At noon, Chu Li returned to the Public House.
He returned to the Skysoul Institute. As soon as he breathed in the scent of the Glory's Will Tree, the exhaustion in his body dissipated and he immediately relaxed.
After entering the house and changing his clothes, Xue Ling knocked on the door and brought in a basin of warm water for him to wash his face.
After he finished wiping his face, he sat on the armchair in the living room. She served him tea and stood to the side, staring at him with her beautiful eyes.
Chu Li sat down and looked at his clothes. "What's wrong?"
"Master, you've lost weight," Xue Ling said.
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "You've lost weight in just a few days? But it's true, the food in the mansion and the restaurant are not as good as the food you make, it's not to my taste. "
Xue Ling immediately beamed with joy.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Xue floated out of the living room and opened the door. Su Ru was standing outside.
Su Ru was dressed in an apricot gown that fluttered in the wind. Her pretty face was bright and flawless. "Chu Li is back, right?"
"I just entered the house." Xue smiled.
"Then hurry up. Lady Xiao, please invite him over," Su Ru said.
Xue Ling said, "Why are you so impatient?"
"You talk too much." Su Ru rolled her eyes.
Xue Ling pursed her lips and smiled.
By the time they entered the living room, Chu Li had already stood up. "Chief, let's go."
"You can go by yourself. I'll bring Xue Ling to your island." Su Ru smiled.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. He walked out of the courtyard and arrived at the Tower of Stargazing.
They were still far away from the Stargazing Tower, but they could already hear the sound of the zither. The sound of the zither revealed the high sky and bright air, with a broad artistic conception.
Chu Li smiled. The Lady was in a good mood today.
He went straight to the third floor and was startled to see that the Second Miss was also there.
Xiao Qi brandished her sword. The light from her sword was as clear as water, graceful and elegant.
Siao Shi's back was facing her as she sat in front of the window, playing the guqin.
The sunlight shone through the window, making Siao Shi's face look like white jade. From the side, the contours of her face were deep. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Young Lady, Second Lady." Chu Li fist saluted.
The sword light suddenly disappeared, and the treasured sword returned to its sheath.
The sound of the zither stopped abruptly.
The two ladies lifted their eyes and looked at him. Two rays of clear light landed on his face.
"Have a seat." Xiao Qi pointed at the garden stool.
Chu Li's expression did not change as he calmly sat opposite the two women.
He felt that the entire third floor was brightly lit, and the two women's faces overlapped, making it hard for him to look at them directly.
"Thank you for making this trip. What did King An say? "
"He said he would send a few more people to teach Second Miss palace etiquette and take care of Second Miss' daily life."
Xiao Qi said, "Yes, I have to learn. Otherwise, I'll become a laughing stock in the Imperial Residence and lose face as a princess."
"What do you mean by decent?" Siao Shi smiled faintly.
Siao Qi glared at her and continued to ask, "Chu Li, what do you think of King An?"
Just like her, Chu Li could see through people's hearts. Just by meeting them once, he could tell what they were thinking and thinking. And personality.
Chu Li smiled. "King An's health isn't very good."
"He's sick?" Xiao Qi frowned. "I've never heard of it."
She stared at Chu Li thoughtfully. Chu Li was avoiding the topic, could it be that there was something wrong with King An?
She glanced at Siao Shi who was beside her and decided to ask her in detail after Second Sister had left.
Xiao Shi asked, "What illness?"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's an internal injury, a very troublesome internal injury."
"The Imperial Family has countless elixirs and top-notch masters. If it really doesn't work, there's still the Emperor." Xiao Qi smiled. "It's just an internal injury, what's there to worry about?"
Chu Li smiled. "That's how it should be. I'm sure it won't take too long."
Xiao Shi asked, "You've never seen his concubine?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I only met King An. After all, my status is different."
"That's true," Siao Shi nodded lightly.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry, Second Lady. When you enter the fu, you will be the main consort. No matter how powerful the side consort is, it will not be proper. "
"Is King An's daughter alright?" Siao Shi asked.
