After breakfast in the morning, the maid brought Angelica dahuricae and golden grass tea. Looking at the bitter decoction, Qin Manman gritted his teeth and drank it all in one gulp. Then he quickly drank a large glass of water to dissipate the bitterness in his mouth.
As soon as she put the medicine bowl on the tray, she saw a commotion outside. She looked out the window and saw Gong Ziyu, dressed in black, striding over. The brides around her were talking a lot.
I saw him standing in front of a door, knocking lightly, and then the door opened, revealing Yun Weishan.
"Did this male protagonist fall in love at first sight?" Qin Manman whispered.
Although the male protagonist has good looks and figure, his stupid brain makes people disrespectful. This kind of male protagonist should be tied to the female protagonist to death.
Look at these two people, do they look like the male and female protagonists in idol dramas? It's just that in idol dramas, the male protagonist likes the silly and sweet female protagonist, but these two are the opposite. The female protagonist likes the silly and sweet male protagonist.
At this time in the corner palace, Gong Yuanzheng had already gotten up early to practice martial arts. He was busy until very late last night and went to bed very late. He was still a little sleepy, but he felt much more energetic after practicing martial arts.
After practicing martial arts, he took a shower and cleaned up. He was about to go to the ladies' courtyard to see if he could hear the bride's voice, but he didn't want to send anyone to repay her.
In desperation, I could only give up the idea of going to the female guest courtyard for the time being.
When choosing a bride, the most important thing for the palace is the bride's body and fertility. Just because the palace gate is covered with poisonous barriers, and the poisonous barrier will affect women's fertility, the palace gate has always had a scarcity of heirs.
After having a meal and drinking herbal tea, the steward arranged for a doctor to diagnose the pulse of all the brides, assess their physical constitution, and check for hidden diseases. After that, the bride's posture is assessed and she drinks the palace's secret medicine.
Qin Manman complained the whole time, why the palace was more strict in selecting brides than the emperor in selecting concubines. If the court found out about this, the palace would probably be destroyed.
But she was curious, since there were rivers and lakes, where was the court? The world is in such chaos, and the court has no one to control it?
Looking at the white jade token handed out in his hand, Qin Manman narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. The white jade token was just right. If he got the golden token, the chance of being selected by Gong Huanyu was too high.
The most important thing is that she will be targeted by Yun Weishan, and when the two assassins attack her, she will be afraid even if there is a system.
Diamondbacks must know how to save their lives!
After getting the token, Qin Manman didn't dare to delay, so he went upstairs and huddled in his small room. She would only show her face in front of the assassins if she was stupid. If she could make the two assassins forget about her, her life would be much safer.
The system watched the host act like a cat the whole time, wanting to laugh but afraid of hurting the host's fragile little heart.
520 said: [Host, when do you plan to go to the palace for an expedition? You must hurry up and complete the task, otherwise the marriage selection is over and you will be assigned to someone else. 】
The palace gate naturally has arrangements for other brides. They say they are arranging good marriages for them, but in fact they are just matching them randomly, and the bride will not have any choice.
Qin Manman frowned: [That's true, but I'm in the female guest's courtyard now. If I wander around blindly, I might be suspected. I don’t have the aura of being a heroine, what should I do if I’m finished? 】
But it's not enough to just stay like this. The mission has to be done, and we have to find a way to see Gong Yuanzheng.
In the main hall, due to the thicker poison barrier, Zhibian ordered Gong Yuanzheng to improve the formula of Angelica dahurica herb tea. However, Gong Ziyu mistakenly believed that Gong Yuanzheng deliberately used the bride to test the medicine, and angrily complained in front of Zhi Bian, but was scolded by Zhi Bian.
Gong Yuanzheng was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot, and happily went to greet his brother.
Because the young master wanted to choose a bride, all the brides were put into wedding clothes before they had time to rest, and the stewardess led all the brides to the main hall.
Qin Manman's appearance and figure were excellent, but because he kept a low profile and did not jump around in front of Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian, he was not noticed.
It was only now when the young master was choosing a bride that her appearance was discovered by the two of them.
But Yun Weishan didn't pay much attention because Qin Manman took the white jade token, and her biggest opponent was Jiang Lili, the bride opposite who also took the golden token.
