Zhou Huaijin sat down in the chair.
The Eunuch served Zhou Huaijin a cup of tea as usual, and Zhou Huaijin took a sip of it without hesitation. It was blowing very hard outside and he needed to drive the cold away.
The King had been calling Zhou Huaijin the Eight Son since he was little. And the King would address Zhou Huailing by his name. That was the difference between him and Zhou Huailing. Zhou Huaijin had sensed it since he was little. So he stopped caring about this when he grew up.
“The Eunuch said that you were in the court already, so I have been waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace. I thought you would come to me after you visited your mother, but you left directly. I hesitated for a while, but still asked the Eunuch to bring you here,” the King said calmly.
“You must have found out what happened after you visited your mother,” the King said as he looked at Zhou Huaijin.
Zhou Huaijin resembled his mother. He was a son from the Jiang Family. That was why the King never liked this son of his inwardly.
However, more than a decade had passed… He was still the son he spent years with. He disliked him, but he had no evil ideas to set him up right now. Otherwise, he would not have asked him to visit him here today.
The King looked at Zhou Huaijin and knocked on the table slightly, yet Zhou Huaijin showed no changed expression on his face. He continued. “You are a man too, and you should understand your father well.”
“I just can’t understand. It is something I have been angry about for more than a decade. It should have been history, since General Jiang has already passed away. I would not want to mention this old story, but the Honored Princess Jing mentioned it, so I got so angry that I spilled out everything.
“I won’t hate your mother because of what General Jiang did for me. She is still the supreme Queen who lives in the Weiyang Palace. When she gets better, I will return the authority token back to her.
“As for you… there are many things to do right now, and you should get things ready at your mansion and make sure you get married smoothly.
“Everything is just like before,” the King said.
He had thought about everything in the Qianqing Palace a while ago.
Jiang Shuang had been married to him for more than two decades, and Zhou Huaijin was also his son. He did a bad deed to Xunyang, so he would not blame anything that happened in the past.
No matter what happened in the future, he was still going to give his Eighth son a place to survive in the capital.
At least Jiang Shuang and his Eighth son would be able to have a luxurious life throughout their whole life, and that was the most he could do.
Having said this, the King felt slightly more assured. He believed that it was the perfect arrangement.
He massaged his temples and said, “That is all I am going to tell you, you are old enough to understand everything. Anyway, it is snowing heavily today, just go home.”
Zhou Huaijin nodded.
Instead of saying anything, he left the Qianqing Palace.
The King sighed. His son might not understand the point, but soon he would drop this matter completely.
Zhou Huaijin walked out of the Qianqing Palace and got rid of the Eunuch.
Fu Bao looked about and said, “The mystery is solved..”
