The delicate maid, with her colorful skirt fluttering, came to the small courtyard lightly and said in a low voice: "Guard Chu, the prince has invited you."
Chu Li calmed down his anger, nodded and smiled: "Thank you."
He followed the maid out of the courtyard, passed through the Moon Gate, and saw Manager Chu.
Manager Chu waved lazily: "Come with me."
Chu Li clasped his fists and said nothing.
He secretly sighed that if the second young lady wanted to marry such a ruthless Prince An, who only wanted the power of the throne, it would be like a little white rabbit sending herself to the mouth of the big bad wolf.
He smiled bitterly, it was not only the fault of the second lady's stupidity, but also her bad luck and bad luck. Who would have thought that Prince An, who had a clear name, could be such a person, and he was not kind to others.
Just like when he encounters a liar or a drunk driver in the future, he has bad luck and what to do!
He was angry, angry and pitiful, and wished he could scold the second young lady in person for what she deserved.
Manager Chu said slowly: "Let me tell you the rules of the prince, so that you will not make mistakes and blame your prince's government."
Chu Li said: "Please give me some advice from Mr. Chu."
"Ahem." Mr. Chu coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said lazily: "Our prince likes silence the most. He doesn't like loud noises, and he doesn't like anyone to disturb him and delay his study."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded. No wonder there was no one outside his study. He seemed to be very sensitive to sounds.
This shows that he has been in a state of agitation, restlessness, and depression. This kind of person is most easily irritated.
Manager Chu added: "Your Majesty is the most approachable, but he hates deception the most. Like the people in the mansion, if they make a mistake, if they tell the truth, they will not be severely punished. If they lie, they will be expelled from the mansion and will never be used again!"
"
Chu Li nodded.
He understood what Mr. Chu meant, which was to tell him honestly and not to hide it.
"The murder of the royal envoy is the responsibility of your prince's palace, right?" Manager Chu's voice was still lazy, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Chu Li sighed: "We are responsible for this matter. We were careless. I thought that no one would dare to touch the people of the palace, so we did not send too many experts to escort. Our palace is looking for the murderer and will definitely punish the murderer severely. We will send envoys for the palace
revenge!"
"Hmph!" Manager Chu sneered: "Everyone is dead, what's the use of revenge!"
Chu Li said: "These people are so brave. They dare to kill people from the palace today. They will also dare to kill them tomorrow."
Manager Chu frowned and said: "Isn't Chongming Road Bo Ping Haijing? How could such a thing happen? You are whitewashing the peace!"
Chu Li sighed: "Because of the peace, I didn't expect that the royal envoy would be killed."
"Anyway, you are right!" Manager Chu said coldly.
Chu Li smiled and said no more.
Manager Chu was very scheming and kept trying to put hats on the Duke's mansion, but he could only try to block him out.
The two of them came to the spacious courtyard and Prince An's study.
"Your Majesty, we have already brought you." Manager Chu lowered his voice.
Chu Li didn't step into the courtyard, and the hairs all over his body stood up. He immediately put himself in a withered state, as if he had been injured, and the master of Tianwaitian in the dark formed a threatening momentum, as if he was faintly warning him.
"Come in!" Prince An's voice came.
Manager Chu stepped up the steps and gently opened the door. The wooden door turned silently and opened quietly.
He bowed to greet him solemnly, which was completely different from his previous indifference.
Chu Li stepped into the hall and clasped his fists in greeting.
Prince An was sitting peacefully in the Grand Master's chair, wearing a bright yellow robe. Even though his face was sallow and sickly, he still looked luxurious and dignified.
He held a celadon tea cup and looked Chu Li up and down, his piercing eyes seeming to penetrate his heart.
Chu Li lowered his eyes slightly. He stood quietly and moved the big round mirror.
Prince An put down the tea cup and said calmly: "I heard that your second lady is feeling better. Is it true?"
Chu Li said: "Yes, the second lady is in good health and has recovered."
Prince An looked at him steadily. His eyes were compelling: "I have been sick since I was a child. How can I get better all of a sudden?"
