Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Empress Dowager was well aware of her son’s personality and ideas. What she had just said was to convince the King, and the reason why she asked him this question was because she had noticed the King’s changing expression. She believed that he was almost convinced.

The King was not young any more. He was no longer as resolute as before and he started to care about love and relationships, but he was still ambitious. And deep in his heart, ambition was still the most important thing for him.

Therefore, The Empress Dowager believed that as long as she mentioned the Saint Divine Land, the King would definitely be moved.

Hearing what The Empress Dowager asked, the King was no longer as resolute as before. Instead, he looked at the Queen who was lying in bed and said in a meaningful tone, “Queen, what mom says makes sense. There have been many things happening in the past period and you are not doing well either. You might get better after spending some time in the town. And at the moment, it is not so good for you to split hairs. Instead you should think about what you have done and what you are going to do in the town.” The King added, sounding as if he was blaming the Queen for not understanding him.

After saying this, the King saw that the Queen did not respond to him. So he said in an even angrier tone, “Queen, do you understand?”

The Queen let out two coughs.

Gu Chaoyan helped to pass the tea to her, so the Queen drank some and nodded peacefully, “I got it, thank you King and Empress Dowager.”

The Queen responded so fast, that the King simply had no idea what to say. He somehow felt that something was wrong, but he could not figure out what was wrong.

The whole thing looked reasonable, so he pressed down the discomfort inside his heart and said seriously, “Good that you understand. Me and mom will get things ready for you to move to the town, and you will be equally well-treated there.”

The King felt slightly better after saying these words. He thought that the whole thing was reasonable.

The Queen expressed her thanks.

The King frowned at the sight of the Queen’s coughing, and was about to move forward to show some care when the Empress Dowager’s serious voice arose. “King, now that you have said what needs to be said, you should go back to your own place. You care about the Queen, but the Queen is seriously sick, so she can not serve you.”

The King ceased his steps hearing what the Empress Dowager said.

There were rules in the court – sick women were not allowed to serve the King, and he should not even step into their residence. After all, the King should not get infected and he had to stay healthy for the whole world.

Normally, he and the Queen did not stick to the rules, and he had gotten used to that. That was why he had subconsciously wanted to show his care, but what the Empress Dowager said reminded him that he was doing something against the rules. He was very busy with many things at the moment so he should not get sick. So he and the Empress Dowager left the Weiyang Palace together.

At the Weiyang Palace…

Honored Princess Jing was still in the room. She raised her eyebrows and said with a proud smile, “Don’t worry, Queen, just take good care of yourself, I will take good care of the court.”

Then she turned around with a laugh.

Gu Chaoyan turned to the Queen. “Queen…”
