Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Zheng Nanyi lowered his head and kept silent.

Seeing her attitude, Gong Yunzheng staggered back in fear, and Gong Yuanzheng quickly supported her unstable body.

"Sister?" The boy's eyes were filled with worry as he glared at Zheng Nanyi: "What did you do to my sister?!"

Gong Yunzheng seemed not to hear. She frowned and looked at Zheng Nanyiyi, who was grieving but still holding on to something, as if she saw a flood or a beast.

Is Zheng Nanyi doing this for love?

She actually... did it for love? !

Even though the entire Zheng family might have been murdered by Wu Feng, she remained unmoved? Or was she thinking that since her family was in danger, she couldn't let anything happen to her loved ones?

Gong Yunzheng had lived in the palace gate deep in the Jiuchen Valley since she was a child and had never even left the palace gate. She had been burdened with a blood feud since she was a child. Naturally, she had never been exposed to love in the palace gate with a strict hierarchy where everyone except the master was a servant, and she did not understand what love was.

Now, suddenly realizing that someone could disregard the life of their entire family and themselves for love, she suddenly realized how powerful the word love is.

One person falls in love and the family is destroyed!

Love can be so terrifying...

For the first time, she felt that there was something out of her control, and it was lurking beside her, dormant in the dark, staring at the palace gate with a covetous eye, ready to swallow it up at any time and let the family fall into the abyss, beyond redemption!

Realizing this, Gong Yunzheng suddenly turned around and walked out. Her breathing was unstable and her steps were weak and disorderly, but she was running at her fastest speed, as if escaping.

My sister is not in the right state.

After glaring at Zheng Nanyiyi, who was keeping her head down and silent, Gong Yuanzheng caught up with his sister in a few steps and protected her.

It was not until he walked out of the dungeon and inhaled the cool air outside into his lungs that Gong Yunzheng felt a chill in his body and suddenly bent over and started coughing.

She covered her mouth and coughed violently, and her already fair face became even paler.

"Sister!" Gong Yuanzheng supported her with one hand and stroked her back with the other, his eyes red with anxiety.

"Cough cough cough... I... cough cough cough cough... I'm fine..."

Holding back the itch in his throat, Gong Yunzheng tightened his grip on his brother's arm. His face was pale, and the corners of his eyes were stained crimson.

She had calmed down by now.

"Sister? How are you? What happened in the dungeon just now?"

Just as he caught his breath, Gong Yunzheng saw his brother's concerned face.

When talking about what happened in the dungeon just now, the boy's face turned cold and hard, and he wished he could go back and give Zheng Nanyiyi a hard time.

"I..." Gong Yunzheng didn't know how to start, and finally could only carefully warn his brother: "Yuanzheng, remember, if you meet a woman in the future, don't give your heart to her easily."

"Don't worry, sister, I won't." So it was because of this. When it came to love, the boy was dismissive. "My brother also told me that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is."

After saying this, his eyes fell on Gong Yunzheng, and the corners of his lips curled up beautifully: "Except my sister."

"Master Zheng, Second Miss."

Just as Gong Yunzheng was about to say something else, a green jade guard walked up to the two of them and saluted, "Sword in hand, I welcome you, Master Zheng."

Gong Yunzheng stood up straight: "You go ahead, I just want to take a walk by myself."

Gong Yunzheng: "Well, I'll come back to have dinner with my sister in the evening."

Gong Yuanzheng followed the Green Jade Guard to the Blade Hall. Gong Yunzheng, who stayed where he was, looked thoughtfully in the direction of the female guest house.

She was certain there were still bladeless assassins hiding among the potential brides.

She had always been confident about her plan, but now she was afraid... afraid that her brothers would really fall in love with the Bladeless Assassin.

If that day really comes, it will probably be the beginning of a disaster for the palace.

Zi Yu gave her precious mask to her bride...

Gong Yunzheng instructed Qinglan, "Go and ask the potential brides what happened to them during their escape last night. The more details the better."

"Yes." Qinglan saluted with a knife and walked towards the female guest house.

In the ladies' quarters, under the curious and scrutinizing gazes of the brides-to-be, and listening to the whispers coming from behind her, Gong Ziyu deeply understood what Gong Yuanzheng meant by coming in as a conspicuous bag.

He found Yun Weishan's room.

Unlike her cold appearance, Yun Weishan made people feel that she was a gentle and considerate beautiful woman as soon as she opened her mouth. Her eyes as clear as a deer glanced at Gong Ziyu, and without waiting for him to speak, she turned back, took out Gong Ziyu's mask and returned it to him.

Holding his precious mask, under Yun Weishan's curious gaze, Gong Ziyu opened up. On the surface, the two were talking about masks, but in fact, he felt like he was having a heart-to-heart talk with the person in front of him.

The woman in front of him was as dignified and gentle as Sister Ayun, but unlike Sister Ayun, she sometimes made him cautious for fear of saying the wrong thing.

It's an amazing feeling.

He couldn't help but talk to her a few more words, and even told a harmless joke.

Until the maid brought Angelica dahurica and golden grass tea.

Gong Ziyu was perceptive and discovered that the taste of this bowl of Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea was different from the previous one.

He picked up the Angelica Dahurica Golden Herb Tea and asked, under Yun Weishan's puzzled gaze, "Are all the brides taking this herbal tea?"

Gong Ziyu is still very intimidating when he acts like a young master.

The maid answered truthfully, "Yes, it was sent by the infirmary this morning."

Gong Ziyu thought for a moment and then asked, "What about Sister Ayun? Is she taking this too?"

The second young lady from the palace? Yun Weishan looked inconspicuously at the side room where things were being moved out. The second young lady from the palace had moved out of the women's guest house this morning.

He didn't even meet these potential brides.

The maid shook her head: "The second young lady didn't drink this batch of medicine. It was the medicine package that Master Zheng brought over personally and gave to Mammy."

Gong Ziyu stared at the black medicinal tea in the porcelain bowl thoughtfully.

The formula of the Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea taken by the brides-to-be had been changed, but Sister Ayun drank the Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea brought by Gong Yuanzheng himself, so it was naturally separated from the medicinal tea taken by the brides.

Gong Yuanzheng would never test the medicine on Sister Ayun, so... could it be that he wants to test the medicine on the bride-to-be?

Thinking of this, Gong Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Master Yu?" Yun Weishan asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

"It's nothing, just a few rat droppings fell in here." Gong Ziyu had the idea of teasing the girl, and sure enough, he saw the girl opposite him looking embarrassed and timid.

He turned and left with the Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea.

Shangguan Qian, who was standing on the second floor, saw this scene.

Gong Yunzheng had just moved out of the women's guesthouse, and Gong Ziyu has now taken away Yun Weishan's medicinal tea. Shangguan Qian suspected that there was something wrong with the Baizhi Jincao tea, but at the insistence of the maid, she had no choice but to take the bowl and drink it all.
