Chapter 547: The Trap 1

The Queen and the Eighth Son disapproved of the marriage arrangement, and he knew these two people well – they cared about their loved ones deeply. So if he did not try to compromise and insisted that Gu Yunhe should marry the Princess, then his son might do something extreme.

After all, only the Phoenix Girl had been found, not the Destiny Monk. Only the Destiny Monk would know what the Phoenix Girl was supposed to do.

Before that happened, he should not do anything extreme.

Although General Jiang was gone and Madame Jiang was the only Elderly person from the Jiang Family, that did not mean that they had no old supporters in the family at all.

He stopped showing his emotions, but asked politely, “What do you think? Xunyang is becoming an adult next year and we need to have the marriage arrangement done as soon as possible. She can’t possibly just live under your wings. Just let her make the decision herself.”

Zhou Huaijin looked at the King.

So his father was trying to make a compromise.

“So if Xunyang is not willing to accept the marriage, then we can drop the whole thing?” Zhou Huaijin asked.

“Of course.” The King answered, as he was thinking about something else at the same time.

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

The King was right – Xunyang had grown up and marriage was something she had to consider sooner or later. His mother respected his choice and allowed him to get engaged with Chaoyan. The same went for Xunyang.

As long as Xunyang was given the opportunity to make the choice, he would not interfere with it. He was not doing this for the King’s sake, but for Xunyang who could make a choice.

So he nodded. “If that is the case… leave Xunyang to make the choice.”

The King smiled with satisfaction. He did not like spending any more time with Zhou Huaijin, so he said, “Then you can pass on the message to your mother. I have been busy these days, and I don’t have time to care about this tiny matter.”

Zhou Huaijin threw a look at him.

So in the King’s eyes now, it was a tiny matter that the Queen was sad and Xunyang was confronted with a choice. That was all because of the Phoenix Girl.

The King did not even want to pretend that he cared any more?

Zhou Huaijin turned around and left, heading towards the Weiyang Palace.

After he left, the King’s expression sank and he said to the eunuch next to him. “Get Lord Ling to the court. I need to have a few words with him.”

“Okay.l,” the eunuch said and hurried off.

The King waited for half an hour before his son arrived.

Zhou Huailing hurried in looking anxious. He adjusted his looks and even forgot to greet his father when he asked directly, “Father, what are you asking me for in such a hurry? I have just been to the refugees’ place.”

Zhou Huailing was about to continue on about his careful work, when the King lost his patience and waved his hands. “You should ask your subordinates to take care of the refugees, rather than do everything personally! You are the Lord! I am asking you to be here because I want you to bring Gu Yunhe directly into the court.”
