Rebirth of the Tyrant's Pet: Regent Prince is too Fierce

Chapter 146

There are countless things to consider. People are becoming more and more concerned as to whether the princess' promise is true, that soon, it will only take seven days connect the North to south of the kingdom.

This will be a great feat if accomplished, enough for people to spread songs of praise for many generations!

At the same time, they were even more worried that if a devoted princess like her was actually beheaded by the emperor because of slander, it would be heavy a loss to the world!

Gong Yi Mo spent two days and nights without sleep trying to reach Hengshui! Afterwards, she went straight for Xu Yuan's room!

He was meditating in front of his desk. He rubbed his bleary eyes, before noticing the person before him.

"Princess! Why are you here?" After that, he suddenly looked at her strangely and asked, "What happened?"

He said it without hesitation, as if he knew this was going to happen.

Gong Yi Mo was extremely tired, but when she heard this, she instinctively frowned. "What do you know?"

Xu Yuan was stupefied by her question. He looked at her with regret on his face...

"Two days ago...Li Ke passed by her."

Gong Yi Mo prepared herself emotionally, but when she heard this sentence, she still lost her balance for a moment.

It's okay. Perhaps she simply felt tired...

Seeing her pale face, Xu Yuan couldn't bear it. "Princess, don't be too sad..."

Xu Yuan angrily added, "We never expected Li Ke to be such a person! For the sake of ambition, he even gave his friends out to the emperor! Two days ago, he was ordered to return to the capital under the emperor's decree. I couldn't stop him, otherwise, I would've beaten him up myself!"

"Needless to say..."

Although Gong Yi Mo felt very tired, it was clear in her mind that Li Ke must reported to Long Gui Fei, not only concerning the prince, but also the fact that she had developed a lethal weapon. No wonder the emperor sent orders one after the other. The emperor can't be uninformed; he must surely be aware that an assassin was sent after Gong Che. But he couldn't resist the temptation to inquire what was in her hand. Perhaps her guess was true, that something happened at the palace and now the emperor wants her to turn in the gunpowder!

Gong Yi Mo closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were filled with determination!

"The emperor wants the prince to return to the capital, but an assassin attacked Prince Gong Che and now his life is at stake. There is no need to say anything else! I want to open the canal within a week, and allow the prince to return to the capital by boat. Otherwise, if he traveled by land and suffered through the bumpy road, he is bound to die on his way back.

Xu Yuan felt ashamed. "What else can I do about this? I also received the decree to return to the capital immediately. It's impossible to open the waterway within a week, so princess, why make the effort at all?"

Gong Yi Mo looked at him deeply and questioned, "Is it a waste of effort? You'll know from today. That's all, you head back first to the capital, but the rest of the workers must stay here and be sent under my command!"

Xu Yuan froze for a moment. "But- I've already dismissed the farmers and told them that they didn't have to come back again..."

Gong Yi Mo frowned slightly, but soon dismissed it. "It's nothing," she said. "I have my own opinion on this matter. All you have to do then is leave the prince in my care while you head back to the capital yourself."
