Chapter 585: Got It or Not?

The King was very annoyed. That girl, who knew some medical knowledge, did not think of him as someone important.

Seeing the angry-looking King, Zhao Yiqiu felt pretty helpless. Well, no matter whether he had watched the process carefully enough or whether he was able to make the medical pills, he should not possibly steal other people’s medical skills and make them his own. Lady Chaoyan did not ask him to leave when she was treating the King, meaning that she trusted him. How could he do something like that to her?

However, Zhao Yiqiu still took the bottle of pills and took a sniff. He was not trying to figure out how to make the medicine, but whether the medicine had any problems.

When he was done, Zhao Yiqiu felt slightly surprised.

That was an amazing bottle of pills. Even he could not make any medicine like that.

“How is it?” the King asked concernedly.

“The pills are fine, amazing ones, I believe that you will get much better after you eat them, but these are not pills that detoxify your poison,” Zhao Yiqiu confessed honestly.

The King was very disappointed.

Zhao Yiqiu added. “Lady Chaoyan was very fast with acupuncture a moment ago, and she had great control of her strength. I would not have been as proficient as she was, honestly speaking.”

The King looked even more disappointed.

Zhou Huaijin was lucky enough to have married such a girl. She was young yet she already exceeded Zhao Yiqiu. That made her a special girl who might be both good news and bad news.

The King had a very complicated expression on his face. He waved at Zhao Yiqiu. “Yiqiu, please leave now.”

Zhao Yiqiu nodded and retired.

The moment Zhao Yiqiu left, the King asked the Eunuch to get Zhou Huailing.

When Zhou Huailing arrived, the King was staring at the bottle distractedly. He put away the bottle at the sight of Zhou Huailing, which made Zhou Huailing find it suspicious. He found this bottle quite familiar to him. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but he could not think of where exactly he had seen it.

Zhou Huailing was not stupid enough to ask the King, who was always dubious about everything, directly. He was pretty aware of this personality. So he asked straightforwardly. “Father, what do you need me for?”

“You put your staff as guards at the Gu Mansion’s doorsteps?” the King asked straightforwardly.

Zhou Huailing looked surprised and then confused too. He could not understand.

For a moment, he simply had no idea how to answer the question.

The King was not really seeking an answer, because he was already certain that those were Zhou Huailing’s men. So he said directly, “If those are your men, remove them and allow the Officer to take the stuff from the Gu Mansion. Don’t get involved with this matter any more.”

Now Zhou Huailing came back to himself. He was now certain that the King knew of this matter and he was going to have a hand in it.

He did not know why his father needed to get involved with this matter, but he did need those things, so he said embarrassedly, “Father, I need some money, we can’t give it to others.”

The King knocked at Zhou Huailing’s head directly. He was slightly annoyed.

Those things were not as important as his own physical condition! Yet he could not possibly reveal the truth.

The King said angrily, “I am the King and those things will be yours sooner or later. Give them first, and I will help you get those things back later.”

“Father, what happened?” Zhou Huailing asked.

The King squinted and looked at Zhou Huailing with a complicated look on his face.
