Xiao Shi was threatening them!
As a Secret Guardian from the Forbidden Palace, they would only obey the words of the Emperor. They would never listen to the words of anyone else.
But, the Emperor had more people to take care of other than the Secret Guardians, and they included both the Empress and Grand Empress.
If Xiao Shi really went and reported to them, even if the Emperor forgave them, the Deputy Commander would definitely punish them.
Xiao Shi's words were pointing at their weakness.
"Princess Xiao I believe this is just a misunderstanding! This time everyone from the General Resident, Ministry of War and us the Secret Guardians couldn't manage to discover any clue from this case even after a triple investigation. However, Head Chief Chu somehow managed to solve it with just a single look. His actions were really miraculous and surprised everyone… it made us feel shameful, and we know that asking for an outsider's help will further disgrace us. But for the safety of the King An and the Fairy's Capital, we have come to ask for Head Chief Chu's assistance, and we hope the Head Chief can be moved by our sincerity and choose to help us!" Zhao Jianghe said.
Xiao Shi slowly replied, "If that's the case, if he refuses to help, it will be putting the Princes and the Fairy's Capital in danger, and Chu Li would have committed a big sin, am I right?"
Zhao Jianghe felt that Xiao Shi's words were like a blade, and it kept stabbing at his main weaknesses.
"Princess Xiao, I wonder if his cultivation is more important, or the safety of the Princes is more important?! I don't think we need to debate on this?" Sun Yide laughed.
Xiao Shi said, "So if he doesn't come out from his cultivation, that will endanger every Prince?"
"Head Chief can always train his martial arts anytime he wants right? Why must it be now then?!" Sun Yide replied.
"You are right. But why must Chu Li help you?" Xiao Shi asked.
"This is to protect the Princes, and will only take up a short amount of his time. I thought this was something that should be done? Can this bargain work?" Sun Yide felt like he was starting to be on the offense. He felt like he managed to push this girl around, and he was happy with his contribution.
Xiao Shi calmly replied, "Chu Li as the Head Chief, he is always busy working for this house. Even if that's the case, he still pushed aside all his responsibilities during his cultivation. You two just come running in and say it is for the safety of all the Princes and force him to go with you? He is holding the responsibility for the Imperial House, not for the Princes! … Besides, the safety of the Princes is important, but does that mean ours isn't? The Imperial House needs him to stay, previously there was an assassination, and I think you guys must have heard of it right? If Chu Li helps you, those assassinations will happen again, and it will be worse than before. You two have just thought of the Princes, but forgot about the safety of the whole Imperial House."
"Princess Xiao you are over exaggerating." Sun Yide laughed.
"Do you even have a brain? If Chu Li really does agree to help, those from the church will come and take their revenge against the Imperial House, and all this is life-threatening, who can help to stop them? Expecting you useless Guardians? … You guys need to worry about those Princes, I need to take care of the Imperial House!" Xiao Shi continued.
"Princess Xiao, we are just trying to fight those in the church, it won't put the Imperial House in danger." Zhao Jianghe tried to ease the tension.
Xiao Shi replied, "Then are they going to take their revenge on you guys?"
"If they want to, they will not be coming for the Imperial House. Princess Xiao doesn't have to worry," Zhao Jianghe explained.
Xiao Shi laughed. "What are you saying? Why do we the Imperial House need to bear the risk? … Besides, you guys are useless, even those from the church will be too lazy to deal with you guys as you guys pose no threat to them. But Chu Li is different, he is a threat, and they will definitely try to get rid of him. So we the Imperial House are in the way of their vengeance!"
"Princess, we cannot agree with what you have said. If everyone has the same mentality, then no one will be fighting against the church. If everyone is worried about their revenge, then let them just kill everyone!" said Sun Yide.
"Bullshit! You Guardians are the peasants of the Emperor. If you don't solve this who should? Chu Li is our people. Just because of your Guardians' words, then you want to take him, a Rank 1 Officer away from our house? Dream on!" Xiao Shi retaliated.
"Princess Xiao, I am sorry for our incompetence. We don't want to disappoint the Emperor, that's why we need Head Chief Chu's help." Zhao Jianghe gave a fist salute.
"I don't want to argue with you two anymore, just one more thing… as long as I am the Princess here, you two can continue to dream on. Yang Xu, send them off!" Xiao Shi waved her hands.
"Yes, madam!" Yang Xu replied and moved to guide the two of them out.
Sun Yide started laughing.
Everyone was stunned. His laughter was full of disrespect.
Xiao Shi just looked at him calmly.
Sun Yide stopped laughing and said coldly, "I really learned a lesson today. Those in the High Duke's Public House truly are full of pride!"
Xiao Shi remained silent and just waved her hands. This meant that she did not want to waste any more time with them, and left.
Yang Xu said, "Please!"
"What, I am one of the Secret Guardians from the Forbidden Palace, I can't say anything here?" Sun Yide yelled.
Xiao Shi was starting to feel annoyed. "So many things to say. Alright then, say what you want to!"
Sun Yide said, "Last year two Secret Guardians entered the Yi public-house, but one died inside!"
Xiao Shi replied, "So what you are saying is that the Public-House killed him?"
"Killing someone from the Forbidden Palace in your territory, it is hardly possible that you guys do not know about this."
"To allow someone from the church to enter the Fairy's Capital, it is also hard to believe you guys had no idea! Everyone is suspicious that you guys are partners with the church!" Xiao Shi answered.
"Shut up!" Sun Yide stared at her and shouted.
Xiao Shi stared at him.
She turned towards Consort Lu and said, "Sister Lu, those Guardians are really full of pride right? They can treat us Princesses like a common criminal."
Consort Lu looked at Sun Yide with displeasure. "What is wrong with you? You come here with bad intentions, and keep twisting and turning, are you guys here to ask for the help of the Head Chief? I don't think this is an invitation, this is forcing it?!"
Zhao Jianghe immediately replied, "Consort Lu I am sorry for the misunderstanding. Little Sun here is just worried about the safety of the Princes. That is why he is so impatient. We really need the help of the Head Chief."
"If we don't want to offer our help, what can you do? Then you guys get annoyed and bring out something from the past to force us to comply, is that right?" Consort Lu was extremely displeased.
"This… Of course not." Zhao Jianghe was stunned.
Consort Lu continued, "If you two can treat us from the High Duke's Public House this way, then we can't even imagine how unreasonable you guys can be towards those normal officers, is this how the Emperor treats everyone? I think it is time for us to talk about this to the Grand Empress!"
"I wouldn't dare to, we have been impolite, and I hope both Princess Xiao and Consort Lu will forgive us! … If the Head Chief refuses to help us, we will not force him to do so. We shall leave now!" Zhao Jianghe grabbed Sun Yide's arm.
He grabbed Sun Yide and tried to pull him away.
Sun Yide faced Xiao Shi, and he was filled with anger. His thoughts were filled with memories of his younger brother's death, and he could no longer suppress his fury. He yelled, "No one else managed to recognize those from the church, but Chi Li managed to, why? Why does he have such detailed information about those from the church! … Hehe. Yet he refuses to catch them. It is so obvious, he is from the church, and the one before is someone he hated! … Princess Xiao are you sure you want to protect him? Let me tell you, you guys have no power over this issue. This is the Fairy's Capital, not your High Duke's Public House!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
