The King Knows His Way Chapter 7

It had been raining continuously in the south of the Yangtze River. The sky finally cleared up today. Ye Jin had just dried the herbs and had no time to rest and drink some tea when he saw the manager of the charity hall in the city jogging towards him, as if something urgent had happened.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jin stood up and asked.

"Doctor Ye, please go and take a look." The manager had a headache and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "There's a fierce fight going on in the charity hall, and we can't stop it."

Old people can fight? Ye Jin was puzzled at first, but after asking in detail, he found out that Bai Laicai had been unhappy for some reason these days, causing trouble for others everywhere and even peeing in the cafeteria. The other old people were so angry that they united to beat him up.

...

Ye Jin felt a headache.

After an incense stick of time, Bai Laicai sat on a chair and cried, with bruises all over his head.

Ye Jin helped him treat his wounds, looked at the embarrassed boss outside the door, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Forget it, you can live with me from now on."

Bai Laicai immediately smiled.

The manager felt relieved and quickly sent a few young men to help Ye Jin clean his guest room and add new bedding.

Because of the wind and rain, the herbs that were previously placed in the yard to dry were already mostly wet and were blown everywhere. Ye Jin quickly swept the yard and went back to the house to rest without eating dinner. Bai Laicai had a good appetite. He not only cooked noodles for himself, but also fried a large bowl of bacon.

When Ye Jin got up early the next morning, the table was filled with freshly picked herbs, even red flowers growing on the cliff.

Bai Laicai walked in, holding a few buns in his hand.

"Where did this come from?" Ye Jin asked.

Bai Laicai looked confused: "Ah?"

...

Ye Jin looked at him for a moment, then took the dustpan and threw the herbs into it.

Bai Laicai: ...

Ye Jin turned around and went back to the bedroom.

Bai Laicai touched his chin. He looked gentle and fair, but he was actually quite angry.

Knowing that this old man might have a complicated background, Ye Jin asked himself that he had never made any enemies in the martial arts world, and no one would come to seek revenge on him, so he was too lazy to ask more questions, but just continued to collect herbs and dry grass every day. Bai Laicai squatted beside him and watched the strange things, and said casually: "Today I went to the street and heard people say that the emperor might come to ask for it."

Ye Jin's men paused: "Come if you want to, do you really want to kneel down to greet me?"

Bai Laicai took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and started eating them.

Ye Jin continued to sort the herbs with a small sieve, as if she didn't take the topic to heart.

Liam ascended the throne at the age of 18. Even with the support of the Shen family, in the eyes of the Liu family, he was just a fledgling kid who had won over a larger martial arts sect. Naturally, they would not take him seriously. Victor even planted many spies in the palace. Even what dishes were cooked in the imperial kitchen today would be sent back to the Liu family as soon as possible. But for this sudden southern tour, no one had heard of it in advance.

"What does father think about this?" Henry tested cautiously.

"What are you looking at?" Victor still closed his eyes and played with a walnut in his hand.

Henry pointedly said, "The palace is empty now."

"Don't be rash and impulsive." Victor said, "The Liu family is extremely powerful. You should think twice before doing anything."

"Of course I know, but I'm afraid this overwhelming power won't last for a few years." Henry said, "Even my father himself said that the one sitting in the Golden Throne Hall now does things differently from the late emperor. If my father doesn't do something, I'm afraid that my brother's fate will be the same as the Liu family's in the future."

"Then what do you want to do?" Victor asked back.

Henry hesitated and dared not speak.

Victor shook his head and closed his eyes again: "Go out."

Henry sighed deeply in his heart, and then got up and went out. Feeling angry, he simply went out to have fun. The sedan bearer knew that he liked to listen to music recently, so he didn't ask any questions and carried the sedan directly to Ranyue Tower.

Riley: ...

You really dare to come.

"Who would dare to call you in this state?" Logan sat on the Eight Immortals Chair and drank tea.

Riley gritted her teeth and said, "Otherwise you can do it yourself." He was tall and strong, so everyone would probably want him.

Logan reminded: "Bodhi Heart Sutra."

"Hmph!" Riley snorted coldly and walked out of the guest room holding up her skirt.

Henry was walking up the stairs.

Riley took out a handkerchief and smiled brightly.

"Go, go, go." The attendant threw him a piece of silver with a look of disdain, "You dare to come out when you are so skinny, don't disturb my young master's interest."

Logan was leaning against the wall in the house and laughing.

Riley’s eyes widened.

"Xiaohong..." Henry couldn't wait and pushed open a door to find his old lover.

Riley kicked the door open and sat on the chair angrily: "Can I kill him?"

Logan finally stopped laughing: "After the job is done, you can kill me at will."

"So what should we do now?" Riley asked. You can see that it's not that I don't want to help, but that I don't have the money to help.

Logan called Gu Yunchuan.

In another room, Henry hadn't even finished listening to a song when someone knocked on the door. He was furious at first, but when he opened the door, he saw that it was Gu Yunchuan, the owner of Ranyue Tower, so he quickly put on a smile and said, "How come Boss Gu is so free and came here today?"

