A Romantic Beauty Around Imperial City

In the end, Qian Li was still a girl, and at such an age, even though she had seen some of her methods before, she was still unable to avoid the fact that she was still a child.

So when he used this tone to speak, Uncle Li suddenly didn't know how to defend himself.

It could even be said that when he was in Gaoler Head, he was ruthless. When he was a butler, he was also incomparably smooth and cunning.

Even when he had just met the Duke, he had at most felt a little repressed and scared. But facing Qian Li, he actually felt somewhat at a loss as to where to start.

He laughed awkwardly, and only spoke after a long while, "Lady Qian Li is too biased with her words. Yes, I admit that we were the ones who planned this from the beginning, but do you really dare to say that you never tried to test us?"

"In the prison, you clearly knew I was standing by the side but you didn't say a word. Later on, when we fought, you clearly didn't have any strength left and you still insisted on fighting with me, your actions also gave us the illusion that you had always wanted to follow Master, so if we were to calculate it this way, this time, we can at most be considered the same as deceiving each other and testing each other out. So why did Miss Qian Li make a big fuss about it?"

As the topic became clearer, the guilt in the steward's heart slowly disappeared. In its place was calmness.

The emotions that had almost been carried away by Qian Li earlier also quickly returned to normal.

Qian Li curled her lips, "Alright, these are the words of the butler. Then, whether it's me, the butler, or Qian Li, the butler, who was trying to probe her, what happened earlier, we will forget about it from now on."

The steward squinted and realized that this cunning old fox had fallen on the body of a wet behind the ears child for the first time.

The crux of the matter was that he was willing to do it.

I have always thought that I am an old fox. It is unexpected that I will meet a small one in my lifetime. Forget it, I can be considered to have a successor. Very well, let's make an agreement today.

Family...

This word, in the end, still echoed in Qian Li's mind. How could she put it, this feeling was like someone had stabbed a thorn in the tip of her heart, unable to pull out or swallow. When it was pulled out, it would hurt, and when it wasn't pulled out, it would also feel painful.

It hurts when you think about it, and it hurts when you think about it.

Because there was no time for him to not think about these things.

So, Qian Li pretended not to hear, but this time, the butler clearly did not plan on letting her go.

"Didn't Qian Li say that you wouldn't care about the things that happened before? Then why were you still against me when I said that I wanted to be a family?"

Only then did Qian Li turn around, and looked at the butler very seriously, "Butler, has anyone ever told you that a question that some people are unwilling to answer or are not looking straight at is actually a scar on the heart of that person. Since it is a scar, it cannot be removed, nor can it be rushed up to.

No one had ever said such a thing to him before, so the butler frowned. He was not sure if he was thinking about the meaning behind Qian Li's words, or was blaming Qian Li for being so dissincere at this time.

Qian Li sighed. Someone once said that there is a gap that cannot be bridged even if you look at it from an age of three, but it does not matter since it is rare for me to be in a good mood today, so I can tell you the meaning behind my words, but Steward, there are some things that Qian Li has only said once in her life, so, if you were to ask me again, I will not answer you again. "

Then, without waiting for the butler to speak, Qian Li immediately revealed her thoughts.

She said, "Firstly, I don't have a family, I have been a hooligan since the beginning of my life, and at first I was adopted by someone, but then I was treated as a hooligan and left to the side of the street. I ate a hundred meals and grew up in a white dress, and from beginning to end, I was the only one left."

"Secondly, I never thought that I would have my own family, so I don't care what kind of heart you have when you tell me this, but I, Qian Li, didn't have any family before, and I don't have any now. "So, don't keep on emphasizing this issue. Those fellows at the base are cute enough, and when they see me, they will always say these kinds of words to me. But as for me, Qian Li, I have always been alone, so I don't need my family."

"And, to tell you the truth, I've never felt anything like this about someone who has never had family warmth since I was young. I also feel that it's very burdensome and irritable, so, I'm sorry."

After saying that, Qian Li had already stood still, "I remember that day when you guys came out of the prison, it was at this place that you guys covered my eyes.

The butler did not say anything, and neither did Qian Li.

She didn't know how this person who killed without batting an eye really felt, but Qian Li knew that she really didn't like that feeling.

The feeling of losing something after getting it.

How could he describe the feeling of knowing that his entire family was dead?

Disappointment? Despair?

No, it was a feeling of being sucked dry, a feeling of suffocation.

At that time, she had just realised that she was pregnant, and at that time, she had even loved Gong Ye to the point that she wanted to ask him about it, even if she had heard it.

Qian Li shook her head, everything in front of her had turned black. She couldn't do anything, so she could only quietly sit in the carriage and allow them to carry her.

"Phew …"

She calmly let out a breath as she felt that although these few days she hadn't expended too much energy, her days in the prison were much more tiring than when she had to be on guard all the time.

She closed her eyes and took the opportunity to rest.

However, within his mind, there were still scenes that he did not wish to face or recall.

They said that the Xiao Lan died because of him, and that was why the Emperor ordered her to accompany her?

They said that it was only because she had the Noble Consort's pleas that she was able to bury the Royal Tomb under the position of Empress?

Qian Li frowned. Because of this action, a dazzling square character appeared in the middle of her originally exquisite face.

What was wrong?

What was the truth?

How many things did she not know?

Most importantly, if he were to die at the same time as Xiao Lan, then he would be reborn.

Thinking about that girl, Qian Li still felt a lot of pain in her heart.

Some people accompanied him on a short journey, while some accompanied him for a very long time. However, in the end, there were only Gong Ye and the Xiao Lan who came from the beginning to the end.

Gong Ye had said before, that he would never let Murong Yan down in this life. However, she was the only one who could not be saved, yet Gong Ye was still spending the night under his Hibiscus Courtyard with his beloved girl.

Xiao Lan had said before that no matter in this life or in the next, she would follow Empress forever. If she wasn't old, she wouldn't die.

The two of them had experienced countless life and death trials together. Murong Yan had died for the Xiao Lan and the Xiao Lan had also died for the sake of Murong Yan.

This was actually what Murong Yan didn't understand the most. The two of them had clearly endured countless life and death trials, endured all the dangers and dangers, and finally, when everything was set, and they started to enjoy wealth and prosperity, Xiao Lan, the person who had promised to never marry, to forever accompany her, had actually personally killed their own child as well as themselves …

In the end, she actually died as well.

Since that was the case, was the death of Xiao Lan going to accompany her for a lifetime in order to fulfill her promise, or was it because … Because she had also suffered from Gong Ye's evil scheme?
