In Yuheng Kingdom.
Kim Yoon's ascension to the throne was basically what everyone expected, especially now that all the opponents had been eliminated, so the entire Yuheng Kingdom was very lively, showing that it was thriving.
Tomorrow was the ascension ceremony, and most of the guests had arrived, but Kim Yoon had been waiting for GongYimo, so when he saw that there was still no news from her, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He even wondered if he should change the date.
At this moment, the sound of porcelain shattering woke Kim Yoon up. He looked helplessly at his mother, Yun Jin, who was now the Empress Dowager, and sighed.
"Mother, it's only three years of fasting. This is already the lightest punishment, why are you still angry?"
Yun Jin killed Jin Sheng with her own hands. Even if GongYimo forced her to do so, no one knew GongYimo, only Yun Jin, so she was bound to be charged with murdering her husband!
When Kim Yoon came back, An Of Silla used this point to criticize him in order to rise to the throne. He said that Yun Jin killed her husband because she felt guilty, because Kim Yoon wasn't the Emperor's child.
Now, although An Of Silla and the others had been defeated, Kim Yoon became the Emperor, and Yun Jin became the Empress Dowager, those old fogeys in the court still couldn't agree with Yun Jin's way of doing things. They thought that Yun Jin should be fasting for the late Emperor and worship Buddha for the rest of her life! It was Kim Yoon who insisted that Yun Jin be allowed to stay in the Imperial Mausoleum for three years. Otherwise, it would be immoral and unworthy of being the Empress Dowager.
Yun Jin didn't want to do that!
Now that her son was the Emperor, it was her time to shine. Why did she have to abstain from fasting? Why did she have to stay in the Imperial Mausoleum? Just to get the approval of those old fogeys in the court? So what if she didn't go?
Besides, she wasn't the only one who killed Jin Sheng back then. Why did they come looking for trouble with her? Wasn't it because they were afraid of GongYimo and thought that she was easy to bully?
"I won't go!" Yun Jin's attitude was firm.
"No." Kim Yoon shook his head. "After the coronation, I will send you there. Mother, please don't make things difficult for me!"
In fact, the reason why Kim Yoon was so determined to send Yun Jin away was not because he felt guilty towards Jin Sheng, nor was it to shut the mouths of those old officials.
It was because Yun Jin had been too absurd in the past half year. She seemed to have spent all her energy on men and was unable to resist those handsome and gentle men. In the past, she had only done it secretly, but now she was doing it openly!
Although outsiders didn't know about this, Kim Yoon knew that he couldn't hide the truth. So he wanted to send Yun Jin away before the matter got out of hand. Then he could get rid of those men and kill two birds with one stone.
Seeing that Kim Yoon was so determined and that he was indifferent to her for so long, Yun Jin gritted her teeth and had no choice but to tell him the real reason.
"I can't go to the Imperial Mausoleum."
Her voice became softer and softer as she looked at her lower abdomen, revealing a troubled expression.
"Because I … have a child."
This was simply a bolt from the blue! Jin Sheng had only been dead for half a year and she was actually pregnant?
Kim Yoon turned pale with fright! He stood up from his seat with a bang! He looked left and right. Fortunately, everyone had been dismissed. Otherwise, he would have to silence her with murder for this kind of scandal!
Yun Jin saw that Kim Yoon was staring at her with wide eyes. It seemed to be the first time he was so surprised and fierce. He stared at her as if he couldn't wait to give her a beating!
Kim Yoon took a deep breath. "Imperial Mother! Do you know what you're doing? "
Yun Jin was stunned by the roar. She wasn't very sure herself, but her period had always been punctual. It was already ten days late, so it seemed that it couldn't be wrong.
Because Kim Yoon had been busy with the ascension of the throne, this matter had been kept secret for so long.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Kim Yoon's gloomy gaze fell on Yun Jin's lower abdomen. He squeezed out two words from between his teeth. "Whose?!"
Yun Jin shrunk her neck. "It's … Wang Jing."
Kim Yoon closed his eyes. Damn you, Wang Jing! That overwhelming hatred couldn't be suppressed!
At this moment, his confidant walked over. As if he didn't see the stalemate between mother and son, he happily whispered something into Kim Yoon's ear.
"Your Highness, Dai Yu State's Princess Gu Guo and Dai Yu State's Prince Qi have arrived. Should we immediately announce their arrival?"
Kim Yoon's eyes lit up, then he glared fiercely at Yun Jin.
"See them!"
But before he left, he ordered people to surround the entire Empress Dowager's Palace. No one was allowed to enter!
Only then did he go to the main hall to receive the guests.
Mo 'er … They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year! But he almost forgot that GongYimo … she didn't come alone …
Therefore, when Kim Yoon saw Gong Dai, his expression couldn't turn around for a moment. However, Gong Dai didn't look at him. The two of them exchanged glances and then looked away.
GongYimo called out, "Kim Yoon gege!"
Her voice was clear and filled with joy. They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. At the age of eighteen, she was like a flower bud that had just bloomed. With just one look, Kim Yoon couldn't take his eyes off her.
Kim Yoon was also a beautiful person. Now, his nobility had deepened. He couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as he was in the past!
When GongYimo saw him, her greeting strangely turned into a compliment!
"After not seeing each other for half a year, Kim Yoon gege has become even more magnificent!"
Kim Yoon was rather uncomfortable. This was what he wanted to say but didn't dare to say. He didn't expect Mo 'er to say it first.
On the other hand, Gong Dai was unhappy when he heard this. Although Royal Sister didn't mean anything other than a compliment, he didn't look bad either … Why didn't Royal Sister praise him like this when they met …
Kim Yoon glanced at Gong Dai intentionally or unintentionally. Then, he focused on chatting with GongYimo. However, after reminiscing about the past, Kim Yoon couldn't help but let out a long sigh and asked GongYimo to ask.
"What's wrong?"
Kim Yoon shook his head. If it was just GongYimo, he might have said it directly. However, there was also Gong Dai. He didn't want his love rival to laugh at him.
However, GongYimo was very smart. She guessed it almost immediately.
"But your mother?"
Kim Yoon nodded. GongYimo thought so too. Now that Kim Yoon had great power in Yuheng, there was almost nothing to worry about. The only thing that could trouble him was Yun Jin.
However, what did Yun Jin have that could trouble him? She suddenly thought of the time when she left Yuheng for Lou Ye. In the end, Yun Jin was crying in Wang Jing's arms. She suddenly had a strange association and said it out loud.
"She can't be …" GongYimo's gaze fell on Kim Yoon's abdomen. This suggestive gaze made Kim Yoon's face turn red! Finally, he nodded.
It was true!
GongYimo was stunned! She didn't expect Yun Jin to be so bold! Jin Sheng had only been dead for half a year, right? She probably couldn't die in peace now!
On the other hand, Gong Dai didn't understand because GongYimo was facing him sideways. He couldn't see GongYimo's gaze. However, seeing that the two of them didn't say anything and could communicate with just a glance, Gong Dai felt more and more unhappy. He felt that Kim Yoon had unknowingly snatched away his exclusive!
