1442 Gu Ruxue’s Result 1
The King did not even give Zhou Huaijin the chance to come up with any excuse. He did not even conceal his intention in front of Zhou Huaijin. He did not care about what Zhou Huaijin thought, since no matter what he said, Zhou Huaijin had to obey his order. After all, Zhou Huaijin had nothing.
Zhou Huaijin had no expression, just like before. He turned to Gu Chaoyan.
The King would not be able to do anything to him. He was capable enough to bring him down. If Chaoyan did not want to obey the King’s order, he would not allow her to be forced to stay.
Gu Chaoyan nodded slightly, telling Zhou Huaijin that he did not need to be worried.
The Saint Divine Land was already rotten from the root, but Gu Chaoyan would not expose this to the public. She needed to keep fights from happening if the border was to be protected against external enemies.
Anyway, she was the Phoenix Girl. The King and Zhou Huailing would not be able to do anything to her.
She was very curious what they were up to.
With Gu Chaoyan’s approval, Zhou Huaijin answered briefly. “Okay.”
Then he turned around and left the imperial tombs with the rest of the attendees.
Seeing Zhou Huaijin turning around, the King let out a sigh of relief. It was good that this son was willing to cooperate. He did not like this son, but he could spare his life for Jiang Shuang’s sake. However, if he refused to obey his rules, he would have to have him killed. So it was good that he obeyed him after all.
Gu Chaoyan was standing at the door to enchantment and looking at the mass below them, together with the King.
They were leaving the tombs. So were the Gu Family.
Gu Zhenkang failed to bring Gu Chaoyan back, but the King had her in the court, which was the same result. He had been worried about how it should proceed, but seeing the Crown Prince’s look, he stopped worrying. He decided to go back home first and see what they would do later.
Gu Zhenkang was in a relatively good mood.
Mrs. Gu, however, was thinking differently. Gu Chaoyan the bi*ch was the Phoenix Girl, not her daughter Ruxue!
How could that have happened? That was impossible!
Mrs. Gu had just about left when she fainted. The maid next to her supported her on the back. “Mrs. Gu, are you alright?”
Gu Zhenkang had just walked a few meters away when he heard the noise. He frowned and turned around, seeing Mrs. Gu’s behavior and got really annoyed. They were at the tombs, and she was passing out in front of everyone?
Mrs. Gu was still mumbling, as she mumbled agitatedly, “Ruxue has to be the Phoenix Girl. Birds were all flying for her on her Adulthood Ceremony day!”
“Shut up!” Gu Zhenkang shouted impatiently.
The Phoenix Girl had already opened the door to enchantment, so saying this would not work. They might even hurt the Gu Family’s reputation. He needed to tell Mrs. Gu to watch out. She was born to a small officer’s family, after all. She knew nothing!
Gu Zhenkang threw a glance at the maids, telling them to drag her away.
The maid had to obey.
Zhou Huailing approached them.
Mrs. Gu became motivated seeing him drawing near. “Crown Prince, you also believe that Ruxue is the Phoenix Girl, right? You saw what happened on her Adulthood Ceremony day, didn’t you?”
