Chapter 248 Gong Yuanzheng 35
"You're different. It's a physical issue, not a personality trait..."
Of course, her good looks are a plus; her illness is nothing to him.
Upon hearing this, a light flashed in Qingyue's eyes.
Well, since we chose to stay and give it a try in the first place, what's the point of agonizing over it now?
Gong Yuanzheng glanced at her every now and then with his small eyes.
"If I ever lied to you about anything, you..."
Before Qingyue could finish speaking, Gong Yuanzheng interrupted her with wide eyes.
"Lying to me? Are you a spy for Wu Feng?"
Qing Yue immediately shook her head: "No."
"Oh."
Hearing that she was not a spy from Wufeng, coupled with Yun Weishan's explanation and Shangguan Qian's targeting of her, dispelled the doubts that had arisen.
"You're lying to me. Will you hurt me? Will you hurt the palace?"
Qingyue shook her head again: "No."
She came here to eliminate Wufeng and knew the secret of the palace gate's protection. She was a friend, not an enemy, so she naturally wouldn't harm the palace gate.
Whether it will hurt him or not depends on how he defines it.
That's harmless. At most, I might lie to him about something, which he can accept.
"You're lying!" Gong Yuanzheng blurted out without any scruples.
His magnanimity made Qingyue look at him with curiosity, but he didn't know anything about it and simply ignored it.
Should we say he blindly trusted her, or that he had already fallen in love with her?
He showed many facets of himself, which made him quite endearing.
Gong Yuanzheng asked cautiously, "Is this matter over?"
"…Um."
Qingyue felt that all her agonizing over these past few days had been for nothing.
The development was completely different from what she had imagined.
Gong Yuanzheng: "You won't avoid me anymore, will you?"
"will not."
Gong Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief; the bride he almost had was gone.
He didn't like to force anything in this matter, after all, they were going to live together for a long time. If Yueqing really didn't like him and felt that the two of them were not suitable, he would tell his brother to let her... leave the palace.
"I'll play this game with you until the end."
He hooked the white chess box over, picked up a small piece, and placed it on the chessboard.
Qingyue surrounded and captured his chess pieces.
"What time are you leaving for the back mountain tomorrow?"
"Go after you finish your breakfast in the morning."
As the game progressed, Gong Yuanzheng found himself with no way to move. Many of his pieces had been captured, leaving only scattered white pieces with lines that he couldn't capture on the board.
He's not bad at Go either; he can even go toe-to-toe with my brother.
How come it ended so soon?
Seeing his expression of utter disbelief, Qingyue couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't leave now!
"Let's go out for a walk."
"it is good!"
Gong Yuanzheng took a woman's cloak off the clothes rack and put it on Qingyue, saying that the weather was cold and she should keep warm.
He turned to the maid standing at the door and gave her instructions.
"Bring me a hot water bottle."
"Yes." The maid squatted down slightly and left.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, its warmth comforting the skin.
The guards and maids breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two walking together. Good thing, the young master's gloomy mood was finally over.
Qingyue: "You've been staying in the pharmacy since yesterday, why haven't you gone to see Young Master Jiao?"
How did she know? It was because the maid casually mentioned it when she brought breakfast.
As a palace maid, she naturally sided with the palace staff.
As if he had thought of something bad, Gong Yuanzheng's expression was not good, and his brows were furrowed.
"Brother brought Shangguan Qian to the Corner Palace."
Seeing Shangguan Qian's smug face, he wanted to poison her.
I really don't know what my brother is trying to do.
Having a cloud as a garment is enough; it can achieve internal and external harmony just as well. Why keep a cancerous tumor by your side?
Even if Shangguan Qian knew that Yun Weishan's identity had been discovered, so what? She couldn't get the news out anyway. She could just silence her.
Gong Yuanzheng added worriedly, "Stay away from her. Even if she wants to talk to you, you should stand at least 2 meters away from her."
"why?"
Did they already know that Shangguan Qian was also a spy for Wufeng?
Did you get the news from Yun Weishan?
Both were spies, yet they betrayed each other so quickly?
Gong Yuanzheng was afraid of frightening her, so he did not explicitly reveal Shangguan Qian's identity as a spy.
"She's not a good person, just remember not to get too close to her."
It seems that she doesn't need to take any further action. Shangguan Qian has already been exposed, and there's no need to worry about Gong Yuanzheng being schemed against by her. The palace gates are now wary of her.
"Okay, I remember."
If Shangguan Qian hadn't been loitering around the Corner Palace, he would have gone there last night to have a heart-to-heart talk with his brother. It's all that troublesome woman's fault.
He didn't want Shangguan Qian to hear about his private affairs.
The person they were discussing, Shangguan Qian, happened to come out of that road, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand.
Seeing Song Yueqing's attire, and seeing her standing next to the two of them, their clothes brushed against each other.
Song Yueqing's situation doesn't seem to be what she thought.
It was obvious that Song Yueqing was well taken care of by Gong Yuanzheng. At least in terms of clothing, she was much more luxurious and refined than Song Yueqing, as if she had become a completely different person.
Clothes make the man!
But the difference is too big.
Although Song Yueqing, who was dressed in white before, was sharp-tongued, she also appeared delicate and gentle.
Nowadays, Song Yueqing seems to be high above everyone else, as if she is the master of the palace.
Gong Yuanzheng, who was sitting right across from her, rolled his eyes. It seemed like he could run into her everywhere.
Shangguan greeted them with a friendly smile: "Sister Song, Brother Zheng."
Upon hearing this form of address, both of them frowned simultaneously.
Gong Yuanzheng glanced at the pool beside him, his face...
"Who's your brother? If you call me that again, I'll have someone throw you into the pond over there and give you a good wash."
Shangguan Qian: "...Is Young Master Zheng going to find Young Master Jiao?"
This is what it means to be a wise person who knows when to yield.
She never expected that even now that she had become the official wife of the palace, Gong Yuanzheng would still treat her so rudely, after all, she was still his sister-in-law.
Does Gong Yuanzheng think she stole his brother, which is why he treats her this way?
Or was it that Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were so sharp that he also suspected she was a spy from Wufeng?
Did Yun Weishan reveal what she said?
That's not right either. If she revealed it, why would Young Master Jiao choose her?
Gong Yuanzheng said with disgust, "None of your business."
"Pfft."
Qingyue laughed. Yuanzheng was still the same Yuanzheng, sharp-tongued, but this sharp tongue was no longer directed at her.
Shangguan Qian's face was full of hurt, as if Gong Yuanzheng and Qing Yue had done something very wrong to her.
Qingyue: "Miss Shangguan, you don't have to make that expression every time. It's getting annoying to see it so often."
"Knowing we don't get along, why bother making a fool of ourselves?"
"If we answer you, you won't be satisfied; if we don't answer you, it would seem impolite of us."
Shangguan Qian wiped away her tears and adopted the attitude of a sister-in-law.
"From now on, we'll all be family. If there's any misunderstanding, we should explain it clearly. It's always best to stay peaceful and harmonious."
