Gong Yimo rolled her eyes. “Can you stop crying? Do you know how much you’ve burdened your son? And you’re still crying! Without you, he could have been so free. He could have beautiful wives, and he may even stand a chance at obtaining that position. But just because of you, he was looked down on and trampled over by others.
“And aren’t you living well? You’re hidden all the way in the cold palace, you don’t have to think about anything, you don’t have to see anything. You start sobbing just as soon as you see him hurt, but that only makes it so he has to turn back to comfort you. Let me ask you, have you never thought about not humiliating yourself? What is even going on in your head?”
She was both straightforward and harsh. Yun Jin really couldn’t take it anymore! Yes, besides making life hard for others, she had no other use in life. Now, even her last wishes were trampled on ruthlessly by Gong Yimo. She suddenly screamed and pounced towards the ground, trying to grab her dagger!
Gong Yimo watched as she threw herself to the ground, but she did not care. Instead, she ran quickly to the door to lock it. When he heard the big ruckus, Jin Yun quickly came to bang on the door, but Gong Yimo had ignored Jin Yun’s anxious voice from behind the door and even blocked it. With cold eyes, she watched on as Yun Jin pointed the blade to her own neck, and her smug look almost seemed as if she was waiting for her to actually do it.
“Go on, what are you waiting for?”
Gong Yimo stood in front of the door and watched the woman on the ground.
At this time, her beautiful eyes had grown wide, and the blade that was almost at her neck was trembling, but she couldn’t do it.
Gong Yimo laughed. She truly is weak, always so afraid of everything, but still blaming everyone else around her.
“Are you waiting for him to come in and save you? Forget about it. I’ll watch the door for you. If you want to die, then go ahead.”
Jin Yun could not hear what was going on inside. He was constantly banging on the door, but nobody responded.
Yun Jin gritted her teeth, and she could practically feel her resentment towards Gong Yimo boiling in her blood. But so what? Since the people of this world could not stand having her alive, then she might as well just be dead!
As she thought of that, her hands suddenly moved. But just as the blade was about to reach, Gong Yimo suddenly caught her hand!
She tried to put more force into it, but she could hardly do much with her strength. That dagger did not move in the slightest. Gong Yimo squeezed her fingers, and with a pained shout, the dagger fell.
“Impudent!”
At this moment her hair was messy as if she had just been assaulted. She cried out, “Who are you! Why are you stopping me! Didn’t you want me to die? I’ll die for you right now!”
But Gong Yimo was no longer as aggressive as before. She reached out to stroke Yun Jin’s hair, but it might be because the act of it was too ridiculous, and because she seemed too strong, Yun Jin no longer dared to cry after a while.
Because she knew that Gong Yimo would not comfort her.
Gong Yimo touched her hair and laughed.
“You’re not even afraid of death, but you’re afraid of being touched by the emperor?”
These words caused Yun Jin’s face to turn white and then red again. It looked like she wanted to refute her, and yet she couldn’t find any words to.
“You’re not even afraid of death, but you’re afraid of the women in the harem? You’re not even afraid of death, so why can’t you try to please the emperor for the sake of compensating your own son? You’re not even afraid of death…Why can’t you muster the courage to leave the cold palace, and find that man?”
“You’re waiting for someone to save you, but why can’t you consider the possibility of saving yourself?”
