Qian Li originally wanted to say that Gong Ming was not a person who liked to talk.
"However, in order not to interrupt the housekeeper's interest, and because she really wanted to hear what the housekeeper had to say, she kept her lips pursed." The Hidden Guard sent back a message saying that when they found you, the prince almost ignored his identity and personally went to receive you. But when I saw that Lady Qian Li's entire body was covered in blood, this old servant even saw him slightly trembling. "
"Miss Qian Li, when Prince knew that you were about to die, he didn't eat nor drink at all and only accompanied you by your bedside. It was only when Lady Qian Li escaped from danger that he revealed a smile."
"So, what you're saying is that in this period of time, the people accompanying me are … "Your Highness?"
The butler nodded, "That's right. Besides the old servant, the prince doesn't even allow the servant girl to approach him."
Qian Li was shocked, "Then..."
Was it Gong Ming himself who had changed clothes and bathed or something?
Didn't that mean that he had touched her entire body?
Thinking of this, Qian Li almost spat out the water she was drinking.
Her eyes widened as she stared at the person in front of her.
"Then that …"
However, after a long time, he still couldn't say those words.
"What does Miss Qian Li want to say?"
Qian Li shook her head, she couldn't possibly ask the butler if she was right. Although she had already experienced countless of things between a man and a woman in her previous life, in the end, a woman's body was still an extremely secretive thing.
After being seen openly by someone like that, he felt bad.
At this moment, even with his thick skin, he was still unable to say anything else.
"No, nothing."
"This old servant knows, Miss Qian Li must be touched. This old servant knew that Miss Qian Li is the same as Prince, you are only people who seem cold on the surface, but are actually very concerned about each other."
Without waiting for Qian Li to speak, the butler continued, "Actually, even if Miss Qian Li did not say anything, this old servant already knew. If it wasn't for Miss Qian Li who helped the King block that sword strike at the hunting grounds, Miss Qian Li would not have suffered so much."
"No, that …"
Qian Li tried to explain, but her voice was drowned once again by the butler, "Miss Qian Li doesn't need to feel shy. At this moment, there is only this old servant and the young miss, there is nothing that cannot be said."
Qian Li frowned, she felt that she could not allow the butler to cause more trouble, so she asked, "Butler, can I say something?"
It was also at this time that he suddenly became alarmed. So it turned out that he had unknowingly said so many things to Qian Li.
Qian Li pursed her lips, then continued, "My life was saved by the Duke, and my identity is also the Duke's bodyguard. Although he had always taken care of me, and I was even able to live in a courtyard by myself, with people taking responsibility for my clothes, food, and clothing, and on the surface, showing everyone's respect, I was even treated as a friend by the Duke …" He did not know why, but when he said the word friend, Qian Li felt her heart stop beating. Gong Ming, did he really want to be friends with him?
I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?
Previously, he had spent so much effort to make himself willing to parry a sword for him. Now, he was looking after himself with such affection. What was his goal this time around?
But in fact...
She, Qian Li, had always been someone who knew how to repay a kindness. As long as he said it, forget about blocking a sword strike. Even if she died, Qian Li felt that she wouldn't necessarily think too much about it.
However, there were some things that, once mixed in with a conspiracy, would even cause others to fear them at first glance.
Thinking of this, all the thoughts from before vanished from his mind.
Qian Li understood that Gong Ming's previous actions definitely had a purpose. He would not do something so fearless.
Qian Li regained her senses, looked at the butler's concerned expression, and continued, "Qian Li will always remember the prince's good intentions towards me. In the future, I will definitely go through fire and water for the prince.
"But …" It was not that the butler didn't understand Qian Li's worries, but he had personally witnessed the worry and concern the Duke had for Qian Li.
Gong Ming could be considered to be a child that he had taken care of since he was young. Even if he couldn't completely guess what Gong Ming was thinking, he could still understand a lot of it.
Even if Gong Ming didn't say anything, he pretended not to care about what was in his eyes. As the saying went, those who were watching the scene knew that what he said was not without reason.
However, he was interrupted by Qian Li before he could finish speaking, and she looked at him very seriously. Recently, there have been a lot of rumours about Qian Li and the Duke. It's fine if those people don't know the truth, but Qian Li knows that you, as the butler, have never been the kind of person who does not understand what's going on, you must understand, right? "
Then, once again, without waiting for the butler to speak, Qian Li continued, "Butler, you changed your name because of this matter, right? You are the same as Prince, and are both the benefactors of Qian Li's elder Qian Li. To say that I have already forced Qian Li to submit to him, and in the future, this old servant will just address you like this, and I hope that the butler will stop using his title right in front of me. "
"Even if the butler and I don't care about the looks of those people, we are still people who work under the prince. It would not be good if we were caught."
In the end, Qian Li even said, "Housekeeper should know that Qian Li's status is low, even if the prince is not someone who is favored by the people, he is still a prince in the end. In the eyes of the people, if there really is anything between us, it is all wrong, I hope Housekeeper can think through the crux of it."
Following that, Qian Li took the food box that the butler brought him and walked into the house, she said, "Qian Li is tired, if there is nothing else, please return. In the end, if there is nothing important, please do not come to Qian Li's place, the butler is still the supervisor of the palace, he only wants to give Qian Li food, then you can have the servant or Attendant come, or at least, Qian Li can go get some."
With that said, Qian Li carried the food and walked into the house, and closed the door.
The butler stood at the door, unable to understand why Qian Li's face suddenly changed. In the end, he could only sigh.
He was not stupid.
He understood Qian Li's meaning.
[It seems I have been negligent for a long time. The king has never been someone who is incapable. It is just around the corner for me to inherit the throne in the future.]
His wangfei was destined to be different.
No matter if it was appearance or identity, it would definitely not be …
It could not be Qian Li.
Forget it, forget it. Before these two people could react, these outsiders would pretend that they didn't see or hear anything.
So what if the Prince likes Qian Li, there are already two Lateral Consort s, if Qian Li were to really marry the Prince, she would only be a concubine with no status.
Right now, it was fine if she did not have any status, but there was no honorable reason for those princesses to bully her. However, if Qian Li became a concubine, with her character, who knew how much suffering she would have to endure?
Sigh …
Since fate was predestined, then he would just treat these matters as passing clouds and smoke. Luckily, was awake enough, it was only with Qian Li's reminder that he was able to wake up in such a timely fashion.
In the future, if this matter got out of hand, there would be no room for an end to it.
However, just when everyone thought that this matter would end in this way, there was someone who refused to go over.
They were Gong Ming's two concubines.
Qianqian and Susu.
On this day, Susu brought a few people to Qian Li's courtyard. Her beautiful name was originally to give some tonic to Qian Li who had just woken up, but when Qian Li rejected her, she flew into a rage.
Furthermore, he even brought the servants by his side to frame Qian Li.
