Chapter 160: Opposition on Longteng River (1)

A trace of tenderness flashed through Gong Sheng's eyes, "Long'er, you don't need to worry about this matter. You're not in good health, so don't worry about it."

So it turns out that Concubine Long has claimed to be sick all year round and used that as an excuse for not meeting with others. If Gong Yi Mo were still in the palace, she would've sighed and praised this woman to be as so beautiful and delicate, she could make cities fall!Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

She blinked her eyes. Those autumn-like eyes were full of worry, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. After all, those rumors aren't true. The Crown Prince may have really been targeted and cannot return to the capital. It's not that he has thoughts of rebellion. Please be patient for a little longer, Your Majesty, don't be angry."

Her words were spoken slowly and weakly, but Gong Sheng's mood only grew colder and colder.

Gong Sheng's face sank and even twitched twice.

"The Crown Prince's character is not like that. When the Crown Prince dug out the cauldron, it came with prophecies that would bring , I believe that there were others fanning the fire which is why the Crown Prince has been brought to this extent..."

"A Crown Prince's character shouldn't act that way. I heard that when the prince dug out the sacred cauldron from the Yulong River, there were prophecies of one becoming a ruler written on it. Prince Gong Che must have been flattered by the slanderous words of those officials around him."

"Hey, hey, 'The one that repairs the canal will rule all under the heavens,' how gutsy!"

Their words caused Gong Sheng's mood to sink further. As he thought of the rumored gunpowder that could shake the heavens in Gong Yi Mo's hands, along with the Crown Prince unearthing the cauldron... he gradually became more tense, his eyes turning colder and colder.

Seeing the ship approaching, he waved his hand, and his hidden men immediately moved! Five thousand troops surrounded Dongcheng Gate. Watching the ship draw closer and closer, their faces all revealed confusion. If they really wanted to rebel, why did they have to be so high-key?

It arrived...

Countless scholars gathered at the front felt the tense atmosphere both inside and outside the city. They lifted their heads proudly, straightened their backs, and all knelt.

"We greet His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The earth-shattering cries brought Gong Sheng back to reality. He looked at the murky, black crowd below him, his expression complicated and doubtful. Why would they follow procedures and bow to him? What was Gong Yi Mo trying to pull?
