GongYimo's sarcastic remark made Li Ke's face turn red!
"I didn't! It's all of you! You didn't give me a way out. Since that's the case, isn't it death? A man is born magnanimous and does not fear death! It's just a head, just take it! "
"Then why did you ask me to kill you?"
GongYimo casually exposed his pretense. Looking at his pale face, she smiled coldly.
If he did not regret it, he would not be kneeling here and begging for her punishment.
"Maybe you're not wrong and you don't regret it …"
GongYimo was a little tired. Her soft voice sounded like a sigh.
"But I've decided to forgive you."
"You!"
Li Ke lifted his head to look at her! The muscles on his face were trembling! Was GongYimo pitying him? Was she giving him charity?!
Unexpectedly, when he lifted his head, he met GongYimo's cold eyes.
That pair of eyes seemed to be able to contain everything, but at the same time, it was also empty, dangerous and deep.
"Didn't you say that you'll do better than your brother when you're in a high position? That you'll do more good deeds for the country and the people and leave your name in history … I'll wait."
After saying that, she turned to leave. Li Ke came back to his senses and shouted angrily!
"GongYimo, you'll die in my hands one day if you continue to be so soft-hearted!"
GongYimo did not stop. With her back facing him, she waved her hand nonchalantly. "Whatever. You'd better think about how to survive first …"
That tone of hers was really nonchalant.
Li Ke clenched his fist tightly! He buried his head deeply! He should have felt humiliated, but he didn't know why, but when Gong Yi Mo uttered the words "forgive you", he felt his body and mind relax!
So, deep in his heart, he had wanted to use death to exchange for her forgiveness?
If he had denied himself, then what had he gained after all this time? …
Hearing the sound of weapons clashing from afar, he suddenly let out a muffled laugh … Finally, he took out a dagger and stabbed it into his body …
Before he fainted, he was still thinking that if he died, then in this short life of his, the one thing he would not regret the most … would probably be meeting her …
GongYimo, I have already betrayed my beliefs. As for you, since you have chosen to persevere, then please persevere!
All the way west.
Originally, GongYimo wanted to look for her master, but after thinking about it, she felt that she was just a stranger to him, so it was better not to disturb him.
Thus, she wandered aimlessly. A few days later, she arrived at a town, Guo City.
This place was still at the foot of the Emperor, so the trade was very prosperous. GongYimo changed into men's clothes and sat at a small stall to eat. She was not used to being alone.
She buried her head in her food, but heard the discussion from the neighboring seats.
"Have you heard? The Ninth Prince who made great contributions in the West Continent is critically ill! "
"How could that be? I've seen him from afar before. He looks like a spirited young man! "
"Isn't that right …"
GongYimo thought that she had heard wrongly. She hurriedly walked up and grabbed that person to ask, "What did you just say? Who are you saying is critically ill? "
GongYimo glared at that person, her eyes sharp and murderous! He was so frightened that his legs turned to jelly. He hurriedly said, "Sir, I'm not spouting nonsense. It's true! Ninth Prince is vomiting blood non-stop. The imperial physicians are helpless and are looking for famous physicians! "
Vomiting blood???
GongYimo loosened her grip and that person hurriedly ran away. She was still in a daze.
Gong Dai vomiting blood … It couldn't be … because of her, right?
Her little face was pale and her heart was in turmoil. She hesitated over this thought.
What should she do? Should she go back?
But if she went back, what if Gong Dai was lying to her?
But if she didn't go back, what if it was true?
Gong Dai … That was the person she cherished in the palm of her hands …
On the other hand, Qi Manor was filled with gloom.
Gong Dai was lying on the bed with a pale face. However, there weren't any imperial physicians around. Lo Qi carefully walked in and knelt by the bed as he whispered.
"The news has already spread and His Majesty's notice has already been posted in Xiang City. Princess has only left for a few days so she will definitely see it."
As for Gong Dai, he seemed to have fallen asleep. After hearing his words, he didn't move at all.
Lo Qi sighed inwardly and continued, "Our men have been searching from the four city gates but have yet to find any trace of Princess."
After saying that, he originally thought that Gong Dai would be angry. Who knew that he actually closed his eyes and deeply furrowed his brows. It was as if he was having a nightmare.
After a while, Gong Dai suddenly groaned in pain and slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were different from the usual black and white coldness. At this moment, his eyes were blurred, as if he was still in a dream and unable to extricate himself. After a while, his gaze slowly turned cold and finally turned into a deathly stillness.
"Tonight, have everyone leave the manor."
Lo Qi raised his head in confusion but heard Gong Dai continue.
"Also, have everyone outside return."
"Wh … Why?" This time, Lo Qi was really shocked! No one knew better than him how important the Princess was to His Highness. Why would His Highness make such a decision?!
As for Gong Dai, he only slowly placed his hand over his heart and closed his eyes.
"I can feel it. Royal Sister, she has returned …"

After GongYimo sneaked through the city gates, she didn't directly head to Qi Manor. Soon, the sky would turn dark and she would go and investigate when the time came!
In the end, she wasn't prepared to meet Gong Dai. She only wanted to see how Gong Dai was doing. If it really was an emergency, she couldn't care about anything else.
However, if Gong Dai was lying to her, what should she do?
In the tavern, she had downed jug after jug of wine. Everyone said that wine boosts courage. She never thought that there would be a day when she would have to use wine to boost her courage!
Night quickly arrived. GongYimo secretly approached Qi Manor and stopped to listen.
During the day, she had heard that Qi Manor had sent out all of its men and that it was now an empty manor. She didn't believe it, but after listening, she really felt that it was very quiet, as if there wasn't a single person inside.
This made GongYimo a little angry. Even if they were in a hurry to find someone, they shouldn't disregard their own safety like this! Recently, there had been quite a number of people spying on the manor!
She shook her head disapprovingly, then flipped over the wall and landed steadily on the grass. At this moment, there was still a layer of frost on the grass. When she stepped on it, there was a light crisp sound.
GongYimo held her breath and waited for a long time. When she found that there was indeed no one, she hurriedly ran towards Gong Dai's residence!
The manor was really quiet. The ambush that she had thought would happen was completely gone. GongYimo's heart trembled. Could it be that something had really happened to Gong Dai?! With this thought, she ran even more hurriedly!
