Ms. Doctor Divine

The King made the decision directly without any consideration and hesitation.

The Eighth Son needed to come back to the capital.

The reason why he arranged this son of his to Xinzhou was because he expected that as a Lord, he was in the right position to be the chief.

However, he had not expected that this son of his would be lucky enough to defend Xinzhou!

If he continued to remain at Xinzhou, he would create endless potential trouble. All the civilians, including those in the lost towns and in the capital, were very frightened that the enemies would march to the capital. General Liu was injured and Duke North failed, so if Lord Huai won the battle, the civilians would support him like a god.

He was not going to allow this son of his to reach this kind of position, because he was part of the Jiang Family. He did not even want to keep this son of his.

However, though the Queen and General Jiang were gone, Madame Jiang was still alive. He thought about letting this son of his just live in the capital, which was all he could do. The Queen would have understood his decision as well.

However, he was not going to allow this son to be awarded for what he did to Xinzhou.

He let out a sigh of relief when he asked De Fu to make the imperial order.

De Fu paused.

Xinzhou was defended which should be good news! That basically meant that the rest of the towns of the Saint Divine Land would not fall and they might even reclaim Ning County!

He had thought that the King would ask him to give an imperial order for Lord Huai to reclaim the lost towns, yet the fact was that he was summoning Lord Huai home.

It would be a huge loss for the border and the Saint Divine Land for Lord Huai to come back.

De Fu just did not understand what was going on.

He slowed down in making the imperial order. He hoped that the King would calm himself down and make the right decision. If the imperial order was written, nothing could be changed.

The King never noticed this. In his heart, he had to bring this son back, and he was thinking about who to send to Xinzhou instead.

All the officers filled up the court when it was peaceful, but when it was time for him to make a decision, he realized that none of them were qualified.

He would need to pick someone from the noble families since none of the ministers and officers worked.

The Yao Family, or maybe the Min Family? Could anyone from the two families be qualified enough?

The King was very bothered.

Zhou Huailing looked up at the King a few times, but the King did not notice.

Zhou Huailing was quite confused inwardly as well. Xinzhou had been defended, and the North Qi Land had failed the battle, so the Saint Divine Land should be in a very advantageous position. Therefore, anyone who went there would be taking over a very good situation.

He wanted to go there personally so that he could be rewarded for that, but the border was very dangerous and he was the Crown Prince, so he should not get hurt.

Therefore… he was trying to make a decision at the moment, but Junyi was not next to him, so he was stuck with his own confusion.

After a while…

Zhou Huailing made up his mind and said, "Father, please send me to Xinzhou once Eighth Brother comes back."
