Dugu Xiao's words could be said to carry intent, and the listener, the Emperor, paid full attention to them. The strides he made towards the Palace halted.
"Sir Li? Which Sir Li?"
Dugu Xiao couldn't help but smirk slightly. "Of course, it is none other than Imperial Attendant Li Xu!"
"Li Xu? My right-hand man!"
The Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked again, "He also opened a Gambling House?"
Dugu Xiao looked utterly surprised. "Oh! Your Majesty, you didn't know? Didn't the Eldest Princess tell you? This afternoon, the Eldest Princess won over one hundred thousand taels of silver in Li Xu's Gambling House!"
Upon hearing Dugu Xiao's words, the Emperor was completely rooted to the spot.
"Did you just say that there are over a dozen Gambling Houses in this Capital City?"
Dugu Xiao nodded. "Yes, these Gambling Houses are centered around the bustling Vermilion Bird Street. The six largest are located on this street. Two of them have already been visited by you and your daughter."
