Chang Xi turned pale with fright! His Majesty's intention … was to kill the princess?
His mouth opened and closed. He knew that as a servant, he shouldn't say anything, but he still couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty … you can't … you can't … the princess, she is innocent!"
"Innocent?" Emperor Gong sneered, "So what if she is innocent? Both of my sons like her, and that is her sin! "
When he said this, his tone was faint, without the slightest emotion. At this time, he was just an iron-blooded emperor, not a father looking at the problem.
Admittedly, there were many ways to solve this matter, but he knew his two sons too well. They didn't look alike, but in fact, they had a lot of similarities in character. They were both persistent and monopolistic people!
Only GongYimo's death was the best solution. Moreover, she couldn't be killed, it was best to die silently. In this way, even if Gong Che and Gong Dai had a lot of grievances, they couldn't do anything. Could it be that they could resurrect the dead?
"But … but …"
Chang Xi was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He had lived for so many years and had always been loyal and devoted to the emperor, but the princess was also a child he liked very much! Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone against his principles to hide it from the emperor and directly told him. But he didn't expect that today's matter would happen. Could it be that killing the princess could only solve it?
Emperor Gong sat on a stone by the river and began to seriously think about this problem.
"Death by poison seems too obvious. It's easy to be caught, but I know a kind of poison. After taking it, one's vitality will gradually disappear within a month. There's no antidote, and there's no trace of it …"
Chang Xi was about to cry. His Majesty really wanted to kill, he even thought of "brown poison" …
"Or kick out two scapegoats. In any case, Mo 'er has offended a lot of people over the years. Create an accident and let Mo' er die an unnatural death, and then let someone else take the blame."
Emperor Gong Cheng used a very normal and calm tone to say these words, but Chang Xi was alarmed. He suddenly straightened up and mustered up his courage to look at the Emperor. He asked seriously.
"Your Majesty … Can you bear to do that?!"
Was he willing to kill GongYimo? Don't you feel heartache?
Chang Xi's words interrupted all of Gong Cheng's thoughts! In that instant, Chang Xi was certain that he saw an emotion called struggle on the Emperor's face. His face alternated between gloominess and pain, as if he was changing his face. But in the end, he looked at Long Tenghe and slowly spoke.
"What's there to be reluctant about? For the sake of the Dai Yu State … For the sake of the people, I cannot … I cannot allow them to act recklessly for the sake of a woman and cause misery and suffering! "
As soon as he said that, no matter how much Chang Xi wanted to say, he could only hold it in. He knew very well that compared to the country, one person was too insignificant. Even GongYimo could not compare.
"I'll leave this matter to you." Emperor Gong Cheng finally made a decision. "I want the 'Brown Poison' tomorrow! You can't let anyone know about this. Otherwise, you can die! "
Chang Xi's heart ached, and he lowered his head.
"This servant … obeys the decree!"
GongYimo had a good sleep. When she woke up, she found herself in Taiji Palace. Strange … it was so late last night, why did Crown Prince brother send her to the palace? GongYimo rubbed her eyebrows. Because of the hangover, she couldn't remember everything that happened last night.
At this time, she felt an itch on her hand. When she looked, it turned out to be the monkey!
Because it was wild and hard to tame, GongYimo chained it to the side of the bed, leaving it nowhere to go. When it saw GongYimo wake up, it squeaked. Its human-like eyes showed anger, as if it was very dissatisfied with GongYimo's cold treatment.
GongYimo looked at it and then untied the shackles on its feet. Once it was free, it immediately clawed at GongYimo. However, GongYimo caught its claws and pressed it on the bed, unable to move!
"Little thing, you better behave. My temper is very good, but if you annoy me, I don't mind eating raw monkey brains!"
She knew that this fellow was intelligent and could understand her words. Sure enough, when she said that, the monkey's strength to struggle lessened. A typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
GongYimo smiled and said, "You can also leave here. But in a place like the palace, there's no lack of bad people. When the time comes, you'll be captured. It's good enough to raise you, but I'm afraid that you'll be captured and killed. You won't even know how you died.
I advise you to be obedient in my hands. At least, I'll give you three meals a day. "
The monkey seemed to understand her words. It turned its head with difficulty to look at GongYimo, as if it wanted to beg for mercy. GongYimo released her hand and let it go. This time, it didn't make a fuss. Instead, it sat obediently on the bed, looking very obedient.
At this moment, the palace servants came in. When the aunty in charge saw that the little monkey was so obedient, she said, "Princess is really capable. It became obedient the moment you came. It was so fierce yesterday and didn't let anyone get close to it."
GongYimo glanced at the little monkey and smiled, "Is that so? In the future, if it doesn't listen to you, just beat it. It'll become obedient after a lot of beating. "
Her words made the little monkey protest softly. It turned around and faced her with its butt, ignoring her!
This scene made the aunty in charge laugh, "It's really an intelligent little thing. Princess, have you given it a name?"
GongYimo looked at the color of its fur, "Let's call it Little Grey."
In response, the monkey jumped up and clawed at her!
GongYimo didn't want to spoil it. She slapped it on the bed and asked softly, "Did something happen in the palace?"
This was a question that GongYimo would ask every day when she got up. Therefore, the person who came to help her wash up every day was the aunty in charge.
The aunty in charge thought for a moment and said, "There really is something. During the morning court today, His Majesty lost his temper. Many people were severely reprimanded by His Majesty. I don't know why, but the court just ended."
When she said this, GongYimo's expression became serious and she pondered.
Most of the time, Emperor Gong didn't show his emotions. She didn't know what happened to make him so angry.
On the other side, a first rank official walked beside Gong Dai and asked him the same question in a low voice.
"Wangye, what do you think His Majesty today … … What did he mean?" He was also one of the officials who was reprimanded today. He always felt flustered and uneasy.
Gong Dai wore a black official robe and walked at the front of the group leaving the palace. At this time, the court just ended. But because of the Emperor's evil temper, everyone was scared and didn't dare to speak.
"It's enough to do your duty. You don't need to think about other things." Gong Dai said coldly. When the man heard this, he quickly said yes and didn't dare to speak again.
Gong Dai left him and strode out of the palace.
Today, the Emperor's anger wasn't directed at anyone, but Gong Dai felt that this matter wasn't simple.
As soon as he left the palace, Bai Sheng came to greet him. He was a little strange. Why was the morning court so long?
"Quickly go and investigate something."
Seeing his Wangye's serious expression, Bai Sheng quickly responded.
"Please give me your orders, Wangye."
Gong Dai was silent for a moment. He originally wanted Bai Sheng to investigate if the people who were reprimanded today had any private contact. But when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he changed his mind.
"– Go and find out where Chang Xi went."
