Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 164: Demons and Monsters 8

Meng Qiqi was lying on the bed, fiddling with the jade pendant in her hand, looking at every detail of the entrance to the back mountain recorded in the jade pendant.

She planned to quietly follow them into the back mountain when Yun Weishan followed Gong Ziyu into the back mountain.

Now, the people in the palace are busy dealing with Elder Yue's affairs, and Gong Ziyu has also returned from the back mountain.

The next evening, in the pharmacy, Gong Yuanzheng was preparing medicinal materials when he noticed someone coming to the pharmacy. He hid himself first. He wanted to see who it was.

Yun Weishan took a small lantern and quietly entered the pharmacy, looking for cold-natured medicinal herbs.

Yun Weishan was concentrating on looking for medicinal herbs and did not notice Gong Yuanzheng.

Gong Yuanzheng saw Yun Weishan acting suspiciously and decided that there was something wrong with her, so he showed up and questioned her.

"What are you doing in the pharmacy so late?" Gong Yuanzheng said in a cold tone and with sharp eyes.

Yun Weishan was startled, turned around and saw Gong Yuanzheng, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

"I... I came to find some herbs to dispel the cold." Yun Weishan tried to explain.

"Cold medicinal herbs? What do you want to do with cold medicinal herbs? Are you going to poison? Are you going to hurt people?" Gong Yuanzheng stepped closer and questioned.

"Of course not. I just came to the pharmacy to get herbs according to Zhiren's order." Yun Weishan said after thinking for a moment after calming down.

Just then, a noise came from outside, interrupting their conversation.

Gong Yuanzheng frowned and looked outside the door.

Yun Weishan took the opportunity to say, "It was really Feng Zhiren's order that I came to the pharmacy to look for herbs."

Gong Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, let Yun Weishan go for the time being, and decided to go out and check the situation first.

Yun Weishan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up the herbs he had found, and followed Gong Yuanzheng out of the pharmacy.

At this time, Gong Ziyu was pulled by Jin Zhong, and the two were arguing in the corridor.

"Gong Yuanzheng, what's wrong with me taking some medicinal herbs from you? Just let Yun Weishan go!" Gong Ziyu glared at Gong Yuanzheng.

"How dare you be so rude to the Palace Master." Jin Zhong scolded.

"Palace Master? He is just the Palace Master of Zheng Palace, but I am the swordsman of the palace gate." Gong Ziyu retorted.

"Gong Ziyu, you are still acting like a troublemaker. Take your people away from here quickly." Gong Yuanzheng said impatiently.

"I won't leave unless you release Yun Weishan. I will definitely pass the trial, and then you will have to admit that I am the Blade Wielder." Gong Ziyu said stubbornly.

"You..." Gong Yuanzheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Just then, Yun Weishan came over from behind. She looked at Gong Ziyu with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Yun Weishan, how are you? Are you hurt?" Gong Ziyu said worriedly.

Yun Weishan looked at Gong Ziyu, then at Gong Yuanzheng, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Zhiren, I just came to Zhenggong's pharmacy to get some herbs."

"She is the only one who admits that you are the Blade Bearer." Gong Yuanzheng sneered.

"So what? I will definitely convince you and make you admit that I am the Blade Wielder. Just wait and see!" Gong Ziyu said unwillingly.

"That's enough!" Gong Yuanzheng listened to Gong Ziyu's confident look and shouted, "Gong Ziyu, if you continue to act recklessly in Zheng Palace, don't blame me for being rude."

Gong Ziyu gritted his teeth and finally left Zheng Palace with Yun Weishan.

Gong Yuanzheng turned and went to Meng Qiqi's room, wanting to see how she was doing physically, but the maid told him that Miss Meng had already gone to bed, so he was turned away.

Helplessly, he could only find another opportunity tomorrow to check on her physical condition.

On the way to the Corner Palace, Gong Yuanzheng thought to himself that the situation was becoming increasingly complicated. Wu Feng was eyeing the palace gate, and everyone in the palace had their own thoughts... It seemed that it would take some effort to defend the palace gate.

Gong Yuanzheng came to Jiao Palace and talked with his brother Gong Shangjiao about what had just happened.

"Why did Yun Weishan come to Zheng Palace to get cold medicinal herbs?" Gong Yuanzheng asked.

Gong Shangjiao pondered for a moment and replied, "I've never heard that she's proficient in medicine. Perhaps it's about Gong Ziyu who passed the trial in the back mountain. However, there are doubts about her identity. You and I must pay more attention."

Gong Yuanzheng nodded, but he couldn't help but think of Meng Qiqi in his heart: "Brother, I don't know when Miss Meng's injury will be healed. Now Wufeng is making frequent moves, and I always feel a little uneasy."

Gong Shangjiao patted his shoulder and said soothingly, "Don't worry too much. The two of us brothers will do our utmost to protect the palace gate. Besides, there are people in the back mountain. They will not ignore any incident at the palace gate."

Gong Yuanzheng frowned slightly. "I hope so. By the way, brother, I plan to strengthen the guards of Zheng Palace in the near future to prevent any accidents."

"Well, that's a very appropriate move." Gong Shangjiao agreed. "Also, we need to find out Wu Feng's movements as soon as possible so we can respond in advance."

As they were talking, they suddenly noticed someone approaching and stopped talking.

Gong Yuanzheng looked towards the door and saw Shangguan Qian walking in.

Seeing that it was Shangguan Qian, Gong Yuanzheng said sarcastically, "It's so late, Shangguan Qian, what do you want to talk to my brother about?"

Shangguan Qian smiled and said, "I just heard you talking about Miss Meng's injury, so I came over to see if there's anything I can do to help."

Gong Shangjiao's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Why is Miss Shangguan so concerned about Miss Meng? However, Miss Meng has received treatment and should recover soon."

Shangguan Qian nodded, then looked at Gong Yuanzheng and said, "When I came in just now, I heard you say that you wanted to strengthen the guards in Zheng Palace. Why is it so sudden?"

Gong Yuanzheng smiled slightly and said, "What do I want to do? It has nothing to do with you."

Shangguan Qian chuckled and said, "Master Zheng, have you forgotten that I am also a member of Jiao Palace? Master Zheng is Master Jiao's younger brother. The safety of Zheng Palace is closely related to me, so I naturally have the right to ask about it."

Gong Yuanzheng sneered, "You're quite good at flattering yourself. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Shangguan Qian feigned grievance and said, "Mr. Zheng, what are you talking about? I'm just concerned about the safety of the Zheng Palace. Is that wrong?"

Gong Yuanzheng was about to retort when Gong Shangjiao spoke up, "Alright, both of you, stop arguing. Strengthening the guards at Zheng Palace is imperative. If Miss Shangguan has any good suggestions, please share them."

Shangguan Qian's eyes flashed with pride as she said, "I think we can increase the number and frequency of patrols, and also set up some traps and mechanisms in the Zheng Palace to prevent enemy invasion."

Gong Shangjiao nodded and said, "Miss Shangguan's words make sense. These measures can indeed enhance the defense capabilities of the Zheng Palace. Yuanzheng, what do you think?"

Although Gong Yuanzheng was not convinced, he had to admit that Shangguan Qian's proposal was feasible, so he said, "Then let's do as my brother wishes."
