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

Gong Zishang was also shocked by Gong Yuanzheng's reaction. She knew that Gong Yuanzheng was a madman, but she did not expect him to be so crazy that he would even dare to attack a prince.

Lin Qingyue carefully observed the changes in Gong Yuanzheng's expression. Seeing that his emotions had stabilized, she felt relieved and continued the previous topic.

"Therefore, the purpose of eliminating Wufeng this time is not just to eliminate Wufeng."

Lin Qingyue took a deep breath and looked at Gong Zishang, "The Crown Prince is very likely to take this opportunity to ascend to the throne!"

Gong Zishang's eyes widened instantly. Things were developing too fast, and she couldn't keep up with Lin Qingyue's train of thought.

Gong Yuanzheng's reaction was extremely indifferent; he merely raised an eyebrow. He didn't care who the crown prince or the emperor was.

"Thirteenth Prince, now that you've come to the palace gates, you must have a thorough understanding of their strength."

"The weapons developed by Sister Zishang are so exquisite that even the firearms battalion can't match them."

Lin Qingyue then looked at Gong Yuanzheng, "Especially Yuanzheng's poison, it's too incredible."

"It is truly killing without leaving a trace, truly using herbs to their fullest potential. I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who can achieve such a feat."

"The imperial court will not allow such talented individuals to slip out of its control."

Gong Zishang's face immediately showed some anxiety. She clasped her hands tightly, glanced worriedly at Gong Yuanzheng who looked indifferent, and hurriedly asked Lin Qingyue.

"Qingyue, what should we do? Are they planning to detain and imprison our brother who is on the expedition?"

When that time really comes, Shang Jiao will go crazy.

The younger brother, Yuanzheng, was even more out of control. He used a handful of poison to directly poison those court officials and royal relatives.

At that time, the government will be rendered ineffective, and war will likely break out again, with ordinary people suffering the most.

Gong Yuanzheng calmly met Lin Qingyue's gaze, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow, yet incredibly deep, as if trying to draw her in.

He stared straight at Lin Qingyue, as if asking a question.

Yue'er, what about you? If he really loses his freedom in the future, Yue'er, what will you choose? Will you stay with him, or will you leave him?

Thinking of Lin Qingyue's previous resistance to him, the fear of losing her once again overwhelmed Gong Yuanzheng's heart.

His eyes became even more deep and dark, and an eerie light inadvertently shone through them.

He stroked Lin Qingyue's fingertips on the back of her hand, unconsciously increasing the pressure.

If he had never possessed it, the darkness in his heart would not have arisen.

Now that it has appeared in his life and made him feel warmth, he will never let go, no matter who comes.

Brother, he loves him so much, he will definitely help him. He doesn't ask for much, he just wants someone to be by his side forever.

Lin Qingyue's heart trembled slightly. She did not avoid Gong Yuanzheng's gaze and calmly met his eyes.

Lin Qingyue felt that she had probably guessed Gong Yuanzheng's thoughts.

She smiled at Gong Yuanzheng with a warm and gentle smile, as bright as sunshine, and her grip on his hand tightened.

Half of the gloom in Gong Yuanzheng's eyes dissipated. He slightly curved his lips into a smile, which flashed by for a moment before he immediately lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Lin Qingyue.

Seeing Gong Yuanzheng and Lin Qingyue staring at each other, Gong Zishang's lips twitched, and he suddenly felt that he was getting in her way.

At the same time, I felt a little speechless. What kind of time is this to be playing staring contests?

The anxiety in my heart was instantly washed away.

Lin Qingyue smiled and turned to look at Gong Zishang. Instead of answering Gong Zishang's question directly, she brought up another matter.

"The Crown Prince sent the Thirteenth Prince to travel the martial world and befriend the palace, which must be because he already had the idea of ​​letting the Thirteenth Prince control the martial world after he ascended the throne."

"The relationship between the imperial court and the martial arts world has always been delicate. When a member of the royal family directly intervenes in the affairs of the martial arts world, even if the martial arts people outwardly submit, there are bound to be undercurrents beneath the surface."

"At this time, we need someone whose prestige and martial arts skills are enough to win the hearts and minds of everyone in the martial arts world."

"This person is my elder brother. Only when he and the thirteenth prince jointly manage the affairs of the martial arts world can this hard-won stability be maintained."

Gong Zishang's anxiety immediately dissipated. "It seems that Yuanzheng is out of danger, that's good."

Only Shang Jiao can control Gong Yuanzheng's temper. Given how much Shang Jiao cares for him, Gong Yuanzheng will definitely live a peaceful life until his death.

"However," Lin Qingyue's tone suddenly changed, "this kind of stability can only last for one generation. To completely eliminate the use of martial arts to break the law, the martial arts world must be completely controlled by the imperial court."

"Those in positions of power are often suspicious. The power of the martial arts world is immense, and only those they absolutely trust can shoulder this heavy responsibility."

"The person the current Crown Prince trusts most is his younger brother, the thirteenth prince."

"I have heard my father talk about some things in the court. The thirteenth prince was essentially raised by the crown prince, and the two brothers have a very close relationship."

"The Crown Prince's successful reinstatement was also due to the efforts and maneuvering of the Thirteenth Prince."

"Back then, when the Crown Prince suggested that the Thirteenth Prince handle matters of the martial world, the Thirteenth Prince resigned from all his posts without hesitation and left the capital without stopping."

Gong Zishang seemed to be deep in thought. "Qingyue, do you mean that as long as the Crown Prince is alive, there will be no turmoil in the martial world?"

"If the Crown Prince were to pass away... the martial world would likely return to normal."

Lin Qingyue nodded and smiled, "Sister Zishang is right."

"If such a powerful force falls into the hands of an official appointed by the imperial court, it is difficult to guarantee that the person will continue to remain loyal to the court."

"If he is ever dissatisfied, he could launch a coup at any time, which would lead to another bloody upheaval."

"Therefore, it is best to keep such power in the hands of the royal family forever."

Gong Zishang understood somewhat, and her face turned ashen.

Lin Qingyue couldn't bear to see her like that and wanted to reach out to comfort her, but found that she couldn't pull her hand back.

Lin Qingyue looked at Gong Yuanzheng, who immediately turned his gaze away, as if he knew nothing, but he increased the force in his hand.

Lin Qingyue sighed. Since he wouldn't let go, she could only offer words of comfort to Gong Zishang.

"Sister Zishang, what I'm about to say is the most relevant to you."

"Several princes in the court are on good terms with the Crown Prince, and they are all suitable for marriage alliances with the palace."

“The thirteenth prince is the crown prince’s own brother. I’m afraid the crown prince would be reluctant to let him come for a marriage alliance.”

"I suspect that this marriage was proposed by the thirteenth prince."

Gong Zishang looked up at Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue smiled and continued, "Sister Zishang, perhaps you could talk to the Thirteenth Prince."
