C173 Ki li don't be sad

Qian Li took a long time to regain her senses, and at this time, Gong Ye had already left.

She did not choose to stay in the palace. The first phase of her studies had come to an end. She needed to go out now, firstly, so as to discuss whether she should stay there with Gong Ming before, and secondly, because the empress dowager had promised, she had to do it. Although the empress dowager did not ask for anything, since she said it herself, she had the obligation to execute it to the end.

Qian Li would definitely not stop her if she wanted to leave the palace, but there were quite a number of people who were sent to follow her.

She sensed it, as did the people around her.

"Princess, you need me …"

Before Li Ran could finish speaking, Qian Li had already guessed her meaning. She shook her head, signalling him to stop. We have a clear conscience, let them follow us. "

"But …"

"We've followed them for too long. If there's still any news, whatever they want to see will not happen, then they'll lose interest without us saying so. At that time …" Even if we wanted them to follow us, they might not continue to follow us. "

Hearing that, the two people by his side nodded, causing Qian Li's heart to calm down, "So, in these few days, it will be better for us to live like before, the two of you need to be extra careful, when you discover someone following us, just pretend that you don't know anything, in fact, I feel that Gong Ye does not really want to get any useful information from us, it's just that he gives me the feeling that … To put it bluntly, he just does not trust us. "

"But in fact, I still feel that something is wrong … That... Even if my martial arts are strong and yours is strong, in his eyes, we should not be afraid of him. Shouldn't the one he should be probing should be the other princes? The things that he should be worried about should be those things. "

Of course, Qian Li would naturally not receive an answer to her question.

In the evening, Qian Li had already arrived at the Duke Palace and she seemed to still be very concerned about her. After hearing about her condition, she then looked for a doctor in the mansion to carefully examine her. Only then did she feel slightly more at ease.

"How could this be?"

Qian Li pursed her lips, "I believe that Your Highness should already know, Qian Li is currently residing in the Weiyang Palace, that location was once Murong Yan's territory, and I originally wanted to take revenge for her, so when I look at that environment everyday, I can't help but feel a little depressed. That day when it rained, I fell, I really did not expect it to arouse the Emperor's suspicions."

"So this matter can't be blamed on you. The Emperor was already suspicious of you, so the suspicions he had towards you definitely didn't start at that time."

"Your Highness was right. It was also this time that I found out that the Emperor saw everything that happened in the Royal Hunting Ground. Perhaps among those people there was one of his own, so he also started to suspect me at that time."

"It looks like This King's guess is correct. The emperor really can't hold himself back anymore."

"So Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"A few days ago, the various princes and princes of the imperial household were assaulted in all sorts of ways. The mastermind behind all of this is unknown, but after this matter, this king seems to have guessed something …"

"Princes? "Then, Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"Perhaps very soon, the person he will be probing will be This King."

"Then, do I need Qian Li to do something?"

"Right now, I really can't figure out what she's planning to do, so I can't really say that I'm preparing for it. If your health is not good, you should rest up. If there is really something that you need to do, this king will arrange it. "

Qian Li nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally voiced out her thoughts, "Your highness, then that thing from before …."

When he mentioned this matter, Gong Ming was obviously very cautious. He first opened the door of the room to inspect his surroundings, then ordered the hidden guards to guard around him, replying, "This king is very curious about this matter, this king has always received news that the emperor has been searching for something for so many years, but the emperor has done a very good job of keeping it a secret. In order to not be discovered, this king did leave behind a lot of strength when investigating, and indeed did not find anything.

"Has Your Highness ever asked anyone to test its authenticity? I saw that thing in the royal study when the Emperor summoned me. "

"Before, I had always thought that it wasn't true, but now, with Royal Father's handprint and the Imperial Jade Seal, it can't be fake. Of course, just to be safe, this king had actually asked a professional to come visit. Indeed... It's true. "

"Then …"

"The Imperial Jade Seal that our Emperor has in his hands right now is fake."

Qian Li couldn't help but be happy. She asked, "Since it has already been proven to be true, Your Highness, as long as you appear before the emperor with these things, you will have no choice but to withdraw from the position of emperor, right?"

Without waiting for Gong Ming to speak, Qian Li kneeled down towards him, "If Your Highness one day truly becomes that person above tens of thousands of people, Qian Li humbly requests that your majesty thoroughly investigate the Murong Family's matter and return Murong Family with an innocence."

"This has always been This King's wish. Even if you didn't say it, This King would have done so. It's just that..."

Qian Li was anxious. "What happened?" Ye Zichen raised his head and asked. But what? "

"But... The emperor is also worried that this matter will be exposed one day, so in these years, he has killed many ministers who supported the other princes. Today, in the imperial court, all of them are the emperor's own men, so, even if we have evidence, we did not expose his strength. Even if he's going to give me a little face on the surface, but... "In the dark, we might not even know how he died. When the time comes, he would be able to settle a matter with just a single crime. Moreover, once the True Jade Seal falls into his hands, it would be too late."

"Are we going to watch him get away with it?"

Qian Li stood up by herself, her eyes full of regret. Her expression was agitated, but Gong Ming had to hold her back from acting impulsively.

He placed his hands on her shoulders. "Ugly wants to report, but great deeds need to be accomplished. This King never does things without confidence, because we can't afford to lose. So, every step we take now requires us to plan." Qian Li, we cannot afford to fail, if it is a small matter, then we will just have to repeat it, but if it is a failure, then everything we do is a huge matter of the head, if we are defeated, not only will we lose our lives, I have not completed all of our great deeds, and you have not even avenged your great vengeance, I, am also unworthy of those behind me, of those who have always supported me, and helped my brothers and sisters? "

"Qian Li. This King's life might not be worth much, but since those people are so determined to follow This King, This King must take responsibility for their lives. "

With these words, Qian Li had no ability to refute them at all. She retreated a few steps dejectedly, then sat down sloppily on a chair in the study.

It was as if he had seen hope and then immediately lost it.

It was just like how, as long as he opened his eyes, he would be able to see the sunlight, but it was the same feeling as a sudden storm.

"Qian Li, don't be sad. We still have a lot of time to prepare for these things. Don't worry, this duke promises you.

"Then we can only... I'm counting on you, your highness. "

Qian Li's voice still carried a trace of disappointment. Gong Ming couldn't let her keep wasting time on such things, so he asked, "The Emperor hasn't found these things for many years. How did you find it the moment you entered the palace? This matter, This King has always found it unbelievable. "

"There's a secret passage in the Weiyang Palace."

"A secret passage?"

"Yes, that is a secret passage that lead outside the palace. On one side, it connects to the Weiyang Palace, and on the other side, it connects to a secret room." Yes, that is, it is a secret passage that lead out of the palace. Maybe this is heaven's will, but the heavens also feel that the late emperor died wrongly, and that his Murong Family was defeated pitifully, so they intentionally left me with clues that I thought were fatal.
