Chu Li took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He had never expected this to happen. He thought his position was high enough and he was the undisputed number one among the younger generation. He even killed Wei Wuwei and forced the Church of the Divine Blood to seal the mountain.
Even if the Emperor was angry with him and did not like him, he could not ignore his strength and agree to the Fu Dynasty's proposal. Otherwise, what would happen to him?
His betrothed woman was taken away and it was the Emperor himself who agreed to the Fu Dynasty's proposal. He was completely humiliated and could no longer stand in the Ji Dynasty. If he wanted to wash away this humiliation, he could only snatch his woman back.
This was no different from forcing him to fight the Fu Dynasty's imperial family.
No matter how powerful he was, he could not defeat the entire imperial family. He would definitely die.
Leng Wufeng was forcing him to his death!
When he thought about this, he felt a chill run down his spine and his face darkened.
Siao Shi said, "Do you know how many enemies you have now? Not only do all the factions want you dead, but so does the Emperor and the Crown Prince … Even Lu Yurong may not have good intentions. She's so smart, how could she not have foreseen this situation? "
Chu Li did not reply.
Anger surged and boiled in his heart.
He wanted to rush into the Imperial House, drag Leng Wufeng out and beat him half to death, or even kill him.
"Calm down, don't do anything rash." Siao Shi took a cup of tea and passed it to him. She walked into the gazebo and sat on an embroidered stool to take a sip. The faint aroma of tea lingered in the gazebo.
Chu Li savored the tea, experiencing the bitterness and sweetness. He calmed down and suppressed his anger.
It seemed like these people had seen through Goddess Attraction Mountain's weakness. They knew they did not care about worldly affairs and dared to treat him like this. Perhaps this was where the Enlightened Masters' confidence came from.
They knew that the Enlightened Masters would not intervene unless it involved life and death. The master of Goddess Attraction Mountain would not intervene. As for the future, another Enlightened Master would naturally take over. As long as it did not involve life and death, it was not a big deal.
Chu Li put down his teacup and muttered, "Looks like the Emperor is determined to sacrifice Lu Yurong."
"You and Lu Yurong will be sacrificed." Siao Shi shook her head. "After this incident, Lu Yurong can forget about being the Secret Guardians Hall's commander. The Emperor won't be at ease with her. She will definitely be resentful and we must prevent her from retaliating."
Chu Li frowned. "Is the Emperor going to change the Crown Prince?"
Chu Li frowned. "Is the Emperor changing the Crown Prince?" Xiao Shi scoffed and said, "The most heartless people are the Emperor's family. None of them are good people. Lu Yurong is a woman after all. She's not suitable to be the Crown Prince's confidant. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, Lu Yurong's position will be awkward.
Chu Li said, "Lu Yurong is from the House of High Duke. She is the most reliable. The Crown Prince should not give up on her.
"The Crown Prince didn't let go, but the Emperor forced him to give up. What else could he do?" Siao Shi pouted her red lips and said, "This Emperor of ours always thinks that women are unreliable and unworthy of great responsibility."
She often entered the palace and chatted with the Empress and the Empress Dowager. She was like a fish in the water in the back palace. She was well-informed and understood the Emperor better.
Chu Li just has to stay at Goddess Attraction Mountain and say that he is in isolation. No one can say anything. Lu Yurong will be married and everything will be over. "
She felt that the best thing to do now was to feign ignorance. As long as Chu Li stayed at Goddess Attraction Mountain and said that he was in isolated cultivation, no one would be able to say anything. As long as he endured through this period, Lu Yurong's marriage would be over.
Moreover, Chu Li and Lu Yurong were fake. She knew from Siao Qi's letter that there was no need for her to risk her life for a fake engagement.
Chu Li frowned. "What about Lu Yurong?"
"She …?" Siao Shi shook her head. "I heard she returned to the Ren Public House. No news."
Chu Li nodded.
Siao Shi saw his expression and said, "Don't do anything stupid!"
Chu Li said, "It doesn't matter if the engagement is real or not. We can only treat it as real."
If he announced it was a fake engagement, everyone would think that he was afraid of Tang Ye. They would think that it was a real engagement. They would think of his hypocrisy and cowardice. His reputation would be ruined.
In this world, reputation was very important. It had a formless and fatal power. He could not let his reputation be ruined.
Siao Shi frowned and nodded slowly.
She knew this too. She could only treat it as real.
Chu Li gritted his teeth and sneered. "If that's the case, we might as well get married. The Emperor can't just send people to stop us from getting married. I'd like to see if the Emperor still has the cheek to do so! "
"You're really daring. Will Lu Yurong agree?" Siao Shi smiled.
Chu Li said, "She's forced to a dead end. She might not be afraid."
Based on his understanding, Lu Yurong would agree. She also had the courage to fight back.
As a lady of the House of High Duke, as long as she did not rebel, the Emperor could not do anything to her. At most, he could just abandon her.
"What about Xiao Qi? Have you ever thought about how she would feel? "Siao Shi said impatiently." Even if she agrees, she won't be happy. "
Chu Li nodded. He remained silent.
Siao Shi said, "Once you get married to Lu Yurong, will it be real or fake?"
Chu Li smiled. "Of course it's fake."
Siao Shi's bright eyes stared at him. Her deep eyes seemed to want to devour him. She scoffed, "I'm just afraid that you'll make it real and make her your wife!"
Chu Li shook his head.
Siao Shi pouted. "Younger sister is really silly. She just had to agree!"
She was a little worried. She vaguely understood her younger sister's thoughts. She felt that her younger sister was walking on the wrong path. It was not worth it just to cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture.
Chu Li frowned.
Footsteps were hurried. Suru in an apricot gown came. She held a small round wax ball and handed it to Siao Shi. "Second Lady, news from the Palace."
Siao Shi took it and crushed the wax ball. She opened the paper ball and looked at it. She said to Chu Li, "Lu Yurong has resigned from her position as the Commander. The Emperor allowed it. She wants to become a nun but the Emperor did not allow it."
Chu Li's face was solemn.
Siao Shi passed the paper ball to Chu Li.
Chu Li glanced at it. He pressed both of his hands into ashes. He said, "I'll go see her."
"Chu Li, I've agreed on behalf of younger sister. You can pretend to marry Lu Yurong." Siao Shi pursed her red lips. She said hatefully, "This is too much. Can the people of the House of High Dukes be treated this way?!"
She did not think much of Lu Yurong's resignation from her position as the Commander. However, the Emperor did not allow Lu Yurong to become a nun. A young lady of the House of High Dukes was forced to this point. She was not even comparable to a normal family. It was really sad.
Chu Li frowned.
Siao Shi said, "How about this. I'll go talk to her myself. Just in case she doesn't agree!"
Chu Li said slowly, "We'll talk when we see her."
Siao Shi quickly said, "Let's go now!"
