âConsider the token and provide the King with your answer by the morning session. If youâre unsure of how to decide, discuss it with your wife. I came here specifically to discuss this matter with you. If you have nothing else to say, I, as the Queen, will take my leave. Save your efforts,â Gu Chaoyan spoke softly.
Zheng Chenyi smiled once again.
She emphasized her role as the Queen. She made that point quite clear.
Zheng Chenyiâs displeasure grew, his emotions boiling. He took a few steps forward, intending to reach out to her, but his shoulders were restrained by the guards standing beside him. Finally, he managed to rein himself in and stabilize his posture.
He truly desired to keep her, for he disliked how she emphasized her title. However, upon reflection, he realized that it was not yet the opportune moment.
It wasnât the right time after all.
Even if he were to force her to stay, he would only long for her presence and invite unnecessary trouble upon himself, thus thwarting all his plans.
If he wanted to succeed, he needed to maintain a low profile.
Only through this approach could he achieve his goals.
Zheng Chenyi gritted his teeth and exhaled deeply.
Gu Chaoyan and her guards were already far gone.
Gu Ruxue emerged from a nearby room, gazing in the direction of Gu Chaoyanâs departure, and then at Zheng Chenyi. She shook her head, remarking, âI donât understand whatâs so exceptional about her. So many men are willing to sacrifice so much to win her over!â
She did not come from a prestigious family.
Gu Ruxue believed that she herself was more beautiful because, despite Gu Chaoyanâs improved appearance, she still had the frightening red birthmark on her face.
Zheng Chenyi glared at Gu Ruxue fiercely, his expression indicating that he was on the verge of retaliating if she uttered another derogatory comment about Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Ruxue shrank back in fear.
Although Zheng Chenyi had approached her willingly, she understood his capabilities and knew that she needed his assistance. Therefore, she couldnât afford to offend him with reckless behavior.
She was not allowed to speak ill of Gu Chaoyan.
That was something she was capable of restraining herself from doing.
Since her arrival at Duke North Mansion, she had been forbidden from criticizing Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Ruxue pursed her lips and left the scene.
Zheng Chenyiâs anger subsided, and his gaze shifted.
Gu Chaoyan was currently en route back to the court in her carriage.
That was the extent of what she could do to aid him.
âElder Miss, do you think Duke North would want to keep the military authority?â Sword One asked, feeling unsure.
Elder Miss did not seem to have witnessed what Duke North really wanted, though she paid a visit to him personally.
Gu Chaoyan also shook her head.
Zheng Chenyi had always been an open and transparent person, incapable of concealing his thoughts. However, he now seemed much more enigmatic, and she couldnât fully understand him.
At this point, Zhou Huaijin should prioritize his concerns about Duke North and his well-being over the matter of military authority.
Gu Chaoyan was lost in thought when she suddenly heard commotion outside the carriage.
