Jiang Shuang was his Queen, and he should be by her side whatever happened. Zhao Yiqiu was just a doctor, so why was he ordering him here?
The King was not convinced. He refused to leave and instead sat where he had been.
Zhao Yiqiu looked at the King coldly. A touch of lethal feelings flashed across his look. He and Zhou Sheng as well as Jiang Shuang were very good friends, and he respected Zhou Sheng for old time’s sake, but Zhou Sheng kept causing Jiang Shuang trouble because of his selfishness. He just could not stand it any more. Zhao Yiqiu took a step forward to the King, but Gu Chaoyan walked up and patted Zhao Yiqiu’s shoulders. “Mr. Zhao, check on the Queen first.”
As she finished speaking, she said to the King coldly, “King, the Queen is not in a good condition these days, and she only feels better since Mr. Zhao takes good care of her. If you keep doing this, you will cause her a lot of trouble.”
The King felt that he had been splashed with a basin of cold water. He caused trouble for Jiang Shuang? He turned around and looked at Jiang Shuang, who was still coughing, and the room that used to be filled with the scent of medical herbs. Jiang Shuang looked completely pale, and her hair was unkempt because of the struggle in his arms.
He… he felt that he was the King and Jiang Shuang was the Queen, so he should be here. “Just get out, King.” Gu Chaoyan repeated. Aunt Nan and the King had been alone in the room. So the Queen suddenly felt unwell because of the changed emotions, and anger was dominating her. That must have been because of the King. If he remained, the Queen would get worse. That was why Gu Chaoyan repeated her words.
The King got up, feeling quite concerned.
He said to the Queen. “I will be guarding outside.”
When the King left the room, Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief and went out too.
Zhao Yiqiu was taking care of the Queen, so there was little she could do. She felt that it would be better for her to watch the King outside instead.
The waiting time was extremely long. And there were sounds of coughing that came outside every now and then.
The King kept pacing back and forth with a concerned look on his face. Gu Chaoyan was sitting next to him quietly.
She believed that a capable doctor like Mr. Zhao would make everything right. No one had expected or planned that the King would come to the town and take care of the Queen, but he was the King after all, and since the Queen still kept her title, the King could not be forced.
However, it would be bad if he was selfish enough to cause the Queen trouble.
Gu Chaoyan felt that she should do something so that he would be willing to leave the town.
Gu Chaoyan was deep in contemplation when the King said, “She will be fine, won’t she?”
Gu Chaoyan looked at him coldly. “Anything can happen.”
The King’s face froze. He had very complicated emotions between his eyes.
It was not until the eunuch came to him that he looked at him, who reminded him. “King, Lord Ling is here.”
