"Why didn't you tell me?" When Susu left the house, Qian Li looked at the butler.

"I didn't know that this matter would give Miss Qian Li such a huge blow."

Qian Li pursed her lips, unable to say the words to explain in the end. "Whatever, I'm sad, not because of this."

"Then, without waiting for the steward to speak, she continued." "Butler, if there's nothing else, please leave. I'm a bit tired."

"Miss Qian Li, actually the Prince …"

Before she could finish her explanation, Qian Li had already interrupted her, and she said. I just told you. The reason why I feel sad is not because of your Prince. Indeed, even if the three women in the Prince's Mansion were to become pregnant, I would not feel the slightest bit sad. "

The butler was puzzled. "Then …" Miss Qian Li is... "

"I just thought of something." Seeing the butler's extremely curious expression, in order to not let him think or misunderstand anything, Qian Li could only continue, "I heard that Empress Murong Yan was pregnant before the accident. Although very few people in the outside world know about this matter, there is no wall in this world that doesn't let the wind out, I just suddenly thought, if Murong Yan was still alive, then her child would have been born already."

Hearing this, the steward realized that he had suddenly lost his ability to speak. He was stunned for a long time, unable to say anything.

"If possible, I want to be alone for a while. Therefore …"

This time, the butler did not say anything else, slightly bowing his head before turning around and leaving.

The weather was already very warm, and the injuries on Qian Li's body had quickly healed. At this moment, other than the scars, there were no other areas of discomfort.

It was painful, just like the scars on his body. Although they looked like they had completely healed, the truth was that they had unknowingly sunk deep into his bone marrow and were etched deep into his heart.

It was obviously good weather, and the sun was shining brightly outside, but Qian Li suddenly felt cold. She hugged her body tightly, and did not understand why she would suddenly feel so sad.

After a long while, she suddenly stood up and walked out. She wanted to ask Gong Ming if he could let her bring out his or her corpse and bury it.

Seemingly only like that would allow her heart to feel slightly more at ease.

Qian Li's identity was something that very few people knew about, and her guessing of her identity. From the woman that the Duke liked to his friend until now, it had completely stopped at his friend.

That's right. After so long, if the two of them still hadn't made any substantial progress, you would only be like this in the future.

Moreover, after a few months had passed, the curiosity of the people in the Duke Palace regarding the relationship between Qian Li and Gong Ming had been completely replaced by the matters of the Duke and the Princess being pregnant.

However, no one dared to stop Qian Li.

As a result, although some people still looked at her with curiosity, it was a good thing that they did not obstruct her along the way.

"Miss Qian Li?"

Just as he walked to the front yard, he was stopped by someone. Qian Li looked at the person who called her, she felt that she was familiar, but she couldn't remember her name, he vaguely remembered that she was one of the many people who called her.

She stood still, her eyes glazed over, her expression absent-minded, her tone of voice absent-minded, "You called me?"

The man didn't have the slightest expression on his face. "I was just about to go to the backyard to call you. Coincidentally, if you're here, then you don't need me to go?"

Qian Li slowly blinked her eyes, "Is there something you need?"

The man slightly nodded, his range was very small, "To be more precise, the prince came looking for you because of something."

"Prince?"

It seemed that she did not expect Gong Ming to want to find her just as she was about to look for Gong Ming, but deep down, Qian Li did not want to admit that this was the so-called mutual understanding.

"Yes, if it's convenient for Miss Qian Li now, please come with me to the Duke's study."

"Oh."

Qian Li nodded, and then followed the man towards Gong Ming's study in a daze.

Qian Li had been to this place before.

However, he did not go in last time.

However, from what I heard, other than the few people designated by Gong Ming, no one else could enter Gong Ming's Su Hang.

Therefore, what kind of mentality did he have for letting himself go to the study?

Wasn't she worried about his princesses feeling disappointed after finding out?

Thinking about that, Qian Li quickly regained her senses. She secretly pinched herself, trying to quickly recover her senses.

However, the previous Hundred Souls techniques seemed to be a bit ineffective today.

It was only after they passed through several courtyards and all the way to the entrance of the study room that Qian Li finally felt that her condition had returned to normal. She lowered her head and looked at her palm. The place where she had placed her palm was now dripping with blood.

"The prince is waiting for you inside."

If that was the case, then it meant that this person did not intend to enter.

Qian Li nodded and personally pushed open the door.

She had previously seen many people's study room before, so Gong Ming's wasn't that strange when compared to theirs, it was just that there were a little more books here.

However, where it could be called a study, who did not have a lot of books?

Even if it was that seemingly unskilled Third Prince Gong Jue from Qian Li's impression, the books in that study room were already filled to the brim.

However, it was easy to tell whether the book was just for decoration or if someone was really looking at it.

"Close the door."

Gong Ming was focused on writing something on his desk. After hearing the order to not look back after the sound, Qian Li did not make a sound, but turned and closed the door.

The man before was still standing guard at the door, not too far away from them. Qian Li didn't know which concubine had sent someone to scout out the place, but she couldn't care less.

In this period of time, she had been working hard to maintain the distance between her and Gong Ming, and had also tried to distance herself from him. But it was very obvious that there were times when Gong Ming didn't understand her thoughts and wasn't willing to cooperate.

Qian Li sighed. As people who were in a position of power, what they considered were often only their own benefits. As for whether or not their actions would cause trouble for others, that was not the question that they would consider.

"There are a lot of books here. If you are interested, you can take a look. But for now, don't ask any questions. I'm busy right now."

Gong Ming had always been looking up, he used me when he spoke, so Qian Li guessed that he knew that the person who entered was herself.

It was just that, Qian Li did not understand why Gong Ming did not forget about it after he had explained everything so clearly.

Initially, he had thought that just by not mentioning him, he had silently agreed to his words. But now, he saw that Gong Ming was someone who was much more stubborn than him.

There were many questions in his heart, he wanted to ask why he called him, whether he really liked Murong Yan, and even wanted to know why he insisted on being his friend.

What's more, he wanted to ask, since he didn't like Susu at all, and didn't like Lianer at all, why did he have to follow them …

But the question that came up later, Qian Li only thought about it, and did not really think about it.

Furthermore …

Even if he really didn't have any feelings for those girls, men weren't stupid in front of beautiful women.

Furthermore, if those women had loved him wholeheartedly for him, they wouldn't have so many thoughts to keep an eye on him, right?

He might even be able to take advantage of the power behind them if he wasn't careful. From the looks of it, it was definitely something like killing two birds with one stone, if Gong Ming really ignored those girls, he would be the fool.

Forget it, this problem would then be silently eliminated by Qian Li.

She glanced at Gong Ming and nearly spoke up. Fortunately, despite her many thoughts, she still remembered his instructions before she opened her mouth, so she could only shut her mouth.

She looked around and realised that Gong Ming's study was truly huge.

He looked no different from an ordinary beast, but after walking around for a bit, he realized that there was a universe inside.

After going through a row of bookshelves, he entered a different room. Inside the room, he could see that it was filled with books that were arranged neatly.

Relying on the position inside, there was a whole bookshelf full of weapon books. Qian Li's eyes lit up, and directly walked towards that location.

She was also a woman who loved books. Before she met Gong Ye, the books she read were a bit more common, and after following Gong Ye, because she always needed to bring troops to war, she gradually fell in love with this seemingly heavy but actually very interesting military book.

Upon seeing this, a familiar feeling came over him.
