Outside the door, Jin Fu had not yet finished his words when Gong Yuanzheng flashed out of the temporary tea room and rushed into the small compartment.

It scared Gong Shangjiao and also scared Zhang Xueming, who had just released his spiritual sense.

Gong Yuanzheng stood beside the bed, bent down and touched Zhang Xueming's left wrist.

As usual, when the fingertips were about to touch Zhang Xueming's skin, they were bounced away by her internal force.

Gong Yuanzheng was depressed for a moment, then he straightened up, stared at her blankly for a few seconds, then turned and walked out of the cubicle.

"I was thinking maybe she'd woken up too." He smiled awkwardly at Gong Shangjiao, "It seems I was overthinking."

Gong Shangjiao pressed hard on the right side of his forehead. It seemed that he had not hit him hard enough before. After only a few hours, his legs and feet were so nimble.

Without looking at Gong Yuanzheng's worthless appearance, nor wondering whether the head of the Zheng family was laughing like crazy in his heart, he pulled his stupid brother to the desk and taught him the complete set of response procedures and speeches that he had prepared in advance for the prospective bride, and asked him to memorize them quickly.

Gong Yuanzheng had just made another mistake, so he didn't have the nerve to ask any questions.

Even if Gong Shangjiao asked him to temporarily take the blame for administering the drugs and take all the credit for the palace, he only looked at Gong Shangjiao hesitantly and nodded in agreement obediently.

He would do whatever his brother said, because his brother would not harm him anyway.

He had a good memory, and he could roughly repeat it after Gong Shangjiao only said it once.

After checking and filling in the gaps to deepen his memory, a quarter of an hour later, he took the order and went out in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

It was past midnight and the seven brides-to-be woke up one after another.

Gong Yuanzheng strictly followed Gong Shangjiao's instructions and ordered two old doctors with white hair and beards to follow him, and check the pulse of the awakened brides in each ward.

Before entering the room to take a pulse, one must first ask the maid whether the screen is erected, the curtains are hung, and the bride to be chosen is ready. Only then can one enter.

After entering the room, he first introduced his identity, kept his eyes down, did not look around, and did not look at the person behind the curtain. He waited for the bride to stretch out her hand from behind the curtain. The maid covered the other person's wrist with a plain white silk handkerchief before sitting down to take her pulse.

After the three of them took turns to feel each other's pulse and compared their pulse conditions, Gong Yuanzheng, the master of the Zheng Palace, made the final decision and informed them of the diagnosis results.

Afterwards, Gong Yuanzheng came forward to sincerely apologize and "frankly admitted" that everything that happened that day was a "bride trial" set by Gongmen Zhiren to observe their performance in unexpected situations.

But later, Gongmen suddenly received news that there was an invisible assassin mixed in the team of brides to be selected. Fearing that the invisible assassin would attack innocent people, Gong Yuanzheng had no choice but to step in and give them the top-grade tonic he had just developed, under the pretext of poisoning them.

Because this is a new drug, and we are afraid that unexpected results may occur due to different physical conditions, we have to ask them to stay in the clinic for another night.

Now all the assassins without a sharp edge have been caught, and the palace masters of the Jiao Zheng Palace are both in charge of the clinic. There are hundreds of guards on duty inside and outside the clinic. They are asked not to worry about their safety, and someone from the women's courtyard will come to pick them up tomorrow and take them to the women's courtyard to stay.

Finally, he did not forget to instruct the maid to go to the front yard to get the hot water porridge and rice sent from the Zheng Palace kitchen.

The handsome young man who was young, promising and held a high position in the palace used a series of moves, and none of the brides to be chosen was not confused.

The spoiled young ladies at home were originally full of resentment about the "entry shock package" at the palace, but not long after waking up, they were surprised to find that their bodies became unusually relaxed, their limbs stretched, their fists were strong, their skin was smooth, delicate and translucent, and several shades whiter than before - it was obvious that they had gained a huge benefit.

By then, no one could remember the rude and disrespectful treatment at the palace gate.

At this moment, from a series of polite and considerate arrangements made by the two brothers Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng, they clearly felt the palace's care and love for them, as well as the importance that the palace attached to the forces behind them, and they were in a very good mood.

