Chapter 824 Not Proper
Gu Chaoyan was marrying Zhou Huaijin, and the engagement had been established, but the Queen was Zhou Huaijin’s mother, so if the Queen could get favored by the King, Zhou Huaijin would have a better future.
Even if the Queen was seriously sick, when the King decided to take care of her personally, the Queen should cherish the chance, because that was something no woman would dream about. So she did not have to drive the King away from the Queen’s room.
Also… Interests came first before everything else.
The Queen was already in terrible health, so she should cherish the remaining time to get as much from the King as possible, but they did not. They did not do anything about that at all.
And they did not even mention the matter of the heir that was once mentioned by the King. Neither the Queen, Zhou Huaijin or Gu Chaoyan had mentioned the issue or given the King any pressure so that he would handle the issue.
The Empress Dowager had been quite confused about this right from the start. So she got even more confused when she ran into this issue again. Otherwise she would not have asked the question directly.
It was something she just could not understand.
She had a sense that something bad was happening, but she just could not fathom what was happening. Something didn’t seem right. Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Honored Princess Jing laughed. What Gu Chaoyan did was a great thing for her. The King was not himself – he had claimed that he was making use of Jiang Shuang, but now, he started to care about Jiang Shuang. He even thought about taking good care of her! Honored Princess Jing was worried that if the situation continued in this way, Ling’s interests would be affected. So it was good that Gu Chaoyan turned him down.
She liked it when Gu Chaoyan turned the King down.
Honored Princess Jing said indifferently seeing the strange look on the Empress Dowager’s look. “Aunt, no need to think about this at all. It is all very simple. Gu Chaoyan is a dumb girl. Any smart person would not do something like this.”

“Just think about it, Gu Chaoyan had never been treated well since she was little at Gu Mansion, even her own father hates her! She has also never done anything beneficial for Zhou Huaijin.”

“There is a reason why her father doesn’t like her – she is not a smart person and always makes mistakes. She tells the truth because she thinks that she is a good doctor, but she never thinks about what is beneficial for her at all.”
“It is good that Zhou Huaijin is marrying her. What achievements could he make, if he marries a dumb girl. He is never going to exceed Ling!”
“Aunt, don’t dwell on it,” Honored Princess Jing said proudly.
She was in a good mood when she noticed what was happening now. So she did not feel the need to dwell on that matter, when they were in an advantageous state.
Hearing what Honored Princess Jing said, the Empress Dowager found that what she said made sense. Lord Ling’s Princess Consort was Gu Chaoyan’s sister, so she must have mentioned something to Honored Princess Jing.
Then the whole thing made sense. If that was the truth, then they were definitely in an advantageous state.
The Empress Dowager stopped dwelling on that issue, but Honored Princess Jing said angrily, “Aunt, what matters right now is not Gu Chaoyan, but how the King treats the Queen!”
