no longer wanted to care about the aftermath. In the end, there were still people from the Uncle Li and the county magistrate.

She walked towards the aunt, her eyes cold. The aunt immediately took a few steps back.

"What, what do you want to do?"

At this time, Qian Li shifted her gaze to the butler at her side, and said: "If I were you, I would have definitely stood up at this time, the person I like would have been threatened by others, yet you, a man, are actually planning to be a turtle who hides in its shell?"

The butler did not speak, but his gaze towards Qian Li was fierce, as if blaming her for causing all this.

"There are some things I don't want to say, but that doesn't mean I really don't have any evidence."

"Actually, I don't care how intimate the relationship between the two of you is. What I care about is that you two framed me, and even made me suffer so much in prison, but in reality, it's nothing much. But you guys actually paid so much money to disregard human lives, so don't blame me for it.

"I won't ask for or bribe the Uncle Li like you do, but I won't let you get away with it either."

After saying that, Qian Li took an incense stick from the side, casually bowed to the coffin and apologized.

If she could, she didn't want to risk her life. However, things had already come to this point, and she had no other choice.

She nodded to Uncle Li and turned to leave, but was stopped by him.

Cleansing did not say anything, but stood still and waited seriously.

"As for the injuries I caused to Miss Qian Li previously, I'm here to apologize. As for the losses I've caused you, I also …"

He was interrupted by Qian Li before he could finish his sentence, "I didn't come here for that, of course, I am sorry for the damage done to you by exposing all these, as for the losses, I do not care."

With that said, Qian Li turned and left. She walked quickly and soon disappeared into the bustling streets.

"Alright. Now that your problem has been resolved, the rest is up to me. "

After returning to the run-down temple, Qian Li said to herself while covering her chest.

No, to be exact, she told the original owner.

The matter of the empress's burial had alarmed the entire world. The matter of her life had been written and read by the ceremonial officials, while Gong Ye personally sent her to the grave. The imperial concubine and the others accompanied her along, the scene was extremely grand.

Qian Li followed behind everyone. Seeing the coffin with her own body being carried, Qian Li could not tell what kind of feeling she was experiencing.

Gong Ye sat on the palanquin, dressed in white, his expression cold.

When they met again, Qian Li didn't think that she would use this kind of method. She had already tried very hard to suppress his anger, but she still couldn't completely suppress it.

She stared at Gong Ye as all sorts of feelings were mixed in her heart.

She really wanted to rush up and ask him if he regretted it. But in that case, with her current identity, how could she be qualified?

Gong Ye, I once loved you so much, but I hate you now.

I have loved you all through my youth, and now I am going to forget for the rest of my life...

Noticing this gaze, Gong Ye turned around, but upon turning his head, he realized that the gaze had already disappeared.

Looking at the vast sea of people, he felt as if his heart had suddenly become empty.

"Yi, why is there a coffin behind Empress's coffin?"

These words successfully made Qian Li raise her head again, and followed the crowd's gaze. Indeed, she saw a small coffin behind her coffin, from the looks of the material, it was not bad that it was choking to death, but compared to the Queen's, it looked extremely shabby.

Qian Li frowned, all the people from Prime Minister Mansion had already died, she had sneaked back home to visit, and not even a cat or dog was left behind.

So it couldn't be her family.

"It is said that she is the personal servant of the Empress when she was alive, her name is Xiao Lan or something."

Qian Li's eyes widened as she stared at the coffin in disbelief.

Could it really be the Xiao Lan?

But isn't she Gong Ye's man? Logically speaking, after getting rid of him, the Xiao Lan should receive even more attention.

"Isn't that so? It's said that she's a loyal maid. When the empress died, she charged into the fire with the empress without any care and died with her. She's a good girl, but unfortunately, she followed the wrong mistress."

"What do you mean by following the wrong master?" Although the Empress's family members had done too much, the Empress was a female general who fought alongside the Emperor. She had bowed to the death of this country, and didn't the Emperor say that such matters had nothing to do with the Empress. It was the empress herself who felt guilty about setting the Weiyang Palace on fire. "

The discussions were still continuing, but Qian Li was unable to continue listening to them.

She turned around and staggered back to the inn.

Uncle Li was already waiting. Looking at her dazed expression, he felt it was a little strange.

"What, could it be that the old injuries have recurred?"

Qian Li shook her head and when she raised her head, Uncle Li discovered that her eyes were already filled with tears.

She looked so fragile, so weak that she couldn't withstand a single blow.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel very uncomfortable. Can I trouble you to pour me a cup of water?"

From this position, the entire team could be seen with a single glance. This kind of display of power was comparable to … When the Emperor had married her, it had been much more glorious.

But what's the use of it, even in the limitless glory. After he died, there was nothing left.

Gong Ye, you told me before that I am your everything. So I always thought you would be my whole sky, but only now did I realize that you actually contained too much of everything, and I, who lost my whole sky, could not even breathe.

Without me, you can start over, you can have people you love again, you can have great rivers and mountains.

And I...

Thinking about it, Qian Li suddenly felt that it was extremely funny.

Heart, empty.

It wasn't that she didn't hear the discussions of the crowd. She even wanted to rush up and fight with them, but what could she do?

If she really did that, not only would she not be able to clear her entire clan's name, she would also be shaming her parents once again.

Qian Li clenched her teeth, and blood instantly flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

Ever since she knew that she had been reincarnated, Qian Li had thought of a thousand different, ten thousand different scenes.

Perhaps it was because her wings were full, and she was talking arrogantly in front of him about how much she hated him.

"What's the matter with you?"

Uncle Li passed the water over to Qian Li. He had indeed seen the anger in her eyes at that moment.

Qian Li did not reply, but placed the cup close to her mouth and started to drink.

She drank hard. Seemingly only in this way would he be able to fill up a part of his heart.

"Anything else?"

After drinking a cup of water, his flustered expression finally calmed down a little. Uncle Li waved his hand and had someone to bring water over.

Before even reaching Uncle Li's hands, Qian Li had already fiercely poured it into her mouth, the lips she bit earlier had turned white due to the cold water, and Qian Li's emotions had calmed down after this action.

When the pot of water was completely filled, she suddenly realized what she was doing.

She regained her senses and quickly retracted her emotions. Seeing Uncle Li looking at her with a face full of suspicion, she instantly felt a little guilty.

"I keep having the feeling that there's something going on between you and the empress. I feel like even when you were seeking justice for yourself, you weren't as scary as you are now."

"The Queen is my faith."

"Hmm?" It was as if they had never thought that Qian Li's answer would be like this, so the Uncle Li was momentarily stunned.

Qian Li wiped off the water on her face and looked at the funeral procession that was gradually leaving, with only desolation left in her heart.

In order to prevent herself from exposing any more flaws, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

"Did I tell you before that I've always treated the empress as my learning partner? Since she's my idol, then she's my faith, and I swear I'll also become someone like her in the future. But as you can see, there's nothing good about being like her."

After saying that, Qian Li curled her lips slightly, "I don't know if you've ever tried the suffocating feeling when you lose your faith, but I know it now."

Uncle Li pursed his lips. He had never experienced it before, but he had personally seen his master do it.

"Then, how are you now?"

Qian Li curled her lips, already returning to normal. Although her aura was still unstable, she had completely controlled her emotions. "Very good."

"Then let's make some preparations. Master wants to see you."

These words were like a clap of thunder, quickly hitting Qian Li's heart. It caused her to be instantly stunned in place.

'Is that man finally going to meet me? '
