Chapter 274 Gong Yuanzheng 61
Gong Shangjiao had his back to her; he couldn't get involved now, and he couldn't be soft-hearted towards her.
Qingyue was right. He was arrogant. He was confident that he could control Shangguan Qian, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Qian could control him. He calmed down the slight turmoil in his heart.
Gong Yuanzheng looked down at Shangguan Qian, who was still pretending to be pitiful on the ground, with disgust.
“Every time I see you, I feel disgusted. I wish I could poison you, assassin, into a pool of corpse fluid and let the soil absorb it all.”
Shangguan Qian was alarmed. Had she been discovered?
how come…
She hadn't been caught doing anything wrong during this time, so how would they know?
Was it Yun Weishan who exposed her?
"I don't understand what you're saying, Young Master Zheng. I know you and Sister Song have never liked me, but there's no need to use the name of the Wufeng spy to slander me."
Gong Yuanzheng's face darkened immediately when he heard her address Qingqing.
"If you call me 'Sister Song' again, I'll have your stinking mouth sewn shut!"
Shangguan Qian choked. She hadn't called him "Brother Zheng" either, so why was Young Master Zheng so fierce?
Gong Yuanzheng continued, "You're quite the actor. We knew you were Wufeng's spy long before the bride selection, otherwise why would my brother have chosen you as his bride?"
Shangguan Qian: "...You knew all along?"
"You must be quite pleased with yourself for being the wife of the antagonist for so long," Gong Yuanzheng said with a forced smile.
"You have no useful information at all, so keeping you around is pointless."
Gong Yuanzheng took out a highly poisonous pill from his poison bag and had the guards force-feed it to her; he didn't want to come into contact with this woman himself.
Shangguan Qian shook her head. She didn't think she could escape under the watchful eyes of so many people at the palace gates, so she didn't stand up and resist.
He said, "Wait, you can't kill me!"
The guard paused, looking at the higher-ups. Should he continue?
"Why can't I kill you?" Gong Shangjiao turned around and faced her directly.
Everyone is waiting to find out why this 'cannot' is true.
Shangguan Qian reached out and swept her hair forward, revealing the back of her neck.
"I am an orphan of the Lonely Mountain Sect. The entire Lonely Mountain Sect perished because you failed to come to our aid. Do you intend to kill the last remaining members of the Lonely Mountain Sect?!"
As the group approached, they saw that it truly was a unique mark of the Lonely Mountain Sect.
Elder Xue instructed the guard beside her, "Summon Gong Huanyu."
Guard: "Yes!"
Several question marks popped into Shangguan Qian's head. She didn't understand. Wasn't Gong Huanyu already dead?
And why call him here?
Gong Huanyu, who had only gone halfway, arrived at the Blade-Holding Hall again.
Elder Hua: "Shangguan Qian is the Wufeng Assassin. She said she is the last descendant of the Lonely Mountain Sect. Do you remember her?"
Gong Huanyu glanced at Shangguan Qian on the ground. He already knew that Shangguan Qian was the Wufeng Assassin and that she was the last descendant of the Gushan Sect.
"Whether she is a descendant of the Lonely Mountain Sect or not is not important. What is important is that she is the Wufeng Assassin, and she deserves to die."
Shangguan Qian retorted loudly: "I didn't want to become a Wufeng assassin either. I lost my memory when I was running away. I was rescued by Dianzhu and that's how I became a Wufeng assassin. I only regained my memory a few years ago."
"Two years ago, I had successfully poisoned him, and he was almost dead. But someone brought the Herbal Essence from Zheng Palace and saved him. Otherwise, I would have escaped Wu Feng's control long ago."
Gong Yuanzheng thought of Elder Yue's lover, Yun Que. Her body, which had been faked, was brought to Wufeng. Young Master Yue must have given Yun Que Baicao Cui, the antidote found on Yun Que's body.
"So, you didn't do anything for Wufeng after you regained your memories?" Gong Huanyu asked with a calm expression.
Shangguan Qian: "...Yes, but I had no choice."
If she hadn't been working for Wufeng, why would she be at the palace gate now? It was precisely because she was working for Wufeng, coupled with her own selfish motives, that she willingly came.
"So your death was unavoidable." Gong Huanyu showed no mercy.
Suddenly, everyone felt that it was quite good for Gong Huanyu to be the young master.
He will kill everyone in Wufeng equally, even the Wufeng assassins who are members of the Lonely Mountain Sect.
Unfortunately, Gong Huanyu had gone mad with hatred and did something irreversible.
Shangguan Qian wept miserably, trying to soften Gong Shangjiao's heart. She knew that only Gong Shangjiao would soften his attitude towards her.
"No... I'm useful, I can spread false information..."
Gong Yuanzheng stood directly in front of Gong Shangjiao, blocking Shangguan Qian's pitiful gaze.
If Shangguan Qian really wanted to defect to the enemy, why didn't she test him first? If he could accept it, wouldn't it have been better for her to completely expose herself then?
But what did she do during this time? Whenever she ran into him, her eyes kept scanning the drug bag he was carrying.
When she escorted him to the back mountain, her eyes darted around as if she wanted to carve the surrounding path into them. Did she think she was being very discreet?
He saw it all, but he didn't say anything because his brother said she was useful.
Shangguan Qian has always remembered the task Wu Feng gave her, and now that she has turned against him, who knows what kind of evil she is plotting.
Gong Yuanzheng angrily rebuked the guard who was holding the poison.
"What are you waiting for? If you don't feed her, do you want to eat it yourself?"
The guard's hand trembled slightly in fright, and he quickly stuffed the medicine into Shangguan Qian's mouth.
Afraid she would vomit, I kept covering her mouth and tilting her head back so that her saliva would slide down as she swallowed.
Shangguan Qian's tears streamed down her face as she gripped the guard's hand, trying to pull away his hand that was covering her mouth. Scratches appeared on the guard's hand.
Gong Yuanzheng is now the highest-ranking official in the entire palace. Who can refute his orders?
Not to mention they were happy to see this scene; Gong Shangjiao had broken a taboo, and Shangguan Qian could not stay.
Shangguan Qian held on for a while, and even though she tried not to sob, the pill dissolved in her mouth and flowed down her esophagus and stomach.
With a heart ashen, he closed his eyes, knowing he was about to die, then opened them again to look at Gong Shangjiao.
If she hadn't been without a sharp edge, if she hadn't been hit by the Half-Moon Fly, would she have become Gong Shangjiao's true wife, the true and proper Lady Jiao of Jiao Gong?
Unfortunately, there are no solutions, because there are no "what ifs" in life.
Shangguan Qian breathed her last right under everyone's noses.
Gong Yuanzheng waved his hand, and the guards, understanding the situation, dragged Shangguan Qian out.
Gong Shangjiao lowered his eyes. He had made a mistake from the beginning. He shouldn't have let his guard down around Shangguan Qian, and he shouldn't have been soft-hearted towards her.
This outcome is good, as it eliminates all problems at their root.
Gong Shangjiao opened his mouth, but finally spoke.
"Give her a proper burial; she was, after all, a member of the Lonely Mountain Sect."
The guard paused, then quickly replied, "Yes!"
The person was already dead, and he didn't say anything about Gong Shangjiao's decision. After all, Shangguan Qian was also the last surviving member of the Gushan Sect.
Gong Shangjiao thought for a moment and then instructed the guards: "Release Yun Weishan from the dungeon and arrange for her to return to the women's quarters. Now no one will be able to expose her existence."
Guard: "Yes!"
"I wonder how Qingqing is doing now," Gong Yuanzheng sighed mournfully.
