showed her guilt at this moment. After talking for a long time, she timidly asked: "Brother, since the Second Princess was dragged down by me, I guess she is also waiting for an opportunity to act, right? What does she like? At least, I can make up for my mistakes."

Listening to the gentle voice whispering beside him, Chen Xianzhi's face became softer. Looking at Gong Yunfei with satisfaction, Chen Xianzhi smiled and said, "In fact, the second princess is really greedy for money and is obsessed with jade. If you really feel bad, you can do it yourself. Believe me, I will find a way to detoxify as soon as possible, and then you will feel better."

"Okay!" Gong Yunfei nodded obediently, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Gong Yunfei did not let Chen Xianzhi send her off. Instead, she used her lightness skills and disappeared into the night. However, in the night when no one could see her, the sinister smile on her lips was as thick as an impenetrable fog, eerie and terrifying.
