"That's right!" Gu Yu nodded and looked at Liang approvingly. "You're the cleverest!"
"Centurion Chen is up to no good by recommending Centurion Chu." Liang shook his head. "He's indebted to Centurion Chu, but he views Centurion Chu as his enemy. This is a trap for Centurion Chu!"
"Mmm." Gu Yu said, "I know they don't get along."
"That's why Centurion Chen's words can't be trusted." Liang said, "In my opinion, the Mei Er Courtyard, where Centurion Chu is not around, is indeed not as elite as the Mei Yi Courtyard. We still have to put pressure on the Mei Yi Courtyard for this case. They are still very powerful."
"Alright, tell Chen Donghai to catch the murderer within three days or he'll be held accountable!" Gu Yu said.
? Liang gave a fist salute. "Yes!"
Gu Yu looked up at Yang Zongwen. "Little Yang, what do you have to say?"
"I disagree? I agree with you. " Yang Zongwen shook his head. "Centurion Chen is up to no good by recommending Centurion Chu, but it's also the truth. We all know Centurion Chen. He's a dog and is very protective of his food. If he can solve the case, he'll do everything possible to get his hands on it instead of pushing it away like this. They're not confident and it's useless to force them."
Gu Yu said, "Does that mean that Chu Li is the only one who can solve this case?"
Yang Zongwen nodded. "I know Centurion Chu's ability best. No one can solve this case. Only Centurion Chu has a glimmer of hope. There's no need to waste Centurion Chen's time. It's more important to invite Centurion Chu back!"
"The problem now is that we can't invite Centurion Chu back!" Liang scoffed.
Yang Zongwen said, "I think Centurion Chu can't refuse Commander Gu's visit."
"I'm here?" Gu Yu scoffed and shook his head. "How dare he!"
Yang Zongwen quickly said, "Commander Gu, this isn't the time to talk about face. You might have face in front of Centurion Chu, but you'll lose face in front of the Emperor!"
"I'd rather lose face in front of the Emperor than lose face in front of Chu Li!" Gu Yu said coldly.
Yang Zongwen sighed and shook his head.
? Liang said, "This Centurion Chu is really too much. He's forcing Commander Gu to lower her head!"
Yang Zongwen sighed and said, "Centurion Chu is proud and arrogant. There's nothing we can do about it. He's in closed-door training right now. What can we do to him?"
"Hmph!" Gu Yu sneered. "I'll personally meet the Emperor and ask him to take charge of this case. Let's see if he'll obey the order!"
? Liang hurriedly said, "Isn't this a big deal?"
"I'm not afraid of blowing things up. I don't believe I can't suppress him!" Gu Yu scoffed. "Since you said that Chen Donghai can't solve this case, then don't let him. I'm going to the palace now!"
With that, he turned around and strode away.
? Liang glanced at Yang Zongwen.
Yang Zongwen shook his head helplessly.
Now that things had developed to this point, it was out of his control. It was beyond his imagination.
He did not expect Gu Yu to be so capricious. He did not care that the Emperor would look down on him. Even a prince would not dare to be so careless. The Emperor was busy every day, so how could he have the time to care about such a small matter?
If he begged the Emperor like this, the Emperor would certainly look down on him. He could not suppress a subordinate and was incompetent. However, it would also let the Emperor know that the Centurion was unruly. It was not a good thing. It was a lose-lose situation.
Gu Yu acted quickly. The Imperial House did things swiftly and decisively.
Two hours later, two Imperial House Protectors dressed in black arrived outside the Imperial Residence of King An and shouted, "The Emperor has issued an order. Chief Chu Li of King An's Imperial Residence, please receive the order!"
His voice was like a bell that resounded throughout the entire Imperial Residence. Everyone could hear it clearly.
The gates of King An's Imperial Residence opened quickly. More than ten gorgeously dressed maids came out first. Several Scribes quickly laid out a white carpet.
"The Princess is here!" One of the Scribes shouted.
Siao Shi was dressed in white, revealing her beautiful face. She calmly walked out of the Imperial Residence with a graceful bearing.
Xue Ningyu and Song Liuying followed behind her. They were dignified and beautiful.
The three women stepped on the white carpet and stood at the bottom of the stairs of the Imperial Residence. They curtsied to the two Imperial House Protectors and stood there quietly.
Siao Shi's beautiful face looked like it was carved out of white jade. It was crystal clear and warm, radiating brilliance. Xue Ningyu and Song Liuying were graceful and elegant.
"Where is Chu Li?" One of the Imperial House Protectors shouted.
He was a burly middle-aged man. His face was solemn. When he saw that Chu Li did not appear, he frowned and said, "Is he going to defy the order?"
"Sir, Chief Chu is not in the Imperial Residence. He can't receive the order," Siao Shi said lightly.
"He's not in the Imperial Residence?" The other Imperial House Protector said, "Princess Siao, you can't lie in front of the order. It's a crime that will result in the annihilation of your entire family!"
He was a skinny old man. He wore a black robe that had been washed so many times that it had turned white. He looked like he was living a poor life.
However, the Imperial House Protectors never had to worry about money. It could only be that he was a simple person.
Siao Shi said, "If he's not here, then he's not here. What's there to lie about? Moreover, it's an honor to have the order. If he's here, how can we miss it?"
"He's really not here?" The old Imperial House Protector asked.
Xiao Shi furrowed her brows and looked at him impatiently. "Are you guys done yet? How about this, you guys send a team over and surround the Imperial Residence. Search every corner. If you find him, then capture him!"
"Hehe, Princess Siao, of course we won't do that." The old Imperial House Protector laughed.
The middle-aged Imperial House Protector said, "Princess Siao, are you giving us a hard time?"
"So what if I'm giving you a hard time!" Siao Shi said angrily, "So what if I'm giving you a hard time? Censure? Sincerity? Si Yi Hui Zhong? Si Yi Hang? Hui Zhong? Hui Zhong?
"Alright, we'll read it. It's the same if the Princess passes it on." The old Imperial House Protector smiled.
He was old and had a mild temper. He knew Siao Shi's temper and nature very well. She was not afraid of anything and was not inferior to men. More importantly, she had a strong foundation. As a lady of the Public House, no matter how much trouble she caused, the Emperor would not blame her.
Siao Shi said angrily, "I can't even see him. How can I pass it on?"
"Is Chief Chu not returning to the Imperial Residence?"
"He went out to look for a place to isolate himself. He said he wanted to stay away from the mundane affairs." Siao Shi said, "It's to avoid the trivial matters of the Imperial Residence. How can he let us find him?"
"Mm." The two of them hesitated.
The middle-aged Imperial House Protector's face was pale. He had never seen someone so arrogant. She did not give them any face and even rejected them impatiently. It was despicable. But there was nothing he could do about it!
The old Imperial House Protector smiled. "No matter what, since we're here, we can't just go back without reading it. Let's do it first."
"Whatever you want." Siao Shi said impatiently, "Hurry up and do it."
"Alright." The old Imperial House Protector opened the bright yellow Imperial Edict in his hand and said loudly, "The edict is to order the Secret Guardians Hall's Centurion Chu Li to immediately investigate the case of the Feng Family's annihilation. He is to apprehend the murderer within ten days without delay!"
