After gathering her thoughts together, she set off with determination.
But she wasn't heading towards the imperial palace. She was heading out of the city.
At this moment, a pale faced Jin Yun pulled open the curtains of the carriage he was on, glancing outside.
He did not spend the past few days very well. He almost starved to death!
In the end, he tossed and turned in his sleep, troubled by the danger he was in, but he could not let the public know of this.
At least back then, he had shoved Gong Yi Mo out the city and was prepared to face death!
When Jin Sheng had seen him letting Gong Yi Mo escape, he immediately took his horse whip and hit Jin Yun! Now, his body was covered with whip marks, and while he was in the prison cell, he came down with a fever and almost died. Luckily, he was recovering now.
Thankfully, he had learned much in the past few years. In the end, he managed to make it out alive!
Due to Jin Sheng's "severe illness", as far as the citizens of Yu Heng were concerned, Jin Yun's words were now absolute. Even though people now considered him unfilial, he should've done this long ago!
Now deep within a sea of regret, he could only hope that Yi Mo would hear of his news and come back to search for him, since there was no way Da Yu would protect her...
"Your highness has already been writing for two hours. Why don't you rest and drink some tea!"
Just as Chang Xi finished speaking, a servant who had prepared tea already came forward and handed the cup to Gong Sheng.
Gong Sheng looked at him for a second and drank a sip of the tea. It was unclear as to what made him even more infuriated, but he violently threw the tea cup onto the ground.
A loud smash! All the servants kneeled down, especially that maid who had brought the tea with her, her face now pale and white. She crept by the emperor's foot.
"Please forgive me your majesty! Please calm down!"
Gong Sheng coldly smiled. "Calm down? You don't even know why I'm angry, why should I calm down?!"
No one dared to answer his question. Only Chang Xi sighed and waved his hand for the servants to leave.
This bold move however, didn't anger the emperor further. The servants in the room all thanked Chang Xi with their eyes before quickly taking their leave.
Seeing Gong Xi sitting angrily on his dragon throne, Chang Xi decided to ask him a lighthearted question. "Is your majesty upset about Yu Heng?"
Gong Sheng glared at him. "You know me well!"
Chang Xi quickly smiled, not speaking another word. If only the emperor would share his troubles when Chang Xi asked instead of needing to express his opinions on the matter.
"That group of no good people! What's the point of bullying a child! And having an entire army to surround the city! And then saying she's a spy for Da Yu? How funny, would he send a princess to act as a spy too?"
