Gong Dai looked at GongYimo worriedly. GongYimo motioned for him to calm down and walked in herself.
Zhaoyang Hall's unique Ambergris fragrance hit her in the face. She took a deep breath and walked in.
The moment the two people looked at each other, Gong Cheng and GongYimo were silent.
Gong Cheng thought he would be angry, but the moment he saw her, he found that he couldn't get angry at all. Was it her fault that Mo 'er was excellent? What was wrong was that those people were not blind. They all saw the best and refused to give up. How could all of this be her fault?
Gong Cheng lamented and looked at GongYimo's shoulder that was slightly bleeding. He stopped her from kneeling.
"Since you're injured, why are you still running around?!"
He said angrily. If it was before, he would only give people a feeling of being full of energy. But now, he couldn't hide his exhaustion.
GongYimo looked at his face that had become thin and out of shape after not seeing him for a few months. Her nose turned sour, but she still bowed.
"Imperial Father, Mo 'er is back!"
Gong Cheng watched her kneel and then climb up. No matter how hard his heart was, it softened. He sighed.
"Sit down."
GongYimo sat down beside him. Before, there was such a big scene. The palace people who thought they were going to quarrel were relieved and quietly retreated.
Outside, Gong Dai, who was waiting nervously, was a little impetuous. He was afraid that Imperial Father would embarrass Royal Sister. He was also afraid that Imperial Father would insist on not agreeing, and Royal Sister would be sad.
But at this time, no one reported, but there was a smiling voice with inexplicable coldness.
"Isn't this my good brother?"
As soon as he heard Gong Che's voice, Gong Dai suddenly stood up straight. He didn't forget that this person was the biggest obstacle to him marrying Royal Sister.
Gong Che's cold eyes fell on Gong Dai. He had a smile on his face, but he could no longer give people the feeling of a spring breeze. There was only coldness and danger.
As he approached, he sized up Gong Dai and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"If I remember correctly, Imperial Brother should be in Long City right now?"
He smiled, revealing his white teeth. "Hmm? Leaving your post without permission is a serious crime. Tell me, how should I punish you? "
Gong Dai naturally knew that the Crown Prince was temporarily in charge of court affairs. His expression was indifferent.
"Naturally, I'll let the Crown Prince deal with me."
Although he said that, his aura was not weak at all. The two of them stood together. They were supposed to be the gathering of all the spiritual talents in the world. However, there seemed to be ice and fire between them. A moment of carelessness would cause them to collapse!
Inside the palace, Gong Cheng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His eye sockets were slightly sunken, and when he closed his eyes, he gave off a deep sense of fatigue.
"Mo'er, why are you here?" He asked hoarsely.
GongYimo lowered her head. "Imperial Father, I want to ask you for someone."
"Gong Dai?" Gong Sheng looked at her with half-opened eyes.
GongYimo lowered her head uneasily, and her hands could not help but grip her clothes tightly.
"Yes."
Her answer was calm and without hesitation.
Gong Cheng sighed again. Every time he sighed, the anger on his face seemed to disappear along with it.
His eyes looked outside the window, as if he was looking at another place …
"Mo'er … when you were young, you were a very spirited child."
He suddenly said, "You have the decisiveness and insight that adults do not have. You see things in the future even more than Imperial Father. You are affectionate and righteous, and you are also carefree. At that time, I really envied you. You wandered outside the world, and you were born to be looked up to by the world. You would never be troubled or stay for anyone."
"Why is it that now … you are confused?"
He smiled bitterly, but that smile made GongYimo's heart gradually sink. That's right, she was not as carefree as she was when she was young.
The word 'love' was hurtful. She originally thought that she would not love again, but she did not expect that she still fell for it. That's why she entered the world for love and was troubled by love.
"Imperial Father … all of this is my fault."
GongYimo closed her eyes and suddenly thought of a solution.
"If Imperial Father agrees, this son is willing to live in seclusion overseas with Gong Dai, and never return to the Central Plains!"
Gong Cheng was stunned, then he sneered, "Can you represent his will?"
GongYimo was very sure, "I can."
Gong Cheng was silent. He looked at GongYimo's face, which was very similar to Xue Fei's, and suddenly smiled.
"Zhen is also a man. When Zhen loved Imperial Concubine Xue, Zhen wished that Zhen could give her the best of everything in the world. After she died, Zhen thought that Zhen would be depressed for the rest of Zhen's life and live in fear …"
GongYimo did not interrupt him. She lowered her eyes and listened quietly.
"But …"
Gong Cheng smiled weakly, "But a few years after she died, I gradually became indifferent. Other than her appearance and a few things that were deeply engraved in my memory, I could not think of anything else. A lot of the past has been forgotten. I still remember her, but at the same time, I will still favor the concubines, indulge in sensual pleasures, and deal with political affairs …"
He said in a low voice, every word and sentence was sincere and heartfelt.
"Mo'er ah … A man's feelings are not as indestructible as you think … When a man does not have you, he will naturally be obedient. But when he has you, his passion will quickly fade, and in the end, it will become the so-called family affection and responsibility.
I remember Xue Lian's life, perhaps not because of how deep my love was at that time, but because she suddenly left when our feelings were at the peak. I deeply regret it … But you, let Gong Dai put down everything for you. Are you not afraid that after the feelings fade and the passion fades, he will regret it one day? "
GongYimo wanted to say that she believed in him! After all, she even dared to entrust her life and body to him. Naturally, she would unswervingly trust him for such a small matter!
But this sentence, she could not say it out loud.
The shadow of her previous life had always shrouded GongYimo's heart. Feelings will fade and change, and it was not an exception. Gong Dai … will he really not regret it one day?
What if she fell deeply in love, and the person she loved gradually felt that it was not worth it?
Gong Cheng continued, "Mo'er, you also know that this world is very big. Other than women, there are also money, power, status, and even women … there are many women with different charms. He can have three wives and four concubines, and enjoy the happiness of having multiple wives.
These are all at his fingertips, but for you, will he give it all up? One day, if he feels that it is not worth it, he can still have three wives and four concubines, chasing after glory and splendor. But at that time, when you are old and weak, what will you do? "
But if he did not let go of everything, Gong Dai would not be able to have her, because Gong Che would not let it go. Gong Cheng could see clearly that this matter, unless one of the three of them died, or if one of his two sons gave up, there would be no reconciliation at all!
Now that Gong Dai wanted Mo'er, and Mo'er was like him, unwilling to let the Dai Yu state fall into turmoil. Then, they could only live in seclusion with Gong Dai, and Gong Che would not be able to find them. Only then could they live in peace.
So when Mo'er said that she wanted to take Gong Dai away, he agreed, but he was also worried.
