A trace of sadness flashed across Gong Dai's eyes, but it was so fast that no one saw it.
He thought about how he had been released from the Cold Palace at the age of thirteen. He had been tortured, poisoned, mute, and beaten! He had endured all these hardships alone!
He had been jealous of Gong Che! They were both the Emperor's children, and they had both suffered. Why did Gong Che have such an outstanding person to help him wholeheartedly, to help him through all the hardships?
And he had to bear all this alone! Why? How was he any worse than Gong Che?!
Gong Dai's eyes were filled with hostility, and he was filled with murderous intent!
Those who had offended him, those who had harmed him! He would not let any of them off! He wanted to use their blood! To wash away the resentment in his heart! Moreover, what right did others have to have what he couldn't have?
Gong Dai left, but GongYimo did not follow. She looked at Gong Che's despondent appearance and sighed slightly.
He was the first person she had treated wholeheartedly. She had killed for him and died for him.
He was also her Brother Crown Prince, and he had treated her well for many years.
Putting aside her hatred, she only looked at his haggard appearance. No matter how much hatred she had, it dissipated as if there was nowhere to vent it. It was undeniable that there had been happiness between the two of them.
It was just that it had been worn away by resentment and faded, and it could no longer cause any ripples.
GongYimo walked over step by step. She looked at Gong Che's unfocused eyes as he called her name. GongYimo sighed again.
"Gong Che."
Miraculously, Gong Che looked up as if he had heard her. His pupils were focused, and he could not see anything. Why … did he hear Zhenzhen calling him?
GongYimo reached out to touch his forehead, even though he could not feel it.
"I've decided not to hate you."
With that, she turned to leave.
But Gong Che suddenly shouted in panic.
"Zhen Zhen!"
GongYimo stopped but did not turn back. She did not want to see Gong Che's panicked appearance. Her husband, her brother, should always have a gentle and refined appearance, an existence that made people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.
"Zhen Zhen … can you give me another chance in my next life?"
Gong Che seemed to have sensed that GongYimo was here. He looked around and said anxiously with a pair of frightening eyes.
"In the next life, in the next life, I definitely won't be like this … Zhen Zhen … can you still be my wife …?"
GongYimo wanted to cry again. She knew very well that there was no such thing as a next life.
However, Gong Che's half-white hair once again appeared in front of her eyes. No matter how bitter she felt, in the end, she didn't say anything cruel. She only sneered.
"Instead of looking forward to the next life, why don't you look forward to being reborn?"
Because in her next life, she already had Gong Dai and only Gong Dai. Since she had decided, she would not change her mind.
If Gong Che really regretted it so much, he might as well be reborn and return to the day they first met. However, she didn't want to meet him again.
After GongYimo left, Gong Che was strangely quiet. He obviously couldn't hear it, but he seemed to have heard it.
He was so happy that Zhen Zhen came to see him just now and said that she didn't blame him anymore … But what should he do? He must be very ugly. Would Zhen Zhen still like him? Gong Che was worried about personal gains and losses. He sometimes laughed and sometimes cried. It was obvious that he had gone crazy!
And no one knew about all this. After the conferment, there would be a big banquet. All the court officials and their wives would attend. The Emperor would also appear, completely establishing Su Miaolan's identity!
GongYimo looked at Gong Dai and coldly issued countless orders. It was obvious that victory was in her hands.
It seemed that tonight's banquet wasn't Su Miaolan's peak, but the day he dominated.
GongYimo couldn't help but think of the time when she was still alive. Could it be that Gong Dai found a flaw in only half a year's time? Those guardians had turned against Gong Dai?
This method was simply too frightening.
The sky gradually darkened. The banquet was about to begin.
After months of meticulous preparation, this grand banquet was unprecedented and unparalleled! Su Miaolan was originally a person who indulged in extravagance. She couldn't wait to announce it so that everyone in the world could come and admire her!
Surrounded by pearls and jade, noblewomen clustered around her.
Su Miaolan felt as if she was floating, and her smile never stopped! Moreover, she deliberately drank a little peach blossom wine to make her complexion turn red. It was so that she could serve the Prince Regent well later …
Where was the Prince? Why wasn't he here yet?
Singing and dancing surrounded by a cauldron of voices. However, because the Emperor and the Prince Regent hadn't appeared, the banquet couldn't start yet. Finally, an announcement was heard.
"His Majesty has arrived —"
Hundreds of officials knelt to welcome him.
"Long — Live — My — Emperor!"
They didn't raise their heads, so they didn't notice that Gong Che seemed to be in better spirits. He just sat and looked around abnormally. Supported by Xue Yang, he walked step by step to the dragon throne.
"Rise." Xue Yang spoke on behalf of the Emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone got up and sat down. The banquet instantly quieted down.
Only then did they realize that Gong Che was very different from his usual gloomy and dispirited appearance. Although he was thin, his eyes were bright. His hands were tightly clutching their sleeves, and his mouth kept calling out two words. It seemed to be "Zhen Zhen"?
Su Miaolan didn't care about Gong Che. She only knew that as long as Gong Che announced to the world, the rumors that he didn't appear at the Empress conferring ceremony in the morning would be dispelled. Therefore, she directly stuck to him.
"Your Majesty … this concubine is waiting for you …"
"Get lost!"
Gong Che suddenly pushed her away! He panicked and said to the air, "Zhen Zhen, are you okay? I won't let her touch you! "
His appearance made everyone look at each other, not knowing what to do. As for Su Miaolan, ever since she suppressed GongYimo, she had never suffered such grievances. She immediately shed tears.
"Your Majesty, you've hurt her …"
Gong Che felt that she was being noisy and finally gave her a cold look.
"Who is this person? She's so ugly that it makes people want to vomit! Drag her away, quickly drag her away! "
No one dared to disobey the Emperor's words. However, in today's banquet, the Empress was the main character. Was it really okay to drag things out like this?
Suddenly, a cold and hoarse voice sounded.
"Imperial Brother, she's your wife!"
Gong Dai strode in. He was very satisfied with Gong Che's appearance. He liked to see others escape from reality and play the fool. How interesting!
Gong Che's eyes widened!
"Nonsense! My wife is Zhen Zhen! Don't speak nonsense, she's going to be angry … "
At the end of his words, he seemed to look at the air timidly, as if he was really afraid of someone getting angry.
Gong Dai mercilessly exposed him. "Is that so? But Zhen Zhen is already dead! She was tortured to death by this Prince! Didn't you secretly hide her bones in the Imperial Mausoleum and want to bury her together? "
It was laughable that Gong Che was deceiving himself. He said that he didn't regret it, but he was tormented by regret every day. He secretly hid her bones and wanted to bury her together with GongYimo, hoping that they could meet again in the next life. However, he was afraid that others would know of his actions and know that he regretted it …
This behavior was really laughable!
Gong Dai's words stunned Gong Che for a moment, then his face turned pale!
He opened his eyes and stared at Gong Dai, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying!
Gong Dai stood under the dragon throne with a devilish smile on his lips.
"GongYimo is already dead! Shang Zhen is also dead! How does it feel to kill the person you love the most? Imperial Brother, how long do you want to continue playing the fool? "
