C157 Dogs look down on people

"Forget it." Just as Liu Xi thought that he would not live, Gong Ye suddenly said.

Liu Xi straightened his knees and took a deep breath. Your Majesty, although this old servant's words are very bold, this old servant always feels that there is something wrong with Qian Li.

"Of course we have to investigate, although the words of reincarnation and the gods and ghosts cannot be trusted, it is still not enough to make up for one thing. In fact, ever since the first time we met, we have always felt that this Qian Li was a little disgusted or disgusted with us, but we really can't figure out how she offended her."

"Your majesty, don't worry too much. Perhaps this old servant is overthinking things, and that Qian Li doesn't seem to have any deterrence skills."

"Some people don't seem to be able to tell on the surface, because every single person we see, every single person we know, is part of what they want us to see. There are others that we need to dig for ourselves."

"Your Majesty's meaning is …"

"In my entire life, I had intentionally and unintentionally formed countless hatreds. Who knows which dead person would be the one to end up in the future. Therefore, it is always right to be more careful in these matters."

"What's more …"

"And what about it?"

"Besides, didn't I already investigate it?" The person who tried to ambush us in the hunting grounds last time did not belong to one of the two ministers. Furthermore, at that time, from Qian Li's performance, she seemed to be a woman without any martial arts skills.

"Does the Emperor think that a person without any martial arts skills can't save His Highness the Third Prince multiple times?"

As expected, he is the person who is most familiar with himself. Hearing this, Gong Ye nodded his head in relief, "This is only one of them, there is another strange matter. Qian Li had always emphasized that he was a villager who lived near Chang'an City, and had always said that he had lived by begging since he was young, but other than the fact that he did not kneel down, the feeling she gave others was not at all like someone without etiquette. Although she had already tried his best to hide it, that kind of good upbringing and the elegance she exuded was not something that could be cultivated in a short period of time.

"So the emperor's meaning is …"

"I have always felt that I was wrong about this Ninth Brother of mine. Thinking back carefully about all these years, no matter if it was my intentional probing or an accident that I accidentally encountered, he was able to resolve the danger with great ingenuity. Although his explanations seemed to be just right when the incident occurred, and I couldn't see any flaws in them at all, however … If you looked at the whole thing together, it didn't seem like this. One or two times might be considered as a coincidence, but all of them are a type of strength … I've been wondering recently if I've missed something. "

"In this old servant's opinion, the Emperor is overthinking things. The actions of the Ninth Prince are not like those of a normal person at all. Furthermore, it is not common saying that foolish people have good fortune, perhaps he is just lucky after all."

"I hope that you're overthinking it as well. If this person has been concealing his strength and is able to hide it for so many years, it would be an extremely terrifying thing."

"But even so, in this old servant's opinion, the Emperor doesn't need to worry too much."

"What do you mean?"

"Ninth Prince has been cut off from the outside world for so many years, and there is no chance for him to make contact with the ministers of the imperial court. So, this old servant thinks that even if Ninth Prince has great ability, with just him alone, he won't be able to create any big waves, right?"

"Gong Ye nodded, and his tightly knitted eyebrows finally relaxed a little. "You're right. From the looks of it, it seems that I am really unworthy of worrying about."

"It's not that I'm worried about him."

Liu Xi suddenly interrupted: "What do you mean?" the Emperor asked.

"For the past few years, His Highness the Second Prince has seemed to be extremely loyal to the emperor. However, his relationship with the officials of the imperial court is very close, and the emperor trusts him. Furthermore, His Highness has actual power in his hands …"

"Your reminder is not unreasonable." Gong Ye pursed his lips, "Immediately send people to monitor the movements of the Second Prince, if there is anything, report it immediately."

