Chapter 845 Hatred
The King was still very satisfied.
What he needed right now was an heir who could do things according to his orders, and who should not be more capable than him.
It seemed that Lord Ling was a smart person, but he still needed a decade to get everything right. That made the King feel much more relaxed.
He put away the petitions and said to De Fu. “Pass on my message – Lord Ling is badly injured right now, so take him to a palace to take a break. He doesn’t have to do any more work right now, since it is bad for the healing process. As for the Princess Consort, get her to move into the palace with Lord Ling.”
“Also, take a bonus to Lord Ling’s Mansion, as well as Gu Mansion. I remember that the Lord Ling’s Princess Consort’s elder brother is working for Lord Ling, so he can be ignored at the moment, but I remember that the Princess Consort’s father has never had a high position, so I believe that he should be promoted. Bring Prime Minister Chu to the court tomorrow, I would like to discuss with him what position the Princess Consort’s father should get.”
“And, arrange some people to guard the Queen properly in the town.”

“Go and get everything well done,” the King said.
De Fu answered with a yes, then he went to do his own business.
The King decided to have a good rest. He had been so busy when he was in town that it was time for him to relax.
When the King laid down, De Fu left Qianqing Palace.
He looked down from a commanding point of view and sighed. Suddenly, he felt so baffled.
The court must be the most fickle place in the world.
He lowered his head, and continued to implement the order.

In the town.
Zhao Yiqiu and Gu Chaoyan were sitting next to each other and drinking tea in the same tempo, then they saw Zhou Huaijin hurrying towards them.
Gu Chaoyan asked. “What happened?”
Zhao Yiqiu watched quietly next to them.
The King left the town suddenly without leaving any message, nor had he dispatched anyone to pass on any more messages. Something had obviously happened.
Gu Chaoyan felt that something was wrong, so she asked Sword Two to inform Zhou Huaijin about this and Zhou Huaijin conducted the investigation directly.
Zhou Huaijin sat down and drank some tea, then he showed a very helpless expression on his face. “Lord Ling was injured, somewhere not far from the court. He is resting in the Imperial Hospital at the moment.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded and understood the incident, but she did not understand why Zhou Huailing would get injured.
“Who did this?” Gu Chaoyan asked.
Hearing these words, Zhou Huaijin smiled ironically, “It was found.”
“The interrogation result was that the assassin was someone who used to work for the Jiang Family,” Zhou Huaijin said with utter anger, but then burst into laughter soon. “Father hurried away, and he has not yet given us any more messages. He must have started to hate mother again, and he must have started doubting her as well.”
No wonder he hurried away so fast, though he insisted on taking care of her just a day before. That was why!
Someone who used to work for the Jiang Family?
When his grandfather passed away, those who used to work for him were all transferred to different troops.
When the Guandong Troop was dismissed, many deserters ran away, because they were loyal to the Jiang Family, and refused to work for anyone else, but Zhou Huaijin understood one thing...
