Chapter 480 Obeying Heaven (1)
“That’s right!”
“Great!” Gong Cheng chuckled. “You’re worthy of being my daughter!”
The empress dowager was intimidated by the scene. She thought of something and didn’t dare to talk anymore.
However, Imperial Consort Long didn’t want Gong Yimo to be in the spotlight.
She said in a low voice, “Heaven might be furious that she has brought such a b.l.o.o.d.y head to the Tiantai on an auspicious day…”
At this time, thunder clapped as if responding to her. It was really a coincidence.
Gong Yimo looked at the sky and then at everyone, laughing fearlessly.
“As Da Yu’s princess, I had rid the country of a huge trouble on the first that I had been conferred the t.i.tle. Even heaven has to congratulate me!”
The moment she finished that, rain seemed to have decreased. However, the thunder became louder and louder.
People trembled in fear glancing at the cloud and the dense lightning and thunder.
Only Gong Yimo stood there fearlessly and with a clear conscience. Even Gong Cheng wondered if he had done something to infuriate heaven.
“Let’s start.”
Everyone accepted Gong Yimo’s fearless att.i.tude and because Gong Cheng was scared that the weather might change again, he urged in a low voice.
He could talk about the rest in the future. However, they must begin the t.i.tle conferring ceremony, otherwise they’d pa.s.s the auspicious time!
Gong Yimo naturally knew what was important. She placed Cang Xiu’s head on the only sacrifice offering table in the center. She got on one knee and vowed, “I, Gong Yimo, will make a vow here.”
She said each word slowly and clearly. Her expression was serious and she swore a dignified oath.
“I will love and be loyal to my country for as long as I am alive. I will treat my country’s glory as my glory, and my people’s worry as my worry. Even if I am a woman, I will treat my country’s matters as top priority. I will be loyal to my emperor first and then to myself. I will work to bring peace and glory to the world! I will offer Luo Ye’s people’s blood to heaven! If I betray my oath, let me receive punishment from heaven, and die a tragic death!”
Gong Yimo’s oath seemed to have some sort of magical power. The thunder in the sky became rash and impetuous. The sky became a purplish blue color!
But no one cared about the thunder right now. They were all shocked by the oath.
Her small body seemed to have unlimited power. She was magnamious and honorable. She wasn’t afraid of heaven nor its punishment. Each person felt contagious and felt a sense of honor!
“Good, good, good!”
Gong Cheng said “good” three times in a row. At this time, he was about to continue the ceremony when someone underneath the stage hollered loudly, “What’s the point of saying it that dignified and pompously? Either way, heavens can’t accept you, and you think that you can conceal that with your words?”
Gong Jue’s gaze locked in with the crowd, but there were too many people. Plus, it was raining. Besides locking in on the general direction, he couldn’t find the person at all.
The heavens couldn’t accept her?
What happened?
At this time, the imperial guards hurried over too, but they had favorable impressions of Gong Yimo. Therefore, they wouldn’t say anything rash.
The common people didn’t know about the situation in the beginning, but then the ones that arrived later on couldn’t help but tell them. As it turned out, Gong Yimo came to the Tiantai by herself because her ceremonial weaponry was struck by lightning, and it caused everyone to tremble in fear. No one dared to bring her over.
The news spread quickly. Many looked at Gong Yimo strangely. Plus, it was difficult to not believe it with the dangerous thunder in the sky.
Did heaven really dislike Gong Yimo and was she really a devil? Everyone was suspicious.
At this time, Gong Yimo suddenly laughed.
She stood up and turned around, facing the crowd.
