Rebirth of the Tyrant's Pet: Regent Prince is too Fierce Chapter 412 - Returning Home (1)

Chapter 412: Returning Home (1)

That day, Gong Yi Mo actually didn’t leave.
After the chaotic scene yesterday, many people were still afraid of leaving their houses. The streets were left empty without any noise. Stores and stalls were all gone, not to mention the pathetic number of pedestrians on the streets!
Many people who entered the city were confused. After leaving for a few days, what had they returned to? What caused such a big change?
A person who just entered the city quietly asked someone, “Little brother, what happened here? Why is it like the city is completely empty?” This was the city the emperor resided in after all!
Gong Yi Mo glanced at the person behind her, shaking her head, “I’m not sure either.”
She was indeed unsure. After what happened yesterday…she decided to disguise herself as a young boy to easily get around the city.
She had raised her eyebrows when she saw the silent streets and casually found a place to stay for the night.
Very quickly, a few days had passed by.
In these few days, Gong Yi Mo had heard much news. News about Jin Yun’s betrayal and news about the Gui Fei begging to spare him, for example.
Or about how the Empress Dowager intervened and severely scolded the Gui Fei.
Or about…how an assassination suddenly appeared in the palace, causing the Gui Fei to be severely injured and giving the emperor such a shock that his old illness relapsed!
Gong Yi Mo always knew that Jin Sheng had a strange illness, it seems that his illness was indeed suspicious. She was currently enjoying some tea at a tea shop. After the events of the past few nights, the tea shop was calmingly peaceful.
Suddenly, a joyous cry came from outside. She raised her eyes to view the sight outside, only to see a boy with a face of excitement running and screaming at the same time in joy!
“The second prince has been restored*!”
Tn*: His title wasn’t taken from him.’
What?
This voice seemed to start a fire, as many doors that were shut suddenly opened!
“Thank the lord! I told you, the second prince is such a nice person, how could something happen?”
“I heard there was an assassin at the palace last night. The emperor is extremely sick. They also tossed out a bunch of corpses this morning!”
“Could that have to do with the second prince’s title being restored? His highness was quite furious, so how could he have calmed down so quickly?”
While there were many theories and debates going around, the majority of people were happy that Jin Yun was able to avoid any big trouble. Gong Yi Mo finally smiled for the first time in many days, lowering her head whilst drinking tea.
Originally, she had been planning to wait for news of Jin Yun’s danger to reach her ears before going to save him. Who knew that Jin Yun’s past few years had indeed beared fruit, having turned his situation around in merely a few days…
She stood up, thinking to herself that he was probably on the way back to the imperial palace. Perhaps they could meet up if she headed that way now!
Just as Gong Yi Mo was about to return and peacefully rest, her heart suddenly stopped for a second.
Her neighbors just happened to be discussing her.
“I heard that his highness was punished by the emperor for letting go of a Lin Country spy!”
“Spy?”
“Yes! I believe it was a princess of Lin! Apparently she wields a powerful weapon, so powerful that even Da Yu country’s emperor couldn’t even control her!
“A girl has the ability to do that? That’s truly frightening, thank god she’s left. But his highness is such a righteous person. How could he let go of a spy?”
“…”
Gong Yi Mo glanced at the people next to her. Although it was the same information, the same words being exchanged, but this time it was Yu Heng. No matter how comfortable Yu Heng was, it wasn’t her home.
This made Gong Yi Mo realize something she hadn’t thought about for a long time. Why did she have to stay here?
