Chapter 1027: What Happened?

Gu Ruxue was not trying to counter Junyi, it was just that she never took what Junyi said and was going to report to heart. So she did not care about Junyi, and forgot that Junyi needed to speak with Zhou Huailing.

She was only thinking about herself.

She had been married to Lord for a long time, and intended to have a child with him, just as the King wanted them to. At first, she had been proud that she was approved by the Crown Prince [1.] and the King. However, she got a bit anxious these days.

That was because the Empress Dowager and Honored Princess Jing kept blaming her for not having advanced.

Lord had once mentioned to her that the Empress Dowager had some other plan, and that Honored Princess Jing also hoped that she could have a child first. She understood why Honored Princess Jing behaved like this, but she hated the Empress Dowager deeply inside her heart.

Since the Empress Dowager intended to have two ladies from the Yao Family have children first…

Therefore she was going to exceed them so that she could annoy that old lady.

Because of this plan going in her mind, Gu Ruxue had the idea of luring the Crown Prince to bed, seeing that only she and the Crown Prince were alone in the governmental office. Therefore, she mentioned this to him after dinner.

Zhou Huailing was about to go to bed with Gu Ruxue directly, but when he saw Junyi, he started to worry that he really had something important to report.

He consoled Gu Ruxue and said, “Ruxue, you can wait for me in the room. I will be there in a quarter hour.”

Gu Ruxue was a little displeased, but still nodded. Then she left with her maids.

Zhou Huailing took Junyi to his own room and asked anxiously, “Junyi, do you have anything important to report to me?”

Junyi’s expression had completely sunk.

The Crown Prince Consort was such an unreliable person! She was worse than an ordinary woman, let alone being the Phoenix Girl! Even an ordinary woman from a common family would not be so careless. However, he was not in a position to get angry.

Pressing down his anger, he said, “Crown Prince, it is just that I need to tell you what is going on at Li Village.”

Zhou Huailing nodded.

Junyi recounted the whole thing to Zhou Huailing.

Zhou Huailing had been displeased by Junyi’s long talk, but after he heard the report, he surveyed Junyi and remembered that he should tell his mother to arrange a suitor for Junyi.

Nevertheless he did not mention it.

He nodded. “Junyi, you have done a good job. We will do a perfect job within a couple of days!”

Having said this, he happily patted Junyi’s shoulders and headed towards his bedroom.

Junyi sighed, feeling a bit helpless…

However, that was all he could do at the moment. When the task was done, the King and the civilians as well as the ministers should be satisfied by tCrown Prince achievements. Junyi headed back to his own room and went to bed too.

***

The following day…

Early in the morning, Junyi got up and heard some sound of noisy and smashing things coming from the Crown Prince’s room. Then he saw a lot of guards surrounding it.

Not knowing what happened, Junyi hurried to the Crown Prince to check what was going on.
