Chapter 508 Preparing Before the Court (1)
The second day, Gong Yimo woke up with bags under her eyes. She had a rough battle today. But before entering the palace, she wanted to meet Huadan Wuyou.
She had to go to Prince Qi’s residence if she wanted to meet Huadan Wuyou. Gong Yimo was a bit against it inside her heart. She specially waited for Gong Jue to go to morning court before slipping to Prince Qi’s residence.
Compared to the fanfare when other princesses left, Gong Yimo left the residence in low-profile. She had incredible martial arts skills so the housekeeper in the residence naturally turned a blind eye and allowed her to go.
Therefore, she wore a scarf and hat before heading to Prince Qi’s residence. But before she could approach the door, two people stopped her!
“What are you doing?!”
Gong Yimo took off the scarf and gave them a smile. “I want to go inside. Do you guys need to report my presence?”
Seeing Gong Yimo, the two guards hurriedly saluted. “This subordinate was unaware of the princess’ arrival. This subordinate deserves death!”
Then, they continued, “The prince said that no matter when, as long as you’re here, you can go inside. You don’t need to ask anyone. This subordinate will take you to Official Bai right now!”
“Okay.”
Gong Yimo nodded. She did need Bai Sheng to lead the way.
When Bai Sheng heard that Gong Yimo was here, he froze before bursting with joy! He hurriedly came out to welcome her!
Gong Yimo cut straight to the chase and exclaimed her intention. Without another word, Bai Sheng brought her to Prince Qi residence’s most mysterious underground prison and the forbidden area.
On the way, while looking around, Bai Sheng talked to Gong Yimo about the things that happened in the past few years. Prince Qi’s residence had changed quite a lot. There were many places that were designed novelly. It seemed to look even more comfortable than her princess’ residence.
But the atmosphere in the air felt very gloomy. The taut-looking imperial guards made one feel the murderous aura in the air.
She didn’t see a single woman as she walked down.
Gong Jue was really different from his past life.
They quickly arrived at the underground prison.
It had been established actually within the past few years, and under the foot of the rockery. Many prisoners imprisoned in Zhao Prison were transferred here because it was inconvenient there. It was really close to where Gong Jue lived.
They went down and felt a gloomy and cold aura hitting their faces. Gong Yimo had a feeling that many people died there.
Huadan Wuyou was quite an important person. Therefore, she was imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison. When Gong Yimo arrived, Huadan Wuyou still had her eyes closed, resting. She sat criss-crossed as if this wasn’t the prison but a holy place. She was worthy of being Louye’s goddess. An idea popped up in Gong Yimo’s head and she chuckled wickedly.
When Huadan Wuyou heard her voice, she opened her eyes. Seeing her, there was a gloomy glint in her eyes.
“It’s you!”
She slightly pursed her lips, vexed that she met Gong Yimo under these circumstances.
She believed that she was much more noble than Gong Yimo. She was Loye’s only goddess. As for Gong Yimo, she was just a pitiful princess chosen from the common people. Therefore, when they met again, Gong Yimo should’ve failed at regaining her throne and carried an inauspicious title like a stray dog. At that time, she’d extend a hand to assist her like a deity in order to display the two’s differences.
Right. Although Huadan Wuyou hated Gong Yimo a lot, she had to admit that she was talented. She wanted to take her in.
But not at this time. She was in the underground prison, unable to do anything.
