GongYimo didn't say anything. On the other side, Gong Che stuck his fingers into his hair, full of self-blame.
"You must think so too, so you don't like me …"
"It's not like that."
GongYimo stood up and looked down at him, solemnly and coldly repeating.
"It's not like that."
Because she had already decided to end her life, there were some things that she didn't want to hide anymore.
"I'm good to you, I rejected you, not because of you." In the dark room, the light from outside couldn't reach this corner, so only her voice echoed.
Gong Che forgot about his guilt and self-blame, he couldn't help but ask, "Then what is the reason?!"
GongYimo sighed, walked to the corner and sat down beside him.
"Let me tell you a story …"
GongYimo sat on the floor, her back leaning against the wall. Her eyes were squinted and her expression was a little strange.
Gong Che didn't answer, he knew that GongYimo wouldn't tell him a story for no reason.
GongYimo thought for a moment, then told him about her past life, her experience after leaving the mountain, from a third person perspective.
At first, Gong Che didn't understand the meaning of her story, but as she went deeper into the story, his expression became more and more surprised. Why did that crown prince look so much like him? Why did that little girl look so much like Mo'er?
Until the word "* *" appeared, Gong Che's expression became more serious. Only Mo'er had * * … then, this story?!
He didn't dare to think too much about it!
Until the end of the story, when the female lead died, Gong Che didn't wake up from his daze. Why did he feel that it was so familiar? He even felt that if he was the crown prince, he would definitely do the same as in the story.
But, what if that girl was Mo'er?
In his daze, he seemed to want to catch something, but he couldn't catch anything!
GongYimo paused, separated herself from the "story", and said softly.
"… Do you know how unwilling that girl is?"
In the darkness, her voice was slow as she described in detail. "She always felt that it wasn't her fault. At least, she wasn't the main reason. However, she had to bear all the consequences. Do you know how unwilling she was?"
After the princes obtained the throne, they each went their own way. Internal strife began, and the throne spread to other countries. When the other countries saw the Dai Yu State falling apart, they all wanted a piece of the pie. This was profit and ambition.
It was as if her body had opened a door and released those sins. Therefore, she was in the wrong. Therefore … she had to accept the consequences of these sins!
Just because she had accepted it, it did not mean that she did not resent it. However, she still had hope in her heart. Everything she had done was for one person. That person would definitely always stand by her side, understand her, and support her!
Thinking of this, GongYimo sneered. In the darkness, Gong Che couldn't see her face clearly, but he felt that her laughter chilled his heart.
"Do you know how wronged that girl felt?"
After GongYimo laughed, she asked again. "Many people pointed at her and scolded her. All kinds of malicious curses were endless. She was stoned and spat on. She even saved a village out of kindness, but that village almost burned her to death … They said that if it wasn't for her, how could the world be like this? They didn't want her to pretend to be kind. "
Gong Che had never experienced it, but he knew the pain of not being understood and not being supported. As a man, when pushed to the extreme, he would do something irrational. However, the girl in the story didn't do that. She endured it all the way until the four countries were unified. At that time, people began to think of her as a good person. However, it was already too late. Some hurt couldn't be repaired. It wasn't as if the wound would disappear after an apology. Whether it was anger, resentment, or grievance, they couldn't be appeased. They could only be suppressed.
GongYimo suddenly recalled something and told Gong Che with a smile.
She still remembered that time when she was riding on a horse and saved a woman who was being kidnapped by bandits. However, after the woman was saved, she committed suicide after knowing her identity.
"You evil demon! It's all because of you that I'm like this! For your own desires, you created a terrible disaster and caused my brother and husband to die on the battlefield! I curse you to die a horrible death! Before you die, you'll be tortured. After you die, you'll go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated! "
After saying that, she crashed into a tree and died. GongYimo still remembered that she looked at her coldly the whole time. She watched her die without any emotion in her eyes. However, the coarse reins in her hands almost broke!
Gong Che heard her purposely use a sharp voice and a resentful tone to say the woman's curse before she died … In the darkness, he vaguely saw GongYimo smiling. That smile sent chills down his spine …
Then, she smiled and turned to ask him.
"Do you know how scared that girl was?"
GongYimo stared at him and said softly, "… I don't know who it was that spread the rumor that she wanted to rule the world. The imperial court ordered her to return to the court several times. Why did she retreat when victory was right in front of her? The opportunity was fleeting. She disobeyed time and time again and finally confirmed the rumor. She was afraid of killing people, but she couldn't show it because she was a general who charged and broke through the enemy lines. She wanted to find someone to talk about her fear, but those people looked at her with fear and vigilance. So, the fear accumulated and she woke up from her dreams every night … "
Now that he thought about it, it was all a conspiracy. They knew that she wouldn't retreat, so they deliberately did this to smear her name and confirm her evil reputation.
What a mocking reality.
"Don't say anymore!"
The truth was right in front of him, but Gong Che suddenly didn't have the courage to reveal it. He suddenly didn't want to know. He retreated!
"Why don't you say it? Don't you want to know?"
GongYimo sat beside him and said with a playful tone.
Gong Che's voice was trembling slightly. "This has nothing to do with me. Why should I know?!"
Wasn't this just a story? Why would he be afraid?
GongYimo nodded.
"You're right."
She hugged her knees and looked at the light. "None of this has anything to do with you. You've never guarded against me, feared me, schemed against me, made me a mere figurehead, or wronged me."
She smiled. "… But I experienced all of this personally in my previous life. The ancients said that a golden millet dream is a lifetime. I woke up in such a dream and faced you with a body full of scars. Were you afraid? Gong Che. "
When Gong Che heard her chilly voice, he suddenly panicked!
He explained anxiously, "It's not real. It's just a dream. You were too afraid of the danger caused by the explosion, so you had such a dream!"
How could he hurt her like he did in her dream? Impossible!
GongYimo chuckled.
"Are you dreaming?" She blinked and her red lips curled up slightly when she saw Gong Che's panic.
