  Ch.439 Buying Fate (2)

  Unlike the Left Prime Minister’s excitement, Gong Cheng was angry, but he still held a sense of reason. Holding back his fury, he asked.

  “Is everything written in this report true?”


  His voice was strong and resounded throughout the hall! His eyes were fixed on Gong Yimo, refusing to miss any of her expressions!

  If this is true, then no matter how reluctant he was, he had to make a decision for the sake of Dayu! And extinguish the fire before it gets hot!

  Gong Yimo raised her head to look at him, and her faint voice echoed in the palace. “It’s true.”


  “Then why did you return?!”


  Gong Cheng could not control his anger any longer. With a big wave of his hands, he flung his documents to the ground!

  When he roared, all the ministers present knelt down and kept quiet.

  But Gong Cheng’s eyes were like electricity, shooting straight towards that slender woman. He narrowed his eyes!

  “Did you come back just so We could kill you?!”


  Indeed, before everything else in the past could be settled, she was now a suspected traitor! And they were all capital offenses. Did she come back just to die?

  Under the steps, Gong Yimo did not kneel down, neither did Gong Jue. She couldn’t help but glance at Gong Jue. She could see that he had a cool expression on his face, but it was serious.

  She took a deep breath and knelt down.

  “I returned despite knowing that death was inevitable, so I wish to buy fate from His Majesty!”


  Her words boggled the minds of everyone present, but they still couldn’t help but panic.

  Gong Cheng sat atop his throne and leaned forward slightly when he heard what she said.

  “Whose fate are you buying?”


  Gong Yimo raised her head and looked at him with a straight back.

  “Naturally—my own!”


  Could one’s fate be bought?

  Quite a few people looked at each other while the Left Prime Minister and the others had expressions filled with caution. They knew in their hearts that Gong Yimo was going to try something again!

  What fate? This was clearly just an excuse! What is she going to use to buy it? What could make His Majesty pardon her for three capital offenses?

  The Left Prime Minister suddenly thought of something, and he was in shock!

  Could it be that Gong Yimo couldn’t resist the pressure and was finally going to hand out the firearms?!

  He wasn’t the only one who thought so. Almost everyone on the scene thought that. At the thought of Gong Yimo smashing the doors with firearms to seek an audience, perhaps this was her plan from the start?

  Gong Cheng was also temporarily silenced by her words! And his heart was uncertain……Why was Gong Yimo finally willing to do what she would rather die than do before? What was the reason?!

  But Gong Yimo had been clever since she was a child. Her method may be different than what they thought.

  “So, with what do you wish to buy it?”


  As he said that, he felt that the pressure wasn’t enough, so he sneered and said.

  “You have three capital offenses on your head!”


  Gong Yimo smiled. “Please retire everyone!”


  Gong Jue suddenly frowned. Before he could say anything, the Left Prime Minister was the first to object!

  “Your Majesty, you mustn’t! With her martial arts skills, you must never give Gong Yimo the chance to be alone with Your Majesty! This might be Yuheng’s plot!”


  His words caused Gong Cheng’s face to sink a little, but Gong Yimo laughed.

  “Eunuch Chang Xi can stay. No matter how powerful I, a woman, may be, could I best the number one expert in the palace?!”


  The Left Prime Minister was in a panic. This Gong Yimo was so cunning! If they all left, he was terrified that the Emperor would be convinced by Gong Yimo. And, if they were still here, then he could still make sure that he could impose the charge of treason on her, even if she really surrendered the firearms!

  After all, it was no lie that she spent three years with the neighboring prince. It would not be strange for her to do this for him! What if she was handing out the weapons now for an even greater scheme?! Anyway, he believed that with him here, Gong Yimo would never get what she wanted!

  “Please think twice, Your Majesty! This Gong Yimo is very cunning! Your Majesty must not be careless! What’s more, why can’t her words be heard by others? Her request is clearly fishy! Please rethink this decision, Your Majesty!”
