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

The palace gates trembled once again, this time not because of the painting, but because of Young Master Yue.

Who could imagine that the dignified young master of the Moon Palace in the back mountains would fall in love with a ruthless assassin who sneaked into the pharmacy to steal medicine...

I thought it was already outrageous that Gong Hongyu had elevated Wuming's status to be almost as high as that of Lady Yigong, but you are no less so, hiding the assassin in the Moon Palace and living happily ever after.

It's hard to evaluate, really hard to evaluate.

The medicine stolen by the assassin Wufeng was unfortunately administered to the future Lady Zheng, no wonder Young Master Zheng wanted to kill Young Master Yue.

Bah! What young master? He doesn't deserve the title! He's just a traitor to the palace and a shameless scoundrel!

Elder Yue shielded her adopted son from Gong Yuanzheng's fatal blow, and died with deep disappointment in Gong Hongyu and her adopted son.

Young Master Yue's martial arts were completely crippled, and he was reduced to a test subject for medicines in the pharmacy.

Whoever develops a new poison will always be the first to test it.

Watching Gong Yuanzheng's still-angry figure as he walked away, Gong Zishang looked at Xue Zhongzi and asked, "Just now, were you really unable to stop Yuanzheng in time?"

Yuki Shigeko remained calm, her tone indifferent, "Does it matter whether it's true or false?"

Looking at the disheveled Yue Gongzi, Xue Gongzi felt a pang of pity, but even more so, he was puzzled.

"Xiaoyue, Wufeng killed so many of us ten years ago, why can you still fall in love with him?"

Holding Elder Yue's corpse, Young Master Yue looked dazed. Hearing Young Master Xue's question, he turned his eyes slightly, and just when Young Master Xue thought he wouldn't answer, he spoke up.

"A sharp blade is a sharp blade, and a lark is a lark."

One sentence dispelled all of Young Master Xue's pity. Without uttering a word, he turned and left the dungeon.

Gong Yuanzheng returned to Zheng Palace, greedily gazing at Lin Qingyue's portrait. He then took out a backup poison from the pharmacy and swallowed it without hesitation.

Upon hearing Jin Cheng's report, Gong Zishang let out a long sigh, losing all interest in enjoying the moment, and waved for the guards behind him to leave.

"Zhi Ren, what should we do? Young Master Zheng has already taken the poison. What if he takes effect? ​​How are we going to explain this to Young Master Jiao?"

Gong Zishang never expected that Gong Yuanzheng would go to such lengths for his sister Qingyue.

It's hard to imagine that the most venomous person in the palace was also the most devoted.

Seeing that Jin Cheng was almost in tears, Gong Zishang comforted him, "There's no use in worrying. Who else but Yuan Zheng can cure the poison he developed?"

"Moreover, look at Lord Lin and his family. They've been poisoned for so long and they're still fine. It's unlikely that the poison will take effect so quickly."

"From now on, you will keep a close eye on Yuanzheng. If anything seems amiss, call for a doctor immediately."

Jin Cheng steadied himself, kept Gong Zishang's words firmly in mind, bowed respectfully, and immediately ran back to the pharmacy.

Gong Zishang looked at Jin Cheng's back and sighed again, "Jin Mao, I really never understood anyone before."

Jin Mao lowered his head and remained silent.

He didn't know what to say either.

After thinking it over, Gong Zishang decided to tell Gong Shangjiao everything about it.

He raised Gong Yuanzheng, and he knows Gong Yuanzheng best. Perhaps only he knows how to appease the half-mad Gong Yuanzheng now.

On this day, as the sun rose, the people at the palace gates, as was their habit, looked up and saw the scroll above them unfurling.

"Quickly! The scroll has opened! It's opened! Go and report to Zhiren immediately!"

In an instant, the entire Old Dust Valley became lively.

Upon hearing the commotion, Gong Yuanzheng rushed outside the pharmacy.

In the painting, Jia She stands beneath the plaque of the Duke's Mansion, watching the Lin family leave.

Jia Min had already boarded the carriage.

Gong Yuanzheng and Lin Qingyue were standing next to the carriage.

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring the tassels at Lin Qingyue's temples, causing the shimmering white beads to sway slowly.

Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but reach out and straighten the hairpin.

Lin Qingyue turned to look at him, a slight smile blooming on her lips.

Gong Yuanzheng's heart softened, and he only wanted to hold Yue'er in his arms, but remembering that Jia She was still standing behind him, he stopped himself.

