Ch.581 Li Cheng (2)
“The emperor asked me to come.”
Perhaps out of guilt, or to prove his trust, the Emperor let Gong Jue come to comfort her.
Gong Yimo didn’t say anything, and began to close her eyes to rest.
At this moment, her face was slightly pale, and she was in a mess. She gave off a weak kind of beauty, which made Gong Jue wish he could just hold her in his arms, but she was frightened so he couldn’t do that. ——Only a moment ago, he had thought about directly snatching the throne.
The ministers and Emperor were all there, and the forbidden army only listened to his orders. He gave an order, and the forbidden army surrounded them all, he could control the whole situation!
The ones in power rise, and the others surrender, it was such a great opportunity, he could have easily become the Emperor! However, this time he didn’t do it. Next time if he wanted to, it’ll be harder. Even if the emperor does not hold onto this issue, he will be prepared. It will not be as easy.
But he didn’t do that, because she didn’t want him to and also because he had never thought of committing treason, so he missed this opportunity.
She didn’t want him to. She didn’t have the ambition to take over any country, and she had some attachments towards the Emperor. She felt that he was a good Emperor, and there was no need to do such a selfish act for her own sake and cause unrest.
But he was tempted to do so just now.
He once wanted to just become a powerful prince, and bring her to places and explore the world, but only then, when he saw Gong Yimo being bullied, his heart dropped!
Why can’t he be the Emperor? If he became the Emperor, he could definitely protect her! She can do whatever she wants, and no one would dare to say anything anymore, he just wanted to be with her!
But seeing as she fought on hard for the sake of her reputation, and that she didn’t show any intentions of wanting to destroy this all, he couldn’t help but repress his thoughts and didn’t make the move.
He didn’t have to go to that extent, as it might hurt her.
The two of them didn’t speak. At this moment, the road was bumpy and the seat jumped, Gong Yimo suddenly grunted in pain.
Gong Jue watched as blood oozed out from her wound again. Although he didn’t dare to touch her this time, he couldn’t bear to see her in pain. She took out a bottle of medicine and he reached out to hold Gong Yimo’s hand.
“What are you doing?” She retracted her hand like a frightened rabbit. As her hand touched her wound, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she was still watching him vigilantly.
This reaction made his heart ache in pain!
He was still too weak, his influence was only limited within Dayu. The actions of Lou Ye’s people, he couldn’t do much! And that led to the situation becoming what it is now and it injured Gong Yimo!
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a trace of determination in his cold gaze.
“Sister, I will not touch you, I assure you, before I have absolute power, I will not force you.”
His heart ached at his words. He finally got to this point, but he couldn’t bear to see her so afraid, so he could only give in?
Gong Yimo looked at him blankly, then said after a while.
“Really?”
Gong Jue smiled palely. She really couldn’t put up with this any longer, and just wanted to avoid this matter.
His fingertips touched the hair on her temples, and he tucked them behind her ears.
“Really, it’s a promise.”
Gong Yimo looked at him with wide eyes. At that moment, her defense gradually weakened.
Gong Chi smiled bitterly, “But you have to promise, except for me, you can’t fall in love with anybody else, can you do it?”
