Far in the south, Dai Yu state was also shrouded in dark clouds.
The Emperor hated Gong Dai for hiding the truth. After dealing with Nan Of Gojoseon, he punished him with whipping and forbade him from receiving medical treatment. He had to kneel on the Temple of Heaven for three days and three nights.
However, to everyone's disappointment, the Emperor was so angry that he didn't take away the fifty thousand imperial guards under his command. It could be seen that this punishment was all bark and no bite.
In the cold weather, Gong Dai knelt on the snowy Temple of Heaven with his upper body bare. The crisscrossing whip marks on his body were shocking. However, he seemed to have lost consciousness and didn't move at all.
He knelt until noon and his three days were up.
At this time, his face was pale. There was no trace of the ruthlessness he had when he beheaded Nan Of Gojoseon. The day after GongYimo escaped, Gong Dai brought a bramble to ask for punishment. At that time, the Emperor dismissed everyone and spoke to him. Many people thought that the Emperor had let him go. They didn't expect that he would only be punished after Nan Of Gojoseon died.
Many people thought that Gong Dai was lucky to run into Nan Of Gojoseon's plot to murder the Emperor. This caused the Emperor to not care about him and let him off lightly.
However, Gong Shi knew that the truth was far from that.
When he walked far away, he gloomily glared at the figure in the snow.
He couldn't accept it!
He was so close. As long as father emperor used Nan Of Gojoseon's things a few times, he would have succeeded! However, Gong Dai knew about such a little-known thing and even used it to make up for his crimes. Otherwise, based on his crime of harboring GongYimo, he wouldn't have been whipped!
Moreover, Gong Dai seemed to have found something. The Emperor's attitude towards him these days was much colder.
The more Gong Shi thought about it, the more he hated him. His eyes were filled with a sinister light!
Just you wait. Count yourself lucky this time. Next time, I'll make sure you're dead!
Gong Dai wasn't idle either. He knelt there, but in his heart, he was silently chanting the mantra to expel the cold and heal the wound.
[Wind and Nature] was a very profound martial art. Every style and every move was very exquisite. Gong Dai was even somewhat glad that he practiced this kind of martial art. His heart was already ruthless, if it was any other slightly more extreme martial art, it might have caused his temperament to change greatly, becoming cold-blooded and unpredictable.
It was snowing lightly in the sky. At this moment, someone came from afar with an umbrella, causing Gong Dai to open his eyes.
"Did she really leave?"
Gong Che didn't seem to believe it. He felt that GongYimo must still be hiding somewhere in the capital, waiting to play a prank on him.
Gong Dai's mentality had already become strong and mature, so he was no longer on guard against Gong Che. He believed that with his strength, he could defeat all men.
"She's gone. Even I don't know where she went."
Gong Dai lightly said. Just because she was mentioned, a trace of tenderness and helplessness appeared on the youth's face. His Royal Sister was really too powerful. He used all his manpower to search for her, but there was no news of her. It had only been a few days, so it was impossible for her to disappear without a trace. The only explanation was that she was no longer in the country.
Gong Che's knuckles turned slightly white as he gripped the umbrella. He was dressed in a snow-white robe, but this whiteness was not as pale as his face.
"She's gone …"
These two words were so light that they dissipated in the wind. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a bitter smile. This smile was actually uglier than crying. He thought of the upcoming wedding, the palace was decorated with lanterns and decorations every day. And the only person he wanted to show it to, that person had left …
It was as if his counterattack didn't get a response. His heart was empty.
Moreover, in an instant, he also sighed for his own stupidity.
Those who were involved could not see clearly. At that time, he only saw that GongYimo had rejected him. He only wanted to hear what she said, but did not consider how dangerous her situation was. Now that he thought back on his actions during this period of time, he only felt that it was laughable …
She was no longer around. This marriage, was there still a need to go through?
Gong Dai sneered, "Why do you care? Anyway, you're about to get married. Ninth brother is here to congratulate you. "
Gong Dai's words caused Gong Che's figure to sway. His eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness for no reason!
He couldn't get married. If he got married, then he would really have no chance!
Thinking of this, he looked at Gong Dai's back. He also couldn't offend the Duke. Gong Dai was gradually rising. He couldn't lose to him!
Seeing Gong Che leave in a hurry, Gong Dai didn't even turn his head back. He was thinking in his heart, thinking about what his next step should be.
Only, he looked at the gray sky and smiled slightly … Royal Sister, you must guard your heart well. Because your heart can only be mine.
GongYimo sneezed slightly. Looking at the anxious Madam Yun Jin in front of her, she leisurely ate her snacks.
"The palace banquet hasn't started yet. Why are you in such a hurry?" She swayed back and forth, making her dizzy.
Hearing this, Yun Jin looked at her timidly. Now, she already knew that GongYimo was a woman, but she was still very afraid of her. So when she saw her lying on her bed and eating without changing her clothes, she didn't dare to say a word.
"I'm just afraid … afraid that Yoon will be taken advantage of."
After all, when the Emperor forced her that day, he said such threatening words. But how could she say such words?
GongYimo comforted her, "Don't worry. No matter how crazy the Emperor is, he won't go so far. But you, have you thought it through?"
Thought it through? Yun Jin frowned very unwillingly.
Today, this woman said that she wanted her to leave the cold palace to regain favor. She resisted in her heart. When she thought of the fierce Emperor, her body trembled.
Looking at her appearance, she knew that she was unwilling. GongYimo rolled her eyes, "If you are willing to listen to me, I guarantee that you will definitely become the Emperor's favorite concubine. Think about it, once you are favored, your son's situation will be much better."
What she said was true. But when she thought of the way the women in the harem looked at her, she trembled, "I can't, I can't do it …"
As she said this, she seemed to want to cry. But GongYimo's gaze forced her back. Really, a person in her thirties. Can't she be a little more mature and not cry all the time?
On the other hand, Kim Yoon was really a little restless.
It was clearly still early, but Imperial Father asked him to play chess with Lou Ye's prince first. And that prince's eyes were fixed on him, making him feel a little angry. But in front of the Emperor, he couldn't just flick his sleeves and leave, so he could only endure it.
The Emperor saw this and pretended not to know. At this time, they were sitting in a pavilion by the lake. Light muslin floated in the air, and with beautiful women as their companions, they were having a lot of fun.
Halfway through the game, Rucha finally became a little impatient. He pushed away the chess pieces and shouted that he didn't want to play anymore. He reached out and pulled a palace maid who was serving tea to sit on his lap. The palace maid cried out in alarm and her face turned red!
But this foreign prince was an important guest. Even if she was afraid, she didn't dare to struggle. She could only look at the Emperor with her beautiful eyes. After all, the women in the harem were all his.
