C148

After this incident, they didn't encounter any other incidents, and arrived at the royal study room without a hitch.

Gong Ye was completely focused on reading the memorial, but now that he looked at it again, he didn't feel as excited as he did back then.

Seeing Gong Ye constantly coughing, she was surprisingly able to maintain an incomparably calm expression.

"Your majesty, the princes have arrived."

Hearing Liu Xi's reminder, Gong Ye finally put down the thing in his hands and raised his head, "Greetings, your majesty."

"No need for formalities."

"I wonder if the Emperor called you all here for something important?"

After a while, Gong Qu asked directly.

The emperor slightly nodded his head, "The truth is, the reason why I summoned you all here today is because of the incident that happened a few months ago at the hunting grounds. At that time, because there were many things happening, a large number of people in the palace were injured, so I did not investigate this matter too deeply.

"I believe the Emperor will be able to come to a decision regarding this matter."

The current Gong Ye was very easy-going, and was not angry because of Second Prince's somewhat stiff tone, he waved his hand, "Don't worry, we're the monarchs of the imperial court, and we're still the most intimate brothers of the world after the next dynasty, why are you saying such words? We have called all of you here today because we want to hear your true thoughts. "

"Ah, you don't have to do this. I thought the Emperor called me over to announce some good news."

Gong Ye felt a headache coming on with this mischievous little brother of his, but luckily, he was the most relieved person in the entire palace.

He smiled slightly and said rather helplessly, "I know that that is not what you are concerned about. I will give you time to explain later, but right now, I need you to help me analyze this matter."

Gong Jue frowned, he could only compromise, "Alright then." After saying this, he continued to ask, "Then has the emperor found any clues recently?"

"You're shameless. I asked you first, but you actually asked me first?"

Gong Jue chuckled, "Chendi has been on the run for more than a month, and after returning, he has been recuperating from his injuries. In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and he no longer has the mood to investigate this. Furthermore, Chendi has always felt that as long as the Emperor is present, I'm fine with anything."

"You're really not in a hurry at all. However, I like your casual character. "

"Isn't that because several Royal Brother s have been pampering me since I was young? That's why I have such a personality, isn't it?"

"Alright, it's about time for me to get down to business."

This time, Gong Ye did not question him, but told him everything that he knew in a simple and concise manner. Qian Li could feel his gaze drifting down from above his body, but when he tried to investigate more, he found nothing.

Logically speaking, this should be a matter of the royal family, so in private, it should be a proof of this point. As an outsider, she was actually forced to stay here …

Thinking about it for a while, she still felt that it was not right. The most important thing was that Qian Li did not want to get involved in this mess so early in her life, and other than taking revenge, she did not care about anything else in this life.

Therefore, despite brazenly interrupting the Emperor for being disrespectful, Qian Li still took the initiative to speak up, "Your majesty, please wait."

If not for Qian Li's sudden words. The people present almost didn't know that there was another person here besides the prince.

"Oh?"

"Qian Li would like to ask, is the matter that Your Highness is about to ask about related to politics? Or perhaps, it is something extremely important? "

If it was in the past, Qian Li would definitely feel a chill in her heart, but the current her, who was immune to poisons, was not afraid at all when she saw such an expression. Instead, she continued to look at Gong Ye with her firm gaze.

"These things are not things that you can ask or ask about."

He kindly explained, but Qian Li didn't react. She was actually quite frightened, and immediately opened her mouth to explain for Qian Li. However, Qian Li was not the type of person who needed help.

"From the moment we entered until now, all of the people surrounding the Emperor were sent out. It can be imagined that what you wanted to say was very important, and since it's so important, as an outsider, Qian Li should have avoided it."

"Oh?"

"Qian Li does not understand the political affairs of the imperial court, but Qian Li has even less interest in understanding the royal family, so speaking of any bold words, even if the Emperor wanted to hear them, Qian Li would not be interested."

Gong Ye frowned slightly, he somehow felt that this courage of Qian Li's was familiar.

He did not reply to Qian Li, and did not give her any response either. Instead, his gaze fell on Gong Ming, who had been obediently bowing his head since the moment he entered the room.

"What a sharp-tongued person. I wonder where the Ninth Prince got himself such a country girl."

He discovered that every time he saw this woman, she gave off a different feeling. From the first time he was rude, to that time when they met at the hunting grounds, she seemed to have gone from a headstrong and willful countryside woman to a graceful and noble lady. And what was even more frightening was that every time he met her, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if … Qian Li had been with him for many years.

Just like a moment ago, he had actually always known that Qian Li was standing right in front of him.

Actually speaking in detail, the purpose of their meeting today was actually to probe out the situation. If Qian Li was still as ignorant and ignorant as she was the first time, who didn't even know what to say, or had been brazenly standing there listening to their conversation, it would have been fine. But it was different, Qian Li's personality was actually still very stable.

This could be seen from her eyes.

Moreover, not only was this woman very calm, she was also very … Wise.

He thought that he had read countless people and had never misjudged anyone, but Qian Li...

He really seemed to have seen wrongly.

If he had followed his heart from the very beginning, and brought Qian Li into the palace without caring about anything, would Gong Jue have nothing to do afterwards?

"Qian Li is... When brother saw that she was about to starve to death, he gave her some food. After that, in order to repay the debt of saving her life, Qian Li accompanied brother all the way here. "

"Forget it."

Gong Ye did not want to know about a little girl's past. His time was precious, and he did not have the mind to listen to their past. Just now, he asked that question to change the topic.

If one had good eyesight, they would have obediently shut their mouths at this moment. They might even have swallowed what had happened just now and listened obediently from the side.

But Qian Li was obviously not that kind of person.

Seeing Gong Ye not paying attention to his, the anger in her heart rose once again. She really did not want to see this person.

"If the Emperor truly has urgent matters to discuss with the other dukes, Qian Li will leave for now."

After saying that, without giving Gong Ye a chance to react, Qian Li immediately walked out.

"Halt."

No one had ever dared to be so rude to him, looked down on him, and ignored him so much. Hence, whether it was because of his selfishness or the pride of a man, Gong Ye would never allow Qian Li to go out like this.

"Does the emperor have any other orders?"

Seeing the emperor who had turned red from embarrassment, Qian Li remained calm. She did not even frown, much less be afraid.

"Did I say anything about letting you leave?"

Qian Li looked at him coldly. It was as if an adult was coldly staring at a child who was causing trouble for no reason.

"Qian Li did not leave, she just stood there and did not stop the emperor from discussing matters with the other princes. Why, the emperor would not use this kind of unreasonable reason to kill Qian Li, right?"

"You …" There had never been someone who could be so angry at himself before.

He pointed at Qian Li, unable to say a single word.

A hint of anger surged inside her heart, and Qian Li almost broke the finger of the person in front of him out of reflex, but she suppressed it with all her might, "Since the emperor doesn't have any orders, then Qian Li will go outside and wait. After the emperor and the princes finish discussing their matters, if there's anything you need, just call me Qian Li."
