Ch.428 Empress Dowager’s Killing Intent (1)

  “You wouldn’t dare!”


  Long Hanyan’s tone changed! She finally realized that Gong Yimo was afraid of nothing. She really would dare to kill her in the imperial city!

  “Gong Jue!” She was panicking now and suddenly called out Gong Jue’s name, her eyes filled with pleading. “She’s mad! She wants to kill me! The Empress Dowager will not forgive her! Hurry, save me!”


  Gong Jue looked at Gong Yimo. Even though killing Long Hanyan would bring her a lot of trouble, he was willing to cover for her if she wanted to do it, even if it meant going against the world.

  So, he smiled faintly.

  “Imperial Sister, you can do whatever you like.”


  He looked at the completely cleared ground in front of him, and at the dumbfounded commoners, and suddenly felt happy.

  Wasn’t he working so hard just so she could do whatever she wanted?

  “If you want to kill her, then kill her.”


  Long Hanyan could not believe how carefree he sounded when he said that! Her eyes turned wide as if she had a thousand words to say, but that expression would be her final expression in her demise!

  She—had her throat cut by Gong Yimo!

  She really killed her!

  Blood spurted out, and the sudden spray of scarlet caused the people to panic!

  Just now, they weren’t even afraid of all the swords when Gong Jue was protecting them, but when they saw their beloved princess kill someone, it was hard for them to accept even if Long Hanyan was the first to make the move. Because in their hearts, Gong Yimo was just like Bodhisattva—she was a compassionate person!

  As soon as Gong Yimo saw their expressions, she could tell exactly what their thoughts were, but this person had to be killed, and she was a woman of her word!

  What’s more……she really wasn’t a very compassionate person.

  She looked at the crowd and suddenly laughed. She had a very beautiful appearance so when that wide grin emerged on her face, she seemed to be glowing!

  After that laugh, she stood at the top of the steps and looked at the crowd below her, raising her brows lightly.

  “Do you all……find me frightening?”


  She asked in a soft voice. Even though her voice was light, it managed to drift into everyone’s ears just like a sigh.

  “The road into the palace is a dangerous one. The more I give in, the closer they approach. So, I must kill to show them that I’m not to be belittled. Do you find me frightening?”


  Her face was expressionless as she asked this, but everyone could feel her grief.

  Gong Yimo could smile as she took a person’s life, but she did not like to kill, be it an enemy or an innocent person.

  She looked over to the direction of the imperial city, but her expression was mysterious.

  “Someone tried to frame me when I was in there. I chose to escape. Later, even when I was armed with a weapon, I was framed again. Still, I chose to play dead and escaped. When I was discovered, and countless came after me, I still chose to escape……and was forced to leave the country.

  “.……I kept backing up, and I hid, so much so that I did not return for three years. Three years, I hid my identity.”


  A faint smile curved Gong Yimo lips, but her eyes looked bitter.

  But the past wasn’t worth mentioning. She covered it all up with a smile, and when she opened her eyes once more, she regained her calm and spirit!

  “So I came back this time, not to escape, but to face it head-on so that I can solve the problem!”


  She narrowed her eyes into a smile and swept her gaze through the crowd. However, the words that came out of her mouth were decisive, unstoppable like the rising sun!

  “—I will not retaliate against those who framed me, but anyone who blocks my path will meet their ends!”


  “I, Gong Yimo, will return! I will definitely return!”


  Then, she palmed her fist and bowed deeply to the people. “Today, it is thanks to your support that my confidence has doubled. However, it is also my fault that I caused everyone a great scare today. If any of you wish to leave now, I will thank you for coming, and I cannot thank you enough. Please accept my bow!”


  After that, she looked quietly at her crowd, her eyes filled with clarity, and she waited for their answer with a straight back.
