1524 Shadow Door 1
Junyi did not continue.
The Phoenix Girl was a girl, but after spending some time with her, Junyi believed that she would not be stupid enough to not understand what was going on. What was more, Lord Huai and the Gu Family should be kept out of the secret, since it was related to the country.
The Shadow Door?
Gu Chaoyan looked contemplative, smiling.
The King wanted to get the Shadow Door to work for him? How interesting!
They had not realized who the head of the Shadow Door was, had they?
She had not intended to think about this, but since the Shadow Door was involved, she would like to know what they wanted.
She nodded. “Since it is related to the country, we should not be delayed. I am not feeling well, but I am strong enough to go into the court.”
Gu Chaoyan had made up her mind to visit the court.
Junyi let out a sigh of relief.
Zhou Huailing smiled proudly too.
He turned around and decided to accompany Gu Chaoyan into the court.
Gu Zhenkang escorted them out of the mansion.
When they came to the gate, Zhou Huailing asked Gu Chaoyan to go into the wagon to head towards the court, whilst Zhou Huaijin was riding the horse next to Gu Chaoyan’s wagon.
Zhou Huailing’s face sank. He said with displeasure, “We are heading into the court to have some serious discussions with father. What are you doing here?”
Zhou Huailing looked disdainfully at him, and sneered. “You think you can be of help to get the Shadow Door to work for us?”
Zhou Huailing looked imposing.
Zhou Huaijin did not care. He shrugged indifferently. “I won’t be able to.”
“Then stay in your mansion, don’t cause any trouble.” Zhou Huailing knew that Zhou Huaijin would be of no help. So he said that.
Sword One and Fu Bao as well as the others were all looking at Zhou Huailing with a sneer.
Gu Chaoyan blinked at Zhou Huaijin happily, while she was in the wagon.
She knew who the head of the Shadow Door was and she was amused upon hearing what Zhou Huailing said.
Zhou Huaijin smiled brightly at seeing her happy smile.
Gu Chaoyan mouthed. “Wait for me.”
Zhou Huaijin nodded obediently, turning to Zhou Huailing. “Then I will go back to my own mansion.”
Then he left with Fu Bao.
Zhou Huailing felt very good. He ordered that the servants should take good care of Lady Chaoyan before he went into his own wagon.
The whole team headed towards the court.
The imperial banners were opening the way for them.
They were taken directly into the court and as they reached the place before the hall, they got out of the wagon and walked there.
It was a long path before they reached the gate.
The snow had stopped and spring was showing.
Gu Chaoyan had no expression on her face as she walked.
Zhou Huailing constantly turned around to look at Gu Chaoyan.
Zhou Huailing always preferred her over Ruxue. She was beautiful and had a graceful air. More importantly, Gu Chaoyan was a pure jade, compared to Gu Ruxue, but…
He felt that there was one thing that had not been solved.
