Fei Wang lightly coughed and hooked up a mysterious smile, "It's actually like this."

  Chu Lian got up and bowed her body, "I was just incautious with my words, I spoke out of turn."

  He leaned back, "No, that would be unfair to my concubine." He then clapped his hands and a guard in green uniform walked in, kneeling on one knee, "Your Highness."

  Wang Dao said, "Xie Yang, go and summon Li Guan Shi to come over, to apologize to the king's concubine." The guard named Xie Yang, neatly received the order and quickly left.

  Chu Lian waited until the sun had set before speaking, "I've thought it over carefully, and I think there may have been some misunderstanding between me and Li. It seems that these things weren't what Li intended either."

  Wang smiled and said, "It's probably a misunderstanding, we'll know when Li An arrives."

  Because it was the king's personal guard who summoned him, Li An quickly arrived at the Blazing Smoke Pavilion, with the slave who had a swollen mouth following closely behind. The two of them walked over and knelt down to pay their respects, "Your humble servant has seen the king, has seen Concubine Chu." After finishing speaking, they were about to rise to their feet.

  "Kneel down and answer!" The two knelt again.

  "Li An, do you know your crime."

  Wang's voice was calm, but Li An secretly thought it was bad. He had brought Li Shan, who had been slapped by Concubine Chu, thinking he would have the upper hand. In the past, unless it was a very important matter, Wang usually let him handle things, and he thought it would be the same this time.

  He had been the steward of the Wang Manor for several years, and he was used to being obeyed. Even the concubines who were favored by the master had to show him respect. The master didn't have a penchant for women, so even if this new one was a side consort, she was still just a figurehead, and wasn't in control, which is why he dared to be so reckless.

  Unexpectedly, he was questioned by the king as soon as he arrived, and it was clear that he had leaned towards Concubine Chu. Thinking of this, he directly knelt down on the ground. Li, who had never encountered such a situation, panicked, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, I don't know what crime I have committed, even if I die, I must die with a clear conscience."

  King Xing has not been managing the affairs of the mansion for several years. Although he knows some things, he turns a blind eye to them. However, Li An's brain is not very good due to being overly pampered, and it's time to teach him a lesson. So, King Xing called Li An over. Despite Li An's foolishness and arrogance, he still manages the affairs of the mansion quite well. He has gotten used to using him and doesn't think of replacing him for now. Thinking of this, he looked at Concubine Chu again, wondering how she would deal with Li An. With great interest, he handed over the power to deal with Li An to Concubine Chu, saying "Let's leave Li An to be handled by Concubine."

  Chu Lian's eyes were as deep as a well, but she had just arrived at the Wang Fu and her foundation was not yet stable. No matter what, Li An still had some connections in the mansion. If she took drastic action, she might stir up more trouble. She wasn't afraid of these minor disturbances, but she really didn't have the leisure to bother with them.

  The most important thing is that King Ling obviously didn't want to remove Li An from his position. Before she could even speak, Li An had already lost his temper and turned to her, repeatedly begging for mercy, and speaking recklessly about how he had been misled by Li Shan's rumors behind his back. Li Shan naturally wouldn't let him off the hook either, saying that it was all Li An's idea, and the two of them began to shift the blame onto each other without regard for others.

  Chu Lian thought that she had overestimated Li An. Thinking of this, she looked at the first king, wanting him to control the situation.

  The man standing beside the King of Feathers, with a sword in his hand, spoke coldly, "Shut up." The man's words were like an order from the King of Feathers, and both of them immediately shut their mouths, not daring to be presumptuous.
