Chapter 533: Lord Ling’s Intention

Seeing that there were few refugees remaining for the pulse feeling, she finished her work and then asked Zhou Huaijin confusedly, “What is going on?”

Zhou Huaijin sighed.

“Father has changed.” Zhou Huaijin said with a serious tone. “I do understand that even if father adores me greatly, he never teaches me how to deal with the court. That basically means that he wants me to be the shield, so that those who want to get the throne would set me up whilst the other brothers of mine are safe.”

“…”

“I have been used to this point anyway.”

“…”

“But at least father used to have a comprehensive consideration for the general situation and take the civilians as important”

“…”

“But now, just because Fourth Brother has married the Phoenix Girl, he entrusts the whole thing to the Fourth Brother, just because he expects Fourth Brother to obtain more foundation among the commoners. However, Fourth Brother has no experience with refugees and he has no heart for them either. How would he be able to allocate them properly?”

Zhou Huaijin was annoyed not by the way the King was treating him, but about the way the King was treating the civilians.

Gu Chaoyan finally understood the whole story. So the King had always expected Zhou Huailing to take the throne. He picked the daughter of the general as the Princess Consort, which was already better than any of the other sons. And the name Ling sounded imperial as well.

Gu Chaoyan felt concerned about Zhou Huaijin as she looked at him. It was already a very difficult thing for Zhou Huaijin to grow up safe and sound.

“Anyway, let’s drop it now, there are too many refugees around here, let me and Fu Bao bring them into the city first?” Zhou Huaijin asked.

The most important thing was to allocate those people properly.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. “There are too many of them here and we are running out of space. But we should not have too many people in one room either.”

So Zhou Huaijin, together with Fu Bao, guided the refugees all the way to the city gate.

The refugees had already known it all.

This Lord Huai and his future Princess Consort who was making the medicine, were both nice people. They were doing nice things for their sake, so they stayed obedient and tried not to cause any trouble.

As they came to the gate, one hour had already passed, but as they approached the gate, they were stopped anyway.

The guards said embarrassedly, “Lord Huai, you can go inside, but not these refugees.”

“The King already gave the order to allocate the refugees in the morning session, now there is no space outside the city, where would they go if they are not allowed inside?” Zhou Huaijin snapped expressionlessly.

The guards sighed. They felt sympathetic for the refugees as well, but they were just guards that needed to conduct the orders given by the superiority.

“Lord Huai, it is not our intention, but Lord Ling’s.”

Lord Ling? So he had time to give orders, but not to come to allocate the refugees personally?

“Lord Ling is here.” One guard reminded the rest.