Gu Yunchuan brought Riley to him.

Henry: ...

Riley: ...

"Since Xiaoyue came to my Ranyue Tower, she has said that she has great admiration for Young Master Liu and can't forget him. We are all very moved to hear that." Gu Yunchuan said calmly, "Now that Young Master Liu is here, please let Xiaoyue accompany him for a while. This will help her fulfill her wish and save her from crying every night."

Looking at the fat, pockmarked man in front of her, Riley resisted the urge to take off her shoes and slap him in the face, and said, "Yeah."

Henry looked him up and down. Although he was thin, his facial features were pretty and his mouth was nice. In addition, Gu Yunchuan brought him here personally, so he had to give him some face. Not only did he agree generously, he even paid double the money.

Gu Yunchuan closed the door for him considerately, then turned back to Logan's room and said, "It's because Yao'er has a good temper. If it were someone else, they would definitely kick a brother like you out of the house."

"He has a good temper?" Logan laughed, "You seem to have forgotten the Five Poison Ponds in the Southwest Palace."

"Why are you targeting Henry?" Gu Yunchuan asked.

Logan replied: "Because this person's appearance is not what I like."

Gu Yunchuan: ...

Riley can't play the piano or sing, but luckily she has a sweet mouth. For the sake of the Bodhi Heart Sutra, she can grit her teeth and endure some things - but only some things. When Henry was pushing it too far and wanted to get close to her, Riley almost took out a poisonous insect and threw it at his face.

Fortunately, Qin Niang Xiaohong was smart. Seeing that something was wrong, she quickly stepped in with a smile and toasted him with a glass of wine, thus averting the problem.

Logan was drinking tea leisurely in the next room.

More than an hour passed before Riley came back, and it looked like she was going to eat someone.

"How?" Logan asked.

"He wants to marry me as a Concub!ne." Riley poked a hole in the table.

Logan was relieved when she heard this: "If my parents knew about this, they would surely cry with joy."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spider flew towards him.

"I don't know if he is too alert or if he really knows nothing." Riley said, "Anyway, it sounds like the Liu family just wants to celebrate the birthday this time, so they invited a lot of opera troupes. The guests are only high-ranking officials in the court and famous gentry. There is no sign of rebellion."

"Where's Sada?" Logan asked.

Riley said: "I said I wanted to go to the Western Regions to see the world, and he said it was dusty and windy, and there wasn't much to see. I also said I had heard a lot of legends about Shada back home, and he asked me where my hometown was, and he couldn't get back on track for a long time."

Logan shook his head.

"Hey!" Riley was dissatisfied.

"It seems that I lost out." Logan said, "I handed over the Bodhi Heart Sutra for nothing."

"Don't say you want to regret it." Riley put her hands on her H!ps.

"Of course I won't regret it, but now is not the time to teach you." Logan stood up, "You stay here tonight. I have to go to the palace."

After watching him leave, Riley took off her belongings and sat at the table to eat some snacks.

Gu Yunchuan pushed the door open and came in: "Where's Brother Duan?"

"He went to the palace." Riley said casually, "to meet his lover."

Gu Yunchuan laughed: "Why does Yaoer look unhappy?"

"We didn't get any useful information." Riley wanted to poke the table again, "Just say it's a bad idea!" She was almost taken advantage of by the gangsters.

"How could that be?" Gu Yunchuan was surprised. "Brother Duan was saying earlier that this trip to Ranyue Tower was very fruitful and he would treat me to a drink someday."

"Hmm?" Riley was puzzled. A lot of gains? But she clearly didn't ask anything.

Gu Yunchuan patted his head meaningfully. He was indeed young and naive.

On the canal, Liam was sitting in the cabin having dinner, while Eunuch Sixi came back near midnight. Today the ship happened to be docked near Jinguang Temple, and he heard that divination was very effective, so he went to ask for a lot.

"How?" Liam asked.

Grandpa Sixi shook his head repeatedly: "This temple is probably made up, it can't be real, it can't be real."

"Did you calculate that Logan is an emperor star?" Liam said nonchalantly. He had originally only given this eight characters to try to see if his trip would be auspicious or unlucky.

Eunuch Sixi quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not so ridiculous, but I just sent out Prince Duan's birth date and horoscope today, and the monk was so frightened that he even asked who the person on the paper was from. He also said that she was destined to be the queen who is waited for a thousand years, and would go to the palace to be a queen in the future." This caused the people around to come and watch, and they were envious for a long time.

Liam: ...

Liam: ...

Liam: ...

"I just said you can't believe it, you can't believe it." Eunuch Si Xi was still at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Liam gritted his teeth and said, "Someone come!"

"Your Majesty." The Royal Guards came in.

"Send an order back and dig up the plum tree for me." Liam was furious and walked into the cabin with a wave of his sleeves.

The Imperial Guards and Eunuch Sixi looked at each other in bewilderment. It had only been a few days since the planting, and here they come again...
