It turned out that she was the Imperial Concubine Long who claimed to be ill all year round. If GongYimo was here, she would really praise her. What a devastatingly beautiful and delicate beauty …
She blinked, her limpid eyes full of worry. "Your Majesty need not be too worried. I think those rumors are not true. The Crown Prince may have really been attacked by an assassin and cannot return to the capital. It's not that he has a rebellious heart and used the excuse of being attacked by an assassin to refuse to return to the capital. Your Majesty … please don't be angry."
Her words were slow and very weak, but it made Emperor Cheng's mood turn cold little by little.
Emperor Cheng's face was as calm as water, and his face twitched twice.
"It's best that he doesn't have such thoughts! Only I can give my position, no one can snatch it! "
With that, he strode out of the hall and prepared to leave the palace. He wanted to personally welcome his son who had won the hearts of the people after not seeing him for more than a year!
Long Xiangxiang looked at the Emperor's departing back and covered her mouth to smile.
Long Teng River was the moat, and the East Gate was the closest gate to the moat. At this time, the Emperor stood on the gate with hundreds of officials, looking into the distance.
Unlike Emperor Cheng's complicated emotions, the officials also had different expressions. Some were worried and anxious, some were calm and collected, and some were tense as if they were preparing for war! It wasn't until the giant ship slowly approached under the escort of countless people that they couldn't restrain their surprise any longer. They all exclaimed in surprise!
It was too big, too big! It was like a palace! No wonder so many people were needed to pull it, they had never seen such a huge ship!
Someone seized the opportunity to whisper behind the Emperor, "It's just an assassination attempt, but he has to take such a big ship back to the capital. The Crown Prince is not the Emperor yet, but he dares to waste people's money and be so arrogant and extravagant! If he really becomes the Emperor, I don't know how many people he will harm for his own desires! "
When Emperor Cheng heard it, he couldn't help but look back at the person beside the Left Prime Minister. This glance made the person who spoke feel a chill down his spine, and he shut his mouth in embarrassment, not daring to raise his head again.
But even if he didn't say it, someone else would.
"The Crown Prince's character has never been like this. I've long heard that the Crown Prince dug out the Cauldron of King Wu that had sunk into the Jade Dragon Cauldron years ago. There was also a prophecy on the cauldron to save the world. The Crown Prince must have been flattered by a slanderous official. That's why the Crown Prince became so ignorant …"
"Tsk tsk, a cultivator of the Canal River will bring glory to the world. How arrogant!"
Their words made Gong Cheng's heart sink deeper and deeper. He thought of GongYimo's Yue Lun, which was said to be able to shake the heavens and break the earth, and the Crown Prince dug out the bronze cauldron of prophecy … He gradually became anxious, and his eyes became colder and sharper.
Seeing that the boat was getting closer, he waved his hand, and the people in the dark immediately got ready for battle! More than five thousand Imperial Army soldiers surrounded the eastern city gate. As they watched the approaching ship, they were perplexed. If they really wanted to rebel, why did they have to make such a big fuss?
They were getting closer …
Countless students gathered at the foot of the city. Feeling the tense atmosphere inside and outside the city, they held their heads high and their backs straight! In the end, they all knelt down.
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live!! "
The earth-shaking kowtows pulled Gong Cheng back to reality. He looked at the crowd of people kneeling at the foot of the city. His expression was complicated and puzzled. Why were they so obedient and devout to worship him? What kind of trick was GongYimo playing?
The giant ship gradually stopped. It was only twenty to thirty meters away from the city gate. Many people came down from the ship and kowtowed to the Emperor. But the city gate was closed, and there was no sign of it opening.
Gong Cheng's pair of tiger-like eyes stared at the ship. There were still people who didn't come down!
It was only when most of the people had come down that someone carried Gong Che down. Thankfully, after a few days of treatment, Gong Che had already survived this ordeal. Once he woke up, he would be able to recuperate properly.
Gong Cheng glanced at Gong Che. Although he was far away, his pale appearance couldn't deceive people. Moreover, Chang Xi followed Gong Che all the way. They couldn't disguise themselves. So, Gong Che was really attacked by an assassin and was seriously injured?
Gong Cheng's eyes narrowed. Why did his intelligence say that Gong Che was not seriously injured?
How many tricks were there in this?
He no longer thought about it. His eyes were still staring at the giant ship!
There were still people who didn't come down!
That ship was really high. The mast was even higher than the city gate. Now that they were so close, people could clearly see how magnificent and exquisite the ship was! Gong Cheng didn't admit that he was jealous. His dragon ship wasn't so magnificent!
At this time, Chang Xi had already sneaked to Gong Cheng's side. There were still people! GongYimo hadn't come down yet!
As if to cater to his thoughts, a pale figure appeared, but she didn't get off the ship. Instead, she stood on the deck. Because the ship was very high, Gong Cheng could clearly see how weak she was now. Her pale face was bloodless, and her eyes were staring at him coldly.
Chang Xi looked at GongYimo like this. His whole body was on guard, ready to protect the emperor at any time. Along the way, he really couldn't figure out what GongYimo was selling. Since she woke up two days ago, she didn't say a word except for thanking the people once.
Hearing Chang Xi's vigilant and whispered back, Gong Cheng's heart ached. He didn't expect that Gong Che was really dying, and he issued such a decree at such a time. So much so that the child in front of him was forced to vomit blood!
He really couldn't imagine that the mentally tough GongYimo would vomit blood one day!
She dared to kill people in front of the emperor to ask for a reward when she was ten years old! She dared to use meritorious service in exchange for the lives of the Liu family when he was angry!
She dared to send Gong Dai to the West Continent openly and dared to draw a path to heaven for Gong Che in a difficult situation! Would a woman like her also have a time when she was helpless to vomit blood?!
GongYimo stood alone on the deck. The wind tore at her thin but tall body. She held the exquisite carved railing and smiled at the people on the city gate.
"Long time no see, Your Majesty."
It was as if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. She was obviously close at hand, but she was far away at the end of the world.
Gong Cheng still remembered that she used to sweetly call him Father Emperor, coaxing him to be happy, and then shamelessly asking him to reward her. But now, she stood on the opposite side of him and coldly called him Your Majesty. Gong Cheng felt quite uncomfortable, but his eyes still stared at her majestically. He wanted to see what kind of trick she was going to play.
"Bold! Why don't you kneel when you see His Majesty?! "
Someone beside the emperor reacted and quickly jumped out to accuse her.
GongYimo was too lazy to look at him, "His Majesty has specially allowed me not to salute in front of anyone. Who do you think you are … Is it your turn to speak?"
The official choked. He wanted to say that she was a commoner and he, as a first-rank minister, couldn't speak. But when he caught a glimpse of the emperor's unhappy eyes, his heart trembled and he quickly retreated.
"Mo'er." Gong Cheng pointed to the students and commoners under the city gate with an unhappy expression.
After saluting, these people firmly guarded the two sides of the ship, as if they were afraid that he would explode and hurt people.
"You brought these people and drove the ship straight to the Imperial City. What do you want?"
