"So, I ask that Your Majesty grant me the marriage."
Finally, Gong Jue ended his speech. He knelt down towards the emperor with sincerity, and of course, Qian Li followed suit.
Naturally, Qian Li did not do it on her own accord. It was because when Gong Jue kneeled down, he suddenly pulled her up, and before he could even resist, she had already kneeled down.
"Married?"
Gong Ye indifferently repeated himself, and then his gaze landed on the two people kneeling below him.
"Yes, it means marriage." Gong Jue, who had not noticed the change in his attitude, boldly repeated himself, while Gong Ming was already kneeling at the side in fear, "Your majesty, please reconsider."
Gong Qu was clearly the most anxious. He immediately knelt and said, "Your majesty, please calm your anger, it is all your brother's fault. If you don't look favorably on your third brother, your third brother has been suffering from a severe illness recently. If you contradict the Emperor, then I hope that you can forgive me. "
"No, second brother, what do you want to say? My mind is very clear. "
Gong Qu panicked and said in a low voice, "Shut up."
Looking at this scene, Qian Li's intestines turned green. Should she sigh at Gong Jue's childishness, or should she sigh at herself for being taken in by such a retard?
Did he know that the more he acted this way, the more dangerous she would be?
Even though he couldn't figure out Gong Ye's current indecisive personality, and couldn't figure out what kind of perspective the current Gong Ye had on him, but she loved him so much in her previous life, and paid so much for Murong Yan yet, that he was able to kill her without holding back. Now, she was only Qian Li, wouldn't killing her be just a simple sentence?
"How dare you, Qian Li."
Indeed. Right after Gong Qu finished speaking, Gong Ye's voice sounded, and that voice was extremely angry.
Qian Li pursed her lips, mourning in her heart for a moment, and could only lower her head a little.
"Just what kind of monster are you, and why haven't you called me out yet?"
Monster?
Qian Li almost smiled. She would never have thought that the kindest person that Gong Ye ever spoke of would become a demon in the blink of an eye.
She parted her lips and laughed. However, his smile was filled with bitterness.
However, his smile was filled with sorrow.
Gong Ye stared blankly for a moment, his heart feeling a little apprehensive. In his memories, he only remembered seeing Murong Yan look at him with such a gaze on the day he was about to die.
It seemed like disappointment, like despair, like hatred, yet also like helplessness. Or perhaps, she was blaming herself for not being able to get along with others.
But why did Qian Li have such a gaze?
A voice in his heart was hooting nonstop, Gong Ye felt that other than the fact that Qian Li looked somewhat similar to her, she, too, was giving off a charisma that was very similar to Murong Yan's.
Thinking about it here, Gong Ye felt all the more that there must be some sort of relationship between this Qian Li in front of him and Murong Yan that he did not know about.
"Your Majesty, you …"
This sudden change of events scared Second Prince and Gong Ming, and they both knelt down with their heads bowed, while whispering some words about how the Emperor should calm his anger. Only Gong Jue, who was outside of the situation, still did not understand what was happening.
But this time, he was glared back at by the emperor just as he was about to speak. Furthermore, even if there was no emperor, Gong Qu still strongly urged him to shut up.
As a result, he could only kneel there in confusion.
"Didn't the emperor already know about Qian Li's origins?"
Hearing that, Qian Li raised her head, and replied with a smile yet not a smile.
How could Gong Ye be satisfied with such an answer? He stared intently at Qian Li. A young lady from the countryside was actually able to enchant two princes in such a short period of time. Qian Li, tell me, are you a little too capable? "
"Whoever you like, or who you like, isn't that what you and I want? How could the Emperor blame Qian Li for this? "
"I'm telling you, I won't grant you a marriage."
"Your majesty." This was the outcome of what Qian Li had hoped to hear in the first place, but Gong Jue, this devilish brat, did not know how to restrain himself.
