This was a secret that even Gong Che himself did not know.
He only knew that he had hugged her. God knew how much he wanted … to lick her neck that was just inches away … or push her down on the bed!
But he did not dare to do so. He was afraid that he would scare her. If GongYimo knew that he had such dirty thoughts towards her! She would definitely stay far away from him, so that he would never see her again!
Thinking of this, he hugged her even tighter!
He could not say it, and she could not leave him! She said it before, she said that she would not marry anyone, she said it before! And he did not want much. Really, as long as GongYimo stayed by his side like this, only accompanying him, he would not act rashly! He would be able to control himself!!
GongYimo felt like she was about to suffocate! What was this situation? Could it be that the Crown Prince had some hidden illness that she did not know about?!
He chanted the Clear Heart Mantra in his heart again and again, smelling GongYimo's body fragrance that seemed to be able to calm people's hearts. After a while, Gong Che's body slowly relaxed, but his hands were still hugging her, unwilling to let go.
"I'm fine …" His voice was low and hoarse, which made GongYimo feel strange hearing it.
"Brother Crown Prince … what's wrong?" Why did he suddenly become like this? She was really confused.
Gong Che lowered his head a little and took a deep breath. It was a long while before he spoke slowly.
"I just … suddenly thought of Imperial Mother." His voice was very low, "We can do whatever we want, eat whatever we want, and go wherever we want, but Imperial Mother … she committed a crime because of me, and was locked up in the temple because of me. As a son, I am very sad."
When GongYimo heard this, she sighed in relief and quickly patted his shoulder to comfort him, "So it's because of this … it's fine! Moreover, she has already withdrawn from the center of power. With Imperial Father's protection, nothing will happen to her! "
But in her heart, she thought, how could a person in a high position be so selfless? Even though the Empress was Gong Che's mother, she was also the Empress of the Liu family! It was really hard to say who sacrificed what for whom.
She had never thought that this was just an excuse that Gong Che had used to cover up his loss of composure!
Because Gong Che … He was actually a very traditional person. If someone told GongYimo that Gong Che had feelings for his sister, she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death!
After comforting Gong Che, GongYimo prepared to leave. Even if they were siblings, it wasn't good for them to stay together all the time. After all, this wasn't the modern era … It was really troublesome.
Gong Che had just laid down. During this period of time, he was also very tired. He had been rushing back and forth to deal with matters. Just now, his mood had risen and fallen again. He was very tired.
After covering him with the blanket, GongYimo was about to leave, but her hand was grabbed by Gong Che! Looking at her suspicious eyes, Gong Che said softly, "Royal sister … Wait for me to sleep first before you leave."
He seemed to lack a sense of security. Well, he had been through a lot in the past month, and he was only 16 years old. With so much pressure on him, it was normal for him to want someone to accompany him. This also showed that she had completely entered Gong Che's heart and was firmly hugging onto another thigh!
Thinking of this, GongYimo nodded happily and sat by the bed.
Gong Che was relieved. He closed his eyes and after a while, his breathing became even.
GongYimo had nothing to do, so she looked here and there!
The Crown Prince's room looked like a temporary residence. The decorations were very simple, and it didn't feel like a home at all … En, how beautiful would it be if there was a retro gilded floor-to-ceiling vase next to the bookshelf? How artistic would it be if there were a few strong branches?
Also, on the shelf, there were some antiques that were placed randomly. If those dried flowers could be placed horizontally on the shelf, she would be able to see a wall full of flowers the moment she came in. Her mood would be much better …
En … She was about to set off to the Yangtze River. It seemed like she could start preparing for her shipbuilding business now …
Also … She didn't want to monopolize the entire canal. She would be satisfied if she could monopolize a small part of it … But, how could she get it?
After thinking for a while, GongYimo looked at her small hands and sighed. She was still too young. Everything she did at this age was too out of line.
Seeing that Gong Che was almost asleep, GongYimo gently removed his hand and tiptoed out. She didn't know that once she left, Gong Che opened his eyes.
He sniffed his hand. His hand still had the sweet fragrance from GongYimo's hand. It was the smell of the ice flower just now.
He took a deep breath and looked at the top of the curtain. His eyes were filled with deep confusion …
What should he do?
Yes, he couldn't fall deeper. He had to restrain himself!
The sober Gong Che was obviously more rational. He deeply understood that if he fell deeper, it would be very harmful to GongYimo. She would be reviled by the world, but he wouldn't be too involved. This world was especially harsh on women. It wasn't that he didn't understand.
He slowly clenched his fists. Restrain himself … He had to restrain himself. He … could definitely restrain himself!
***
Time flew by quickly. The resources and people were all in place. Because they were leaving tomorrow, Gong Che stayed in the East Palace tonight … No … It should be said that since that day, Gong Che stayed in the East Palace for three consecutive days. The reason was different each time.
But would GongYimo find out about this? Even if Gong Che didn't come back for a month, she would just think that he was busy with something and wouldn't disturb him, okay?
It was late at night. GongYimo was still reading. It couldn't be helped. They were leaving tomorrow. She was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep!
She was reading a book about shipbuilding. Dai Yu State's shipbuilding industry was very developed and was at the forefront of the world. However, in order to make her own fleet more competitive in the future, GongYimo had no choice but to work hard! Study carefully!
Just as she was engrossed in reading, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly came from the courtyard.
GongYimo didn't find it strange. Because they were leaving tomorrow, the people guarding the courtyard were all transferred away today. Why did someone come tonight?
Thinking about it, she put down the book and walked out.
As soon as she opened the door, the faint smell of blood in the air deeply stimulated GongYimo's nerves. She took a deep breath and walked straight to the corner of the wall.
A person was lying there with disheveled hair. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. GongYimo turned him over and used the moonlight to see his face clearly.
"Shen Shi Ye?"
Her voice made Shen Shi Ye open his eyes. At this time, he was covered in blood. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot of injuries. GongYimo quickly helped him up and channeled her internal energy into his back. Shen Shi Ye coughed a few times, and a trace of color returned to his face.
"What happened?!" GongYimo's tone was very serious. She thought about it and said, "Is it your stepmother?"
Shen Shi Ye nodded weakly. "Young … young master, I'm fine …!" He smiled with a pale face and rested his head on GongYimo's shoulder.
"There's nowhere to hide. I can only come here … you … you said that I trust you … don't hand me over …"
