The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

Gong Zishang's gaze fell on Gong Yuanzheng, just as she had thought.

Gong Yuanzheng smiled and stared intently at the girl in the painting.

Gong Zishang couldn't help but tease Gong Yuanzheng, "It seems that younger brother Yuanzheng can't wait to marry his sister-in-law."

"Shangjiao, you'd better hurry up and help our brother Yuanzheng find this girl as soon as possible."

Gong Yuanzheng immediately looked intently at Gong Shangjiao.

Gong Shangjiao smiled faintly, "Yesterday, I sent a message by carrier pigeon to the thirteenth prince, agreeing to this marriage alliance."

"Once the affairs at the palace are settled, I will set off for the capital."

Gong Yuanzheng was eager to try, "Brother, I'll go with you!"

Gong Shangjiao immediately shook his head and refused without hesitation, "No, Yuanzheng, Wufeng Bumi, you cannot leave the palace gates."

Gong Yuanzheng, however, couldn't wait to see his future wife.

"Brother, my poison is very potent; Wu Feng can't harm me!"

Gong Shangjiao naturally knew how potent Gong Yuanzheng's poison was, but he dared not gamble. Now, his only family member was his younger brother Yuanzheng, and he absolutely could not let him be put in danger.

But when he met his younger brother's eager and impatient gaze, Miyazaki sighed inwardly.

"Yuanzheng, why don't you first master the martial arts in the back mountain? Then I'll feel more at ease when you leave the palace."

Xue Zhongzi also spoke up at the right time, "After I finish interrogating the people from Yu Palace and the three elders, I will give you the martial arts manuals from the back mountain."

From Zhuo Mei's words, they already knew that Wu Feng's martial arts were specifically designed to target the palace gates.

Since that's the case, there's no need for them to dwell on whether or not to participate in the trial; strengthening their own power is the most important thing.

Even Yukiko herself plans to begin practicing the Wind Palace's secret manual.

Gong Yuanzheng immediately nodded in agreement. What his brother said made sense; he had acted somewhat impulsively.

If he falls into Wu Feng's hands because he is less skilled, he will not only be unable to see Yue'er, but will also cause trouble for his brother.

It's better to strengthen yourself first.

Gong Shangjiao smiled with satisfaction. He knew that his younger brother Yuanzheng was the most sensible.

Moreover, he knew how to comfort his younger brother, “Yuanzheng, if we clear out all the Wufeng in the valley within these few months, Miss Lin will be much safer here.”

Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up. Yes, how come he hadn't thought of that? He had to find all the Wufeng stones in the valley before Yue'er arrived!

Gong Shangjiao continued, "In the future, we will definitely leave the palace. If you learn the martial arts in the back mountain, you will be able to protect Miss Lin better in the future."

Yukishige listened thoughtfully, almost forgetting that everyone would have to leave the palace in the future.

His gaze shifted to Gong Zishang. The outside world was definitely more dangerous than the palace gate, and Zhi Ren's martial arts skills were somewhat lacking. Why not let her practice some as well?

Gong Zishang was initially surprised that Gong Yuanzheng was so easy to coax, but when she noticed Xue Zhongzi's gaze, she miraculously understood what he meant.

With a slight smile, Gong Zishang successfully found a perfect excuse for herself.

"I need to forge the newest weapon to fight Wufeng in the future. My weapon, combined with the poison from my brother who went on expedition, will be the Palace Gate's greatest weapon."

Wuming has been lurking in the palace for decades, and it is estimated that the palace's weapons and poisons have been stolen by Wufeng.

The research into more powerful weapons and poisons is of paramount importance.

Yuki nods, putting aside her thoughts.

The scroll in the sky has closed.

Gong Zishang looked at the absent-minded young master Hua and smiled brightly.

"Young Master Hua, come with me to the dungeon."

Young Master Hua shuddered, sensing the unyielding look in Gong Zishang's eyes. He pursed his lips tightly and followed behind her.

Gong Huanyu crossed her arms and looked at Gong Yuanzheng, "I will handle the people from Yu Palace, but I will leave Mingwu Ji and Gong Hongyu to you, how about that?"

Gong Yuanzheng did not object, and nimbly leaped up, shouting, "Let's go!"

The answers they sought were all obtained in less than an hour.

When the truth from ten years ago was laid bare before him, Gong Liushang was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, wishing he could kill Gong Hongyu with his own hands.

He, along with the deceased masters of Jiao Palace and Zheng Palace, all grew up with Gong Hongyu.

They didn't even realize that Gong Hongyu was such a selfish and hypocritical villain!

They used the flesh and blood of the three palaces to establish their position as wielders of the blade.

Then there's the assassin Wufeng, who was favored by Gong Hongyu and whose status was no different from that of Madam Yu Gong.

Gong Liushang's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Mingwu Ji was killed by Gong Yuanzheng. Gong Hongyu was no longer worthy to be the swordsman of the palace. Gong Shangjiao did not hesitate and ordered Gong Hongyu to be executed the day after he learned the truth.

He values ​​the bloodline of the imperial family, but he will never tolerate murderers who deliberately kill their own relatives.

