As the huge silhouette came to her all of a sudden and blocked the light in front of the Queen, she subconsciously looked up at the King.
This was a look of coldness blended with confusion. There was no other emotion mixed inside.
The King bent down and stared at the Queen’s face. It was not a very striking face, but it was a very comfortable face to look at, just like the peonies, which should be stared at in silence. There was an air of heroic nature between her eyebrows, just like everyone from the Jiang Family, but at the same time, the King hated the heroic air between the Queen’s eyebrows, because it reminded him of General Jiang who displeased him a great deal.
He was an inwardly arrogant man who hated to be threatened, but General Jiang was someone that broke him down.
The King approached the Queen, trying to conquer her.
When the Queen saw the King’s approaching face, she subconsciously turned around, refusing to have any close contact with him.
The King’s expression changed. He was frowning, feeling really furious. He almost got tricked by affection a while ago, how ridiculous he had been.
The King got up and took a few steps backwards, putting a distance between himself and the Queen as he said coldly, “I am not here to ask you for advice. The Empress Dowager and I have already decided to promote Princess Jing. I am here to inform you about that, so that you know the news.
“Also, The Empress Dowager is too old to take care of everything in the court, but the token will not be given back to you since you are not in good health. When Princess Jing gets promoted, she will have the authority token. That is the second thing I would like to inform you about.”
When the words were spoken, the King turned around.
He tried not to look at the Queen’s reaction. “I am done telling you the news. I need to get down to other business, take care.”
Then he started to walk outside, but the Queen behind him uttered no sound at all.
The King felt that something was wrong, so he turned around and took a look at the expressionless Queen who was lying in bed, looking extremely pale.
The King was still feeling furious, but when he saw the Queen in such a state, he still had a sense of sympathy. He sighed, then he added, “You are not doing well, so the authority token will be given to Princess Jing. Mother says that when you recover, the token can be given back to you instead. You don’t need to overthink this matter.”
When the words were spoken the King left, flinging his sleeves.
The King, for some reason, felt quite baffled. It was a very strange feeling.
That was something he had been looking forward to doing since ages ago, but…. When what he had done was actualized, he did not feel happy, or pleased. Instead, he felt rather distressed.
So he did not even visit Princess Jing. Instead, he went directly back to the Qianqing Palace.

Back at the Weiyang Palace
Aunt Nan looked at the Queen concernedly. “What are you supposed to do! You are the Queen, but without a token… our Weiyang Palace will be an isolated place! The King is too cold-hearted!”
“Aunt Nan…” the Queen said.