Chu Li shook his head.
Xiao Qi said, "Second Elder Sister, don't worry. They are not flood spirit beasts. "
Siao Shi sighed softly, "I thought I wasn't even afraid of death, what else could I be afraid of? Now I know I'm just a coward …"
"With Chu Li around, you don't have to worry about anything. He'll take care of everything for you." Xiao Qi smiled.
Siao Shi sighed, "Chu Li shouldn't have followed me into that quagmire."
Chu Li smiled.
"Alright, Second Elder Sister. You should go back first. I have something to say to Chu Li. "Siao Qi said.
Siao Shi rolled her eyes. "What secret do you have to say behind my back?"
Xiao Qi smiled. "It's the messy things in the fu that will pollute your ears."
"… Alright." Siao Shi pursed her lips and smiled at Chu Li. She raised her eyebrows.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When Siao Shi gracefully went downstairs, Siao Qi's face darkened. "What's wrong with King An?"
Chu Li pondered for a moment. "There are a total of fifteen Grandmasters in the Imperial Residence of King An."
He hesitated. Should he hide it from Siao Qi and let her go to Snow Lunar Pavilion without worry, or should he reveal some information to her?
Initially, he planned to hide it from her. He planned to do it quietly without anyone knowing. This was a huge matter that involved the extermination of an entire clan. One more person knowing would increase the risk.
Later on, he decided to reveal some information.
One man's wisdom was not as good as two. It was inevitable that he would make mistakes if he thought of a plan alone. He needed someone to make up for the mistakes. After all, this was not a trivial matter. If something happened to him, the High Duke's Public House would also be implicated.
Moreover, it was also his selfishness. If she entered Snow Lunar Pavilion, she would definitely be shot to death. He did not know when they would meet again.
She cultivated a strange heart technique that cut off her emotions and desires. After a long time, his image in her heart would be erased and she would no longer have any worries.
There were male disciples in Snow Lunar Pavilion too. Although she did not fall in love at first sight, they would still develop feelings over time.
With this matter, he could come into contact with her from time to time. He would have the opportunity to brand himself in her heart and never be erased.
These complicated thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment.
He said lightly, "King An's strength is shocking."
Siao Qi was deep in thought.
She stood up and walked to the window. The white veil on the window fluttered like mist and smoke.
She looked at the lake in the distance. Her bright eyes were shining.
Chu Li did not say anything else. With Siao Qi's intelligence, this sentence was enough.
"As a prince, he has such strength." Siao Qi said slowly, "It seems that he has the ambition to fight for the throne."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Siao Qi turned to look at him. "If he has the ambition to fight for the throne, why would he marry Second Eldest Sister?"
Chu Li remained silent.
Anyone who understood the affairs of the Ji Dynasty knew that the imperial family was afraid of the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses. The Emperor would never allow any of the High Duke's Public Houses to become a relative. Otherwise, it would be difficult to suppress them and the dynasty might change.
Back then, the Emperor had a verbal engagement with the Yi Public House to cut off the possibility of King An inheriting the throne.
Therefore, all these years, King An had been immersed in poetry and books. He had edited the library and gained a great reputation. He was deeply supported by the upright people in the court but he consciously did not make friends with the ministers in the military. His foundation was shallow. In the eyes of others, he knew his place and did not go against the Emperor's will.
If King An was content to be a king of peace and happiness, he would be neutral and not afraid of assassination. Why would he need to win over so many Grandmasters?
Siao Qi's face was gloomy.
She sat down again and leaned forward. She was very close to Chu Li and said, "Chu Li, tell me the truth. Does King An want to kill Second Eldest Sister?"
Chu Li nodded lightly. "The Vitality Sealing Finger of the Second Lady was done by him."
"Bang!" Siao Qi slammed her palm down. The clear palm print seemed to be branded on the sandalwood tea table.
Her face was solemn. "King An!"
