Chapter 435 - Audience With The Emperor (2)

Ch.435 Audience with the Emperor (2)

Not only was the Emperor there in the glorious palace, but also the Empress Dowager and more than a dozen ministers who had come over early in the morning to report on Gong Yimo's situation. In the end, they were left in the palace, and now, they all stared unblinking at the entrance!

She—had come!

Two equally dazzling people entered step after step, one man and one woman, clearly a step apart of each other, yet they gave off a feeling of intimacy.

They got closer...

Gong Cheng squinted. Due to the light coming from behind, he couldn't see Gong Yimo's expression clearly when he entered. It just felt like her entire body was glowing. Only when she was close enough could he finally see her face.

This...What a resemblance!

When Gong Cheng saw her, it was as if he saw Concubine Xue from back then! Only, Xue Lian's eyes were never as calm and carefree as hers. One was soft was water, and the other agile as the wind. Is she really Xue Lian's daughter?

"This civilian woman and this son pay respects to His Majesty!"

Seeing the two bow to him, Gong Cheng finally came back to his senses. Just as he was about to speak, the Empress Dowager slammed the table!

"Guards! Hold that vile woman!"

After she said that, she shut her mouth and did not say a single word again!

She didn't believe it. So what if Gong Yimo was good with words? A death penalty awaited her for killing a princess. And, with Gong Jue's unauthorized deployment of the royal guard, she wouldn't believe that the Emperor was so biased that he could still show favoritism to her!

So, at her signal, someone immediately jumped out and shouted!

"Your Majesty! This minister wishes to speak!"

Gong Cheng glanced at Gong Yimo and said, "Speak!"

That man was from the Ministry of Execution. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked coldly at Gong Yimo.

"This minister has three complaints!"

Gong Cheng signaled for him to continue.

"Firstly, this minister wishes to report the criminal Gong Yimo for using firearms without permission and disturbing the order of the capital!"

This referred to the incident that morning when she rallied the people.

"Second, reporting Gong Yimo for killing the Royal Princess of Zhaoqing County!"

"Third! Reporting the King of Qi for abusing his power and deploying the imperial guards without authorization!"

After speaking clearly, he bowed to the Emperor. "Please punish them severely, Your Majesty!"
