In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed. GongYimo was already 15 years old.
At this moment, she was sitting under a pergola by the river. Looking at the progress and the busy workers, she estimated that the secret river channels would be opened up within this month. Thinking about the rolling in money after the river channels were opened up, she happily drank herbal tea and looked at the green mountains and clear waters. She was very satisfied.
After more than a year of hard work, GongYimo became a little rich woman again. With the support of Imperial Consort Yun, GongYimo and Kim Yoon joined forces to take over one pawnshop after another and opened a bank.
In this year and a half, the Emperor basically spent most of his time at Yun Jin's place. Pillow talk was also free. When a country was mobilized, it was very powerful. In addition, Kim Yoon was very generous. Although the bank was still in its early stages, it earned a lot of money every day.
Kim Yoon finally lived a temporarily stable life. However, all of this was built on his mother's sacrifice. Therefore, he could only work hard to live up to his mother's sacrifice.
However, Yun Jin was no longer the Yun Jin of the past.
More than a year ago, when the Eldest Prince was still recuperating, he was sent to Lou Ye with Rucha. His pitiful mother cried her heart out. She even knelt outside Imperial Consort Yun's palace for a day and a night, begging her to be merciful. However, she knelt until she fainted in the end. She did not see Yun Jin even once.
Later, the Fourth Prince also lost his hearing because of an ear disease due to improper treatment. Half of his ear was cut off and his face was damaged. He was considered a cripple.
Because of this, his mother went to find trouble with Yun Jin more than once. In the end, one day, Yun Jin fell into the water because of her and the Emperor demoted her by three ranks. Now, in the palace, even the Empress had to avoid her.
GongYimo was used to the disputes in the harem. Anyway, whatever she wanted to do, Kim Yoon would naturally help her. Therefore, she was happy to be an advisor. In any case, as long as Kim Yoon asked, Yun Jin would definitely agree. Therefore, she had not seen Yun Jin for a long time.
At this time, someone sent a secret letter. It turned out that it was news from Dai Yu State.
After becoming rich, she had been paying attention to the movements of the four major countries, especially the situation in Dai Yu State. Even she could not explain why she was constantly paying attention to these news, but she could not help but want to listen to these bits and pieces.
When the Marquis Zhenguo's funeral was held, the Empress wanted to reject this marriage. However, later on, Miss Su fell into the water and the Crown Prince saved her. The Crown Prince ruined her reputation. The Crown Prince then promised in front of everyone that he would wait for Su Miaolan for three years.
This move shocked the entire court!
Everyone in the Marquis Zhenguo was grateful to Gong Che, but the Empress was so angry that she fell ill.
Later on, the Empress's health improved slightly. Gong Che went to visit her once. It was unknown what he said, but the Empress fell silent. He then went to the Huai River alone.
The blueprint of the Yulong Grand Canal was calculated by her, so Gong Che could not change the path of the tributaries without permission. Then, when she was done digging up the river in Yuheng, Dai Yu State would be done soon.
However, the trade between the two countries could not avoid Gong Che. It was very likely that they would meet.
She thought about how Gong Che said that he liked her. Now … she did not know what the situation was.
Of course, in Yuheng, she heard news about Gong Dai the most. He seemed to be purposely making his presence known. She did not need to deliberately ask around to hear about his deeds.
For example, he saved the Emperor from the jaws of a tiger on the hunting ground. He served the Emperor until he fainted when he was seriously ill. He was also given a treasured sword by the Emperor to purge the corrupt officials! Countless houses were confiscated.
Every time there was a bloodbath at the market, it was he who presided over the court. At a young age, he made the corrupt officials tremble in fear.
It was said that he personally set up Zhao Prison. There were countless punishments in there. It was horrifying. Almost none of those who entered came out alive.
In summary, there was only one meaning: Gong Dai was very favored and the Emperor trusted him completely.
Not only did he control half of the Imperial Army, but he also punished the corrupt officials. In Dai Yu State, he could be said to be second only to the Emperor. At this time, Gong Che had not returned. When Gong Che returned to the capital one day, she did not know what kind of undercurrent would be brewing.
At this time, Kim Yoon walked towards her from afar.
The warm sunlight enveloped his body in a halo. His appearance was exquisite and beautiful, and the melancholy between his brows in the past had disappeared, making his entire being glow. The corners of his snow-white clothes fluttered with his large strides, giving him a kind of dazzling beauty.
GongYimo saw that the people coming and going all bowed to him, but she did not move. She sat under the pergola and drank herbal tea, sizing him up with narrowed eyes.
In the past year, Kim Yoon had made a comeback. His status had risen. He was beautiful and rich. The girls who wanted to marry him could line up from the palace to the border. Moreover, Yun Gui Fei had held a "consort selection banquet" for him more than once, but he had rejected it with the reason that he did not like her.
As a result, GongYimo narcissistically thought, Could this person have taken a liking to her?
At this time, Kim Yoon also approached the pergola. He looked at the people outside busily digging the canal and said half-jokingly, "I heard that you have a powerful weapon in your hands that can cut through mountains and water. What, are you so scared that you don't dare to use it now?"
GongYimo poured him a cup of herbal tea and giggled. "It's not that I don't need it. It's not time yet!"
As she spoke, she asked with schadenfreude, "Why did you come out? Didn't your mother consort say that if you don't choose a consort, she won't let you out? "
"Speaking of mother consort … …" He glanced at GongYimo. "Mother consort misses you. Every time, she would ask you why you don't go into the palace to see her."
"Forget it." GongYimo shrugged. "Your Yuheng Imperial Palace is too chaotic. I won't go."
Today, Yuheng Imperial Palace could be said to be extremely extravagant!
They imitated the ancient people in digging wine pools. All the palace servants in the wine pools could only wear light muslin. Moreover, they were all beauties. Everywhere was filled with the fragrance of wine and meat and the scent of women's cosmetics. Moreover, the music was incessant. It made people immersed in it, unable to see the light.
It was said that Jin Sheng was addicted to it every day. Now, even the memorials were read by Kim Yoon.
Speaking of this, Kim Yoon smiled embarrassedly. He also did not know what to say. His mother consort had changed. She was clearly the same person, but sometimes, he felt a little scared.
For example, imitating Shang Zhou's wine pool and meat forest. It was Yun Jin's request.
Only, she still cared about him. But sometimes, the way she looked at him was strange. There was a feeling that he could not describe.
At this time, GongYimo raised her cup and faintly said.
"You have to be careful of your mother consort."
Kim Yoon smiled. Just as he was about to say that she was joking, GongYimo said another sentence.
"This sentence, I'm serious."
She looked outside and revealed a meaningful smile. A weak person could not suddenly become brave and strong. The only way she could become strong was to twist and finally become abnormal.
"Let's not talk about this."
Kim Yoon suddenly changed the topic. "I can't leave these two days, but I have already sent a letter to Dai Yu State's Crown Prince. I told him about the cooperation of the canal. He is very interested and asked me to send someone to contact one of his subordinates. That person is in charge of repairing the tributaries that we need. I hope that you can meet him in my place. "
