Chapter 263: The Venomous Tongue of Gong Yuanzheng
What to say?
Gong Yuanzheng was too well-behaved and obedient, and he was somewhat trying to curry favor with her. Gong Shangjiao always felt that the two of them were not real brothers from the same mother, and no matter how good their relationship was, there was always a layer of distance between them.
When Gong Yuanzheng was no longer afraid of him and no longer kept a distance with him, he could say whatever he wanted. Gong Shangjiao would be so angry at his words that he wanted to beat him up.
Well, it's difficult.
Feeling that the young master's choice of marriage had nothing to do with them, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao stayed peacefully in Jiao Palace for a whole day.
When the kitchen at Jiao Palace heard that Gong Yuanzheng had arrived, they sent over one meat dish and three vegetable dishes for lunch as per usual.
Gong Shangjiao traveled day and night for a whole day and night, and his cheeks were sore from chewing dry biscuits. When he saw the hot dishes and rice, he couldn't wait to take a bite, but he felt that the sesame oil smell of the vegetarian dishes was too strong, and the fishy smell of the meat dishes was overpowering. His face suddenly became so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He rinsed his mouth with clean water several times to barely suppress the nausea.
Gong Yuanzheng couldn't swallow it either. He looked up at the beams with lifeless eyes: "This is even worse than what Zhenggong's kitchen cooks. No wonder you would rather eat one meal a day."
But the chef’s level is there. Gong Shangjiao has been patient for ten years. If he asks them to redo the dish, it will probably still be of the same level.
Gong Shangjiao ate his rice with a straight face: "It seems that we have become picky eaters due to the delicious food we ate in the past."
Gong Yuanzheng nodded: "It must be Zhao Zhao's credit."
In those memories that could not be retrieved temporarily, the two of them must not have had an in-depth understanding of meal preparation, and could not trigger any prompts. They could only force themselves to eat as much as possible rather than starve.
So Gong Shangjiao was also misled, thinking that in their world it must have been several years since the palace marriage selection, otherwise how could they not tolerate a bad meal.
"Go to the palace in the afternoon and have dinner at my place." Gong Yuanzheng suggested, "Yesterday I went back to threaten and reward people, so the food they served was at least edible. The master of a palace is busy all day but can't even fill his stomach. What a joke in hell."
Gong Shangjiao agreed very much, and the two of them quickly moved to Zheng Palace after dinner.
Gong Yuanzheng ordered some cakes and sweet soup for the kitchen to make. Gong Shangjiao made a request: "No greasy food, no food that will fall apart, no food that is too sweet, and no food that is too bland."
The kitchen made it carefully according to the requirements and sent it to me. The appearance was perfunctory, but the taste was good.
Gong Yuanzheng was unhappy and asked the guards to warn the kitchen: "You are too lazy to make cakes in any new way. You are spoiled. You are not happy with the reward money, right? If you want to save trouble again, I will make you solve it once and for all."
Afterwards, the kitchen made some extra jujube and yam cake and sent it over as apology, and it turned out to be in the shape of a five-petal plum blossom and a mahjong tile that could be eaten one at a time.
"Look, brother, if you're not picky, they won't dare to hurt your tongue and stomach." Gong Yuanzheng proudly imparted his experience.
Gong Shangjiao curled his lips imperceptibly: "What's there to be proud of? Zhao Zhao must have taught you that. You're just repeating what others have said."
Gong Yuanzheng was not angry but laughed, his teeth showing and his eyes not visible: "We call it the wife singing and the husband following."
"Don't be ashamed."
The two brothers managed to fill their stomachs and chatted over hot tea.
"The days without Zhao Zhao are too hard to bear. I don't know when this crappy plot will end." Gong Yuanzheng gritted his teeth and said, "One or two days is fine. If it lasts more, I'll go crazy."
"Yuanzheng, don't do anything rash." Gong Shangjiao knew his brother's temper very well and advised: "What if they are poisoned to death and can still get up and continue? Do you want to talk to a dead person with corpse spots on his face?"
Thinking about how Gong Ziyu was still following the plot even though she was in tears, Gong Yuanzheng suspected that such a thing was not impossible, so he had to give up the idea of poisoning everyone except him and Gong Shangjiao.
The brotherhood talks ended with Zhiren's temporary summons. Gong Shangjiao's face changed in an instant, and he walked away as if he didn't see Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yuanzheng watched his back as he walked away, feeling inexplicably relieved.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhao exists in the world they live in, so he and his brother don't have to become puppets, living their lives according to an absurd route planned by some unknown ghost.
