1673 Compromise
The King’s eyes brightened, as Lord Huai was mentioned. His mind became chaotic, and he seemed really confident. Gu Chaoyan did care about Lord Huai, and she had been asking him about why Lord Huai was grounded. Yes, she wanted to get Lord Huai out.
Even when the Crown Prince tried to marry her, she still insisted on marrying Lord Huai!
Then he was going to satisfy her.
It did not matter if the Crown Prince married the Phoenix Girl, because he was going to live forever and the Crown Prince was no longer needed.
He also needed to think about when to get rid of the Crown Prince.
!!
Then Zhou Huaijin could marry the Phoenix Girl, and it would be fine!
Zhou Huaijin was a useless piece of trash so he would not be able to do anything, even if he married that girl.
The King looked up confidently at Elder Qianji and said smilingly, “I already have a solution for the Golden Rolls. All you need to do is wait for my reply, but you have to help me with Shadow Door.”
Elder Qianji, who had been annoyed, suddenly hesitated upon hearing the King’s confident voice, but the hesitation only lasted for a short while before Elder Qianji decided to trust him. The King rarely smiled confidently like this in front of him, so when he did, he might have got a very good idea.
He nodded and showed a strict expression on his face. “I will deal with the Shadow Door, but if you fail with the Golden Rolls, then things will not be this easy again.”
“Don’t worry, Elder.” The King was becoming very anxious.
Elder Qianji turned around and left.
Elder Qianji had just left when the King called De Fu, saying to him. “De Fu, you aren’t the Phoenix Girl’s enemy, so you should go and bring her here. Tell her that I need to speak with her about Lord Huai. She will come here no matter what.”
Having said that, the King went back to his own business.
De Fu was confused. The Phoenix Girl had just left the court and they had a big row in the main palace, yet the King was asking for her again?
What was going on?
De Fu sighed and went out to pass on the message.
When he arrived at Xinlin Mansion, Gu Chaoyan was drinking tea in the yard, as if thinking about something. Seeing him here, Gu Chaoyan said politely, “Eunuch De Fu, please have some tea.”
“Don’t worry about it, I am not here to drink tea. I am here to pass on the King’s order asking you to visit him in the court again. He wants to talk about Lord Huai,” De Fu said, quite displeased.
About Lord Huai?
Gu Chaoyan sneered.
The King was using whatever method he could for the sake of the Golden Rolls.
If that was the case… she would go and take a look.
“Let’s go,” Gu Chaoyan said directly, before getting up, ready to go into the court again.
De Fu sighed.
Gu Chaoyan walked and looked at DeFu, wanting to speak with him about something, but when she thought of De Fu’s devotion to the King, she realized that maybe what she was going to say would not get through.
So she decided to stay silent instead.
In the court…