"Yes." Liu Xi pursed his lips, "Then, what about Third Prince and Ninth Prince? In addition, what about the other princes that the Emperor has rarely seen in all these years? "

"Just in case, the other princes can also send people to watch. As for the Ninth Prince … We will personally give it a try, but we still cannot believe that a coward who knows nothing can actually make Qian Li, who is a clear and unyielding woman, follow him willingly. "

"Then... Do you need this old servant to first send someone to investigate this Miss Qian Li's background? "

"Of course we need to check, but I always feel that this woman's identity is not simple. You should be very careful when searching, and it doesn't matter if you don't make any progress. After all, she will frequently enter and leave the palace. When the time comes, there will be more chances to get close to her."

"Yes!"

"All of you may leave. This Emperor wants to rest."

"Why?" Seeing Liu Xi looking like he wanted to say something, but was unable to, Gong Ye asked impatiently.

"Noble Consort has already been waiting outside for a long time. Your Majesty …"

"Women are so troublesome."

Although he said that, Gong Ye still waved his hand for Liu Xi to bring him in.

The Royal Mansion.

"Why is it the door? Didn't I tell you? I'm going to the back door."

Qian Li really didn't want to be in the same scene as Gong Ming. Firstly, it was because she had too much attention focused on him, and secondly, she didn't want to be alone with him.

"Your Highness, the Prince has instructed that after you get off the carriage, you need to go to the study and wait for him."

Qian Li frowned, she did not know whether it was because of this sudden address or the words of this person.

"Do you know what it is?"

"This servant doesn't know."

"Forget it." Qian Li spoke as she alighted from the carriage, she had wanted to directly jump down like usual, but the maidservants by her side immediately stopped him, "Your Highness, the prince has ordered, your identity is different now, you need to pay attention to your image whenever you want."

Qian Li could not help but shout towards the sky, but she could not do anything else, so in the end, she could only sigh.

She walked with heavy steps toward the study, pausing several times along the way. Her fretful appearance was unthinkable to the people behind her.

The steward, who had just arrived, was also puzzled. "What's going on?" How did you become so dispirited after coming back from a trip? "

Seeing the butler, Qian Li felt like she had found her savior. "Butler …"

"What happened? This …"

"I keep having the feeling that something bad is going to happen today. Do you think you can help me think of a way to not have to go to the study room?"

"Yo, so many people want to go to the prince's study but cannot enter. Who are you showing off to?"

Without waiting for the butler to speak, Qianqian had already interrupted them. She was originally here to admire the flowers, but after hearing the conversation, she suddenly came over, not expecting it to be Qian Li showing off again.

She really hated this monster called Qian Li to death. If it wasn't for her, the prince wouldn't have vented his anger on her because of what happened last time.

Furthermore, the prince had said it in the morning. Qian Li was the person he wanted to marry …

But when Qian Li was alone, it was not certain. Today, she would definitely make Qian Li suffer.

As a result, what she had just said was completely ignored by her brain. Of course, she had never seen the butler behind the leaves. Although she knew that she was not guilty, she could only pretend to be calm.

"The Lateral Consort Empress, do not be rude."

Hearing that, Qianqian immediately lost her composure: "Who is this little servant talking to? "Be careful that this wangfei tells the prince to break your dog legs."

"Before I break my dog legs, I would like to invite the Lateral Consort Empress to identify herself. Your Highness has said that Your Highness will be the other master of this palace from now on. Before you move into your own palace, no one is allowed to act rashly."

"What did you say?" Princess? "

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. It's really unfortunate, but this lady will become a princess once I enter the palace. Empress of the Lateral Consort, when you see me in the future, remember to greet me …"

Qian Li had never bothered to argue with these people, but now, she realised that teasing them once in a while could ease the tension in her heart. It was pretty good too.

"What …" Other than disbelief, most of it was incredulity. How could Qian Li have the heart to waste words with this person? After a while, she quickly walked towards the study room.

After all, it was just a blade anyway. Sooner or later, she would have to face it. She might as well act as if she didn't know anything.

With this thought in mind, she discovered that she really wasn't as irritable as before.
