leaned against the bed, issuing one order after another to his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, the Fourth Young Master from the Wen Family seems to have arrived at Maofeng Town,” Hu Die remembered something and hurriedly reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wen Si?” Ah Jiu pondered with a frown, “Wen Heng’s son?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, he’s the fourth son of the main branch of the Wen Family, said to have been frail since childhood and fostered at the Hongsheng Buddhist Temple in Chengdu Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just these past two years, he was brought back to the Wen ancestral home,” Yuan Ye supplemented the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Jiu sneered, “If he were truly frail, how could he venture out here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s just an excuse for others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, as soon as Wen Si returned, he participated in the imperial examinations and succeeded in two consecutive exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is now an Imperial Examination Candidate and was even the Top Scorer in the Jingjin Prefecture last year, earning the title Young Master Wen Yu, highly esteemed by local scholars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just unclear why he didn’t continue to pursue the next level of exams and instead chose to travel,” Yuan Ye said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Jiu said, “So the frailty is false, concealing his brilliance is true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Wen Family has hidden him so well, he must be a carefully groomed individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Heng is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, he has a great chance of entering the cabinet,” Yuan Ye said respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Jiu curled his finger and ordered, “Investigate this Wen Si thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bring me the organized information once it’s ready.” He did not like things to be out of his control, whether it was people or affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the medicine took effect, Ah Jiu yawned, showing signs of exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Ye quickly attended to him, helping him lie down again and pulling up a thin blanket for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Hu Die couldn’t resist squeezing in, ignoring the few glaring looks that came his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, that Wufu girl, do we not need to deal with her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Jiu, who had closed his eyes, opened them again and looked at him, “Your gossiping nature seems to have intensified.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Die chuckled sheepishly, “I’m thinking of your safety, my lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you think I can’t handle a single girl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or did she show some flaw that you find dangerous?” Ah Jiu raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, but she definitely was a dangerous girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling their first encounter, he had initially had the upper hand, but without making a sound, the girl had turned the tables, pressing him down and taking the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such agility and skill were not those of an average girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were a completely ruthless man, perhaps she would have left him in that mountain ravine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she was indeed a dangerous girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering the incident of being overpowered, a suspicious red tinge appeared behind Ah Jiu’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glimpsed Hu Die pretending to seek advice earnestly and coughed twice as a cover-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s leave that girl be for now, and quickly carry out the tasks I have assigned you,” said Ah Jiu, and then he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Die muttered a few words to himself as Yuan Ye pushed him out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Yuan Ye, what do you think our lord means?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To me, it seems like he intends to protect that girl,” Hu Die mumbled as he popped a handful of preserved fruits into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Ye stepped back distastefully, “As if you and I could speculate our lord’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he gave that lady a token of trust, he surely has his reasons.” With that, he didn’t expand further, busying himself with Ah Jiu’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few steps, he turned back and said, “Can’t you act more manly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always eating those sweets favored by young ladies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Die, who was smacking his lips, upon hearing this, howled and chased after him, “Who said I’m not manly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at you, skinny as a rail, you’d fall over in a breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Jiu listened to the noisy voices outside the door, opened his eyes and then closed them again, and peacefully fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>",718,"2026-06-05T19:25:17.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff1a6eaac349ac65e7e536fabb471d102c59bd4d5b41cb4ef9b71f0039d67687","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-73","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-71",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
