"Is that so?" Of course, Qian Li wouldn't be so stupid as to expose them.

Gong Ye nodded, "Of course I am, I don't have that hobby of deceiving women." Hearing what he said, Qian Li forced himself to hold back from kicking his leg. There was no such hobby as cheating women, was he sure?

Then what about Murong Yan? What about now?

Worried that she might really do something excessive, Qian Li could only think of a way to change the topic. She turned around and looked at Gong Ming, her expression worried, "Your Highness, are you really alright? Do you need Qian Li to call a doctor for you? "

Gong Ming shook his head, his voice was still soft, "I'm fine."

Gong Ye retracted his gaze and looked at the pear tree. I've been to the palace countless times before, but I've actually never been to this place before. After I left today, I discovered that the beautiful scenery was actually hidden in the deepest part of the palace. "

Qian Li frowned, pretending as if she didn't understand.

"Miss Qian Li is beautiful. Such an environment is extremely suitable for you."

"Thank you."

Such an answer slightly stunned Gong Ye.

But soon he was back to normal. He continued, "I wonder what talents the girl has, why don't you show it to us?"

This person...

Why didn't I realize he was so shameless before?

"Nope."

"Chess painting?"

"Has this young master forgotten that Qian Li was born in poverty? Where did she get the money to learn all these? Only people like you who have had nothing to do and have eaten your fill would be capable of such elegant things as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, right? "

Gong Ming raised his head. He wanted to say something or try to interrupt them, but was cut off by Gong Ye.

His eyes were ice-cold, and the person who looked at Qian Li was a little cold.

"Then... He should at least have some skills, right? It's like any woman can sew and mend things.

Hearing this, Qian Li frowned, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Gong Ye was full of reproach and revulsion.

"I'm from the countryside. In the place where I was born, ordinary people from our village would either beg for food or work from the countryside. So, are you satisfied with my answer?"

When she was in her previous life, she had never had such an opportunity to speak to him in such a reckless manner or to look down on him. Now that she had such an opportunity, how could Qian Li possibly let it go?

The one who did not know was innocent, she did not believe that Gong Ye would be so stingy as to actually care about such a small thing with a little girl.

Of course, if he really wanted to fuss about it, Qian Li could only blame himself.

"Also, don't always use the same measure as you rich people do. People like you who eat too much food won't know the suffering of those of us who need to eat in order to live."

"Oh, yes. Isn't there another phrase that is especially popular in your circle? What was it called? The smell of wine and meat wafted through the streets, freezing them to death? I wonder if this young master has heard of such a thing before? "

Finally, under Qian Li's continuous attacks, Gong Ye was finally unable to hold on, and the smile on his face finally completely crumbled.

He immediately stood up.

With a mocking expression on his face.

"So it turns out that many seemingly beautiful things can only be discovered after truly coming into contact with each other. That's true. You are right, in the end, we are not people of the same circle. We are all unable to understand the specific circumstances of each other's lives." "Goodbye."

Finally, he said, "Oh, it would be best if we never see him again."

"Take care!"

"Little brother, little brother …" "Please listen to my explanation. Please listen to my explanation." Seeing Gong Ye walk away with a wave of his hand, Gong Ming quickly got up and followed him.

However, the look in her eyes before she left, had truly made Qian Li feel some lingering fear.

She did not know why Gong Ming had brought Gong Ye here in the first place.

But he definitely wouldn't shit his way out to vent his anger.

Firstly. Gong Ming did not know about the enmity between him and Gong Ye. Secondly, Gong Ming … Judging from the reaction just now, could it be …

Could it be that this person wanted him to obtain Gong Ye's trust and enter the palace later on? For an imperial concubine or for a servant?

Thinking about it, the cup in Qian Li's hands suddenly rolled out.

If it was really like this, then wouldn't he have really destroyed the huge matter regarding Gong Ming.

Just at this time, Qian Li felt a sudden gust of wind in the courtyard, and she had already stood up and turned around as fast as she could. However, before she could do anything else, her neck was already in someone's hands.

He kept backing up, and the feeling of suffocation on his neck was still very clear. The small door to the courtyard had already been closed.

The butler also appeared in the courtyard and spoke to Gong Ming who had gone berserk for no apparent reason.

"Your Highness showed mercy, Qian Li did not know that the person who did it would be the Emperor, nor did she know your original intention, she …"

"Would she not know?"

As Gong Ming said this, Qian Li's body was already tightly pressed against a pear tree behind him. After being nailed on top of it, her back was broken in many places.

The steward didn't answer, he just moved closer. His eyes were full of worry.

Qian Li finally understood what Gong Ming had said at the base that day.

He said, "There's no need to compete with This King, because you are no match for me in the first place."

She also finally understood that even though this person was arrogant, all he had to say was the truth.

"Don't think that just because you've beaten those people in the base that you think that you're amazing. Let me tell you, in the face of true strength, you're basically nothing … Nothing. It's just a useless little rookie, so Qian Li, don't let this duke know what you want to do behind my back, because your every single action is unable to escape this duke's sight. "

Qian Li felt a bit wronged, she grabbed onto Gong Ming's wrist tightly. Try not to let him get any closer.

She opened her mouth with great difficulty, "Master, Qian Li has something to say."

Gong Ming did not immediately let go of Qian Li. he asked. "Tell me, who are you? To be close to This King, what exactly is the purpose of shitting? "

"Qian Li actually wanted to answer, but the hand around her neck couldn't move her away, so she couldn't say a single word.

Her face was flushed red, and her originally delicate face had become distorted.

The uncomfortable feeling continued to attack him, and the strength in his hands seemed to gradually disappear.

"My prince, if you don't let go, Qian Li will not be able to speak."

Gong Ming turned his head to look at him, but he did not let go.

"This old servant and Prince know very well that Qian Li is a good seedling. It's not impossible for us to nurture a person with a similar ability to Qian Li, but... "The time required is really too long, so Your Highness, think twice …"

Actually, Qian Li's mind was already starting to get a little cloudy.

Her pupils dilated, her eyes rolled out, and she looked like she was about to die.

As her consciousness gradually left her body, Qian Li thought she saw that everyone on the wall was shaking their heads at her.

She was extremely anxious, and her tears fell drop by drop.

"No, no!"

The words that came out of his mouth were even more indistinct.

Tears fell onto the back of Gong Ming's hand and he was slightly stunned.

The strength in his hands suddenly decreased by a lot.

"Your Royal Highness, quickly let go, Qian Li can't continue anymore."

Hearing this. Gong Ming's hands had completely relaxed, the butler immediately went forward to support Qian Li's body, and slowly allowed her to sit.

It was also because of this that she did not fall directly to the ground.

Qian Li's body trembled slightly, as she kept muttering some incomprehensible words.

"Qian Li?"

The butler poured Qian Li a cup of tea and waited for him to cool down before giving it to him.

Qian Li's eyes were still in a daze, but she still complied and took the cup. Oh, no, accurately speaking, the cup was forced into her hand by the butler.

Afterwards, the butler held her hand and brought the cup to Qian Li's mouth.

Gong Ming turned around and sat on a stool not far away. He looked like he was thinking, and didn't say a word.

When her mouth was dry, even a fool would know he needed to drink water. Qian Li took a sip and finished the water in the cup with a gulp.

Then she looked up at the butler, her eyes filled with weakness and anticipation.

"More water, right?"

Qian Li did not say anything, only blinked her eyes a few times. The tears that she had just cried were still on her eyelashes, and her current blinking, gave her a feeling of pity.
