Ch.580 Li Cheng (1)

Gong Che looked at the golden crown in his hand and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Yes, Father!”

He looked at Gong Yimo, and was once again impressed by her. It was the same as when he first saw her, she was like a goddess with murderous intent, sitting still in her cold palace, the ground was filled with dead bodies, and was so different compared to her little face that was stained with blood.

“Sister, I’ll crown you.”

Gong Yimo sighed slightly and lowered her head.

As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. She was never a person who would act irrationally, if there was a shortcut, why wouldn’t she take it?

Upon seeing the hostility in her eyes slowly disappear, she finally lowered her head.

At that moment, she seemed to have returned to being a sweet and kind princess, instead of the female version of the god of death, who seemed to be able to destroy the whole world when she was angry. It was really strange why two completely different characteristics appeared on her, isn’t it too contradicting?

When the golden crown was back on the top of her head, Gong Yimo heard cheers!

She glanced around, and only felt that these people who seemed to be happy for her from the bottom of her heart, showed completely different reactions from before.

At that moment, she seemed to have understood something.

People are all ignorant, it was natural for them to listen and believe in rumours, so why not she become the leader who dominates their thoughts?

In her previous life, she didn’t play mind games for power, but it doesn’t mean that she can’t.

With the crown on her, she calmly looked around. At this moment, everyone bowed at her. She smiled, she felt a different kind of emotion in her heart. Then she suddenly removed the largest pearl from the crown.

Everyone didn’t understand what she was doing. Just then, she said with her eyes closed, as she raised the pearl in her hand.

“Sacrifice life to the sky, benefit from the earth, the Grand Canal is completed, and this pearl completes the ceremony. May this river flow on and bless our people!”

What she actually said was the oath that needed to be said by the saintess who presided over the ceremony.

She walked to the edge of the cliff and threw the pearl down. The pearl hit the stone wall, with a flash of brilliance, it made a dull sound, and then disappeared instantly.

That expensive pearl, and just like this, it fell into the rapid Longteng River.

She closed her eyes, turned and smiled.

“The ceremony is complete! The pearl confines the land, may it bless our people! The name of this canal is——Zetian!”

Her words brought joy to the faces of all the people who had been silent, and they all bowed!

“The pearl confines the land, May it bless our people! All hail Dayu! May we prosper!”

“Da Yu is mighty! May we prosper!”

This sound echoed through the mountains like waves, and this made everyone’s heart surge! A sense of pride and patriotism was raised. No matter what had happened before, their excitement continuously rose! They were thankful and pious!

Then the ministers got up and threw the pearls down the ladder one by one. The common folk threw down their handmade items, such as food, or personal beloved items. These all represented their devotion to the gods. Right until the very last person was done, this thrilling ceremony finally came to an end.

On the way back, Gong Yimo sat on her seat as she closed her eyes to rest.

At this moment, her hand was only simply bandaged. Although she had the medicine, she didn’t know why but she wanted it to hurt and she didn’t apply any medicine.

Just then, someone squeezed into her sedan chair! This frightened Gong Yimo! As soon as she saw that it was Gong Jue, her heart beated even faster!

Couldn’t he lay low after the incident that happened just now?!

Gong Jue knew she was afraid, so talked first.
