“There’s nothing I can do sir. His majesty has been inside the whole time and refuses to come out. I already notified him but he didn’t respond!” The notifying person said in a flustered voice.

“What is he doing, hurry up and open the door, I will go inside and see him!” That person shouted. He thought that the person in front of him was afraid to open the door.

“Sir, you might not know, but this door can only be opened from the inside once closed. His majesty refuses to open the door and there’s nothing we can do!”

In reality, the person was panicking precisely because the king wouldn’t open the door or even respond.

“King Gaofei, what are you doing? Right now we have very important things we need to do, everybody is outside waiting for you!” If the door couldn’t be opened then he could only shout loudly.

“It’s no use sir, shouting is no use. This room is soundproofed, only by pressing the doorbell can the person inside be notified if something is happening, but his majesty has cut off all contact from us. He doesn’t want to talk to us!” The subordinate explained.

“…” The official wrinkled his eyebrows, “All this time he is inside, but you don’t even know what he is doing?”

“That….” The subordinate stuttered, it seemed he couldn’t find a convenient answer.

“What is it, hurry up and say it, right now I don’t have the time to deal with you!” That higher-up seriously said with a strong sense of criticism.

I can’t deal with that abnormal young master Ye, can I not deal with you, my subordinate either?

“This……” The subordinate hesitated, he found it hard to say.

“Hurry up and say it!” The official shouted.

“I don’t know how to best put this, it’s like this: Two days ago, His Majesty brought back a person and has remained inside ever since. He ordered that he not be disturbed under any circumstances and they have remained inside ever since. He hasn’t even come out to eat!” The subordinate started to narrate everything that had happened.

“They’ve been inside ever since? Aren’t you afraid something happened and that person has already escaped?” The official continued his interrogation.

“No, there’s only one entrance and his Majesty has countermeasures inside, he won’t be taken advantage of by others.” The subordinate explained, “This isn’t the first time his Majesty has done this, in the past he’s stayed inside for seven days and nights before.”

Oh, so this wasn’t the first time, no wonder they’re not worried. If not for important matters, they probably wouldn’t have paid attention to what the king was doing either.

Only, what was the king doing inside?

“What is your king doing inside? This isn’t the first time, doesn’t that mean you should know what he’s doing!” That official wrinkled his eyebrows.

Before this, his subordinates still hadn’t explained the crux of the issue, which was what the king was doing with that person inside. To have caused the king to ignore important matters and the future of the country!

“That…” The subordinate stammered out, “The king…. the king and he are gambling...”

“oh, gambling…. What?! They’re gambling? For the sake of gambling he stopped dealing with important affairs?” The official was shocked and cried out, but he quickly calmed down.

This was because in the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance, everybody had heard that the king Gaofei was a gambler. Moreover, he was addicted to gambling, but he was also very skilled at gambling so not many people dared to gamble with him.

However, although it was known he was a gambler, they didn’t expect that he would even ignore this matter for the sake of gambling. He would even ignore the rise or fall of the kingdom and lock himself in his room to gamble at this crucial moment.
