Chapter 262: Changing Fate Against God's Will (1)
Gong Yimo was carried home by Gong Jue.
The cold wind blew against his robes, but he was able to protect Gong Yimo carefully so that she wouldn't feel any chilliness.
The young prince smiled when he looked down on her peacefully sleeping face.
How could he not know how many people were watching every movement of his? There would be a fight every night at his Qi residence. Tomorrow, there would be plenty of corpses that will be thrown into mass graves...those spies, they all wanted to gain information on his royal sister.
He was even more aware of the fact that it was best if he sent his royal sister away right now. However, he didn't want to...he deeply hated his incompetence to protect her to the point where he didn't realize how much pressure he had given himself.
He was only a 13-year-old boy. No matter how enchanting he looked, he can't be the opponent of an entire Imperial City.
Seeing how Gong Yimo was peacefully sleeping, Gong Jue sighed softly.
"What should I do with you?"
When they returned to the residence, Luo Qi glanced at Gong Yimo before he said in a low voice, "I've arranged everything properly. In less than three days, Li Ke will undoubtedly die."
Gong Jue nodded his head to indicate that he had heard him before walking to the courtyard where Gong Yimo resided in.
Li Ke's life had been difficult recently. He was the Minister of Revenue's legitimate son, so his identity was considered to be quite honorable. He had received assistance from Imperial Concubine Long and received the title of a rank three official. Even if someone of higher status was angry at him, they could only make him suffer a little. It was still very difficult to take his life.
However, Gong Jue was different; ever since he returned to the capital, he had been thinking of ways to take his dog life! Now, he only needed to wait for the news of his death. This was the only good news during this time.
Gong Jue let out a sigh of relief after he put Gong Yimo on her bed. He was a little vexed when he remembered how Gong Yimo was unhappy earlier today because of Gong Che's marriage to Su Miaolan.
Originally, he was happy and was even willing to help them when he heard that Su Miaolan would marry Gong Che. But now, seeing how unwilling Gong Yimo was, Gong Jue was somewhat hesitant.
Anyways, as long as Gong Che marries someone, it didn't matter whether he marries Su Miaolan or someone else. Since royal sister dislikes her so much, should he make her disappear?
But if Su Miaolan was dead, what if Gong Che used this as an excuse to not marry anymore? What should he do?
He sat on Gong Yimo's bedside and frowned slightly.
Only at this time did he give off the feeling of a teenager; worrying about personal gains and losses was something everyone must experience when they grow up...
Gong Yimo was deeply asleep. She wrinkled her eyebrows and started to lick the corners of her mouth like she was dreaming that she was eating something delicious.
As Gong Jue watched her, he suddenly leaned closer to her.
He reached out one of his hands and touched the side of her face. Gong Jue began to observe her sleeping face up c
Royal sister...was becoming prettier and prettier...
Putting aside the fact that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder***, Gong Yimo was indeed becoming more outstanding. Her face seemed like it was painted by a divine physician. She was beautiful to the point that she didn't even look like a real person. If she was just beautiful, it would've been fine.
(T/N: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder: the person they love will always appear more beautiful in their eyes)
But as the saying goes, what's on the inside will be reflected on the outside. She gave off the aura that she was able to tolerate all living things in the world; it was something no women in this era would have. Every action she took was on her own accord and desires, which showed how selfconfident she was. Just based on these two points, she was unrivaled in this world.
Simply looking at her made Gong Jue a little thirsty. Ever since that had happened last time, he was afraid to get too close to Gong Yimo. Every time he got close to her, the bottom of his heart would begin to stir, making it harder and harder for him to restrain himself...
