Gu Chaoyan looked up at the King.
The King himself might not have noticed that he sounded furious when he mentioned Zhao Yiqiu. It was a kind of fury that could not be concealed.
The King was indeed angry. He himself had not expected that he had just brought a wolf home!
The Queen did not e to him, nor did she miss him. And even when he went to visit the Weiyang Palace and asked her about her health, the Queen did not even want to speak with him. The Queen was not like this! The King believed that the reason why the Queen was like this was because Zhao Yiqiu had told her something, but right now, he could not just give Zhao Yiqiu any trouble.
He was just in the middle of anger, so he could not help but ask Chaoyan about him.
“Mr. Zhao has stayed in my court these days. He is in my mansion, but I don’t care. I get paid,” Gu Chaoyan said coldly.
The King sneered and dropped the topic of Zhao Yiqiu. The more he talked, the more he would expose himself.
That was something the King was pretty aware of, so he avoided showing anything more.
When talk of Zhao Yiqiu was done, none of the three people in the Qianqing Palace spoke any more.
The King somehow lost his interest. He waved his hands. “You can go home now, I still have petitions to read. e to me when you have time.”
Gu Chaoyan subconsciously looked at Prince Muyi.
Didn’t he have some undone business with Prince Muyi?
However, that was not something Gu Chaoyan was supposed to know. So she got up, greeted him and left.
Gu Chaoyan was leading the way and Prince Muyi was following behind her.
The two were avoiding each other.
Prince Muyi was the Prince of the Feather Mulberry Land, and Gu Chaoyan was the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai. The two of them should not have close contact in the court, thus avoiding each other.
The two were walking outwards.
Young Duke arrived at the Qianqing Palace.
The teacups were not even cleaned up and the King was still seated where he had been. The moment he saw Young Duke, he waved his hands lazily and asked the Eunuch to prepare some new tea.
The Eunuch had just removed the tea, when the King explained. “Lady Chaoyan was here. She just left.”
Young Duke’s face changed. He subconsciously reached out for the Anecdote of Saint Divine. He had the book in his arms every day, hoping that he could return the book to her when they ran into each other. That would drive his lingering feelings away.
However, every time, they just missed each other, every time! Why was this happening to him today again!
So they did not have the chance of meeting each other again?
Young Duke felt very sad inwardly.
The King did not notice that at all. He asked Zheng Chenyi to meet him because he had some business to speak with him about. The King just did not care about his emotions.
The King looked up and said sorrowfully, “It is the end of the year again, and many ministers in court are urging me to get someone to take the Duke’s position.. Well, the position has been vacant for too long… And you are Duke North’s only son and normally, you should have the rank, but you were so seriously injured a while ago and you don’t seem to be able to fight on the battlefield any more, so…”
