Chapter 831 Some Words to Say

“No.” Zhao Yiqiu answered straightforwardly.

He never asked what the King’s real purpose was, and he did not think that it was necessary for the King to take Jiang Shuang back to the court. She would have to go through torment, no matter what she was doing at the moment.

The King was displeased.

He frowned as he said, “She is already able to eat breakfast in the yard, and the town isn’t far from the court, so why is she not able to go on the road? I will get the wagon ready, it’ll be one of the best ones, and when she returns to the court, I will get people to take care of her.”

The more the King spoke about this, the more feasible it sounded for him.

As for Zhao Yiqiu… he could allow him to stay in the court for Jiang Shuang’s sake. He wasn’t that narrow-minded.

The King had been making a plan for all of these, so he wanted to have a full discussion with Zhao Yiqiu.

Zhao Yiqiu, however, already approached him. Zhao Yiqiu never practiced martial arts, but he was tall, so he was looking down at the King.

He said with an extremely cold tone whilst wearing an untouched expression on his face. “Zhou Sheng, are you mental?”

The King was startled when he heard these words.

Zhao Yiqiu was always a cold person who had no emotions and who never said anything extra.

Those were probably the heaviest words Zhao Yiqiu had ever said.

What mistake had he made that he was scolding him for?

“Zhao Yiqiu, why are you so dissatisfied with me?” The King was angry.

“Jiang Shuang is really sick at the moment, and yet you are still being selfis.h.!.+ Jiang Shuang can have a small break in the yard, but that is totally different from traveling all the way back to the court! You will kill her, if you take her to the court at the moment.” Having said this, Zhao Yiqiu left with the medicine.

The King sighed as he looked at Zhao Yiqiu’s retreating figure.

Zhao Yiqiu was by himself and had nothing to consider. That was why he could say words like this, but he was different.

He was the King and he had too much on his shoulders. He was in a helpless state as well.

He did not want Jiang Shuang to travel, but the Empress Dowager was behaving weirdly, so that was the only thing he could do at the moment. When Jiang Shuang was back at the court, he could stay by her side while residing in the court. Zhao Yiqiu just did not understand.

However, he did not get mad. He asked his men to dispatch De Fu back to the court.

With De Fu around, he could feel even more a.s.sured. De Fu was the only person he trusted at the moment.

When he was done with the arrangements, he calmly headed to Jiang Shuang’s room.

There were many military guards outside the room, with many imperial doctors walking in and out. That brought the King to a halt as he said, “What’s happened to the Queen?”

“The Queen is fine. We are just going through our daily routine.” One imperial doctor answered politely.

The King felt a.s.sured.

Good.

When the imperial doctors finished their examination, they all left. The King glanced around and saw Zhou Huaijin, Gu Chaoyan and Zhao Yiqiu, and then said indifferently, “Just leave. Me and Aunt Nan can stay here with her.” Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin exchanged a look before they left with Zhao Yiqiu.

The King knew that it was very important for Aunt Nan to be present, so he did not drive her away and just took the seat next to her. “I have a few words to say to you.”
