A Romantic Beauty Around Imperial City - C194 The emperor's mind
“Really?” “I wonder where you learned this ability from, Princess?”
When Murong Yan made the tea, her movements were as graceful as Qian Li’s. If it wasn’t for the fact that the process was different, the appearance was different, and the name was different, she would have already rushed forward to grab Qian Li and not let him go.
Yan’Er, is that you?
You’re the one who’s not at ease with me and has come back to see me again, aren’t you?
You can’t bear to part with me, so you changed your way to be by my side, can you?
Because you know, if you are still Murong Yan, then we still have no conclusion, because you know, if you are still Murong Yan, we still have countless grievances and grudges between us.
So Yan’Er. You’re back as someone else, aren’t you?
Yan’Er … Yan’Er …
But why do you always pretend you don’t know me?
Or do you think that you have loved too bitterly in your previous life, so you want to let me have a taste of that suffering in this life?
No… No.
“You’re not.” He had just taken a sip and a familiar smell assaulted his nose, but after carefully tasting it, he realized that the taste was actually really great with Murong Yan. Gong Ye regained her senses, and could not hold it in any longer, the cup was directly flung out of his hands, and even the cup of tea that she had not finished poured onto the back of her feet.
A heart-wrenching pain.
However, Qian Li still stood in place without any reaction.
She knew that perhaps Gong Ye had not really drunk it at all just now. He had merely smelled it before throwing it out.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so hot.
“Your Majesty, what happened to you?” Without waiting for anyone to speak, the empress dowager had already asked her question. She looked at Qian Li’s feet with concern, only when she saw Qian Li shaking her head slightly, did she turn her gaze away.
“No, nothing, Royal Grandma, grandson …” I was just distracted by some things that happened unintentionally, “After saying that, as if to ease the situation, he turned to Qian Li and said,” I’ll have to trouble Princess to give us another cup. ”
Qian Li did not reply, she only slightly nodded her head and fell down once again. This time, the gaze that was looking at him became even hotter.
“Princess rarely comes to the palace recently. Is it because of Ninth Brother’s injury?”
Indeed, what would come would eventually come.
Qian Li squinted, her long eyelashes covering up all the emotions in her eyes.
At this moment, the empress dowager came to a realization. “Look at This Dowager’s memory. I’ve always wanted to ask, but when I saw her happy, I forgot about it.” After saying this, the Empress Dowager didn’t wait for anyone to interrupt before she asked, “I heard that This Dowager’s ninth grandson was captured and was in grave danger. How is it now?”
Hearing that, Qian Li suddenly became sad, of course, this sadness was mostly an act, she said, “Your highness has always disliked interacting with people, I don’t know when you offended them, those people, their actions were really too ruthless, when Qian Li saw your highness, she thought that his head had left his neck.”
The empress dowager was obviously frightened, while the emperor winked at Qian Li, his eyes seemed to say, “Don’t speak about it so frighteningly, the empress dowager can’t stand it.” But Qian Li chose to ignore it. “Empress Dowager,” she said, “didn’t you see, at that time when they were being bandaged up, the blood was being poured out, large and large, looking terrifying. At that time, the doctors inside the palace all said they were powerless, but luckily, the emperor found a doctor to diagnose the prince, which saved his life for now.”
“Then… “How are things now?” The more she listened, the more worried she became.
Only now did Qian Li realize that the empress dowager was only forced to stay in the palace. No matter if it was her direct descendant or concubine, she did not seem to have any special prejudice against these grandchildren.
Qian Li nodded. Her life is now considered completely saved, but his Royal Highness has been unconscious for so long, he still hasn’t woken up. His Royal Highness was originally Qian Li’s savior, so Qian Li should have not left her side at this time, but she was still worried about the empress dowager, so when she just found out that his Royal Highness had calmed down, she came in to see you. ”
Her Majesty looked very sad. Her lips quivered, and she put down all the tea she had been about to drink. It seemed that this gathering was about to end.
“Pity my grandson, he never had any good fortune since he was young, but now he still has to go through all these hardships.”
Qian Li pursed her lips, “As the saying goes, once you survive a great tribulation, there will be afterlife. Empress Dowager, you don’t have to worry too much.
