Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 244 Gong Yuanzheng 31

Daybreak.

Qingyue opened the wardrobe, took out a purple dress, and put it on.

Then she called a maid to bring in water for washing and grooming.

A maid is combing her hair, and a servant girl is applying makeup.

Half of her hair was loose and flowing, while the other half was tied up and adorned with exquisite hairpins from the box.

It was as if she had returned to a life like that of royalty. Looking at herself in the mirror, she realized she hadn't felt so refined in a long time.

The maid finished her work and said, "All done, Madam."

"Go down, you don't need to follow me." Qingyue waved her hand.

"Yes."

The maidservant half-squatted and stepped out of the room. Two maidservants stood guard at the door, afraid that no one would answer when she called for someone.

Qingyue walked to the pharmacy, where Gong Yuanzheng was already tinkering with herbs. Everyone had gotten up early and hadn't slept in.

Upon hearing footsteps, Gong Yuanzheng glared at the doorway, but when he realized it was his wife, he paused, and his expression softened instantly.

She looks more beautiful than ever today.

You should wear bright clothes, not dull white.

She looks beautiful in purple, exuding an unapproachable nobility. She's very suited to such luxurious clothes. It seems he should prepare more so that his wife can look beautiful every day.

Gong Yuanzheng put down the medicine in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the door.

Why didn't you bring a maid with you?

If she runs into trouble along the way, there are maids who can inform her or take care of her.

“I don’t leave the Zheng Palace, and there are guards every now and then.” Qingyue approached him: “I’ve been taking the medicine you prescribed for me, so there’s no problem. You don’t need to be so careful.”

"Then one of you should go with them, just in case something unexpected happens."

He hadn't forgotten that there was a spy hidden in the palace for 20 years, not to mention Shangguan Qian, whose identity had already been confirmed on the surface.

That woman is always targeting Song Yueqing; who knows what terrible things Shangguan Qian might do to her?

It's always good to be on guard.

Qingyue softened her tone: "I will definitely bring a maid with me when I leave Zheng Palace, but I won't bring one while I'm at Zheng Palace. Is that alright?"

"Alright then," Gong Yuanzheng reluctantly agreed.

He immediately ordered the guards to increase the number of patrols. His wife was so weak; he couldn't let her fall into the hands of others and be plotted against.

It can only be said that Gong Yuanzheng's filter for Song Yueqing is too deep and too heavy; the first impression was just too profound.

"Come here."

Gong Yuanzheng took Qingyue's hand and led her behind the screen.

Opening a box revealed an ice-blue lotus flower inside, radiating an ethereal, cloud-like aura.

"This is the Izumo Lotus?"

What a beautiful lotus flower! It hasn't bloomed yet; it's still closed, with only a tiny opening at the top. It's a variety I've never seen before.

Gong Yuanzheng hummed in agreement: "The Izumo Lotus is a rare and precious herb that can cure all diseases. As long as a person has a breath left, it can bring them back to life. It is extremely rare."

"I also accidentally found a few seeds and brought them back to cultivate. So far, only the one that Jia Ming used has been successful."

Gong Yuanzheng poured the prepared medicine into the soil of the Izumo Lotus.

"This flower is not yet fully cultivated."

He also secretly cultivated another one, as a backup for his brother to prevent it from being taken away midway again.

After choosing a new bride, knowing that Song Yueqing was in poor health, they searched for seeds overnight. Fortunately, they found a few, but they had just started cultivating them and hadn't seen any results yet. They didn't know if the seeds would even survive.

If the newly found seeds don't survive, then these two Izumo Lotus plants, which are already halfway to success, will be taken away by no one.

One brother was engaged, and one wife was engaged.

He's in good health and still young, so it doesn't matter whether he uses it or not. Right now, he'll poison anyone who tries to take it from him!

"I've never seen anything so amazing in this world before."

Qingyue looked away from Chuyun Chonglian and put the lid back on.

This Palace Master of Zheng Palace, Gong Yuanzheng, truly lives up to the rumors in the martial arts world: a genius of poison medicine. He discovered and cultivated such a heaven-defying thing as the Cloud Lotus, and he deserves this title.

These words sounded like a compliment, and Gong Yuanzheng smiled like a child.

He took a jar from a pile of bottles and handed it to Qingyue: "This is for you."

"what is this?"

Qingyue looked at the small medicine jar in her hand, uncorked it, and a fragrant aroma of medicine wafted out.

"This is a blend of herbs, which can cure all poisons," Gong Yuanzheng explained.

Qing Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly: "The herbs that Gong Huanyu exchanged are the prescription for Baicao Cui?"

“Yes, Old Zhiren died from a very common poison.” Gong Yuanzheng said solemnly, “It wasn’t poison that killed him, but his most trusted adopted son.”

A look of disdain flashed across Qingyue's eyes as she looked at Yugong and the Old Blade; she genuinely felt that Yugong was utterly useless.

Gong Yuanzheng: "I need to go and discuss something with my brother. If you're bored here, take the maids and go for a walk."

“Okay, go ahead.” Qingyue nodded obediently.

"Then I'm leaving."

Gong Yuanzheng turned and walked towards the door.

After he left, Qingyue took a good look around Zheng Palace, so that she would at least become more familiar with her current home.

...

Gong Yuanzheng arrived at Jiaogong.

"Brother, I'm here."

When Gong Shangjiao saw people arrive, he threw the things he had carefully searched at Steward Jia's house last night onto the table.

Gong Yuanzheng picked it up and looked at it: "This is... Wu Feng's assassin token, and it's even at the Charm level."

"Is it Shangguan Qian's or Wuming's?"

He hadn't forgotten Yun Weishan's guess about Shangguan Qian. There was a high chance that Shangguan Qian was at the Charm level, but he didn't know what level the Fifth Rank was.

Gong Shangjiao said in a heavy tone, "I think it is the Charm-level token of the Nameless Assassin."

"But...why did it end up at Steward Jia's house?"

Gong Yuanzheng was somewhat confused, his mind was in a mess, and several guesses came to mind.

"Could it be that Gong Huanyu discovered Wuming, or perhaps Wuming and Gong Huanyu are in a cooperative relationship?"

Thinking of this, Gong Yuanzheng pursed his lips: "As expected of the adopted son of the Gong family, even if he has half of the Gong family's blood in his body, he is still an ingrate."

"Perhaps you're right."

Gong Shangjiao couldn't think of any other reason. If Wuming had placed the token himself, why was it on Steward Jia's side?

If it wasn't Wuming who placed it, then why would Gong Huanyu have this token?

Therefore, Gong Huanyu definitely knew who Wuming was, and even went so far as to cooperate with Wuming to deal with the Gong family.

What does he want to do?

"Let's go see the elder."

"it is good."

The Hall of Blades.

The three elders looked at the Charm-level tokens in their hands, and Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng voiced their doubts.

Gong Ziyu is still reeling from yesterday's events, and now she's been hit with another blow.

"Brother is collaborating with Wuming?"

Gong Shangjiao said coldly, "Otherwise, why is this token with Steward Jia?"

"Clearly, this is a backup plan. If Steward Jia fails to frame the expedition, the blame can be shifted to the assassin, and some details can be overlooked."

Elder Yue sighed, "Having spent so many years with Gong Huanyu, no one can see through what he's up to."
