Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 937: Investigation

Yinfeng was a nice person, but unfortunately, he was Prince Muyi’s staff. Otherwise, she would have hired him personally, instead.

Yinfeng believed that Lady Chaoyan was capable, but he still felt that he needed to be prepared.

Despite what Lady Chaoyan said…

At this moment, people from the Feather Mulberry Land arrived. It was a eunuch. Judging from how he was dressed, he must most likely be an eunuch close to the King.

Although there were four countries on this vast land, the official system and clothing system were almost the same. So it was very easy to tell what rank a person was in.

The eunuch said to Gu Chaoyan politely, “Lady Chaoyan, the King is asking you to come to the court. The King feels sorry for not having received you in time, since he did not know that you were here. He will meet you personally tomorrow.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded and showed a calm look on her face. “Please pass my gratitude to the King.”

“I will. The wagon from the court will come and pick you up tomorrow,” the eunuch said politely.

Gu Chaoyan nodded and the eunuch retreated politely.

Gu Chaoyan showed very little passion when there was no money guaranteed to her, but the eunuch was still behaving politely.

Mo Bing walked him out.

The following day…

Gu Chaoyan got up early in the morning.

She decided to visit the King of the Feather Mulberry Land alone. Gu Chaoyan did not intend to expose Zhou Huaijin and Zhou Huaiyu’s real identities. It was not Gu Chaoyan’s intention.

They were the lords from the imperial family of the Saint Divine Land, so they should not come and visit the King from the Feather Mulberry Land directly. That would cause gossip when they were back in the Saint Divine Land, but she was different.

She was engaged to Lord Huai, yet they were not married. Yellow Crane was her property, one of her mother’ dowries. She came to the Feather Mulberry Land with a purpose, so she had nothing to fear.

Sword One and Feng Yue were the two people who followed her into the court.

Both of them were hidden guards from Shadow Door, and both of them were girls, so it more proper to be taken along by her side.

As for Mo Bing and the other hidden guards, they could just hide in the darkness.

Actually, Gu Chaoyan had her own plan. She did not think that she was going to run into any trouble in the imperial court, but they were not assured, so they had many hidden guards arranged just in case.

Zhou Huaijin said that in this way, Gu Chaoyan would be able to retreat whenever she needed it.

She said yes to the idea, despite the unnecessary motivation.

The imperial court of the Feather Mulberry Land was located very far away, so it took her almost two hours to arrive there.

The wagon arranged by the imperial court took her into the imperial court without running into too many barriers. It was a eunuch who took her all the way to where the King was.

After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at the destination.

It was the Imperial Study where she was being received. It was a place for the ministers to conduct discussions about different things. So when the King decided to receive her there, Gu Chaoyan more or less understood what the King was up to.

She walked into the Imperial Study, and finally met the King from the Feather Mulberry Land.

He was almost as old as the King from her country, but he looked sharper and had a very investigative and curious expression on his face.
