Chapter 726 - Meeting Xunyang

All the way to the present day, the King had always obeyed what she said. Sometimes he would make decisions personally, but those were just minor matters which the Empress Dowager did not care about, or she just gave him a boost in the end.

Today was the first time for the King to snap at her and stop her from doing anything more.

The Empress Dowager looked at the King and suddenly realized that the King was no longer young. The King always said that he was in his flourishing years, but he was almost in his 50s, and there were grey hairs on his head. He had his own opinions now. He did not want to follow her plan any more.

The Queen was one thing, and what was going on now was another.

The Empress Dowager\'s eyes sank.

The King also found that something was wrong. He softened his eyes. "Mother, I just mean that you are too old to care about everything. I can deal with everything myself."

"If that is the case, I will drop it here," the Empress Dowager said angrily, then she left with her own servants.

The King looked at her retreating figure and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager was not very happy about this, but she was a woman and she had not thought beyond the surface. It was not that easy to deal with what happened to Xunyang now.

The King looked up at Zhou Huaijin. "We have to find Xunyang, but we should not spread this news. You can get your men to do the searching and I will arrange it properly. Also don\'t mention what you are here for today. New Year is around the corner, and we should at least celebrate the New Year well."

Zhou Huaijin nodded, then he and Gu Chaoyan left the Qianqing Palace.

Since the Queen was not in the court, they did not stay in the court any more, but left overnight. Then they returned to the mansion.

Only then did Zhou Huaijin shake his head.

He understood what his father was like - he was always dubious and ambitious, and as long as he spoke in an ambitious way, he would trust him.

That was all for Xunyang.

"Xunyang is doing well, isn\'t she?" Gu Chaoyan asked.

"Everything is settled. She might be lonely for a while, but just for a while, all will be well." Zhou Huaijin said.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

"The King would not suspect us any more, right?" That was what Gu Chaoyan was worried about.

"No, the most dangerous place is the safest place." Zhou Huaijin said happily, "The person who is most likely to do this is always the person who is least likely to do this."

Gu Chaoyan punched him slightly on his chest, thinking that Zhou Huaijin was indeed evil, but the Empress Dowager and the King believed that he was a spoiled prince, so they did not think that he was a threat.

She shook her head.

That was so annoying and funny.

***

On the day after Xunyang went missing. Xuan Lin went into the court. His face was almost recovered, and he still had injuries on his body, but despite the fact, he still came to the court.

He was very unconvinced. He had not even gotten a single woman for ten magical monsters. So how terrible was Princess Xunyang, for the King to be willing to exchange her for the five magical monsters?

He did not want to take responsibility, so he wanted to see the Princess.
