Chapter 233 Gong Yuanzheng 20
Chapter 233 Gong Yuanzheng 20
This foolproof selection is perfectly reasonable.
Moreover, Gong Ziyu would not marry his bride immediately after choosing her, and the same goes for Gong Yuanzheng. He would choose a bride to serve him and then choose a good time to marry her.
This would prevent the need to select another bride and prevent Wu Feng from sneaking into the palace again.
"That's true. They managed to infiltrate three this time; who knows how many they might be able to do next time."
"You should choose the expedition as well!"
Gong Yuanzheng watched as his brother nodded to him, and he could only agree, raising his hand to bow slightly.
"Yes, elder."
"Brother Ziyu, what do you think?" Gong Shangjiao then glanced at Gong Ziyu, who was standing to the side.
Gong Ziyu: “…”
You've already made your decision before asking him, so why bother asking when you already know the answer?
"It's a good thing that Brother Shangjiao and Brother Yuanzheng are going to choose a wife together. However, they have always had high standards and discerning eyes. I wonder if any of the girls I've chosen that I haven't found will be willing to settle for one of them?"
As Gong Ziyu spoke, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had already turned the tables.
“Brother Ziyu, I never compromise on anything.”
Gong Shangjiao turned his face to look at Gong Ziyu.
"Help me keep Miss Shangguan here."
Upon hearing this name, Gong Ziyu looked at him with some surprise.
"Brother Shangjiao is going to choose an assassin as his bride?"
The three elders were also anxious: "Yes, Shang Jiao, you knew that Shangguan Qian was an assassin, so why did you still choose her?"
Gong Yuanzheng frowned: "Brother!"
Gong Shangjiao: "This time, Wu Feng sneaked into the palace gate and was caught by us. Now we are in the dark, and Shangguan Qian is in the light."
"I plan to use Shangguan Qian to spread the false information I want her to spread, and ideally, to annihilate Wufeng in one fell swoop!"
"this..."
Upon hearing this, the three elders hesitated but no longer objected, realizing it was indeed a good idea.
Gong Shangjiao added, "I thought about handing this responsibility over to my younger brother Ziyu, but I was afraid that he would knowingly commit the crime and easily fall into Shangguan Qian's trap, so I had to bring it up myself."
"As long as Wu Feng is eliminated, we won't have to worry about spies when choosing a bride next time."
"you!"
Gong Ziyu was furious. What did he mean? Did he think he would end up like Young Master Yue?
Elder Hua suggested, "Why don't you choose two people, Shangjiao? One is Shangguan Qian, and the other is someone you truly love. Once Shangguan Qian is no longer useful, just kill her and live a good life with the person you truly love."
Miyazaki refused righteously.
"No, Shangguan Qian is too scheming. I'm afraid if I choose another bride, that bride will fall victim to her poison."
"The poison in Miss Jiang's body is a mixture of poisons, one part of which came from Yun Weishan, and the other part is thanks to Shangguan Qian."
The three elders sighed, lamenting that Shang Jiao had to be sacrificed again, and that the current Zhi Ren was far from being a great force.
However, choosing Gong Ziyu as the wielder was a last resort at the time.
The Moon Elder hoped that Gong Ziyu would live a carefree life in the palace, but he never expected that such a heavy responsibility would fall on his shoulders.
Elder Hua: "As you say, let's wait until Wu Feng's matter is settled before choosing a proper bride."
Once Gong Shangjiao saw that his own matter was resolved, he turned to ask Gong Yuanzheng.
"Expedition, who do you choose?"
Gong Yuanzheng's mind was still buzzing; he never imagined that the task of choosing a bride would fall to him.
"I do not know!"
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Gong Shangjiao turned his head and said, "Little brother Ziyu, do you mind if the youngest brother, Yuanzheng, chooses first?"
"do not mind!"
These three words were forced out by Gong Ziyu through gritted teeth.
Gong Shangjiao has shown such righteousness; if he were to fuss over such a trivial matter, the three elders would probably give him a hard time.
Gong Yuanzheng pondered for a moment, his mind locking onto Song Yueqing's face.
"I choose... Miss Song."
Gong Ziyu: "Miss Song's body is only covered by a wooden plaque. Won't you, Yuanzheng, reconsider?"
The three elders: "A wooden plaque?"
"His health is too poor, Yuanzheng. Why don't you find someone else?"
"It's just a wooden plaque!" Gong Yuanzheng said dismissively. "Give me some time, and I guarantee it will be fine. If necessary, I'll find some more Cloud Lotus seeds and cultivate a few more to prepare for her!"
I almost forgot that although Gong Yuanzheng is young, he has achieved a lot. His greatest strength is in medicine and poison. For him, his poor physical condition is really not a problem.
Thus, the three elders were relieved.
"Ziyu, what about you?"
Gong Ziyu was momentarily speechless. He really didn't know who to choose. The only name he could remember was Lin Manman, but Lin Manman had clearly stated that she disliked him.
Moreover, she has a sharp tongue and is very rude to him, so his potential brides had long since ruled her out.
Unexpectedly, among the brides were so many unsharp assassins, and the two who left the best impression on him were them.
One person who didn't seem good was selected by Gong Yuan, while another is still under discussion.
Elder Yue asked with concern, "Ziyu, don't you have someone you like?"
"I choose Miss Lin." Gong Ziyu still mentioned the bride who disliked him.
The remaining brides were not as outstanding in appearance as these few, nor did they leave as deep an impression on him.
Gong Shangjiao thought of Lin Manman, whom he had met that evening, and lowered his eyes without saying anything.
Gong Yuanzheng crossed his arms and said bluntly, "I heard that the bride doesn't like you. Why did you choose her? Are you forcing her to stay in the palace?"
"what!"
The three elders were shocked. They thought of the old master's wife, who also did not want to stay at the palace gate, but was chosen by the old master and forced to stay. She was unhappy every day and eventually passed away early.
"Ziyu, you should choose someone else. This Miss Lin is not suitable for you."
Elder of the Moon: "What did Ziyu do to make that bride dislike you?"
Gong Ziyu: “…”
He himself didn't know how to explain it!
Gong Yuanzheng raised an eyebrow at Gong Ziyu.
"I heard that on the second day after the brides entered the palace, he went to the women's quarters and asked the bride for things. He acted like a lecher, which made the bride have a very bad impression of him."
Everyone: "..."
It's understandable that they dislike Gong Ziyu. They want to speak on Gong Ziyu's side and also feel that Gong Ziyu did something wrong.
The day after the brides entered the palace, they were still Gong Huanyu's chosen brides.
We're not ready to let anyone else choose yet!
Gong Ziyu then barged into the women's quarters, where noble ladies lived; it was the bride's boudoir.
Even Gong Huanyu didn't go there to make private contact, how dare Gong Ziyu!
No wonder people dislike him.
Gong Ziyu retorted indignantly, "Didn't you scare Miss Song to tears on the first day the bride arrived?"
Gong Yuanzheng immediately objected: "I did that to prevent any assassins from being missed. Besides, she doesn't dislike me; they dislike you!"
Gong Ziyu: “…”
That's even more heartbreaking...
He had never made them cry, yet they were so unfriendly to him.
The three elders shook their heads. How could these two things be compared?
