Ms. Doctor Divine

It was true that Xinzhou was defended and that the Saint Divine Land was taking the lead, and that the casualty for the North Qi Land was big, but the North Qi had magical monsters, and wars were never predictable, so no one knew what would happen afterwards. Among his sons, the Crown Prince was the only son he liked and acknowledged. So the King did not want him to take the risk at the border, despite the fact that he proposed the idea personally.

The King felt even more bothered by this point.

Zhou Huailing looked at his father, feeling a bit annoyed.

His father was still defensive against him.

His father still wanted to keep the throne, thus pushing him down in every aspect. The reason why his father was bothered by this proposal was because he did not want him to steal the show.

He frowned.

"Crown Prince, the border is not a stable place, and no one knows what is going to happen next. Are you sure you want to go to Xinzhou?" The King asked for confirmation, looking really serious.

"I am not afraid, father," Zhou Huailing said resolutely.

The King sighed and nodded, then he asked De Fu to continue with the imperial order.

"Go and visit your mother and the Empress Dowager before you leave." The King stressed.

​ Zhou Huailing frowned and nodded.

He felt quite unconvinced inwardly.

His father approved of his proposal, but he still tried to get his mother and the Empress Dowager to talk him out of the intention. Nevertheless, he had made up his mind to go to the border. He needed the support of the civilians and that was the easiest way to get their support.

He could not just wait for these days to pass.

He needed to spare no efforts to hasten the day when he took the throne.

The imperial army had taken away the messenger and De Fu had already written the two imperial orders. Subsequently, Zhou Huailing walked out of Qianqing Palace.

When he walked out of Qianqing Palace, Zhou Huailing did not go to visit Honored Princess Jing or the Empress Dowager, but hurried out of the court.

He did not have time to waste on these small affairs.

He hurried out of the court and saw Junyi waiting for him by the wagon. He said straightforwardly, "Get onto the wagon, I have a few things to discuss with you, now."

Then he went into the wagon directly.

Hearing the tone in which Zhou Huailing spoke those words as well as his behavior, Junyi understood that something was wrong. He looked very serious as he followed into the wagon.

The wagon headed towards the mansion at a very high speed.

It was very quiet inside the mansion, because the women were all in the back yard and Zhou Huailing as well as his trusted men were active in the front yard.

The moment they got off the wagon, they headed directly to the study.

"Junyi, I am heading back to Xinzhou, so you should get prepared so that we can leave directly." Zhou Huailing said, "Also, one more thing. Eighth Brother won the battle in Xinzhou and he managed to defend the town. Our plan failed."

Junyi looked extremely shocked.

So…
