Concubine Shang Yunxiao

Chapter 372 The emperor better know what he is doing

Those were just figments of her too-smart mind.

"Thank you, father." Yuan Xi saluted slightly, but did not show joy at Gong Qinglong's care.

"However..." Gong Qinglong continued, "The Crown Princess did not rescue her in time, and she also made a small mistake. Why don't you punish her to go back to her mother's house and contemplate for three days behind closed doors. Queen Mother, what do you think?"

Empress Dowager Chen couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of punishment was this.But since Gong Qinglong had already opened his mouth, she didn't want to refute him, after all he was already a mature emperor.

However, she whispered to Gong Qinglong worriedly: "The emperor better know what he is doing."

"Mother, don't worry." Gong Qinglong said.

"Hey, Ai's family has returned to the palace." The Empress Dowager Chen said indifferently before leaving, "The Crown Princess will not come to Jingtai Palace to pay her respects from now on."

Now that the imperial decree had been issued, Yuanxi took the moonlight and left the mansion after the Queen Mother left.Without giving Gong Qinglong a chance to speak, she left in a hurry without bringing a change of clothes.

Gong Pingao was called into the study by Gong Qinglong.

He cut his hands behind his back, looked at the splashed-ink landscape painting on the wall of the study, and asked casually: "If you were to choose again now, Ao'er, would you choose Jiangshan or beauty?"

Gong Pingao looked at Gong Qinglong with a majestic figure in surprise, he didn't understand his father's meaning for a while, and he didn't dare to answer rashly.

Gong Qinglong turned his head, looked at Gong Pingao with a smile and said, "Ao'er, do you still remember the scene when you knelt in front of me to ask for a concubine?"

"I remember." Gong Pingao's heart suddenly felt sad.It is now beyond recognition.Is his vow to love Yuanxi his whole life a dream?

"Back then you were brave, witty and sincere." Gong Qinglong put away his smile, looked deeply at Gong Pingao and said, "But what about you now? Not only do you not protect the girl you love so much, you also... …Beat her……"

Gong Pingao knelt down to Gong Qinglong at once: "I was so confused at that time, I didn't know what I was doing at all. I still love Xi'er very much in my heart, and I will definitely make up for what I committed. Mistake, please forgive Xier."

"Do you know Xi'er?" Gong Qinglong asked in a deep voice.

Gong Pingao looked at Gong Qinglong blankly.

"What you gave her was not a slap in the face, but a deprivation of her dignity. How much grief is needed to make a girl go out of the city late at night regardless of danger, and feel dejected in the wilderness?"
