Chapter 477: Betrayed Gong Sun Yanming

Within the Mingxin Hall, Xiao Rong Er was also preparing to collect Meng Qianqian's corpse.

Regardless of whether Shang Wuyou could be saved or not, this woman had no chance of leaving alive.

She intended to send her body to the Crown Prince's Mansion, allowing them to witness the fate of the chosen Lady Feng.

However, just as she had the straw mat laid out, Meng Qianqian emerged from the backyard.

Her spine straight, her slender figure resembling a pine tree or bamboo, she stood in the golden morning sun, like a phoenix reborn from its ashes.

Xiao Rong Er suddenly felt a sense of unreality, and a long-forgotten name flashed through her mind: Zhongli Yuan...

Instinctively, she stood up and stared at Meng Qianqian in disbelief.

For a moment, she thought she was dreaming.

It wasn't until Meng Qianqian's face gradually came into focus that she realized she had awakened from a dream.

"This girl... she's not dead!"

How was that possible?

If this girl was unharmed, what about her own brother, who had mistakenly entered the secret passage and was killed by Gongsun Yanming?

Xiao Rong Er covered her heart, which ached with pain, and her entire body trembled violently.

Hong Xiu quickly supported her, "Madam!"

Xiao Rong Er was so angry that her eyes reddened, and tears welled up, "She came out alive... Did you see that, Hong Xiu... She came out alive... Gongsun Yanming didn't kill her..."

Hong Xiu comforted her, "Perhaps the Pavilion Master has other plans."

"Other plans?" Xiao Rong Er laughed, tears streaming down her face, "In my opinion, it's that ungrateful person using her life as a threat, forcing Gongsun Yanming to spare her..."

"An ungrateful person... an ungrateful person..."

Xiao Rong Er staggered and fell into a chair, "That's my own brother... He even killed my brother!"

Hong Xiu glanced at Meng Qianqian, who was not far away, "Madam, she exhausted herself treating the young master's illness. She's very weak now. Should I go and kill her?"

Xiao Rong Er, blinded by jealousy and anger, clenched her fists and commanded, "Kill!"

Hong Xiu swiftly moved, her palm transforming into claws, aiming for Meng Qianqian's back heart.

Everyone thought Hong Xiu was just an ordinary maid, learning some basic martial arts skills by following Xiao Rong Er. But they didn't know that she was a protective charm given to Xiao Rong Er by the old Pavilion Master.

Just as she was about to succeed, a figure suddenly burst through the door, grabbing Meng Qianqian with one hand and slapping Hong Xiu's right shoulder with the other.

Hong Xiu was forced to retreat several steps, and she coldly stared at the person who had appeared out of thin air, "Elder Yan?"

Yan Madam shielded Meng Qianqian behind her, "Madam, you really have hidden dragons and crouching tigers around you. I don't know what my disciple has done wrong to deserve such personal discipline from you?"

Xiao Rong Er replied calmly, "So it's Elder Yan. Since she disrespected me and you weren't here, I thought I'd discipline her on your behalf. Now that you're here, I'll leave it to you. Hong Xiu, come back!"

"Yes, Madam."

Hong Xiu returned to the warm pavilion.

Meng Qianqian walked out of the Mingxin Hall.

Tan'er's eyes lit up, "Sister!"

The previous night, after Meng Qianqian entered the secret chamber, Tan'er had also waited outside all night. If not for Yan Madam stopping her, she would have rushed in.

"Sister, you look so haggard."

Meng Qianqian said, "Help me back first."

"Okay!"

Tan'er quickly supported Meng Qianqian as they headed back.

Once they were far from the Mingxin Hall, Meng Qianqian could no longer hold back. Her body trembled, and she leaned against the artificial hill, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

Tan'er's face paled, "Sister!"

Yan Madam, who was behind them, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Meng Qianqian's wrist.

Tan'er hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the black blood from Meng Qianqian's mouth.

Meng Qianqian gasped, "I'm fine... It's good to get it out... I didn't expect Gongsun Yanming's poison... to be so powerful... Even with my Golden Silkworm, I almost died..."

