"Head Chief, Protector Ying and Protector Deng are requesting to see you," one of Song Liuying's maids came over and reported.
The ladies looked at him.
Chu Li waved his hand and said, "Let them go, I understand their intentions."
"Yes," the maid went out lightly.
"The two Protectors were trying to avenge you, Head Chief, and were almost chased out of the Imperial Residence by His Royal Highness," Song Liuying sighed, "Not even meeting them, aren't you afraid of hurting their feelings?"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed, "Meeting them won't do them any good, it's better not to."
Song Liuying looked at him deeply and shook her head.
If His Royal Highness could be magnanimous and take Chu Li under him, it would be like adding wings to a tiger, he was a rare genius! … Unfortunately, His Royal Highness was not magnanimous enough, this was something that could not be helped, magnanimity and temperament were mostly innate, it was hard to change, His Royal Highness could not force himself to be magnanimous.
After dinner, Song Liuying went to Prince An's study room.
There was only Xue Ningyu in the study room, Xu Ning was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing her come in, Xue Ningyu yawned and wanted to get up and leave.
Song Liuying pulled her back and repeated Chu Li's words.
Xue Ningyu's eyes widened, she looked at Song Liuying in shock.
Song Liuying shook her head and sighed, "It seems that the Head Chief is not one of us, His Royal Highness will not tolerate him."
"That's a pity." Xue Ningyu frowned, "Such a person cannot be used by himself, His Royal Highness is really … Forget it, we can't care so much, what should we do?"
"It seems that we can't let the Head Chief interfere with the matters of the Imperial Residence in the future." Song Liuying shook her head and said, "The Head Chief said all this because he had this intention, to be detached from worldly affairs and only care about Sister Siao."
"Sigh …, what a pity!" Xue Ningyu sighed, "Initially, I was thinking of finding a chance to persuade the Royal Highness to be more open-minded, but it seems like that won't work now. The Head Chief has saved our lives before, we can't just watch him die like that."
"I hope His Royal Highness will forget about him," Song Liuying said.
If the Head Chief stayed in Tianshu Courtyard and did not do anything. As time passed, His Royal Highness might slowly calm his heart, His Royal Highness would forget about him.
"Princess!" Li Gui's voice came from outside.
"What now?" Xue Ningyu scoffed impatiently.
She listened to Chu Li. As he stared at Li Gui, he noticed that something was amiss.
This fellow was indeed interested in Wang Qiu 'er. She wanted to find an opportunity to chase him away. She didn't want him to wander around in front of her.
Li Gui said, "The guards at the gate were beaten!"
"Didn't we close the doors of the residence?" Xue Ningyu scoffed.
Li Gui said, "Close the mansion gate. However, we still need guards. I didn't expect someone to be so bold as to injure two guards! "
"Is he alright?"
"His legs and arms are broken, and his tendons are torn. Even if he recovers, he probably won't have much of his martial arts left." Li Gui sighed.
He was also a martial artist, so he knew that this kind of injury was the most terrifying.
Xue Ningyu said, "Go get some of our family's Golden Wound Ointment and treat them well!"
"Yes." Li Gui replied: "Wangfei, do we still need to send guards outside?"
Xue Ningyu glanced at Song Liuying.
Song Liuying furrowed her brows and thought about it, shaking her head.
She would send more guards outside. It would probably be the same result. The other party was obviously bullying them. It must be Prince Cheng who did it. How hateful!
However, before His Royal Highness went to bed, he reminded them to bear with it. Moreover, with Chen Kong around, the guards in the residence wouldn't be able to get anything good out there.
Xue Ningyu scoffed, "What guards, are they going to die?"
Li Gui replied carefully, "Yes."
"Hurry up and treat their injuries!" Xue Ningyu said, "We can't invite the imperial physician anymore, just use the Golden Wound Ointment. Use it to your heart's content, don't let them be crippled! "
"Yes." Li Gui replied, and slowly retreated.
