"What do you mean? You better explain it to me immediately."
Actually, after so many years, even if I wasn't able to see his true face, I have a rather thorough understanding of his personality and temper. Even if he only had a glance in his eyes, I could understand what he was trying to express.
However, compared to before, his temper seemed to be much stronger now.
"Why explain? Does the emperor not understand?" "These are all literal meanings, aren't they easy to understand?"
"You …"
"Why does the emperor have to be so angry with a country bumpkin? It would seem that you have no taste for it." Qian Li seemed to not see Gong Ye's eyes that were about to explode, and spoke while minding his own business. Besides, did the emperor usually only listen to the words of the officials and never investigate matters? If that's the case, then Qian Li will have nothing to say. "
"Speak clearly."
Gong Ye felt that he was already angered to the extreme, yet he had unknowingly been forced into a dilemma. At this moment, if he was to really get angry, then he would be a villager like Qian Li, who had no taste, and who was also extremely stingy.
If he endured it this way, he felt that Qian Li would definitely underestimate him.
It would have been fine if there was no one by his side, but aside from the three princes, even the eunuchs were by his side.
He really didn't expect that he would lose to a little girl in the end.
However, he had found her dao, and he blamed himself for being so impatient.
"Just based on the words of His Highness the Third Prince, does the emperor really think that Qian Li had done something with His Highness? Isn't that a little too irresponsible?"
"So you're saying that Third Prince is lying to us?"
Qian Li raised her eyebrows slightly, she did not think that these brothers were similar in that they all liked to dig holes for others to jump into.
"Whether he is lying or not, this humble woman naturally does not dare to say. However, what this humble woman wants to say is that when Qian Li and the Third Prince did encounter many dangers at the bottom of the cliff, we did not save him because we liked him or her eyesight."
"If it wasn't because of love, how could they have been willing to give up their lives for each other?" Gong Ye asked in confusion, his tone carrying a trace of disbelief and envy.
"Not all things that are willing to give up their lives are fated and liked, just like this commoner's daughter against the Third Prince. I think that since we are talking about this, Qian Li has no choice but to clarify it. "
"Clarify."
"Yes, a clarification." Because her words just now almost made the emperor punish Qian Li, even if she heard the words that were not very nice to listen to, or even hurt herself, Gong Jue would definitely not dare to casually interrupt.
"During that one month of time, we had indeed experienced many things. The reason why Qian Li was willing to save our third prince, was not only because his highness had no choice but to save him, but also because her highness had almost lost her life because of Qian Li. Since Qian Li didn't want to owe anyone else anything in his life, naturally, she had to repay them with his life, just like how this commoner used to give Qian Li a bowl of hot tea and a bowl of rice.
"So what you're saying is that you don't actually have a good impression of either of the princes?"
It's just that I'm very sorry, other than this, Qian Li is also someone who values promises. At that time, when the Ninth Prince extended a helping hand to Qian Li, Qian Li had already swore that regardless of whether the Ninth Prince was willing to accept him, in this lifetime, Qian Li would only listen to her highness' orders, and as a person who lives in the Ninth Prince, he will still be the ghost of the Ninth Prince if he dies. "" Alright! "
Saying that, Qian Li looked towards Gong Jue, hoping that she could become friends, but since things had gotten to this point, it was impossible for them to be friends anymore.
But what could she do? Faced with such a situation, she could only choose the one she trusted more.
"Your Highness, if there was anything that Qian Li misunderstood, Qian Li would apologize to you here. I hope that you, your master, will not remember this lowly one, and forgive Qian Li. "
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, "You have just said it for half a day and it was only to make your decision, but don't forget, I am the one who can change your decision at any time. Furthermore, you have said it for such a long time, we did not see Qian Li explain the matter of you being close to him."
After saying that, he did not let Qian Li first answer his question, but turned to look at Ninth Prince Gong Ming, "Ninth brother, now it seems, even your feelings are one-sided, what, if this woman really has a physical relationship with Ju-er, what is your decision?"
"Of course, Chendi is willing to believe that there's nothing between Qian Li and Ninth Brother, but if there is, then Chendi is willing to help Qian Li and Third Brother. However, the prerequisite is that Qian Li must also like Third Brother, otherwise, Chendi is willing to accept Qian Li's past."
This was really not a reaction that a prince would have, but Gong Ye himself did not hold much hope for Gong Ming, just that, why was Third Brother so foolish as well?
"All of you have come today to anger me, right? All of you are so deep in love that I seem to be an unforgivable sinner if I don't agree to it."
"Alright, Qian Li, why don't you first tell us what happened?"
Qian Li frowned, and then she truly began to speak from the beginning, "Just now, when she fell down, Qian Li's abdomen was continuously injured, and she became inflamed after being contaminated by the dew. His Highness was worried that Qian Li would die, so he helped Qian Li heal his wounds. Although there is a saying that men and women should not be intimate with each other, but in Qian Li's opinion, life and death is much more important than that. Furthermore, His Highness only sliced off the clothes on his stomach when treating the wounds, and that's not really looking at Qian Li. The following times, was when his Highness was holding onto Qian Li in times of danger, and that was just a reaction that anyone who loves would make. Without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, Qian Li continued to speak, "For example, if the emperor goes out to do some private interviews and sees that someone is injured, would he not help the emperor because the person in front of him is a woman? Qian Li thinks that it is impossible? "
"What a sharp-tongued woman. No wonder you two princes would make it so difficult for me for you. Even if you explain clearly, do you think that I will let you off just because of this?"
Qian Li was still kneeling at the same place with her back straightened, she replied, "If the Lord wants this subject to die, this subject has no choice but to die, no matter what the Emperor wishes to do, it is the Emperor's business. Qian Li, if you cannot interfere, you have no right to interfere."
Gong Ye rubbed his chin, and said, "Then it seems that you are prepared to let us handle this? "Very good."
"Your Majesty, please show mercy! Your Majesty, it's your younger brother's fault."
"So you admit that what Qian Li said is true, and you, your respected Third Prince, are just lying to divert our attention?"
"No …" "No." Gong Ye's words made people unable to refute him and even if Gong Jue wanted to beg for forgiveness, there was no way to say it out loud. By the side, Second Prince looked very anxious, as if he was staring at Qian Li.
Indeed, compared to the other princes, he did not like Qian Li.
On the contrary, not only did he not like it, he even had a bit of a dislike to it.
If it wasn't for Qian Li, Gong Jue wouldn't have become so sharp, and would also not have done something like contradicting the emperor.
"Not what? If you weren't lying, then that would be Qian Li? "
"Your Majesty, my little brother and Qian Li have never lied before. The reason for this current situation is because my brother is too impatient, so he did not take Qian Li's feelings into consideration, Qian Li is right, liking Qian Li is not a matter for herself, but my brother liking him is also her own matter, and before this, if it wasn't because my brother thought that Qian Li was like the other girls, he would say whatever he wanted to say to his brother. However, my brother likes Qian Li's unique ability, so she would not treat him differently because of her status, and she wouldn't pull on her hand either. It's all my fault, it's all my brother's fault, it's nothing to do with Qian Li. "
Gong Jue's words made Qian Li raise her eyebrows slightly, and made everyone present even more surprised.
