Chapter 718 – Honored Princess Jing Is Here

Gu Chaoyan was slightly surprised. As far as she knew, the King had always hated the Jiang Family and held a grudge against the Queen and had always been making use of the Queen. Why did he suddenly feel concerned about the Queen?

The Queen was so seriously sick because of what he had done, so he should have been happy about that. Why was he suddenly so concerned about her?

Gu Chaoyan just could not understand.

She did not even have time to ask the King what he wanted her to do, because the King said as if he were mumbling to himself, “You are also a woman, and the future Princess Consort, someone the Queen trusts.

“You should visit the Weiyang Palace and check up on her, then you should also have a heart-to-heart conversation with her.

“Tell her to think some things through rather than being so narrow-minded. She should take Lord Huai into consideration. We should all live in peace.

“I have been holding the grudge against her because of General Jiang, and she is also someone from the Jiang Family so she should suffer for them too, but I have released my dissatisfaction, so I will drop the past grudge. I don’t care any more, and she should not either.

“I am the King, and she is the Queen, and our child is Lord Huai. That is something that should not be changed. Only when she thinks it through will she be able to become the real Queen and will Lord Huai have a better future.

“As for Xunyang, it is my fault, but Xunyang has to make some sacrifices for the country. She is the princess!”

When the King was done with his speech he felt slightly relieved and let out a sigh of relief.

He was feeling so terrible inwardly. He was feeling terrible because of this matter.

After the banquet he went to the Weiyang Palace believing that he was helping Jiang Shuang out, but instead of taking the favor, Jiang Shuang was still holding the grudge inside her heart.

Being sick was just an excuse, which was totally known to him. When Jiang Shuang got sick in the past, she still attended the banquet!

He just could not speak with Jiang Shuang about this, and the Empress Dowager as well as Honored Princess Jing could not do it either.

He believed that Chaoyan was the most suitable person. She would listen to the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai! That was why he asked her to see him here in the court.

The King felt slightly better after speaking with her about this.

He looked at Gu Chaoyan. “You should be aware of honor and shame as the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai. Only when the Queen does well, will all of you do well.”

“Alright, go to Weiyang Palace, and I will ask the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace to keep you company,” the King said, feeling much more relaxed.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Then he said a few words to the eunuch and allowed them to leave.

The King let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Gu Chaoyan’s retreating figure.

Hopefully days like this would pass soon.

He did not care what happened to the Jiang Family, but he expected everything to return to normal.

He would not adore Jiang Shuang as he did before, but he would still regard her as the Queen, which would be the best result.

Gu Chaoyan had come to the Weiyang Palace led by the eunuch.

The eunuch did not enter, as the rules required, while Gu Chaoyan went into the inner chamber.

The Queen smiled at the sight of Gu Chaoyan, looking very pleased.

“Queen,” Gu Chaoyan sat down by the bedside.

She was about to say something, when a voice arose outside. “Honored Princess Jing is here!”