It wasn't like Gong Yuanzheng hadn't thought about following Gong Shangjiao, but as soon as he had the thought, his body became immobile. Sure enough, it was another plot twist.
I don't know what will happen to my brother without Zhao Zhao this time. I hope my brother won't be asked to go on a mission in the middle of the night, although that old man Gong Hongyu always likes to exploit my brother.
Contrary to his wishes, Gong Yuanzheng was controlled and taken from the clinic and pharmacy to Jiao Palace at night. He learned from Jin Fu that Gong Shangjiao was on a temporary business trip and his whereabouts were unknown, and he had been gone for quite some time.
Gong Yuanzheng's first reaction was that his brother had indeed been sent away, Gong Huanyu was eager to kill his father and fake his death, and that idiot Gong Ziyu was going to be used as a tool to wield the Infinite Flowing Fire and take the position of wielder.
The most annoying thing is that Gong Huanyu used Manager Jia to exchange Baicaocui in order to frame him and implicate his brother, and to split the palace gates to invite Wufeng's invasion.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Gong Yuanzheng was delighted.
When he was interrogating Zheng Nanyi last night, he found out that someone had interrogated Zheng Nanyi before him and guessed it was Gong Huanyu. Gong Huanyu's plan appeared in his mind in its entirety, and he also told Gong Shangjiao about it during the day. Neither brother had the intention to break free from control and stop it.
It's not their world, and the influence of body sharers on them is almost weak. It's better to watch the show quietly. Anyway, the death is for Yumiya's people, so they are not in a hurry.
After going through the plot with Jin Fu through a series of questions and answers, Gong Yuanzheng was freed but could not return to Zheng Palace, so he had to go to his residence in Jiao Palace to write some ideas about making medicine in a booklet.
The anthelmintic is non-toxic but can cause great pain to people with poisonous insects in their bodies, giving him inspiration like a spring.
Nearing midnight, Gong Yuanzheng was controlled and walked out of the room. He saw that the lanterns on the high tower had turned a warning red, countless white sky lanterns rose into the sky, and servants passing by were holding white cloths.
"Brother, please come back soon. Things are going to change in the palace." Gong Yuanzheng muttered to himself with a worried look on his face, but he was actually laughing in his heart: [Gong Huanyu is quite quick. He sent his adoptive father to death right after choosing a bride. He is a ruthless person.]
No one came to ask him to rescue people, so Gong Yuanzheng was happy to have some free time. But after a while, he was controlled and taken to Yu Palace.
He couldn't help cursing in his heart: "I'm so annoyed, it never ends. I have to run three or four times a day, regardless of day or night. The palaces are so far apart, and it takes at least half an hour to run a trip. Are you trying to make me have strong feet?"
Yugong set up a mourning hall, and everything was white. Gong Yuanzheng ran involuntarily and saw Gong Hongyu and Gong Huanyu lying in the coffins. He wanted to laugh but could only laugh in his heart.
Gong Ziyu came up and grabbed his collar. He pushed and shoved Gong Ziyu, was questioned about Baicaocui, and witnessed the partiality of the three elders. He learned that Gong Ziyu had been the blade bearer. He spoke up for Gong Shangjiao but was rejected. Only then was he finally allowed to leave.
As soon as he left Yu Palace, the heaviness and grievance on Gong Yuanzheng's face disappeared.
He stood at the gate of Yu Palace and laughed loudly: "It's so refreshing! Gong Hongyu is such a selfish and cold-hearted old man. He saved his life by relying on his own brother to block the sword during the ten-year catastrophe. He pretended to be grateful and adopted his own brother's son as his adopted son, but turned around and married the Wufeng assassin as his wife. He also asked my brother and I to salute the damn Wufeng assassin. He deserved to die at the hands of Gong Huanyu and that Wufeng assassin!"
He laughed so hard that tears came out, it was so unbridled, but everyone turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to it, it was absurd and weird.
Relying on his invisible state at the moment, Gong Yuanzheng wanted to go back to watch the show, but he stopped at the bottom of the stairs and could not move forward.
When he looked up, he saw that it was Gong Ziyu sitting on the steps. Madam Wu Ji came with a cloak and put it on him. Gong Ziyu immediately burst into tears and was in great grief.
Gong Yuanzheng sneered: "You are blind. You can't even notice that the murderer of your father is right in front of you. You are as ignorant as a stupid cow and can only be led by the nose."
