The next evening.
The results of the investigation into the bride's identity had already been ascertained in advance.
Li Huashi and the other two went to the Zhiren Hall to wait for the verdict.
Glancing at Shangguan Qian, who was pale and looked still sick, Li Huashi looked at Gong Yuanzheng's dark expression with the corners of her mouth rising.
The obvious gloating in his eyes made Gong Yuanzheng even angrier.
It was just that the situation was not appropriate, so nothing happened.
Noticing this scene, Gong Shangjiao seemed to have anticipated that Li Huashi and Gong Yuanzheng would make the palace gate even more lively in the future.
After everyone gathered, the guards quickly reported the results of the investigation to everyone.
With Gong Shangjiao's protection, Li Huashi's identity would naturally not be a problem.
As for Yun Weishan's identity, although Gong Shangjiao made some tests in front of everyone, the result of the test also confirmed her identity without a doubt.
The issue of the bride's identity was settled, and then Gong Ziyu asked Jin Fan to bring the pharmacy manager to the main hall.
Looking at Manager Jia, who was kneeling in the main hall and clearly stated that he was instructed by Gong Yuanzheng to replace one of the medicinal ingredients in Baicaocui.
Seeing the furious Gong Yuanzheng again, angrily accusing Gong Ziyu of bribing Manager Jia to slander him, Li Huashi was so excited that she shouted that it was thrilling!
This palace gate is absolutely right! This is so interesting!
It would be nice if I could eat some sunflower seeds at this time! Interesting, interesting, interesting!
Manager Jia cried and shouted that he had no idea that the efficacy of the medicine would become ineffective after the change of the medicine.
Seeing that Gong Yuanzheng and Manager Jia each insisted on their own opinions, Gong Shangjiao suggested that Manager Jia be taken to the dungeon for interrogation.
However, Gong Ziyu believed that Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng were in cahoots with each other and might have intervened in the matter, which was why he sided with Gong Yuanzheng. He therefore requested that Gong Yuanzheng be interrogated as well.
What no one expected was that Gong Shangjiao agreed so readily that he was even willing to tolerate any poison the other party used during the interrogation.
Li Huashi had also heard that Gong Shangjiao loved his younger brother very much.
So she was somewhat surprised that Gong Shangjiao did not hesitate.
Looking at the boy's red eyes, clenched teeth, and tears falling because of grievance.
Li Huashi couldn't help but let out a "tsk". Although Gong Yuanzheng and Zhuo Yichen looked almost identical, she was happy to gloat over Gong Yuanzheng's misfortune.
But after all, Gong Yuanzheng is not Zhuo Yichen, and Gong Yuanzheng is Gong Shangjiao's most beloved younger brother after all.
Even if it's just because of the time that Gong Shangjiao spent with me when he lost his memory.
Also, Gong Ziyu almost wronged Song Si before, and now he and Gong Shangjiao are in a cooperative relationship.
So when faced with Gong Ziyu, who still couldn't figure out who the real enemy was, Li Huashi couldn't help but sneer, attracting everyone's attention.
Gong Shangjiao raised his eyebrows: "Miss Jiang seems to have something to say."
Li Huashi had a sarcastic look in her eyes and a smile on her lips, looking very disdainful.
"Sorry, Mr. Horn, I just suddenly thought of something funny.
In a conspiracy, people do not suspect the beneficiary of the incident to be the murderer, but instead follow the words of the beneficiary and suspect another person without any reason. "
When Gong Ziyu heard this, he immediately became angry: "What do you mean! Explain it clearly!"
Li Huashi raised her eyebrows, not afraid at all: "Master Zhiren, why are you so anxious?
I just think that compared to the Young Master Yuanzheng who killed the old Blade Master and the Young Master and got nothing in return, compared to the Young Master Yu who got the chance to become the Blade Master because of this incident, he seems to be more suspicious, right?"
Gong Ziyu was immediately furious: "You are talking nonsense!"
Jin Fan shouted angrily, "How dare you! Do you want to say that Master Zhi Ren murdered his own father?"
Li Huashi had an innocent expression: "I know a person, I know his face, but I don't know his heart. I am just considering him as the bride of Mr. Jiao.
If my words have offended you, I hope you will forgive me and not take it personally."
As she spoke, Li Huashi slowly revealed a smile that was calm and indifferent, but just enough to make Gong Ziyu angry:
"After all, I just raised a doubt. Those who are innocent will be innocent. I also did not raise the question that Master Yu is a suspicious beneficiary, so for the sake of fairness, he should be interrogated together. Why should Master Zhiren be angry?"
"What's more, as a servant, Manager Jia might be the one who, or someone in his family, is threatened by others and intends to sow discord among the palace gates."
Gong Ziyu felt extremely insulted by Li Huashi's suspicion that he would kill his biological father for the position of sword wielder.
The furious Gong Ziyu stared at Li Huashi, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Li Huashi kept smiling as she looked at him calmly.
Manager Jia, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked when he heard Li Huashi's last words.
If Gong Shangjiao really followed this line of thought and investigated, and found out about his own family members, then what happened would most likely be exposed.
Thinking of this, Manager Jia decided to go all out and threw the hidden weapon in his hand. In an instant, thick pungent smoke exploded in the hall.
Everyone didn't have time to react to Li Huashi's words. Li Huashi was close by and was the first to suffer. She felt dizzy and was about to faint.
Only Gong Shangjiao reacted quickly and pushed Li Huashi, who was about to faint, towards Gong Yuanzheng in an instant.
He even rushed to the three elders in time, and released the internal force in his palms to blow away the poisonous smoke in the hall.
Gong Yuanzheng hugged the unconscious Li Huashi and wanted to throw her to the ground with disgust.
But thinking that the other person had just spoken for him and his brother not long ago, he curled his lips, snorted, and chose to put the person down gently and lean against the pillar.
Because of what Li Huashi said, Gong Ziyu and Gong Yuanzheng are both suspects.
Moreover, as Li Huashi said, this matter might be the result of someone's instigation and calculation. Before the truth of the matter was found out, the matter of detaining and interrogating Gong Yuanzheng alone was left unresolved.
That night, Gong Shangjiao found a token with the word "Mei" written on it from a secret compartment in the steward's room.
And this token with the word "Mei" written on it confirmed that there was indeed a spy lurking in the palace for so many years.
The deaths of Lao Zhiren and Gong Huanyu, as well as Manager Jia's slander of Gong Yuanzheng, were also determined to be Wufeng's conspiracy to sow discord.
. . . . . .
Inside the house, Gong Shangjiao added some herbs and dried flowers to the teapot for making tea.
Gong Yuanzheng glanced at Li Huashi, who was sitting with her head propped up by her hands and had no posture to speak, and said unhappily:
"Why are you here?"
Li Huashi rolled her eyes: "I'm not your bride, why do you care about me?"
Gong Yuanzheng: “You!”
Li Huashi: "And I am the bride of Mr. Jiao. I am not only here now, I will be here every day in the future~"
Gong Yuanzheng was both angry and aggrieved. Seeing that his brother just pursed his lips and chuckled, and had no intention of protecting him, he felt sad and inexplicably wronged.
Seeing this, Gong Shangjiao chuckled and took the lead in making a cup of tea for Gong Yuanzheng.
"I had someone take Miss Li to stay at the Corner Palace last night. Now that Miss Li is cooperating with us, we will be allies in the future."
