Chu Li turned around and sneered, "Since His Royal Highness is so worried about me, it's boring for me to be the Head Chief. Why don't you just get rid of my position, lest everyone is at a loss!"
"Don't think that I won't dare!" King An glared at him coldly.
Chu Li said, "Your Royal Highness is the head of the Imperial Residence. Of course, you can do whatever you want. Who can control you? No matter how much effort I put in and how much risk I take, Wangye will not trust me. That's good. I don't want to be a chief steward. Wangye should just remove me and let me stay by Miss' side peacefully! "
King An sneered, "Do you really think so?"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and said faintly, "Please grant my wish, Your Royal Highness!"
"Very well!" King An scoffed.
"Your Highness!" Song Liuying quickly interrupted him.
King An glared at her in annoyance.
Song Liuying said, "Your Highness, if it wasn't for the Head Chief's prompt decision, I'm afraid the four maids in our residence would have lost their lives. No matter what, the Head Chief has done a great service."
Xue Ningyu said, "Your Royal Highness, Sister Song is right, it's better to be cautious. Once Your Royal Highness falls into a coma, there'll be no one in charge in the Imperial Residence, we two women really can't do it! The chief steward's position is the highest, and he can be a pillar at crucial times! "
Xue Ningyu and Song Liuying's words made Prince An even more uneasy.
This surnamed Chu was too good at winning people's hearts. Both of his princesses were standing on his side, and he was completely alone. This was really scary. He couldn't allow him to cause any more trouble. After his injuries were healed, he must find a way to get rid of this guy!
During this period of time when she was seriously injured, if she allowed him to jump up and down, she was afraid that the hearts of the entire Wang Fu would be won over by him, leaving her isolated. She could not allow such a thing to happen. As for whether she handled things unfairly, she could not care so much!
"You don't have to say anything more. Chu Li mobilized the Protectors without permission, which is a taboo in the Public House. Remove him from his position as the Head Chief! "Prince An said coldly.
"Your Highness!" The two women exclaimed.
Chu Li smiled and closed fist saluted, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness. If Your Royal Highness has no other orders, I will return to Lady Xiao's side to be a Protector. Goodbye! "
He turned around and left the study with a smile on his face.
It seemed like King An had really lost his mind. After he was injured, his heart was restless and his emotions were extreme. How could he do such a stupid thing?
Doing so would undoubtedly strengthen his authority, but it would also cause dissension. As the Chief Steward, he had made a great contribution, but he was punished by the Wangye for saving someone. The people in the fu would not dare to resist, but they would sympathize with him, which would increase his prestige.
Reputation was something that could only be obtained by paying a certain price. A chief steward. It was enough to exchange for enough Reputation!
As for the position of chief steward, it was only in name. His current authority was enough to get hundreds of people to respond to his call. In addition, he had faintly become the number one expert of the Prince's Mansion. His prestige was strong enough, so he did not need this empty title.
Xue Ningyu watched as Chu Li left in a carefree manner. She said in dissatisfaction, "Your Royal Highness, what's wrong with you? After the four maids went missing, Commander Zheng and the others did not have your password. It was Chu Li who shouldered the responsibility and forced them to act to save the four maids. But you punished the meritorious officials heavily. Who would dare to shoulder the responsibility in the future? "
King An waved his hand in annoyance, "If it were someone else, I would not have dealt with it this way. Chu Li is different. This person has the ambition of a wolf. We must guard against him!"
"Where did this wolf's ambition come from!" Xue Ningyu said snappily, "He is loyal and devoted. He did not have to do these things that would arouse suspicion, but for the Imperial Residence, he did it without hesitation. Isn't it disappointing for you to do this? "
Song Liuying said, "Your Royal Highness, you shouldn't have stripped him of his position as Head Chief."
"Shut up!" King An's face darkened. He scoffed, "You are not allowed to mention Chu Li in front of me anymore!"
The two ladies looked at each other and sighed helplessly. It seemed like the Royal Highness was jealous of Chu Li!
That was true. Chu Li was young but he had exceptional martial arts. Moreover, he was rank one. No matter how they looked at it, he was better than the Royal Highness. No wonder he treated Chu Li so badly. It was because of jealousy.
Men were also very narrow-minded. Even as a prince, he was no exception.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about him." Xue Ningyu smiled, "Your Royal Highness, when will you recover from your injury?"
"I'll recover very soon." King An said faintly.
"Without Your Royal Highness, our Imperial Residence will be without a leader. It will really be a mess." Song Liuying shook her head, "Your Royal Highness, you should take care of your body and get well soon!"
"Mm, I'm fine." King An revealed a smile.
At this moment, the sound of an argument came from outside. Zheng Lide's deep reprimanding voice was heard.
"What's going on?" King An frowned and scoffed, "Let Zheng Lide in!"
Zheng Lide quickly strode into the study room. When he got close, he lightened his footsteps and closed fist saluted.
"Who's making a racket outside?" King An stared at him coldly.
He was very dissatisfied with this Commander. He was actually persuaded by Chu Li to leave the Imperial Residence. Such a weak-willed person would not be able to handle such a great responsibility!
"Your Royal Highness, it's just a small argument. It's already been settled." Zheng Lide quickly said.
King An said faintly, "Speak!"
"… Your Royal Highness, there were two Protectors who were speaking up for the Head Chief." Zheng Lide said carefully.
"Heh, they're quite loyal!" King An sneered and sneered, "Which two?"
"Yin Wuqiu and Deng Qi." Zheng Lide said helplessly, "They said that the Head Chief had made a great contribution, but Your Royal Highness treated him like this. It's a little unfair. I scolded them a little and left!"
"Yin Wuqiu and Deng Qi …" King An said faintly, "Since they like the Head Chief so much, then transfer them to Princess Siao's side."
"… Yes." Zheng Lide nodded, "But Your Royal Highness, the Protectors on both sides take turns."
"Then ask them to leave the Imperial Residence!" King An said.
It was a critical period. People's hearts were wavering. They needed to use a thunderous method to intimidate everyone. Otherwise, if he were to fall unconscious again, the Imperial Residence would be in chaos.
"Your Royal Highness!" Zheng Lide was shocked.
King An coldly stared at him, "Why? Are you pleading for them?"
Zheng Lide quickly shook his head, "Your Royal Highness, we're already short on manpower. If we ask them to leave, we'll really be stretched thin!"
"I think they like the Head Chief more!" King An sneered, "If that's the case, there's no point in staying in the Imperial Residence. I'll grant them their wish!"
Zheng Lide quickly said, "Your Royal Highness, the Head Chief saved their lives. If they don't say anything at this time, they'll be too inhumane!"
"Oh — —?" King An said faintly, "Saved their lives?"
"Their internal organs were shattered by Chen Kong's palm. If it weren't for the Spirit Blessing Pill from the Head Chief, they wouldn't have survived." Zheng Lide said.
"Hmph, they sure know how to buy people's hearts!" King An sneered.
Zheng Lide quickly said, "You saved their lives, they can't just say nothing. They're still loyal to Your Royal Highness. They're willing to go through fire and water for Your Royal Highness!"
He secretly scoffed. Whether it was buying people's hearts or winning people's hearts, no matter what, they still took out the Spirit Blessing Pill, a real life-saving item.
