Cried out for several times to protect the King, but the guards outside showed no reaction.
In fact, the King looked at the Queen beside him, surprised that despite his loud shouts, she remained peacefully asleep.
The King understood very well that this was Jiang Liu's doing.
Since shouting was useless, the King got up and, dressed in a loose robe, walked confidently to sit before Jiang Liu.
He picked up the cup of tea Jiang Liu had poured for him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hmm, Master, your tea-making skills are not that great!" After placing the empty teacup down, the King commented.
"Oh? The look of Your Majesty seems unperturbed!" Although initially calling for protection, the King soon conversed calmly, prompting Jiang Liu to give him a look of surprise.
Whether genuinely calm or merely pretending, Jiang Liu thought the King was anything but simple.
"Why panic? If you wanted to kill me, you would have done so in my sleep!" Looking at Jiang Liu, the King replied.
