Chapter 407: Princess of Lin (2)
Jin Yun unconsciously reached out and rubbed her head, finally giving her a smile, and then walked outside, leaving Gong Yi Mo standing there alone, watching his shadow as he left. After a moment, she picked up the Pipa, hanging it back on the music wall.
All the instruments on the wall that she stood beside seemed to contain some sort of sorrowful meaning.
Yun Jin had come prepared, and for her to act so recklessly, there could only be one possibility–it was that her real identity had been leaked out.
The princess of Ling, a human weapon, secretly living within Yu Heng, just thinking about it made one uneasy...
Gong Yi Mo smiled at first. So what if they found out? She was a famous person. It would’ve been weird if they still hadn’t figured it out by now!
When Jin Yun had left, the men he had brought were already pushed to the entrance. When he appeared, everyone had stopped moving. His men were pushed close up against the music hall. When the opposite side moved back a few steps, they stood densely clumped together.
The scene quieted down. Under the light of fire, the enemy’s armor seemed to eerily reflect off the light, making Jin Yun suddenly feel cold!
He had miscalculated. While he was so focused on monitoring his threats, he had forgotten to watch his own mother’s movements!
This time, he had been surrounded with no prior warning, definitely due to the loophole his mother had used against him. Ever since she received the royal guard’s badge from the emperor, she was the one who dispatched them!
Simply because of the fact that she was his mother did he carelessly not pay attention, and was now being pushed by her!
Seeing Jin Yun outside, two people from the other side emerged as well. His mother consort emerged with Jin Sheng. As she saw Jin Yun, Yun Jin’s face turned into panic.
“Yun Er, are you alright! Where is that Lin Country spy?! Has she hurt you?!”
She had indeed found out about Yi Mo’s true identity. Even going as far as to ask the emperor for the army’s command seal.
Jin Yun’s gaze heavily swept over to Yun Jin, only to find her trembling. None of the words she had prepared could come out from her mouth. The only sound to be found was the sound of the fire crackling. His face was too horrifying to see, so horrifying that no one dared to speak!
“Who...is the one accusing Yue Er? She Yue is merely an ordinary girl! Mother consort...you’ve greatly disappointed me!”
Jin Yun’s hurtful words didn’t make Yun Jin feel any regret. Her son had been bewitched by that devil girl! His heart now belonged to her, doing so much for a spy that he didn’t care if his own country was in danger, all because of that devil girl!
“Yun Er, don’t be fooled by her! The only reason she’s been kind to you is because your position is of use to her! She’s a thorough spy sent from Lin Country! Don’t be fooled by her!”
“What do you mean I’ve been fooled?” Jin Yun asked her with a glare. “When the two of us met, what was my identity? What was there for her to be thorough about? Tell me, mother consort!”
“Presumptuous!”
The emperor who had been quiet all along finally spoke, his eyes seeming to flash with lightning!
“Yun Er, you’ve failed to judge the severity of your actions. She is your mother! What she’s said is obviously correct, how could you remain so ignorant?!”
Jin Yun smiled coldly. “Yue Er isn’t some spy. You’ve found the wrong people. She’s my benefactor!”
Yun Jin could no longer resist. “Yue Er? You mean Gong Yi Mo? What benefactor, she is a weapon that could topple an entire nation! Even Da Yu country cannot forgive her! What good is a runaway princess from Lin? Yun Er, you should just hand her over!”
When she spoke of weapon, Jin Sheng’s eyes lit up, also stating, “I agree! Yun Er, hand her over! She’s too dangerous. Do you not care about the safety of Yu Heng anymore?!”
Jin Yun only began to laugh!
“What if I said I don’t?”
