Chapter 837 Plan
“Zhou Sheng, I remember telling you clearly when you were here that the Queen is under the support of all kinds of medicine. I am not able to cure her. All I can do is to extend her lifespan and reduce her pain.” Zhao Yiqiu showed no expression on his face as if he were narrating an ordinary thing.
However, he was very angry as he looked at the
King.
Zhao Yiqiu said straightforwardly, “Now because of you, she got even sicker. Zhou Sheng, if you don’t have any heart for her, leave her alone, Why bother to torment her?”
“No, no, I have a heart for her. I have promised that as long as she gets better, I will drop all the conflicts from the past and treat her and her son well.” The King insisted.
Zhao Yiqiu shook his head. He had no intention of arguing with the King any more.
He had been talking so much and yet all Zhou Sheng thought about was himself. Jiang Shuang was so sick already and yet he subconsciously defended himself. He was not reflecting on himself, nor was he concerned about Jiang Shuang. Zhou Sheng was a man with no heart.
Zhao Yiqiu had already understood that.
“Treat her well, you have no more chances left. I hope you will remember what you have said – to treat Lord Huai well. I hope you do it,” Zhao Yiqiu said and turned around. He did not say anything more, nor did he spare any more looks at the King.
The King sighed as he looked at Zhao Yiqiu from behind.
He headed towards the yard, feeling totally distracted.
He sat down on the stone chair in the yard, as if he were thinking about something.
Seeing that he was not causing Jiang Shuang any more trouble, Zhao Yiqiu did not care what he was doing at the moment, but he was not going to leave the room.
Aunt Nan brought lunch there, so Zhao Yiqiu ate some food on the simple table outside the room, and then asked Aunt Nan to carry it away so he could stay and guard the room.
The King ate nothing. Zhao Yiqiu did not ask him to eat anything either.
The afternoon passed by, and the King was still seated where he was.
Gu Chaoyan, who had intended to visit the Queen, got a bit surprised seeing the King still there. She sighed the next moment.
Zhao Yiqiu looked at Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan said, “He is indeed suffering.”
“Unfortunately, he only cares about himself in his own world. He is in pain, but he never does anything for the Queen, including now.”

“He is in pain and hopes that the Queen can get better, only because he is used to the Queen’s kindness to him, and he can’t live without her forgiveness and company.”
“He used to be a hypocrite, and that makes him like a human.”
Having said these words, Gu Chaoyan could not help shaking her head.
Zhao Yiqiu smiled as he looked at Gu Chaoyan. “I didn’t know that you could see through everyone.”
Gu Chaoyan shrugged. “Experienced.” Zhao Yiqiu threw a very confused look at Gu Chaoyan.
Only then did Gu Chaoyan realize that she seemed to have said something wrong. She was just a young maid at the moment.
However, Zhao Yiqiu did not continue to ask her any more questions. He was not in a position to ask her anything, but he still asked Gu Chaoyan one last thing. “What is your plan regarding your wedding with Lord Huai?”
