1675 Lord Huai 2
Gu Chaoyan sat down on the chair, looking at the King expressionlessly and showed an attentive look at what he was going to say.
The King did not care about how Gu Chaoyan would react. All he needed was to obtain the Golden Rolls so that he could obtain the pills for eternal life. Nothing else mattered.
He said straightforwardly, “The Queen has been gone for almost a year.”
“…”
“According to the rules in the Saint Divine Land, the wedding of the descendants of the deceased should not take place until one year later.”
!!
“…”
“Now is almost time. I can start to prepare your wedding with Lord Huai, and I can even promise Lord Huai a good job in the court, and ask the Ministry of Architecture to build a new mansion for him.”
“…”
“On this condition, I want the Golden Rolls!”
“…”
“Are you willing to make the deal?” The King stared directly at Gu Chaoyan, waiting for her to say yes.
He only had five days, so he had to make the deal as soon as possible, within these five days.
Gu Chaoyan turned to him.
Sure enough, the King had gone insane. He only wanted everything for himself.
Making Lord Huai the bargaining chip for her? That was indeed the best solution he could possibly think of.
Gu Chaoyan sneered.
She shook her head. “No.”
“…”
“How you are going to deal with Lord Huai is your problem. I don’t want to get involved,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
The King was shocked.
What? Did she not think that was a good deal?
He already used Lord Huai as a bargaining chip and yet she still turned him down? Didn’t she love Lord Huai so much that she only wanted to marry him?
“Nothing!” Gu Chaoyan shook her head, got up and was about to go.
“Stop her!” The King bellowed furiously.
The imperial soldiers s.h.i.+elded the door, so that Gu Chaoyan could not go out easily.
De Fu was shocked when this happened so fast. He said quickly, “My King, she is the Phoenix Girl!”
Furious at hearing De Fu’s words, the King felt his anger exploding. He slapped De Fu’s face. “What are you shouting for, you servant? I am the King!”
After being slapped and pushed down, De Fu rolled away and said, “I am not, I am not…” He kept kowtowing.
Gu Chaoyan threw a side glance at De Fu. The King was treating De Fu so strangely and cruelly. She would not dare help him up. One more word at this moment and De Fu might have a problem.
Despite being displeased, the King heard what he said. He gestured to the imperial soldiers to leave.
She was the Phoenix Girl!
He was the King, but he did not dare touch the Phoenix Girl. He did not want any disaster to come to him.
Nevertheless, the King was furious.
He could not touch the Phoenix Girl, but he could do something to the man she cared about.
She only cared about Lord Huai all this while. She must think that Lord Huai’s being grounded did not affect her.
In that case… she was going to lose Lord Huai. Then she would no longer stay calm.
He was sure about that.
“Someone, bring Lord Huai here!”
