The fire on the fire was still strong and the previous owner was in a hurry to leave, so there were really too many things left over. The medicine bowls were smoking on the fire, and they would occasionally spill out a little.
As time passed, the two rabbits on the shelf gradually dried up. After a long time, some oil dripped onto the fire. As the oil dripped onto the fire, a fragrant smell spread out.
Although the two of them did not speak, the atmosphere seemed to be a lot better.
However, beautiful things always come and go as fast as they can.
After a while, Gong Ming coughed, and black liquid flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
It was forbidden to use inner force after being poisoned. This would only deepen the poison.
But for some reason, when she saw the way Qian Li was acting just now, she couldn't bear to let her continue to eat those unnutritious steamed buns.
He had a complicated feeling in his heart and ran out before he could think about anything else.
Right now, his breath was unstable and the poison had started to spread. Even though he had quickly adjusted his breathing, it was still a little too slow.
Qian Li was extremely frightened by his current appearance.
"Mistress?"
"I need your help."
I have to admit that this person is really emotional. Just a moment ago, he was talking about this king with a face full of arrogance. When he needed help, he automatically switched places with me.
"Sure, go ahead."
"The wound on my back, the medicine just now. I chewed it and then spread it on my back."
The way he spoke was already strenuous, and the sweat on his forehead was also constantly reminding Qian Li that his situation was very serious.
Thus, he could no longer care about that.
She ripped off Gong Ming's clothes in a few steps.
She frowned slightly. She realized that she had spent the entire night stripping and dressing, but had done nothing else.
However, the situation was urgent and he could not think of anything else.
On Gong Ming's back, there were many crisscrossing scars, whips, knife wounds, arrow wounds, in short, all sorts of odd shapes.
However …
"Is it very strange?"
With the medicine applied to the wound, Gong Ming's spirit was in great pain. There was no need to look, just by feeling it, he could already guess what Qian Li was thinking about.
"Yes."
Qian Li nodded, after pulling his clothes back for him, she supported him and leaned behind him, following that, she fed him the medicine she brewed, and only then did she explain.
"I thought the prince's life was glorious." These words were true. Even between princes and imperial concubines, there were still many lies hidden, but …
Gong Ye was still living beautifully in that environment.
While she was speaking, Qian Li had already returned to her seat. She stretched out her hand and from time to time, she would flip through the rabbit, and as she watched the rabbit slowly become charred yellow, the desire to eat in her heart was not as ardent as wanting to know what kind of life Gong Ming had once experienced.
"That's someone else's prince."
"Hmm?"
Gong Ming's words made people puzzled, but after thinking about it more, it did not seem like he was puzzled at all.
The harem has three thousand beauties. There were very few people who could be from the same mother, so Gong Ming's words were understandable.
"Brilliant and beautiful, they are all princes born of respectable women, like the empress, or even the children of four imperial concubines. Besides them, all the other beauties, talents, and children of whatever are not worth mentioning. Of course, compared to them, those with status like mine are even less worth mentioning …"
"Oh, no. It can be said that in their eyes, people like me can at most be called weeds. I'm not even worthy to be called their shoes."
"So …" You've been having a hard time all these years. "
Gong Ming pursed his lips, and revealed a very bitter smile, but it was not the kind of bitter and resentful smile, but the kind of helpless smile he had after knowing the truth and being unable to change it.
However, if Qian Li had known from the start that every single word that Gong Ming had said to her was a premeditated plan, she definitely wouldn't have felt pity for him at this moment.
However, there was no such thing as' if 'in everything.
He said, "So it's not hard, it's really hard to survive."
It is said that because I was born in the Royal Father, I was directly executed after I was born. The one who did this was the Empress, but the culprit is the Royal Father.
"Then you …"
At first, I was adopted and given to a relatively spoiled but childless kid, so I actually lived a comfortable life for a few years. But three years later, after my dearest mistress, Zhao Yi, became pregnant and lost control of her emotions several times due to an accident or a miscalculation, and I finally found out my true identity. After losing my child and losing the love of my father, she started to treat me extremely …
"How should I put it, it should be irritability."
"At first, it was just a scolding, then a beating. But after being discovered by the Royal Father, it cannot be revealed, thus... "Just use the needle. That way, I'll be in pain, but I won't die and I won't leave any scars."
"Later on... "She's gone mad. The Hall of Rites has become an unfrequented place and all the eunuchs and palace maids in Mama have gone to their own homes. Therefore, I was the only one left in that place."
"I ate the things they threw away and wore clothes that even the eunuchs and palace maids did not wear. In such a dazzling place like the palace, I lived like a beggar."
"I was beaten, toyed with, and nearly died countless times. I've taken the blame for countless times, and I actually managed to survive in such an environment."
"Later, when the Royal Father passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, with a casual wave of Murong Yan's hand, I finally went from a beggar who didn't even have time to eat to a prince. I have an identity, I have grown up now, Gong Ye just ascended the throne, I need to do some things to show his love, so with a wave of my hand, I can finally leave the palace."
Qian Li couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was currently experiencing. It felt like being in the same boat with someone else, but also felt like something else.
It was strange, but she couldn't tell.
It was also at this moment that she finally realized that, in this world, there were many pitiful people.
It's just that everyone seems to be good at camouflage. However, everyone seemed to like letting everyone see their bright side, so they all thought that they were having a good time. In fact, if they really compared their beauty, they were not that much better off.
"It's all in the past now."
Qian Li suddenly said.
Yes, it's all in the past now, "The days of suffering have passed. As long as we can endure through the current transition period, then, one day, there will be a phoenix rebirth.
Gong Ming squinted his eyes, "You are right."
And then … After taking some medicine and resting for a while, he finally felt better.
He stood up and personally removed the rabbit.
"But if I don't eat my fill, how would I have the strength to struggle? Maybe I won't even have the strength to walk anymore."
He broke off one of the rabbit leg and gave it to Qian Li, who did not hesitate to take it.
Gong Ming did the same.
After eating their fill, the two of them went to rest.
Those medicines were really good. Nothing happened between the two of them. The next morning, the two of them woke up at almost the same time and looked at the clear sky. They barely had any communication before they set off on their journey.
Six hours later, they found the hidden guards. After consuming the detoxification pill, Gong Ming spat out a large mouthful of black blood. The hidden guard frowned but did not say anything, and just placed Gong Ming on the carriage and instructed Qian Li to take care of him before driving away.
He did not return to the Duke Palaces, but went to the courtyard where Gong Ming swore that he would not bring Qian Li out again.
So it turned out that the butler in the suburbs was someone who was extremely skilled in medicine. When Qian Li and Gong Ming arrived, he looked like she was about to collapse.
The Nanny Liu had always taken care of Qian Li, as they were all women after all, and were a little more convenient in all aspects, so her husband had always taken care of Gong Ming.
Her injuries were clearly lighter than Gong Ming's, so she woke up earlier than Gong Ming.
Nanny Liu still looked as if she wanted to say something, but if Qian Li didn't say it, she wouldn't have asked.
