As for GongYimo, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed. In Gong Dai's arms, she felt especially at ease. Her injuries didn't hurt anymore. She just wanted to hug him and sleep until the end of time.
While she was in a daze, she felt Gong Jue changing her bandages.
In a daze, she suddenly grabbed Gong Dai's hand and interlocked their fingers.
"Do you love me?"
Love?
Gong Dai was fascinated by this new question. He realized that loving the people like his children was such a sweet word.
In an instant, he self-taught himself and said affirmatively in her ear.
"I love you."
But GongYimo fell asleep again and didn't hear it at all. Gong Dai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
On one side, it was sweet as candy, but on the other side, it was a storm!
The Empress directly barged into the Eastern Palace!
At that time, Gong Che was in the study, drawing a person, a woman that he missed dearly. Every time he thought of her, he would calm down and draw her appearance.
But when he thought of how she was in the palace now and he couldn't see her, the anger in his heart surged. Coincidentally, the Empress barged in without permission. With a move of his brush, a good painting was ruined.
Gong Che didn't have any palace servants by his side, and the Empress didn't bring any attendants. There were only the two of them in the large study.
Gong Che frowned slightly. In the next second, the Empress walked over. When she saw who he was drawing, she instantly tore it to pieces!
"GongYimo, GongYimo! Could it be that GongYimo is the only woman left in this world?! "
The Empress completely disregarded her bearing. As the paper flew, she asked with red eyes, "Gong Dai is seeking his own death. He wants to ruin himself for a woman! Do you also want to ruin yourself? "
Gong Che was a little displeased, "Imperial Mother is so angry. I wonder why?"
"Why? You still have the face to ask why?! "
The Empress' chest heaved up and down violently. "If I hadn't seen Miaolan crying her heart out, I wouldn't have known how many months she has been married to you. Or … she is still a virgin!"
Originally, it was hard for her to say these words, but now that she was angry, she didn't care about anything else!
"Could it be that you're still keeping your chastity for GongYimo? She was fooling around with Gong Dai in Yuqi. When she returned today, everyone saw that there was something going on between them! She had long been Gong Dai's woman! Why are you still so stubborn?! "
"Mother!"
The Empress' words provoked Gong Che. He raised his voice, and that terrifying murderous aura scared the Empress into silence!
She looked at the tall son in front of her and raised her hand to give him a slap! Yet, he hated himself and couldn't do it!
"It's all Imperial Mother's fault, it's all my fault!"
She suddenly covered her face and wept, "Imperial Mother shouldn't have begged her to help you! I shouldn't have handed you over to her! At that time, Imperial Mother found out that you had feelings for her, but because she could help you, I let it go and didn't stop you! I thought that when you grew up, you would naturally give up this incestuous feeling. Who knew that you would become more and more intense, and now it's out of control! "
She wailed, "It's all my fault!"
Gong Che was silent for a while. Finally, he used a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her face.
"Imperial Mother, did you forget that you are the Empress? How can you cry like this and make people laugh at you?"
Gong Che's gentleness made the Empress cry even louder! She had such a good son, the child she was proud of, but he fell in love with someone he shouldn't have!
But was this GongYimo's fault?
Even if the Empress was biased, she couldn't say such things.
At that time, the situation was critical. No one was willing to stand up to save the Liu family, only GongYimo! And Che's position as the Crown Prince was suppressed again and again. She was almost forced to commit suicide! It was also GongYimo who drew a broad path for Che and gave him the supreme honor now. No wonder Che liked her for so many years. Even now, her heart obviously belonged to someone and she refused to give up.
If only … Imperial Son knew that GongYimo wasn't his biological sister. He and GongYimo were together day and night when they were building the canal. If he knew that she wasn't his biological sister, Gong Dai wouldn't have anything to do with him …
The Empress was shocked by this sudden thought. In the end, she almost forgot that she came to find Gong Che for Su Miaolan's matter!
Now, Su Miaolan was still waiting for her to comfort her. Since she couldn't do anything about Imperial Son, she could only comfort her first.
Seeing the Empress leave after making a fuss, Gong Che shook his head good-naturedly. He was gentle by nature and wouldn't get angry over this kind of thing.
But Su Miaolan …
The Empress was still a little uneasy when she returned to Feng Qi Palace. She didn't go to see Su Miaolan who was waiting for her. Instead, she went to her bedroom and drove everyone away. Then, she talked to her confidant.
Shui Xian had been with her for the longest time. She immediately knew that something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The Empress wanted to say something but stopped. Her willowy eyebrows were tightly knitted. Finally, she said slowly, "Tell me, now that GongYimo and Gong Dai are together, why is Imperial Son still unwilling to give up?"
GongYimo hadn't come to Feng Qi Palace yet, but Shui Xian went to take a look in the morning and said slowly.
"In my opinion … Princess, I'm afraid she's still a virgin."
The Empress was shocked! She looked at Shui Xian with her big phoenix eyes. Shui Xian had been in the palace for a long time and had been by her side for a long time. In the past, she was basically in charge of the selection. If she said that GongYimo was still a virgin, she must be right.
Now, her mind was active again. After a while … she made up her mind and said hesitantly.
"Actually, GongYimo … isn't His Majesty's child …"
"What!"
Water Deity immediately covered her mouth!
The Empress glared at her. Why was she being so loud? Unless the Emperor revealed it himself, it would be a big crime no matter who leaked it!
But she couldn't care so much now.
"When Imperial Concubine Xue entered the palace, she was pregnant! And it wasn't His Majesty's child, but the child of her deceased husband in Xue Country! His Majesty wanted to get rid of this shame, but Imperial Concubine Xue would rather die than comply. His Majesty finally compromised and recognized this child, which is GongYimo! "
The Empress had calmed down when she said this. She had accepted the things that she couldn't accept in the past as she grew older.
Shui Xian calmed down after a while. Plus, she knew the Empress well. A bold idea rose in her mind and she said hesitantly.
"So … so Your Highness, you want to …"
The Empress nodded her head and then sighed.
"I suppressed him so much, but my son didn't give up on his feelings for GongYimo. So I thought … why don't I think of a way to announce GongYimo's identity to the world. This way, although there are some obstacles when my son marries her, it won't be too big. The main thing is that His Majesty won't be easy to get through … this is really a headache!"
But what she didn't expect was that at this moment, Gong Che stood in front of her door and was stunned for a long time! He was like a statue!
He originally wanted to come to the Empress's place and bring Su Miaolan back to teach her a lesson. But when he saw the Empress chasing everyone out, he felt strange. He didn't allow anyone to announce his arrival and walked in himself. He didn't expect to hear such words …
Mo 'er wasn't his sister …
He and she … could have been together from the beginning!
