Chapter 546 The happiest and the most pitiful person (1)
Her moves were strong! Seeing that her hairpin was about to fall, Gong Jue squatted down, pulled her hand in time, and helped her remove her hairpin.
He was gentle and soft, a completely different person from when he faced Jin Yun.
Gong Yimo looked at him angrily, layers of her clothes were spread all over the ground, like a tiny rabbit in a traditional chinese dress, waiting to bite at him.
Gong Jue smiled. He gently removed the accessories from her hair, one by one. He didn’t hurt her at all throughout this process. Although the two were both squatted, they were still some distance between them.
“Emperor Sister, do you think that your life is rather miserable for you to encounter such a thing?”
He took off a hairpin with dangling ornaments from her hair, his expression was calm, with a slight smile on his face.
“I think I’m very pitiful too.”
Gong Yimo calmed down and said as she choked on her words, “How are you pitiful!”
She’s the one caught up in all these problems? Her love life is suddenly such a mess, and it’s love entanglements that she feared the most. What did he just say!
Gong Jue chuckled softly.
“I’m not pitiful now. Although I’ve lost my mother since a very young age and was not favoured in the palace. Back then, there were even people who wanted to kill me, but then I met you......”
His fingertip ran lightly through her hair, and his gaze landed on her hairpin, as if his words weren’t of any importance.
“You might not know...... when I was young, I hated everyone! Every time I was bullied and managed to survive, I cleaned myself up as I thought about how I would kill those people when I grew up! At that time, hate was the only motivation for me to live on.”
Speaking about this, he smiled softly, “You might not know this, but all those cruel punishments, that make everyone’s face turn green in the Zhao Prison, were all my ideas back when I was a kid. At that time, I thought to myself, not only the people who hurt me would have to go through a slow and painful death, the person behind all of it, even the accomplices, will not get away.”
After taking off all the hairpins on the right, Gong Jue moved to the left, he then gently and carefully removed the hairpins on the left. Some hairpins were entangled with some strands of hair, he would straighten out her hair very gently, as if they were rare treasures, without even a slight of impatience.
“All the servants who served me when I was not being favoured...... even if they didn’t hurt me, but as the crown prince and also their master, when someone hurt me, they didn’t help me because they were too timid, so they too, will have to die.”
Gong Yimo felt rather sad and distressed at first, but after hearing what he just said, she fell silent instead.
She was reminded of his watchful gaze when they first met, she never thought that this was his train of thought.
She never would’ve thought that he would be so bloodthirsty even at such a young age. No wonder, in his last life, after he was in power, the first thing he did was run a massive bloodbath in the palace...... At that time, even Su Miaolan couldn’t stop it.
Gong Jue continued on, “But then, do you know how well-behaved I was even after I was favoured again? I devoted myself to books, whether it was Empress Liu, Imperial noble consort, or those who betrayed me back then, I never seeked revenge on any of them, do you know why?”
After taking off all her hairpins, he suddenly stopped and looked at her in silence.
“Why, why......”
Gong Yimo’s eyes were still red, she was squatted in a small round ball on the ground, Gong Jue wanted to kiss and hug her again.
His pale fingers sank into her hair again.
