“I won’t allow my Xunyang to marry him!” The Queen bellowed.
The King was not angry at the sight of the Queen who was almost collapsing. Instead, he looked slightly pleased.
Jiang Shuang… just look at yourself. However, he showed no sign of a smile.
With his eyes upon the Queen, who behaved as if she were a low-class b*tch, he shook his head. “You are in a bad mood now, so I won’t speak with you now. Calm down and when you are through, I will talk with you about Xunyang’s marriage. If I think that is a right choice, then it is a right choice! If you don’t like it, we can get Xunyang to meet him first. We can talk about it if she is not satisfied with him.”
Instead of looking at the Queen one more time, he left directly.
When the king was gone, Susu and the servants walked in.
Susu had thought that the King’s visit would have pleased the Queen, who had been feeling very distressed this entire time and who barely wore any smile. So she hopped in cheerfully, then she spotted the Queen who was completely pale.
Susu knew that something was wrong. “What happened?”
The Queen just could not help but shed the tears.
“Aunt Nan!” Susu shouted.
She was too young to deal with the current situation. She was so startled and leaned to Aunt Nan directly.
Aunt Nan was just walking in with a plate of pastry.
Hearing Susu’s anxious tone, she dropped all of her things on the floor, but instead of picking the pastries up, she rushed into the inner chamber.
The moment she walked into the inner chamber, she noted the anxious-looking Susu as well as the pale-looking Queen.
“Queen!” Aunt Nan shouted. Aunt Nan felt her heart hurting as she looked at this pale-looking Queen.
She had taken care of her when she was still an unmarried lady. She treated her as her own child. The deceased General had only one daughter. When she moved into the court, the General had been against this decision, but her Miss still did it for the King’s sake. During the past few years, her Miss was feeling very lonely yet the King had been showing care every now and then.
However, in recent years, the King had changed completely. He seemed to have developed a dislike towards the Queen who got angry every time he came to visit her at the Weiyang Palace.
She almost forgot since when that happened-maybe from the time the Phoenix Girl appeared.
Something else happened today.
Aunt Nan was about to take a step forward, when the Queen stopped crying and said tiredly as her face turned pale. “Aunt Nan, go and fetch Lord Huai and ask him to come to my place as soon as possible.”
Aunt Nan knew that something must have happened. So she nodded and patted Susu on the shoulders. “Take care of her.”
Then she hurried off.
Susu felt very concerned for her Queen. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, “Don’t cry.”
The Queen stopped crying. She must have startled this little maid.
Susu did not grow up in the court. She was innocent and kind. She kept her because she needed someone cheerful next to her to make her feel slightly relaxed. She did not want to bother Susu with what happened. So she forced a smile. “It is fine, Lord Huai can solve it. Let me take a small break, and please fetch me some food from the kitchen. I am starving.”

When Zhou Huaijin got the news, he hurried in.
