He said that without her, he would have nothing ….. this sentence made GongYimo's heart warm up. She felt that she was needed.
She was not a burden, she was also needed.
"Alright ….. I won't leave you ….."
GongYimo hugged him and said softly. But her heart was filled with pain. She could only die, she could not leave.
The Emperor would not let her go. They could not think of a solution. Her existence was a threat.
If she went back on her words now, she would only be forcing the Emperor to use force.
For the stability of the country, before he died, he would definitely take her with him. This was the reality.
But Gong Dai was overjoyed when he heard this!
Royal Sister would not lie. If she said she would not leave, then she would not leave.
In his excitement, he hugged GongYimo and kissed her several times!
He pulled himself together again. If the stone heart could not work, then so be it. He directly handed the stone heart to GongYimo. Although she was not controlled by the Holy Stone, but when she heard the sound, she would still have a headache. So handing it to her was considered as keeping it for self-protection. After all, he did not know if there were other people behind the scenes other than Snow.
In the next few days, Gong Dai was busy. GongYimo told him that after this incident, Gong Che had already given up. Gong Dai secretly observed and found that every time Royal Sister went to accompany Imperial Father, Gong Che was very well-behaved and even avoided her. Only then did he give up. But he still kept a close eye on Gong Che, afraid that he would suddenly go crazy!
Moreover …..
Gong Dai's eyes flashed with a murderous intent.
He had already thought it through. Once he found a way to save Royal Sister, he would kill Gong Che, this eyesore! The previous incident had seriously touched his reverse scale. He did not want to tolerate it anymore! But now, the Emperor was about to die. If he killed Gong Che, it would only make him busy. He would let Gong Che live for a few more days.
GongYimo accompanied the Emperor every day and talked to him, but he was still losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. His bones were even more obvious, and it was a ghastly sight.
Gong Cheng couldn't eat fat, but he was consuming fat every day. He would die of weakness. No matter how many elixirs he had, it would be useless.
This process of death was comparable to death by a thousand cuts.
On this day, GongYimo had a dream. The dream was so heavy that when she arrived at Chaoyang Hall, she was still feeling depressed.
Now, Gong Cheng was very weak. He was still alive because he refused to die. He said that he would endure until GongYimo got married, and her wedding day was tomorrow. After tomorrow, when Gong Cheng died, the imperial edict would be announced to the world that she would be buried with the emperor.
Although the Emperor had basically handed over most of his power, he was still the Emperor. Naturally, there would be people who would strictly abide by his edicts.
GongYimo also didn't want to change anything. Although she didn't want Gong Dai to be sad, she didn't want to hurt him even more.
The way Gong Dai loved her was to sacrifice everything. The way she loved Gong Dai was to sacrifice her life.
When Gong Cheng saw GongYimo coming, he blinked weakly. GongYimo helped him up. His hands and feet began to swell. One was thick and the other was thin. When she helped Gong Cheng up, she pressed on his swollen hand. It didn't move for a long time … In a sense, this body was already dead. It was just hanging on by a breath.
These days, the palace was very lively. His children who were far away in the fief all came back. They also shed a few tears in front of his bed.
They were all waiting for the day he breathed his last. They came back to observe filial piety and meet the new emperor.
GongYimo had never experienced the feeling of waiting for death. But just thinking about it, she knew it wasn't good. Who would be willing to die? Moreover, with this kind of status, this kind of character, waiting for death was too cowardly for him.
GongYimo couldn't help but recall the first time she saw him. He was vigorous and fierce, wearing a dragon robe. He was surrounded by imperial concubines and ministers when he came to the Cold Palace. Wearing exquisite dragon boots, his feet stepped into the dark and moldy Cold Palace. He looked so out of place.
He was noble and imposing. Even at night, even if there were only palace lanterns around him, his figure still seemed to be glowing. He was awe-inspiring and inviolable!
He was the Emperor who opened up the territory on horseback. He was also the absurd Emperor of the Imperial Harem. He was the swift and decisive commander in the imperial court. He was also the father of more than thirty children.
But now, in just a few years, he was defeated. GongYimo clearly remembered that he always had a head of black hair. But she didn't know when, his hair had already turned white.
When did all this happen?
GongYimo sighed. She suddenly felt that she was not a good daughter. For her ambitions and ideals, she moved between the four countries, but there were few days left to accompany him. If she could do it all over again, she … would spend more time with him. She always wanted a father like Gong Cheng, but in the end, she didn't cherish it.
She wanted to take him to ride a horse and travel with him. They had agreed to go to Jiangnan. The dragon boat was ready. This time, she didn't blow up the boat, but he couldn't go to Jiangnan.
Some opportunities were fleeting. Some people, walking and walking, reached the end.
GongYimo endured the bitterness. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a headache.
Gong Cheng opened his eyes and looked at her quietly. She quickly loosened her eyebrows and forced a smile.
"It's okay. This is not a sign of madness."
She thought that perhaps it was the aftereffect of experimenting with Stone Heart a few days ago. She often had headaches recently. The pain was as if someone was beating her head with a stone.
Gong Cheng was not at ease. It just so happened that the imperial physician hadn't left yet. He glanced at the imperial physician. The imperial physician quickly stepped forward and said with some embarrassment.
"Princess, this is a serious matter. This humble official will take your pulse."
GongYimo was helpless, but she still stretched out her hand.
The last time her poison broke out, the Emperor used 20,000 people to suppress her. It was impossible to hide the fact that the Emperor used 20,000 people to suppress her. These people in the palace were even more frightened when they saw her.
So she let the other party take her pulse to make them feel at ease.
The old imperial physician frowned. After taking the pulse carefully, he glanced at the Emperor and said in a low voice, "Princess, there's something wrong with your body. I can feel a wave of energy flowing through your body. Could it be … that it's the gu poison?"
GongYimo lowered her head, "It's not a problem."
She felt that it was impossible for the poison to break out again so soon. Besides, she had already decided to be buried with him. As long as tomorrow, after the wedding, nothing would matter.
But she didn't understand her body, but the imperial physician did.
The Emperor suddenly said, "Mo 'er … water."
GongYimo quickly went to pour water for him. As soon as she left, the imperial physician said a few words to the Emperor with a worried frown. Obviously, GongYimo's body was more serious than what he said before.
The Emperor didn't have any reaction when he heard it. He just waved his hand and dismissed him.
At this time, GongYimo walked in and carefully served the Emperor water.
At this time, Gong Cheng was already very weak. It was very strenuous for him to drink water. He drank from a small cup several times but still couldn't finish it.
