Chapter 717 - Persuasion

Seeing that Zhou Huaijin was here, Gu Chaoyan asked him to take a seat and then poured him a cup of tea, then she said calmly, "It is a good day today, so I asked Xiu Jie to check out if there is any store which will work for opening a clinic. I can start my own clinic when spring arrives, if there is any suitable place."

Gu Chaoyan had been thinking about opening a clinic for a long time, but she had been stuck with too many affairs so the plan had been postponed. During the past few days, she had been quite free so she asked Xiu Jie to look for a place first.

Xiu Jie had been hired for important affairs, so he should not just be a housekeeper in the mansion.

Gu Chaoyan had the intention of asking Xiu Jie to help her with the clinic, so she asked him to find a proper store just to see what he was thinking and how far he could go.

Zhou Huaijin nodded. He would normally give Gu Chaoyan all the help she wanted in the past, but now Gu Chaoyan had many capable staff around her so he decided not to get too involved.

He was here to have a chat with Gu Chaoyan.

They had just reached the topic of New Year's Eve when the enunches from the court arrived.

It was not De Fu, but the one working at the Qianqing Palace.

He came to ask Gu Chaoyan to pay a visit to the court.

Zhou Huaijin had no idea why Gu Chaoyan was asked to visit the court right now and what the King had in mind. So he got up and decided to follow her, as he felt quite una.s.sured.

The Eunuch looked at Zhou Huaijin and said politely. "Lord Huai, the King is asking Lady Chaoyan to join him alone."

Zhou Huaijin had a terrible look on his face.

What was going on?

Gu Chaoyan patted the back of his hand, telling him that everything would be fine.

Only then did Zhou Huaijin manage to calm down.

"Please lead the way," Gu Chaoyan said calmly and followed the eunuch.

Zhou Huaijin fell into contemplation at the sight of their retreating figures.

Gu Chaoyan was not worried. She did not think that the King would do anything to her. Well the King still needed her to heal his disease, so he could do nothing and dared not do anything when he had to depend on her.

Gu Chaoyan went peacefully into the court and politely greeted the King as she came to him.

Instead of letting her stay bent, the King asked her to get up directly.

"You are a skillful doctor, aren't you?" The King asked with a seemingly indifferent tone.

"Yes." Gu Chaoyan answered. Well, she was a capable person so she was able to help the King detoxify.

The King nodded.

With his gaze upon Gu Chaoyan he found her a little bit more comfortable to look at than before.

He put down the pet.i.tions and said with a complicated tone, "I asked you to come to the court, because I want you to check up on the Queen.

"For some reason, she has not recovered since the cold she caught last time. I thought that she would get better after a few days, but now the situation is getting worse. She did not even attend the imperial banquet yesterday! Which is something she has never done before. She has always been a healthy person who merely gets sick. She even joined me at the banquet despite any sickness. The imperial doctors in the court are all stupid and they can't even cure a cold!

"The Queen is Lord Huai's mother so I believe that you should check up on her.

"Also, one more thing," the King said, sounding quite hesitant.
