Chapter 579 Recrown (2)
She said softly .
Gong Sheng found it both baffling and funny, at first, he was planning to demote all of them! Those who don’t obey him, why would he still have them by his side? But Gong Yimo didn’t look like she was joking either, it’s no big deal, he’ll just look for another person to lead the Forbidden Army.
So he nodded.
“Second, you can’t blame Gong Jue!” Gong Yimo said solemnly, “Gong Jue did what he did for me. We’re really close to each other, so you can’t blame him for it!”
This point made Gong Cheng hesitate.
That is because, just a second ago, he wanted to dismiss Gong Jue of his position first, it was too dangerous, his influence over the Forbidden Army!
But now Gong Yimo was asking him to not touch Gong Jue, isn’t this just putting him in a tough spot? Which emperor could possibly tolerate this?
Gong Yimo naturally knew what he was thinking, and said sadly.
“Father, you’re being oversensitive, so when others mention something, you start to doubt me. Whenever you can’t control me, you’ll want to kill me.”
When she said the word kill, she said it in a very self-deprecating manner, referring to the fact that she barely escaped from death.
“Now, you’re also doubting Gong Jue.”
She couldn’t help but raise her gaze and asked, “Aren’t you clear about what kind of a person I am? Aren’t you clear about how Gong Jue treats you? In your heart, have you really trusted anyone?”
Her tone was quick, with a hint of aggressiveness, forcing her words to hum in his ears
Has he not trusted anyone?
He
Gong Yimo smiled and shook her head, “Even if the world accuses me, scolds me, insults me, and humiliates me, I don’t even feel that bad! But if you don’t even believe me, what’s the point of staying here?”
Her words were simple, but for so many years, no one has ever said something like this to Gong Cheng!
As the emperor, he has to be more sensitive and alert. Does he need someone he truly trusts?
At this moment, Gong Jue said at the right time.
“Father, I have no ambition to be emperor. Since we’re at the altar now, I swear by my life that in the whole of my life, I’ll not greed over your throne.”
He just wanted to be a prince that no one could order around, and run away with his sister.
Gong Yimo’s and Gong Jue’s words both pressured Gong Cheng, it made him hold his head in pain. In the end, Changxi had to help him.
“Your Majesty, the Founding Emperor once said, as the emperor, he has to know how to use his people well, and once he uses them, he shouldn’t doubt them. They are all your children! They’re all so well-behaved, what do you have to worry about?”
“I’m stuck,” Gong Sheng said suddenly, not knowing whether he was telling others or telling himself. He sighed, “Okay! Mo’er, your second request, I agree to it.”
Gong Yimo smiled, “This third request is for me, I want to personally send Longcheng Tingxue back to her country!”
She said to everyone, “This mess started because of me, so I should be the one to settle it. I will not cause displeasure between the two countries because of my own personal affairs, so I’ll deal with it myself!”
Gong Jue suddenly glanced at Gong Yimo, but he didn’t say anything.
Gong Yimo’s words were naturally what Gong Cheng had hoped for, “Good child, I give you my permission! It’s just that Da Yu is the right one here, you just need to demand for justice, even if the relationship breaks, Da Yu and I are not afraid!”
“Thank you Father!”
Gong Cheng smiled tiredly, “If that’s the case, Mo’er, why don’t you wear the ceremonial crown? And Che’er, you too! Just because the crown prince says it’s not right, then it’s not right? Next time, if you do that again, I’ll for sure punish you! Now, recrown Mo’er!”
