Gong Coco's return had alarmed the entire Imperial City.
Countless noble ladies were led by the imperial court's madams to enter the palace to pay a visit. Gong Coco, as the head of the noble ladies, although it was rare for her to see people normally, she had to take charge of the situation at such a time.
Everyone crowded around Gong Coco, who was dressed up elegantly and solemnly. They were curious about her bizarre experience of returning from the sea.
Gong Coco sat on a luxurious golden seat piled with pearls and jade. She forced a smile as she received the visitors one by one. Her heart was filled with anxiety.
Everything in front of her was obviously familiar to her, yet there was a sense of unfamiliarity. If she couldn't return after jumping into the water, then what should she do? Continue to be a princess and never see that person again for the rest of her life?
She knew that she shouldn't. Because her brother was worried about her, she shouldn't only think about other men. But Jiang Shangke … Would he be schemed against and framed by others …
"Princess, Princess?"
Gong Coco raised her head. The young lady in front of her was the Liu family's daughter, Liu Shu. Her grandaunt was the mother of the previous Empress Dowager. She became the current Empress Dowager from the Empress Dowager, yet she ate vegetarian and prayed to Buddha all day long. She didn't care about worldly affairs and only smiled at the younger generation.
"What's wrong?" Gong Coco retracted her thoughts and looked at Liu Shu, who was younger than her by a few years. They were good friends since young.
"Princess, let's visit the Empress Dowager together! The Empress Dowager must be very worried about you now that you've returned! "
"This …" Gong Keke was a bit hesitant. Because of her son Gong Che, the Empress Dowager didn't like her father. Naturally, she didn't like her either. However, Gong Keke thought of something and happily agreed. She told the women to continue enjoying the tea and flowers, and she would be back soon.
Along the way, the gorgeous and complicated palace slowly unfolded in front of her eyes. Gong Coco thought that perhaps she had always belonged here.
When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's Heart Palace Hall, the two of them reported and the Empress Dowager summoned them in.
The palace maids lifted Gong Coco's skirt and passed through three doors before they saw the Empress Dowager, who was almost sixty years old.
"Grand-aunt!"
As soon as she saw Empress Dowager Liu, Liu Shu ran to her like a swallow returning to the forest. Liu Pinshuang supported her, and a trace of joy appeared in her indifferent eyes. After Gong Che died, her heart died with him. Only when she saw these lively children could she feel her heart beating a little.
Gong Coco was on the side. She saw Empress Dowager Liu in plain clothes and holding her prayer beads. She looked like a country woman. She didn't understand before why the Empress Dowager would torture herself like this, but now she understood.
When the most important person in one's life left, one would feel that everything in the world had become boring. One would close oneself off, and everything else would no longer matter.
"Greetings, Empress Dowager."
Gong Coco's voice makes Empress Dowager Liu stunned. In the smell of sandalwood, Liu Pinshuang's expression gradually becomes indifferent. "Greetings, Coco. Please sit."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Gong Coco adhered to palace etiquette and sat across from the Empress Dowager. Liu Pinshuang felt it was a little strange. She only felt that this little princess' temperament had matured quite a bit after going out.
"Empress Dowager, I have a few words to say to you. Please dismiss the servants. Xiao Shu, can you leave for a moment?"
Liu Shu was very curious. She looked at Liu Pinshuang, and Liu Pinshuang nodded. "Shu 'er, go to the temple hall and burn some incense."
"Yes."
Liu Shu responded obediently and walked out with the palace maids who were waiting on her.
Liu Pinshuang calmly looked at Gong Coco. "What is it?"
Gong Coco smiled sweetly. "Does Empress Dowager know where Coco went this time when she disappeared?"
Liu Pinshuang was dazzled by her smile, and only recovered after a while.
"I don't know."
Gong Coco was not frightened by her indifference. Instead, her eyes became brighter!
"I went to another world!"
Only then did Liu Pinshuang look at Gong Coco who was talking nonsense. She frowned. "As a princess, you should be careful with your words."
"I really went to another world!"
Gong Coco emphasized seriously. She took out the necklace and pressed the play button. On a snow white screen, a vague image was projected.
"This is the recording device that I took from that world. Empress Dowager, do you think that our world would have such a thing?"
Liu Pinshuang's eyes widened. She took a few steps forward and looked at the unclear image in shock. She was speechless.
However, the image disappeared in a flash. Because it ran out of battery, Gong Coco took back the necklace regretfully.
Jiang Shangke's original intention of giving this necklace to her was to use her perspective to record everything. Jiang Shangke also had a similar necklace. It was a kind of fun.
Liu Pinshuang had lived for sixty years. After being shocked, she accepted it. She stared at Gong Coco with a burning gaze.
"Why did you tell me? You shouldn't have told me about this. "
Gong Coco smiled. "I didn't tell you. I just wanted to tell you that there are many worlds. Death is not the end. Maybe Uncle Gong Che has also gone to another world? It's just that my body is still here, so I came back. He can't come back, so I can't tell you everything. "
Hearing this, Liu Pinshuang's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"You want to say that Che is still alive?"
Gong Coco nodded vigorously. "He might still be living well and happy! In other worlds, he can also find his own happiness. So, Empress Dowager, you don't have to grieve every day. You should give him your blessings. "
After she finished speaking, Liu Pinshuang's face was filled with tears.
She knew very well that Gong Coco was just comforting herself through her fortuitous encounter. However, after hearing this, she couldn't help but hope that her son was still alive. He just went to another place to start a new life. He just couldn't come back.
And Gong Coco could come back because her body was still here, but Che's body was destroyed.
Gong Ke saw her crying and sighed. She pitied the hearts of all parents in the world. She was right to come today.
"That's all I want to say. Empress Dowager, please rest. I believe that Uncle doesn't want to see you sad in another world.
After Gong Coco finished speaking, she performed a standard palace salute and retreated. When she walked to the door of the hall, she looked at the sky and a trace of confusion flashed through her eyes.
If she couldn't go back … would Jiang Shangke always wait for her, or would he forget her?
"Keke, what are you thinking about?"
During dinner, Gong Qiyu saw Gong Coco in a daze and couldn't help but ask.
When Keke came back this time, it was as if she had lost her soul. It made him very worried.
Looking at Gong Qiyu's worried eyes, Gong Coco finally asked.
"Brother, how did you know that I would come back? Mother told you? "
Gong Qiyu nodded. His eyes darkened slightly as he lowered his gaze and picked up her favorite dish.
Gong Coco wasn't in the mood to eat. She hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Then what else did Mother say?"
