Siao Shi was threatening them!
As the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House, they only had eyes for the Emperor. They did not need to listen to or care about what others said.
However, the Emperor did not only have eyes for the Secret Guardians, he also had the Empress and the Empress Dowager.
If Siao Shi really reported this to the Empress and the Empress, even if the Emperor did not punish them, they would still be reprimanded by the Deputy Commander.
Siao Shi's words were aimed straight at their weakness.
"Princess Siao, you misunderstood!" Jianghe said in a low voice, "This time, the General's Residence, the Ministry of War, and us have gone through three layers of investigations and yet we could not find out who the disciple of the Holy Church of Light is. Yet, Head Chief Chu saw through it with one look. Such a godly performance is really admirable … We, the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House, have lost face. Asking for help would be even more shameful. But for the safety of the Imperial Princes, for the safety of the Fairy's Capital, we have no choice but to put down our pride and ask for Head Chief Chu's help. We hope that Head Chief Chu can see our sincerity and help us!"
Siao Shi said lightly, "If that's the case, if Chu Li does not help, he would be ignoring the safety of the Imperial Princes and the safety of the Fairy's Capital. That would be a huge sin, right?"
Jianghe felt that every word she said was like a sharp sword that stabbed at his weakness.
"Princess Siao, I wonder if Head Chief Chu's cultivation or the safety of the Imperial Princes is more important?!" Sun Yide chuckled as he looked at her, "We don't have to talk about this, right?"
Siao Shi said, "If that's the case, if he does not come out, he would be ignoring the safety of the Imperial Princes?"
"Head Steward Xiao, you can practice martial arts at any time." Sun Yide chuckled. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"You are right." Siao Shi nodded, "But why should he help you?"
"For the safety of the Imperial Princes, we are just delaying his time." Sun Yide felt that he had the upper hand and finally suppressed this woman. He was in a good mood and smiled, "Is there a need to bargain? Isn't that what you should do? "
Siao Shi said calmly, "As the Head Chief, he's too busy to attend to the matters of the Imperial Residence. Even so, when his martial arts cultivation is at a critical juncture, he still has to push these matters aside. You said it's for the safety of the Imperial Crown Prince and you're telling him to rush over? He took the salary of the Prince's Mansion, not the Imperial Princes! … Furthermore, the lives of the Imperial Princes are important, but are we not? The Imperial House still needs him to guard the Imperial House. Don't tell me that the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House don't know about the assassination a while ago? If I help you, the assassination will come back again, or even more fiercely. For the safety of the Imperial Princes, you have to abandon the safety of the entire mansion? "
Isn't Xiao Wangfei a bit too serious? Sun Yide said with a grin.
"Do you have a brain?" Siao Shi furrowed her brows, "If Chu Li were to help you, the Holy Church of Light's vengeance will definitely come to the Imperial Residence. They're all people who don't care about their lives, who can stop them? Rely on you useless good-for-nothings? … You have to worry about the safety of the Imperial Princes, I have to worry about the safety of the Imperial Residence! "
"Xiao Wangfei, we're also dealing with the Holy Church of Light, not just the Imperial Residence." Jianghe quickly interrupted to ease the tense atmosphere.
Siao Shi said coldly, "Take revenge on you?"
"If they want to take revenge, they won't just target the Imperial Residence. Don't worry, Xiao Wangfei." Jianghe quickly said.
Siao Shi sneered, "What are you talking about? Why should the Imperial Residence suffer? … Furthermore, the Holy Church of Light won't even bother to do anything to you bunch of useless people. There's no threat anyway. Chu Li is the biggest threat, so of course he must be eliminated. They'll definitely kill the people of the Imperial Residence to take revenge on Chu Li! "
"We can't agree with Xiao Wangfei." Sun Yide sneered, "If everyone thinks that way, then no one would dare to deal with the Holy Church of Light. Everyone is worried about their vengeance, so let's just let them do whatever they want!"
"Nonsense!" Siao Shi said coldly, "You're taking the Emperor's salary, if you don't work hard, who will? Chu Li is taking the Imperial Residence's salary. Just because of some empty words from the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House, you want a rank one like him to disregard the safety of the Imperial Residence and work hard for you? You guys can really dream! "
"Xiao Wangfei," Jianghe closed fist saluted and said, "We're useless. We dare not disappoint the Emperor's grace, so we can only ask Head Chief Chu for help."
"I don't want to waste my breath on you," Siao Shi waved her hand lightly, "I only have one thing to say … As long as I'm still the Xiao Wangfei, don't even think about it. Yang Xu, send them off!"
"Yes, Lady!" Yang Xu responded and walked in front of the two of them, looking at them apologetically.
Sun Yide laughed out loud.
Everyone frowned, his laughter was too presumptuous.
Siao Shi looked at him calmly.
Sun Yide laughed a few times before he stopped and said coldly, "I've learned something. The High Duke's Public House is really powerful!"
Siao Shi didn't reply. She waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to talk nonsense with him and left.
Yang Xu said, "Masters, please leave!"
"What, I'm a Secret Guardian of the Imperial House, can't I even speak?" Sun Yide said loudly.
Siao Shi rubbed her eyebrows and said impatiently, "You talk too much. Alright, if you have something to say, just say it!"
Sun Yide laughed coldly, "Last year, there were two High Officials from the Imperial House who went to the Yi Public House. In the end, one of the High Officials was killed for no reason!"
Siao Shi said, "You mean the High Duke's Public House killed him?"
"It's hard to believe that the High Duke's Public House didn't know about killing an Imperial House High Official in the Public House's territory."
"It's hard to believe that the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House didn't know about a few disciples from the Holy Church of Light in the Fairy's Capital!" Siao Shi said lightly, "It makes people suspect that you're in cahoots with the Holy Church of Light!"
"Shut up!" Sun Yide stared at her and shouted.
Siao Shi frowned and looked at him.
She turned to Consort Lu and said, "Sister Lu, the Secret Guardians of the Imperial House are so powerful? Yelling at our Consort like she's a criminal? "
Consort Lu stared at Sun Yide in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with you? You're so unreasonable and unreasonable. Are you asking for Head Chief Chu's help? I don't think it's an invitation. It's a threat! "
Jianghe quickly said, "Consort Lu, you've misunderstood. I'm just worried about the Princes' safety. That's why I'm so impatient. We do need Head Chief Chu's help."
"He's not willing to help. What are you going to do?" Consort Lu said unhappily, "Then you're going to fall out with him, settle old scores, and threaten him, right?"
"This …" Jianghe said helplessly, "Of course not."
Consort Lu said, "If you treat the people from the Imperial House like this, you can imagine how arrogant you can be towards the ordinary officials. Is this how the Emperor treats his officials? I really need to have a good talk with the Empress Dowager! "
"I dare not," Jianghe closed fist saluted and laughed, "We've been rude. Please forgive us, Consort Siao and Consort Lu! Since Head Chief Chu isn't willing to help, we won't force him. We'll take our leave first! "
He said as he pulled Sun Yide.
