Ms. Doctor Divine

The Queen was still absent. The Queen did not come out, or she did not even care that he was going to visit Princess Jing.

In the past she was not like this at all. He remembered clearly that she would always stop him from going to Princess Jing’s palace when he was at the Weiyang Palace before. He had hated her for this, but for some reason, he was feeling very uncomfortable now.

He felt very annoyed as he left.

He did not really visit Princess Jing, but returned to the Qianqing Palace instead.

Even De Fu could not understand what the King was thinking after all. Didn’t he say that he was visiting Princess Jing?

However, De Fu did not dare to ask anything.

All he did was to follow the King closely.

At the Weiyang Palace.

Zhao Yiqiu did not make any move either.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head, feeling helpless – what was Mr. Zhao doing here at the Weiyang Palace?

What mattered right now was not how Mr. Zhao was doing, but how the Queen was doing.

Gu Chaoyan returned to the inner chamber.

The Queen was about to reach for a cup of tea, so Gu Chaoyan helped her get it. For one moment, she had no idea what to say. “My Queen?”

The Queen finished her tea. She was not frowning that deeply any more.

Then she took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands and said, “Don’t worry.”

“…”

“I am not feeling self-pity at all. I used to like the King, and he liked me too, but it seems that the King has no feelings left for me and I will not die for this kind of person either. Since he doesn’t like me any more, I don’t have to continue to like him any more either.”

“…”

“But what I can’t understand is… after decades of being together, what made him change so suddenly? Anyway, the authority token is handed over and I have nothing to miss now.”

“…”

“Chaoyan, please write some prescriptions for me so that I can recover. When I am healthy enough, I will make a full plan for myself,” the Queen said calmly.

Gu Chaoyan looked at her eyes and found that the Queen was telling the truth. So she felt somehow assured.

The Queen was different from what she had expected. She had thought that the Queen would be heart-broken by what the King did to her today, but it seemed that the Queen did not mind.

Good that she did not mind. If a woman was stuck inside and got self-pitiful, then she would end up suffering from misery.

Gu Chaoyan wrote down the prescription, which consisted of mostly material for supplementing her body. The Queen was not physically troubled, but mentally troubled. It was an easy thing to deal with.

Aunt Nan was delighted too, but Susu, who was still young and naive, still could not understand the whole story, so she stood feeling worried with Seven in her arms.

When Gu Chaoyan left, she had a brief fun time with Seven. That made Susu feel much better.

Mr. Zhao got up and went away with Gu Chaoyan, though he had been seated still for a long while.

They two walked out of the Weiyang Palace and came to the gate, then they started to head towards the outer of the court for their own wagons.

The wagons arrived at the mansion safe and sound.

Since the mansion had no board yet, it was tentatively considered as the Mansion.

As they walked inside, Zhao Yiqiu said with determination next to Gu Chaoyan. “I have made up my mind.”

“Oh yeah, what is it, Mr. Zhao?” Gu Chaoyan was somewhat confused.
