The next day, GongYimo woke up with a pair of panda eyes. She still had a tough battle to fight today but before she entered the palace, she wanted to see Hua Zhou Wuyou.
Seeing that Hua Zhou Wuyou was about to go to Qi Manor, GongYimo was a little reluctant. She purposely waited until Gong Dai's morning court assembly before sneaking off to Qi Manor.
Compared to the other princesses' grand procession, GongYimo's departure was rather low-key. Her martial prowess was high so the Princess Manor's housekeeper naturally turned a blind eye and let her do as she pleased.
Hence, she wore a scarf and headed to Qi Manor. However, before she could approach the entrance, she was stopped by two guards!
"What are you doing here?!"
GongYimo lifted the veil of her scarf and smiled at them, "Do I need to announce my entry?"
When the two guards saw that it was GongYimo, they hurriedly bowed, "This subordinate did not know that the Princess had arrived. This subordinate deserves to die!"
They then said, "His Highness has instructed that no matter when, as long as you are here, you can directly enter without needing to seek permission from anyone! This subordinate will now bring you to Lord Bai! "
"Mm."
GongYimo nodded. Indeed, she needed Bai Sheng to lead the way.
When Bai Sheng heard that GongYimo had arrived, he was first stunned before he became ecstatic! He hurriedly came out to welcome her!
GongYimo did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of her visit. Without another word, Bai Sheng brought her to Qi Manor's most mysterious dungeon, which was also Qi Manor's forbidden area!
On the way, as GongYimo looked around, Bai Sheng told her about the things that had happened in the past few years. Qi Manor had changed a lot and many places had been designed with ingenuity. It was even more comfortable to live in than her Princess Manor!
However, there was a sentry every five steps and a guard every ten steps. It made one feel that the atmosphere in the manor was very oppressive. Those solemn imperial guards gave off a somber feeling for no reason!
Furthermore, throughout the entire manor, she did not see a single woman!
Gong Dai … he was really different from her previous life …
Soon, they arrived at the dungeon.
This dungeon had only been built a few years ago and was set up under the fake mountain. Many people who were inconvenient to be locked up in Zhao Prison would be moved here. It was very close to where Gong Dai lived.
After going down, Gong Yi Mo felt a chill in the air. She had a hunch that many people had died here.
Hua Zhou Wuyou was considered a very important person, so she was locked up in the innermost part of the dungeon. When GongYimo arrived, she was resting with her eyes closed and her legs crossed. It was as if this was not a dungeon, but an altar. As expected of Lou Ye's goddess. GongYimo thought of an idea and smiled wickedly.
Hua Zhou Wuyou heard the sound and opened his eyes. The moment he saw GongYimo, his eyes flashed with hostility!
"It's you!"
She pursed her lips slightly. She was a little annoyed that she met GongYimo under such circumstances.
She thought that she was much more noble than GongYimo. She was Lou Ye's only goddess, while GongYimo was just a pitiful princess who had been beaten to a commoner. Therefore, the moment they met should have been when GongYimo had failed in her restoration and was carrying an ominous name like a stray dog. At that time, Hua Zhou Wuyou would have helped her like a god, showing the difference between the two of them.
Yes, although Hua Zhou Wuyou hated GongYimo, she also recognized GongYimo's talent and wanted to take her for her own use.
Not now, when she was in the dungeon and at the mercy of others.
"What are you doing here?" Hua Zhou Wuyou harrumphed. She was arrogant. Even if she was now a prisoner, she did not have to worry because her cousin was now in Dai Yu State. She was not afraid of GongYimo.
GongYimo walked in and smiled. "I heard that you are very knowledgeable about the mysteries of heaven and earth. Then, did you predict that you would fall into my hands?"
Hua Zhou Wuyou pursed her lips. Her tricks were actually just a little knowledge of the weather and feng shui. It was not much at all. However, because her family had a high status in Lou Ye and she knew how to run a business, she was regarded as a legend by the commoners.
Seeing that Hua Zhou Wuyou did not answer, GongYimo was amused. She smiled, revealing her white teeth. "Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm just here to ask, why did you attack me that day?"
Hua Zhou Wuyou harrumphed and ignored her.
GongYimo touched her chin and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm a threat and want to get rid of me?"
However, when she thought about how Cang Xiu had been stalling for time that day and did not kill her from the start, she said, "Or, do you want me to be unable to return to my position and be labeled as an inauspicious person? Then, you will attack me and make me work for you?"
She guessed the main point immediately. This made Hua Zhou Wuyou hate this woman even more.
She stood up suddenly. "So what if I am? So what if I'm not?"
She opened her eyes and looked at GongYimo. She realized that the other party was really beautiful! At this point, she couldn't help but feel jealous. No wonder … Last night, Gong Jue went to look for her and was willing to buy her snacks. He even stood by her side and patiently taught the boss how to roast them. She liked it even more …
GongYimo narrowed her eyes slightly. She sensed that Hua Zhou Wuyou was suddenly angry and emotionally unstable. She laughed mischievously and looked very harmless.
"If you are, then let me continue to guess … The reason why your Hua Zhou family has such a high status in Lou Ye is because your family is the stable hand of the government. Almost half of Lou Ye's famous horses come from your family, right?
Then … you came to look for me because of my relationship with the Second Prince of Yuheng? You want me to work for you and help you build a bridge so that Lou Ye and Yuheng can trade through the land route? I think this should be your cousin Long Cheng Wuji's idea. Once your family succeeds, you will be able to gain a lot of benefits … But this matter should be done by your biological brother! You … sneaked out, right? "
Hua Zhou Wuyou's pupils shrank and she suddenly felt a little scared!
She had never thought that a woman like GongYimo would have such a powerful vision and analytical ability. She had only eavesdropped on her brother and cousin's plan. That was why she sneaked out and planned it step by step. She wanted to make a contribution and share her cousin's burden.
But GongYimo was an outsider. Without eavesdropping, she could actually guess their secret plan so clearly! It was really frightening!
No matter how powerful Hua Zhou Wuyou was, in the end, she was just a goddess with limited vision. She was good at scheming and managing the harem, but when it came to the world, how could she compare to a little fox like Gong Yi Mo?
It was not difficult to guess all these. The difficult part was to be open-minded.
Seeing that Hua Zhou Wuyou was shocked and angry, GongYimo lowered her voice and asked at the right time.
"But from what I know, your family doesn't have many horses, right? Two years ago, many of them died because of the plague. Now, I'm afraid they are not as good as Baiji's family. With such a big appetite, can you eat them all? "
