Chapter 836 The Real Situation

The King did not sense Zhou Huailing’s changing emotions. He nodded and said straightforwardly without suspecting him. “You are still young and may find many issues difficult to deal with. I have already dispatched De Fu back to the court yesterday and he will be by your side. You can ask him if you need to make some decisions. That will save you some trouble.”

The words had just been spoken when Zhou Huailing’s face changed. He was startled for one moment and then a touch of complicated emotions flashed across his eyes.

His father asked him to supervise the country, but he did not truly trust him. He approved of his suggestion of pa.s.sing on daily messages at first, but then later, he even asked De Fu to supervise him instead. His father would rather trust an eunuch than him?

He had always believed that he was the most ideal candidate for the heir in his father’s heart, but unexpectedly, his father was so protective after all.

If that was the case he was going to make a plan of his own. Zhou Huailing was thinking inwardly, but he still replied with politeness. “Okay.”

The King was too distracted to pay attention to Zhou Huailing. Seeing that he said yes, he believed that his son was going to obey him totally.

That would be enough for him.

He needed an heir and the candidate for the future throne, but he was still young and he was going to spend many more years in the throne. Therefore, what he needed right now was not someone who was capable, but someone who listened.

Judging from the current situation, Ling was definitely the most suitable person for the heir.

He had not misread Honored Princess Jing, nor had he missed the right candidate!

He patted Zhou Huailing’s shoulders and nodded in satisfaction, before going to the Queen.

The moment the King was gone, Zhou Huailing’s face sank instantly.

“Go back to the court.” Zhou Huailing snapped angrily and hurried away with his men.

He had thought that it would be a very delightful thing, and he was just testing him, but the King did not notice any of this. Instead, he returned to the Queen’s room in

silence.

Zhao Yiqiu was already out. He was standing outside the room with no expression on his face, talking with Gu Chaoyan.

The King went forward at the sight of Zhao Yiqiu, knowing that he must have already gotten the result. “How is the Queen?”

He did not hear any sound of coughing, so he felt a bit a.s.sured and decided to check up on her in the room.

Zhao Yiqiu stopped the King directly after hearing what happened from Aunt Nan. He said directly, “She needs a quiet environment, and for you to stop going inside. She has been coughing blood and suffering from a lot of pain, so I knocked her out so that she can feel better. In this way, she can take a break. If you make any noise around her, all the effort we have made will be gone.”

The King found the words stinging. He asked in confusion. “How could it be so serious?”

Normally, Jiang Shuang would be very happy when he was here, and she should get better. How could she become even sicker than before?

Zhao Yiqiu ignored him. He was not going to allow anyone to go in. “Zhao Yiqiu, tell me honestly, what is happening to the Queen?”
