Chapter 39 - A Cup of Tea Before Parting (2)
"So, I offer this cup to you. Thank you for being in my life..."
After saying this, Gong Jue could not say another word; he was too choked up with emotion. Gong Yi Mo was puzzled by his silence-there were too many indescribable emotions in the youth's eyes.
Gong Jue never said much, but when he did, his words came from the bottom of his heart.
It was late, and their fleet of carriages was ready to resume their journey. The young prince looked forth with great determination!
Gong Jue put down his tea and walked to Gong Yi Mo's side.
He was already so tall. Gong Yi Mo sighed to herself. She saw the youth reach out as if he wanted to embrace her!
Gong Yi Mo closed her eyes, waiting for his arms to wrap around her. If embracing her would help soothe the youth's loneliness, then she was willing. However, after waiting for a long time, she still did not feel his embrace. Instead, Gong Yi Mo suddenly felt his hand pick a strand of her hair and then... use internal force to break it off!
These things, he could achieve them all!
When he emerged out of the edges of the Imperial City, Gong Jue motioned his horse to turn around. He looked profoundly towards Gong Yi Mo's direction.
Sister Gong, wait for me to return.
Meanwhile, in the palace, a bloody storm of conspiracy began to brew.
When she found out that the Ninth Prince's procession had safely left the capital with the Crown Prince's escort, the Empress was wracked with fury. Now, Gong Che kneeled guiltily before her.
Within the Feng Qi Palace, the tension in the air was so thick that it was almost tangible.
The Empress refused to look him in the eye. She rubbed her forehead, obviously angry.
At the moment, there were only two trusted confidants present. The curtain opened as a servant entered and whispered a few words into the Empress' ears. The Empress' eyes lit up with fierce light!
"Empress, please have mercy!" The maidservant quickly knelt on the ground, secretly sighing at her bad luck.
"Mercy?" the Empress sneered. Her phoenix crown reflected her bitter and disappointed frown. She said coldly, "Since you have ruined our plans to this point, no amount of repentance will make up for your mistake! After making such a mistake, why would I keep you as one of my people? Guards! Drag her out for execution!"Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
