Ms. Doctor Divine

"Duke North likes Elder Miss, and drugged himself because he wanted to meet Elder Miss, but Elder Miss may not be willing to see him again. You know that now, so don't talk about this further. Elder Miss will fix it herself." Sword One reminded him.

Only then did Li Qing understand what was going on.

He could now connect everything together - just as what Sword One said, it was clearly explained.

He currently worked for Lady Chaoyan, though he had not signed any contract, yet Li Qing already defaultly saw himself as someone working for Lady Chaoyan. It was a rule for him not to ask his employer unnecessary things.

Li Qing soon adjusted himself.

After a few words with Sword One and Fu Bao, he got up and returned to his own room.

No one else was in the room so Sword One glanced about, asking cautiously, "Lord and Elder Miss are in the court… will they be fine? I don't think that it is very safe for them."

Fu Bao chuckled and looked very relaxed.

He went to the window, looked outside at the snowflakes and said quietly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"…"

"Shadow Door is already stationed in every corner of the court."

"…"

"The King will fail his plan even if there is one."

Sword One was startled, but soon she smiled.

Shadow Door was a small organization, but it was getting larger year by year.

She had not been involved with what was going on inside the Shadow Door after she started serving Elder Miss. However, Shadow Door was growing extremely fast, beyond her imagination.

She felt that Shadow Door had become a very powerful existence.

Sword One asked no more.

"I will have the kitchen arrange some food," Sword One said and went back to her own business.

Fu Bao smiled and nodded.

Inside the court of the Saint Divine Land.

The snow was flying in June, and the palace was covered by snow.

Inside the court, the lights were bright, especially in the darkness.

Inside the court, the snow was everywhere. The eunuch didn't have time to sweep the floor, so they had to go over against the snow. Zhou Huaijin helped Gu Chaoyan along the way, in case she got tripped, so they were not walking very fast.

De Fu turned around and urged them, but whenever he turned around, he would see Lord Huai's eyes.

That look made him stop trying to urge them. He was very scared. As if he were going to be killed.

In the end, they came to Qianqing Palace in silence.

The King was always working at Qianqing Palace, reading letters. The study was abandoned, and he rarely went into the princesses' palaces.

When they entered Qianqing Palace, Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan greeted him.

Seated in the chair, the King looked as if he had been waiting for a long time, since he had finished the letters, and was reading a book.

As they walked in, the King put away the book.

He looked at them, but did not let them rise.
