Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 691 - Not You

Chapter 691: Not You

However, she was very familiar with the road leading to the Qianqing Palace.
The Qianqing Palace was the place where the King stayed and the Queen used to bring some food when she was visiting him there, but some time later, the King did not allow her to come with any food.
So the Queen stopped as he told her to. Later, they grew further and further apart from each other and that was just a few months ago.
The Queen did not have to have her arrival announced, she could drop by whenever she wanted to, but things were different now. She had to wait outside the palace before her arrival was passed on to the King.
When the Eunuch went inside to pass on the message, the King heard that the Queen was here.
He knew pretty well what she was here for – she was here for Xunyang. The King would have been willing to meet her if not for what was going on with Xunyang, and now he just did not want to see her any more.
“Just tell her to leave. Tell her that I am too busy to speak with her,” the King said expressionlessly.
The Eunuch nodded, then he went out to pass on the message.
Seeing the Queen waiting in the snow the Eunuch said indifferently, “Queen, just leave. The King is too busy to see you, and he says that he has nothing to talk with you about.”
The Queen’s eyes sank, but she did not move. She continued to stand in the snow.
Aunt Nan was very concerned about her. She swept off the snow that had fallen on the umbrella, then she passed the hand-fireplace to the Queen and said, “Let’s leave, Queen, you have not yet recovered.”
The Queen shook her head. She had been avoiding hearing the answers, but today she had to know the answer. She had to find out what was going on. She would give up when she got the answer.
The Queen refused to leave, so Aunt Nan had to stand next to her, keeping her company.
The Enunch, who was guarding outside the gate, was watching the Queen with a queer smile.
When Aunt Nan again swept away the snowflakes on the umbrella, Honored Princess Jing passed by the Queen. Honored Princess Jing had been promoted in title and had a much bigger scale of people following her around. She had more enunches and maids by her side, and she even had one more Aunt serving her. She was surrounded by a cluster.
The Queen, who had been used to staying low-profile, never had so many people surrounding her when she was out. So the Queen seemed much more bleak compared to the other.
When Honored Princess Jing saw the Queen there, she showed a queer smile on her face too. She used to be the one who was asked to wait outside the court, but today, the tables had turned.
However, when Honored Princess Jing spoke, she said with a look of confusion. “Queen, what are you doing here? It is snowing heavily here, you will get a cold if you stand here.”
The Queen ignored her.
Honored Princess Jing snorted and walked directly into the Qianqing Palace.
The Eunuch showed a flattering look on his face as he saw her in.
The Queen showed no expression on her face.
One quarter later, Honored Princess Jing walked out of the court.
Seeing that the Queen was still standing where she was, she smiled proudly, “Queen, what are you waiting here for? The King said that he doesn’t want to see you, and he won’t.”
“…”
“Do you think your pretentiously pitiful look will move him? Don’t even think about that. The King might spare some mercy for other women in the court, but not you.”
“…”
“You think you are still the same as before? No one is able to help you now, General Jiang is already dead!”
The Queen frowned. She got what Honored Princess Jing was referring to.
“What do you mean?”
