Lu Yurong and the others urged their horses to trot at a moderate pace.
The bright and beautiful sunlight shone warmly on the body, but the soldiers on both sides of the road emitted a cold light, making people feel inexplicably solemn.
"Cousin sister, is that Chu Li really that powerful?" Leng Ying asked curiously.
Lu Yurong rolled her eyes. "He even dared to hit Leng Tao. What do you think?"
"You're quite bold." Leng Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "Everyone knows Ninth Uncle's temper. No one dares to provoke him, but Chu Li actually dared to slap Brother Tao. He really has guts!"
"He is quite bold." Princess Lu chuckled and said, "This young man is quite interesting."
"He's just relying on his rank to be so unscrupulous!" Lu Yurong said snappily, "If he was a ninth rank, do you think he would still have the guts to fight Leng Tao?"
"For him to be able to rise to the first rank, he is indeed a legendary figure." Leng Ying said with a smile, "I would like to see what he looks like. He is so powerful!"
"His looks are ordinary. I can't tell what's so great about him." Lu Yurong shook her head lightly and said regretfully, "… Now that Chen Kong that old man is out, Leng Tao will have to retreat."
"King Cheng won't let it go." Consort Lu said, "He slapped Leng Tao, and also Prince Cheng's face. With his temper, he will definitely seek revenge from Chu Li. I'm afraid that Chu Li has something up his sleeves and is not afraid of Prince Cheng."
"The two Imperial Residences have fallen out anyway. Whether or not Leng Tao is beaten up, Prince Cheng will still find trouble with the Imperial Residence of Prince An. They can't avoid it." Lu Yu Rong shook her head and said, "Chu Li's calculations are very precise. He knows how to take advantage of others. Since they're enemies, it doesn't matter whether he offends them or not. With this slap, he established his authority. Let's see which disciple of the Imperial Residence dares to be presumptuous in front of him."
"That's true." Princess Lu nodded, "This little guy's scheming is really deep, not inferior to you, Yurong."
Lu Yu Rong scoffed, "You have to be careful when talking to him!"
Princess Lu chuckled, "I'm not that good!"
"Auntie, you'll know in the future!" Lu Yurong shook her head and said, "I'm not exaggerating at all. You must be careful of this guy, uncle-in-law must also be careful of him!"
"Don't worry, he's from the Imperial Residence of King An, he has nothing to do with us." Consort Lu smiled.
Lu Yurong scoffed, "That might not be the case, Prince An is not someone who will settle down!"
"He's jumping? Princess Lu shook her head and said, "Not just based on my previous contribution."
Lu Yurong shook her head, "Prince Cheng is really messing around. Which of the officials in the court are fools? How can they not see it? Sooner or later, we'll be exposed! "
"King Cheng is surrounded by martial arts masters. He doesn't have many strategists." Princess Lu smiled, "Moreover, with his personality, he will do whatever he wants and will not listen to anyone else's advice. I think Chen Kong has already tried to persuade him, but he did not listen. But there are benefits to messing around. Everyone will be tolerant and let him do whatever he wants."
"Prince Cheng's move is ruthless enough," Lu Yurong smiled and said, "He admitted that he was fooling around, but it also weakened Prince An's contribution!"
After that incident, Prince Cheng confessed that he caught those children and wanted to sell a favor to the people. It was all a joke and a farce from the beginning.
The chancellors were furious at the time, but when they thought about it later, their children were all fed good food and drank well. All of them had grown fat and would eventually return safely. Hence, King An's rescue was not that important anymore. Everyone was no longer as grateful towards King An's rescue.
Those who were secretly determined to repay him, their thoughts faded.
"I think it was Chen Kong's idea." Consort Lu shook her head and smiled, "Prince Cheng is quite clever. This move is indeed vicious!"
The two of them talked and discussed the grudges between Prince An and Prince Cheng. Leng Ying was confused and quickly changed the topic, "Cousin sister, can you beat Chu Li?"
"Of course!" Lu Yurong smiled.
"Then do you want to beat him up?" Leng Ying asked.
"Depends on my mood." Lu Yurong smiled and became more and more flirtatious, "If he makes me unhappy, I'll teach him a lesson. If he doesn't, I'll let him go this time!"
Leng Ying pursed her lips and smiled.
"What are you laughing at, you little girl!" Lu Yurong glared at her, "What's so funny!"
Leng Ying quickly said, "I'm happy for cousin sister!"
She couldn't tell her cousin sister to stop bragging. If she really did that, would Chu Li dare to go against her? He would have been well-behaved long ago!
Lu Yurong had the ability to see through people's hearts. She saw through Leng Ying's thoughts and smiled, "Little girl, wait for me to teach Chu Li a lesson!"
"Alright, I'll wait and see!" Leng Ying smiled.
"Let's hurry up." Consort Lu smiled.
The three women galloped on their horses. A group of maids and Protectors followed closely behind. The rumbling of the horses was loud.

After Chu Li and the others galloped for a while, they slowed down. They were worried that Siao Shi's body could not take it.
"Head Chief, you beat up Leng Tao. You'll anger Ninth Uncle." Leng Qiu was a little worried, "It feels good, but it'll be troublesome."
She was the happiest watching. She wished that she was the one who did it. But when she thought of Prince Cheng's craziness, she was a little worried.
Chu Li smiled, "Whether I hit Leng Tao or not, Prince Cheng still wants to teach me a lesson. There's no difference."
"Prince Cheng might not have been so impatient before. Now he must be eager to kill you." Siao Shi smiled faintly, "But this slap was really satisfying. He should be taught a lesson like this!"
Chu Li smiled, "Next time we meet, I'll give him another one!"
He slapped Leng Tao. First, it was because Leng Tao was rude to Siao Shi. Second, it was because he slapped Leng Qiu.
As a man, he hit a delicate woman. There was nothing much to say. He just had to return the favor. That was already considered a light punishment.
Song Liuying said, "But Leng Tao really deserves a beating."
"He's stubborn. It's useless no matter how hard he hits." Xue Ningyu shook her head, "Prince Cheng also hit him many times. The more he hits him, the more stubborn he becomes!"
Siao Shi said, "Will Consort Jing come this time?"
"Probably." Xue Ningyu smiled, "Consort Lu especially likes to join in on the fun."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "What's the connection between Consort Lu and the Ren Public House? Could it be the Lady of the High Duke's Public House? "
King Jing's succession was very popular. But if he married the Lady of the High Duke's Public House, it would not be so popular.
"Consort Lu and the Ren Public House are from the same family but not from the same branch. She's the daughter of Assistant Minister Lu." Xue Ningyu said, "I heard that she doesn't have a good relationship with the Ren Public House. They had a falling out."
"What about Lu Yu Rong?" Chu Li asked, "What's the connection between Lu Yu Rong and Consort Lu?"
He had been looking into this matter. He always felt that Lu Yu Rong's shadow was in the Fairy's Capital.
Song Liuying said, "Not many people know about this. Lu Yu Rong and Consort Jing are distant relatives. Not many people know that Lu Yu Rong lived in Consort Lu's house for a few years when she was young. The Ren Public House and Assistant Minister Lu are estranged but Lu Yu Rong and Consort Lu are very close."
"I see!" Chu Li suddenly realized.
