Nan Of Gojoseon was a person who ate, drank, whored and gambled. He was in his forties, but he looked like he was in his fifties or sixties. His eyes were swollen, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
The emperor did not have a good impression of this person who relied on his ancestors to muddle along and wait for death, so he did not care much about his gifts.
Who would have thought that after he presented a pile of ordinary gifts, he did not withdraw. Instead, he held a small box in his hand and presented it with a flattering face, "Your Majesty, I still have a treasure here. I'm sure you'll like it!"
The emperor waved his hand. Chang Xi was about to take it, but Nan Of Gojoseon refused and said, "This treasure, ordinary people don't know how to use it. Would you like me to demonstrate it to you?"
Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they stared at this place without blinking. The emperor slightly raised his eyebrows, thinking that a waste like him could not do anything, so he was allowed to go forward.
Nan Of Gojoseon dragged his weak body forward step by step, and Gong Dai could not help but get closer. Then, he opened the box two meters away from the emperor. A strange fragrance came out. The emperor looked and found that there was some black paste inside, but he did not know what it was for.
At this time, Nan Of Gojoseon took a tubular object made of pure gold and filled it with the paste. After lighting it, he handed it to the emperor with a tired smile.
"Your Majesty, this thing is called Yunyan. It's a special product of a small country outside the border! Take a breath and your fatigue will disappear. It's the most suitable for Your Majesty. Would you like to try it? "
The emperor naturally would not use this kind of thing of unknown origin, but the strange fragrance floating in the air made him a little intoxicated. He even had the idea of giving it a try.
But when he was about to reach out, another hand took it first. The emperor looked and it turned out to be Gong Dai. He looked open and honest, and smiled generously.
"Father Emperor, listening to Imperial Uncle's magical words, this son is a little curious. Father Emperor, you don't mind this son to try it first, right?"
The emperor's outstretched hand paused. He knew that Gong Dai was trying to protect him. He was moved. He had so many sons, but he was the first to rush out. His filial piety was commendable, so he smiled and agreed.
Nan Of Gojoseon glanced at Gong Dai gloomily. "This thing has a strong aftereffect and is suitable for adults. Your Highness is still young, so it's better not to try it."
Gong Dai raised his eyebrows and said, "Enough stamina? Why didn't you say so earlier? "
Feeling the Emperor's sudden gloomy gaze, Nan Of Gojoseon was so scared that his face turned pale. He didn't dare to speak again.
Gong Dai only took a shallow breath, but he realized that this feeling was really similar to the poppy cream that the Royal Sister had unintentionally mentioned when he was young.
The Royal Sister had said that this stuff already existed, but it wasn't circulated to the mainland. Furthermore, the purification technology was limited. Long-term consumption would deteriorate a person's body and cause them to become addicted …
Gong Dai's eyes slightly narrowed. Looking at the dazed gazes on the table, he knew that this was a wonderful opportunity.
The Emperor stared at him without blinking, but he heard Gong Dai say with a smile, "Imperial Father, this thing does have a refreshing effect, but I've already used the only opium pipe. If Your Majesty is interested, I'll ask Imperial Uncle to make you another one later."
The Emperor smiled and waved his hand, indicating for the banquet to continue.
Night quickly fell ….
GongYimo sat cross-legged. Feeling the internal energy in her body gradually recovering, her heart finally felt a little more at ease.
Suddenly, a few soft sounds came from the roof. When she opened her eyes, she heard the sound of close combat. Lo Qi ran in. Seeing that GongYimo was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess, please follow me. There's an enemy attack!"
GongYimo obediently followed him. After walking out of the door, she saw that there were a few more corpses on the ground. The sounds of killing gradually died down. Looking up, she saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky. The first wave of people who had launched a sneak attack were all dead.
Before Lo Qi could breathe a sigh of relief, someone hurriedly reported, "Not good, there are people trying to break in through the front and back doors!"
Luo Qi's face suddenly turned ugly. Were those people colluding with each other?
If it was just someone trying to break in, then it would be fine. However, he looked at GongYimo, who was quietly standing beside him. She was the most dangerous person!
However, GongYimo, who was being stared at by him, looked in the direction of the imperial palace with some worry.
The bigger the commotion in Qi Manor, the more it proved that those people were fearless. There was only one reason for their fearlessness, and that was that something had happened in the imperial palace. Therefore, Gong Dai couldn't rush back …
"Is what you said true?"
The banquet had just ended. The Emperor looked at Gong Dai and said word by word.
Gong Dai lowered his head. "Every word is true! This thing can improve one's spirit at first, but as time passes, one's body will deteriorate day by day. One will also become addicted to it and be manipulated by others! "
While the Emperor was muttering to himself, Gong Dai continued, "Nan Of Gojoseon definitely doesn't have the brains and courage to come up with such an idea. There must be someone behind him directing him. During today's banquet, this son's actions must have alerted them. Therefore, this son requests an imperial decree to arrest Nan Of Gojoseon as soon as possible to prevent him from escaping!"
He spoke so coldly that even Gong Cheng admired his decisiveness a little. Thinking of something, the Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Then, you took a breath today. Will there be any problems?"
Gong Dai paused, then said, "There's no problem!"
He spoke resolutely and decisively, but the Emperor thought that he was afraid that he would worry. For a moment, the Emperor was moved and allowed him to plead for leniency, quickly arresting the culprit and bringing him to justice!
Gong Dai accepted the order and quickly led his men out. However, he didn't expect that by the time he arrived at the relay station, Nan Of Gojoseon had already escaped. He sneered and ordered his men to chase after him, while he himself led a group of men to Qi Manor.
He had also thought of what GongYimo had thought of. He wouldn't fall for those people's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain! The Royal Sister was his most important existence!!
Qi Manor had really fallen into a bitter battle!
Apart from those who came to capture GongYimo, there were also those who came to kill her. Even though Gong Dai had left many hidden guards behind, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. Lo Qi and the others were gradually unable to hold on.
GongYimo's heart ached for those dead guards. She wanted to leave, but now she had been completely exposed! She could hide once, but she couldn't hide a second time!
This time, if she was captured and the Emperor couldn't find her, he would only vent his anger on Gong Dai. Therefore, she couldn't stay here any longer. She had to leave!
Finally, when the number of enemies increased, Lo Qi could no longer care about protecting her. He locked her in a room and joined the battle!
However, he never expected that GongYimo would have recovered her inner strength. The small room naturally couldn't contain her and she immediately escaped!
In order to prevent more casualties in Qi Manor, the first thing she did after she escaped was to blast a wall with her explosives!
The rumbling sound of the explosion was too representative, causing many of the people who were fighting to stop.
"Not good! She's escaped! "
Everyone knew that only GongYimo had such destructive explosives. Therefore, the earth-shattering explosion was like a signal!
Although the enemies came from different camps, they retreated like the tide and chased after the explosion. Even the people from Qi Manor ran in that direction when they realized that GongYimo had disappeared!
When Gong Dai heard the sound, his heart trembled. Not good! Royal Sister is in danger!
