Chapter 307: The Gentle Heart of a Girl (2)
“But look, what have you done? He has a long way to go, and every step is difficult...But here, you are still adding on to his worries.”
Gong Yimo stood up and walked a circle around the room. “Earlier, you made such a big ruckus because the emperor wanted to touch you, even to the point of seeking death. Is it because you have somebody in your heart?”
Gong Yimo’s words shocked Yun Jin so much that she had forgotten all about crying.
Indeed, she had someone in her heart. That person was a palace musician, but then the emperor forcefully stepped in, and that man disappeared forever.
For the sake of that person, even if she was forced by the emperor, shackled all day long, and later even framed of committing adultery, which resulted in her banishment to the cold palace.
But she never thought that her nightmares would not end, not even in the cold palace. The emperor still sought her.
Gong Yimo could not help but laugh.
“Jin Yun...He is really the Emperor’s son, isn’t he?”
How could such a big matter be false? Yun Jin was also getting angry from this and she said firmly, “Naturally, Yun’er is of His Highness’ flesh!”
Gong Yimo clicked her tongue and suddenly came close, looking down at her from above.
“Then I really don’t understand. You’ve slept with him once, then what’s the difference with doing it twice? You’ve given him a child, but without thinking of the future of your own child, you instead dragged your own son down for the sake of a man who may not even love you. Are you really Jin Yun’s mother?”
Her words caused Yun Jin’s face to pale in an instant! What does she know? How scary was life in the harem? All those women were looking at her as if they wanted to swallow her down! She did not like living in the palace, nor did she have any fancy for the emperor. She wished so much that she could leave...That person said he would come to save her, so...there was no wrong in keeping her body for him...
Gong Yimo crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her. “There is a very accurate saying about women. As long their wrongs have been found, they will throw everything away and simply continue to walk the wrong path all the way to the end. You are also very persistent, your mistake lasted well over ten years.”
Gong Yimo knew that she would not be able to talk sense into this person. The more you try to persuade them, the more they will try to deny it. But if you shake them up by humiliating them, they may even take in a thing or two.
Madam Yun Jin looked blankly at her. Nobody had ever said such words to her. The emperor spoiled her, even if he later came to mistreat her. Her own sweetheart was very accommodating to her, even her son was very sensible and would compromise with her in everything.
While she was still thinking about this, she saw the other party pulling up her skirt and squatting down to meet her gaze, while the slightly imposing aura she gave out actually caused the frail Yun Jin to shrink back subconsciously. She was suddenly alarmed. Who was this person who was dressed as a servant...Why was she so special? Why would she say these things to her? And why did she scare her so much?
“Aren’t you a woman blind in love. Come, you haven’t yet told me, are you really Jin Yun’s real mother?”
Yun Jin bit her lip like a frightened rabbit. Only after a short pause did she say, “Naturally, I am!”
“Then tell me this. You’ve been in the cold palace for so many years. Besides your filial son who will bear with being reviled, trampled on, doing all he could for survival and would still insist on taking care of you even if he was dealing with troubles from every direction, trying his best to give you a better life, has that great hero in your heart ever come to see you?”
When she thought of that man with the stalwart figure, and Gong Yimo’s words, her pale lips paused. She could not muster even a single word. He did not come, not even once...Maybe he’s already dead, but she will not be able to leave this palace for the rest of her life. When she thought of this, Yun Jin began to cry once more from the sorrow she felt.
