Chapter 823 Why Not

The moment the King finished speaking, everyone in the room focused on the King, especially Aunt Nan who did not make a move even after she heard the order. The King had the right to make everyone obey him, and Aunt Nan would follow the order regarding other things, but not this one.

The Queen had shown her displeasure at seeing the King a while ago, and the Queen did not want the King to feed her the medical meal, let alone allow him to stay overnight.

The Queen had not been in a good state and she was not feeling well. If the order was obeyed, the Queen would not be able to fall asleep again tonight.

Therefore Aunt Nan was not happy to obey the order, but the King was, after all, the King. She could not just counter him. So she stayed silent without doing anything. Hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan said directly, “King, I am afraid that won’t work.”

“The Queen has not been in a good state and she has not had a peaceful sleep at night. Aunt Nan has been taking care of the Queen during the past period, and she knows pretty well what will happen and what to do when something like that happens. How would you be able to handle the emergency, if something unexpected happens?”

“Also, the Queen is suffering from a cold, originally speaking. A cold is a very contagious disease. We have the silvery wormwood inside the room, yet people still get infected. We can’t stay in the room for too long, and you are the King who has to watch over the world so you should not make such impulsive decisions.”

Gu Chaoyan was not putting the point straightforwardly, but she was telling the King that it was not proper to spend the night here.

The King would have countered her words at the beginning, but when he heard the second part of her words the King started to think…

A cold could be either big or small. Although most people could get better after they took the medicine, there were accidents too, where people passed away when they were not cured.

So normally, when princesses got cold and did not spend the night with the King, they just did not want to infect the King who should stay healthy for the court. And yet he had come to the town to visit Jiang Shuang and took care of her… so he had already done a lot as a King and had gone beyond necessity. So he was very satisfied with himself. In that case, he did not have to stay here.

After some consideration, the King nodded. “Chaoyan is right. If that is the case, then Aunt Nan, take good care of the Queen and I will take a break somewhere else. I will come and see you tomorrow.”

Having said this, the King took a look at the Queen.

The Queen did not look at him nor was she bothered to talk with him. However, the King did not get angry, but said with a small voice. “Take care, and I will visit you tomorrow. I will stay in the town these days and keep you company. Do get well.”

The King sounded as if he were giving an order.

Finally, the problem was solved.

When everyone else left, Aunt Nan remained in the room and took care of the Queen alone.

On the other side, the Empress Dowager heard the message from her spy.

The Empress Dowager asked as she looked at Honored Princess Jing. “Why did Gu Chaoyan stop the King from spending the night in Jiang Shuang’s room?”
