Gong Yi Mo was drenched by the rain halfway through her journey. She was somewhat depressed as she hid under a big tree, looking in the direction of the capital.
Gong Che … he should be married by now. Why did she feel uneasy? It was as if someone was drumming beside her ear, making her feel uneasy.
What was the reason for her uneasiness?
Was it the look in his eyes at the end, or the words "beyond redemption"?
At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. The rain seemed to have gotten heavier!
Under the tree, GongYimo reached out to catch the rainwater. She looked at the chaos between heaven and earth. Her expression was bleak. She suddenly felt a little lost about the future.

In the capital, Gong Dai did not take a sedan. Instead, he rode a horse to the capital. He was drenched by the rain, but his eyes were looking straight ahead, as if he did not feel anything.
The people on both sides of the street quickly packed up their stalls and went back. They were still cursing. It was such a good day, but the heavens were not on their side. Otherwise, they could have made a lot of money on this joyous day.
Gong Dai's black clothes clung to his body. On the way, he met the person announcing the imperial edict. The Emperor ordered him to attend the banquet immediately.
The horse stopped. He looked at the eunuch coldly. The eunuch kneeled on the street and did not dare to raise his head for a long time.
The heavy rain was mixed with his cold voice.
"But what happened?"
The eunuch did not dare to raise his head. In the rain, he said loudly, "This … Your Highness will know when you get there!"
After all, they were on the street. If this matter was spread by his mouth, the Marquis would not let him go!
Gong Dai curled his lips. He looked in the direction of the capital and smiled coldly. He was a little curious …
On the other side, a large group of people in the palace were drenched. There was no other reason. It was because the Crown Prince was walking too slowly. Did they want to pass the Crown Prince and leave first?
They could only endure it!
Gong Che seemed to be enjoying the baptism of the rain. The rain was turbulent and fell from his face to his chin. It was wet to the bone, but it made him feel extremely warm.
His long black hair was wet. Strands of it stuck to the side of his face. His wedding robes were the color of coagulated blood. They hung close to his body.
He closed his eyes and suddenly stopped.
The surrounding people were angry, but they didn't dare to say anything. Su Miaolan, who had been following behind him, was even more miserable. Her makeup was completely ruined. Needless to say, after today, she would become the laughingstock of the entire city!
But now that things had come to this, she had no other choice. She had to marry the Crown Prince, only then would she have the chance to wash away today's humiliation!
As she thought of this, she gloomily looked at the crown prince in front of her. One day, she would make the crown prince beg her to love him!
Now that the Crown Prince had stopped, she had no choice but to stop as well. She prayed in her heart that he wouldn't cause any more trouble at this final juncture.
"Your Highness … what's wrong?"
Someone braced himself and asked. The rain continued to wash his face, blurring his vision. He didn't even dare to wipe it away, because he could already feel Gong Che's cold gaze staring at him.
"Nothing." Gong Che's angry voice sounded, "It's just that Ninth Brother and I have a deep brotherly relationship. He hasn't arrived yet, so how can I leave first? I want to wait for him! "
In such a heavy rain, you're the Crown Prince, why would you wait for a prince?!
Everyone went crazy. Behind them, Emperor Gong rushed over in a palanquin. In the end, he saw this group of people standing on the palace road instead of leaving. He couldn't help but have a headache. What kind of trouble is Gong Che trying to cause?
Chang Xi went to ask and came back, trembling with fear, "His Highness said … His Highness said that he wants to wait for Prince Qi to arrive so that we can leave together …"
After Chang Xi finished speaking, he thought that Emperor Gong would be furious. But after a while, he actually heard Emperor Gong's laughter.
Could it be that he was too stimulated that he went crazy?!
"Hahahaha …" Emperor Gong laughed. He looked at the pouring rain outside with a sneer on his face, "Che is right. Gong Dai, this child, is becoming more and more disobedient. On such an important day, he didn't know to come earlier. If you want to wait, then wait together!"
When the Emperor said this, everyone kept quiet out of fear. They really all waited in the heavy rain.
On such a joyous day, a pair of newlyweds, plus the Emperor, waiting for a prince together, this … What does this mean?
Are they looking for trouble with Gong Dai?
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Many people were a little angry with Gong Dai!
This Prince Qi is really too much. On such a day, what is he doing? Why hasn't he come yet? Does he even put the Emperor and the Crown Prince in his eyes?
Su Miaolan hated Gong Dai even more! She resentfully looked in the direction she came from. She felt that this was definitely the most humiliating road she had ever walked in her life.
When Gong Dai arrived, he saw such a scene. Everyone was waiting for him, including the Emperor.
His expression froze. He strode to the Emperor and asked for forgiveness. After a long time, the Emperor sneered.
"Do you still put me in your eyes?"
The Emperor was in the palanquin and didn't show his face. Gong Dai stood in the rain. His whole back was straight, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Please forgive me, Imperial Father!"
Gong Cheng snorted, "There's no need to ask me for forgiveness. Today is the Crown Prince's wedding, but the Crown Prince has been waiting for you in the rain for a long time. You might as well go find the Crown Prince and Crown Princess and ask for forgiveness!"
Gong Dai's eyes slightly narrowed. He was stunned for a moment, then finally smiled.
"This son obeys the decree!"
Then he walked in front of the Crown Prince. Everyone spontaneously stepped aside, leaving the two standing opposite each other.
For a long time, the relationship between the two had been very cold. However, they had cooperated a lot. After all, Gong Dai wanted to borrow Gong Che's waterway to do business. Sometimes, Gong Che would also let Gong Dai deal with his political enemies. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, although the two of them didn't get along, it wasn't as obvious as now.
Under everyone's gaze, Gong Dai first bowed and asked for forgiveness, "I have made Imperial Brother wait for so long. This is Imperial Brother's fault. Please forgive me."
"Where have you been?" Gong Che looked coldly at Gong Dai and said his first sentence.
Gong Dai straightened up and smiled coldly, "I sent someone out of the capital, then went back."
Gong Che smiled, "It seems that Imperial Brother has a lot of opinions about Imperial Brother. Otherwise, why would you be late even on Imperial Brother's wedding day?"
This matter could be said to be big or small. If Gong Che laughed it off, he could pretend that nothing happened. However, if Gong Che wanted to pursue the matter, this would be a crime of great disrespect!
Gong Dai looked at the silent crowd and said softly.
"How could it be? Speaking of this matter, it is indeed Imperial Brother's fault. Later, Imperial Brother will offer a generous gift to express my apology! "
"No need for a generous gift." Gong Che shook his head childishly, then grinned at Gong Dai.
"In the past, whenever I did something wrong, the Grand Tutor would whip me. Today, since Imperial Brother has done something wrong, shouldn't you do the same?"
At this moment, Gong Dai raised his eyebrows slightly, "You want to whip me?"
Here, now?
Gong Che smiled faintly, "Why not?"
