Chapter 698: To the Court

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Into the imperial court?

Zhou Huaijin’s face sank.

He more or less guessed why his father was asking him to visit the court. However, he feared nothing. He nodded and asked Fu Bao to wait outside for a while.

Instead of getting up, he frowned and asked concernedly, “Mr. Zhao, will there be any complications from the drug?”

Zhao Yiqiu shook his head. “No complications.”

He would never ask Jiang Shuang to take any drugs with complications.

Zhou Huaijin took the bottle from Zhao Yiqiu and decided to give the drug to Aunt Nan at the right time.

It was a plan that was approved by everyone.

Zhou Huaijin let out a sigh of relief.

As long as his mother could get through the barriers in her heart, everything else would work out smoothly. And now what mattered most of all was Xunyang’s marriage.

He should also watch out for his father who might set them up secretly.

As for this topic, Zhou Huaijin reminded Gu Chaoyan and Zhao Yiqiu. “Mr. Zhao, please be careful when you are out these days. The King has been holding grudges against the Jiang Family for years and now the Phoenix Girl was found, he doesn’t even want to pretend anymore. I believe that we are going to be confronted with a hard time ahead of us.”

When Zhao Yiqiu heard about the Jiang Family… He looked at Zhou Huaijin with surprise.

Zhou Huaijin sneered. “My father was a very minor Prince years back and he was ambitious yet incapable. So he courted mother so that the Jiang Family could help him, but the Jiang Family has helped a ruthless man! The ruthless man has gotten the throne and yet hates the Jiang Family. He thinks that the Jiang Family are pushing him down.

“He only exposed himself when the Phoenix Girl was found, but actually, he didn’t have to wait until now. Grandfather has already handed over the military power and we have no influence in this aspect at all,” Zhou Huaijin said ironically.

Zhao Yiqiu’s face had changed.

That was the reason? The real reason? So Zhou Sheng had been using Jiang Shuang from the beginning?

He should have tried to get Jiang Shuang instead of believing that Zhou Sheng would treat her well.

Zhao Yiqiu held his fists tightly and forced himself to stay calm. “I got it, Huaijin. Don’t worry, I will stay alert. You were asked to visit the Qianqing Palace right? Go and check it out!”

Zhou Huaijin nodded and got up with Gu Chaoyan.

Zhao Yiqiu did not walk them out, but stayed seated and thought about something.

Too many things had happened today and they all needed time to take them in. So Zhou Huaijin said nothing more.

Before he visited the Qianqing Palace, he accompanied Gu Chaoyan to the room and pinched her face. “I will be fine at the Qianqing Palace, just take a break now. Father has stopped pretending to be grateful, but nothing major will happen right now.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded. She was concerned about him, so she hugged him of her own accord, then he left.

Zhou Huaijin went into the court in a hurry with Fu Bao, and the Eunuch was waiting behind the gate. At the sight of Zhou Huaijin, he guided him into the Qianqing Palace.

It was still snowing outside. White had covered the whole court and Zhou Huaijin felt that winter this year had become much colder.

As he came to the Qianqing Palace, he saw the King in the chair. For one moment, he had no idea who he was.

“Come and sit, Eighth,” the King said loudly.
