"Yes." This time, Gong Ming did not make things too difficult for them, as he did not know if he was really too tired or not. It seemed that the medicine really had the effect of calming the mind. After drinking it, Qian Li kept on wanting to sleep.

Luckily she didn't say anything more, Gong Ming turned and left by himself.

"I still have a lot of things to take care of, so don't think about anything and rest up."

After Qian Li heard this, she nodded her head obediently, "Ok."

She was not one of those naughty people. In her previous life, she had a warm personality.

When he was sick, he could no longer maintain that kind of arrogant look. But even so, it still made Gong Ming feel slightly dazed.

Qian Li closed her eyes, her mind constantly imagining the scene in her dream. In her dreams, the boy's appearance suddenly became Gong Ming's.

She was scared stiff. Even though she had woken up several times in her sleep, she still couldn't resist the heaviness in her eyes.

"Princess, the Prince said that no one else is allowed to enter this room."

"This concubine is the mistress of the prince's mansion. Why would she become a random person?"

"It was a small mistake. What Your Highness said was that no one is allowed to disturb Miss Qian Li's rest."

"Are you sure you won't let me in?"

"Esteemed wangfei, please don't make things difficult for this one."

"I'll tell you this. Today, I really must enter this door."

Susu herself had only come over to take a look, but seeing the guard being so excessive, she was truly angry.

"Why would my sister be angry at a servant?" Even though she had now become a Lateral Consort, her education and the like would definitely be better than Susu's by a little.

Of course, that was limited to a moment.

If it was too long ago, he wouldn't be able to hide his thoughts.

"What are you doing here?"

Now, her child had only been with her for more than two months. Originally, she was extremely happy, but a few days ago, Qianqian had suddenly fainted.

This matter had truly infuriated her.

This wasn't even the time to recuperate from this matter, and Qian Li had already taken over all of Gong Ming's favors. The room that they, as concubines, had never entered before was actually lived in for such a long time.

Furthermore, what was even more infuriating was that ever since Qian Li had returned, the Duke had never gone to their room again. Instead, she had spent so much effort to take care of Qian Li.

This was not something a prince should do.

Recently, the entire palace has been passed down. In any case, given enough time, the Duke would definitely marry Miss Qian Li. Furthermore, they had recently heard many people saying that as long as the Duke had married Miss Qian Li, based on the affection the Duke had for her, it would not be impossible to cripple her and make Qian Li the main wife of the Duke …

Hearing these words, how could they sit still? After hearing that Qian Li had woken up, they immediately came over to take a look.

"What are you doing here?" He couldn't get in, and he even got laughed at by those people he hated. This kind of feeling was absolutely fatal.

"Hearing that Miss Qian Li has woken up, I came over to take a look. Presumably, my sister and I share the same thoughts."

Hearing that, Susu frowned, "Agreed?"

"Of course."

"What do you mean?"

"I've received a letter from home these past few days and accidentally found out a few things, but …"

Saying that, Qianqian looked around, only to see that there were people everywhere. Although everyone had their heads lowered, it was difficult to guarantee that these servants would turn around and speak nonsense.

Therefore, she continued, "This doesn't seem like a place to drink tea or chat. In my opinion, since we can't enter, we should just go in and find a place to sit. What do you think, sister?"

Susu herself did not agree, but looking at Qianqian's expression, it was obvious that there was something up. Furthermore, her previous plan had failed, and she guessed that Qianqian was looking for her for that very same reason, even if she did not want to go, she could only go.

"There's going to be a long time in the future, Lady Qian Li is right here. She won't be lost, let's just wait another day and see."

After saying that, Qianqian did not care whether Susu was willing or not, and directly extended her hand out and walked towards the exit.

What the two of them didn't see was that not far behind them stood another woman.

At this moment, seeing that the two of them had returned empty-handed, she turned around and prepared to leave as well.

"Empress isn't going over?"

Seeing Lianer's reaction, the servant girl behind her asked.

"No, since Your Highness has already said so, then we won't be able to enter even if we go."

"Does the Empress really care about Miss Qian Li?"

Lianer's eyes flashed, "Of course I am. How about this, you deliver the soup that I'm sitting on."

Hearing this, the young maid did not understand. "This servant has something that I have always kept hidden in my heart. I had originally wanted to not say it, but now that I see the Empress like this, I can't help it."

"We are sisters, and ever since I was sent to the palace by my family, you have always been by my side. No matter what life I lead, I have never said a single word of complaint, and in my heart, I have already treated you as a sister.

"The Empress has a kind heart, so she doesn't mind the fact that this servant has always treated this servant very well. Not just this servant, but everyone in the prince's estate knows the Empress's character, but …"

"But what?"

No matter what Lianer did, she was able to perfectly conceal her emotions. Even though the servant in front of her had been following her for many years, she had always been very careful. Actually, other than the fact that she occasionally exposed herself beside Qian Li, no one knew that she had another side to her.

"It's fine to be kind, but the Empress still needs to plan things out for herself. Currently, Your Highness only has three concubines, including you, and the other two are already pregnant, and only Your Highness' stomachs have not had any reaction. In the future, if it's really as those people said, Your Highness will marry Miss Qian Li …"

Before she even finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lianer. She said, "Since young, mother has told me that no matter what I do, I need to be good to others. I don't have any children in my womb, but what does that have to do with you? Furthermore, with your identity as the Prince, it is impossible for you to only have three women in your entire life. Even if you marry Miss Qian Li, it is a very normal thing, and not only us, there will probably be even more women in the future.

"But, esteemed wangfei, you …"

"I know what you mean, but let's not talk about such things in the future. For the rest of my life, as long as I have the chance to stay by your side, it will be enough. As for other things, I don't want to think too much about it.

"This servant naturally knows that the Empress is kind-hearted, but Empress, in the Prince's Mansion, it is not that you do not go and provoke others, but others will definitely not provoke you. A mother is too precious, if you don't have a child, and have always treated these women so well, then in the end, you will still be the one at a disadvantage?"

"For the rest of my life, I just want to live in peace in this prince's mansion. As for glory, wealth, etc., they have never been something that I care about. Quickly send it over. You won't be able to drink this soup if you're cold."

With that said, Lianer turned and left.

The young maid wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she didn't say anything.

After a moment, after confirming that Lianer was not around, she turned the corner.

Sure enough, the butler was waiting here.

"Butler, let this servant say it. My master definitely does not have such thoughts. The matter before must have been an accident."

The butler nodded, "I've heard what I said just now. It seems that I've misunderstood. Your master is kind. Don't talk to her about this kind of thing. It will make her less upset."

The young maid nodded, "This servant understands."

"Go down and accompany your master more. She is indeed a good girl. I will tell her more about your master after his rest. I hope she will not forget such a good girl."

Hearing this, the young maid seemed very happy.

After the maidservant left, the butler opened the box and entered the room.

Gong Ming was sitting inside.

"My lord. "You …"

"This King has already heard it."

Then, our surveillance of the Lateral Consort, can we remove it now?

"No rush." Gong Ming waved his hand, "This woman is much smarter than the other two. After enduring for so many years, her endurance cannot be compared to ordinary people."

"But, from her words and actions, she is indeed a person who can neither fight nor snatch. Could it be that we have misunderstood her previously?"

In fact, Gong Ming had always been being watched by people, and the things the butler said just now was only something they deliberately fabricated to test Lianer.

As for the young maid, she was indeed unaware.

"This king has always believed that I have read countless people and have never misjudged her. For this Lianer to be able to leave not the slightest flaw in front of so many people, it is sufficient to prove that she is a truly difficult character to come by."
