Chapter 478 Ascending the Tiantai and Asking Heaven! (1)
The lightning flashed and thunder rolled, coupled with harsh wind and strong rain!
People couldn’t help but be suspicious that everything that happened had to do with Gong Yimo.
But where was Gong Yimo?
Gong Jue glanced at the time. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was secretly worried... Could there be something that his royal sister couldn’t handle?
Even the common people under the stage were whispering, the discussion became louder and louder. It even covered the sound of the rain. Gong Jue could hear it clearly.
Even if Minister Zuo and his people didn’t say anything if the auspicious time passed, those honest and upright officials wouldn’t allow Gong Yimo to act that unruly.
Besides the royal family who had umbrellas, the officials’ clothes were soaked. It was one thing if Gong Yimo didn’t appear after the auspicious time passed, but there were so many officials and their family members waiting for her under the rain. If she really made it, they won’t let her go that easily unless she gave them a good explanation.
The rain got bigger and bigger, it was pouring! Even if the common people could withstand it and stay, how could the officials and their family members endure this?
The empress dowager didn’t dare look at Gong Jue nor did she dare to say anything. However, she instigated Imperial Consort Long to talk.
They were fine. The palace servants held the umbrellas for them. Therefore, Imperial Consort Long wasn’t that anxious. But she thought about it and had her people ask, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the auspicious time is about to pass. Should we continue to wait?”
The question was basically everyone’s question!
Gong Cheng was stunned. He wasn’t on his throne right now but at the Tiantai. Normal people couldn’t stay there for long. It was a holy ground. Therefore, this was the first time he appeared in front of everyone in such a battered state while being soaked.
He glanced at the end of the streets and said in a deep voice again, “Wait until the auspicious time has passed.”
Gong Jue glanced a bit gratefully at Gong Cheng. He might not be a good father, but he was thoughtful towards Gong Yimo.
At this point, someone suddenly called out, “Someone’s here!”
There was a commotion and almost everyone looked at the end of the street at the first moment. As expected, someone was running towards this direction.
Their first thought was that it was definitely not Gong Yimo. It might be that something happened to her, so a palace servant came over to deliver a message.
But just as everyone was lifting their heads and looking around, that person... walked closer...
She was...
The empress dowager peeked over. Only Gong Jue recognized her in one look!
“Royal sister!”
As he said this, he flew down from the Tiantai and dashed towards the figure.
She was really Gong Yimo!
Gong Cheng was shocked. When she was a bit closer, he was unable to believe the scene in front of his eyes!
Where was the ceremonial weaponry? Where were the imperial guards? Where was her court dress? Gong Cheng was unable to believe that Gong Yimo had run over with her ruffled hair and was barely wearing any clothes.
What was she carrying her hands? Why did it look like a head?!
By the time Gong Yimo approached them, many people shockingly noticed that not only were her clothes disheveled, but she was really carrying a head in her hands!
“Royal sister!”
Gong Jue was the first one to run to Gong Yimo’s side. Seeing her battered state, murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
Just who was it? Who dared to hurt his royal sister? He was going to tear that person apart!
Yet, Gong Yimo didn’t have time to talk to him. She had run to the stage under the Tiantai right now. There were countless common people ahead and the emperor who had been waiting for her a long time. Her heart felt slightly warmed up after seeing this.
