King An secretly breathed a sigh of relief and his expression recovered.
He is also worried that his most trusted subordinate will be bribed and betray him, and then he will really have no one left to use.
In such a big palace, there is no one whom I can rely on. Thinking about it makes me feel sad for myself.
All of this is Chu Li's fault. He is good at buying people's hearts and bewitching them. Almost all the maids and guards in the palace, including his own princess and daughter, are all facing Chu Li!
He betrayed his relatives and separated from his family, and the good reputation he had built up over the years was gone in one fell swoop.
Every time he thought of this, he had endless murderous intent. He wished he could kill Chu Li now and cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Okay, you are loyal!" King An snorted: "You were too careless in what you did, and Chu Li found out about it. He probably secretly sent someone to follow you, knowing that you wanted to do something for me."
"Yes, yes." Zheng Lide nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"
"Go!" King An waved his hand.
Zheng Lide hurriedly retreated.
After he came out of the study room, he wiped his sweat and finally passed the test. It seemed that the chief supervisor's method was successful. He had only one thought in his mind at that time, it was wrong, it was too wrong, it was really too wrong.
Now it seems that Venerable Xu Ning heard his thoughts, so he believed in himself.
"Alas..." King An shook his head and sighed: "Honorable Sir, do you have any other ideas?"
Xu Ning joined the tithe and remained silent.
King An smiled bitterly and said: "Now it seems that we have to take it slow."
Xu Ning nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."
King An said: "Nine times out of ten things in the world are not what you want. Even if I am a prince, it is very difficult for me to kill someone. If I want to kill someone but can't, I can only endure it. It's really boring to think about how this prince behaves."
Xu Ning said warmly: "The Grand Manager is a first-class man with extraordinary wisdom and excellent martial arts. If you want to kill such a person, the prince needs more patience and stronger martial arts. The key is to practice martial arts."
"Yes." King An sighed: "It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. You can't rely on others. If you want to kill him, I still have to do it myself. I decided to retreat again!"
"Your Majesty is wise." Xu Ning said slowly: "Now that Monk Fa Zhi is here, Your Majesty will get twice the result with half the effort in practicing the Golden Body Arhat Magic Skill. Opportunities are rare. Practicing with concentration and hard work is the foundation."
"When my golden-body Arhat's magic skill reaches another level, I won't need anyone else or these little tricks to disturb his mind, just shoot him and kill him!" King An sneered: "By then, he will be able to die in peace!"
Xu Ning nodded slowly.
King An's methods are too childish, but Chu Li has an extraordinary mind, and these methods are just children's tricks in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, who should be in charge of the palace?" King An frowned and said, "It's such a big palace. Once I go into seclusion and have no time to take care of it, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Xu Ning shook his head and said nothing.
"Or Chu Li?" King An snorted.
"Who else is there?" Xu Ning sighed.
King An remained silent.
He could imagine that once Chu Li returned to the position of chief manager, his majesty would no longer exist. He would be a joke in the eyes of everyone in the palace and become the butt of laughter. He would be capricious and no one would listen to him!
King An shook his head: "No matter what, he cannot be restored to his position as chief manager!"
Xu Ning said: "You can leave it to the princess to take care of it. The princess is the royal concubine and it is her duty!"
"Well, that makes sense." King An nodded slowly.
In this way, we get the best of both worlds. There is no need to restore Chu Li's position as the general manager. How can Xiao Shi be in charge of the palace? It would be best if Chu Li helps her out and has no name or status.
Chu Li and Lu Yurong appeared in her courtyard of the Renguo Palace.
Her yard has three entrances. The back garden has a rockery, a small lake, and a water pavilion, just like a garden.
The two of them appeared directly in the small pavilion in the back garden.
The moonlight was like water, and the back garden was very quiet. Several of her maids were not there. There were only two people in the huge back garden, and the surroundings were silent.
Lu Yurong coughed lightly.
Immediately, nine girls floated over, dressed in white like snow, surrounding Lu Yurong with faces full of joy.
Chu Li stood aside but was ignored by them, as if they didn't see him at all.
Lu Yurong pursed her lips and smiled, but did not let them say hello to Chu Li.
After the girls finished asking questions, she and Chu Li sat in the small pavilion. Soon the tea cups were brought, and the girls left the small pavilion and disappeared among the flowers.
Chu Li laughed: "These nine maids of yours are not fuel-efficient lamps."
"If I add them together, you are no match." Lu Yurong said calmly.
Chu Li smiled and said: "If you can't join forces, I can win."
Lu Yurong glanced at him without replying.
Chu Li's Qing Gong was so powerful that he really wouldn't let them join forces. He said calmly: "You can rest here for the night and meet the second brother's woman tomorrow."
"Have you entered the mansion?" Chu Li said.
Lu Yurong snorted: "Second brother is a little clever. He knew that we wouldn't agree, so he simply killed him first and then brought him to the house."
"It seems that she is really fascinated." Chu Li said with a smile: "This woman is indeed extraordinary to be able to charm such a playboy. No wonder you are worried."
"Don't gloat about your misfortune. If you really have a problem, don't hide it from me!"
"certainly."
"Then come with me." Lu Yurong stood up.
The two of them left the pavilion and came to a small courtyard in the back garden. It was a quiet and elegant courtyard. It was kept very clean and someone was always taking care of it.
"This is my retreat, you can stay here for one night." Lu Yurong said, "Don't touch anything!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Lu Yurong didn't say anything more and walked away.
Chu Li entered the small courtyard and went directly to the bedroom. The room was decorated warmly and pleasantly.
Chu Li lay on the soft and fragrant couch and thought about why Lu Yurong let her live here. Logically speaking, this was her private area and she would not be allowed to come in and live here.
There are many guest rooms in the Duke's Mansion, why not let yourself enter the guest rooms?
After thinking for a while, he stopped thinking. He couldn't see through Lu Yurong's thoughts, so thinking about it was in vain. He sat up cross-legged and practiced.
As the name suggests, Lu Yushu people are dressed in white shirts, spotless, with jade trees facing the wind.
He was carrying a beautiful woman to the back garden in a personable and energetic manner, and saw Chu Li and Lu Yurong sitting in the small pavilion.
His expression suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "Why is it you!"
Chu Li turned his head and smiled: "Second Master Lu, long time no see. How are you?"
"Chu, why are you here!?" Lu Yushu scolded angrily with a gloomy handsome face: "This is not Duke Yi's Mansion!"
Chu Li nodded: "This is Renguo Duke's Mansion, this girl is...?"
He looked at this beautiful woman.
At first glance, she is just beautiful, a little prettier than ordinary people. The more you look at her, the more beautiful you feel, as if the dust of a gemstone is slowly being wiped away, and a dazzling light shines out.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh, this was no ordinary woman!
Lu Yurong said: "This is my future second sister-in-law, Ji Ruyu."
Chu Li clasped his fists and smiled: "Chu Li has met Miss Ji!"
Ji Ruyu bowed her head and showed a gentle smile.
"Chu, get out of here!" Lu Yushu snorted coldly, "This is not the place for you to stay!"
Chu Li smiled: "Second Young Master, why do you do this? It's not the way to treat guests!"
"What kind of guest are you!" Lu Yushu said disdainfully: "Not everyone can come in and be a guest in our Duke's Mansion!" (To be continued.)
