"But I don't think you're happy at all."

Qian Li's face froze for a moment, then she said, "Flying up a branch to become a phoenix is a blessing that many people can't even beg for. How can Qian Li be unhappy about this?"

"But …"

"Alright." Gong Jue's hands slightly loosened, and Qian Li finally broke free from him. "I really don't have any intentions of blaming you, as the saying goes, happiness is not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Everything has to do with fate, one can't force it."

"Qian Li..."

"If there is nothing else from His Highness the Third Prince, Qian Li will be leaving first."

Since the words were already said, Gong Jue had no reason to bother Qian Li again. He could only watch as Qian Li climbed onto the carriage, and then, he walked further and further away.

As for his carriage, it was heading in another direction.

Qian Li. Is it possible that the fate between us is the same as the road we are walking, that we are already going further and further away before it has even officially begun?

"I told you a long time ago not to provoke Qian Li. See, something's wrong. "

Inside the carriage, the Second Prince who had been waiting for him finally spoke.

"Second Brother, you won't understand that feeling. After meeting Qian Li, I felt that the other girls were just a foil to me. And I even feel that in this lifetime, I will never fall in love with anyone ever again. "

"You're still so young, and the person you meet is only the tip of the iceberg. How do you know that in the future, there won't be another person that can make you fall for it?"

Gong Jue leaned on the carriage fence behind him, and said with an extremely aged voice. For some people, it would be ten thousand years before they meet. Once they meet, they will never be able to forget about them. "

Gong Qu could not understand his words, and he believed that he would probably never understand it again in this life.

Compared to the sorrowful atmosphere outside, the inside of the palace was much more solemn.

At that moment, Gong Ye was still seated in the imperial study, while Liu Xi was at his side.

"Your majesty, we've already investigated the situation. Aside from the letter of agreement and the prime minister, there must have been a prince involved in the previous incident as well. Why did you inform the third prince so directly?"

"Do you think that all of my younger brothers are easy to find? Whatever I can find out, as long as they are willing, I can find out as well. In that case, there is no need to hide it from them and tell them directly." Firstly, he wanted to see their attitudes so that he could judge the number of ministers in the court who had become their trusted aides. Secondly, if he did so, it would indirectly tell them that Zhen had found some clues. "If they're not careful, I will never be merciful next time."

"But in this old servant's opinion, other than Second Prince, the other two princes are actually not worthy of fear."

"But the Second Prince, as a whole, is very loyal to the Emperor. It shouldn't be possible that he would do such a thing, right?"

"Human hearts are separated from one another, especially people like us who are part of the royal family, how could we not be on guard against a single woman? What's more, what about our brothers and sisters?" "How can you guarantee that they will really submit to me as they seem?"

The inexplicable mention of women made others think of the dead empress. Then, somehow, he thought of Qian Li …

"What's the matter with you?"

Liu Xi did not reply. When Gong Ye looked down, he realized that his face was pale and he looked extremely terrifying.

"Your majesty, there's something this old servant doesn't know whether to say or not."

"Speak." As an emperor, he hated hearing such words the most. He was not straightforward at all. He clearly wanted to say it, yet he insisted on asking.

"This old servant accidentally touched Miss Qian Li's hand just now.

"What's so strange about that?" Winter was coming. Isn't it normal to be cold? Furthermore, Qian Li had just been standing outside for a long time, she must have been frozen to death. "

"It's understandable to be cold, but this old servant has never seen anyone that cold before. Also, does the Emperor really not feel that Miss Qian Li …"

With a thump in his heart, the emperor put down the brush in his hand. He already had some guesses in his mind, but he still couldn't help but want to test it out. "How is she?"

"This old servant always feels that when this Miss Qian Li looks at things from a certain angle, she looks somewhat similar to the Empress that died."

As expected, everyone's feelings were the same, so was this the reason why Gong Ming kept Qian Li by his side the entire time?

Back then, if it were not for the fact that he forcefully erased the memories of when Murong Yan met him, if it were not for the fact that he forcefully appeared in Murong Yan's life and warned him not to snatch Murong Yan from him, would the ending be different?

Gong Ye felt a headache. When he was young, he was an extremely intelligent person and it was only because Murong Yan had married him that he gradually disappeared. This was actually the reason why he had never granted marriage those years ago.

No matter what, back then he had taken away his beloved person, and then he took away a lot of his things. Maybe, if it wasn't for him blocking everything, Gong Ming might already be with Murong Yan, and this, was something that he could not tolerate, and definitely could not happen.

Amongst all the girls in the Imperial City, not only was Murong Yan's appearance outstanding, her temperament and talent were also among the best. And what was even more precious about her, was that someone had told him before. Murong Yan was born Empress, she had always been a phoenix life form. Obtaining her was equivalent to obtaining half of the world.

Initially, he did not agree with this so-called fate at all. He felt that for something as important as Jiang Shan, how could he place his trust in a little girl, but sometimes, it was better to believe it was there than not, so he really did it, and indeed, after marrying Qian Li, his future became clear. His life seemed to have undergone a tremendous change, and those who did not support him before, were completely submissive to Murong Yan's actions now …

He admitted that he had planned everything from the very beginning when he first met Murong Yan. However, he had never expected that in their later interactions, he would actually fall in love with that woman.

He swore that he would stay together with Murong Yan forever, that everything he said when he was going to be with her in his entire life was true. However, he said it with sincerity, and when he went against her words, it was also true.

It could only be blamed, Murong Yan's achievements were great.

It could only be blamed, Murong Yan was too open-minded, even when other women appeared beside him, or when she was with other women, she would neither fight nor quarrel.

In fact, when all the people present felt that Murong Yan should be executed, he was hesitant, and could not bear to do so. But this silly woman, when she found out that her entire family had died in her hands, he still chose to believe in her.

Men were all self-confident, he felt that with the constant depletion of time, Murong Yan probably no longer had him in her heart.

As he watched her deal with those things every day, he began to feel dissatisfied.

Humans were always like this, once they had a seed of doubt, they would start to sprout without restraint. Even if this person was once his heart's flesh and blood, when there was no need, he could still give up.

Royal Father had said so. As a prince, he had to be heartless.

Royal Father had also said that anyone who could threaten his or her position could be eliminated.

He was just doing what everyone thought was right. He wasn't wrong...

Gong Ye regained his composure and finally calmed down. "Murong Yan is already dead. "Wasn't it all your fault? At that time, her corpse was personally placed inside the coffin by me …"

"But this old servant has heard that if a person's heart contains too many grievances, her soul will not rest in peace. She will even turn into a malicious ghost at the right time to take the life of the person who harmed her …"

"Shut up."

"Before Liu Xi had even finished speaking, he had already been rudely cut off by Gong Ye," When Royal Father was still alive, he had already given the order that no one in the entire nation was to believe in ghosts.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. This old servant is just …" "But …"
