Chapter 553: The Helpless King

"They don't live here, we don't want to replace them, I feel bad when I think about them. ”

Philip III shook his head, the disgust on his face was not concealed at all, it was obvious that the contradiction between them and their mother and son was already irreconcilable.

"Well, Your Majesty, I'm just asking casually. ”

Cheng Tian raised an eyebrow and chuckled and apologized to Philip III.

"I don't blame you, Cheng, I'm still used to eating here, right?"

Philip III asked Cheng Tian with concern.

"I'm used to it, I've lived here before, so I'm familiar with the food here, and the chefs in the palace are all top-notch, and the food is delicious, I like it very much. ”

Cheng Tian replied with a smile.

"That's good, I just called Linda and told her about you, but I didn't tell her about your attack yesterday, and I don't want her to worry. ”

Philip III nodded, then smiled and said to Cheng Tian.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Cheng Tian solemnly nodded to Philip III in thanks.

"Cheng, your phone was damaged in that attack, right? I have a new phone here. ”

Philip III took out a new mobile phone and handed it to Cheng Tian.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Cheng Tian's mobile phone fell to the ground and broke during yesterday's battle, and it was no longer usable, Cheng Tian just took out the mobile phone card, and the mobile phone was thrown away, and now there is just a lack of a mobile phone, so he took the mobile phone from Philip III, and then thanked him with a smile.

"Cheng, after breakfast, let James take you around and familiarize yourself with the environment. ”

Philip III commanded with a smile again.

"Okay, James told me when I got up in the morning. ”

Cheng Tian smiled and nodded.

"If you have anything you want to buy, you can tell James, and he will arrange for someone to buy it for you, James has been with me for forty years, and I was a playmate with him when I was a child, and our relationship is like a brother, and you also need to treat him as an elder. ”

Philip III solemnly confessed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but there are some things I wish I would like to buy myself. ”

Cheng Tian nodded, and then said with a smile.

"Oh, why buy it yourself?"

Both Philip III and James looked at Cheng Tian in bewilderment, slightly unhappy.

"Because this is what I want to buy, this thing is more professional, and I can only judge whether it is good or bad if I go myself. ”

He took out a silver needle from his waist and explained with a smile.

"What is this? Can you show me?"

Philip III asked curiously.

"Of course, Your Majesty, be careful, this is a silver needle, quite sharp. ”

Cheng Tian smiled and nodded, then turned the silver needle in his hand and handed it to Philip III.

"The Silver Needle is the weapon you used to kill those two members of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment?"

Philip III took the silver needle and looked at it curiously, this silver needle was about the thickness of a hair, and the length was only seven or eight centimeters, because it was very fine and still trembling in his hand.

"Yes, but it's not a weapon, it's a medical device, specially designed to give acupuncture to patients, supplemented by some other means to treat certain diseases of patients. ”

Cheng Tian smiled and nodded.

"Are you going to buy this for my treatment?"

Philip III understood, smiled and asked Cheng Tian.

"Yes. ”

Cheng Tian smiled and nodded.

"Cheng, will you still heal?"

James raised his eyebrows and asked Cheng Tian curiously.

"Yes, I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner in addition to being a mercenary. ”

Cheng Tian smiled and nodded.

"James, you don't have to doubt this, I believe Cheng, he didn't use anything last night, just pressed a few times on my palm and I slept very well last night, it's just amazing!"

Philip III said with a smile.

"Yes, can you cure Your Majesty?"

James asked in surprise.

"I'm sorry, James, but the most I can do is give His Majesty more time, and I can't cure Your Majesty. ”

Cheng Tian shook his head lightly.

"Oh, that's right. ”

James' hopeful eyes dimmed again.

"James, it doesn't have to be this way, being able to give me a little more time is already a gift from God, and I'm already very satisfied. ”

Philip III said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

James put away his sadness, smiled reluctantly and nodded.

After breakfast, he helped Philip III to the study all day long.

"Your Majesty, if you want to leave the palace, you must remember to call me. ”

Cheng Tian went down and solemnly admonished Philip III.

"I know I'll let James let you know if I need to go out. James, take Cheng to familiarize yourself with the palace. ”

Philip III smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Cheng, please come with me. ”

James nodded, then smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Okay. ”

Cheng Tian nodded, followed James out of the king's study, and then familiarized himself with the palace environment under James' leadership.

In fact, when I was in the early mountains, I had basically walked around this place all day, and now I mainly follow James to know the purpose of these buildings and rooms, and who lives here. After James's introduction, Cheng Tian found that there were indeed not many people in the palace.

"James, why are there so few people in the palace, why don't you add some more people to maintain the daily operation of the palace?"

The number of people in the palace was already small enough to maintain only part of the operation, so Cheng Tian asked James with some puzzlement.

"Because of the crown prince and his family, there were still a lot of people in the palace, at least to ensure the normal operation of various departments in the palace, but the crown prince's various behaviors in the palace caused strong dissatisfaction among the palace personnel, and finally His Majesty had to drive him out of the palace and compensate those personnel. ”

James sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly.

Since the reparations were mentioned, it was clear that there were some royal scandals involved, and James was reluctant to mention them.

"Since the crown prince has already dared to go out, why not increase the number of personnel?"

Cheng Tian still doesn't quite understand.

"Because although His Majesty kicked him out, he is still the crown prince of the Tulip Kingdom, and he still has the right to come to the palace, so His Majesty does not want others to be persecuted by him anymore, so he has not been recruiting new palace staff. ”

James explained softly to Cheng Tian, his tone full of helplessness.
