Chapter 1170 (Damn, It's Me)
There was originally a better solution, but it didn't work, ultimately leaving everyone unhappy.
At this moment, Donghuang Baizhi also walked over and whispered, "Ye Hua, can you handle this matter leniently? Gong Yue is indeed guilty, but her heart is solely for Little Tian."
Ye Hua took a deep breath. If he doesn't kill Gong Yue, would it make him appear kind-hearted? But if he does, wouldn't he be too ruthless? A woman who came with a death wish, captured by him, fell in love with Little Tiian because of his own indecisiveness, leading her down an irreversible path.
"How do you think we should handle this?" Ye Hua asked in a deep voice.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi exchanged glances. Donghuang Baizhi, being experienced in such matters, said softly, "Gong Yue's actions indeed had a significant impact, but we also have faults. She shouldn't bear it alone. Ye Hua, don't you agree?"
Ye Hua sighed after hearing this. Donghuang Baizhi was right, and Ye Hua had to consider it.
Qing Ya added, "Ye Hua, Gong Yue entered the palace because of Little Tian, and yet he doesn't like her. That's why she did such things. Besides, she is now Little Tian's fiancee. Killing our own people seems a bit..."
Qing Ya didn't finish her sentence, but she implied that Gong Yue shouldn't deserve death.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura spread!
Ye Hua looked up with a serious expression.
Qian Yuqing and others looked at Gong Yue, finding it hard to believe, as if witnessing a second Yi Yi.
This dreadful aura emanated from Gong Yue herself. At this moment, Gong Yue showed no sentimentality, emitting a faint white light.
Gong Yue possessed Overlord strength, but she chose to end herself. For her, yesterday and today were like heaven and hell.
"There's no need for you to act; I'll do it myself," Gong Yue said softly. "Are you satisfied now? I use my life to repay yours."
Meng Yao remained silent after hearing this.
However, Ye Juetian, standing nearby, felt uncomfortable. It was the first time he heard Gong Yue's true feelings, and it was surprising. He never expected Gong Yue to think this way, doing all these things just for him, to make Yi Yi disappear from his mind.
Ye Juetian couldn't accept such an ending. In the end, it was he who indirectly harmed Yi Yi by plotting against her for his own sake.
'Did Gong Yue treat me well?' Looking back, Gong Yue was indeed caring and considerate, but his heart had always belonged to Yi Yi. Neglecting Gong Yue's kindness led to her increased resentment towards Yi Yi.
'It's all my fault!' Ye Juetian suddenly grabbed Gong Yue's wrist. It might be the first time he took the initiative to hold her wrist.
Gong Yue was stunned, and even Meng Yao, standing next to her, was shocked, not knowing what Ye Juetian intended to do.
Ye Hua and others were also puzzled. What was Little Tian trying to do?
Ye Juetian seemed to have figured it out and appeared much calmer.
"You're not wrong; the one truly at fault is me, Gong Yue... you don't need to die. The one who deserves to die is me." Ye Juetian suddenly laughed, realising that the current situation was due to his lack of courage, dragging his feet, being indecisive. No wonder people said he only looked like his big brother but had a completely different style.
From this incident, Ye Juetian realised how weak he truly was.
If he had rejected those suitors in the beginning and not let Gong Yue come, she would still be living with her parents and earning everyone's respect.
But here she was, by his side, trying to be good to him... but had he been good to her?
No... he only treated her as a friend.
Back then, he should have gathered the courage to bring Yi Yi into the palace, openly admitted his feelings, and declared that he only wanted this woman.
Honestly, if Ye Juetian had done that, even Ye Hua and Le Jing would have had no choice.
But Ye Juetian was an obedient child, too afraid to defy fate. It could only be said that destiny played its tricks.
"Are you going to die for her?" Meng Yao asked coldly, her face looking unpleasant. 'How dare you speak like this?! When I was bullied by so many people back then, did you ever speak up for me? Now you're talking about dying for her! Ye Juetian, are you still human?'
Gong Yue was dumbfounded, looking at Ye Juetian in disbelief. He... finally spoke for her... finally.
Two clear tears rolled down Gong Yue's cheeks. Even if she died now, she would die happily.
Ye Juetian looked at Meng Yao and said softly, "Yi Yi, I caused harm to you and her. Both of you are innocent. The one at fault is me, Ye Juetian. I don't deserve your love!"
Boom!
A fierce aura erupted from Ye Juetian, soaring into the sky.
Everyone in the entire Voidless Empire looked at this golden light. What's happening inside the imperial palace?
This aura is so terrifying.
For ordinary people, the aura emanating from a supreme being is a terrifying presence.
"Big brother, let me bear all the mistakes. Apologise to mother for me. Her son is unfilial and can't stay by her side anymore!" Ye Juetian said with a determined tone.
Ye Hua snorted, and his body suddenly emitted an even more ferocious aura, directly sending Ye Juetian flying.
Ye Juetian was like a projectile, piercing through the entire imperial palace.
"Fool!" Ye Hua coldly shouted, criticizing Ye Juetian for tarnishing his face by attempting suicide for two women.
Things happened too quickly. Meng Yao suddenly realised, disappeared on the spot, and so did Gong Yue.
At this moment, Ye Juetian fainted, barely escaping death.
Seeing that Ye Juetian was unharmed, Meng Yao breathed a sigh of relief. But thinking back, why did she worry about him?
Gong Yue was simpler. She sat next to Ye Juetian, holding him in her arms. She felt very happy. Suddenly she realised everything she did was worthwhile. Even if she died now, it was worth it.
Ignoring Gong Yue's embrace of Ye Juetian, Meng Yao walked to the side.
At this moment, Ye Hua, with everyone, moved closer.
"Gong Yue!" Ye Hua shouted.
Gong Yue respectfully bowed, "Your Majesty."
"Death penalty is avoidable, but life imprisonment is inescapable! I decree a lifelong confinement in the celestial prison for you. Do you have any objections?"
