Chapter 681: For Me
“But he has changed, which I am totally aware of. What I need to know is what has made him change? When I get the answer, I will not need to stay in the court any more. So the token and the palace are nothing I need to care about. What I need is just an answer,” the Queen said calmly.
She was a woman who cared, but that did not necessarily mean that she needed to depend on someone to live.
If that man’s heart went somewhere else, then she would not try to get him back. What she needed was to understand what made him change.
Aunt Nan nodded. She was like the deceased General, who could tell right from wrong, but she was truly worried for her Miss.

The following day.
It was time for the King and Xuan Lin to visit the mounts. He asked his Eunuch to bring Zhou Huailing to the court as well.
Zhou Huailing was very surprised the moment he walked into the Qianqing Palace.
“Father, what makes you look so pale? Didn’t you have a good sleep last night?” Zhou Huailing asked concernedly.
His father was in his prime. His father should not have become so pale even after staying up for too long.
It was the first time for Zhou Huailing to see his father looking so pale. He was not very worried, and instead felt slightly glad. He had already reached adulthood, and his father was still in his prime and he would have to wait until his father passed before being able to get the throne, but that would take a long time.
However, if his father was not doing well… then that day would arrive faster than expected and his way towards the throne would be even easier. However, he had to conceal his true thoughts and show care on the surface.
The King was indeed in a bad state. Otherwise he would not have asked Zhou Huailing to meet him in the court.
Hearing that his son was caring about him, the King felt quite satisfied. It pleased him a great deal.
“I just had a bad sleep, so you will have to do the business for me. When the Prince is here, do remember to be modest. We have to get what we need first, that is the key to success. We can leave the rest for later.
“Also, your mother will be granted the title of Honored Princess, and the token will be given to her too. You don’t have to be restricted to any rules in the future, any more,” the King said seriously.
Hearing these words, Zhou Huailing became quite enlightened. So his mother was going to become the Honored Princess, in charge of the princess’ affairs? That was almost like the Queen!
It was just one final step for her to take the title of the Queen, and he believed that it would happen very soon. He was going to have his head raised high up in the air from this moment on.
Zhou Huailing bowed happily, “Thank you, father!”
The King felt better, waved his hands and asked Zhou Huailing to get up.
Xuan Lin had just arrived as well. The moment he arrived, he saw Zhou Huailing and felt quite displeased. He frowned and asked, “King, what is he doing here?”
“I am not feeling well these days, so I won’t be viewing the mounts. Lord Ling will do that on my behalf,” the King said with a reasonable tone.
Xuan Lin heard the words..
