"Miss Qian Li, oh, no... Your Highness, what exactly is going on? "
She spread open her hands and explained in an extremely helpless manner, "Accurately speaking, I do not know what is going on. Perhaps your Emperor's brain is filled with water, but Butler, you are Qian Li's only family here in the Duke Palace, so no matter what others call me, I am fine. If you ask me, can you still call me Qian Li?"
Unfortunately, although the butler was casual, he was still the butler. He said, "Since Miss Qian Li is now really a princess, then everything must be done according to etiquette."
"But I've never treated you as a housekeeper? No matter how much Qian Li's identity has changed, Qian Li will always remember the kindness that you showed when you saved my life, as well as the kindness that you showed when you first came here. "
The Uncle Li expressed his gratitude, "The princess being able to speak in such a manner is truly touching, but the way the old servant acts as the housekeeper of the Duke's Palace is in itself an example to the people of the Duke Palace. If the old servant acts in such a way, it is difficult to determine what other people would do.
Qian Li sighed, she could only accept her fate, "Up to you."
The steward was relieved, "Then this old servant will arrange the new courtyard for Princess now."
Qian Li waved her hand, "Forget about the yard, the one I'm living in right now is very quiet and good, if I move, I wouldn't be able to see so many flowers being picked, it would be great there."
"Since the princess insists on staying there, this old servant cannot force the princess either. However, since the princess is here, I cannot let others look down on her. This old servant will have someone renovate it."
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. It's good to be like this for now."
"How could I not? Perhaps in the future, there would be many people who would meet the princess. If they didn't properly deal with her, then it wouldn't be that good to be seen by others. "Moreover, winter is almost here, the princess won't feel cold staying there, it's good to renovate or something like that. Also, this old servant will immediately choose some clever maids to serve her …"
Qian Li interrupted him before he could finish his words, she said, "I can do whatever you want, but Qian Li can't hurt Peach Blossom, as for manpower, I have no choice but to go see His Highness first, at that time, I will personally speak with whoever I want to speak with him."
The butler nodded, and after saying a few more words, he turned around and left. After going through all of these episodes, the worry in Qian Li's heart could be considered to have completely disappeared.
As soon as she opened the door, she felt her body being pushed away by a palm, and the door behind her closed at the same time.
He felt a sweet taste in his throat as he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
She had just recovered from her severe illness. Although she looked like she was about to recover, she still needed to be treated. With this and her lack of resistance, she immediately vomited blood.
Her heart was burning, Qian Li felt that her breathing had become a little difficult.
She supported herself on the ground, not knowing what she had done wrong today.
However, if one were to talk about it in detail, it was not that there were none.
Just that, was Gong Ming really angry because of that matter?
She struggled to look towards the direction where Gong Ming was. He did not have any expression on his face, the light in the house flickered, and Qian Li struggled to look at him.
"Your Highness, why is that?"
Ben had wanted to wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth in the same cool manner as before, but she hadn't fully recovered yet and was seriously injured, so she didn't have that ability.
That palm strike by Gong Ming just now, must have used a lot of strength as well. He was angry, but she did not know why he was angry.
"The position of princess is not something that Qian Li wanted, and Gong Jue did not agree to those actions of his. Therefore, Qian Li is truly unable to understand, why exactly are you so angry at Qian Li for?"
"You acted on your own, and acted on your own against Liu Xi without this king's permission. Speak, what did you do to him that you would scare him to that extent?"
Qian Li pursed her lips. She really didn't know how to answer this question.
"You're not going to say it, right?" Gong Ming walked towards Qian Li and raised his hand, as if he was going to attack.
Qian Li could only beg. True, she was not afraid of death. She just didn't want the Mu Rong family to die before she could wash off her grievances.
"So Your Highness had discovered it after all."
"If you want people to not know, then do it yourself."
Qian Li sighed, "Actually it's nothing. Qian Li had always suspected that as the person she trusted the most, she must be related to Murong Yan's death. That's why she acted like Murong Yan was scared for a bit."
"Liu Xi is very daring, how could he be scared by such a thing?"
"My lord knows about it, Murong Yan and I can be considered to be good friends, I more or less know a little about her, and don't talk too much, she often talks about things, and Qian Li is very used to knowing it, so I just used Murong Yan's tone to say a few words, and then reached out and held him in my hand after feeling frozen solid."
"Pediatrics."
"Even if it's child's play, it looks to be quite effective."
"Hmph."
Gong Ming swung his sleeves, "Don't think that this matter is over. Let me ask you, when the Emperor said that he would grant you the title of Princess Qian Li, was your resistance so hypocritical? Speak. Do you feel that your wings have already hardened, so you feel that you can take revenge even without This King? Or could it be that taking revenge is completely false? Your true goal is to fly up the branch and become a phoenix? "
Qian Li frowned, "Your Majesty's words are simply an imperial edict. Even if Qian Li wants to refuse, she cannot refuse, right? If that was the case, why did Qian Li want to offend Gong Ye when she was lacking in strength? Furthermore, with Qian Li's cheap life, her life was given to him by Your Highness, if you truly think that Qian Li deserves to die, then even if Qian Li dies immediately, you will not regret it at all. But Your Highness, in the eyes of the Emperor, and even in the eyes of everyone else, Qian Li is a member of the Duke Palaces, if Qian Li acted rashly, Qian Li would definitely die alone. "
Qian Li spat out a mouthful of blood, and continued, "Of course, I know that Your Highness is not a greedy person who fears death, but Your Highness has yet to accomplish the things in his heart, so if you were to die like this, then you might as well leave without doing anything, that's fine, but with more than a hundred people in the Palace, does Your Highness wish to see these people pay with their lives for Qian Li's impulsiveness?"
Gong Ming's eyes flashed, he squinted his eyes and did not say a word. as if he was trying to decide whether or not Qian Li's words were true or false.
Only after a long time had passed did Qian Li finally speak, seeing that she had gradually calmed down. He said, "So what you mean is, I misunderstood you? You did not intend to leave This King like this? "
"Qian Li has always been a man of his words. Since she said that her life belonged to the prince, then it must be that she will be punished by the heavens if she goes back on his words. Qian Li does not want to ruin her own future."
"Looks like This King has indeed misunderstood you. You can get up first. "
After saying that, Gong Ming bent down and personally helped Qian Li up, "However, even if I believe what you said just now, you can't deny that you still want to be this princess right?"
Qian Li nodded her head, "Princess is not anything special, Qian Li really doesn't need it. Power and authority are things that are important to Qian Li, what use do I have if I want them?"
"So, you are …"
Qian Li nodded. Even though Gong Ming had not finished speaking, she had already understood what he meant, "Looks like Your Highness has already guessed it. Since Qian Li cannot reject the princess position, then I can only think of a way to stay in the Duke Palace for the time being. It's only for the sake of frequently entering and exiting the Imperial Palace. If that's the case, I believe that it would be much more convenient for Your Highness to ask Qian Li about anything. "
As she spoke till here, Qian Li paused for a moment, before she continued. Your Highness knows that I have always had a grudge in my heart, so … Privately speaking, Qian Li also hoped to find some evidence regarding the rebellion of the Murong Family in the imperial palace and to help the Murong Family turn it around. "
