The court just could not wait to see them. It was getting dark now, yet they were still asked to go into the court directly.

They had been aware of this result. On the way back to the capital, they already figured out what might happen after they returned.

Both of them were very calm.

!!

Fu Bao came to inform them so they were prepared. After Fu Bao’s message, De Fu arrived.

He looked really proud.

He was here to pass on the King’s imperial order, so he did not need to greet Lord Huai.

De Fu did not like Gu Chaoyan because of the grudge they had before, so he was not speaking to them with a good attitude.

“Here you are, Lord Huai. I have been searching for you everywhere. I am bringing the King’s order, please go into the court after you hear the order, no delays, please,” De Fu said stiffly, seeming to complain to Lord Huai for not being at his own mansion so he was delayed in passing on the message.

Having said that, De Fu reminded them. “Lady Chaoyan and Lord Huai, don’t spend any time getting ready. It has taken so long and the King will be very displeased to not see you after such a long while.”

“…”

“You have won the battle at the border, so don’t get the King upset because of this small matter,” De Fu said indifferently.

Zhou Huaijin had no expression on his face.

When De Fu was done talking, he replied coldly, “Eunuch De Fu, you can lead the way.”

Having said that, he stretched out his arm to Gu Chaoyan who put hers through his. They got up and were about to leave.

De Fu led the way and then suddenly thought of something, turned around and took a look at Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan. “Oh, the King said that you don’t have to have guards with you in the court.”

Then he continued to move forward.

Sword One was a bit worried, and insisted on going into the court with them.

The King stressed this, probably because Elder Miss would be put into a dangerous position, which made her very worried.

Gu Chaoyan patted Sword One’s hand, asking her not to be worried, as they continued to move forward.

Sword One and Fu Bao stayed behind.

Only Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan went into the court with Eunuch De Fu.

Fu Bao looked much calmer than Sword One.

It was suddenly very quiet in the room.

Li Qing was still very confused, wondering what was going on.

Seeing that they were alone he asked. “I do trust Lady Chaoyan’s observation and judgment, but I just can’t understand what made Duke North do that?”

“…”

“Why did he drug himself? What is the point?”

Sword One threw a look at Li Qing.

She looked quite helpless.

This man had such a dumb head!

She shook her head and said, “That is very easy…”
