Chapter 228 Gong Yuanzheng 15
Qingyue: "Aren't you the same!"
"Oh dear, we've been found out!" Lin Manman said shyly.
Qingyue looked around with her eyes as if she were admiring the scenery. The area was full of cliffs and precipices, with a small grove of trees, but the gaps in the trees were too large to hide in during the day.
Even if Xi En comes in, she won't choose this place.
Lin Manman asked, "What are you looking for?"
Qingyue: "Now that we're out here, we should take a good look at the scenery. We'll be leaving the palace in a few days and won't be able to see it again, so we should appreciate it now."
"makes sense."
Lin Manman didn't expose her, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a tall, burly man walking towards them.
"It's him again. Who is this woman looking for in the courtyard?"
They weren't far from the women's quarters; they were right on the edge of the courtyard. If he hadn't come to the women's quarters, he would never have passed by here.
Last time he came to see Yun Weishan, but now that Yun Weishan has been arrested, who is he coming to see this time?
It turns out he wasn't so useless after all; he could even predict the murderer in advance.
Qingyue looked over and saw that it was Gong Ziyu.
Gong Ziyu approached and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Manman rolled her eyes at him: "We just came out for some fresh air. We're not prisoners. Don't interrogate us like this."
"I..."
Gong Ziyu almost forgot how to speak; he never spoke in the tone of interrogating a prisoner!
Qingyue explained, "We told the nanny that we would be back in half an hour, and she agreed."
Gong Ziyu saw that the two were together, so she wasn't as suspicious as Gong Yuanzheng.
He was surprised to see two brides here, so he went up to ask them what was wrong, but they were very unfriendly to him.
"I see."
Gong Ziyu nodded quickly. These two brides were incredibly good at talking; she couldn't win against them.
I couldn't see which two people they were from a distance, but when I got closer, I realized it was them. I wanted to turn around and leave, but in order not to lose my composure, I insisted on walking over.
Fear... I hug my vulnerable self tightly.
"You seem to hate me?" Gong Ziyu said to Lin Manman.
Lin Manman's eyes widened: "Is it that obvious?"
Qingyue suppressed the urge to facepalm; Manman was quite lively and unpredictable...
Gong Ziyu: “…”
He was just asking if she needed to be so sincere!
Lin Manman said, "I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, I'm targeting everyone in the palace!"
"Why?" Gong Ziyu tilted her head.
Lin Manman showed no mercy to Gong Ziyu, who was now wielding a blade.
He said impatiently, "Why do you care so much!"
"Does that mean I have to tell you what color undergarment you're wearing under your outer clothes?"
Gong Ziyu pursed her lips, thinking, "What harm is there in asking?"
"I think we should see the scenery ourselves, what do you say, Zhi Ren?" Qing Yue looked at Gong Ziyu with a forced smile.
It means that if there's nothing else, he can leave and not bother them.
"Oh, okay." Gong Ziyu nodded twice. "You guys chat. You can look around and enjoy the scenery. I'll be going now."
After saying that, he took off and left quickly. He didn't bring Jin Fan with him today, so his fighting strength was even more insufficient!
We can't win, we can't win.
These two brides can be directly ruled out as he cannot afford to choose a wife who wields a blade.
Lin Manman watched Gong Ziyu flee in panic.
"Why bother making a cloud-patterned shirt like this?"
“The young master is dead, and Gong Ziyu has succeeded him. She had already been in contact with Gong Ziyu beforehand. Now that she is choosing Gong Ziyu’s wife, if that incident hadn’t happened, Yun Weishan would definitely have the first advantage.”
Qingyue: "Who would have thought that Gong Huanyu would die!"
"That's true. Who could have predicted what would happen next?"
Lin Manman retracted her hindsight opinion.
"After this ordeal, Gong Ziyu will definitely not choose either of us as his bride."
Qingyue smiled and said, "If he likes chaos in the Feather Palace, he might do the opposite."
She never expected to be chosen by anyone in the first place.
"No way, I still want to go out." Lin Manman quickly raised her hand and waved it.
There's not much to see here; the air is just as fresh as it is inside the courtyard.
Not long after returning to the courtyard, Qingyue saw Shangguan Qian carrying a lantern as she left the courtyard.
Is she about to take action?
Is the target Gong Ziyu?
Why choose such a late time?
On the other side, Lin Manman also caught a glimpse of Shangguan Qian leaving through the window.
Hopefully, Shangguan Qian won't cause any strange disturbances that would prevent her from leaving the palace. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson.
These brides are always causing trouble. Can't they live without causing trouble?
Why do they honestly wait to be chosen, yet prefer to be the first to stick out, making them stand out from the crowd?
As long as it doesn't prevent her from leaving the palace, she can do whatever she wants. If she is delayed because of trouble, she has plenty of ways to make Shangguan Qian pay the price.
Lin Manman's eyes were filled with unreadable emotions.
Despite not being able to see from the other side, Qingyue had excellent eyesight and saw the subtle emotions hidden in Lin Manman's eyes.
As expected, Lin Manman is no simpleton!
It's becoming more and more to her liking.
She was certain that Lin Manman was not a spineless person, which was enough for them to become friends.
"Knock down."
Lin Manman opened the door and saw Qing Yue.
"Why are you so late? You're a rare guest!"
Qingyue gestured with her chin towards the door: "Shall we go up and take a look together?"
"Oh?" Lin Manman raised an eyebrow: "Let's go and see what tricks she's up to."
It's always better for the two of them to act together than for Shangguan Qian to act alone; it's impossible to be 100% free of suspicion.
They followed Shangguan Qian to the Zheng Palace Pharmacy.
Qingyue and Lin Manman exchanged a glance. Her target was actually the Palace Master of Zheng Palace?
What are you doing here so late?
A magnetic male voice sounded behind them.
The two were startled and let out a soft scream.
"Ah~"
They huddled together in fear, then stiffly turned their heads away.
A man dressed entirely in black, with a face as black as ink and an extremely cold expression, stood directly behind them, his gaze constantly scrutinizing them.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Gong Shangjiao has just returned and came to Zheng Gong to see his younger brother. Unexpectedly, he discovered two secretive brides-to-be. What are they plotting against Gong Yuanzheng?
Lin Manman stammered, "Who...who are you?"
He looked like he was still in shock and hadn't quite come to his senses.
"Gong Shangjiao." Gong Shangjiao coldly uttered three words.
The Palace Master of Jiao Palace, Gong Shangjiao, so it was him!
Miyazaki asked, "And whose brides are you?"
"I am Song Yueqing, the fourth young lady of the Song family." Qingyue gave him a slight bow.
Lin Manman replied: "I am Lin Manman, the second daughter of the Lin family."
Miyazaki: "Answer my question."
Qingyue pointed in the direction of Zhenggong Pharmacy: "We came with another bride."
Gong Shangjiao: "Why are you following her?"
Lin Manman swallowed hard, her mouth trembling slightly.
“The day before yesterday, a bride had an accident. We saw Miss Shangguan going out alone. We were afraid that another accident would happen. We were also able to catch her in time to stop her from doing something drastic.”
