With that sentence, Gong Ming instantly opened his eyes wide.
Qian Li continued to speak, "Maybe three or five times like this has happened, but a person's patience is limited after all. If a person's effort is unable to return, then they will feel exhausted in the end. Although I don't think that the empress dowager is someone who would give up easily, but this person, once he grows up, will think too much and his personality will become more and more like a child's. She hasn't been able to receive any response from you, and will occasionally throw a tantrum, turning a blind eye to your appearance. It could probably be counted on one hand, right? Or perhaps, when you go to see the empress dowager, would you coincidentally meet Gong Ye or something? He said that she would pass on the message, but in the end she told you that the Empress Mother did not wish to see you like this. "
"You … How do you know? "
Seeing Gong Ming's reaction, Qian Li knew that her later words were actually correct. She sighed and spoke honestly, "Actually, I always felt that Gong Ye was a person who had a very strong possessive nature, and had always felt that I absolutely cannot share things that belong to him with others. The Emperor's love, and the Empress Dowager's love, in his heart, might all belong to him alone. So, why did he help you, your highness, take away what belongs only to him? "
"This... This, this duke truly had not thought about it, but what you said does make sense. It looks like all these years, this duke has been covered in the dark, it's just Qian Li. And why do you know so much about Gong Ye? "
"Didn't you say that you know yourself and you know your enemy? With a hundred battles, how can you not understand your enemy a bit more?"
Hearing that, Gong Ming immediately laughed, and said, "You are indeed different from the other girls."
Qian Li smirked, "Your highness is also different from other men."
"Oh?" Who would have thought that Qian Li's joke would arouse her curiosity?
Helpless, Qian Li could only reply, "En … To be able to marry three beautiful wives like the Prince on the same day, and have three women become pregnant within almost the same month, I think that it's not something that an ordinary person can compare to. "
Gong Ming's face changed a few times. He looked at Qian Li for a long time before finally reacting. He never would have thought that Qian Li would actually use such a matter to talk about, although he said that in order to prevent the three women from making the whole palace fall apart, allowing the three women to become pregnant at the fastest speed was already part of his plan. But in the end, he was still somewhat against it …
If it was in the past, he wouldn't need to report to anyone for anything he did, he wouldn't need to be this nervous, but ever since he found out that he had some different thoughts towards Qian Li, he became a little nervous in his heart, even though he thought that in his entire life, besides Murong Yan, he would never fall in love with anyone else.
However, many things in this world are like this. When it happens, it's always silent. Just when you want to stop it, you realize that it's already too late. Especially … Feelings.
As for him, Gong Ming, he had always dared to take responsibility, and once he had confirmed his feelings, he would not be tangled up in anything. As for Murong Yan, he thought, if a person could not revive after death, he could not possibly lose someone alive for the sake of a person who had already died, right?
"Qian Li, it's not what you think."
Qian Li pursed her lips, "The facts are already laid out in front of you, what else can you do? "Moreover, having this ability is also not an easy matter. Your highness should be happy …"
"Qian Li..." Gong Ming was enraged, her tone had changed, but right at that moment, Xiao Lan's shout came from outside.
"Princess, all the food has been brought in. Did this servant send them in?"
"Ah, no, I'll do it myself." Qian Li held out her hand to stop Gong Ming's mouth, signalling him to remain silent, and to confirm that Gong Ming would not joke around at this time, only then did she stand up and walk out.
"Then may I trouble you to open the door, Princess. They do not allow any other palace maids to come near here. This servant will not be able to do anything with a single hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
Qian Li did not immediately accept the plate. Instead, she first opened the lid of the food box on the plate and smelled the fragrance of the food inside. She felt extremely satisfied, but when she saw the cup of porridge outside, she was in a wonderful mood.
"These are all chosen based on the favorite dishes of the princess. What do you think? Do you still want to eat anything?"
"I don't have any for now, so you should go back and rest. I'll let someone else take these things later, and the next time I take something to eat, remember to take a bit more. It might be because there aren't any good things to eat recently, so I feel that my appetite has increased a lot."
