"I … I shouldn't have humiliated you … I shouldn't, I shouldn't have sent my guards to offend you! Please forgive me, Princess! I … I drank wine! "
GongYimo pursed her lips and smiled.
"You should have?"
And!
Dong Ji's face turned red! Even Dong Luanyi, who was standing at the side, kept waving her fan. She felt that GongYimo was deliberately humiliating her!
She had to look at the owner before beating the dog. What did she mean?
Was she unhappy with her?
Dong Luanyi secretly gritted her teeth. Previously, she had ignored GongYimo and forced Si Wuyan to kill someone in front of her. She wanted to tell GongYimo that Si Wuyan was not a good partner to work with. Yu Qi was her world! But now, GongYimo had forced her to hand over her own nephew and humiliated him again and again. It was a ruthless slap to her own face!
Dong Ji had never suffered such humiliation. Although he was kneeling on the ground, the muscles on his face were trembling. He wanted to bite GongYimo to death.
"I don't know how I have offended you!"
He straightened his body. His small eyes were filled with ferocity as he stared at GongYimo. "Please enlighten me, Princess."
GongYimo smiled lightly.
"As a subject, you didn't respect the Emperor and offended your superiors. Isn't that a crime?"
Si Wuyan was stunned. The smile on his face suddenly turned serious. He looked at GongYimo with a cold and complicated gaze.
GongYimo didn't care and said again.
"As an official, you humiliated a woman on the street and bullied the people. Isn't that a crime?"
The woman beside GongYimo couldn't hold it in anymore and cried out loudly! She had suffered too much today. Those high and mighty people all treated human lives as grass. Even His Majesty had almost killed her. She didn't expect that the one who saved her in the end was the princess from the neighboring country.
"You're a member of the royal family, yet you don't lead by example. Instead, you keep making mistakes. Even now, you still don't know where you've gone wrong. Forgive me for being blunt, but your apology is insincere. I won't accept it!"
After she finished speaking, everyone was stunned. There was no other reason. When GongYimo said those words, although her expression was cold, the righteousness that burst out in an instant made everyone present feel ashamed of themselves!
GongYimo looked straight at Dong Luanyi and bowed in front of her.
"My words were rude. If I have offended you, I hope the Empress Dowager can forgive me! In addition, please allow me to pay my respects to you. Long live the Empress Dowager. I am Princess GongYimo from Dai Yu State. Please take care of me in the future! "
After bowing, she stood up with a calm attitude.
However, Dong Luanyi sat up straight and stared at her in silence.
Their gazes collided. One was angry, one was calm. One was sharp, and the other was calm. It was just a moment of eye contact, but it seemed as if sparks were flying!
After a while, Dong Luanyi sneered, "I didn't expect the famous Princess of Gu State to be a saint!"
GongYimo didn't deny it and smiled broadly.
"Sometimes, after being a villain for too long, it's inevitable that I want to change my taste. Unfortunately, I've wanted to be a saint since I was young!"
No one could ignore the weight of her words. Today's scene made Dong Luanyi very vigilant!
She originally wanted to show her power to GongYimo, an outsider, but who knew that not only would she be ruthlessly slapped in the face, but she would also stand on the side of righteousness!
It seemed that this Princess of Dai Yu State wasn't an easy bone to chew. She was very fierce in her bones, but on the surface, she had the appearance that those sanctimonious ministers liked the most.
This kind of woman had to be guarded against.
After a long while, the Empress Dowager gave an order. All the imperial guards began to retreat in an orderly manner, as if they were ready to let this matter pass.
Before Dong Luanyi left, she glanced at GongYimo and smiled ambiguously. "Since the Princess has the heart, I'll leave my good-for-nothing son to you. Of course, if you want to talk to me and be my companion, I'm very welcome."
GongYimo and Si Wuyan bowed at the same time.
"Farewell, Empress Dowager."
GongYimo's stubbornness angered Dong Luanyi. "Very good, Princess … take care of yourself!"
With that, she really left.
After everyone left, GongYimo sighed in relief and glanced at the girl by her feet.
"Go home."
Unexpectedly, the girl was smart. She grabbed GongYimo's leg and shook her head repeatedly. "No … Princess, I've offended the Empress Dowager and will definitely die a horrible death. I can't go home, or else I'll implicate my parents … If the Princess doesn't mind, please accept me as your servant!"
GongYimo had a headache and signaled to Si Wuyan to handle it. Si Wuyan handed the girl to Gu Se and the two of them boarded the carriage again.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
After a while, Si Wuyan suddenly sneered. "You must think that I'm very useless. You must be mocking me in your heart! You must think that I'm really useless as the Emperor … "
As he said this, the red on his body seemed to dim.
But what could he do? At the beginning of the division, half of the court officials were on the Empress Dowager's side and the other half were neutral. There were not many people who supported him. They looked down on his background and did not believe him. They thought that it was the Empress Dowager's scheme!
In the end, he had to work with General Jade Face to win the loyalty of a few old officials. Only then could he establish himself.
However, half of the imperial guards were in the hands of the Empress Dowager and the other half was in the hands of the Empress Dowager's trusted person. This was the most troublesome part for him, so he had always been cautious. The Empress Dowager had many eyes and ears in the imperial city.
GongYimo looked at him from head to toe.
"You're quite useless. After four years, you're still so passive."
Si Wuyan was not convinced that she did not know how to speak!
She did not know how difficult his situation was at that time. At the beginning, he could not even leave the palace! Now he had people and soldiers under his command. It was just that he did not have as many as the Empress Dowager. How could he be useless! It was just that it was difficult to be in the imperial city!
GongYimo looked out of the window and said faintly, "If I were you, I wouldn't expose myself so early! I would investigate those officials who are loyal to the Empress Dowager. "
Si Wuyan sneered. Did he not investigate? It was just that he did not have enough manpower and could not find any evidence.
GongYimo continued.
"Then I would plan to send those good-looking sons to the Empress Dowager's bed …"
Si Wuyan was stunned. He did not understand what GongYimo was saying for a long time …
GongYimo saw his silly look and sighed. "Is it difficult to drug them and send them to the Empress Dowager's bed? There are so many people in a family. You can't touch the direct descendants, but you can also touch the concubine's children! Many people are eager to get close to the Empress Dowager. Why not?
Moreover, these people are not official yet. The Empress Dowager has never seen them. She would think that you are filial to her! I think you have done this kind of thing before … "
Wasn't this too mean?
Si Wuyan felt as if the door to a new world had been opened for him. He looked at GongYimo with burning eyes.
Why didn't he think of using this trick in the beginning? Women were indeed sinister! It was impossible to guard against!