Yan Madam's expression eased slightly, "The Gu King of Miaojiang, his reputation is well-deserved."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Yes, if not for the Golden Silkworm, I don't know how many times I would've died."

Tan'er was so angry she stomped her feet. "Gong Sun Yanming! I want to kill him! I want to kill him!"

Meng Qianqian gently touched Tan'er's fluffy head. "It's fine. I also prepared a big gift for him."

Yan Niangzi asked Meng Qianqian, "What happened last night? I heard you injured Wuyou?"

Tan'er said, "Sister wouldn't hurt that fool!"

Meng Qianqian explained, "Xiao Rong Er took advantage of my absence and went to your yard, where she ambushed Wuyou."

Yan Niangzi asked in confusion, "How did she know Wuyou would come looking for you?"

"That's what I've been thinking about all night."

She flipped through a book and saw a photo of a woman with a snake tattoo on her arm.

Meng Qianqian recalled, "Before Wuyou fainted, he told me to quickly escape from Qian Jige. From this, I deduced that he went to inform me, and it's likely that after I retrieved Gongsun Liuying's destiny pattern, Gong Sun Yanming developed a desire to kill me. He wouldn't have told Wuyou about his plan, so Wuyou must have overheard it by accident. Could it be that... Xiao Rong Er has a spy by Gong Sun Yanming's side, and that person informed Xiao Rong Er of Wuyou's whereabouts?"

Yan Niangzi said, "I've said it before, don't provoke Qian Jige."

Meng Qianqian replied, "They're the ones provoking me. I'm just taking back what belongs to me."

Tan'er spoke solemnly, "Sister, I'll help you get revenge!"

Yan Niangzi knew that Meng Qianqian's mind was made up, and even eight horses couldn't pull her back. She gave up trying to persuade her and said, "Xiao Rong Er has always wanted to get rid of Wuyou and Chang Le, but she's been held back by the Pavilion Master. It's likely that Liuying's matter has pushed her over the edge."

Meng Qianqian replied indifferently, "I don't care how that couple fights behind closed doors, but no one is allowed to touch Wuyou's life."

Yan Niangzi asked, "How is Wuyou's injury?"

Meng Qianqian frowned, "He took a knife for me, and it was almost impossible to save him."

Tan'er, upon hearing this, swallowed her words of scolding Shang Wuyou. "Well, at least he has some conscience. Next time, I'll give him a sugar-coated hawthorn stick!"

Yan Niangzi asked, remembering something, "You mentioned preparing a big gift for the Pavilion Master?"

Meng Qianqian hooked her lips into a smile, "Yes, it's not just him who has developed a desire to kill. I've been waiting for this day for too long, and I've never had the chance to get close to him. I kept telling myself, 'Don't let me miss this opportunity,' because if I do... I definitely won't let it pass!"

Inside the secret chamber, Gong Sun Yu was secretly messing with the medicine Xiao Rong Er had given him.

He originally thought he wouldn't need it.

But he never expected Shang Wuyou to survive.

Now, how was he supposed to drug this kid right under his big brother's nose?

Gongsun Yanming returned to the ice table and glanced at Gongsun Yu, "Are you still here?"

Gongsun Yu replied calmly, "Big brother is tired after staying up all night. Let me take over guarding Wuyou, and you can go rest."

Gongsun Yanming nodded and was about to go to the adjacent room to rest when suddenly a wave of dizziness hit him. He steadied himself against the ice table.

Gongsun Yu was startled, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Gongsun Yanming shook his head to clear his mind.

Then he raised his slightly numb right hand, and a black line appeared in his palm.

Gongsun Yu took a closer look, "Big brother, your hand..."

Gongsun Yanming's eyes swept over his hand, "It's poisoned."

Gongsun Yu immediately exclaimed, "I didn't poison him, big brother!"

Gongsun Yanming's right hand had only touched two things: the teacup outside and... Wuyou's forehead.

His teaware was from Yao Wang Valley, and if it had been poisoned, the teacup would have changed color.

So, the poison must have been administered to Wuyou.

What a vicious girl!

Dear readers, please give me a round of applause for this plot twist!
