Candlelight flickered in the elegant and grand bedroom. The imperial physicians were standing guard at all times. Their hearts were in their throats, and they didn't dare to relax.
They had also heard about Prince Qi's forceful breakthrough. His cultivation had been forcefully interrupted, and they weren't sure what would happen when he woke up.
If anything happened to Prince Qi, they would be in trouble.
In just two days, bad news came one after another. The emperor was dead, the new emperor was dead, the princess was dead, and the only pillar of support was now in a coma! Did Dai Yu State offend the gods? How could such a terrible disaster befall them?
"Gong Dai … Gong Dai … wake up …"
There was the fragrance of flowers, sunlight, and her sweet and soft voice. It was a beautiful afternoon.
Gong Dai opened his eyes and realized that he had shrunk. His body was bruised, and he was sweating profusely. When GongYimo saw that he had woken up, she first heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she spoke with disappointment.
"Do you think you can become a fatty in one bite? Why are you covered in injuries again? How many times have I said it? More haste, less speed! "
Gong Dai looked at his hands. He remembered that when he was young, the Royal Sister taught him martial arts. He was very eager to become stronger. Every time the Royal Sister gave him a task, he would complete it several times faster than the usual. Therefore, when she wasn't looking, he would often be covered in injuries.
It was fine if she didn't see it, but every time she saw it, the Royal Sister would harshly scold him.
This time, he fainted from exhaustion. This was great! The Royal Sister would definitely teach him a lesson!
Gong Dai tugged at his clothes uneasily. He lowered his head and waited for the Royal Sister to scold him. However, he didn't repent. The palace was like this. If he wasn't strong enough, he would die!
Every time this happened, he would be very obedient. He knew that if he did this, the Royal Sister would be angry, and her heart would ache for him even more … Her heart ache … Was this liking?
But strangely, GongYimo didn't say anything. She pulled him up from the grass.
"You're so dirty. Come, I'll take you to bathe!"
The seven year old Gong Dai followed the eight year old GongYimo to the side of a well. Gong Dai felt a little strange. In the past, when it came to taking a bath, they would wait for Xin 'er to boil the water and pour it into the bathtub. Why did they come to the side of the well?
GongYimo rolled up her sleeves and fetched a bucket of water. Without saying a word, she poured it over Gong Dai's head!
Gong Dai subconsciously closed his eyes. The cold well water made him shiver all over, and his little face tensed up!
After the water stopped flowing, he stared at GongYimo with his big, clear eyes. His eyes were wet, just like a little deer, and he looked a little aggrieved.
"How do you feel?"
GongYimo held back her soft-heartedness and asked coldly.
Gong Dai saw her unfriendly expression and thought for a moment before telling the truth, "Cold."
His body had been nourished by GongYimo for a year. He was already chubby and cute. When he made such a timid expression, GongYimo really couldn't harden her heart. But she had to harden her heart!
"It's good that you know it's cold!"
GongYimo's bun face puffed up angrily, "I thought you lost all your senses and didn't know the cold or the pain!"
Gong Dai reached out to tug at her sleeve and said in an especially pleasant childish voice, "I won't treat myself like that in the future."
GongYimo glared at him, but she knew in her heart that he wouldn't change.
She sighed softly.
She pointed at the well water beside her and said.
"Do you know how many people have died in this well?"
Gong Dai didn't understand why the Royal Sister suddenly said this. Were there any wells in the palace that didn't have people dying? For hundreds of years, death had never stopped. Rules and power shrouded the sky. He understood the principle of natural selection since he was young.
Just as he was in a dilemma about how to answer, GongYimo said with a serious expression.
"A few days ago, someone was fished out of this well. So I said that the water must be boiled repeatedly … Of course, this isn't the main point! That woman, I originally wanted to persuade her not to die. I said a lot of things and thought that she would listen. But she just looked at me and jumped down … "
Speaking of this, she furrowed her delicate brows, seemingly a little depressed.
She recalled the look the woman gave her before she jumped down. Her eyes were filled with desolation. There was no light in her eyes. They were indifferent and pitch-black. After she jumped down, she didn't make a single sound. It was as if she was a rock that sank down. From this, it could be seen how strong her will to die was. It was as if only death could release her.
She suddenly looked at Gong Dai. At this moment, Gong Dai was well-behaved like a fairy child. If it wasn't for the bruises on his body, no one would think that this little boy was so cruel to himself!
"To be honest, I really feel that the people in the palace have a kind of temperament …"
GongYimo said gloomily, "You all have an innate evil aura! Either explode, die, or become twisted … Perhaps, it's because you all live in the walls all year round … People will infect each other with this evil aura. "
Thinking of those palace servants who abused animals in private, the dark and despicable prisons, and the unheard of lynchings, she really opened her eyes after staying in the palace for a year.
In the end, she sighed, "Little Rong 'er, I really don't want you to become like them, but it's undeniable that you already have such a tendency."
She said this sentence very seriously. The people in the palace seemed to be divided into two extremes. One was overly gloomy and had been enduring silently. The other was directly twisted and finally exploded. As for Gong Dai … the ruthlessness he showed at such a young age made her afraid. She was afraid that he would eventually walk the path of loneliness and become the most cruel person among all the cruel people.
Even if he was so well-behaved now, he was still young and couldn't hide it from her. Sometimes, he couldn't help but take revenge on those people in the cold palace. Although he didn't hurt their lives, she knew that he was only concerned about her.
He was uncontrollably turning into the other people in power in the palace. Scheming, hypocritical, ruthless, and there was no light in his life.
This wasn't the child she wanted to teach. He should have a higher perspective.
Gong Dai didn't understand a little, but he understood one thing, and that was that the Royal Sister hoped that he could be a little less ruthless, and have a little more childlike innocence and happiness that didn't belong to this palace.
He sighed in his heart. The Royal Sister always had some strange and naive thoughts. Living in a place where the strong preyed on the weak, how could she not be twisted? Perhaps she could maintain her original appearance, because he would protect her for a lifetime.
Just as he was about to say that he would be obedient in the future and be different from those people, GongYimo suddenly glared at him sternly!
"It's normal to be trapped in a cocoon, but you're my younger brother. You won't be confined to this cage in the future! You will become the strongest existence in the four countries! Tolerance, benevolence, and mission, you can be disdainful, but you must have them. "
