Ms. Doctor Divine

1801 Together 1
However…
It was alright.
After their return from Snow Territory, once the poison was detoxified, they would still have ample time to talk and spend quality time together. They could look forward to a peaceful life ahead.
...
Huaijin was now the King, burdened with the responsibilities of taking care of his people. It was only natural that he had to devote his attention to their welfare.
Gu Chaoyan took a sip of tea, feeling a sense of irritation dissipate.
Setting down the teacup, she noticed a familiar yellow figure approaching.
It was Zhou Huaijin, wearing a smile.
Tomorrow was her departure day, and he had come to bid her farewell.
Gu Chaoyan was about to speak when Zhou Huaijin took a seat and said, “Prime Minister Chu is overseeing matters at Shiling Palace, and General Liu will handle other affairs. Elder Miss of the Chu Family and Ms. Yun are also offering their assistance. Lord Yan will take charge of the court, with Lord Yu’s support.”
“…”
“I have arranged for two-thirds of the Shadow Door personnel to stay behind, while the remaining one-third will accompany us to Snow Territory.”
“…”
“Everything has been settled. Let’s take a well-deserved rest and depart tomorrow,” Zhou Huaijin concluded with directness.
Gu Chaoyan was taken aback, feeling a surge of surprise.
So, he had been absent these days because he was busy handling court affairs in order to join her on the trip to Snow Territory?
Tears welled up in Gu Chaoyan’s eyes.
Who else in this world would be so considerate and kind to her?
Despite his arrangements, Gu Chaoyan still felt a sense of unease. She spoke up, “You have to stay and govern the country. You don’t need to worry too much about me during the journey to Snow Territory. Having hidden guards should be sufficient.”
Before Gu Chaoyan could finish her words, Zhou Huaijin gently placed a finger on her lips, urging her to stop.
“The throne is important, but to me, you are more important. Doing everything I can for you is what I want in life. I only desire to have you by my side,” Zhou Huaijin expressed to Gu Chaoyan.
For him, if anything were to happen to her, all the efforts put into running a prosperous country would lose their meaning.
Zhou Huaijin was not going to entertain any counterarguments on this matter.
Later on, he insisted that Gu Chaoyan take a break and not dwell on it any further.
The next day, the people from Snow Territory gathered outside the capital, and Zhou Huaijin joined them, accompanied by one-third of the hidden guards, along with Gu Chaoyan.
Ouyang Mingjing found nothing unusual about the presence of so many members of the Shadow Door accompanying Phoenix Girl. After all, Phoenix Girl held a special place in the King’s heart, and it was only natural for him to arrange a considerable number of people to accompany them on the journey.
But in front of the guards from Snow Territory, these people seemed insignificant, like ants.
Ouyang Mingjing didn’t mind or pay much attention. After all, it was the King’s prerogative to do as he pleased with his own people.
Ouyang Mingjing glanced at them and signaled to Longqing, “Inform them that it’s getting late and we should depart immediately. We can’t afford to delay any longer.”
Longqing nodded and went to relay the order.
The curtains of the carriage were drawn back, and Ouyang Mingjing continued to observe. He thought that Phoenix Girl was trying to acknowledge his presence.
Behind the curtains…
Zhou Huaijin nodded in acknowledgment towards Ouyang Mingjing as a form of greeting.
