Chapter 243 Gong Yuanzheng 30
"it is good."
Qingyue didn't want to see Shangguan Qian all the time either. She really had no sense of propriety and couldn't see at all that she was annoyed by her.
"Young Master Yu, what about me?" Ye Zihan stood beside Gong Ziyu.
Gong Ziyu: "...I'll have Jin Fan escort you back to the women's quarters, and I'll personally pick you up tomorrow. You can take this opportunity to pack your luggage."
"Yes."
Ye Zihan left with Jin Fan. She didn't have Miss Song's courage, nor could she think as quickly.
She admired the way Zheng Gongzi treated Miss Song and also felt admiration for Miss Song for standing up for Zheng Gongzi.
"Brother, you get some rest. I'm going with her now."
Gong Yuanzheng didn't forget to greet Gong Shangjiao.
Gong Shangjiao, who still wanted to discuss the specifics with Gong Yuanzheng, was speechless.
Never mind, we can talk about it tomorrow, it won't make a difference.
"Go."
My younger brother has grown up and now has his own family. Why do I feel a little sad about this?
Gong Yuanzheng hadn't forgotten that Song Yueqing had been standing there for a long time. He carefully supported her wrist as she walked down the steps, afraid that she might fall.
The streetlights flickered, making it difficult to see the delicate-looking woman clearly.
He doesn't usually use lanterns, but to make it easier for Qingyue to walk, a maid went down to fetch a lantern and led the way.
"Are you tired right now?" Gong Yuanzheng asked, looking down at her.
"Hmm?" Qingyue looked up and nodded: "A little."
Before coming to the lobby, she planned to wash up. It was boring here, there was nothing to do, and her companion wasn't around. Getting to sleep early was the most useful thing to do right now.
Gong Yuanzheng: "Then I'll show you again."
Qingyue: "What is that?"
"Didn't you want to know about the Cloud Lotus?" Gong Yuanzheng's fingertips curled involuntarily. "I'll show you the Cloud Lotus tomorrow."
"Okay."
Qingyue smiled slightly and replied, "It is indeed very late today. Judging from the sky, it is about midnight, which is around 11 pm to 12 am."
The two arrived at Zheng Palace. Gong Yuanzheng led Qingyue to the room next to his main room, which was the largest room besides his own.
"Look around, is there anything else missing?"
Qingyue went inside. The room was bright and spacious, with six candlesticks that provided excellent illumination.
On the tea table were the tea leaves she often drank, and on the other side was a chessboard and a dining table.
Stepping to the other side and pushing open the door, the dressing table was filled with things: rouge and powder, and upon opening the boxes, there was also a lot of jewelry. The wardrobe was also filled with folded clothes.
Behind the screen was a large bed, twice the size of the one in the women's courtyard.
The decorations were very thoughtful, and it felt nice to feel valued.
Qingyue smiled sincerely at the man at the door: "I like it very much, thank you for your trouble."
Why are you smiling so beautifully...?
Gong Yuanzheng's ears flushed slightly, his gaze drifting: "If you like it, that's good. You should get some rest. I'll be going now."
After saying that, he stumbled, tripping over his own feet. Feeling a little embarrassed, he quickly ran away.
He walked to his other dormitory room and slammed the door shut.
"Oh!"
Qingyue took in all his little actions, and couldn't help but smile.
She instructed the maid guarding the door to fetch some water, as she wanted to bathe before going to sleep.
...
Women's courtyard.
Shangguan Qian, who had been waiting outside the attic, finally saw someone arrive.
"Why didn't Sister Song come back with you? Was she arrested?"
Hearing this, Ye Zihan glanced at Shangguan Qian in silence. She didn't understand why Shangguan Qian harbored such malice towards Song Yueqing.
The way Young Master Jiao and Young Master Zheng treat Shangguan Qian is quite meaningful.
Logically speaking, since Young Master Jiao had chosen a bride, he wouldn't have shown Shangguan Qianliu no respect at all, and the three elders would have ignored her openly or secretly if they could.
"Young Master Zheng has already taken Miss Song back to Zheng Palace and will not be coming to the Women's Courtyard again."
Ye Zihan still answered her question, but she wouldn't go into any deeper details, such as what happened tonight after Shangguan Qian left.
She is knowledgeable about the situation and understands the circumstances.
Even if these things get out, they won't come from her; either Young Master Jiao will tell Shangguan Qian himself.
She would never cause trouble.
Shangguan Qian asked again, "Why didn't Zhi Ren take you to the Feather Palace as well?"
"Zhi Ren said he'll come to pick me up in person tomorrow." Ye Zihan said with a fake smile, "I'm going to rest now so I can get up early tomorrow to pack my luggage."
"and many more."
Shangguan Qian called out to her, and Ye Zihan turned around, indicating that she had something else to say.
What happened after I left tonight?
"Was Young Master Zheng framed by Zhi Ren, or did Young Master Zheng really do these things?"
Ye Zihan suddenly looked troubled, shook her head in disappointment, and her expression was full of ignorance.
"I don't know either. After you left, I was also asked to leave. The only people who know are a few palace masters, elders, and Zhi Ren."
"Isn't Miss Song inside?" Shangguan Qian pressed.
Ye Zihan: "She was there too, but I don't know what she said. After we came out, she left with Young Master Zheng."
You can't pretend you don't know anything, but you can't know everything either. It's really difficult.
Why is she still asking? She's already made it so clear.
If you ask her again, she might start to overthink it!
Shangguan Qian is suspicious, but that doesn't stop people from being curious about everything and wanting to get to the bottom of things. Such people do exist.
"I'm sorry to have stopped you from resting. I was just too curious, so I asked."
Shangguan Qian smiled at her shyly.
Ye Zihan nodded to her, stepped into her dormitory, and closed the door in one smooth motion.
Shangguan Qian rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
Song Yueqing was probably kept inside because she stood up for Gong Yuanzheng.
Ye Zihan, being a woman of few words, stood quietly the whole time. If there were things she couldn't hear, she would ask someone to leave first and wait.
But why not have Ye Zihan return to the women's quarters, instead of having her stand at the door and wait?
Unlike Gong Yuanzheng, Gong Ziyu did not bring Ye Zihan back to Yu Palace that very night.
Could it be that Gong Yuanzheng brought Song Yueqing to the Zheng Palace for some other reason?
Otherwise, how do you explain bringing someone back in the middle of the night?
Do you think it's suspicious that she said those words?
Who exactly is Song Yueqing? Is she really the Fourth Miss Song, or is she also a spy for Wufeng?
At least Song Yueqing became suspicious at the palace gate, so she can be considered a target for making a scene.
Serves him right for trying to get involved in that kind of topic; he was asking for trouble.
She didn't care what happened inside, and what did it matter to her who killed the old master and the young master?
Anyway, she didn't kill him.
Furthermore, it involves the Feather Palace and the Zheng Palace, and has absolutely nothing to do with her Horn Palace, so why bother asking so much?
Feeling that his prediction was mostly correct, he returned to his room satisfied.
She wondered when Young Master Jiao would come to pick her up.
Is it also tomorrow?
I need to get a good night's sleep tonight so I can prepare early tomorrow.
She refused to believe that she couldn't win over Young Master Jiao after going to the Horn Palace. Men love delicate women who need protection, and coincidentally, that's what she excels at.
