Looking at Li Huashi, she wrapped herself in a thick cloak, with only her head exposed.
Gong Shangjiao paused and said, "Miss Li is also afraid of the cold?"
Li Huashi shifted her gaze from the beautiful night sky to Gong Shangjiao.
"Really? Master Jiao doesn't look like he's afraid of the cold. Could it be that Brother Yuanzheng is afraid of the cold?"
Gong Shangjiao chuckled: "The one who is afraid of the cold is Gong Ziyu."
Li Huashi was a little surprised that Gong Shangjiao would mention Gong Ziyu at this time.
"I thought you hated Gong Ziyu."
Gong Shangjiao chuckled and did not answer.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Li Huashi changed the subject.
"By the way, why hasn't brother Yuanzheng come yet? Didn't you ask someone to invite him?"
Gong Shangjiao paused and said, "Brother Yuanzheng will come naturally if he has nothing to do."
"So what gift did you prepare for your brother Yuanzheng? I'm curious, tell me first."
Gong Shangjiao: "I don't celebrate the Lantern Festival."
"So you didn't prepare a gift for your brother Yuanzheng? No, you said you don't celebrate the Lantern Festival. Then why did you, who hardly ever eat dinner, suddenly ask me to have dinner with you tonight?"
As Li Huashi spoke, she suddenly stepped back and looked at Gong Shangjiao warily.
"You're not falling in love with me, are you trying to please me?"
Gong Shangjiao remained silent and glanced at Li Huashi speechlessly.
"No matter what, you are a guest. On a day like tonight, leaving you alone is not the way to entertain guests in my palace."
Li Huashi looked relieved.
"That's good, that's good. Do I have a gift?"
Gong Shangjiao: . . .
"I'll have someone prepare whatever Miss Li wants."
Li Huashi: "Anything expensive is fine."
Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but curl his lips and chuckle: "Okay, I'll have someone prepare it later."
Li Huashi stretched her neck to look around, wondering why Gong Yuanzheng hadn't arrived yet.
"Is my brother Yuanzheng coming or not?"
Gong Shangjiao noticed this scene: "Miss Li, it seems that you care about your brother Yuanzheng very much."
Li Huashi: "Don't get me wrong, I'm going to treat you to a good show later."
Gong Shangjiao subconsciously felt puzzled: Good show?
The next moment, Gong Shangjiao thought of something and immediately reacted: "Are you saying that Wuming will take action tonight?"
Li Huashi raised her eyebrows and smiled, which meant she agreed.
Gong Shangjiao: "How did you know? Who is she going to attack?"
Li Huashi: "Maybe he did something to you. As for how I know, why don't you wait until Brother Yuanzheng comes and I'll tell you? Now I have to say it again after a while, which is a bit troublesome.
Anyway, even if we want to take action, we won't do it now. At this time, all palaces are on high alert. Even if Wuming wants to take action, he won't have the chance."
Gong Shangjiao frowned and asked someone to invite Gong Yuanzheng.
. . .
Gong Yuanzheng was late because he made a dragon lantern for Gong Shangjiao.
Soon, Gong Yuanzheng appeared in Jiaogong with Shangguan Qian, smiling.
Li Huashi noticed that Gong Yuanzheng was holding a dragon lantern, while Shangguan Qian was holding a rabbit lantern.
Li Huashi looked at the rabbit lantern and suddenly felt heavy in her heart.
Looking at the two people standing together, who seemed to be a perfect match, Li Huashi thought that Gong Yuanzheng might also be trying to accept Shangguan Qian.
Only after the two of them came closer did Li Huashi calmly look away.
Gong Yuanzheng smiled and handed the dragon lantern in his hand to Gong Shangjiao.
"Brother, I made it for you, what do you think?"
Gong Shangjiao took it with a chuckle: "It looks good."
When Gong Shangjiao noticed that Shangguan Qian had a rabbit lantern in her hand but Li Huashi did not, he asked her.
"What kind of lanterns does Miss Jiang like? I'll have the servants prepare one for you later."
Li Huashi shook her head: "I'm not interested in things that children like. Of course, if you really want to give me something, I like things made of diamond jewelry, hehe."
It’s just a broken lamp. What’s so great about it? I’ve received one made by my loved one before.
Not only that, when he was in Fanhua City and Shen Yao Villa, with Hu Qi around, he could get whatever he wanted.
I don’t care about it!
Gong Yuanzheng complained: "Using gemstones to make lanterns, it's amazing that you could come up with this idea."
Gong Shangjiao looked at Shangguan Qian and said, "Could you trouble Miss Shangguan to ask the servants to prepare a lantern for Miss Jiang as well?"
The people present were all smart people, so when they heard what Gong Shangjiao said, they all understood that Gong Shangjiao wanted to get Shangguan Qian away.
Shangguan Qian hesitated for a moment, and she naturally understood the meaning of Gong Shangjiao's words.
But she didn't expect that Li Huashi had gained Gong Shangjiao's trust so quickly and was able to stay and participate in their conversation.
Shangguan Qian agreed good-temperedly. When she turned around and left, she was wondering in her heart, why could Li Huashi gain Gong Shangjiao's trust so quickly?
After seeing Shangguan Qian walk away, Gong Shangjiao turned to look at Li Huashi and said:
"Now that my brother Yuanzheng has arrived, you can say whatever you want to say now."
Li Huashi: “Well, actually I had someone secretly put a note in Wu Ji’s room.
The content written on the note is.
Gong Shangjiao was sending people to investigate her identity twenty years ago before she became Madam Lan's maid.
And I also said that you have cooperated with the people from Shen Yao Villa.
The purpose is to catch the spy lurking in the palace gate, and then join forces with the Shen Yao Villa to completely annihilate Wu Feng.
If Madam Wu Ji is really Wuming, she must be eager to get rid of you now.
Of course, if our suspicions were wrong, she is not nameless.
That doesn’t matter, even if she is not Wuming. I think the real Wuming found out that you suspected Madam Wuji.
He should be eager to find a way to frame the identity of Wuming on Madam Wuji.
The palace gates were heavily guarded before, so Wuming never had a chance to take action, but tonight, during the lively Lantern Festival, maybe he will have a chance."
Gong Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing an eager light: "Action against my brother? Isn't that courting death! Then we will wait for Madam Wu Ji to come!"
When Gong Shangjiao was about to say something, Jin Fu appeared and just at this moment reported that Gong Ziyu had left the palace with Yun Weishan.
Gong Yuanzheng was very excited: "Gong Ziyu, that idiot! Brother! Let's go to Yugong to catch them! Otherwise they will try to deny it later!"
Gong Shangjiao turned to look at Li Huashi and opened his mouth:
"I'll leave Jin Fu here..."
Li Huashi immediately interrupted: "No, I have someone by my side. Moreover, according to my guess, the other party's target is you. There is no reason for the other party to attack me."
Gong Shangjiao thought about it and realized that it was true. Li Huashi’s people were able to sneak into the palace quietly without even being discovered by him.
Li Huashi is safer alone than staying with him.
So after giving the order to send someone to keep a close eye on Yun Weishan, Gong Shangjiao left with Gong Yuanzheng and headed for Yu Palace.
