What else could Gong Yimo say? She looked numbly at Gong Cheng’s somewhat smug face, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of Gong Jue and suddenly jumped!
When Luo Qi reported this matter to Gong Jue’s ears, he was truly shocked!
Nothing had ever caused him to show such an expression in all his years of living! He really wanted to pry open the Emperor’s brain to see what was inside of it!
Seeing Gong Jue’s ugly expression, nobody dared to make a sound. They were currently in Zhao Prison, and it felt like his body was the embodiment of frost, causing the prisoners in front of him to tremble in fear!
“I confess! I’ll confess everything! Don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me!”
But Gong Jue couldn’t bother to interrogate him now. He handed the man over to Luo Qi and quickly rushed out!
When he figured out all the details, he vaguely understood the Emperor’s intentions, and it was because he understood why the Emperor would do this that it was harder for him to solve this…
If his Imperial Sister refused the male pets given to her by the Emperor, then the Emperor would only be suspicious that she already had a male pet, and…
Forget it! Gong Jue thought. If in the future, Imperial Sister really did have a male pet, then he can just kill him!
If one comes, he’ll kill one! If two, he’ll kill the pair!
A deep hostility flashed within his eyes!
Then a thought came to him that, being men, if they wanted to serve someone so badly, he could just grant their wishes! He’ll sell them all to the brothel where all the men are and they can enjoy themselves to the fullest!
With this thought, it could be imagined how pitiful the princess’s future male pets would be. Every day would simply be misery. How eventful.
The next day, the weather was gloomy.
As soon as Gong Yimo woke up, she heard some bad news.
That was that the Empress Dowager was sick. Very sick! But the Empress Dowager said that her illness was caused by Gong Yimo burning Long Hanyan’s corpse in front of her, and it was Long Hanyan’s persistent grudge that caused her to fall ill. So, she said that Gong Yimo was an unlucky person, and her staying in the palace would only endanger others!
Naturally, the Emperor did not believe all this and sent many imperial doctors to see the Empress Dowager’s illness, and they all shook their heads.
Mental ailments required mental help. The Empress Dowager just can’t endure seeing the Princess living well!
Even though they didn’t say this, Gong Cheng had a hunch as to what the reason was.
It was enough that the Empress Dowager tried to make a scene, but during morning court, he was questioned again by the courtiers when he was supposed to choose an auspicious day for Gong Yimo’s conferment ceremony.
The Empress Dowager is sick, and Gong Yimo is her granddaughter. How could she hold the ceremony at this time? She had to at least wait until the Empress Dowager was better. And, the recent rumors and gossip in the harem have led many neutral ministers to think that Gong Yimo was unlucky. After all, she had only returned to Dayu for a few days.
So, after a few days, the rumors intensified, and when the person concerned, Gong Yimo, heard this, she was reading at Taiji Palace.
When she heard the palace people talking about these rumors with worried looks on their faces, she laughed without much care.
This was a smart move for the Empress Dowager, that she could think of attacking her with rumors. Only, the Empress Dowager was the only one sick so far, so there was probably more to come…
But what does it matter?
Gong Yimo laughed.
The title of Princess Rongji is a title that she’s set on!
At that moment, someone came bearing a report, and her face looked extremely bad. Then, she glanced timidly at Gong Yimo.
“Princess, bad news! The Empress Dowager has ordered you…to serve the ill!”
