If she could punish her at the banquet this time, it would be really wonderful.

She had not expected that the Chu Family would choose to stand opposite to the Yao Family under such a situation. Standing against the Yao Family was the same as standing against the Crown Prince. Ms. Yao already started to make her own plan as she hurried back into the court.

After Lord Ling became the Crown Prince, it became much easier for the Yao Family to enter the court. They did not need any authority token, nor did they need a messenger to pa.s.s on their arrival. That saved them a lot of time.

However, the Yao Family knew how to restrict themselves.

The King was still on the throne, so no matter how much special honor they received, they would not just enter the court constantly to annoy the King.

!!

However, Ms. Yao did not care any more. She hurried directly to Huarong Palace.

There were many things for Honored Princess Jing to deal with right now, like the affairs with the Crown Prince, the Chu Family and all. So she had just gotten all the affairs for the Crown Prince and her aunties to deal with in the court, and she was feeling really free right now, as she drank tea in Ronghua Palace.

Seeing Ms. Yao coming in, she looked quite calm.

It was about the Chu Family.

“How did it go?” Honored Princess Jing asked calmly. She could almost predict what the answer was.

“Honored Princess Jing, the Chu Family turned down our banquet.” Ms. Yao said as she glanced at Honored Princess Jing, looking scared.

The Yao Family had messed up the whole thing.

If Honored Princess Jing was not in a good mood she would probably get blamed.

Ms. Yao was quite scared. She did not dare to stand straight right in front of Honored Princess Jing.

Honored Princess Jing’s face changed, but that only lasted for a moment.

“The Chu Family are taking the opposite side of ours.” Honored Princess Jing rubbed the teacup she had with her fingernails. A squeaking sound arose. “Since the Chu Family is countering us, we should not waste our time with the Chu Family. The Chu Family have been flouris.h.i.+ng in the capital, and it is time for them to fall.”

Honored Princess Jin looked at Ms. Yao. “I got it, and you can go home now.”

Ms. Yao nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

Cold sweat arose from her body as she walked out of Huarong Palace.

After she walked out of Huarong Palace, Ms. Yao smiled and believed that the Chu Family would fall soon. That was good.

She laughed.

At Xinlin Mansion.

When Zhou Huaijin learned of the news from Sword Two, he dropped whatever he was doing and hurried back. He asked his hidden guard to fetch Mr. Zhao in the south.

He rushed to Gu Chaoyan’s home directly.

Sword One and Qing were guarding Gu Chaoyan, but they made s.p.a.ce for Zhou Huaijin when they saw him coming back.

Zhou Huaijin said quietly, “Chaoyan.”

“…”

“Chaoyan.”

“…”

“Chaoyan.”

He bent down and kissed quietly on Gu Chaoyan’s forehead. He could feel the heat on her forehead. He was panicking, but he could not show it.

Everyone from Xinlin Mansion was putting their hopes on him. Xinlin Mansion would panic more if he did.

He could not bring a doctor here.

Chaoyan had no pulse, so any other doctor would put her in danger.