Song Liuying sighed, shook her head and said, "Prince Cheng is an unscrupulous person. He won't let it go, and he'll go even further! "
"No matter how much he goes, he can't just barge into the residence, right?" Xue Ningyu clenched her teeth, and said hatefully, "If they really dare to barge into the residence, then we'll teach them a lesson!"
"I'm just afraid that the Protectors in the residence won't be able to handle these people." Song Liuying shook her head.
"Let's see what His Royal Highness says when he wakes up." Xue Ningyu said.
As the two of them were talking, Prince An slowly woke up.
"Your Royal Highness!" The two of them were overjoyed.
Prince An revealed a smile. Seeing that the two princesses were looking at him with such concern, his cold heart was filled with a hint of warmth.
"Your Royal Highness, the Protectors who were guarding the door outside were injured, their limbs were broken, and their tendons were torn." Song Liuying sighed, "I'm afraid that they'll have a lingering illness. Now that we don't know what to do, what should we do?"
Prince An's face darkened.
Xue Ningyu said, "I'm worried that Prince Cheng's next step will be to barge into the residence, that damned fellow!"
"Hmph, he wouldn't dare!" Prince An scoffed coldly.
Xue Ningyu said, "I don't think he wouldn't dare!"
Song Liuying sighed, "I'm afraid that the Protectors in our residence won't be of any use. What if Chen Kong barges into the residence, what should we do?"
Prince An frowned and pondered.
"If it really doesn't work, then let's ask the Imperial House Protectors." Xue Ningyu said, "Your Royal Highness, you shouldn't hide your injuries from Her Majesty."
"I don't want Mother to worry." Prince An shook his head.
Xue Ningyu said, "If Her Majesty knows that you're injured, she'll definitely come to visit. Even Prince Cheng wouldn't dare to act so recklessly!"
Prince An gave her a sidelong glance.
If he were to ask for help from the Imperial House, then in his father's eyes, he would become a weakling. He would be able to solve the predicament in front of him, but the harm to him would be far-reaching and endless.
Song Liuying said, "Your Royal Highness, now that we're out of ideas, I'm afraid that Commander Zheng and the others won't be able to do anything to this Chen Kong, right?"
"… He wouldn't dare to go overboard!" Prince An said in a low voice.
Although Prince Cheng had a bad temper, acted in an extreme manner, and took an unconventional approach, he was still his brother. No matter how much trouble he caused, he couldn't go overboard. At most, he would vent his anger on the Protectors, but he wouldn't hurt the Princess or himself.
"So we'll just let him deal with us unscrupulously?" Song Liuying scoffed.
Xue Ningyu's bright eyes stared at him.
Prince An frowned and did not say a word, he was deep in thought.
Xue Ningyu sighed quietly.
The Royal Highness was indeed too narrow-minded, and could not tolerate anything.
When Chu Li killed the Protectors of the Imperial House, it was not for himself, but for the High Duke's Public House. They were all serving their own masters, so he shouldn't be too harsh on them. However, the Royal Highness held onto this grudge and refused to let it go.
Xue Ningyu could not hold it in anymore, she said, "Your Royal Highness, should we mention this to the Head Chief?"
"You're not allowed to!" Prince An's face was cold, he stared at her indifferently, "You're not allowed to say a word to Chu Li. Remember, when you return, seal the Tianshu Courtyard, you're not allowed to spread any news inside!"
"Your Royal Highness …" Xue Ningyu wanted to persuade him.
Song Liuying quickly said, "Yes, we won't let the Head Chief know! … Your Royal Highness, are you just going to endure it? "
"Endure it!" Prince An scoffed, "Wait until my martial arts recover, then I'll settle the score with them. It's not a big deal to endure it for a while!"
"… Yes." The two ladies nodded helplessly.
Li Gui's voice came from outside again, "Princess, two Scribes were killed."
"Aren't we not allowed to leave the Imperial House?" Xue Ningyu quickly said.
