1457 Dark Plans
The King felt really excited when Gu Chaoyan agreed to the suggestion. What mattered the most was to let Gu Chaoyan move back to the Gu Mansion. Now Gu Chaoyan approved of the suggestion of her own accord, saving him from having to order her to go there.
If they were delayed and Gu Chaoyan changed her mind suddenly, the whole plan would be ruined.
So he made the arrangement before Gu Zhenkang said anything more.
Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl, not the future Princess Consort of his eighth son and the outcast daughter of the Gu Family. He had to respect her and stop any arguments.
The King was in a good mood, but Gu Zhenkang wasn’t that pleased.
Right now?
He knew what Ruxue was like.
If he could have a nice talk with Ruxue about it so that she could be prepared, then the situation would not be that horrible, but this sudden visit might just kill Ruxue, who was living at Begonia Yard and needed to be moved out.
What should they do?
Ruxue was already so heart-broken when she learned that she was not the Phoenix Girl. And if she received another blow…
He could not bear to see his daughter suffering like this.
Gu Zhenkang was hesitant. He wanted to have a negotiation about it. “My King…”
The King got very annoyed seeing Gu Zhenkang’s hesitation. He glared at him and bellowed. “What are you hesitating about? You came to me to beg me to let the Phoenix Girl move back to the Gu Family, and I defended you too. The Phoenix Girl also agreed to move back. What are you hesitating for? If so, just let her stay here, she doesn’t need to go anywhere.”
The King was incredibly irritated by Gu Zhenkang.
He had thought about praising him a while ago, but he could not even settle the whole thing.
During the hesitation, the Phoenix Girl might change her mind. Then the whole plan would be ruined. She might not even want to go back to the Gu Mansion again.
The Crown Prince would have access to her if she moved back to Gu Mansion, otherwise he would not have wasted time in doing this.
He was angry beyond description.
If Gu Zhenkang was not the Phoenix Girl’s father, he would have given him more than just a bellowing order.
After being yelled at, Gu Zhenkang panicked. He had no mind for Gu Ruxue right now. If things went wrong, the Gu Mansion would collapse as well. Ruxue was not as important as the Gu Mansion.
Without hesitation, Gu Zhenkang said straightforwardly, “My King, it is my fault. I was just worried that I could not do a proper job for the Phoenix Girl.”
“…”
“But if Chief De Fu is with us, I believe that everything should be fine. Now it is still early, I will take the Phoenix Girl home,” Gu Zhenkang said, cringing and sweating.
The King was pleased.
When everything was settled… he thought for a while.
He still added. “De Fu, you should arrange some presents to accompany the Phoenix Girl out of the court.”
