Bab 192: Confrontation

The delicate maid in a colorful dress gently entered the courtyard and called out softly, "Scribe Chu Li, the King wants to see you."

Chu Li calmed his anger before he nodded and smiled. "Thank you for the effort."

He followed the maid out of the courtyard and saw Chief Zhu right as he exited the arch.

Chief Zhu lazily waved his hand. "Follow me."

Chu Li fist saluted but said nothing.

He sighed to himself. The Second Lady was going to marry King An, a cold-hearted person who only cares about the power and the position of an Emperor. It was as if a small rabbit walked itself into the gaping mouth of a large grey wolf.

He forced a smile. For this matter, he could only blame the Second Lady's silliness and her unfortunate fate. Who knew that King An was such a figure even though he had a clean reputation? This was truly an ill-fated marriage.
