Chapter 444 - Never Marrying In This Life (1)

Her clear voice rang out through the palace, but the contents of her words left Gong Cheng a little stunned. Even Chang Xi showed a look of incredulity!

"What...What did you say?"

Gong Yimo looked at him once again and said to him, "I cannot deny my third sin, and I have no way of denying that I have always been in Yuheng, not can I deny that I helped Jin Yun. So, it is a certainty that you will suspect me, and I cannot refute that. I will also not ask you to believe me for nothing!

"Therefore, I have decided to remain unmarried for the rest of my life and sell myself to the country. Please, Your Highness—please approve of my request!"

Then, she kowtowed once more. The moment her forehead touched the ground, she suddenly thought of Gong Jue.

Before coming in, she didn't think that the Left Prime Minister would have evidence in his hands of her helping Jin Yun over the past few years, so the odds were in his favor. But because of this unexpected situation, she changed her mind midway through.

But for some reason, why did she suddenly think of Gong Jue even though she had long decided to remain single? And why did she even feel a pang of guilt?

She didn't understand it...So! She just didn't think about it anymore!

After a long time, Gong Cheng finally digested her words.

He looked hesitantly at Gong Yimo and his expression looked complicated.

"You have really decided? You will remain unwed for life?"

Third, to express her determination to bind herself to her country! So that he could rely on her talent and use her, then he would never think about killing her...This really was a very smart move.

Even if this end result was...cruel to her.

A woman who would never marry for the rest of her life and so capable. His only worry is that she'll never have peace for the rest of her life...This is too great of a sacrifice! He could protect her when he was alive, but what about when he wasn't anymore?

​ What if the next monarch peeks into her things and she has no husband to protect her?

So, even though he knew it was the best solution for now, he still asked again.

"Have you really decided?"

Gong Yimo was just about to speak, but for some reason, she felt her chest hurt.

And, Gong Jue who was outside the palace was currently standing under the piercing winter sun, looking at the direction of the palace with a tight frown. Why was his Imperial Sister sad?

"I have decided."

She closed her eyes deeply, ignoring everything and saying quietly.

"Good!"

Gong Cheng suddenly laughed!

He laughed louder and louder, because he was going to have another son!
