Chapter 857 Lost Soul

She said Zhou Sheng, take my hands.

That was when she just pa.s.sed her Adulthood Ceremony and they were not engaged. They decided to be together without telling anyone else. He did not want to take her hands, but Jiang Shuang liked him deeply. She was always smiling in front of him, and that made him feel not as uncomfortable any more.

Maybe from that time on, he felt that Jiang Shuang and Jiang Shang were just different people, but It seemed that they were the same after all.

He almost could not understand himself, but inside his head, he kept thinking of the young maid who asked him to take her hands.

King, De Fu said lightly as he reminded the King. He had already lost himself in front of the officers from the Ministry of Rites.

The King s.h.i.+vered. He looked at De Fu who had already aged so much.

There was no maid, nor were there any roses. Had Jiang Shuang really pa.s.sed away? The King stood up suddenly and said, I am going to the town now!

That was the decision he made subconsciously. He was going to see it himself. He just could not believe what he had heard!

Maybe it was Jiang Shuang who lied to him! He was going to punish her if he found that she was playing with him. He just remembered that he had never punished her for real even after so many years, though he had always tried to use her.

Without even taking the time to get dressed, the King left in a hurry.

The officers from the Ministry of Rites wiped their sweat and let out a sigh of relief.

It was almost impossible to guess what the King was thinking. No one could tell who he really cared for, and what.

If they had mentioned about the heir a moment ago just because the heir was still alive, they would have fallen into trouble.

Even though the King was away none of them dared to leave.

Those officers did not dare to leave without the Kings order, but continued to sit here in silence.

The King was urging the wagon to drive faster towards the town.

That town remained the same. He was here a while ago, but something had changed there. Something was different!

He hurried to the yard where the Queen lived.

Many people were already on their knees outside, including the imperial army and the cleaning maids.

The King was panicking. He could not catch his breath.

Only when their masters were gone would they be on their knees. And that was what it was like now!

That was impossible!

The King rushed inside.

Zhou Huaijin and Aunt Nan were all on their knees. Only Zhao Yiqiu was standing.

Zhao Yiqiu kneeled down for no one, including the King.

The King gave Zhao Yiqiu a punch, but he dodged.

He would not have dodged if the King had not behaved as he had before, but Zhou Sheng had no right to punch him.

Zhao Yiqiu gripped the Kings hands. He said to the King with a calm expression on his face. I am a doctor, but I am not a G.o.d. I cant bring everyone back to life. You have to blame yourself Zhou Sheng, just think whether you have the right to blame me!

The King got rid of his grip.

The right to blame him? No, he did not! He knew that directly!

He kneeled down by the bedside and looked at the pale face. He caressed her face which showed no warmth.

Zhao Yiqiu looked at the King and said, Zhou Sheng
