839: Lord Ling's Supervision

Lord Ling's Supervision

Zhao Yiqiu looked into Aunt Nan's eyes unexpectedly.2

He knew Aunt Nan well. She had been taking care of Jiang Shuang all the time. Aunt Nan had been fully devoted to Jiang Shuang, and she held the same attitude towards everyone else. Well, she did not care about anything else either. So when she said that she wanted to ask him something, Zhao Yiqiu was startled and had no idea what was going on.

He nodded after a while. "Yeah?"

"Will you stay by the Queen's side, when she moves out of the town?" Aunt Nan asked sincerely.

As a matter of fact, when the King was not yet the King and Mr. Zhao was still the young Mr. Zhao, they were both around her. Aunt Nan could tell that Mr. Zhao, who seemed quiet, liked the Miss back then.

Actually, Aunt Nan even hoped that her Miss would have chosen Mr. Zhao, who was silent yet cared so much about her Miss in every single way.

Mr. Zhao was a carefree person who liked to travel, and her Miss had the same interest. However, unexpectedly, her Miss fell for the Third Prince, who was in a bad position, namely the current King.

Finally, her Miss was able to finish her twenty years of life in the court. Soon, she would be able to live like a hermit somewhere, and Aunt Nan just hoped that someone was able to take care of her Miss and stand by her side.

Mr. Zhao had shown so much care for her Miss, including right now, that Aunt Nan would be very assured if Mr. Zhao could keep her Miss company. That was why she asked the question.

Zhao Yiqiu looked at Aunt Nan and nodded without consideration.

He said nothing, but Aunt Nan understood that it was a very weighty promise.

Aunt Nan greeted Zhao Yiqiu, and then went inside to take care of the Queen.

One night passed…

The flowers in the yard bloomed. So many things had happened within that one day's time.

Gu Chaoyan got up early to make the medical meal. Then she carried the medical meal personally and gave it to Aunt Nan.

Aunt Nan was the most discreet and careful person when it came to taking care of the Queen… Therefore, Gu Chaoyan never took over.

"Mr. Zhao, just go back to the room and let me guard here a little," Gu Chaoyan said as she looked at Zhao Yiqiu who was still outside.

Zhao Yiqiu found a place and sat down, saying calmly, "It is fine. We don't need to guard here any more, the King has gone back to the court. It will be quiet here today."

Gu Chaoyan was surprised.

The King went back to the court? He always claimed that he wanted to take care of the Queen so that she could get better. He had always shown concern in the past few days, yet now, he hurried back to the court.

That was something Gu Chaoyan could not fathom.

Zhao Yiqiu had no idea either, so he could not give her any further answer. He only knew that before dawn broke, Zhou Sheng left with his men. Something must have happened.

At this time, the King, who was discussed by the people, was on the way back to the court.

He received news early in the morning that Lord Ling was attacked by an assassin, and the intruder used to be part of the Guandong Troup, which belonged to the Jiang Family, and which was dismissed when General Jiang passed away. The members were inside different troops for the time being.

Well…

There were some deserters as well, who refused to listen to orders.

They had been quiet all these years, but the moment Lord Ling was appointed to supervise the country, they just could not wait to do something about it.