His voice was even softer, "Yue'er, let me help you into the carriage."

He helped Lin Qingyue into the carriage, and just as he was about to mount his own horse, he heard a gasp from behind.

"Please wait, madam!" Gong Yuanzheng immediately recognized the voice as that of the maid from the old lady's room.

What's going on? Is she planning to send a maid to stand up for her precious grandson?

Gong Yuanzheng looked at the newcomer with great interest, his eyes revealing obvious excitement.

His mother-in-law had already told him to go all out, and he only poisoned one person. He wasn't satisfied yet; his hands were itching to do it.

Yuanyang met his gaze and was startled. Her steps slowed involuntarily, but remembering the current situation in Rongxi Hall, she still braced herself and stepped forward.

"Uncle, have you seen Baoyu's jade pendant?"

"A jade pendant?" Gong Yuanzheng raised an eyebrow in surprise. What is that?

Don't wealthy and powerful families give their clothes and jewelry names that are particularly difficult to pronounce?

Why is this jade pendant so simple, straightforward, and easy to understand?

Jia She said sarcastically, "Yuanzheng, you don't know this, but Baoyu is a unicorn born with a jade in his mouth."

"The jade he was holding in his mouth was the same jade he smashed in front of you."

Gong Yuanzheng's lips twitched. Although he had just left the palace, it didn't mean he was a fool.

Is it really a good thing that such an unusual phenomenon as being born with jade in one's mouth occurred not in the royal family, but in the family of a courtier?

Moreover, judging from the size of that jade, even a newborn wouldn't be able to hold it in their mouth.

"I just casually swatted it away, how would I know where it is?" Gong Yuanzheng answered crisply.

The mandarin ducks were dumbfounded. They slapped...slapped them away!

Jia She burst out laughing, "Yuanzheng, you all go back quickly, I'll go to Rongxi Hall and talk to them!"

Having received Jia She's assurance, Gong Yuanzheng swiftly mounted his horse.

Yuanyang wanted to stop them, but when she met Jia She's ambiguous smile and thought about Gong Yuanzheng's methods, she didn't dare to.

Fine, fine. Since the master said he would talk to the old lady, let him be the one to speak first.

Anyway, Gong Yuanzheng had already asked to leave.

The Lin family's procession quickly disappeared into the street.

Jia She glanced at Yuanyang indifferently and walked directly towards Rongxi Hall.

The people inside the palace gates also became interested. Judging from the imposing manner of this lord, he was definitely looking for trouble!

Although they were somewhat disappointed that they didn't see the content they were most looking forward to, they were also very curious about how Jia She would treat his mother.

Gong Zishang, along with Da Xiaoxue, also arrived at the pharmacy.

She used to come to Gong Yuanzheng to watch with him, just to tease him.

They're now afraid the scroll will reveal some more shocking news.

It would be bad if Gong Yuanzheng was provoked and, in a fit of anger, suffered a relapse of the poison.

She had to keep a close eye on Gong Yuanzheng's changes at all times.

Jia She walked very fast, and Yuanyang had to jog to keep up.

Before even entering the courtyard, one could hear a cacophony of wailing and howling coming from inside.

Judging from the noise, you can tell that everyone is looking for jade.

A mocking smile appeared on Jia She's lips. Without waiting for the maid to report, he lifted the curtain and went into the room.

Grandmother Jia held Jia Baoyu in her arms on the soft couch, looking at her beloved grandson with a face full of tenderness, and then looked up to urge him on.

"We must search carefully, leaving no corner unchecked!"

Wang Xifeng stood to the side, anxiously directing everyone.

"Don't miss those corners and nooks; make sure you look carefully."

"Quickly move that table aside and take a good look under it!"

Noticing someone had entered, Grandmother Jia assumed it was Gong Yuanzheng and hurriedly looked up.

"Tell me quickly! Where did you put Baoyu's magical jade?"

Upon closer inspection, it was Jia She, and a hint of disgust appeared on Grandmother Jia's anxious face.

"What are you doing here?"

Jia She was already used to Grandmother Jia's attitude and didn't mind at all. His gaze swept across the room and he noticed a small hole in the wall. A smile flashed in his eyes.

But he had no intention of telling Grandmother Jia about this discovery.

He smiled slightly at Yuanyang, his malice in his eyes undisguised.

“Mother, as you know, I haven’t had a new concubine in my room for months. Your maid, Yuanyang, is very capable. Why don’t you give her to me?”
