"This humble official is incompetent and probably not qualified to assist Your Highness. However, having taken Your Highness's medicine for several days, I felt compelled to come and repay the favor."

"oh?"

"You want to repay me?"

"certainly!"

"I heard that Your Highness is under house arrest by His Majesty and is unable to attend your brother's wedding?"

Li Jue nodded honestly upon hearing this.

Yes, that's true!

"If you can get His Majesty to lift my confinement and allow me to attend my brother's wedding, I'll give you another basket of ginseng!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Rengui quickly refused.

"No, no, no, my body can't take any more tonics. I already had a nosebleed yesterday. If I keep taking tonics, I'll be going to see the King of Hell sooner or later, hahaha!"

"Actually, Your Highness need not worry. Aren't you currently renovating the Eastern Palace?"

"Um?"

"What do you mean by that, Lord Liu?"

"Your Highness only needs to build a shrine in the Eastern Palace to worship your father and mother, and then say that you want to go and pay respects to your parents. I think His Majesty will not refuse!"

"ah?"

"Ahhh... I understand now, this is filial piety, filial piety is as great as the heavens, hahaha!"

"Mr. Liu, please come in. I'd like to treat you to a proper meal today!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Rengui quickly refused.

"Your Highness, I will skip the meal and wait until Your Highness has achieved your wish before we talk..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jue gripped Liu Rengui's hand tightly and then ordered his men to close the door.

"This man must not escape today!"

"Someone, summon Li Yifu, Su Dingfang, Lu Zhaolin, and the others to keep me company. I'm going to have a proper banquet for Lord Liu today!"

Although Liu Rengui was somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to comply under Li Jue's enthusiasm.

"Your Highness, this humble subject is not a strong drinker..."

"No way, we're not leaving until we're drunk tonight!"