As for Shangguan Qian, although she was surprised by the other person's outstanding appearance and felt a little apprehensive, she had absolute confidence in herself. What's more, she has been preparing for this day for a long time. She believes that she can make Gong Shangjiao choose her.
The two eyes turned away from him, and Qin Manman finally let go of his hanging heart. The feeling of being targeted by assassins was really bad, and he was worried that his life would be plotted at any time.
[I love you 520, I am actively doing tasks, but you must save my life~]
At this moment, Qin Manman wanted to hug the system and kiss him. After all, his life still needed the protection of the system.
520, who was needed, felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and immediately straightened his system back: [Don't worry, you are the host of my 520. As a qualified leader, it is your duty to protect the host's life! 】
Qin Manman's eyes filled with tears: [(๑°3°๑) Damn my Tongzi~]
520 system: [(｡ˇε ˇ｡) Mommy, my host~]
Seeing Gong Huanyu walking over, Qin Manman immediately lowered his head and lowered his sense of presence. Gong Huanyu glanced across, took one last look at Yun Weishan, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Lili.
Qin Manman glanced at it curiously, and then looked away again, only because Yun Weishan's eyes became cold.
Tonight, Jiang Lili is in danger!
At the same moment, Gong Ziyu at the palace gate received a sideways glance from Gong Shangjiao, who had just returned.
Gong Ziyu: "..." I'm so angry! Who are you looking at with such contemptuous eyes?
Gong Ziyu's mood became even worse.
"elder brother!"
Gong Shangjiao heard his brother's call from far away and saw his brother looking at him with a smile.
After getting off the horse, he handed the reins to the guard, who immediately took the horse away.
Gong Yuanzheng rushed to his brother's side. The prickly little wolfdog turned into a well-behaved little puppy in an instant. If Qin Manman were here, he would probably mutter, "Brother control."
"Expedition brother."
The coldness in Gong Shangjiao's eyes finally faded a bit and became a little more gentle when facing Gong Yuanzheng.
Back at the Corner Palace, Gong Yuanzheng had already ordered people to prepare dinner, and he followed his brother to the study.
The two sat down. Gong Yuanzheng poured two cups of tea and handed one cup to his brother: "Brother, you have worked hard here. I see that you have lost a little weight."
After saying that, he took off a kit from his waist: "By the way, the medicine I prepared earlier should be almost used. These are the ones I prepared newly. Brother, please be more careful when you are outside."
Gong Shangjiao took the kit and opened it. It was full of medicines, and each bottle was labeled with usage.
Looking at his sensible brother, his eyes became a little gentler: "Thank you for worrying about me, brother Yuanzheng."
Gong Yuanzheng's smile became even brighter: "I just want my brother to be safe."
"By the way, I heard that the assassin in the bride has been caught?" When mentioning this matter, Gong Shangjiao's eyes became a little colder.
Hearing his brother mention assassins, Gong Yuanzheng became more excited. The corners of his lips raised and he said, "We caught a assassin, but Wu Feng will never send just one assassin. There are assassins in the bride."
Hearing his brother's words, Gong Shangjiao was a little surprised: "It seems that brother Yuanzheng has really grown up."
Gong Yuanzheng was in a particularly good mood after being praised, but when he thought about Qin Manman, he pursed his lips: "Brother, if I say that I can hear a person's inner thoughts, would you believe it?"
After drinking tea, Gong Shangjiao looked at his younger brother: "What do you mean?"
Gong Yuanzheng: "When I set up a trap to catch the assassin last night, I heard the voice of a bride. She seemed to know Wu Feng very well. She even knew who the assassin was. What's more, she had the ability to predict the future."
As soon as these words came out, Gong Shangjiao became uneasy: "Brother Yuanzheng, are you sure?"
He did not doubt his brother, but such bizarre things needed to be confirmed again.
Gong Yuanzheng: "I'm sure, and she doesn't seem to be Wu Feng's assassin."
The tea cup in Gong Shangjiao's hand was placed on the table. He tightened his fingers and his fingertips turned slightly white. After a while, his eyes fell on Gong Yuanzheng: "I need to confirm. If this person is serious, he must Stay. So brother Yuanzheng, I will trouble you more."
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were hot: "Brother, I can give you orders at any time."
