Chapter 1006: Prime Minister Chu
It was a county situated next to the capital and so many people were attacked, died or were injured. It should be a big event. If Zhou Huaijin could make a pet.i.tion to the court the next morning, there should be an army dispatched to kill those things. Gu Chaoyan believed that Zhou Huaijin would be able to get the approval for this.
He never did things that were out of his control. Since he mentioned this, he must already be quite certain about it.
Zhou Huaijin nodded at Gu Chaoyan. “You remember that Lin Yu took away some of those things for investigation? Lin Yu has found out that those so-called metal people are not totally invulernable. They have weaknesses too. Lin Yu needs to do some other work right now, but he will be okay these two days. If we can have all of these things killed, the civilians should have a better life.”
“…”
“Shadow Door could have stepped forward to do this, but Shadow Door is just an organization in the society, so it might receive an attack from the court. So I believe that I can give the pet.i.tion to the court, so that they can do it in the court’s name,” Zhou Huaijin said.
Gu Chaoyan had not gotten nervous until she heard what he said later. She frowned.
If the King really attacked Shadow Door, that was because the King thought that the Shadow Door was a threat to the court, rather than a force which removed the things that hurt the civilians.
Gu Chaoyan more or less understood what the King was like. She could not help but sigh.
Seeing how she reacted, Zhou Huaijin pinched her face and smiled. “Alright, don’t be so sad, you have worked hard today, just take a break now. You can ask Sword One and the others to do the work for you, if things aren’t that important.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She really felt a bit tired. She had not expected that something like this would happen.
…
She just hoped that this could be solved as soon as possible, so that more civilians would not be hurt. It was a peaceful time, but things like this had happened.
Zhou Huaijin stood by Gu Chaoyan’s side until she fell asleep. Then he leaned against the chair and left for the court, when dawn broke.
Zhou Huaijin was a lord, so he did not have to be at the morning session every day, but he did attend the morning session, when he had things to report.
Like today.
Normally, he should be away from the court since the Queen was gone and the Heir was endowed, but Zhou Huaijin did not care about those things.
Chu Tian was a bit surprised when he saw Zhou Huaijin coming to the morning session.
He was very astonished that Lord Huai was here too.
Chu Yu had just come to him and told him something good about Lord Huai. Chu Tian believed that Chu Yu was young and could not understand things, but he knew his son well – his son never said things out loud unless he was certain about it. He said that Lord Huai looked as if he knew nothing, but maybe he was the turning point. He had not made the decision right now, but he would like to get closer to Lord Huai to see if Chu Yu was right.
“Greetings, Lord Huai.” Chu Tian stopped Zhou Huaijin.
“Greetings, Prime Minister,” Zhou Huaijin said calmly.
