Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 229 Gong Yuanzheng 16

Qingyue secretly gave her a thumbs up. Wow, she finished speaking without even blinking.

Gong Shangjiao tilted his head and looked in the direction of Zheng Gong.

"Is she trying to harm the bride to bring about palace intrigue?"

"We didn't know which way she was going, we just followed her and ended up here."

Qingyue retorted softly.

"When we saw her come to Zhenggong Pharmacy, she was probably not feeling well. She knew we had misunderstood and was just about to go back and pretend nothing had happened when you showed up and startled us."

The two brides are so timid, yet they are quite loyal.

I don't know if it's an act or genuine.

Gong Shangjiao: "Come in with me and wait for the bride to come out so we can go back together."

"Ok."

Lin Manman and Qing Yue were very nervous, their steps trembling as they followed behind Gong Shangjiao.

Zhenggong Pharmacy.

Gong Yuanzheng held the knife two centimeters from Shangguan Qian's neck.

"bride?"

Shangguan Qian looked stunned and gave a soft "hmm".

Gong Yuanzheng's hand, holding the knife, remained firm: "You shouldn't have come here."

Shangguan Qian: "I know."

"You knew it, yet you still came. What are you doing here?"

Gong Yuanzheng looked Shangguan Qian up and down; he remembered this bride.

Two days ago, when he was looking at the nails of the brides, he asked Song Yueqing a few questions and was about to leave when she raised them.

It was as if they wanted to implicate Song Yueqing as a spy as well.

Was it truly unintentional, or was she also a spy, seeking revenge for her companion being discovered?

Gong Yuanzheng's suspicions about Shangguan Qian rose sharply.

If Shangguan Qian hadn't been discovered tonight, this bride would have been overlooked, and there would have been quite a few suspicious points about her.

It's a pity that my brother hasn't returned yet, and he hasn't found out who Yun Weishan wants, otherwise he wouldn't have kept dragging this matter on.

"Dr. Zhou, who treated me, said that my breath was spicy and fragrant, my constitution was cold, and I had dampness accumulation. I don't know if it was because of this, but I only received a white jade token."

Shangguan Qian looked innocent, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"I came here to see him to see if there are any other remedies to treat my cold constitution."

Gong Yuanzheng sneered.

Even the weakest bride among the wooden plaques isn't as worried as you.

"You really want to be chosen by the Blade Master?"

Shangguan Qian: "I thought about it before, but I don't anymore."

"I don't want to come back." Gong Yuanzheng's face darkened again. This bride really talks too much.

Shangguan Qian replied irrelevantly, "The doctor said that dampness accumulation is detrimental to fertility."

"Then what do you mean by saying you thought about it before, but now you don't?"

Gong Yuanzheng pondered these words. Previously, Gong Huanyu was the young master, so this bride wanted to be the young master's wife. Now that Zhi Ren is Gong Ziyu, she doesn't want to be Zhi Ren's wife. Is that what it means?

"You must be Young Master Gong Yuanzheng, right?"

Shangguan Qian did not give a direct answer again, but looked up to meet Shanggong Yuanzheng's face.

Gong Yuanzheng's smile vanished: "That's ridiculous. Pretending to be something you're not. Didn't you already know who I was on the very first day?"

Shangguan Qian choked, realizing she had almost forgotten that Gong Ziyu had called out Gong Yuanzheng's name quite a few times.

"I was poisoned at the time, and I was somewhat delirious."

Gong Yuanzheng seemed convinced that Shangguan Qian was Wufeng's spy, and spoke without any politeness.

"If I were to administer poison, how could I not know the relative strengths and weaknesses of each ingredient?"

Shangguan Qian: "..."

This Palace Master of Zheng Palace is really not easy to deal with; the tip of the knife on her neck almost pierced her skin.

Shangguan Qian could only steer the conversation back to the previous level.

"In my eyes, Gong Ziyu is not worthy of being a blade wielder at all."

Shanggong Yuanzheng and Shangguan Qian shared the same idea about this matter, but that didn't mean he would agree to Wufeng's spy scheme.

Whether you are worthy or not is not up to you to decide.

"Your face is full of scheming. Another Wufeng spy?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qian's tears immediately streamed down her face: "I didn't..."

"I just want to say that the most qualified person to be the Blade Master is Mr. Miyaji, Miyaji Naokaku."

Gong Yuanzheng sneered, "So after all this time, you're trying to take advantage of my brother."

"What, is my brother your second choice?"

"No...no, that's not it." Shangguan Qian lowered her eyes to look at the tip of the knife, shaking her head as if she didn't dare to make a big movement.

Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were filled with coldness as he continued to speak.

“You were willing to marry Gong Huanyu when he was the young master, and you never thought of coming to Zheng Gong to recuperate. Now that Gong Ziyu has taken over as the blade, you suddenly care about your health.”

"You're spouting nonsense in front of me again, trying to pique my curiosity so I'll say a few good things about you to my brother?"

"Or are you just using the same excuse in front of me, but then pretending to be pitiful in front of Gong Ziyu?"

"It seems you want both sides. You're such a greedy and cunning spy, and you're being too clever for your own good."

There's a 70% certainty that Shangguan Qian is Yun Weishan's accomplice, but there's also a 30% fear that all she wants is a high position.

Gong Yuanzheng pushed the tip of his knife forward, just half a centimeter away from piercing Shangguan Qian's throat skin, before stopping and not making any rash moves.

Once he figures things out, he'll deal with this lying bride properly.

Shangguan Qian: "..."

Why is this person not playing by the rules? Hearing her speak up for her beloved brother so much, shouldn't he put down the knife?

Why is he able to make so many connections?

She did gamble, revealing her weakness in front of Gong Ziyu the very first time.

She wanted to gain favor with Gong Yuanzheng so that Gong Shangjiao would hear her name, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Gong Yuanzheng guessed her thoughts pretty accurately, and was just short of revealing her mission. He couldn't stay any longer and should find an opportunity to leave and return to the women's quarters.

If we stay any longer, who knows what other shocking things Gong Yuanzheng might say.

I didn't check the almanac before going out tonight, and things aren't going well.

Shangguan Qian burst into tears: "I didn't. Mr. Gong Er is incredibly brave. I have always loved Mr. Gong Er. I have no feelings for the former young master or the current master of blades."

"Tch." Gong Yuanzheng glanced at her tear-streaked face with disdain: "Your crying is disgusting. Do you think you're so pitiful?"

Shangguan Qian: "..."

Isn't he not very good at dealing with girls' tears?

When Song Yueqing cried last time, his actions were quite different; he seemed flustered. Why is he acting so differently with her?

Should she also pretend to faint from fright and run away?

The three people outside the door heard everything the two people inside the house said.

Qingyue and Lin Manman turned their heads to look at Gong Shangjiao in perfect unison.

It turns out that Shangguan Qian came to Zheng Palace to build a good relationship with Gong Yuanzheng and then get closer to Gong Shangjiao!

What a big bend!

Furthermore, the palace gate did not inform Gong Shangjiao about the marriage selection, but only informed him of the location of Gong Ziyu's wife, the Blade Master.

This Shangguan Qian has such high ambitions; she's determined to take down the most prestigious Gong Shangjiao in one fell swoop. She's got guts!

Gong Shangjiao noticed the gazes of the two brides and pursed his lips.

The person talking to Gong Yuanzheng should be the Shangguan bride they mentioned. Unexpectedly, she has plotted against Yuanzheng.
