King An pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly and said: "That's all, for the sake of their kindness and righteousness, we will exempt you from punishment!... If you leave the house without permission, each of you will be fined one thousand taels of silver. If there is a next time, you will be expelled from the house.
go!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zheng Lide responded respectfully, not daring to show an unhappy look.n∈n∈,
King An said calmly: "Is it because everyone is dissatisfied with my punishment?"
"I don't dare." Zheng Lide said hurriedly.
King An said: "If anyone can mobilize you, what use do I have for you?... There will be no next time!"
"Yes!" Zheng Lide responded respectfully.
King An waved his hands, looking a little sleepy.
Zheng Lide stepped back cautiously and left the study. He breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that his back was soaked and sticky.
King An turned to look at Xu Ning: "Your Majesty, please take care of my safety!"
Xu Ning combines tithing.
"My lord, who will make the decision after you go to bed?" Song Liuying asked lightly with his slender eyebrows lightly knitted.
She no longer mentioned Chu Li.
"Nothing should be done in the palace and no one can go out." King An said calmly: "Be careful of those who become the prince's palace!"
"It is said that King Cheng is so domineering that no one dares to offend him." Xue Ningyu snorted, "If he really offends us, will we just tolerate it?"
"The best thing is to be patient." King An sighed: "We will talk about it after I recover from my injury."
"Please tell me when the prince will be fine again!" Xue Ningyu hummed.
King An pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "One month... you can discuss all major and minor matters in the mansion, but the guards are not allowed to leave the mansion, just stick to the door."
"...Okay." The two girls nodded slowly.
It's not difficult to stick to the door, but it's really difficult for them to send people to do things.
Xue Ningyu said: "Your Majesty, if it doesn't work, I'll ask my eldest brother to come over and control the palace!"
"Absolutely not!" Wang An's expression changed.
He became more and more sleepy. Unable to cheer up, he still said reluctantly: "When your elder brother comes, I can't explain clearly. The prince cannot be involved with the army. This is a taboo in the court. You must not invite you."
Brother, come here, otherwise you will harm me!"
"It's already this time, and I still think about these things!...Okay." Xue Ningyu hummed: "Then let Sister Song's eldest brother come over."
"That's not possible." King An tried his best to open his eyes and said, "You two will discuss everything. Just stick to the door and don't cause trouble. If there is any trouble, please bear with it. I will deal with it when I wake up."
"Yes." The two women nodded helplessly.
King An could no longer hold his heavy eyelids and fell into a deep sleep again.
"Your Majesty, when will the prince wake up again?" Song Liuying asked.
Xu Ning Heshi said: "You should wake up in three hours. The two princesses don't need to stay here. When the prince wakes up, I will send someone to tell you."
"Sister Song, you should go back and rest first. I'll guard you here," Xue Ningyu said.
Song Liuying nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll come over in the evening."
When Chu Li returned to Tianshu Courtyard, the setting sun dyed the small courtyard red.
Xiao Shi was half leaning and half lying on the couch, her beautiful face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and her eyes looked up and down like autumn water, captivated by the sunset.
Chu Li came closer: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Shi snorted and squinted at him: "Are you making a big show of yourself again?"
Chu Li smiled and said: "I lost my position as chief manager."
"Huh?" Xiao Shiyu's face sank.
Chu Li said: "King An woke up and blamed me for arbitrarily mobilizing the guards out of the palace and withdrawing my general manager. From now on, I can stay here with peace of mind and feel safe."
"Duplicity!" Xiao Shibai glanced at him and snorted: "He is quite decisive."
She felt that if she were King An, he would also withdraw Chu Li.
As soon as King An fell into a coma, the chief steward was the most powerful person in the palace. But he was his enemy, so how could he be allowed to do whatever he wanted? It would be best to withdraw, but if it really didn't work, he could just recover afterwards, and just add some compensation.
King An should be familiar with this simple technique of controlling his subordinates.
Chu Li smiled and said: "He has the qualities of a hero. It's a pity..."
He shook his head and laughed.
If King An had removed his general manager when he woke up for the first time, there would have been no trouble. Everyone would have just discussed it, not said much, let alone sympathized with him or respected him.
It's a pity that the opportunity passed by in a flash. King An failed to seize the opportunity to give himself a chance to perform and win over some people's hearts. Even if King An is dead now, he still has enough prestige to control the whole government and will not have any trouble.
trouble.
Xiao Shi said: "Are you willing to let him withdraw?"
"Just withdraw. This general manager is also in name only. Now he is in name only. It's better." Chu Li said with a smile.
Xiao Shi chuckled: "There is still Shi Wuming, so go ahead!"
Yang Xu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Miss, we all heard what the manager said, and it made our hearts feel warm. Everyone must have their hearts for the manager, and everyone will listen to what the manager says."
"Innocent!" Xiao Shi glanced at her and said, "They listen to Prince An even more!... Well, let's just let it go. Your chief manager is really not interesting."
Just as he was talking, Song Liuying, dressed in a lake green Luo shirt, walked over with trembling golden steps.
"General Manager, the prince is seriously injured and is in a bad mood." Song Liuying smiled and said: "It is inevitable that he will go to extremes. Please forgive me, General Manager."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "Princess Song, in fact, there is nothing wrong with the prince's decision. I don't blame the prince."
"Huh?" Song Liuying was surprised.
Chu Li sighed: "Don't you know the grudge between me and the prince?"
"What grudge?" Song Liuying asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, it is also my fault that the palace's current strength has declined." Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "Back then, the prince devised a plan to have ten masters of the palace dress up as assassins to assassinate him. I followed the plan and killed these ten.
He was killed by an assassin, how could the prince not harbor a grudge against him!"
"Did you, the chief manager, kill those ten guards?" Song Liuying asked in surprise.
Chu Li smiled bitterly and said: "I brought the guards of the Duke's Mansion to do this. I didn't ask their identities and killed them directly. The prince was in trouble and couldn't tell."
"No wonder the prince has always disliked you!" Song Liuying suddenly realized, shook his head and sighed: "Those are ten masters from the outer world, but the prince is so distressed that he can't sleep, saying that it ruined his big event."
Chu Li said: "Your Majesty did not kill me, which is already considered magnanimous."
Song Liuying looked at him helplessly: "Alas... I originally thought I could persuade the prince, but it seems there is no other way."
"He has been worried that the prince will secretly kill him." Xiao Shi smiled half-heartedly: "Now I feel relieved."
Song Liuying remained silent.
After all, they had been married for more than ten years, and she knew that Prince An was not a magnanimous person. If Chu Li did something like this, he would become a thorn in the prince's side, and he would definitely find a way to kill him.
"General Manager, why don't you go back to the Duke's Mansion?" Song Liuying sighed: "Why bother wading into the muddy water here?"
Chu Li glanced at Xiao Shi: "Second Miss is here alone, I'm really worried."
"The palace is not as scary as you think." Song Liuying said with a smile: "Outsiders don't understand. They think that once you enter the Hou family, it is as deep as the sea, and there must be many dangers in the palace. In fact, it is not so complicated."
Chu Li smiled.
In her opinion, the palace is peaceful, but danger often lies in this tranquility. (To be continued.)
