This time, Qian Li did not give Gong Ye the slightest opportunity to speak. Gong Qu raised his eyebrows slightly, Gong Jue's face was filled with worry, and only Gong Ming remained expressionless.

He should have known earlier, Qian Li would give such a reaction, but it was good as well. This way, her suspicions would be eliminated, which was a pretty good idea.

"Ninth Royal Brother, look at your family. They actually dared to treat us like this."

Being called out suddenly, Gong Ming became flustered, "Your majesty, please calm your anger. Qian Li is a villager, she has a free and unrestrained personality, but because she is compassionate, she did not have the heart to force her to learn etiquette. It is your brother's fault."

Gong Ming's reply caught him off guard, and not only did his expression change, even Gong Jue's expression changed greatly.

"No, Ninth Royal Brother, do you mean, you like Qian Li too?"

He was saying 'yes', not 'like' alone.

In fact, he should have already guessed it earlier, but what Qian Li had told him before was that she was infatuated with Gong Ming but it looked like Gong Ming did not have much feelings for her. However, because of this, he felt that if she rashly asked Gong Ming to leave, he would not agree, and directly sent a letter to the emperor.

However …

This was also the real reason why he didn't dare to directly tell this matter to Qian Li and Gong Ming, right?

Because he was worried that Gong Ming would object if he tried, he decided to cut him down first. But now …

It didn't look so smooth.

Hearing this, Gong Ming looked up at Gong Jue with a questioning gaze. Even though he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to be saying it again, "This king and Qian Li are a pair. There is no need for the three Royal Brother s to interfere. " In that case.

"Alright."

Just when Gong Jue didn't know how he should look them in the eye, Gong Ye suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Let's talk about this later. Don't forget why we called you here today."

The three of them came back to their senses, cupped their fists, and said. "Yes."

"Since none of you have found anything, then I will first tell you what I have found so far."

"Yes."

"I've discovered that the subject is getting bolder and bolder. For some unknown purpose, he actually dares to disobey my orders and do some unexpected things."

"Your Majesty, you mean …"

"In the month before the hunting grounds started, I had already secretly sent people over to investigate. The reason was to ensure that none of the emperors and officials thought anything bad about it, and for the sake of safety, I had even asked the guards to eliminate all possible dangerous animals within the forest, and even the ministers and officials informed them of their departure. Who would have thought, that during such a short period of time, they would actually take advantage of the loopholes and even … and put it in. "

"Have you found out who it is?"

"According to the evidence left behind by the hunting grounds and the people that caught it, there are at least two groups of people. One group is from the Prime Minister's group, the other group is the President."

"They are usually very loyal to the Emperor. How could they do such a thing? I heard that the Emperor met an assassin that day, could it be …?" The person who had followed up these words was naturally Second Prince Gong Qu, the one the Emperor had always placed a high value on.

"Not really. They don't dare to do anything to me, and judging from what I've done so far." Their target seemed to always be … "Ninth royal brother?"

"Chendi …" Chendi … I wonder what's going on. "

"Looks like the Emperor needs to spend some time and effort on these matters. Forget about the big and logical ones, you need to understand them and deal with them and differentiate them. You should still have some ability to distinguish these trivial matters."

Gong Ming's expression stiffened, "Chendi will remember your majesty's teachings."

"Hmph, I didn't teach you anything. Is it just that my royal brother can't even handle the matters in his own backyard?" "Before, when so many women arrived at the palace and you didn't even make proper arrangements, even the imperial concubine needed me to personally issue an order. But now, not long after the decree was issued, something like this happened again."

"As the saying goes, 'The house is ugly but cannot be made public'. My royal brother should have more snacks on these matters. I do not wish to see a conflict like this happen a second time."

"Yes …"

Gong Ming nodded his head obediently, but when he saw that the emperor still had something to say, he mustered up his courage and continued to ask, "But little brother Chen really doesn't know why this is happening. Logically speaking, little brother should be related to the two lords by blood, they shouldn't be treating little brother Chen like this."

"You still don't know why this is happening?" The emperor seemed to be enraged to the extreme. He glared at Gong Ming and felt his blood boil. "Why would we be brothers with such a stupid person like you?"

Gong Ming seemed to be shocked, "How can this be compared? The emperor is the direct descendant of the Empress, and Chendi's mother is just an unfavoured maid in the Royal Father."

These words were belittling him, even if Gong Ye was angry, he could not continue to use this kind of reason.

Gong Ye, who had calmed down, quickly rescued him, "We don't mean that. We have never disliked any one of you brothers, it's just that the one who was injured is someone from your family. The one who was threatened is you, we are just concerned about you."

Gong Ming was overwhelmed by the favor. "I understand."

Gong Ye sighed, "It's good that you understand."

"What do you two think?"

In order to prevent himself from dying from anger, the emperor stopped talking to Gong Ming and turned to ask Gong Jue and Gong Qu.

"Royal brother is not particularly clear about the matters in the Ninth Prince's residence, but he is also clear that the two Masters are not people who would mess around, if he were to take the young lady called Qian Li to the hunt, he might have angered the two lords, right? Fortunately, Ninth Royal Brother was not injured. It seemed like their target was not Ninth Royal Brother, but rather … That lady called Qian Li, right? "

Hearing this, Gong Jue could no longer stay calm, "What, since their target is Qian Li, Ninth Royal Brother, at that time, you actually were able to be ruthless enough to let Qian Li leave and face danger alone."

Gong Ming replied subserviently, "It was Qian Li who told me to leave first. At that time, even Chendi was helpless to do anything. "

"A grown man, what kind of man would he be if he let a woman fend for him in times of crisis?"

"Third brother."

Hearing that his words were a little excessive, Gong Qu quickly opened his mouth to interrupt Gong Jue, but he clearly did not plan on letting him go just like that. Did chendi say something wrong? "This kind of behavior is a sign of cowardice, it's a waste …"

Fortunately, Qian Li still said that she would not leave Gong Ming's side in this life. But after saying that, Gong Jue felt that it was not good for him to say it out loud, so she endured.

"What did you lose?" the Emperor asked.

Gong Jue frowned, but still endured it in the end, "It's nothing, I just feel like this action makes people angry."

"Alright, Jue'er, don't say anything for now."

Gong Jue immediately glared at him. "But Your Majesty, my younger brother …"

"Second brother, tell me about it."

He said, "The three consorts have been in the palace for a long time, and after so many years, they seem to have been at peace on the surface. After each of them became concubines, they should have been in harmony with each other, and there is only one reason for that: Ninth Brother treated them almost as equals, and even the concubines in the palace have little time to become pregnant. It can be seen that there isn't much need to fight for them, it's just that …" The royal hunt is an important place. The princes, ministers, and women who are brought there, including the emperor, are all those with the highest status or are most doted on, or are directly brought out without taking anyone with them. However, Ninth Brother is a stranger.

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone else understood.

So he continued, "That's why Chendi had a bold guess. The reason the two sirs sent people to kill Miss Qian Li was actually only because of the relationship between Miss Qian Li and Ninth Brother. Maybe they aren't really going to chase after her either, it's just to teach her a lesson."

"He's almost dead, is he not doing this on purpose?" Then, should it be true if Qian Li and Chen Shuang are to both die? "
