Gu Mo felt waves after waves of water rushing into his nose and mouth, trying to open his eyes painfully.
He decided to give up. Just like that, his body sank deeper and deeper into the ground. He could no longer feel anything.
When Gu Mo felt that his body did not have that strong sense of suppression and disharmony, he only felt that his surroundings were greyish white, and couldn't see or hear anything. He only thought that he had escaped from that body and died.
Before he could rejoice that he was finally free, he heard a voice approaching from afar.
"Look, is that Young Master Gu?" A voice seemed to be whispering in his ear. He could not detect any emotion in the voice.
"Aiya, how did I fall into the lake?" Another voice sounded, but the gloating in the words was light and easy to see.
"That slut Gu Moyan, what happened to his after he brought harm upon herself and became famous for a while?"
"Haha, aren't we soaking in the lake?"
"Let's see how the emperor treats you right now. Pfft, slut, you deserve it."
Then another crowd of people began to jeer at him.
In fact, in Gu Mo's previous life, there were many people who had been ridiculed and looked down upon him.
My lady, why do you have such a hard time? The Emperor ?" "The emperor will come visit you in a few days, wuu ?
Gu Mo sank into the water. He did not have any strength, as if he had died, but he could clearly feel the hatred and dissatisfaction these people had towards him. Amongst these voices, he could finally make out a sobbing sound that was barely audible.
Am I the Empress? Was it Gu Moyan?
Give me a second life, give the living people trouble, think of the one who just cried for me. The insignificant voices were drowned in the mockery, perhaps she would even implicate him.
Gu Mo looked down upon life, and even if he knew that he had once again lived a new life, in this world, he possessed another person's body as a wisp of a ghost's state. But what was the point in living after what those people had said just now?
Thinking about it this way, Gu Mo became tired, but the voices slowly disappeared and his consciousness returned to how it was when he first arrived.
The place where Gu Mo appeared in was precisely the Clear Stream Restaurant that the current emperor gave him.
The entire small building was surrounded by a lake. If one wanted to go to the small building, not only would they need to fly for a while, it would also take a long time for them to arrive even if they had to travel by boat.
That small building was located in the middle of the lake. Sometimes, when the lake was filled with some fog, it would give off the feeling of a mirage. If one did not lose it, it seemed that it would scatter upon contact.
The people on the other side were actually envious, and felt pity for the people in this small building in the clear stream. They envied him for being able to live in such a huge residence by himself. For such a deep, quiet environment, there was no need for him to participate in these scheming battles. Those who didn't know better would think that the emperor pitied him and didn't want him to be in that kind of environment.
However, compared to those who did not know him, those who knew him well could only avoid him in fear. They knew that this was a disguised form of house arrest for him, and even though he was there, the Emperor no longer visited him every day. It was as if he had neglected him greatly.
They knew their chance had come. Gu Moyan was spoiled.
Just today, he dared to travel to the other side of the lake, and that was already in violation of the emperor's bottom line. The emperor would definitely expel him from the palace, and he might even end his life there.
Towards all these, the concubines in the palace all did not doubt that Mo Guhan would do such a thing. They all knew Mo Guhan's personality very well.
