Chapter 968: Beaten (Six More)

PS: The update is complete.

Xiao Shi waved her jade hand and said: "I dare not take it. I don't know when he will come back within ten days. I should take it back and let the emperor decide."

"Princess Xiao, is this wrong?" the old Forbidden Palace guard said in a deep voice.

Xiao Shibai glanced at him: "Then I will follow the imperial decree? I don't know where Chu Li is yet!"

"Alas..." The old guard of the Forbidden Palace shook his head helplessly: "There will be no good results if you fight against the emperor!"

Xiao Shi lowered her jade face, and said coldly: "You mean that Chu Li is in the mansion, deliberately avoiding the imperial edict, doesn't it?"

"Well..., of course not." The old Forbidden Palace guard shook his head and said: "He is not so rebellious!"

"Since you know that treason is immoral, you still dare to say that!" Xiao Shi sneered with a tight jade face, "What is your intention?!"

"Sister Xiao, forget it." Song Liuying said softly, "This guard just made a slip of the tongue."

"That's right, what Princess Song said is absolutely true." The old Forbidden Palace guard nodded hastily.

Xiao Shibai glanced at Song Liuying and snorted: "Sister Song, you are a good old man. He made a slip of the tongue? I think his intentions are sinister. When I return to the Forbidden Palace, I will definitely follow the emperor to slander... I want to go into the palace in person and ask Ask the emperor what he wants to do!"

The face of the old Forbidden Palace guard changed slightly, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Why does Concubine Xiao make such a fuss, my words are kind."

"Good intentions?" Xiao Shi said coldly, "You really dare to say that, don't you feel ashamed?"

The old Forbidden Palace guard was in a panic, and said with a helpless smile: "This old man really has no malicious intentions, Princess Xiao is not to be blamed!"

The middle-aged guard of the Forbidden Palace felt very aggrieved, wishing to curse, such a beautiful woman was so aggressive, it was really uncomfortable to watch.

Xiao Shi said: "Forget it, forgive you once, and next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Yes." The old Forbidden Palace guard nodded helplessly.

He hurriedly cupped his fists to say goodbye, holding the imperial decree in his hand.

The two left Prince An's Mansion and walked along the Central Avenue to the Forbidden Palace.

Turning around and seeing Xiao Shi and the others enter the mansion, the middle-aged guards of the Forbidden Palace couldn't help snorting: "Old Lu, it's necessary to let this Princess Xiao be so domineering, it's unheard of!"

"Ah..., this is the ancestor, you can't offend me." The guard of the old Forbidden Palace shook his head helplessly.

"He's just a little concubine, so what if he's the lady of the Duke's Mansion!" The middle-aged Forbidden Palace guard snorted unconvinced.

The old Forbidden Palace guard glanced at him, and said helplessly: "Xiao Ji, you may not be clear, the relationship between Princess Xiao and the queen is very good, and the queen is very satisfied with her. If there is any request, she will answer it. Once Princess Xiao Going into the palace and speaking ill of me to the queen, if the queen's pillow blows, the emperor might transfer me out of the forbidden palace, tell me, are you an ancestor who can't be offended!"

"She has such a good relationship with the queen?"

"It was the queen's marriage at the beginning, and asked An Wang to marry her." The guard of the old forbidden palace said.

"Even if the queen made a kiss, there's no need to love her so much, right?" the middle-aged Forbidden Palace guard asked in confusion.

The old Forbidden Palace guard sighed: "This Concubine Xiao is also a heroine. In order to support the Duke's Mansion, she took the initiative to marry Prince An. Otherwise, she could be free in the Duke's Mansion without leaving. The Duke’s Mansion came to Shendu to marry a man twenty years older than me!"

"This way..." The middle-aged guard of the Forbidden Palace nodded slowly, his face paled, it was really not easy to do this, and it was worthy of admiration.

"The emperor respects her character and loves her well. In the eyes of the emperor, no one is as good as her." The old palace guard shook his head and said: "We can't do it, let alone they are a family, we are outsiders!"

