When I woke up early in the morning, Little Lian was already waiting outside the door. She helped me dress and braid my hair. She took good care of me. I was a little humble and said,"Little Lian, let the maids do these things in the future. Your body is weak, so you need to rest more.”Little Lian insisted on doing these things for me. She said,"Being able to do these things for you personally makes me happy. You're busy with big things all day long, so I can't help you. It's also my duty to do some small things for you.”I was touched and gently held her in my arms.

Once I entered the palace, I asked Hai Dafu to teach me martial arts. Hai Dafu taught me five more moves, which were even more complicated. I only learned them all after noon. When it was time for the date, he went to look for Little Xuanzi for a competition.

After more than a month, I spent every day gambling, fighting, and learning martial arts. From time to time, I would go home and flirt with Little Lian. My days were quite happy. Unknowingly, I learned a set of Great Mercy Thousand Leaves Palm. Little Xuanzi was also constantly making new moves. The two of us competed. In the end, because of my small body and weak strength, I lost more and won less. Fortunately, the palm techniques I learned were exquisite and complicated, so I didn't lose too badly. Moreover, my excitement for the competition was also growing. Otherwise, I would have been unable to bear the pain and give up learning. During this period, I often chatted with Little Xuan Zi and got along quite well with him. However, he never revealed his true identity. He was probably afraid that he would lose his only playmate, me, after telling him. I had always wanted to find an opportunity to pick his identity.

The eunuchs at the casino were all killed by me. Each of them owed me three to five hundred taels of silver. The Wen brothers wanted to ask me to cancel their debts, but I didn't give them a chance. I knew in my heart that these two brothers were of no use to me, because I didn't know the exact day Ao Bai went to find Xiao Xuanzi, so I wouldn't get anything from the study. I just let them owe me money and wait for the monthly collection. However, there was a eunuch named Li Dequan who caught my attention. He served Kangxi in the study room. Because the Emperor was there when he was working in the study room, Old Hai never had any ideas about him. Naturally, Master Jin did not mention him in the book.

Li Dequan already owes me 430 taels of silver. After we left, I asked him to stay and said,"Eunuch Li, this brother has a matter that I would like to ask elder brother for help with.”Li Dequan said," What's there to talk about between us brothers? If you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll do my best. It's just that my luck hasn't been good recently. I'll definitely return the money to you in a few days."”Looking at his guilty face, I laughed in my heart. It was better to owe money in ancient times. If this was in my era, I don't know how arrogant this kid would be. "It's not about the silver," I said."If brother can help me settle this matter, the silver I owe will be written off."”Li Dequan was overjoyed and said," Just tell me what it is. I'll do anything for you."”"It's like this," I said."Lord Ao Bai Ao will be going to the study to see the Emperor in the near future. My brother will be serving the Emperor. If you see Lord Ao, can you come and inform me?"”Li Dequan's face turned very ugly as he said,""This, this…I'm afraid it won't be easy.”I quickly said," Brother, don't misunderstand. I have a relative in the capital who wants to find a family background but has no way to do so. You also know the power of Lord Ao now. This relative of mine wants to present the treasure passed down in the family, but there is no one to lead the way. Therefore, the emperor asked me to find an opportunity in the palace to present the treasure to Lord Ao.”Seeing that Li Dequan was still hesitating, I said,"If big brother is unwilling to help, then forget it.”Seeing that his expression immediately relaxed, I continued,"It's just that Eunuch Hai knows about the money that big brother owes.”

Li Dequan's face tensed up again and he said,""What is it? Does he know Eunuch Hai? What should he do? What should he do?”I didn't say anything and just smiled at him. Li Dequan gritted his teeth and said," I'll take responsibility for the big things. But how are you going to explain it to Eunuch Hai?"”I said,"I gave him the silver I won and said that you could return it."”"Thank you so much, brother," Li Dequan said with a smile.”

After arranging Li Dequan, I felt relaxed. In the following days, I gradually gambled less. The main reason was that those eunuchs had no cash, so I couldn't be interested. He spent his mornings practicing martial arts.

After more than ten days, I was having lunch with Hai Dafu when Li Dequan rushed in and called out to me. At the same time, he gave me a look. I thought that he was finally here, so I followed him out. Li Dequan said,"Lord Ao has already arrived and is currently speaking with the Emperor in the study.”I was overjoyed. I took out a fifty-tael ingot from my pocket and handed it to him. I said,"Thank you big brother for your help. This silver is for big brother to drink tea.”Li Dequan took the silver and said happily," Brother, you've really treated me well. If you have anything to tell me in the future, just let me know. The Emperor is talking at the moment, so I don't need to wait on him. I'll go and play with him." Brother, you can do the rest yourself. It's not convenient for me to come forward.”I understood that he was afraid of being implicated and hid away. She ignored him and rushed to the study.

When they arrived at the study, they saw two guards standing far away outside the door. They knew that the Emperor was talking to Oboi, so they did not dare to approach. I've been to this study a few times, but I've only peeked from afar and didn't dare to enter. This time, I'm more confident, so I mustered up my courage and slowly approached. The guards thought it was a messenger eunuch and didn't stop me.

When he reached the door, he heard a voice from inside the room saying loudly,"Suksaha is an assistant minister. He doesn't know how to be loyal to the Lord. Instead, he covered up his words to humiliate the Emperor. He should be executed by a thousand cuts. Otherwise, I will deceive the Emperor in the future.”This must be Ao Bai. This man was known as the number one warrior in Manzhou. He was also an impressive figure. No one knew what he looked like.

Then, he heard Kang Xi's voice." There are people who deceive the monarch and deceive the people above. I think Suksaha is more well-behaved."”Ao Bai said," Your Majesty, I don't understand why you're speaking like this. Suksaha has committed a heinous crime, so why are you protecting him?"”

"I don't know what kind of grudge you have with Suksaha," Kang Xi said."You must kill him to be satisfied."”"I don't have any grudges against him," Ao Bai replied."I'm just doing things fairly and clearing out the traitors for us."”His voice grew louder and louder, almost like a roar."I can't let the Holy Ancestor's hard work fall in the hands of his descendants. Sukesaha must be killed!”At this point, I heard Kang Xi cry out. Thinking that it was time, I immediately strode into the house. I saw Oboi clenching his fists and walking towards Kangxi with a fierce expression. I shouted,"How dare you bow and disrespect your superiors!”He rushed to Kang Xi's side in two steps, faced Oboi, and blocked them with his body.

*******************************************************************

"Oboi," cried Wei Xiaobao,"do you know your sins?”"I don't know," said Ao Bai. "I found more than 1.7 million recommendation votes in your house," said Wei Xiaobao."You'd rather rot in the storeroom than hand them over.”
