Chapter 448 In Mourning (1)
The only exception?
So he meant that as long as he could be with her, he could abandon being Emperor, have no children, and even status?
Gong Yimo didn’t know how she should face him. She thought that Gong Jue was out of his mind! Yes, something was definitely wrong with him!
So, Gong Yimo turned tail and ran, so quickly that it was almost as if a ghost was chasing her!
Gong Jue just stood there, looking at her with amusement. Against his form, the lonely lamp and the huge palace gates and walls behind him acting as a backdrop made him look even more dejected.
But he was in a cheerful mood.
His Imperial Sister would never be able to understand how far he could go for her.
Gong Yimo was still slightly out of it when she returned to Taiji Palace. She threw herself onto bed and buried herself under the covers. She was clearly not supposed to think about it, but she just couldn’t help it!
Gong Jue…What are his feelings to her exactly?
Is it just an obsession that he had to get no matter what?
But she also felt as if she was thinking too badly of Gong Jue. But if she didn’t think about it this way, how was she going to face him?!
When she thought of those cold but faintly affectionate eyes, she couldn’t help but whimper. It felt like her head was going to pop!
The palace people of Taiji Palace were all trembling with fear, waiting for this newly crowned princess to lecture them. But unexpectedly, they were completely ignored, which left them relieved but also slightly uneasy.
Sure enough, trouble came knocking the second day!
Hazily, Gong Yimo felt that it was a bit noisy. She had gone to bed last night without changing after thinking about things deep into early morning, so now she just got up, cleaned up a bit, and headed out.
“Princess.” A stream of servants was already waiting outside the door. Seeing Gong Yimo wake up, those who were originally anxious finally brightened up! The one at the front said, “Sorry for disturbing the princess, it was this slave who has failed her duties, but the Empress Dowager is here, so this slave is…”
They really could not offend either side!
Gong Yimo saw that it was still early in the morning, but this Empress Dowager sure was energetic. So, she followed the palace girls over to the source of the noise.
At the same time, the Emperor, who was in morning court, had the same problem. That is, the opposing sides were dancing around like snowflakes. They all thought that what he did last night was unreasonable.
“Poor Yan’er! You died terribly for no reason! And yet that vile thing became a princess! She was promoted by stepping over your body! Don’t worry, I’ll never allow such a thing to happen!”
The Empress Dowager was bent on bringing Long Hanyan’s corpse with her to block Taiji Palace’s gates! This was arguably an unprecedented case since the founding of the country!
She was still the Emperor’s mother, after all. Knowing that the Emperor makes no jokes, she did not put any pressure on her son, but she won’t rest until she pressures Gong Yimo into returning the title herself!
Phoenix returning with glory? How could a bastard like Gong Yimo be worthy of that title?
As soon as Gong Yimo came out, she saw the Empress Dowager sitting on an imperial carriage, her face twisted and angry!
More than a dozen palace servants were trembling behind her. Clearly, she had been throwing tantrums since before Gong Yimo came out.
Gong Yimo looked at Long Hanyan’s corpse that was clogging up the gates. Thanks to winter, she didn’t look that scary, but if it was the summer, then the Empress wouldn’t have the courage to sit here and just watch.
“Kneel down!”
The Empress Dowager shouted coldly at her as soon as Gong Yimo came out.
“What? Do you not take me seriously anymore after you became a princess?”
Gong Yimo moved her gaze from Long Hanyan to the Empress Dowager. “His Majesty said that I have the right to not bow to anyone, so it’s up to me whether I want to kneel to you or not. It all depends on my mood.”
