Gu Chaoyan realized that he had some important things to tell her, so she looked at Sword One.
She asked Sword One to guard them outside, fearing that someone was going to eavesdrop.
Sword One nodded with a serious expression on her face, as she took a walk about outside the room.
Zhou Huaijin got Gu Chaoyan into the room.
He relaxed slightly as he asked Gu Chaoyan to sit down. Then he turned to her. “If I want to get the throne, would you…”
Zhou Huaijin did not know what to say next. He just felt quite anxious.
It wasn’t a very ordinary thing to get the throne.
If ordinary people tried to get properties and lost, then what they lost was the properties, but it was different when it came to the imperial families… if they lost, they might die.
Well, Zhou Huaijin would never allow Chaoyan to run into such accidents, but if that was what he wanted to do, there would definitely be some unpredictable things. And he would like to hear what Chaoyan thought.
Gu Chaoyan had a very calm expression on her face.
“Sounds good.” Gu Chaoyan answered calmly.
Zhou Huaijin had prepared a lot of speeches, but now he was lost in words.
She said yes?
Gu Chaoyan patted Zhou Huaijin’s shoulders and said, “Which one of the former King’s sons are still alive?”
Zhou Huaijin shook his head.
“Would the heir be able to be a good King for the world?”
Zhou Huaijin shook his head.
“Then you are right in making this decision,” Gu Chaoyan said seriously.
“Chaoyan…” Zhou Huaijin took hold of her hands tightly.
“Alright, let’s leave the topic alone, as long as you have a plan.” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile, “But let’s make a plan about how to leave the capital, seeing that the King has approved of our trip!”
As this topic was raised, Zhou Huaijin felt very good as well.
It was very chaotic in the capital, so it was a good choice to be away from here, when various things happened nowadays.
Their ultimate destination was the Feather Mulberry Land where they were going to deal with the restaurants with Prince Muyi as well as the shameless Imperial Master, but they could definitely have some fun on the way there.
Chaoyan had never been outside the city, so she was going to enjoy sightseeing along the way.
“Mr. Zhao and mother are both there already, but the South might be too far away for us. I thought about traveling through Bingzhou, which is familiar to the Sixth Brother. Then we will see what he has for us when we arrive there.” Zhou Huaijin said.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She did not have much to say when the plan was made.
She was just curious about the relationship between Zhou Huaijin and Zhou Huaiyu. No wonder Lord Yu paid special attention to her when she was at Saint College.
Thanks to Zhou Huaijin… obviously.
“Lord Yu has been traveling since he was little. Why are you two hitting it off?” Gu Chaoyan asked casually.
“Thanks to my mother! Sixth Brother’s mother passed away when he was little, and my mother took care of him, so he bears that kindness in mind and treats me and mother well,” Zhou Huaijin said with a smile.
Only then did Gu Chaoyan understand the whole thing.
That explained everything.
***
In the court.
Zhou Huailing walked out of the Qianqing Palace and headed towards Honored Princess Jing’s palace in a low mood.
He failed to get the title of Queen for his mother, so he had no idea what he should tell her.
