After going through several twists and turns, Qian Li finally returned to his own courtyard. Before she even got close, she could already feel that there was someone within the courtyard.

It was pitch black, and the people in the yard were all facing away from her. From this position, she couldn't accurately determine who the person in front of her was.

The surrounding environment was extremely quiet. The fragrance of pear blossoms lingered in the yard, mixed with a bit of it. It seemed to be a very familiar yet also a very unfamiliar scent.

It looked like they had met before, but they couldn't tell where they had seen it all at once.

"Who?"

Hearing movement, the people in the courtyard turned and looked at Qian Li, and after seeing her face clearly, Qian Li frowned.

Because she was unsure if the person in front of him wanted to be able to see something in the darkness, Qian Li did not dare to speak carelessly.

"Speak, who is it?"

After a series of questions, Qian Li suddenly felt that her life was really tiring.

If he didn't see something, he would have to guess. If he saw something with his own eyes, he would have to test it out.

"I heard from the butler that you were looking for This King."

Qian Li frowned, "Master?" Qian Li pretended to be shocked, now that the two of them were face to face, Gong Ming could see all of their expressions. Gong Ming only looked in this direction after hearing what he said, and there was no focus in his eyes.

So Qian Li guessed that he wouldn't be able to see her.

Without waiting for Gong Ming's reply, Qian Li took the initiative to explain, "Indeed, just now, there was something I needed to find master for, it's just that …"

But right now, wasn't Gong Ming supposed to be in a certain wangfei's courtyard?

As the saying goes, a moment of spring snack is worth thousands of gold.

"Master, why didn't you light the lamp?" Did you come alone? "

"The steward said that something very important had happened to your expression at that time, so I came straight over. On the other hand, where did you go to come back now?"

"I was worried that my return from the main gate would attract too much attention. I met with a little trouble on my way out, so …"

"The little trouble you're talking about, is that Gong Jue?"

Qian Li raised her eyebrows. Master, do you even know? "

"Gong Jue was openly looking for a lady in a red dress."

"He sure is high-profile."

"This King will take care of this matter. Just treat it as if it never happened. However, if you meet him in the future, remember to take a detour." Gong Jue, that person... "

Qian Li nodded, then thought that Gong Ming couldn't see it at all, so she replied, "I heard about the matters of the Third Prince a long time ago, so I naturally have to avoid a man like him. If possible, Qian Li would rather never know him. "

"It's good that you know."

After saying this, the two of them fell into silence.

Only after a long while did Gong Ming take out the Night Pearl from his bosom.

The gentle light illuminated the entire courtyard. Although it was not particularly bright, it was much better than the darkness from before.

"Master, why are you free to come here tonight?"

"Didn't you say that you have urgent matters to discuss with This King?"

"…" After talking for a long time, they actually went back around, and seeing that Gong Ming did not intend to stop her from doing anything, Qian Li filled the furnace with water.

If you feel uncomfortable, drink some hot water or eat something hot and warm to get in, it seems to be better.

She still hadn't eaten yet, so she felt a bit sick in her stomach.

"Forget it, let's not talk about such things on the day that Master is overjoyed." Maybe another day. "

Along the way, Qian Li had continuously reflected on it seriously. In the end, she had concluded that she had been too impulsive before.

But after knowing the truth of the matter as well as seeing so many people within the Prime Minister Mansion, she couldn't wait to know where her parents' corpses were.

"You should know my relationship with them."

Qian Li pursed her lips. It was because she knew that she didn't want to be involved at this time.

If someone saw that Gong Ming was actually not in one of the wangfei's courtyards but here, then she would really be unable to wash herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"No matter what Master did for the sake of marriage, and no matter if Master was willing to marry them or not, since you have already accepted this fact, then …" and accept all the consequences of that fact. "

After saying that, without waiting for Gong Ming to speak, he continued, "Master should go back first, you should act out the entire plan, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you."

Hearing that, Gong Ming stared straight at Qian Li, there was an emotion that Qian Li could not understand, but she did not dare think deeper into it.

"Since this king has already appeared, there is no reason for me to leave empty-handed. Tell me, what exactly is it that caused the usually calm Miss Qian Li to be so absent-minded?"

Knowing that she had no choice but to say nothing, Qian Li opened her mouth, "Then Qian Li can only offend."

Gong Ming nodded slightly, indicating that she better hurry up and tell him not to be so stuttering.

"It's like this. Qian Li accidentally received a piece of news today. The Prime Minister's wife had been dragged to the market and beheaded. More than a hundred people had been massacred at the Prime Minister Mansion, but those corpses had suddenly disappeared without a trace overnight. It was said that those corpses were found later at the cemetery, but there was still no news about the prime minister and his wife's corpse. To be more accurate, she seemed to have disappeared without a trace after being decapitated in the market … Does Master know about this? "

Hearing this, Gong Ming still did not speak. Seeing Qian Li take out the vegetable basket at the entrance and making something simple for himself,'s heart slightly trembled.

"Qian Li."

Only after a long while did Gong Ming open his mouth to speak. Even though Qian Li had already tried his best to remain calm, he could still see the worry in her eyes.

"Hmm?"

"You aren't a nosy person, but you've actually lost control of yourself several times over the matters of the Empress. Now you're actually so concerned about the matters of the Prime Minister Mansion, and even … On This King's wedding day, the question of how everyone can avoid it is raised. "

"Tell me, your relationship with Murong Yan is not as simple as you said it was, right?"

He already knew that this person's observation skills were extremely sinister. However, he never knew that he was such a meticulous person.

Thinking about this, Qian Li became extremely worried.

She pursed her lips and let out an awkward laugh.

However, that awkward smile looked extremely bitter due to her acting on it, so Gong Ming had no choice but to laugh.

She said, "Qian Li has already explained what she needed to do. Master, you have already investigated everything that you should not have told me. If Master is still unwilling to believe this or if there are still doubts in her words, Qian Li has no other choice. "

"You have indeed already explained it to me, but …" Qian Li, this king has a feeling that you haven't told this king everything yet. "

Qian Li continued to smile bitterly, "With Qian Li's one sentence, you can count all the experiences that she had, adding all of them together. Master is still interested in Qian Li, just say it, will Qian Li be able to remember everything and tell the truth? Or maybe, if Master is interested in the things that happened when I was young, Qian Li can try to recall them. "

Gong Ming's face froze, seeing that the water in the pot was already boiling, Qian Li placed the vegetables she had just washed into the pot.

"Why do you have to circle around This King? You know that what This King wants to know about has never been this."

Qian Li spread out her hands, indicating that she was helpless.

"What I know, I've told everything I know about myself to Master. As for the matter with Murong Family, if Master still feels that my attitude is not clear enough, then Qian Li can just say it again."

At this point, Qing Shui could almost see the green vegetables.

Gong Ming then placed a handful of noodles into the pot. Gong Ming slightly frowned, "There are a lot of delicious dishes in the Duke's Mansion today, yet you actually want to hide here and eat this kind of clear water that can't even be seen with the slightest bit of meat?"

"Eating too much fish and meat, occasionally eating some of these light foods would actually make you feel different. Master hasn't eaten yet, right? Would you like a bowl? "

Gong Ming frowned, "It doesn't look good at all."

"A lot of things can't just be looked at on the surface. People who don't look good can actually be amazing. And so can this side. The doctor said that eating a lot of food is good for the stomach and intestines. Mistress might really be able to give it a try. "