Chu Li said: "I found an immortal grass in the house."
"Oh, longevity grass..." Prince An nodded slowly, his eyes flashing.
Chu Li's heart sank.
He finally solved a doubt: the Locking Element Technique was actually performed by Prince An!
Prince An must have been in his twenties at that time. When the second young lady was born, he went to Duke Yiguo's mansion to watch, and secretly performed the Yuan Locking Technique, which was so cruel and chilling.
Prince An said calmly: "I heard that I was hit by the Sutra Locking Technique. I am a good friend of your young master. He lived in my house for a while when he was a child... Tie Ying found his father and he was in retreat. I helped him there.
The queen mother who asked for help finally sent the Forbidden Palace to worship,...is it solved?"
Chu Li sighed to himself, no wonder the second young lady was stupid, Prince An was actually a good friend of the eldest young master.
He knew that the eldest son had no good impression of Prince An. He originally thought it was just an instinctive dislike for his brother-in-law and did not go into the details. Now that he thought about it, maybe the eldest son also knew that Prince An was inappropriate.
It's a pity that he, the elder brother, can't cure his sister, just like parents can't cure their children.
Chu Li said: "The second lady's auspicious signs have been solved...has the prince seen the third lady?"
"Xiao Qi? She is a solitary girl. She likes to be alone since she was a child, but I have never seen her... Good, I'm glad." Prince An stroked his beard and smiled: "Then I am relieved."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Li said: "The envoy was killed this time because our government did not think carefully and should have sent a few experts from Heaven and Earth to escort him."
What he meant was that Prince An should send some masters from Heaven and Earth to escort him.
He secretly lamented that the fate of the second young lady was indeed unfavorable, as Prince An had not encountered Xiao Qi's true form.
Prince An waved his hand and said: "I can't blame you for this. The Duke's Palace will never kill the Prince's envoy. If you don't want to, just say it. I will never force you!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, and everyone in our family is happy to be able to marry you, and everyone is unwilling!"
Prince An's words were heartbreaking. It seemed that Duke Yi was unwilling to have this marriage and wanted to kill the royal envoy to prevent the marriage. Of course, he could not admit this.
Prince An stroked his beard and chin: "Then I, the king, can rest assured. I have never forced others to do anything. The second young lady is extremely beautiful. I am also very happy to be able to enter the prince's palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Li clasped his fists.
"Tie Ying's letter said that the murderer was the Duke of Renguo?" Prince An said calmly.
Chu Li said: "Yes, they were originally going to blame Duke Huaiguo's mansion. It happened that one of our guards recognized a killer who was a tribute to Duke Renguo's mansion."
"What a coincidence." Prince An smiled.
Chu Li nodded: "It is not as good as God. If Duke Huai suffers this injustice, his vitality will be greatly damaged."
"Isn't Renguo's mansion planning to marry into Huaiguo's mansion? Why do you do this?"
"Two tigers in one mountain must be able to compete with each other."
"Sigh... If you spend all your time on this, no wonder there are people in the martial arts community who keep causing trouble." Prince An stroked his beard and shook his head. He sighed: "They have all forgotten the original intention of establishing the Duke's Palace!"
"The people in the martial arts world can't blame the Duke's government for causing chaos," Chu Li shook his head and said seriously: "These city guards are relying on their power to prey on the people and do whatever they want. The court has no checks and balances, making them more lawless and making the world angry and resentful.
No bloody person can bear it."
King An frowned: "Is that exaggerating?"
Chu Li said: "The Cangliang City guard was assassinated this time. The court must have known that it was the work of the Duke Huaiguo."
"The two heroes of the Wang family." King An said calmly.
Chu Li said: "As worshipers of the Duke's Mansion, they know the importance and cannot be killed by the city guards, but why do they still go to Tiger Mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountains? It is really intolerable!... They are like this, among those martial arts warriors who are chivalrous and righteous.
What will happen to people?”
Prince An stroked his beard and smiled: "Listen to this. You seem to be on the side of the martial arts?"
