Chapter 1674 Lord Huai 1
?
Gu Chaoyan had just walked into the court, when she felt that the whole court seemed to be in a very depressed mood. The servants all kept their heads lowered as they moved about carefully, as if they were afraid of causing trouble.
That was what a court was normally like, but Gu Chaoyan felt that something was wrong.
The servants used to be careful but full of liveliness, but now the liveliness seemed to be gone.
Gu Chaoyan frowned involuntarily, before asking De Fu, "Has anything special happened in the court these days?"
De Fu sighed.
Many special things have happened these days, but only Lady Chaoyan was able to sense it.
Speaking of that, he could not help but miss Prime Minister Chu and General Liu, who were experienced ministers who truly cared about the country. They would not have allowed the court to become like this.
"The King gave the people from Piaomiao Pavilion free access to the court, and they are almost like the King here! They already looked down at us without the permission from the King, but they have become really wild after getting the permission. They regard the court as their own place, killing servants whenever they want to, especially the Elder Miss, who we should never offend."
"…"
"If they run into servants who they don't like, they beat them and kill them. Even the most brutal King in history would not treat his servants like this. So we are extremely careful and alert all the time, fearing that we might run into people from Piaomiao Pavilion and get ourselves killed."
"…"
"It has been like this for a while in the court."
"…"
"The King doesn't stop them, and the ministers all want to hide, refusing to deal with it in case they get in trouble."
"…"
"Could the Saint Divine Land without Prime Minister Chu and General Liu only end up like this?"
De Fu walked as he whispered to Gu Chaoyan about what was happening in the court.
Those things would not affect the King, and could even help the King, so De Fu took a big risk in saying that.
However, De Fu did not have much hope.
The Phoenix Girl had contradicted the King and the ministers by not offering that thing. She might already be in a bad position.
Sigh…
What was going on here?
De Fu had no idea when it started to become like this, The Saint Divine Land and the King had changed to this.
He started to think carefully.
It seemed that all of it started after the Queen passed away and Princess Xunyang went missing. After Lord Huai lost his favor with the King.
That was when it all started.
Sometimes he wished that the Queen had never learned the truth, so that the King would not be suffering so much now.
They walked in silence.
Gu Chaoyan was in deep contemplation.
She suddenly felt that it was the best time for the Shadow Door to come out.
The Saint Divine Land needed a change.
The Saint Divine Land would not last long, if it continued like this.
The King was becoming more and more confused.
Gu Chaoyan did not tell DeFu about what she was thinking at the moment. De Fu would only be devoted throughout his life, respectful but pathetic.
They stepped into Qianqing Palace together.
Seeing Gu Chaoyan appear, the King said straightforwardly, "I do not want to chit chat with you, I want to discuss something with you."
