1527 Shadow Door 4
The Crown Prince had been told about the Shadow Door since they had just talked about this in the court. The King intended to get the Shadow Door to work for the Saint Divine Land, so they would definitely be stronger. Although that was the court’s matter, the Phoenix Girl should be involved with the discussion as well.
The King did not think that the Phoenix Girl would be of any help with it, but he intended to let the Crown Prince bring the Phoenix Girl here so that they could hang out with each other and build an emotional connection.
When Gu Chaoyan did not have any extra identity, Lord Huai could marry her if he wanted, but now, Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl, so Lord Huai could not marry her.
Lord Huai was from the Jiang Family. Most people from the Jiang Family were already dead so he did not expect that anything would happen.
Therefore… the Phoenix Girl should marry the Crown Prince, and he could give a noble lady to Lord Huai as compensation.
That was how it was arranged, and was why the Crown Prince was at the Gu Mansion.
However, the Phoenix Girl was in the court again? What on earth happened?
The King just could not figure it out. He threw a look at his son.
The Crown Prince was very embarrassed.
He had no idea how to tell his father about what happened at the Gu Mansion.
He pursed his lips and said straightforwardly, “Father, I have already told Lady Chaoyan about the Shadow Door. What should we do next?”
The King sized up Gu Chaoyan and Junyi behind the Crown Prince.
He finally understood what was going on.
Things have become very annoying now.
He should have made all the ladies from the Gu Family marry the Crown Prince just in case. So that such accidents would not be happening right now.
However, the Phoenix Girl was not as noble as the imperial family.
They could just force her to obey him.
Lord Huai had nothing. He had fewer guards and he had to accept the truth even if he didn’t want to, then he could be promised some benefits.
He could not go through the Phoenix Girl, but he could make Lord Huai do whatever his order was. So that she would have no choice but to pick the Crown Prince.
She was just a girl, after all, she was easy to deal with.
The King stopped thinking about it. He was going to ask Lord Huai to join him tomorrow and they could talk about this.
The King looked at Gu Chaoyan.
He sipped the tea and said, “When the North Qi Land received some extra help, they became stronger than the other countries. The Saint Divine Land can defend ourselves against the land, but the other two can’t. The Shadow Door helped before the two countries fell. I had been aware of the Shadow Door before, but it was too small for me to take it to heart. However, it has become tremendously huge now.”
“…”
“Since the Shadow Door is part of our country, they should step forward and serve us.”
“…”
“But the Shadow Door is very difficult to summon and find. And we can’t find the head of it.”
“…”
“What do you think we should do, Lady Chaoyan?”
