Chapter 245 Cloud Feather 4
Jiu Ning noticed that everyone in the lobby held their breath and carefully uncovered the red cloth in front of them. Some were happy, while others were dissatisfied.
"Why?"
"Why did I only get a wooden plaque... a silver plaque would be nice too."
She lifted the red cloth in front of her, and a golden token appeared in front of her. The workmanship was quite delicate. Jiuning picked it up and played with it in her hand.
"If three people get the gold medal this time, you will have the chance to marry the young master."
"Miss Yun, I think you are the most beautiful among them. This time, the position of the Young Master's wife must belong to you."
Yun Weishan smiled gently, first looking at Shangguan Qian who was holding the jade medal, then at Jiang Lili who was also holding the gold medal, and...
"The other two golden brides are also good, but... I don't know what to call this one."
Yun Weishan had not noticed Jiu Ning before, but when he saw him, he couldn't help but feel alert.
It was true that as soon as they entered the palace, they were locked up in a cell. Jiu Ning did not participate in the conversation among them. Later, when they were escaping, they were all thinking about their own things, so who could pay attention to others?
After that she was locked up again, and naturally no one noticed her anymore.
"Jiang Jiuning, just call me Jiuning!"
"Okay, then I'll call you Miss Jiuning."
Yun Weishan had a smile on his face and tried to get closer to Jiuning. After a few words, the two of them became friendly.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Blade Hall was extremely tense. Gong Huanyu and Gong Yuanzheng were both standing aside with their heads lowered, one worried and the other gloating.
Zhi Ren raised his eyebrows and looked at his son Gong Ziyu.
Snapped,
He slammed his palm on the table.
"I didn't expect you to learn to lie."
Gong Ziyu opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he was so scared that he swallowed the words back.
Seeing Gong Ziyu being humiliated, Gong Yuanzheng was extremely happy.
"It was clearly you who acted on your own initiative, wanting to rescue those brides, but now you're trying to drag your brother into this, saying it was Gong Huanyu's idea. When did I ever teach you that?"
He sat at the top, holding the blade, his eyelids twitching with anger.
"What do you have in your hand?"
Gong Ziyu was unhappy, and when he looked at Gong Yuanzheng beside him, he became even more angry.
"Reporting to Father, I went to the guest house today and found that there was something wrong with this Angelica and Golden Grass Tea. I suspect someone has tampered with the recipe without authorization."
When Gong Yuanzheng heard that there was something wrong with the tea, he first walked closer to Gong Ziyu, sniffed the scent of the medicinal tea, and then smiled.
"I did change the recipe for Angelica Golden Grass Tea."
The two men stared at each other, neither backing down. Then a sigh came from above, interrupting their secret contest.
"Zi Yu, do you know what the effects of this Angelica Golden Grass Tea are?"
Without waiting for Gong Ziyu to answer, he held the blade and spoke again.
"The miasma in the Old Dust Valley is getting worse today. Have you been paying attention..."
"Yeah?"
Idiot, Gong Yuanzheng cursed in his heart. He only knew how to spend his days drinking and partying, never caring about the situation in the valley, and still thinking about going against him. If it weren't for his brother supporting him from outside, in the future...
Angelica dahurica and golden grass tea is used to resist the poisonous miasma in the valley. Since the poisonous miasma is serious, the formula naturally needs to be adjusted. This was ordered by Zhiren.
Sure enough, the superiors were furious, and Gong Ziyu couldn't avoid being scolded again.
"Just now you said you went to the guest house. The people living there are all women. They are the brides chosen for your brother. Don't you know that you should avoid suspicion?"
Gong Ziyu was not convinced. What was wrong with the guest house? He went there in broad daylight, not secretly.
"Father, you only know how to talk about me, but Gong Yuanzheng was there last night, and all the patrols saw it. Why didn't you talk about him?"
Gong Yuanzheng didn't expect that the other party could still get involved with him and keep biting him.
"Master Blade Wielder... I..."
"Okay, you don't have to tell me, I know everything."
Zhi Ren raised his hand and gave a look that said don't worry, he understood everything, interrupting what Gong Yuanzheng wanted to say.
"Last night, I asked him to send the person back to the guest house, but he just stood outside the courtyard and handed the person to Mother Fu without going in. But you..."
Gong Yuanzheng was anxious. He didn't want to say these things. He waited until Zhiren had cursed enough again before he spoke.
"Master Blade, I have something to report."
"explain--"
Gong Yuanzheng glanced at Gong Huanyu and walked to the middle of the hall.
"Last night when I went to interrogate Zheng Nanyi, I discovered someone had gotten there before me, but they didn't interrogate Miss Jiang, who was also a suspect. I suspect..."
Zhi Ren looked serious and glanced at Gong Ziyu, wondering whether to kick him out.
"What do you suspect?"
"I suspect there's more than one assassin, or perhaps Zheng Nanyi jumped out on his own to attract our attention."
"Huanyu, what do you think about this?"
Gong Huanyu's face turned ugly for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"Brother Yuanzheng is young, so he might be overthinking things, but I will investigate thoroughly."
Gong Ziyu was not happy with Gong Huanyu's gentle answer and immediately stood up to refute it.
"The assassins have all been caught. Do you really want those brides to test the medicine on you? You are so cruel."
"I···"
His idea was refuted and he couldn't provide any evidence, so he was in a difficult situation.
"Report... Reporting to the Blade Master, Master Jiao has entered the valley and will soon be outside the palace gate."
"Brother is back," Gong Yuanzheng immediately put aside his previous unhappiness, "Zhi Ren, can I go to the door to meet brother?"
Holding the blade, Gong Yuanzheng nodded and rushed out without waiting for a moment.
"You should pay more attention to the assassins. What Yuanzheng said is not without reason."
After giving instructions to Gong Huanyu, he shifted his attention to Gong Ziyu.
"As for you, go back and reflect on your mistakes. If you continue to idle away, there is no need for you to stay in the palace. The palace does not support idlers."
"If you don't want to stay, then don't stay. Do you think I really want to?"
After saying this, he threw the medicinal tea in his hand and walked out, completely ignoring the cursing behind him.
In the guest house, everyone took the badges issued by the palace gate and returned to their rooms. Soon, maids came to each room with new wedding dresses.
Jiu Ning looked at the wedding dress, which was even more gorgeous than yesterday's, and nodded with satisfaction. However, she was a little dissatisfied with the accessories.
But there is no way, it is issued by the palace and cannot be changed.
The auspicious time has arrived!
In the Zhiren Hall, the brides were lined up in three rows.
It was then that Jiu Ning discovered that not all brides dressed the same. The gold medal wedding dress was particularly grand, and she was also standing in the front row.
Following that are jade plaques and wooden plaques.
Not only did Mu Pai stand at the back, but she also had only a light touch of makeup on her face.
In front of them, there were many people standing, only three of whom she had seen last night.
The person standing next to Gong Yuanzheng should be his brother Gong Shangjiao, and the person standing next to Gong Ziyu is Gong Zishang, the only woman of this generation in the palace.
The one in front is Gong Hongyu, the one holding the blade, and the ones standing behind him are probably the elders of the palace!
Under the gaze of everyone, Gong Huanyu came to the first row of brides and stood in front of Yun Weishan first.
Yun Weishan smiled gently, but the next moment, Gong Huanyu walked past her.
Look at Jiang Lili, come to Jiu Ning, and then smile at Jiu Ning.
Oh no! A big hand reached out and wanted to hold her hand. Jiuning immediately put her hand behind her back and dodged.
