Chapter 192: Confrontation (1/2)
The delicate ently entered the courtyard and called out softly, ”Scribe Chu Li, the Prince wants to see you”
Chu Li caler, nodded, and smiled, ”Thank you for the effort”
He followed the ht as he exited the arch
Chief Zhu lazily waved his hand, ”Follow
He sighed to hi to marry Prince An, a cold-hearted person that only cared about the power and the position of Eapinga smile, he was only able to blame the silly Second Lady and her unfortunate fate Who knew that even through the clean reputation, Prince An was such a figure? This was truly an ill-fateda swindler in thebad luck, what could even be done about it!?
Chu Li felt ain his mind was to scold the Second Lady in her face
Chief Zhu slowly uttered, ”I'll remind you of the prince's rules so you don't offend him and have him blame it on your Public House”
Chu Li replied, ”I'll need Chief Zhu to give ently cleared his throat, ”Our prince likes peace and quiet He doesn't like loud sounds, especially fro”
”Okay,” Chu Li nodded No wonder there was no one outside his study room, he did not like too h that, it was clear that he was always in a state of impatience Unsettled and short-teer within him that could not be released These types of people were easily enraged
Chief Zhu continued, ”The Prince is very amicable and approachable However, he really hates lies, just like the people in the Imperial Residence Whenever a mistake is made, the punishment wouldn't be too serious if they admit to it honestly If they were to lie, they'd be chased out of the Iain!”
Chu Li nodded
He understood what Chief Zhu was trying to say Chief Zhu wanted hi
”The Envoys of the Imperial Residence were killed Was your Public House responsible for it?” Chief Zhu still sounded lazy but his eyes were sharp
Chu Li sighed, ”This is our responsibility We were too careless and thought no one dared to attack people from the Imperial Residence which hy not many Masters were sent to protect the for the assailants We'll definitely punish the the Imperial Residence's Envoys!”
”Hhed, ”They're dead nohat's the point of avenging them!?”
Chu Li explained, ”The perpetrators are quite daring If they illing to kill people of the Imperial Residence today, they'd surely do it tomorrow”
Chief Zhu furrowed his brows, ”Isn't the Chong Ming Path very safe and peaceful? Why did this even happen in the first place? You're presenting a false picture of peace and prosperity!”
Chu Li sighed, ”We didn't think the Envoys of the Imperial Residence would be attacked exactly because it was peaceful and prosperous”
”Always have your reasons, don't you!” Chief Zhu coldly re
Chief Zhu's sche the Yi Public House, Chu Li would have been forced into only reacting to his statements
Both of them entered the wide and quiet courtyard, the study rooht the man over,” Chief Zhu lowered his voice
Before Chu Li stepped into the courtyard, his fine hair erected He i, as if his wounds had not recovered yet The vigor fro, as if they arning hih
Chief Zhu stepped on the stairs and gently pushed the door open The wooden door quietly rotated and slowly opened
He bowed respectfully, colectful attitude he had before
Chu Li entered the hall and fist saluted
Prince An was stable on his arh his face was yelloithered, and sickly, he still had a luxurious attitude
He was holding a green porcelain teacup in his hand as he checked Chu Li His piercing gaze felt as if he could see right through Chu Li's organs
Chu Li drooped his eyes as he quietly stood still, keeping the Omniscient Mirror active
Prince An put down the teacup, ”I've heard that the Second Lady's health is getting better Is that true?”
Chu Li answered, ”Yes, the Second Lady's body is doing much better now She's already back to noraze threatening, ”She's been sickly since she was young, how'd she recover so quickly all of a sudden?”
Chu Li replied, ”We found the Longevity Grass in the Public House”
”Ah…, Longevity Grass…” Prince An slowly nodded His eyes were flashi+ng
However, Chu Li's heart dropped
He had finally found the answer to his suspicion Prince An was the one who cast the Vitality Sealing Finger!
When Prince An was in his twenties, he took advantage of the Second Lady's birthday celebration by visiting the Yi Public House and secretly casting the Vitality Sealing Finger on her Everyone would be disappointed if they knew of how vicious he really was
Prince An calmly continued, ”I heard that she was struck by the Vitality Sealing Finger Your Young High Duke and I are good friends He stayed over atTieying went to find the Emperor for help, but he was isolated for cultivation So ent to the Eh Official Has the Vitality Sealing Finger been undone?”
Chu Li sighed to himself No wonder the Second Lady was so silly Prince An and Master Siao Tieying were close friends!
He knew that Master Siao Tieying disliked Prince An Chu Li believed that this was simply due to the natural reaction to a brother-in-law so he did not dwell on it for too long However, now that he really thought about it, Master Siao Tieying may have clued in on how despicable Prince An was
Unfortunately, as the elder brother was unable to cure his sister, so were the parents unable to cure their children
Chu Li said, ”The Second Lady is a great person, so God will naturally bless her It has already been lifted Has PrinceSiao Qi? She's quite an eccentric and anti-social girl Always liked to be alone, even when she was young I've never really taken a good look at her before Well then, it's still a good thing worth celebrating,” Prince An stroked his s beard, ”Then I can rest assured”
”Thank you, Prince An,” Chu Li said, ”The Envoys were ht in my Public House We should've sent a few more Grandmasters to protect them”
However, Chu Li really meant to say that Prince An should have sent hed to himself about the ill destiny of the Second Lady Prince An did not have the chance to see the true colors of Siao Qi
Prince An waved his hand, ”I can't pin the bla the Envoys of the I to, just tell uys”
Chu Li sood reputation with the public Having aof celebration in the Public House Who wouldn't be willing to!?”
Prince An had ulterior , he made it sound as if it were the Yi Public House that was unwilling to have the e, so they killed the Envoys of the Imperial Residence to stop it Of course, he would not admit to his deeds or his motives
Prince An stroked his beard, ”Then I can rest assured My way of doing things is to never force people into doing things they don't want to The Second Lady is a world class beauty I'd be overjoyed if she joined the Imperial Residence”
