Chapter 445 - Never Marrying In This Life (2)
If Gong Yimo does not marry, then he can only compensate her for her position in the future so that she can remain invincible no matter where or when. And, Gong Yimo was so talented. If she dedicated herself to serving the country and remained unwed, this was only a loss to her personally, but a boon to the country!
So, at this moment, he could not express sympathy, so he should just be happy!
The cheerful laughter reached outside the palace, making Gong Jue ponder, and the ministers panic!
Gong Jue would never have thought that the Left Prime Minister will have such evidence against his Imperial Sister. After all, even he didn't understand what happened with his Imperial Sister during her time in Yuheng, so this Jian Xi person went beyond everyone's expectations!
But seeing how furious the Emperor was, he had already made mental preparations that no matter what the outcome, he would not let his Imperial Sister get hurt, much less let her leave, and even prepared to make himself an enemy of the Emperor!
But now that he heard the Emperor laughing, he began to feel uneasy instead. Unless his Imperial Sister did something very important, the Emperor would not have forgiven her so easily based on how confident the Left Prime Minister was just now.
Thinking of this, he swept a quick glance at the Left Prime Minister. He didn't think the Left Prime Minister had this in him. He never cared much about the Left Prime Minister since he was busy with the bank and Zhao Prison prior to this, and he had also been meek.
Every time there was a conflict of interest with Gong Jue, the Left Prime Minister would take the initiative to take a step back, so Gong Jue did not bother too much about him.
But right now, Gong Jue looked at him with eyes to kill!
At this moment, the Left Prime Minister's complexion looked terrible!
The Emperor laughed, which proved that Gong Yimo had succeeded! She managed to convince the Emperor! How did she do it? The Emperor was clearly suspicious of her!
Without having to wait long, the crowd was summoned into the palace once more, and this time, the atmosphere was completely different!
The Emperor was delighted, beaming from ear to ear! On the other hand, Chang Xi had a bitter expression as if he was shocked and unsure. Who knows what went on to make an old man like him lose his composure?
Gong Yimo was standing beside the Emperor, smiling. When Gong Jue came in, she even winked at him!
Even though Gong Jue felt that something was wrong, he still returned her smile when he saw that she was at ease. He only hoped that she was really fine, but he can go and ask her later.
The Left Prime Minister looked at the Emperor and Gong Yimo's happy expressions and couldn't hold it in anymore. He took a step forward and carefully asked.
"Your Majesty, regarding her three capital offenses, how will she be dealt with?"
Gong Cheng looked at him with some dissatisfaction. For the very first time, he felt that the Left Prime Minister had bad judgment.
"What offenses? Mo'er is Our daughter! What wrong has she done?"
As soon as Gong Cheng said this, blood drained from the Left Prime Minister's face, and he was so shocked that he forgot himself for a moment and blurted out, "But she was clearly suspected of treason…"
"If We say no, We mean no! Are you questioning Us, Long Aiqing?"
Seeing Gong Cheng's face dim, the Left Prime Minister quickly knelt down as if woken from a dream and gritted his teeth secretly.
"This minister does not dare!"
Only then did Gong Cheng give a satisfied humph.
Then, coldly he said, "I hope you will all remember! Mo'er is Our daughter! From today on, We do not wish to hear any such nonsense of her betraying her country!"
"The ministers obey His Majesty's orders—"
A good number of people subconsciously bowed in submission. At this moment, an imperial censor felt that it was not right and stepped forward to say.
"Your Majesty, this is no joke! Your majesty demoted this woman yourself. She is no longer the Princess of Zhaoyang, so she is no longer Your Majesty's daughter!"