"This servant understands."
"Then go down. If you see the butler, you can ask him to come over. Then, in the next few days, both you and Li Ran can have a good rest.
"Oh, and the next time I come, bring me a few sets of clothes. Ah, it's better if I don't. It's not convenient here after all. I'll go back and change it myself."
After that, Qian Li talked for half a day before finally walking into the house. Because she had to hold onto the plate with both hands, she could only turn around and kick the door open.
"Can you get up? I remember that your hands and feet should be fine, right? "
In other words, Gong Ming wanted to eat something for himself.
Gong Ming nodded his head, what happened just now could be considered as over. Since he did not have a better explanation, he might as well not talk about it.
"I can do it myself."
Hearing this, Qian Li was genuinely happy. She put down the tray and moved the cup of white porridge to the side in disdain. Then, she took out the Red Braised Meat, Steamed Fish and Chicken Soup from within. Before she could even sit down, her hands had already impatiently picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
That look of satisfaction was truly an eye-opener.
"You ate so much under the same roof and in the same room. As a man, is this all I have?" In fact, there was quite a bit of porridge, and the Xiao Lan used the medium sized cup that was usually used to scoop up soup. She should have poured out more than two bowls, but there was only a little bit of soup and water in the end. Furthermore, as a man, she should be able to eat more, so perhaps it was really too little for him.
But how could Qian Li care about all that. She was already merciful, "If you want good food, then isn't it better to tell everyone that you've woken up? "She's sneaking around even when she's at home, I don't know if she should feel sad for you or not."
"You … Although I brought this matter upon myself, Qian Li, can you show a little love? "As a patient, I eat things that are not nutritious at all. As for you, aren't you ashamed that you are such a big fish in front of me?"
"Firstly, Your Highness, you have slept for so long, and just woke up and refused to eat. This is for the sake of your health, and secondly, porridge is something that will affect your current physique. It is the most suitable food, even if you reject it, it is useless. Regarding this point, you can ask the Godly Doctor if you don't believe it. To sum it up, Qian Li's actions were all for the prince's own good. So, what you said just now, looks like you really misunderstood Qian Li. "
said that as he took a sip of soup and then ate another mouthful of rice, seemingly trying to agitate Gong Ming on purpose. At the very end, he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This chicken is really made very well, it's cooked to the point that it can slip away as soon as it is placed at the very end. It tastes extremely good, the taste of the fish is also very good, it's perfectly pickled, there's not even the slightest bit of smell of meat, and it's just right in front of me! Ah, what I'm most satisfied about is that this red braised meat, it's fat but not greasy.
"Hmph." Gong Ming scoffed, I have to say that the genius doctor is still very considerate, worried that there would be another problem with his neck, and intentionally made something to fix it, or else Gong Ming would not be able to get out of bed right now. However, when Qian Li saw him raise his head and sit down unwillingly to drink his porridge, Qian Li felt that it was inexplicably laughable.
"Hey, Your Royal Highness. Actually, as long as you don't eat meat, or wait for your porridge to be finished before drinking some chicken soup, you can eat some chicken meat."
After she finished speaking, she saw Gong Ming actually reaching out his chopsticks quickly towards the chicken soup, Qian Li did not stop him, but only said slowly, "The condition is that you have to first eat the porridge, or else you will have to run all the way to the latrine."
Thus, Gong Ming could only take back his chopsticks, but he was unresigned and was prepared to quietly stick his chopsticks into the fish.
"But don't eat fish. The wound will itch."
These words once again scared Gong Ming to the point that he retracted his chopsticks. This won't do, it won't do. It's really too annoying to pretend to be magnanimous.
However … Endure a moment of peace and quiet, he could endure even big matters, much less such a thing.
Thus, Gong Ming returned to his senses, and began to drink his porridge with extreme hatred.
As long as there are mountains and forests, there is nothing to be afraid of. Qian Li, just you wait.