But before the men sent by Gong Shangjiao even reached the dungeon, Gong Liushang made his move first.

He sent his trusted confidants to strangle Gong Hongyu in front of the three elders.

Gong Zishang and Hua Gongzi, who were interrogating the three elders, were fortunate enough to witness everything.

Gong Zishang: Her father actually has such a cruel side.

Young Master Hua: Although...but...okay, Gong Hongyu really deserves to die. If he were the Palace Master of Liushang Palace, he might have done it himself.

The Moon Elder was as if he had lost his parents, and his whole being instantly became listless.

Elder Xue was initially reluctant to say much about the matter concerning the Wind Palace and the Strange People.

Seeing this, his face turned ashen, and he immediately confessed everything.

At his son's urging, Elder Hua told Young Master Hua everything before Gong Hongyu died.

After learning the whole truth, Gong Shangjiao sent Elder Hua back to the Flower Palace. Every day, Elder Hua did only one thing: work with Young Master Hua to develop the latest weapons.

As for the listless Elder Yue, the heartbroken Elder Xue, and Young Master Yue, who was never mentioned in the painting, let them continue to stay in the dungeon.

For the next few days, the scroll was never opened; it simply hung quietly in the air.

The first thing Gong Yuanzheng did every morning was to look at the celestial scroll.

Gong Shangjiao quickly left the palace gates. The most important things at present were to form a marriage alliance with the court and eliminate Wufeng. He could not delay any longer.

Gong Huanyu willingly assisted Gong Zishang in handling various affairs.

Gong Hongyu is a lazy and indolent person. Over the years, he has handled almost all the affairs of the Gong family.

Now he is wholeheartedly teaching Gong Zishang, and Gong Zishang quickly became adept at handling all situations.

Gong Yuanzheng has already started practicing the back mountain techniques, and Xue Gongzi is also practicing the Moon Palace and Flower Palace techniques together.

Gong Shangjiao is not at the palace gate, but Gong Huanyu has also studied it and can fully instruct Gong Yuanzheng and Xue Gongzi.

After interrogating the servants and guards of the Feather Palace countless times, Gong Huanyu finally confirmed their innocence.

Mingwu Ji has been away from Wufeng for so long, yet Wufeng still manages to obtain information from the palace gates every time. That means it must be someone else from the palace gates who leaked the information.

After discussion, they turned their attention to Gong Ziyu.

Within the palace gates, only the masters of each palace have access to these core secrets.

Of all these people, only Gong Ziyu had the most contact with the Old Dust Valley.

Gong Huanyu, as expected of the most meticulous person in the original drama, immediately focused his gaze on the purple-clad woman from Wanhua Tower.

After several days of surveillance, Gong Huanyu not only confirmed Zi Yi's identity, but also discovered many of Wufeng's strongholds in the valley.

When Gong Zishang learned the truth, he broke out in a cold sweat.

In order to pursue Jin Fan, she went to Wan Hua Lou many times and spent time alone with that woman in purple more than once.

If Ziyi had intended to kill her back then, she wouldn't have had any chance to resist.

"Brother, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find so many of Wufeng's strongholds."

Indeed, without Gong Huanyu's skills, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep an eye on Ziyi.

That woman's martial arts skills are even better than those of the bodyguard Hongyu.

Gong Huanyu simply smiled faintly, "If you really want to thank me, just like in the painting, help me rebuild the Lonely Mountain Sect."

Gong Zishang smiled, "That's for sure!"

"Brother, now that we know their secret, what should we do?"

Gong Huanyu had already formulated a plan in her heart. Now was a crucial time for a marriage alliance with the imperial court, and she couldn't afford any mishaps.

If the secret of the marriage alliance were to be revealed, the pressure on the palace would likely be even greater.

Gong Ziyu is currently in the dungeon and hasn't been to the Wan Hua Lou for several days. Judging from the purple-clad woman's appearance, she has clearly become suspicious.

He looked at Gong Zishang and said, "Choose a bride in advance."

Gong Zishang was no fool and immediately understood Gong Huanyu's plan.

Please enter the urn.

Since the palace gates couldn't infiltrate Wufeng, they decided to turn a few of Wufeng's assassins against them.

The moment the bride enters the palace gates is the day she is captured.

Meanwhile, Gong Yuanzheng, who was practicing his martial arts, received the latest news from Gong Shangjiao.

After several days of investigation, Miyazaki has confirmed the identities of his future siblings.

Lin Qingyue, the eldest daughter of the Salt Commissioner.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at the portrait beside him, his heart pounding, and he felt inexplicably nervous.

He gripped the portrait tightly and slowly unfolded it.

The girl on the drawing paper smiled sweetly, and compared to the girl in the sky painting, she seemed a little more delicate, which made Gong Yuanzheng's heart pound wildly.

The burning desire in his eyes was undisguised; the veins on his hand gripping the portrait bulged, yet he carefully released it, as if afraid of damaging the portrait in the slightest.

Yue'er, this is his Yue'er. She's coming to the palace gates soon, and she's about to become his wife.
