King An looked at Xu Ning who was at the corner.
Xu Ning shook his head lightly.
King An secretly sighed a breath of relief and regained his composure.
He was also worried that his most trusted man was bribed to betray him. If so, he would really be left with nobody that could work for him.
In such a huge imperial residence, he felt sorrowful for himself just at the thought of not having anyone that he could employ to feel reassured.
It was all because of Chu Li and his mischief as he was good at winning over popular support and befogging the minds of the people. Almost all the maids, Scribes, Protectors in the entire imperial residence, even his Princess and his daughters were siding with Chu Li!
On the other hand, he was opposed by the masses and deserted by his followers, the prestigious reputation that he earned through many years of hard work vanished in just a day.
