Ms. Doctor Divine - Chapter 873
Chapter 873: No More Talks
At the Qianqing Palace.
The King was seated in the dragon chair and frowned. He looked at Zhou Huaijin who was kneeling on the ground, asking, “Why?”
During the past few days, the funeral of the Queen and the Endowment Ceremony of the heir had tired him out. After the series of events, he finally managed to take a break, yet the Empress Dowager asked him about setting up the new Queen, which almost wore him out.
Now his Eighth Son was in the court, and he had thought that he was here visiting him.
Well…
He did not like this son, but he was Jiang Shuang’s son, so his visit would please him, if he could drop by now and then.

He and Jiang Shuang had a grudge with each other, but he did not hold any grudge against this son of his, but this son was here, telling him that he was leaving the city.
Why must he leave when the city was so huge? And he was not mistreating him either.
Lord Huai’s Mansion was the best one among those of all his sons, and he was well supplied as he lived inside too.
Now the Queen was gone, and this saddening thing was driving him away as well!
That made the King feel really uncomfortable.
Zhou Huaijin continued, despite the displeased look on the King’s face. “Father, I just want to take a trip somewhere outside the city. I am not loaded with any work, and Chaoyan needs to find some herbs, so I will keep her company. Sixth Brother is in the capital too, and he would like to have a trip somewhere else too. So I can keep him company as well. Please, approve our trip, father.”
The Sixth Brother?
Huaiyu was his sixth son, whose mother passed away when she gave birth to him.
He was raised by the nannies and moved to his own mansion when he was only ten, and all he did every day was to have fun everywhere. He established some relationships with some business people when he was only 15 years old. He was quite interested in business, so he had some casinos opened in the capital, and traveled a lot too.
He had never paid attention to him.
His mother’s family was just a minor officer, so he was definitely not going to be one of the heir candidates.
So he could just be devoted to business, as he liked it. In this way, he was never in the position of try to steal the throne. That was why he was never restricted from doing anything.
Now his Eighth son was hanging out with the Sixth son… so he believed that it was because they got on well with each other.
If he could travel with the sixth son and do some business like opening casinos, then it was very good since he would not think about stealing the throne either.
Now that the Queen was gone…
Well…
He had made a promise that he would guarantee the well-being of his eighth brother.
It seemed like a good thing, if he could hang out with the sixth son nowadays. He did not have to make him stay in the capital.
The King nodded as he thought about this. “Sixth Son likes traveling, and he is very experienced. You would not have any trouble being around him. Just go traveling with him, and get yourself a nice treat.”
“…”
“You can just leave whenever you want it, and get a messenger to pass on the message. You don’t have to come here to tell me personally.”
The King thought it through and passed on the approval directly.
Zhou Huaijin had a weird complication in his eyes. He nodded and said yes, then he left.
At this moment, Zhou Huailing walked in and frowned in displeasure at the sight of Zhou Huaijin.
“Father, I have something to talk about with you.”
