Chu Li turned around and sneered: "Since the prince is so worried about me, it's boring for me to be a general manager. Why not simply remove me from my position so that everyone will not be at a loss what to do!"
"Don't think that I dare not!" King An glared coldlyWwW..lā
Chu Li said: "The prince is the head of the house, so of course he can do whatever he wants. Who can control the prince!... No matter how hard I try or how much risk I take, I, the general manager, will never be trusted by the prince. Then That's great, I don't want to be a general manager, so the prince should take my job and let me stay with the lady in peace and contentment!"
King An sneered: "Do you really think so?"
Chu Li cupped his fists and said calmly: "Please let me do it, Your Majesty!"
"Okay!" King An hummed in a deep voice.
"Prince!" Song Liuying hurriedly interrupted him.
King An glared at her displeased.
Song Liuying said: "My lord, if the chief steward had not made a decisive decision this time, I am afraid that the four maids in our house would have died. No matter what, the chief steward has made great contributions."
Xue Ningyu said: "Your Majesty, Sister Song is right, it's better to be cautious. Once Your Majesty is in a coma, there will be no one to take charge in the palace. We two women are really not good at it! The Chief Manager has the highest position and can be the pillar at critical times!"
The words of Xue Ningyu and Song Liuying made King An even more uneasy.
This man surnamed Chu is very good at winning people's hearts. Both of his princesses have sided with him, but he has become completely alone. It's really scary, and he can't be allowed to cause trouble again. After he recovers from his injury, he must find a way to get rid of this guy!
While I was seriously injured, if I allowed him to jump up and down again, I am afraid that the hearts of the entire palace would be sucked away by him, and I would be isolated. I would never allow such a thing to happen. As for whether things were being done unfairly, I couldn't care so much!
"You don't need to say anything. Chu Li has violated a taboo in the palace by mobilizing guards without authorization. From now on, he will be removed from the position of Chief Manager!" King An said coldly.
"Your Majesty!" the two women exclaimed.
Chu Li smiled and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will go back to the young lady's place as a guard. Farewell!"
After saying that, he turned and left the study with a smile on his lips.
King An seemed to be really dizzy. After being injured, he felt uneasy and extremely emotional. Such stupid things can be done.
Although this approach strengthened his authority, it was also cynical. As a general manager, he had made great achievements, but he was punished by the prince for saving people. People in the palace did not dare to resist, but they would sympathize with him more. Invisibly, Plus reputation.
Reputation requires a sufficient price to be exchanged for a great steward. It can be exchanged for enough reputation!
As for the position of Grand Manager, it is only in name and in reality. His current authority is enough to respond to all calls. In addition, he is secretly sitting on the position of the number one master in the palace, and his prestige is strong enough, so there is no need for this false name.
Xue Ningyu watched Chu Li leave gracefully and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? After the four maids disappeared, Commander Zheng led them because they didn't have your password. It's Chu Li who takes the responsibility for not saving him. You forced them to go out and rescued four maids. But you severely punished the meritorious officials. Who among you will dare to take responsibility again? "
King An waved his hands a little irritably: "If it had been anyone else, I wouldn't have dealt with him this way. Chu Li is different. This person has wild ambitions, so we must guard against him!"
"Where does this wolfish ambition come from!" Xue Ningyu said angrily: "He is loyal. He didn't need to do these things to arouse suspicion, but he did it without hesitation for the sake of the palace. Isn't it chilling for you to do this?"
Song Liuying said: "My lord, you should not remove him from the position of general manager."
"Shut up!" King An lowered his face and snorted: "You are not allowed to leave in front of me in the future!"
The two women looked at each other and sighed helplessly. It seemed that the prince was jealous of Chu Li!
Also, Chu Li is young, but he has unparalleled martial arts, and he is of the first rank. He is better than the prince in every aspect. No wonder he treats Chu Li so badly, but it is because of jealousy.
Men are also very narrow-minded, even as a prince.
"Okay, let's not mention him." Xue Ningyu smiled and said, "My lord, when will your injury recover?"
"It will be fine soon." King An said calmly.
"Without the prince, our house is leaderless and it is really in chaos." Song Liuying shook his head and said: "The prince should take care of himself and get well soon!"
"Well, I'm fine." Wang An showed a smile.
At this moment, there was a quarrel outside and Zheng Lide's low scolding.
"What's going on?" King An frowned and said, "Let Zheng Lide come in!"
Zheng Lide quickly strode to the study room. When he got closer, he stepped lightly and saluted with clasped fists.
"Who is making a noise outside?" King An stared at him coldly.
He was very dissatisfied with this commander. He was actually persuaded by Chu Li to leave the government. Such a weak-minded person was embarrassed to hold such a high position!
"Your Majesty, this little quarrel has been settled." Zheng Lide said hurriedly.
King An said calmly: "Say!"
"... Your Majesty, there are two guards who are complaining on behalf of the General Manager." Zheng Lide said cautiously.
"Hey, it's about loyalty!" King An sneered and mocked: "Which two?"
"Ying Wuqiu and Deng Qi." Zheng Lide said helplessly: "They said that the general manager made such a great contribution, but the prince treated him like this, which is a bit unfair. I scolded them a few times and went back!"
"Ying Wuqiu and Deng Qi..." King An said calmly: "Since they like the chief manager so much, then they can transfer them to Princess Xiao."
"...Yes." Zheng Lide nodded: "But Your Majesty, the guards on both sides of us take turns."
"Then invite them out of the house!" King An said.
In extraordinary times, people's hearts are in a state of flux, and thunderous means are needed to scare everyone. Otherwise, if he falls asleep again, there will be chaos in the house.
"Your Majesty!" Zheng Lide was shocked.
King An glared at him coldly: "What, you want to plead for them?"
Zheng Lide hurriedly shook his head: "Your Majesty, our manpower is already insufficient. If we take them away again, we will really be stretched thin!"
"I think they prefer the general manager!" King An sneered: "In that case, staying in the palace is not interesting, so I will help them!"
Zheng Lide said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the chief steward saved their lives. If they don't say a word at this time, they would be very inhumane!"
"Oh?" King An said calmly: "Saved their lives?"
"Their internal organs were shattered by Chen Kong's palm. If it hadn't been for the Grand Manager's Qiyuan Pill, they wouldn't have survived." Zheng Lide said.
"Hmph, you can win people's hearts!" King An sneered.
Zheng Lide hurriedly said: "They can't help but speak up because of the grace of saving their lives. They are still loyal to the prince and are willing to go through life and death for the prince!"
He snorted secretly, whether it was to win people's hearts or to win them over, no matter what, they took out the Qiyuan Pill, a real life-saving thing.
Fortunately for the prince, relying on his noble status and being a master of heaven and earth, he has no idea of buying people's hearts. He is extremely stingy. (To be continued.)
