Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 238 Gong Yuanzheng 25

“There are many guards patrolling the front mountain, but the back mountain is open and not people of low rank can get in. It’s good for you to stay here.”

When Qingyue arrived, she had already observed all the terrain. The back mountain was divided into several areas, with one mountain peak in each area.

There were few guards; most of them were stationed at the entrance to the back mountain.

The secret she needs to know must also be in the back mountain. The palace gates are very secure, and there are very few guards in the back mountain, as if they are afraid that others will find out the secret.

It's unlikely that no one would be left behind; it's more like they're guarding something. I'm afraid the people left here are more skilled in martial arts than the people from the front mountain. If we rashly go to investigate, we'll be discovered. There's no need to rush.

"The air here contains a small amount of toxins; inhaling it for too long can cause health problems. How do you feel about it?"

One of the guards spoke up: "We all carry antidotes given to us by the imperial physicians, and our bodies are fine."

Although the antidote pill cannot cure all poisons, it can still neutralize some very subtle toxins. As long as the poison does not cause immediate effects, even the most potent poison can be alleviated for a period of time.

"That's good, but we can't be careless."

Qingyue was quite confident in her guards.

"Yes!"

"I can't stay long, be careful."

Hee-eun: "Remember to miss me!"

The guards said, "Respectfully seeing off our master."

Qingyue nodded slightly, then vanished in a flash, quickly returning to her boudoir.

Shangguan Qian and Ye Zihan weren't close to her, and with Lin Manman not around, no one would come looking for her in the middle of the night, let alone stay at her place until midnight. That's why she chose to go out tonight.

Three days later.

The maids came to inform them to come to the Blade-Holding Hall again.

That's really urgent! It's already late at night and they're still notifying us. Couldn't they have waited until the next morning?

I almost changed and rested.

Qingyue stood up and followed the maid out. Shangguan Qian and Ye Zihan were already waiting downstairs.

I returned to the Blade Hall.

The number of people was the same as three days ago: three elders, one wielder, two palace masters, and guards standing by.

Upon seeing the arrival of the people, the guard unfurled the scroll in his hand and read aloud: "After verification, Miss Shangguan Qian and Miss Ye Zihan's identities are genuine, and there are no abnormalities."

"Upon verification, Miss Song Yueqing's identity is not accurate."

ha?

Several question marks popped into Song Yueqing's head.

Why does it always happen like this? I end up getting caught up in the drama myself.

Gong Yuanzheng lowered his arms from his chest and looked at his brother and Song Yueqing with a nervous expression, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them.

How could her identity be inconsistent!

The three elders and Gong Ziyu were startled. Another one?

Gong Shangjiao glanced at her sideways: "Miss Song, do you not believe the results of this investigation?"

His initial plan was to test Shangguan Qian, but then he realized that since he had already confirmed that Shangguan Qian was an assassin, this move was not necessary.

Instead of using it on Song Yueqing, the guards who went to investigate actually discovered something amiss.

"Do you think I should believe you?" Qingyue resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Even though she occasionally disliked her younger brother's unconventional behavior, she still had great faith in his abilities and believed that such a mistake was impossible.

Gong Shangjiao: "I have a few questions that Miss Song needs to answer."

"Go ahead and say it," Qing Yue said indifferently.

Gong Shangjiao asked, "I heard that Miss Song only has congenital asthma, so how come she has problems with everything now?"

Oops, I overdid it with the acupressure.

Qingyue: "If an illness is not cured for a long time, it will naturally lead to other illnesses."

Even if she ordered too much, it still caused her to experience symptoms of asthma; she didn't miss any.

The explanation is very reasonable.

Gong Shangjiao then asked, "But why did my guards take your portrait to your hometown to inquire, and why did no one recognize your appearance?"

Shangguan Qian, standing to the side, was inwardly laughing wildly. She could take care of Song Yueqing without even having to lift a finger; it was simply amazing.

However, it turns out that Song Yueqing is not actually herself; she kept it well hidden.

"We never expected that Miss Song would actually lie to us."

Shangguan Qian stood to the side with tears in her eyes, looking as if she had been deceived in her feelings.

It made everyone's teeth ache, and no one forgot her role as a spy without a blade.

"You're so annoying!" Qingyue frowned and said impatiently, "You're everywhere. Why are you so meddlesome? Do you just love showing off?"

"You're either crying all day long or on your way to cry. I'm not your man, so I won't feel sorry for your crocodile tears."

Everyone suppressed their laughter; what they said was quite apt.

If they didn't know that Shangguan Qian was a spy for Wufeng, they might have felt sorry for her. But since Shangguan Qian was a spy, they just thought that Song Yueqing should talk more.

Since they were going to cause trouble in secret, they couldn't directly show Shangguan Qian their displeasure.

Shangguan Qian looked at Gong Shangjiao with red eyes and a hurt expression.

Gong Shangjiao didn't even glance at her. He was still asking questions when she interrupted him, which made him lose even more of his already limited patience with her.

"Can you shut up? Is this a place where you can even speak?!"

Gong Yuanzheng glared angrily at Shangguan Qian.

He wanted to hear the explanation from the bride he had chosen, not the nonsense of the spy. How could Song Yueqing possibly lie to him!

Shangguan Qian's face stiffened, and she squatted down: "...Yes."

"Ignore the earlier interruption, you can continue now." Gong Shangjiao raised his hand, signaling Song Yueqing to explain.

Qingyue turned around and faced Gong Shangjiao's gaze directly.

"Because I'm sick!"

Everyone: "..."

There's no need to be so self-righteous; they all know she's in poor health.

Qingyue continued, "With so many illnesses on my body, how could I possibly travel around outside?"

"I am the fourth young lady of the Song family. My family dotes on me. They worry about me if I walk around in the courtyard for too long. How could they feel at ease letting me go out for diplomatic purposes?"

After listening, Gong Yuanzheng thought it made a lot of sense and tugged at Gong Shangjiao's clothes.

"Brother, I think what she said makes a lot of sense!"

Gong Shangjiao glanced at his younger brother speechlessly, then felt a sudden, sharp pain in his head!

Hearing someone speak up for her, Qingyue looked over. It seemed that the Palace Master who chose her was quite capable; at least he trusted the person she had chosen.

Although the person he chose told a lot of lies to deceive him.

But that doesn't stop him from trusting her.

Well, let's see how things go a bit more, and then find a time to be honest with each other.

The three elders also agreed that the guards should investigate the neighbors, not their own family members, for fear that their family members might be turned against them.

It's not uncommon for a young lady who has always been raised in seclusion to never leave her home.

Not to mention that Song Yueqing's health is poor, and they don't feel comfortable letting her go out. Even if she does go out, the neighbors only see her once a year and wouldn't recognize her!

"Miss Song's identity has been verified."

Gong Shangjiao sighed inwardly.

"What I did just now was a test of pressure. I had some doubts about these two points, so I took a risky approach. I hope you can understand."

Qingyue, understanding the greater good, didn't hold it against her: "It's good that it was a misunderstanding."

Gong Yuanzheng heard the answer he had thought of, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He knew Song Yueqing couldn't possibly lie to him.
