"Enough!" Samiyi had no patience for his nonsense, "Just follow my orders and spare me the verbosity. Go and notify Laka to visit His Majesty the King's study in half an hour."
Puli was about to say something more, but a glare from Samiyi sent him backing down. He nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"
After Puli left, Samiyi said to Tan Rou, "Rou, wait here for a moment. I need to take care of Xite's matter first."
Tan Rou stood up and suggested, "I'll follow you. If you can't out-argue that Duke, I can help you argue. If you want to give that Duke a beating, I'm also willing to do it for you. But you must ensure my safety; I don't wish to be assassinated by nobles in the palace again."
Samiyi was initially angry, but couldn't help laughing after hearing Tan Rou's words, "Rou, I will definitely ensure your safety."
"Tell me your plan. I don't believe you're sending Laka over just to have him argue with the Duke," Tan Rou said.
