He is the deputy general manager of the inner palace, and he has met a lot of beauties, but he is the first to be able to make his heart flutter with excitement as soon as he sees a woman like Xueling.
Her cold eyes and beautiful face were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart. He suddenly had a strong impulse to get this woman!
His mind suddenly turned, this was Princess Xiao's maid, with a good status. Although he was the deputy manager, he had no control over Princess Xiao. If he really annoyed Princess Xiao, the manager would not let him go.
Huh, although the chief manager is very powerful and I heard he has killed many people, he is just a young and energetic boy with a green head who is a martial artist!
At that time, he was very domineering at the banquet table. He must not be willing to be subordinated to others. This time, he tried a little trick, so why not be fooled? Once the prince wakes up, the first thing to do is to deal with the chief manager!
At that time, with the arrogance of the chief steward, he will definitely conflict with the prince. The prince might drive him out of the house in anger, or even kill him!
Furthermore, this general manager is also imaginary. He has no real power and cannot control himself!
Thinking of this, he showed a proud smile. What's the use of being powerful in martial arts? But what is really powerful about a martial artist is his mind. He can decide a person's fate with just one sentence. This feeling is really amazing!
He stood outside the small courtyard and listened.
"Princess Xue, this Deputy Manager Li outside is a bit interesting." Chu Li took the embroidery bag and smiled at Xue Ningyu.
Xue Ningyu said: "Li Gui has a lot of bad ideas, and sometimes he has to hammer them out."
"Then I won't talk too much." Chu Li smiled: "But judging from the meaning, he has some thoughts about Miss Qiu'er."
"Hmm -?"
Chu Li said with a smile: "Princess, sometimes people can't control themselves. They know they can't do something, but they still do it. Although my eyes can't express Cha Qiuliang, they still have some ability to see people."
"...No, no, no." Xue Ningyu shook her head.
"I hope I'm wrong." Chu Li smiled and changed the subject casually: "Let's stop talking about these gossips and get down to business."
"That's right, let's get down to business." Xue Ningyu said hurriedly.
She began to murmur in her heart.
Although Li Gui is full of bad intentions, he is not that courageous and should not have any wrongdoing towards Qiu'er.
But the General Manager is an extremely unusual person. He has become a first-class person at a young age and is definitely not someone who talks nonsense. Since he said this, he must have seen some signs.
People can change, especially in an environment like the palace, where power can quickly change a person. Li Gui is still the same as before in front of him. He may not really have changed, but he is just good at pretending and has not shown it!
Do you firmly believe that Li Gui has no bad ideas, or do you want to take precautions and check first?
Two thoughts were entangled in my mind, and I made a decision after a while.
Just check it quietly without letting Li Gui find out.
If there is really a problem, then he really can't stay. He is so audacious, and once he becomes lustful, he will do anything to keep him away from Qiu'er.
Chu Li's understatement made Li Gui feel chills all over his body when he heard it outside.
Chu Li suddenly broke through the deepest thoughts in his heart.
He was frightened and frightened, and his face was as pale as paper. The bright sunshine shining on his body could not melt the coldness in his heart.
——
Chu Li picked up two strands of hair, sat on the couch that Xue Ling moved out, and started to use his supernatural powers.
After a while, he opened his eyes, thoughtfully.
"Have you found it?" Xue Ningyu asked hurriedly.
Chu Li frowned and muttered: "Outside the city!... This time they came well prepared. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it alone, and the guards in the mansion will have to be dispatched."
"Of course!" Xue Ningyu said hurriedly: "I have to ask the chief manager to personally take this matter."
Chu Li said: "Let me go see the prince."
He looked at Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi waved her jade hand and said, "Don't worry, seven masters from the outer world are protecting me. Just go and come back quickly!"
Chu Li nodded, she had the relic beads and she could come back at any time, so she wasn't that worried.
He and Xue Ningyu came to the study.
There were only three people guarding the study, Xu Ning, Zheng Lide, and Song Liuying.
"They are outside the city, and the General Manager needs people to rescue them." Xue Ningyu looked at Zheng Lide: "Commander Zheng, please take someone with the General Manager there!"
Zheng Lide looked embarrassed: "Princess Xue, the prince's side..."
"If it doesn't work, let Sister Xiao come over first, and all the guards over there will come over." Xue Ningyu said, "That's enough manpower!"
Zheng Lide shook his head and said: "Without the prince's order, we cannot mobilize the manpower in the mansion."
"Not even the chief manager?" Xue Ningyu asked.
Zheng Lide looked at Chu Li and nodded helplessly.
Chu Li looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning said nothing, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, as if the old monk was in meditation.
At this moment, Li Gui reported outside: "Princess, two more maids are missing."
"What's going on!" Xue Ningyu shouted: "Come in!"
Li Gui bowed, walked to the study carefully, and whispered: "Two more maids have not returned."
"How many maids are there now?" Xue Ningyu shouted angrily: "Two were missing last time, and you didn't call the rest back?"
"Princess, please forgive me." Li Gui lowered his head.
Xue Ningyu said angrily: "What now?"
"Yes, everyone is back." Li Gui said hurriedly.
Xue Ningyu snorted and turned to look at Zheng Lide: "Commander Zheng, you are going to die without saving me, right?"
"Princess Xue..." Zheng Lide looked troubled and looked at the unconscious King An.
Song Liuying said: "Commander Zheng, let's do this. Sister Xue and I have unanimously decided to let the chief manager take people there. The prince is awake, and we are the ones who are responsible!... Commander Zheng, the prince is unconscious, it doesn't matter if it's the two of us.
Doesn’t it count?”
"I don't dare!" Zheng Lide said hurriedly.
Xue Ningyu said: "You are so nagging, hurry up and take someone with you!"
Zheng Lide turned to look at Chu Li: "General Manager, how many people do you need to bring?"
Chu Li said: "This group of people dare to take revenge like this. They must have come prepared. It won't work without a few people. Bring eight Tianwaitian!"
"Eight?!" Zheng Lide frowned.
"Commander Zheng, if you linger any longer, I'll ask you if they're in any danger!" Xue Ningyu waved her jade hand impatiently: "Hurry up, I'll pick up Sister Xiao!"
"...Yes." Zheng Lide nodded helplessly: "Please come with me, Chief Manager."
Chu Li saw his reluctance, but didn't care.
Zheng Lide groaned secretly.
The Chief Manager and King An are not a team, but enemies!
If the general manager leads someone to die, then he will really be blamed for the consequences of the whole world. Even if he escapes with his life and the lives of his subordinates are lost, and the prince wakes up, he will not be able to escape the blame!
When the two came outside the courtyard, Zheng Lide greeted them, and eight masters from Heaven and Earth appeared.
"The General Manager wants to take us to rescue the missing maid." Commander Zheng said solemnly, glancing at the eight masters of Tianwaitian: "No matter what, they are all members of our palace, and we must not ignore death."
"Commander, is the prince awake?" a middle-aged man asked.
He is tall and strong, with a handsome appearance, but his eyes are slightly cold, like a poisonous snake staring at people.
"Ying Wuqiu, the prince is not awake yet." Zheng Lide shook his head and said, "But Princess Xiao will come over, and Ji Laowu and the others will come to guard the prince."
"Since the prince is not awake, we cannot go out without the prince's order." Ying Wuqiu said calmly, clasping his fists and looking at Chu Li: "General manager, I'm sorry, all we have to do is protect the prince. As for other people, it doesn't matter.
