Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 256 Gong Yuanzheng 43

It was quite unexpected that Shangguan Qian was chosen by Gong Shangjiao.

Shangguan Qian wasn't sure if everyone in the palace knew her background, or if it was just Yuanzheng's sixth sense acting up.

However, having such a person by his side clearly indicates that Miyazaki has absolute confidence in himself.

If it's just about choosing a bride, then she thinks the same way as Miss Ye, and Gong Shangjiao has a problem with his judgment!

Miyazaki: "???"

How did the topic turn to him? Weren't we talking about Lady Wu Ji and Gong Ziyu?

"Why do you say that?"

Qingyue remained silent; if she spoke, wouldn't she expose herself?

Who knows what crazy things they'll do? They'll start suspecting her of being a spy for Wufeng again. Those four words are an insult to her!

"Has Young Master Jiao ever considered that the brides who come to the palace gates for selection have their pulses checked by a physician the very next day? The physician can tell whether a woman is strong or weak, so how could he not detect if she is pregnant?"

"Not to mention that I didn't have the opportunity to meet the young master of the palace gate in the early stages."

"Previous brides-to-be probably didn't encounter as many unexpected events as this year's brides."

"Logically speaking, even if Old Blade Master likes Young Master Yu's mother very much, it would only be after she has been successfully selected and is standing in the Blade Master Hall waiting to be chosen."

"Not to mention that Old Blade Master arranged all of this behind the scenes, so how could there be any possibility that she was pregnant before!"

Gong Shangjiao remained silent; he truly didn't know there were so many procedures involved in selecting a bride.

He left shortly after returning, and by the time he came back, the situation had already been settled.

He really went astray on this line of thought. If he hadn't come to find Song Yueqing, he would probably be discussing cooperation matters in Lady Wuji's room right now.

"It was my oversight."

Qingyue added, "I've met Gong Ziyu a few times. His health is indeed not as good as that of an ordinary person. It's obviously due to congenital deficiencies caused by premature birth, just like me."

Knowing that Gong Ziyu was indeed of the Gong family bloodline, Gong Shangjiao's tolerance for Gong Ziyu increased considerably.

Gong Shangjiao frowned: "But why did such rumors circulate back then?"

He still couldn't figure it out, and he still had doubts about Gong Ziyu's background because of that rumor. The rumor had been circulating for several years, not just for a day or two.

Qingyue waved her hand: "I can't deduce that."

She's not a goddess or a monster; she can't go back to the past.

Now that she has been through it, she knows the standards the palace has for brides. How could someone be pregnant without her knowing?

Gong Shangjiao thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Lady Lan did not come to the palace gate voluntarily. She had someone she loved outside, but was left at the palace gate by the old master, and was unhappy every day until she died young."

"That's why everyone says that the child in Madam Lan's belly is not Old Blade's."

"From Madam Lan's pregnancy to her death, the rumors circulated for several years without anyone clarifying them. Neither Madam Lan nor Old Master Zhiren made any statement."

"Over time, although the rumors gradually faded away, they remained deep in everyone's hearts."

Qingyue pondered, her fingers lightly tapping the table.

"Is it possible that these rumors were spread by Lao Zhiren?"

"What!" Gong Shangjiao was shocked. "How could this be? What good would it do for Old Master Ren to be caught up in rumors about Madam Lan?!"

Qingyue: "There are benefits."

"What is it?"

Gong Shangjiao didn't think his wife would benefit from such rumors. If it were him, he would want to kill the person who spread them.

Qingyue: "As you said, Madam Lan has someone she likes, and she is unhappy every day."

"Old Blade Master did this simply to get Madam Lan to come to him and make him, as Blade Master, clarify everything, which means he has to back down."

"By giving in, it means that Madam Lan has let go and is ready to live a good life with Old Master Ren."

"What Old Blade didn't expect was that Madam Lan was very stubborn. Even after the rumors had been circulating for years, she didn't take a single step for Gong Ziyu. In fact, it was probably because of the rumors that her already lifeless condition hastened her death."

Upon hearing this, Miyazaki was shocked, and his mind went completely blank.

No wonder everyone from the palace elders to the children knew about those rumors; how could Old Blade Master not know?

But he said nothing and let the rumors spread.

It turns out that it was all because Old Master Zhi Ren wanted to force Madam Lan to submit, but unexpectedly this hastened the early death of the melancholy Madam Lan.

How could Madam Lan, who was constantly depressed, live long? Not to mention that all the gossip around her only aggravated her mental anguish.

Alas, if it weren't for Gong Yuanzheng's reminder a few days ago, Gong Ziyu might have followed in his father's footsteps. Fortunately, Miss Lin Manman left the palace and wasn't forcibly detained.

Qingyue rested her chin on her hand, as if she had just thought of something.

"By the way, you said Lady Wuji was Lady Lan's dowry maid, so how come she was allowed to bring outsiders?"

Gong Shangjiao: "Old Master Ren felt sorry for Madam Lan and was afraid that she would be alone, so he made an exception for her."

"I see." Qingyue smiled and said, "In other words, in the past, besides the brides in each palace being outsiders, there was also a maid who was an outsider."

A maid is much more secretive than a bride; who would bother to investigate a maid's background?

Not to mention that the old master of the blade made a special exception. If Madam Lan had no problem with a maid who had been by her side for many years, then naturally her maid would also have no problem.

She roughly guessed the truth.

Who was responsible for that brutal battle at the palace gate ten years ago, and why did the Feather Palace escape unscathed? So that's how it was.

My brother was right. With Gong Hongyu holding the reins of power, the palace gates cannot be trusted.

Fortunately, he is now dead, and the palace has been succeeded by a very naive person, who is also from the Feather Palace. Gong Ziyu is very emotional and is not a good partner either.

Gong Shangjiao asked with a serious expression, "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing is settled yet."

Qingyue poured out the cold tea and poured herself and Gong Shangjiao a fresh cup.

"Sometimes it's best not to be careless, Young Master!"

Gong Shangjiao's expression was serious: "What do you know?"

Qingyue smiled silently: "What could I possibly know? All the things I know come out of your mouth."

Gong Shangjiao glanced at her twice. Regardless of what she meant, he was going to investigate Lady Wuji.

When he returns from his expedition, let him come and ask his clever and difficult wife himself.

“It’s time for me to leave.” Gong Shangjiao stood up.

"No need to see me out." Qingyue leaned back, making no move to get up.

With a cold expression, Gong Shangjiao quickly left Zheng Palace and arrived at Jiao Palace, where he began to order people to investigate Lady Wuji.

He knew that Song Yueqing had definitely discovered something, but she wouldn't say anything. Without any evidence, she wasn't a spy, so how could he force her to reveal it?

Whatever she can think of, he can certainly find out as well.
