311 Stratagem

After a moment, King An said in a deep voice, "The words of Mister Yuan cannot be trusted. However, there is some truth to them."

Xu Ning took one step back and did not say any more.

King An leaned on the spacious desk and smiled coldly with his sunken face. "We can't kill Second Lady Xiao, but that Chu Li fellow cannot be spared!"

Chu Li had ruined his plans one too many times. If he was left alone, then he would continue to rain on King An's parade.

Such a person needed to be removed from Xiao Shi's presence as soon as possible or risk causing them trouble when they enter the Imperial Residence.

Once King An thought of this, he called out, "Meng Zhi."

A low voice was heard from outside the courtyard. "Yes! I'm here."

King An ordered, "Have Yue Jintao kill Chu Li. He is the one coined Duan Lidao, right? What a fitting name, perfect for the one who will end Chu Li."

After he said this, he heard a cough from outside.
