Chapter 370 Rejection (Fourth Update)
He is the deputy head of the inner palace, and he has seen quite a few beauties, but he is the first woman like Xue Ling who is so excited at the first sight.
Her cold eyes and beautiful face were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart at once, and he suddenly had an extremely strong urge to get this woman!
His thoughts turned, this is Concubine Xiao's maid, she has a good status, even though he is the deputy manager, but he can't control Concubine Xiao, if he really wants to annoy Princess Xiao, the chief manager will not let him go.
Hmph, although the chief executive is powerful, I heard that he killed a lot of people, but he is just a martial artist, a young and energetic boy with a green head!
At that time, he was very domineering at the banquet table, and he must have been unwilling to be let down by others. This time, he made a small trick, so he was obediently fooled? Once the prince wakes up, the first thing to do is to deal with the chief executive!
At that time, with the arrogance of the chief executive, he will definitely contradict the prince, and the prince may drive him out of the mansion in a fit of anger, or even kill him!
Furthermore, this chief executive is also imaginary, he has no real power, and he can't control himself!
Thinking of this, he showed a smug smile, what's the use of being good at martial arts, but for a martial artist, what's really good is the mind, a single sentence can determine a person's fate, this feeling is really amazing!
He stood outside the courtyard, listening attentively.
"Concubine Xue, Deputy Chief Li outside is a bit interesting." Chu Li took the embroidered bag and smiled at Xue Ningyu.
Xue Ningyu said: "Li Gui has a lot of tricks, sometimes he has to beat him."
"Then I won't talk too much." Chu Li smiled: "But judging from the meaning, he has some ideas about Miss Qiu'er."
"Huh—?" Xue Ningyu was startled, then shook her head and said, "No!... This guy knows how to measure!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "Princess, sometimes people can't control themselves. They know that they can't do it, but they still do it. Although my eyes can't explain Cha Qiuliang, they still have the ability to judge people."
"...No, no." Xue Ningyu shook her head.
"I hope I was wrong." Chu Li smiled, and casually changed the topic: "Let's stop talking about these gossips and get down to business."
"That's right, do business." Xue Ningyu said hurriedly.
She started to whisper in her heart.
Although Li Gui has a bad stomach, he is not that courageous, so he probably won't have any wrong thoughts about Qiu'er.
But the chief manager is not an easy person, he has become a first-rank at a young age, and he is definitely not a person who talks about it, since he said so, he must have seen some signs.
People will change, especially in the environment of the palace, power will quickly change a person, Li Gui is the same as before in front of him, it may not really be the same, but he is good at disguising and not showing it!
Do I firmly believe that Li Gui has no bad ideas, or should I take precautions and check first?
Two thoughts were entangled in my mind, and I made a decision after a while.
Check it out quietly so that Li Gui won't find out.
If there is really a problem, then I really can't keep it. I'm full of lust. Once I become lustful, I can really do anything. Let him stay away from Qiu'er.
Chu Li's understatement made Li Gui's body chill when he heard it outside.
Chu Li broke through the deepest thoughts in his heart.
He was startled and terrified, his face was as pale as paper, the bright sun shone on his body, but it couldn't melt the coldness gushing out of his heart.
——
Chu Li picked up two strands of hair, sat down on the couch that Xue Ling moved out, and began to perform magical powers.
After a while, he opened his eyes, thoughtful.
"Have you found it?" Xue Ningyu asked hurriedly.
Chu Li frowned and muttered: "Outside the city!... This time they came prepared, I'm afraid I can't do it alone, and the guards in the mansion have to be dispatched."
"Of course!" Xue Ningyu said hastily, "I have to trouble the Chief Manager to take someone there personally."
Chu Li said: "I'll go see the prince."
He looked at Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi waved her hands and said: "Don't worry, the seven masters from the outer world are protecting me, just go and come back quickly!"
Chu Li nodded, she had relic beads, and she could come back anytime, so she wasn't so 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 chief executive needs manpower to save them." Xue Ningyu looked at Zheng Lide: "Commander Zheng, take someone to go with the chief executive!"
Zheng Lide showed a embarrassed look: "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: "This way there will be enough people!"
Zheng Lide shook his head and said: "Without the order of the prince, we cannot mobilize the manpower in the mansion."
"Even the chief executive?" Xue Ningyu asked.
Zheng Lide looked at Chu Li and nodded helplessly.
Chu Li looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning didn't say a word, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, as if an old monk had settled down.
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, came to the study cautiously, and said in a low voice: "There are two more maids who haven't come back."
"How many maids are there outside now?" Xue Ningyu shouted angrily, "Last time two were missing, did you call the rest back?"
"Princess, forgive me." Li Gui bowed his head.
Xue Ningyu said angrily, "What about now?"
"Yes, they are all back." Li Gui said hastily.
Xue Ningyu snorted, turned her head to look at Zheng Lide: "Commander Zheng, you're going to die, aren't you?"
"Concubine Xue..." Zheng Lide looked embarrassed and looked at the unconscious King An.
Song Liuying said: "Commander Zheng, let's do this. Sister Xue and I have made a unanimous decision to let the chief executive take people there. The prince is awake, and we are the ones responsible!... Commander Zheng, the prince is unconscious. Does it matter if the two of us say it?" Doesn't count?"
"Subordinates dare not!" Zheng Lide hurriedly said.
Xue Ningyu said: "Don't be so wordy, hurry up and take someone there!"
Zheng Lide turned to look at Chu Li: "Chief Manager, how many people do you want to bring?"
Chu Li said: "These people dare to retaliate like this, they must have come prepared, if there are fewer people, it won't work, bring eight Tianwaitians with you!"
"Eight?!" Zheng Lide frowned.
"Commander Zheng, hold off any longer. I'll ask you what danger they are in!" Xue Ningyu waved her 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 he didn't care.
Zheng Lide secretly groaned.
The chief executive and Wang An are not on the same side, but enemies!
If the chief executive took people to die, he would be called out every day, and the earth would not work. Even if he escaped with his life, the lives of his subordinates were gone, and the prince woke up, and he would not be able to escape the guilt!
When the two came outside the courtyard, Zheng Lide greeted them, and eight masters from beyond the sky appeared.
"The chief manager wants to take us to rescue the missing maid." Commander Zheng said in a deep voice, and glanced at the eight masters of the sky: "No matter what, they are all from our palace, and we must not leave them alone."
"Commander, is the prince awake?" A middle-aged man asked.
He is tall and strong, with a handsome appearance, only a pair of eyes are slightly cold, like a poisonous snake staring at people.
"There is no request, the prince is still awake." Zheng Lide shook his head and said: "But Princess Xiao will come over, Ji Laowu and the others will come to guard the prince."
"Since the prince is not awake, we can't move out without the prince's order." Ying Wuqiu said lightly, cupping his fists and glanced at Chu Li: "Sir, I'm sorry, all we have to do is to protect the prince, as for the others, it doesn't matter." Our business!"
