Chapter 548: The Trap 2
“Something unexpected happened?” Zhou Huailing asked in surprise.
He thought that as long as his father made the order, the whole thing would be very easily done, so he had not been thinking about it after he left the court. However, something unexpected happened.
The King nodded. “The Queen and your Eighth Brother disapprove of the arrangement completely, and firmly.”
Zhou Huailing’s expression sank. He believed that his father was too weak. So he said with displeasure, “Father, you are the King, the whole world has to obey your order. So we are dropping it just because they disapprove of the arrangement? You are supposed to be an imposing king! Also, the Queen and my mother are basically at the same social status. The Jiang Family has faded. You have nothing to fear!”
The King sighed, he then took a sip of tea.
He had been afraid of the Jiang family years back, but General Jiang had been dead for a very long while. However, even if that was the case…
“They still have lingering forces. General Jiang is gone, but the Jiang family still has supporters,” the King said helplessly. The Jiang family had been the thorn in his heart that could not be pulled away. It had been like this for dozens of years!
However, soon the thorn would be gone. As long as he waited patiently.
“When Destiny Monk is found and we get to know how the Phoenix Girl works, we will no longer have to fear,” the King said to Zhou Huailing, but he was actually talking to himself. He had been loaded with too much concern, and Ling was the only person he could share the concern with. Otherwise, he would be totally trapped!
Zhou Huailing was furious, but when he heard that his father was depending everything upon the Phoenix Girl, he finally understood that the Phoenix Girl was very useful. He inwardly sighed with delight – luckily, he had got the Phoenix Girl. He had to fear no one and nothing in the future.
As he thought of these ideas, he was not that annoyed by what he had to do with Gu Yunhe. So he asked patiently. “Father, what is your idea?”
The King said calmly, “I had planned to ask you to bring the whole Gu Mansion for your mother’s birthday so that Gu Yunhe could be alone, but I just thought for a while and believed that it can’t be a good idea.”
“…”
“Xunyang is definitely not going to fall for him just at the banquet. Xunyang is a princess and she has met numerous n.o.ble men. If Gu Yunhe wants to stand out, he has to do something unique.”
“…”
“You, go to the Gu Family and bring Gu Yunhe to the court. Then you can arrange a meeting with Xunyang yourself.”
That was the hint the King offered.
Zhou Huailing was not a stupid man, nor was Gu Yunhe. Since the King made the hints, they should know what they ought to do specifically.
That was definitely true.
The King had the experience himself. If he had not made a careful plan, he would not have made the Elder Miss of the Jiang Family fall for him or decide to marry him. His brothers back then were equally excellent, the only difference was that when his brothers were meeting the Elder Miss politely, they did nothing special.
The King smiled proudly as he remembered the glorious thing he did earlier. Although he hated General Jiang and the whole Jiang Family, so what? He had won in the end anyway, hadn’t he?
No… Not exactly..
As long as the Queen was still in her throne and Zhou Huailing still the Lord, he had not yet won, but…
