Chapter 415: Where is She? (2)
Luckily, after doing so many things in the past few years, she had gained more experience and knowledge as well as recognition for her accomplishments. Now all she needed was a perfect plan for the emperor to acknowledge her title and position, and make sure that no one could stop her in the process of it. But that would take a lot of planning...
So Gong Yi Mo paced back and forth in front of the Da Yu capital gates, not entering in the end.
A few days passed, and the weather was bright and sunny.
In the imperial palace, Gong Jue felt something from outside, causing him to glance outside the window.
“All of the pawnshops along the bank of the river are owned by use. The only thing we need left is to renovate these into banks. We can use the canal as a source of transporting items and delivery. Many people want to collaborate with us, they’ve lined up to offer their partnership. All of these silvers are the upfront payment. It’s easy money, don’t you think so sire?”
As Bai Sheng finished with a smile, he noticed in surprise that Gong Jue was distracted. “Sire?”
This time, Gong Jue’s eyes moved onto him like lightning. Realizing he had startled him, he quickly knelt down!
“Sire...is...is that not appropriate?”
Gong Jue ignored him and instead asked, “How is the collaboration with Yu Heng going?”
Gong Jue wanted to expand as quickly as possible. If Yu Heng’s gold and silver banking system become more sophisticated by the day, the two countries could achieve great feats. Several people who wanted to invest would also use the canal. It was beneficial not only for himself, but could be put to good use.
Bai Sheng felt that this was strange. “Sire, Didn’t you see the secret report from Yu Heng a few days ago? Lately there was a great turmoil in the country, where the second prince caused some sort of uprising. This business may have to be delayed.”
Why was he so distracted today? For a diligent master like him, this was unprecedented!
Gong Jue noticed his abnormality today as well...
Yes...he had long known about the troubles in Yu Heng. Yu Heng had turned upside down in search of one person. In this short amount of time, he almost headed to Yu Heng himself.
To find that person, his sister!
But no one in Yu Heng found her in the end...then where had she gone in the end?
Thinking about how there was no chance for Gong Yi Mo to return to Da Yu, then she might’ve gone to the further countries of Lou Ye or Yu Qi. He felt a somewhat suffocating feeling inside his chest. He wanted to send someone to get her back!
He rubbed his eyebrows, unsure of why his heartbeat was increasing in speed once again.
“Were there any problems in the capital today?”
“Problems?” Bai Sheng thought about it. “Sire, I don’t recall anything strange happening today.”
“What?” Gong Jue calmly pressed his fingers to his eyebrows again, peering out the window.
“Why is my heart restless today?”
Bai Sheng laughed. “Perhaps it’s because sire has been overworking himself lately. You need to rest more...
Gong Jue didn’t answer him, distracted once again.
Bai Sheng naturally didn’t bother to start another conversation. While they were waiting for the princess, since he was a person that the princess sent to serve him, the master had been frequently using him. It was only because of this that he was able to become one of the few advisors who were close to the master.
In front of the masses, the master emitted a certain air of grandeur. Without needing to open his mouth, he was able to leave a lingering impression. In front of them though, although he acted a little cold at times, he was easy to get along with.
Seeing the master so distracted like this, probably...because he misses the princess again?
Love was a force that could drive others forward, but wasn’t it also just a device that hurt people?
Just as he was about to wordlessly exit the room, someone broke in! Someone actually broke in!!
Bai Sheng was shocked. Did this person want to die?!
Xiao Qi was couldn’t hold his excitement that he stopped caring about all the rules!
“Sire, there’s been news from outside the city. It seems that the princess has returned!!”