Therefore, Gong Ye looked even more angry than before. He said, "Jue'er, it's fine if you mess around everyday, but we all know your personality, so no one has ever bothered about it. But now, you don't even listen to my words?"
"Your Imperial Majesty will listen to whatever your servant says, but feelings are your own business. Your Imperial Brother hopes that your Imperial Majesty won't interfere."
"Since it's your own matter, why did you let me grant you a marriage?"
The emperor was so angry that he laughed instead. He said, "Don't forget, as a prince, you are destined to be different from others. You may have the right to be decided by others, but you don't. Furthermore, she is not worthy. "
It was not as if Gong Jue didn't understand the reasoning behind the previous words, so he chose to remain silent. However, Gong Ye's last sentence had obviously enraged him.
He looked at the emperor, "I, your servant, have always known that as a prince, all decisions should be made by the imperial family, so we have already paid too much attention to these things. Your majesty, as a prince, can it be that we can't even pursue the people we like?"
Since they were all brothers of their own, and Gong Jue was Gong Ye's most beloved younger brother, he felt very upset looking at him right now, but this was a clear problem. Whether it was him or the other princes, these were all problems that everyone had to face.
Thus, he replied, "Of course,"
Gong Jue instantly laughed. "It's not like that, it's not like that at all. Why would the emperor lie? If you also felt that it was the same logic, then why did you unhesitatingly marry her when everyone disagreed with you and Murong Yan? But you said that you only wanted Murong Yan for your entire life, so you succeeded. In the end, Murong Yan successfully became your princess consort, and then the empress, the emperor, you did it, and I also know that even though the empress is no longer here, you were really happy during the years we were together. Now, it was the same for her younger brother. "Chendi also wants to become a happy person … No, a happy person forever …"
When Murong Yan was mentioned, everyone's expression immediately changed. Actually, if Gong Jue had not brought up this matter at this moment, Qian Li would never have known about it.
In her memories, the moment she had spoken with Gong Ye about being together, she had been a golden couple in the eyes of everyone.
She had never heard any gossip or knew that the emperor had actually opposed it at the time. Most importantly, Gong Ye had actually asked the late emperor for her sake …
But in her memories, Gong Ye had always belonged to the category of people who were extremely arrogant, he would never kowtow to anyone, and would never beg for anything.
In the past, he had even jokingly asked, "For a conceited person like you, have you ever begged for help in your entire life?"
At that time, Gong Ye had held back from answering her question for a long time.
Qian Li felt herself trembling a little. That is to say, when she was with Gong Ye just now, did he really love her?
"How dare you!"
Gong Ye was indeed angry, it was unknown whether it was because of what Gong Jue had said, or because he was thinking about Murong Yan. He pointed at Qian Li, and her eyes turned red, "It's different, the empress's identity is noble, she was born to be the prime minister's daughter, so marrying the prince is a matter of course, even if the Royal Father was against it at the time, but he also knew clearly, for us to marry Murong Yan, is a very appropriate thing for us, thus we agreed to it, but you are different. You are a prince, Qian Li is just a villager, from your identity, the two of you are those kind of people who can't even fight each other. Moreover, this woman is walking back and forth between you and Ninth Brother. I'm beginning to suspect if she has some ulterior motive. "
Qian Li was extremely grateful that Gong Ye did not agree with his views and bestowed the marriage on his, but if he doubted her character and her feelings, then he would definitely not be able to tolerate it.
"How did the emperor know that Qian Li has ulterior motives? And when did you see Qian Li standing between the two princes? "
"Isn't it? If I remember correctly, when we were in the hunting grounds, you said that the person you cared about was Ninth Brother. And also … Confess? For the sake of achieving her goal, a woman would not hesitate to use her own body to do such a shameless thing.
"Before meeting the emperor, Qian Li had always thought that the emperor was a good emperor who could differentiate right from wrong. It was only after seeing it that she realized that her previous judgement was all wrong."
