“Many thanks!”
Gong Yimo panted and patted Gong Jue’s shoulders. “Thank you for stalling time. Now, let’s walk together.”
Saying that, she extended her hand at Gong Jue.
Her hands were slightly trembling, the result of exerting too much strength. Gong Jue’s heart felt pained when he realized. He tightly held onto her hands and helped her walk towards the Tiantai.
They actually really made it. Plus, it was only her!
The common people automatically made a path for the two to walk through with their hands linked. As Gong Jue held hands with Gong Yimo and walked ahead, he transferred his vital energy to her. Gong Yimo then felt her pain slowly decreasing and fading. She was a bit more spirited too.
They walked towards the first step of the ninety-nine steps of the Tiantai.
Gong Cheng glanced at Gong Yimo, feeling bitter. Just what made her battered? Gong Cheng didn’t understand.
But she wore a determined gaze on her stubborn face. Even if she was battered, she was still the most brilliant person in the world!
After walking up the last step, she took in a few deep breaths before kneeling in front of Gong Cheng.
“Emperor father, this official came late!”
“Not late, not late.” Gong Cheng felt bad as he watched her kneel in front of him. He hurriedly helped her up and said, “The auspicious time hasn’t passed. You’re not late yet!”
At this time, common people hurried over while carrying their umbrellas. They all wanted to see if heaven won’t let Gong Yimo today or that she really could go against heaven!
“Princess, may I ask where your ceremonial weaponry is? Where’s your court dress? Why did you come over by yourself, and this late? You’re not following the rules at all!”
An upright official stood up and said justly, not afraid that Gong Jue would beat him down.
Gong Yimo let go of Gong Cheng’s hands and walked towards the Tiantai. Then she lifted the head in her hands up high!
This made the family members of the officials scream in fright. However, it felt as if Gong Yimo hadn’t heard their cries. Instead, she smiled and revealed her pearly whites.
Right now, her forehead stopped bleeding, but she appeared to be quite frail still. She was dazzling and brilliant with her straightened body standing there and her determined willpower. Everyone ignored her battered state.
“Who is this?” The official knitted his brows.
As for the empress dowager, she was extremely frightened after seeing the head. If she recognized right, this person was that person’s top assassin!
Gong Yimo lifted the head in one hand and let go of an item in her other hand, the chain sliding down. The end of the name tag swayed in the air. Many were shocked after recognizing the name tag.
The name tag belonged to the noble group of Luo Ye.
Therefore, Gong Yi took a long time to come because she had killed a spy from Luo Ye?
Gong Cheng was also shocked. In Luo Ye, the materials used for the name tag were different according to the ranks. This silver name tag embedded with gold proved that person’s rank was equivalent to Luo Ye’s general!
Luo Ye’s general actually infiltrated Da Yu?
“Mo’er, just exactly what happened? How do you have a name tag from Luo Ye?”
The moment the words, “Luo Ye” were said, the empress dowager’s face paled. She never thought that the person helping her was from Luo Ye!
Gong Yimo glanced at the empress dowager and sneered.
“This person is Luo Ye’s best assassin— Yunlu Cang Xiu! He stopped me from coming to the Tiantai and attempted to assassinate me. This is why I look so battered and came that late!”
When Gong Cheng heard this, his eyes brightened.
“Their best assassin?!”
