Chapter 696: Mr. Zhao

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Queen had a touch of hope in her eyes as Zhou Huaijin asked her about the plan. It was a light of hope!

Actually, Zhao Yiqiu had mentioned the plan after he found out about the situation she was in a while ago, but she did not agree.

She just felt that the affection between her and the King might have faded, but she was, after all, still the Queen, and it had been she who chose to marry him so she had the obligation to stay. Also, she had Huaijin and Xunyang, so she should not do whatever she wanted to do without being concerned about them. However, now she understood why the King treated her badly. And it was even a very ridiculous excuse.

Just because of what her father said to him years before he had been holding a grudge towards her for more than a decade, and he kept toying with her just because he thought that she was not mature enough.

The Queen had no idea what she should say. She truly had no idea why she chose to marry some scumbag like this.

She looked at Zhou Huaijin and felt her heart aching, but it was not the right time to think about any of this.

The Queen said with a serious look on her face. “Huaijin, Mr. Zhao will tell you about the plan.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

When she was done, the Queen let out a sigh of relief. She laid back in the soft chair and felt her forehead, trying to muster up energy before saying, “You have to remember to be careful about everything, and do not trust your father any more. Your father might not dare to do anything to you on the surface, but he will definitely sacrifice you if something happens.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded, bent down to look at his mother worriedly.

Actually, he had been prepared for all of this, so he was not that saddened. Yet he was very worried about his mother who treated his father truthfully, yet since she knew the truth, she might not be able to accept that.

“Mom,” Zhou Huaijin said.

The Queen looked at Zhou Huaijin – she did not have to worry about anything, because her Huaijin had already grown up.

“Alright, I will be fine, I can tell the right from wrong and I can be resolute too.” The Queen said, “Just think about what to do with your sister, I believe that the imperial order will be announced tomorrow at the morning session.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded, then he left.

When Aunt Nan walked Zhou Huaijin out, she gave him an umbrella.

Zhou Huaijin took over the umbrella and said to her, “Please, Aunt Nan, take care of mother, and leave the rest to me.”

As he finished saying this, he left with Susu who had always been unwilling to leave.

After he left the court, Zhou Huaijin asked Susu to stay at the Lord Huai’s Mansion and on the way to Gu Chaoyan’s mansion said to Fu Bao, “Go and find out why the King wants to have a marriage alliance with the North Qi Land?”

Fu Bao nodded. He did not leave until Zhou Huaijin walked into the mansion.

Zhou Huaijin went directly to Gu Chaoyan’s courtyard. He was not going to hide this from Gu Chaoyan, so he was going to tell her everything.

He walked into the room, looking worried.

Gu Chaoyan could tell that something had gone wrong at the sight of him, so she asked, “What is it?”

Zhou Huaijin looked tired and took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands. “Let’s go and meet Mr. Zhao, and I will tell you the rest when we return..”
