Was she knocked out by the impact of the explosion? Or was she injured by the flying boulder?! Or … or was she not able to escape in time during the explosion and was smashed into pieces?
No, impossible … Gong Che's hands continued to splash the water. The water gradually reached his waist. He looked around frantically, but there was only water everywhere. It was all turbid waves. Where was she? Where was she!
"Princess! Where are you — "
The shouts from the shore reached Gong Che's ears. They were filled with panic. Gong Che looked at the water surface. He wanted to shout, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something! His eyes were scarlet. Even though the wind tore at his hair, he could not shout a single word!
GongYimo … You can't die! I won't allow it! I won't allow it!!!
Suddenly, he felt something tugging at his calf! He jerked his head back, only to hear the sound of splashing water. Who else could it be but Gong Yi Mo standing in front of him with a heartless smile?!
He hugged her fiercely! He hugged her tightly!
GongYimo was caught off guard. She gasped and said, "You must be scared! Who told you to ignore me for so long! Actually … "Before she could finish her sentence, her body was pushed away by a strong force! She fell into the water and choked on a few mouthfuls of muddy water!
"What the …" Are you crazy?!
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Gong Che's heart-wrenching shout! "Are you crazy?! Why did you scare me like this … Why?! "
He clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he would go berserk at any moment! GongYimo's imposing manner dissipated after he yelled at her … She quickly steadied herself in the water and explained like a little wife, "Actually, I'm not …"
She wanted to say that she didn't do it on purpose. It was because when she was overturned by the explosion, she was pushed into the middle of the river by the water current. The water plants there were lush and had entangled her feet. Fortunately, she knew a little bit of Turtle Breathing Technique. Otherwise, she would have died here. However, before she could finish her explanation, she was hugged tightly by Gong Che!
This time, his tightened arms were trembling. No, GongYimo felt that his entire body was trembling!
His pleading voice rang in her ears, as if he wasn't the one who had pushed her just now.
"Don't scare me like this again … I'm scared … I'm really scared …"
If he never saw her again … if she died in front of him like this, Gong Che would never forgive himself for the rest of his life!
Every word that came out of his mouth was just like him, stiff and trembling as he whispered into her ear. GongYimo suddenly felt a little guilty. She could feel the overwhelming panic in his heart. He needed her.
This made GongYimo's heart soften. This was her brother, so she hugged him back and explained softly.
"I didn't mean to scare you … It's because I was entangled by the water plants. I almost suffocated to death in the lake."
When she said that, Gong Che hurriedly pushed her away and examined her carefully. He asked anxiously, "Are you alright?! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "
GongYimo shook her head and giggled, "That's great. Crown Prince Gege still cares about me, unlike two days ago when he didn't ask about me at all. I thought that I had fallen out of favor …"
The more she spoke, the more pitiful she looked. She was soaked all over as she peeked at him pitifully. However, after hearing her words, she saw that his expression was both sad and happy. It was extremely complicated.
Seeing her acting cute, Gong Che couldn't help but smile in the end.
His hand touched her forehead lightly. The deep affection in his eyes was tangible and as gentle as water.
"You … How did you fall out of favor?"
You're the person that I can't forget or let go of even if I die!
Hearing him say that, GongYimo heaved a sigh of relief. She looked up with sparkling eyes and asked expectantly, "Then will you still ignore me?"
Gong Che couldn't help but pull her into his arms again. However, he restrained himself because the others had seen the commotion and were rushing in this direction.
"I won't … Never again …" He promised.
You forced me. You made me unable to let go of you. You insisted on appearing in front of me and asking me to love you. You didn't leave … Then you're not allowed to leave anymore …
Seeing that he had returned to his usual self, GongYimo heaved a long sigh of relief. She was scared to death! Just now, she had indeed been entangled by the water plants. However, when she thought about how Gong Che had been neglecting her recently, she was afraid that his favorability towards her had dropped quite a bit. That was why she purposely stayed a little longer before coming out. Moreover, she wanted them to worry a little to pave the way for her performance later.
What a tiring act of life!
However, she didn't expect Gong Che to be so worried about her, so she felt very guilty. She had really decided to forgive Gong Che and become his sister. She also cherished this family relationship.
Fortunately, Gong Che didn't seem to realize that she had done it on purpose. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have let her off so easily. It seemed that she had already raised his favorability towards her and it definitely wouldn't drop anymore.
Little did she know that her favorability towards her had long been raised to the point that the sibling relationship had directly changed. It was running wildly on another strange path …
When the others returned and GongYimo was safely carried back to the shore by her brother, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
"Princess, I said you shouldn't be so scary! You scared me to death! "Xu Yuan panted heavily and said breathlessly.
GongYimo embarrassedly made a face and jumped out of Gong Che's arms.
"I'm really sorry. I was caught by the water plants and made you guys worry."
Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, everyone stopped talking after a few words. Instead, they excitedly discussed the matter of the Lv * na!
Yu Ziqing's eyes lit up! "Princess, how did you do it! You must be a deity! Do you know how to cast spells?! "
Even Li Ke looked at her with a face full of curiosity, as if he wanted to see through her.
That kind of earth-shattering power! Was it really done by this little girl in front of them?
At this moment, GongYimo's expression became serious. She gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and suddenly knelt down!
The few of them were shocked. Gong Che hurriedly came over to pull her. "What are you doing?!"
Looking at Gong Che and the few people in front of her, GongYimo didn't move even though she was pulled. Instead, she kowtowed to them. "Everyone, please accept my kowtow. I have a request!"
When she said that, everyone knew what she was going to say. That powerful Lv * na just now, if it wasn't a miracle, then it was an unprecedented weapon!
And weapons were what all ambitious people wanted the most. No man could resist this kind of temptation.
And GongYimo clearly didn't want to hand it over.
The others looked at each other. Gong Che's face was sullen and he didn't say a word. Only Li Ke shook his head.
"We can't hide it. If we want to use this to build the canal, then the Emperor will know sooner or later. Even if we don't say it, there will naturally be others who will."
GongYimo kowtowed again. The sound of her kowtowing seemed to be knocking on everyone's hearts!
She had almost died in the water just now. Now, her whole body was soaked and she looked very miserable.
Usually, she gave people the feeling that she was omnipotent and very powerful. But now that she was kneeling in front of everyone, they suddenly realized her helplessness. Only then did they remember that she was only a twelve year old girl. Ordinary girls were still unmarried, but she was already able to help the people of the world.
… But this didn't change her weak nature.
