Chapter 459: The Changed King
Zhou Huaijin confessed the whole story to the Queen. He knew clearly that the Queen agreed to join the court, only because she loved the King, otherwise the Queen would never have enjoyed life in the court at all.
During the past few years, he was aware of how true the Queen was being to the King, but in the past decades, the King had way too many women and a world to control, so many things had changed. Yet one thing that was certain was that the Queen was still in love with the King. Whether or not he was showing the same feelings was unknown to Zhou Huaijin.
He told the Queen the truth, because he hoped that the Queen would make a clearer consideration about that. She should be aware of the situation she was in.
Hearing his words, the Queen did not even manage to hold her teacup, so the hot tea spilled. Seeing the scene, Aunt Nan helped the Queen to take away the teacup and looked at the Queen’s hand concernedly, “You are so careless, I will go and fetch the cream.”
“I am fine,” the Queen said.
Seeing the scene, Gu Chaoyan took out cream and passed it to Aunt Nan. “Aunt Nan, use this please.”
Aunt Nan was startled, then she thought of how excellent Lady Chaoyan was in medicine, so the cream she offered should be useful.
So she took it and dabbed it on for the Queen.
The cream was made with magical water, which made up the majority of it. It felt very cold upon her hands, and soon the redness on the Queen’s hands was gone.
The Queen, as well as Aunt Nan, was surprised. “Chaoyan, your cream works so well.”
Even when she was using the best cream in the court, the wound would still take at least two days to heal, but Chaoyan’s medical cream did it within seconds.
The Queen was suddenly reminded of how she told her about being excellent at medicine despite the prescriptions, and that the prescriptions were not that useful after all for any doctors. She had thought that the words made sense, but she had never experienced it. Now she finally understood that Chaoyan was truly good at medical skills, not only using the prescriptions.
“I made it when I was free, if you think it is great, I will pass some to you.” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.
The Queen finally had a slightly better mood. She had fallen into a bad mood when she heard Huaijin’s words.
She had thought that the King had been standing in line with her regarding Huaijin’s wedding – he could marry whomever he liked. Also, a rough man like him should not have been that careful about too many things. So when she heard the story today, she could not find any excuses.
Even if he was a rough man, he should not have asked Huaijin to get married so fast, going against the rules.
It was Zhou Huailing’s own matter if he went against etiquette, but her Huaijin was not going to betray Chaoyan.
What made the King do so? That was what distracted the Queen till she upset the tea a moment ago.
She sighed inwardly. The Queen said to Gu Chaoyan, “It is quiet now in Cining Palace, the prescriptions you offered them have kept them busy. The imperial doctors all studied the prescriptions to see if they were fabricated, but they said that the prescriptions were truly excellent, something they can’t do. That is why you are free now.”
“I have been worried that you would be affected by the revealed prescriptions, but it seems that…”
