Meanwhile, in the faraway Dai Yu state.
A bloody storm had just subsided.
The Long family had been overthrown. With Li Ke's testimony and material evidence, Gong Dai had uprooted them!
After all, this was treason. Once they succeeded in killing the little princess, it was likely to cause a war between the two countries! Just this crime alone was enough to make the Emperor furious! He directly put Long Xiangxiang under house arrest and handed the Long family over to Gong Dai to deal with.
And the result was naturally to eliminate the source of the problem!
Gong Dai was walking along the long waterside corridor when he suddenly stopped.
Last time, he had poured out his heart to the Royal Sister here. He wondered how she was doing in Lou Ye.
Now that he had signed an agreement with Yuheng and started to trade, it would not be long before the bank became the lifeline of the country!
His power … had once again expanded.
Now that his people had gone to Yu Qi, if he could join forces with Yu Qi, then he would be the first person to open up a channel between the three countries. His shops would also be the first to openly enter another country!
It has to be said that this was what GongYimo had in mind.
But … this was not what he wanted.
The cool wind from the waterside pavilion blew, causing his eyebrows to wrinkle slightly. His long black robe was indescribably lonely.
He wanted to be with the Royal Sister forever. He wanted the Royal Sister to not have anyone else in her eyes. The country, the people … there was only him.
At this time, someone came up behind him.
Gong Jue was alert. He turned around and saw Gong Che dressed in white with a fox fur coat draped over his shoulder.
At this time, he was looking at the waterside pavilion outside the corridor, slightly lost in thought.
After toppling the Long Family, the Liu Family took advantage of the opportunity to switch sides to the Crown Prince's camp. Only then did Liu Xian Fei save herself from the fate of being killed by Gong Jue. Now, Liu Xian Fei was afraid of Gong Jue. She was afraid that he would come to avenge his mother's death!
It could be said that in the entire Dai Yu State, there were only two powers: Gong Dai and Gong Che.
Gong Dai had said that he had no intention of becoming the Emperor. Logically speaking, there should not be any conflict between the two of them. However, they stood opposite each other, as if they were separated by an abyss of fury, so close yet so far apart.
"I heard that Imperial Brother is getting married. Congratulations."
Gong Dai smiled faintly. His eyes were cold, and even when he smiled, there was a hint of perfunctoriness. Gong Che, on the other hand, seemed to be on the other end of the spectrum. His entire person exuded gentleness. At this moment, his hand reached out to the corridor, holding a branch of a plum tree. This flower was enchanting, and if it could be pinned to Mo 'er's hair, it would be wonderful.
"Wedding?" Gong Che's face slowly brightened. It was unknown what he thought of, but his entire person was radiant.
"Last time, you told Imperial Father that if you married Lou Ye's most favored Princess, he was afraid that your heart would change and you would covet something that didn't belong to you. Imperial Father believed you and didn't force you to marry the Princess. Today, he is choosing a girl from a scholarly family of the right age for you.
Gong Dai's face darkened. He really didn't say anything when he didn't see eye to eye with him.
Therefore, he turned around to leave. There was still a large group of Long Clan's women waiting to be dealt with in Zhao Prison. The cries of these women were the most annoying.
"Wait."
Gong Che suddenly called out to him. Gong Dai stopped, but he didn't turn around.
"Gong Dai, you and I both know that it is impossible for us not to marry. With our status, not marrying will only bring harm to her."
In front of Gong Dai, Gong Che didn't need to pretend. He just loved GongYimo! He loved her to the point of humility … … But he could pretend in front of GongYimo to get close to her, but he didn't want to pretend in front of his love rival.
Gong Dai sneered, "Is that so?"
Gong Che took a step forward, "As long as you don't marry, Imperial Father's suspicions on her will not disappear. Do you think that Imperial Father really didn't feel anything about the farce on the Sky Stairway last time?"
Gong Dai was silent. He naturally noticed this, and so did the Royal Sister. She was so anxious to leave and the Emperor didn't stop her. It was all because of this.
But what could he do? He just loved her! He just wanted her! He didn't want to marry. No one deserved to be connected to his name! He … … only belonged to the Royal Sister.
Thinking like this, he didn't want to listen anymore. Gong Che wanted to protect the Royal Sister, that was his business. But marriage? He didn't agree.
"Don't you want to have her?"
Gong Dai stopped again because of Gong Che's words. He narrowed his eyes and couldn't leave anymore.
He wanted the Royal Sister too much, so much that … … his heart ached. But on one hand, there was a barrier in her heart. On the other hand, she cared about what people said. It was so difficult to have her!
Gong Che's chest rose and fell slightly. But he had already made up his mind. As long as he could have her, nothing else mattered! So he continued.
"Mo'er's nature is free and unrestrained. Although she's a girl, she has ambitions. More and more people will peep at her beauty and be subdued by her skirt. And you're so sure that she won't like any of them?"
Was he sure?
Gong Dai's hands clenched into fists under his sleeves. He worked hard to become strong, just to be the most outstanding one. But … … what if the Royal Sister fell in love with someone else in the process?
No! He couldn't accept it!
At that moment, Gong Dai's eyes flashed with deep hostility. Just thinking about it made him want to kill! Kill all the men who peeped at her!
And Gong Che didn't feel good either. When they were young, Gong Dai went to Xi Zhou. He was the only one by Mo'er's side. She only had eyes for him. She lived in a place where he could touch her. Her ears were always filled with strange voices.
But her growth was so fast, much faster than them, the so-called proud sons of heaven! He wanted to have her so much, but she was getting harder and harder to control. Now that she didn't have any romantic feelings for him, he could only endure it when he wanted to get close to her. If this went on, he could forget about having her for the rest of his life!
"What do you want?"
Gong Dai finally turned around. He wanted to hear what Gong Che wanted to do.
Gong Che looked at him with a smile, but the tenderness in his eyes was a feeling that even he couldn't suppress.
He endured too much and was too tired. He didn't expect that he could only completely relax in front of Gong Dai and express his naked feelings for Mo'er. It was heavy, sweet, and painful, but he was willing to do it.
"Now you are the most powerful prince in Dai Yu state. I am also the Crown Prince who has won the hearts of the people. In the future, if you are willing, when I become the Emperor, you can be the Prince Regent!"
Gong Dai didn't care about this. He only wanted to know what Gong Che wanted to do.
Gong Che licked his lips. His eyes were filled with undisguised passion.
"Mo'er is already 17. She's a big girl now …"
His words touched Gong Dai's nerves. It made him feel more and more threatened.
Gong Che looked at him and said slowly, "But she is growing too fast. If you want to keep her, you and I can only work together …"
At this point, he bit his lip. He seemed to have made up his mind.
"If you are willing … why can't we have her together?"