——

Gu Qi returned to the Secret Guard Mansion with a gloomy face.

When they came to the hall, Xuan Liang and Yang Zongwen were both there.

Seeing him coming in, the two got up to greet him.

Xuan Liang said: "Commander Gu, has the emperor really decreed?"

"Hmph!" Gu Qi sneered and said, "This Chu Li is really arrogant, he doesn't even give the emperor face!"

"Don't obey the order?" Yang Zongwen was surprised: "No way? Commander Chu can't be so unwise!"

It's okay to fight against Gu Qi, but to confront the emperor is to seek death, and if the emperor hates it, there must be no way out!

"He didn't resist the decree, but it's about the same." Gu Qi sneered and said, "He actually avoids seeing and refuses to accept the imperial decree. The emperor doesn't have a good face. He will definitely find an opportunity to deal with him!"

"Commander Gu, is it possible that Centurion Chu is really not here?" Xu Liang frowned: "In my opinion, Centurion Chu is still very safe and will not do such a thing!"

"That's right." Gu Qi smiled.

Seeing him like this, Yang Zongwen and Xiu Liang immediately understood his plan.

The key is not whether or not Centurion Chu is around, but the emperor's impression of Centurion Chu will be broken immediately. He must be angry in his heart and will look for opportunities to deal with Centurion Chu.

This method is indeed vicious, directly using the emperor to deal with Chief Chu.

Thinking of this, both of them felt a little terrified.

No matter how powerful a person is, they are as insignificant and insignificant in front of the emperor. If they offend the emperor, there is no way out. This move is too cruel!

"Commander Gu, in this way, it is impossible to solve this case." Xiu Liang said.

Gu Qi sneered and said, "I don't believe it. Without Chu Li, our Secret Guard Mansion would not be able to solve a single case!"

Xuan Liang smiled wryly: "Of course it would be fine in other cases, but there are too few clues in this case, so I'm afraid it won't be solved. In the past, such cases have become headless cases, and eventually they will be settled."

"Let Chen Donghai investigate!" Gu Qi said coldly: "He is limited to catch the murderer within three days!"

"...Yes." The two agreed helplessly.

Knowing that Gu Qi is determined to fight for this, it depends on whether Chen Donghai has this luck, if he really wants to solve this case, it will definitely require a generous gift.

——

When the imperial decree was read out, Chu Li was indeed not in Prince An's Mansion, but in Dafeng City.

He returned to the house not far from Huiyaotang, and said to Xiaojie: "Let Kou Qiong come and see me."

"Yes..." Xiaojie replied, a little hesitant.

Chu Li frowned and looked at her: "What's going on?"

Xiaojie whispered: "Master and the others are injured."

"Huh—?" Chu Li glanced away, and under Da Yuan Jingzhi's observation, he saw the three of Kou Qiong lying in the small pavilion in the back garden.

He disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of the three in the back garden.

Kou Qiong, Lu Shu, Feng Wuji and the three of them were pale. They were each lying on a low couch, basking in the bright sun softly, and the back garden was extremely quiet.

They soon discovered that the sunlight was blocked, and they opened it to see Chu Li.

"My lord..." The three smiled wryly.

Chu Li snorted, "Beating?"

Kou Qiong was full of embarrassment: "Young master, we messed up the matter. We failed to beat people, but were beaten instead!"

"What did that kid do?" Chu Li asked coldly.

Kou Qiong nodded: "I didn't expect this kid to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. He thought he was a sheep, but he suddenly turned into a wolf and cleaned us up. Fortunately, the son has a good face, and he dare not kill him."

"Is he that strong?" Chu Li frowned.

Kou Qiong said: "He seems to be waiting for us to do it, and he used the secret technique first, hitting us too late to deal with it, and he solved us with a few moves!"

"He's not waiting for you, he's waiting for me!" Chu Li sneered.
