Gong Yuanzheng's body trembled violently. Yes! Before the men at the Palace Gate stronghold died, they sent in intelligence that an assassin from Wufeng had infiltrated the brides.

If we can send one, we can send two or three. And this Zheng Nanyiyi looks like she jumped out by herself.

No, I must discuss this matter with my brother.

Gong Yuanzheng called the guard beside him and signaled him to open the cell door. Jiu Ning was wearing a red wedding dress, with two hairpins hanging close to her face, swaying with every step.

The more he looked at that beautiful face, the more familiar it seemed to him. However, he had never left the palace and was not supposed to know people from outside.

"Take him to the guest house and let Madam Fu make good arrangements."

The cell door was opened. Jiu Ning lifted her foot and saw that her shoes were covered in mud. Her face wrinkled involuntarily. Then she turned around and glared at Gong Yuanzheng with gritted teeth.

"Report! Master Zheng, Master Zhiren has ordered that Miss Jiang Jiuning be sent back to the guest house and treated well. Do not be rude to her."

Gong Yuanzheng nodded, and when he turned around to look, a figure suddenly rushed into his arms and jumped on him. He subconsciously caught the person.

"I told you to put me in the dungeon," snap.

"Dare to let me try the medicine," snap.

"Let you interrogate me."

Pa pa pa, Jiuning jumped on him and greeted him with his little fists.

"I...I...you...come down..."

Gong Yuanzheng kept dodging as he was being hit, and he didn't dare to throw the man to the ground. His intuition told him that if he did so, the consequences would be more serious.

Jiu Ning had beaten enough and vented his anger, but he did not get off Gong Yuanzheng's body. Instead, he took off his dirty shoes and lay directly on him.

"You...have no shame..."

Gong Yuanzheng was beaten and hugged. His face was red, like a cooked shrimp still steaming.

"Who told you to lock me up without explanation, in such a dirty place, and even give me some drug powder..."

Jiu Ning kept listing his crimes in his ear, making Gong Yuanzheng feel that he had committed an unforgivable crime.

Then he remembered that the other party seemed to have been poisoned by his powder and had not yet drunk the detoxifying Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea.

As he spoke, he held the person with one hand and grabbed Jiuning's wrist with the other, examining it carefully.

But there was no trace on the white wrist, and the pulse was stable, indicating that there was no poisoning.

"Have you tried Angelica dahurica tea?"

"What it is?"

The two of them were talking very close to each other, and the hot air hitting Gong Yuanzheng's face made him even more uncomfortable and his mind was a little confused.

"No, how did you detoxify?"

Jiuning tilted his little head, raised his eyebrows, and raised his chin.

"Hmph! I won't tell you..."

Gong Yuanzheng has been around medicine and poison since he was a child. He accidentally met someone who could make his poison ineffective, and his curiosity was immediately piqued.

"...Then how can you tell me?"

"Then you must satisfy me first! You must compensate me for the fright I received tonight."

Gong Yuanzheng nodded.

"I need to get my beauty sleep every day, but look at what time it is now, and you want to make me a beauty cream."

Gong Yuanzheng hesitated, his little face wrinkled.

“But...I haven’t done that...”

"I can try it out first, and if it doesn't work, you can adjust it later."

"what?"

Jiu Ning stretched out his sinful little hand and gestured in front of Gong Yuanzheng.

"What, no?"

Gong Yuanzheng had no choice but to nod.

"Why don't you come down first."

Jiuning shook her little feet and turned her face away.

"No! Master Zhiren said to send me back to the guest house properly, you are not allowed to cheat."

"But...but, if others see us, they will gossip about us."

Gong Yuanzheng looked embarrassed. He looked at the pretty face in front of him, and felt uncomfortable when he thought that she was here to choose a bride for the young master.

"So you want another man to hug me?"

Jiu Ning stared at Gong Yuanzheng seriously. As long as he dared to nod, he would change people - immediately.

"of course not!"

Alas! His brother said that women are unreasonable, especially beautiful women.

"Forget it, I won't bother with you. I'll take you home! ...Hmm! Can you get off by yourself?"

Gong Yuanzheng still wanted to fight for it, but Jiuning not only hugged his neck, but also leaned her head on it.

"I'm sleepy, don't forget my compensation."

After saying that, Jiuning closed her eyes. She had experienced a lot that day and had not had a good rest. She was really tired...

Gong Yuanzheng felt the breathing on his shoulder becoming more and more steady, but he stood there stiffly, at a loss, and could not help but smile bitterly.

He ordered someone to bring a cloak, and when the guard was about to cover Jiuning with it, Gong Yuanzheng stopped him with disgust.

"Forget it, take my cloak. This... take it back and wash it properly."

After wrapping Jiuning tightly, Gong Yuanzheng walked out quietly. He tried his best to avoid the patrolmen along the way, but there were times when he couldn't avoid them.

"who?"

Gong Yuanzheng, unable to escape, had no choice but to come out from the dark. When the guards saw the newcomer, they all saluted respectfully.

"I'm just getting some things...you guys do what you need to do."

Gong Yuanzheng avoided his gaze, and the guards did not dare to point it out, they were all holding back their laughter in their hearts...

Jiu Ning didn't know when she arrived at the guest house. When she woke up, it was already bright and there was a maid waiting outside the door.

As soon as she stood up, the maidservant brought in all the things with great discernment. It was a plain white dress without any accessories, not even the makeup she usually wore.

After she was dressed, the maid outside the door brought her a teacup.

"Miss, this is the detoxifying Angelica dahurica tea."

Looking around, she found that her residence was on the second floor of the guest house. At this time, the brides in other guest rooms were also drinking this detoxifying tea.

Jiuning took the teacup and drank it in one gulp. Two words: so bitter!

"Hey! My little ancestor, what are you doing here?"

“Let me take a look.”

Jiu Ning looked down and saw Gong Ziyu walking into the women's guest quarters in such a blatant manner, causing a commotion, but he didn't care and walked straight to Yun Weishan's room.

The two of them seemed to have telepathy. With just a glance, Yun Weishan returned to the room, took out a mask and handed it to the other party.

They expressed their concern for each other and took the Angelica dahurica and Golden Grass Tea in front of Yun Weishan before leaving.

The time for choosing a bride is approaching. At this moment, in the guest house, all the brides are standing in the hall, divided into two rows, kneeling on both sides of the room.

Everyone was dressed in plain white clothes, without any makeup, and their beauty and ugliness were displayed to everyone without any concealment.

First, the maid brought each person a cup of medicinal tea. Jiu Ning swallowed the tea with a bitter face.

Then a group of maids came with small notebooks, checked each bride and recorded her details one by one.

Finally, a group of doctors came with medicine boxes, took the pulse of each bride and kept records.

After everything was done, they did not let everyone leave. Soon, a group of maids came in, each holding a tray covered with a red cloth.
