Chapter 419: Reunion (2)
The gentle scent of mint that came from him finally allowed Gong Yi Mo register the fact that Gong Jue had come. That, and how his arms were strong, his entire body full of strength. He was grown up now, and she could no longer treat him like a child.
With that thought, Gong Yi Mo felt her heart skip a beat.
The winter sun\'s rays shone upon the two of them, as Gong Jue reached out to hug her, and Gong Yi Mo extended her hand. In that moment when their hands touched, the sun\'s light engulfed them, making them appear to be shining.
One was clearly righteous and one was evil, yet the two balanced each other out, leaving a beauty that the eye couldn\'t look away from.
Several members of the audience unconsciously gasped, because they had never imagined Gong Jue to have such a gentle side to him.
The aura that Gong Jue had given off had always been harsh! Cold, certain, and killed without any hesitation.
If he didn\'t appear at one\'s house to confiscate all of their belongings, then it was to eradicate an entire clan. It was hard to see someone with such an image to be just like any other human being. If this wasn\'t Jue Gong, not the Qi Wang, then who was he?
The whispers of the citizens made Gong Yi Mo come back to her senses. She gently pushed Gong Jue aside, but now she was stuck between the giant boulder and him. The distance was…enough to make her panic.
So she moved over to the side a little, ducked her head under, and said, "Thank you brother!"
She strongly emphasized those words, pulling those in a trance back to reality. They had almost forgotten that they were watching the cold-blooded Qi Wang, who was also brother the princess had protected! No wonder their relationship was so good!
They noticed that Gong Jue hadn\'t brought anyone with him, having came in a hurry, only explained more of their deep relationship. They also feared Gong Jue a little less, since he seemed quite human after observing him a little more.
Gong Jue\'s mouth curled up, admiring Gong Yi Mo\'s witty action. He took her hand just like how an older brother would hold the hand of his younger sister.
"Come, let\'s go see father emperor." It was important that he remained natural, and no one felt that this was strange.
The crowds suddenly remembered that Gong Yi Mo needed to enter the palace! They began excitedly cheering once again.
"The princess is returning to the palace!"
"The princess is returning to the palace-"
This news was passed on by mouth and arrived at the largest streets and smallest, bringing joy and celebration everywhere!
It was only now that Gong Jue realized he should\'ve been smarter and not hurried off. He didn\'t even prepare a carriage.
Who knew that the excited crowds were already prepared and had sent for a cart that normally transported flowers. In front were two horses stood side by side, while a parallel board was behind the car, with armrests a little half over their heights. A very simple design!
With a cart ready, Gong Yi Mo, who naturally didn\'t want to walk, picked up her dress and was ready to get on, when Gong Jue stopped her.
He coldly glared at the flower cart. "A car like that isn\'t worthy for you to sit in," he declared.
It was true, this car was indeed too shabby!
"Just wait a moment. My men and horses will be here soon."
But Gong Yi Mo waved her hand as she didn\'t mind. "It\'s fine. The car looks simple and convenient. It looks fun, and I\'ve never ridden on one before!"
With that said, she quickly hopped on the cart!
Seeing the princess using their own flower cart, the owner of the cart felt that the car had been greatly blessed ! He would never clean it, never use it, ever again! It was to become a family heirloom!
Seeing Gong Jue refusing to get on, Gong Yi Mo curiously asked him why he refused, only for him to shake his head. "You can ride it by yourself."
Sister had just arrived back in the capital. He wasn\'t going to give those people any advantages. His only task was to protect her.
As he said this, Gong Jue began walking step by step with the flower cart, just like the rest of the people, all the way to the palace!
