PS: Update complete.
She sighed in relief.
King Ping really wanted to take revenge. As long as he could do that, the throne was not important to him.
King Ping was a shrewd man. She could not tell if it was real or not, so she believed it for now.
Lu Yurong turned to look at Chu Li. "Your Royal Highness and Chu Li are very close. I'm curious, where did your friendship come from?"
King Ping said, "Chu Li saved my life before. He went to the Imperial Mausoleum because of me."
"No wonder." Lu Yurong smiled. "Chu Li is a loyal man."
"Chivalry is what Chu Li is like," King Ping said.
Lu Guangdi curled his lips. He looked at the smiling Chu Li and felt uncomfortable. He wanted to say something sarcastic but he restrained himself.
He was furious.
Initially, he came with Lu Yurong with the intention to make a contribution. He could do what Lu Yurong could do. He could also see through people's minds and see what Chu Li invited was thinking. He might be able to find Chu Li's weakness and weakness.
He did not expect that when he sat in this room, Chu Li would emit a hazy golden light that shrouded King Ping and Lu Yurong. His special skill was completely ineffective.
He was used to using special skills to see through people's minds. He knew what others were thinking and everything was under his control. Without this, it felt like everything was out of his control. He felt insecure, as if he was deaf and blind.
He then encouraged himself. As long as King Ping left the area covered by Chu Li's golden light, he would be able to see through King Ping's mind!
"Let's not talk about the imperial court tonight. We'll talk about love!" Chu Li raised his glass and smiled. "How's the war between the Li and Qiu Dynasties? Your Royal Highness, do you know?"
"It's almost over." King Ping shook his head. "I thought it would be a big war but it's only in Falling Autumn City. The war is only controlled at the border."
"What if Falling Autumn City is breached?" Chu Li asked.
King Ping said, "It seems like both sides have a tacit understanding to fight in Falling Autumn City. Even if the Qiu Dynasty breached Falling Autumn City, the Qiu Dynasty's cavalry will not march in."
"Why?" Lu Yurong frowned. "Is there someone behind this?"
King Ping said slowly, "It should be the Fu Dynasty."
"This Fu Dynasty!" Lu Yurong scoffed.
She had a deep hatred for the Fu Dynasty. The Fu Dynasty's shadow could be seen in almost every war. They instigated discord and made life difficult for the four nations, but he reaped the benefits without doing anything.
Unfortunately, everyone knew that there was nothing they could do. They could only let the Fu Dynasty lead them by the nose.
Chu Li asked, "The Fu Dynasty was the one who started the war, wasn't it?"
"Almost," King Ping said.
Chu Li pondered and said, "The Ji Dynasty is weak and has always been in conflict with the Li Dynasty. Once a war breaks out, we'll be destroyed by the Li Dynasty. Therefore, the Fu Dynasty wants to weaken the Li Dynasty in order to maintain the balance and instigate a war between the Li Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty. However, if the Li Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty really go to war, they'll be greatly weakened, and we'll have an opportunity to take advantage of it. This will also break the balance. Therefore, they only allowed the Li Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty to have a decisive battle at the border. The Fu Dynasty is really impressive!"
"The influence of the Fu Dynasty is everywhere," King Ping said faintly, "Just like some of the sects in the Ji Dynasty, they have the shadow of the Fu Dynasty."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Lu Yurong said, "The four states seem to be vassals of the Fu Dynasty."
"Something like that." King Ping said, "Even if we know, we can only go with the flow. Even if the four states join forces, we won't be able to defeat the Fu Dynasty."
The four of them fell silent.
They were all proud and arrogant people, so they disliked the idea of swallowing insults. At this moment, they felt oppressed and uncomfortable.
Lu Yurong frowned and said, "Are we going to stay like this forever?"
King Ping said, "Every Emperor wants to solve this problem, but unfortunately, they're powerless. The Fu Dynasty is too powerful, and it makes people feel hopeless."
"Sigh …" Lu Yurong sighed softly.
King Ping smiled and said, "That's why being an Emperor is really boring. I'd rather be a Royal Highness!"
Chu Li said, "No matter how powerful the Fu Dynasty is, they can't control everything. Is there any way to muddy the waters?"
King Ping shook his head and said, "There are many people who have the same idea as you, but it's very difficult to succeed. The Fu Dynasty has accumulated a wealth of experience over the past few centuries. They're skilled and can handle any challenge."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
Then, everyone began to talk about other anecdotes. King Ping quickly got up and went to the toilet.
Lu Guangdi waited for a while before leaving.
Chu Li looked at his back with a faint smile and smiled at Lu Yurong. "This Tide-listening Pavilion guy is a little smart."
Lu Yurong knew what Lu Guangdi was thinking, so she shook her head helplessly. She knew that it was useless. If Chu Li could not guard against this, he would not be Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "What's his background? I can see that you can't do anything to him. This doesn't seem like something you, Lady Lu, would do."
"Don't forget what you promised." Lu Yurong scoffed.
If it was not for her uncle-in-law's opinion, she would have gotten rid of Lu Guangdi long ago without Chu Li's help.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Of course, I won't go back on my word."
Lu Yurong told him about Lu Guangdi's background.
Chu Li said, "No wonder, you won't do anything without benefits. King Jing is really powerful. Get over it, how many daughters of the Emperor can decide their own marriage? You're enjoying the life of a princess in advance! "
Lu Yurong glared at him in annoyance. "Oh right, he said that he's going to master a godly skill soon, and his power will increase by several folds. When the time comes, don't be defeated by him. I'll be embarrassed too."
Chu Li smiled. "Then I'll have to experience his divine technique. Otherwise, even if I chase him away, he won't be satisfied and will come back."
"Alright, let's see if you can defeat him." Lu Yurong said.
Lu Guangdi and King Ping happened to enter and exit one after another. King Ping returned while Lu Guangdi went out.
Lu Guangdi fist saluted.
King Ping nodded slightly and walked into the house.
Lu Guangdi quickly returned to the house. His face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
He realized that his special technique was useless against Chu Li. It was being suppressed everywhere and was becoming more and more useless.
King Ping had a treasure on him that emitted an invisible force to prevent prying. Even without Chu Li's protection, he could not do anything to King Ping. He could not see through King Ping's thoughts.
After King Ping sat down, he straightened his body and smiled. "Miss Lu, I think you and Chu Li are a good match."
Lu Yurong pursed her lips and smiled. "Why would Your Royal Highness think so?"
Lu Guangdi's face darkened even more. He wanted nothing more than to seal King Ping's mouth.
King Ping smiled and said, "How many men in this world can surpass your intelligence, Miss Lu? Moreover, you're still young, so only Chu Li is suitable. "
"Chu Li is married." Lu Yurong smiled without changing her expression. "Moreover, if the two of us were to fight all day, it would be too tiring."
Chu Li grinned. "Looks like Miss Lu doesn't like me."
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "Do you think you can attract women? Only Xiao Qi has unique taste! "
Chu Li shook his head.
King Ping laughed.
Lu Guangdi breathed a sigh of relief and looked better.
