However, he had a different idea now.
He said with determination, “It is the Empress Dowager’s fault. She was setting her up! If the Empress Dowager had not made the proposal of moving her to the town, and kept stopping me from meeting her, things would not have become so terrible! It has always been the Empress Dowager!” When the King finished speaking, his expression became slightly more relaxed. He had stopped blaming himself. He nodded and seemed to agree with this idea.

Zhao Yiqiu looked at him. He looked as if he were watching a funny show. When he was just a Prince, he thought so little of himself that he believed that General Jiang was threatening him and that the Jiang Family was setting him up. He blamed the Jiang Family for everything. He even expected that he, Zhao Yiqiu, would take over the blame for his guilty feelings towards Jiang Shuang. Honestly, he was a man without integrity. He never felt guilty or blamed himself for anything. He only pushed the blame to someone else.
Zhao Yiqiu sneered. “You are the King, you can just disapprove of what the Empress Dowager suggests. You couldn’t be stopped, if you truly had the intention to visit her.”
The King looked at Zhao Yiqiu in confusion.
For one moment, he had no idea what Zhao Yiqiu meant.
However, at this point, De Fu passed on the message, saying that Lady Chaoyan and Lord Huai had arrived.
The King suddenly became distracted.
The moment he saw Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan, he showed a look of sadness as he said to Zhou Huaijin. “Look at your mother. She is not well.”
Zhou Huaijin showed a very peaceful look on his face as he passed by the King. He showed no look of shock and just nodded briefly, took the seat and removed the towel on her forehead, which had been there for too long, and cleaned it in the water before putting it back
The King was very surprised as he watched Zhou Huaijin conducting the whole series of moves. “You…”
“Mother has not been well, and she is getting worse and worse, especially after the New Year even Mr. Zhao has no way to rescue her. Father, please, mother has not had a comfortable time these days, I just hope that she can spend her last days in peace,” Zhou Huaijin said quietly.
The King showed a very helpless expression on his face.
So everyone knew about how Jiang Shuang was doing, except him? What happened? How could he have been so stupid?!
“I am moving her back to the court!” The King was not thinking straight, but what he wanted was to move her back to the place where they used to spend a long time together. That would make him feel better.
“Father, mother is not healthy enough to be moved around.” Zhou Huaijin frowned and a touch of fury arose on his face.
His mother loved his father deeply, but his father had always been selfish – he even wanted to be satisfied when his mother was doing so terribly.
The King’s eyes blurred.
True, she could not be moved anywhere else.
She was his Queen for more than twenty years, but he seemed to have never treated her well. When she was still alive… The King thought for a while. “Your mother is my Queen and while she is still alive, I will make her a promise. The heir has never been decided…”