The empress dowager still didn’t feel reassured as she stood up. “That won’t do. This Dowager wants to personally leave the palace to see him.”
“Please wait, Royal Grandma.”
Without waiting for Qian Li to object, the emperor was the first to stand up, “Royal Grandma, you’re not in a good condition, Imperial Physician already said that you’re not suitable to overwork yourself, and furthermore, the temperature has not completely recovered yet, it’s not as warm outside as in this room.
The empress dowager seemed to be annoyed. “Is it just because you’re worried about a cold that you’re not coming to see my pitiful grandson?”
The emperor stared at Qian Li, his meaning was obvious. The trouble you have caused, why aren’t you thinking of ways to stop it?
Qian Li was helpless and could only step forward.
“Empress Dowager, Qian Li knew that you were worried about his highness, but the words spoken by the Emperor were not without reason. Furthermore, his highness is still unconscious, even if you went there, he would not be able to see it.”
The empress dowager frowned, her tone finally feeling better. “Then …” “Will I have to do nothing here?”
There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in his voice.
His tone sounded as though he was saying, “Sigh, this person is getting old. He really doesn’t seem to be of any use anymore.”
Qian Li sniffed once, trying her best to control her emotions. She said, “The empress dowager doesn’t have to worry too much, if you’re really worried, Qian Li will send someone over to tell you about the prince’s illness every day after he gets back. If you wake up, won’t the empress dowager be late by then?”
“…” Her Majesty did not speak, as if she were considering something. On the other hand, the Emperor was the one who made the final decision.
“I think this method is pretty good. Let’s do it this way.” Since the emperor has already spoken, there are many things that cannot be changed. The empress dowager could only sigh slightly, “Then let’s do it for now. You don’t know, these people in the palace, they just think that this old man won’t be able to take any of the excitement, and won’t tell me about anything that’s happened.
Qian Li nodded her head and reached out to caress the back of the empress dowager’s hand, “Esteemed Empress Dowager, please be at ease. Qian Li will definitely not lie to you.”
The Empress Dowager nodded. “It’s getting late. Quickly go back and see that poor child. In the past few days, you don’t have to come all the way to This Dowager’s place. Just send someone back with a message at any time.”
Qian Li nodded her head and bowed towards the empress dowager. “The empress dowager needs to take care of herself as well. After saying that, Qian Li turned to look at the old Mama, “Mama Liu. “The empress dowager asks for your help. You must make the empress dowager eat dinner on time. When there’s nothing else to do, ask the empress dowager to come out and walk around a bit more. You must not suppress yourself any longer.”
The old Mama nodded, then Qian Li left, but the emperor followed along.
“I didn’t expect you to be so capable, to actually let the empress dowager worry so much about you.”
Qian Li really did not want to reply to such a spiteful tone, but she could not resist the identity of the other party.
“The Emperor has something she can say, but there is no need to be so weird, Qian Li cannot stand hearing such a tone.” No one dared to speak to Gong Ye like that, which made him curious.
While thinking, Qian Li continued impolitely, “Qian Li always knew that the emperor doesn’t like Qian Li, but since he doesn’t like the emperor’s looks, why did he go against his own wishes and bestow Qian Li rewards? Now that he had such an identity, wouldn’t the emperor be upset upon seeing it? Why do you need to go through all this trouble? ”
Qian Li’s words were sarcastic, but Gong Ye had no reason to laugh at them anymore. He stood on the spot, looking at Qian Li’s figure that was gradually disappearing, and suddenly said.
“Qian Li, do you think that I am such a shallow person in your heart?”
Regarding these words, Qian Li did not comment.
She did not stop. Of course, she did not want to get an answer to the question she just asked.
“Qian Li, we are actually a little envious of you.” After she said that.
Qian Li was finally unable to hold back and stopped in her tracks. She still didn’t turn around. She just stood there stiffly with her back to him.
“Did you know that the empress dowager has already locked herself up in that palace for many years? These years, no matter what methods Zhen uses, she’s still unable to feel any happiness. Zhen really feels very sad watching her thin out.”