No matter what Gong Yuanzheng or the maids said, they all smiled and nodded.

Go to the toilet, wash, change clothes, do some simple make-up, eat, and then...

I want a mirror! I want a mirror! I want a mirror!

The maids were in a good mood facing the guests who were fair, beautiful and easy to serve. They were busy in and out with relaxed and happy smiles on their faces.

Now, the guest wants a mirror?

Find, find, find!

Suddenly, the clinic became lively and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Although the maids walking back and forth in the corridor remained silent, the cheerful feeling could still be seen from their relaxed body language and heard from their brisk footsteps.

Gong Yuanzheng was stunned.

He hasn't returned to the ward where Zhang Xueming is.

Curious about the use of what Gong Shangjiao had told him to do, and because there were no trees to hide behind, he walked slowly to the corridor about five or six feet away from where he could clearly see the seven wards, and he deliberately chose a pillar for cover.

This place is considered a blind spot and few people pass by, but in fact, the Huang Yu servants who are secretly watching him in the trees outside the wall can see him.

He didn't know someone was watching him. In the dark, the tall and thin boy hid behind the pillar, half-turned, with his hands behind his back, and looked at the maids coming in and out, only to find that their joy came inexplicably.

The loyal Huang Yu servants finally saw a new sight and peeked among the branches and leaves. They also found it quite strange that the Lord of Zheng Palace was hiding in his own territory.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out why. He shook his head and left.

Although the topaz servants couldn't figure out what Gong Yuanzheng was doing, the novelty of the scene was gone, and they could only shrink back into the dense branches and leaves in frustration, secretly hoping that the crisis would pass quickly. Lifting the stone lock all day was more interesting than squatting on the tree all day.

Gong Yuanzheng didn't want to go back for the time being. Since he woke up today, he had been beaten up and embarrassed in front of his brother countless times. Even so, he had to be thankful that Zhang Xueming didn't wake up, otherwise...

The young man pursed his lips, put his hands behind his back, and walked into the injury room where Gong Ziyu and Jin Fan were staying.

The person wasn't awake yet, and no one responded when he tried to find fault. He felt bored, so he turned out again.

After thinking about it, he went to the temporary consultation room where the doctors in the clinic were and looked through all the medical records. He didn't curse at anyone, and after reading them, he went to the pharmacy.

The pharmacy of the clinic has three entrances. Each compartment has a medicine bowl that takes up the entire wall. Countless small drawers are neatly arranged, and books and medicinal materials are classified and placed in labeled drawers.

Gong Yuanzheng picked up a lantern placed by the door and walked into the small hall where the records of medicinal materials coming in and out and books borrowing were kept. He lit the lamp on the desk, found this month's book and flipped through it by the light.

Among the records of the use of medicinal materials yesterday, one entry caught his attention: someone used Tripterygium wilfordii, Rhubarb, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Aconiti Lateralis, Herba Lysimachiae… (This is just nonsense. Lao Liu does not understand Chinese medicine, so there is no need to verify it.)

The signature is Jin Yi, the red jade servant who wields the sword of Gong Hongyu.

Gong Yuanzheng frowned. There was only one formula that could be made by combining those herbs together, and that was the power-dispersing decoction he had researched two years ago.

This decoction looks powerful, but it is not very practical and will not work if you don't take it orally.

Apart from the captured bladeless assassins in the dungeon, do we really expect those lively people outside the palace gate to drink it obediently?

The dosage is not enough. After drinking it, at most your internal energy will be stagnant, and the purpose of dispersing the energy cannot be achieved.

Therefore, after filing it in the Wanxiang Pavilion, he put it aside and did not study it in depth. Why would the Red Jade Servant who wields the blade take away the medicinal materials that can be used to make the power-dispersing decoction during such a sensitive period, and the amount is enough for two people?

The more Gong Yuanzheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He turned off the lamp on the table, carried the lantern and walked out of the pharmacy, hurrying towards the ward. He didn't care that he would limp if he walked too fast, as he was afraid that he would not be able to tell Gong Shangjiao the news in time.
