Chapter 830 - Back to the Court

Chapter 830 Back to the Court

In the past, whenever he made impulsive decisions, his mother would get angry and snap at him. Normally, she would have insisted that he should return to the court at the moment.

He had been prepared to go through a long argument with his mother, but... He had not expected that when he put forward the arrangement, his mother agreed with him directly.

He had been on the throne for more than two decades. Apart from being too sick to visit the court, he had never been absent. Every day, he would be reading the petitions and he subconsciously believed that he could not be replaced by anyone else. However, his mother believed that he could be replaced.

The King had a complicated look on his face and suddenly felt a bit unassured. He started to feel a little confused as well.

His children had all grown up and the time was like never before. His mother had more than one child – she had many grandchildren too.

“What is wrong?” the Empress Dowager asked, seeing that the King did not seem to be in the right state.

The King insisted on staying and the Empress Dowager did not argue about that, but now, it seemed that the King was not in the right mood.

The King shook his head and said calmly, “Nothing. The Queen is not well so I have been distracted.”

The Empress Dowager nodded too.

That was understandable. He could be left to be worried for a few days.

The more he was worried at the moment, the more he would hate her later, the Empress Dowager thought and persuaded herself not to get angry. Honored Princess Jing was no longer in the mood to listen to any of their conversation.

What dominated her mind was how her son was going to supervise the country – which basically meant that the King was going to make Ling the heir. Soon when Ling got the position of the heir, she was going to be the Queen as well.

Nothing else mattered, compared to this, so she did not care about or feel jealous of the Queen at the moment.

“The Queen is not doing well and the doctors can take care of her. You should watch out for yourself, whilst you remain here.” The Empress Dowager stressed, then she left with Honored Princess Jing.

The King did not see them off, but went to Zhao Yiqiu’s instead.

The Empress Dowager was still wearing a serious expression as she got into the wagon with Honored Princess Jing.

She had many things to worry about at the moment.

After the King confessed his feelings to Jiang Shuang, the King was slightly out of control. He started to suspect everyone and everything around him, and now he even started to suspect her. That did not seem like a good thing at all.

“Honored Princess Jing, when you inform Lord Ling about this, tell him to keep calm and follow the King’s orders.” The Empress Dowager stressed.

Honored Princess Jing was confused for a moment, then she realized what she meant.

Honored Princess Jing, who always lost herself in front of the Empress Dowager, was extremely cautious at the moment. “I got it.”

Then the Empress Dowager was assured and closed her eyes for a nap.

The King did not visit the Queen, but turned to Zhao Yiqiu instead.

He said straightforwardly at the sight of Zhao Yiqiu. “Can you be honest with me? Are you able to let Jiang Shuang return to the court with me?”
