Zhang Xueming was still paying close attention to the medication reactions of the ordinary bride candidates and the Wufeng bride candidate. Gong Yuanzheng seized the opportunity and jumped up.

Just as his knife was about to chop off Gong Ziyu's head, Jin Fan suddenly dodged in front of Gong Ziyu, turned the handle of the knife towards Gong Yuanzheng's abdomen, and lightly used his internal force to shock Gong Yuanzheng back repeatedly.

Gong Yuanzheng steadied himself, looked at Jin Fan in doubt and surprise, and stopped attacking.

Gong Ziyu, who was able to catch his breath, suddenly remembered that Gong Yuanzheng had just thrown poison smoke bombs at the bride candidates.

He was shocked and turned around to look at where Zhang Xueming was before.

Fortunately, she was still standing there, her posture had not changed, and she seemed unaffected.

It's just that the other potential brides were apparently poisoned.

They scattered, some fell to the ground, some leaned against the wall unconscious, some sat crookedly on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, and occasionally someone groaned in pain.

There are only a few people who are conscious.

Gong Ziyu felt relieved but also felt angry, her face turned red with anger.

He glared at Gong Yuanzheng and said angrily, "Gong Yuanzheng, are you crazy? They are all brides to be chosen. You are being reckless!"

Gong Yuanzheng curled his lips and sneered, not hiding his contempt and ridicule for him at all: "Tsk tsk, it turns out that Master Yu is the most compassionate and considerate of women, but there is a Wufeng spy among them, so they should all be put to death."

The last four words were spoken word by word, expressing their inexpressible cruelty.

He raised his eyes and took in the miserable state of the brides to be chosen. There was no wavering in his eyes, as if he was looking at a group of dead people: "They have been poisoned. Without my antidote, they will just wait to die."

When the few bride candidates who had not yet fallen into coma heard what Gong Yuanzheng said, they all showed desperate expressions and cried continuously.

Gong Yuanzheng no longer paid attention to them and only stared at Zhang Xueming, who was standing in the corner diagonally opposite him like a stone sculpture. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and the curve of his lips became bigger and bigger, like a child who had found a new toy.

Gong Ziyu followed his gaze and found that he was staring at Zhang Xueming. He was shocked and without thinking too much, he stepped on the ground and flew over. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhang Xueming.

He didn't know why Zhang Xueming was not poisoned. Maybe it was because of her strong internal strength, or maybe it was some other reason, but he didn't have time to delve into it, nor did he want to.

He only knew that Zhang Xueming never concealed her uniqueness. She might not have come to the palace simply to get married and have children, but she was definitely not a bladeless assassin.

Even if all the ten potential brides were, she wouldn't be one.

With his back to everyone and no brides to be chosen on either side able to see his movements, Gong Ziyu quickly took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom, poured out a pill and passed it to Zhang Xueming's mouth, saying softly, "This is an antidote. Take it first, just in case."

Fearing that she might misunderstand, Gong Ziyu quickly explained: "I only have one pill of this medicine left. It can both detoxify and prevent poison. Gong Yuanzheng is a man with a high opinion of himself and a bad temper. If he sees that you are not poisoned, he will definitely attack you again. You..."

Zhang Xueming was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand to take the medicine, covered his mouth with his sleeve and pretended to swallow it, but actually threw it into the storage space.

Medicine cannot be taken without any care, but she accepted his kindness.

Zhang Xueming did not salute this time. She only slightly curved her red lips and spoke softly, "Thank you, Master Yu."

Gong Ziyu's face flushed, but fortunately she remembered that now was not the right time to let her thoughts run wild. She coughed dryly and said, "Second Miss Zheng, please come with me to Jin Fan's place first, in case Gong Yuanzheng goes crazy and doesn't care about anything."

He turned around and used his tall figure to block Zhang Xueming completely.

Just like the road from the dungeon to the secret passage, he walked in front and Zhang Xueming followed behind.

He knew that he could see her if he turned around, just three steps away, so there was no need for words, and he felt at ease.