Chu Li said sternly: "On the contrary, I am worried about the court. If this continues, the country will be unstable... As a prince, the prince should understand that water can carry a boat and also capsize it. People are boiling with resentment. How can the world be so peaceful?"
Can it not be messy!"
"Then what can you do?" Prince An stroked his beard and smiled disapprovingly.
The official law is like a furnace and the people are like iron. Those ants cannot cause any big troubles.
Chu Li said: "Equal power. The power of the city guard is too great, and the governor becomes a decoration. He often works together to bully the superiors and deceive the subordinates. If the governor's power can be increased and can compete with the city guard's separation of etiquette, it will be less likely to collude and collude, which will be more conducive to the control of the court.
.”
"Well..." King An was thoughtful.
Chu Li also has a trump card that he doesn't want to propose, which is to add another person to divide power.
As soon as this proposal was made, the official position would naturally increase. All the officials in the world wanted to thank the person who proposed it, and he did not want King An to get this credit.
"Of course, this is just a humble opinion of a villain. If you don't like the Fang family, please don't laugh at me." Chu Li said.
King An stroked his beard and waved his hands and said: "As expected of a second-grade bodyguard, he is very knowledgeable."
For the high officials in the court to be able to look down at the world from such a high position, Chu Li, as a bodyguard, has such insight and courage, which is truly extraordinary and commendable.
This life is like the Tang Dynasty in the previous life. For tens of thousands of years, the political system has been stable. Chu Li has come from this world. The dynasties have changed more frequently than this world. The crystallization of wisdom accumulated in history, Chu Li unconsciously picked up and thought it was ordinary common sense.
, but here it seems to be experienced and very different from the ordinary.
"I'm sending someone over this time. First, I want to teach the second lady the rules in the palace, so as not to make a joke in the palace." Prince An said with a smile: "The second is to set a date for the wedding. The queen mother has already arranged it with the people from the Qintian Prison.
, it’s best to get married in March next year.”
"Next March?" Chu Li pondered.
It's only September now, and there are still six months before March. It's inevitable that there will be long nights and many dreams after half a year.
It turned out that the queen was satisfied with Xiao Shi, so Prince An had no choice but to marry her, so he had to resort to secret means.
He raised his head and glanced at King An. He was so angry that he wanted to slap him to death.
The devil is as high as the Tao, evil always suppresses the good, and people's hearts are so vicious. No matter how indifferent and indifferent Xiao Shi is, her heart is still innocent. If she really enters the palace, she will really be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
Compared with King An, Xiao Shi wants to sacrifice herself to let the Duke's government breathe a sigh of relief. How childish, ridiculous, stupid, ridiculous and pathetic!
Thinking of this, Chu Li became even more angry.
Under the wisdom of the Great Round Mirror, no matter how angry you are, you will be suppressed and your mind will be calm.
"Is the prince feeling unwell?" Chu Li expressed concern and said in a sincere and sincere tone: "I think the prince's face is not looking good."
King An's complexion was sallow and sickly. He was a master of heaven and earth. Chu Li had already seen through the Great Circle Mirror that there were two auras in his body that were intertwined.
King An is always using his mental skills to fight against this internal force, and he cannot get rid of it or get rid of it.
Prince An waved his hand and said: "A small injury is not a problem. How are Tie Ying going to deal with this matter?"
Chu Li smiled: "I was only ordered to deliver the letter, I don't know about the rest."
Prince An said: "I will reply to Tie Ying and send a few people there. You can go back first."
Chu Li said: "Yes, then I'll take my leave!"
Prince An stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, then picked up the celadon tea cup.
Chu Li clasped his fists and left.
He turned around and returned to the small courtyard before, not leaving in a hurry. This was a rare opportunity to get a glimpse of more of the palace and find a way to kill Prince An.
Unless King An dies, Xiao Shi cannot escape, so he has no choice.
Although the palace is large, Prince An spends most of his time in the study, reading, meditating, regulating his breathing, and suppressing the foreign energy in his body. Chu Li can see the flow of his mind through the big round mirror.
The mental training method practiced by the royal family is a top secret and has not been spread to the world. Chu Li tried to use An Wang's mental method to find the weakness.
