Chapter 877: The Kings Feedback

He had promised his mother that he would help her to get the t.i.tle of Queen, but unexpectedly, his father vented his anger at him a moment ago.

He understood what his father meant, but he still felt quite scared. He was now the heir, but there was still some distance to go before the heir became the King.

There were so many previous examples about how an heir failed to become a King in the end, so he had to be cautious about this point. He was not powerful enough to be on his own.

The Prince from North Qi had promised to transport ten magical monsters to him, but they had not yet arrived. Xie Yan had been dispatched to negotiate with him, and if Xie Yan failed to return after this period, he was going to dispatch even more people to North Qi.

He only felt slightly more a.s.sured with ten magical monsters by his side.

Also, many important ministers had already taken their side with him. However, he knew clearly that those ministers, who were born from ordinary families, took a side when they had the chance, but they could deny their decisions, if anything unexpected happened in the court later.

Zhou Huailing was not stupid enough as not to realize this point. What he needed was the n.o.ble families.

Now he had no military power and only General Feng, who was in Jiayu Pa.s.s, decided to take his side, but General Feng was too far away.

The Huo Family was one of the promising families, except that the Huo Family had already been deterred and the Old Master of the Huo Family was none other than a Fourth Rank officer, who was capable of doing nothing important.

Then it came to his mothers family, namely the Yao Family.

The Yao Family had always kept a low-profile, but they were capable too. However, the Yao Family was not totally trustworthy, since the Empress Dowager, who was in the highest seat, was still in charge.

The Min Family had not yet taken a side by this point, and the Liu Family would not be so easily persuaded, due to what he did to Liu Qingqing. And even the Prime Minister Chu Family had not shown anything.

All of this had annoyed Zhou Huailing totally.

If all of these families had taken his side, he might have been more a.s.sured by this point.

Zhou Huailing sighed and walked into Honored Princess Jings chamber.

He greeted Honored Princess Jing.

Honored Princess Jing was full of expectations as she looked at Zhou Huailing. Her son was already the heir, so she confidently believed that she was going to get the position no matter what. Her son was going to be very devoted in helping her with this.

She got really excited, as she imagined how she would wear the red dresses officially in the court, as the Queen, but she tried to stay calm despite the hidden excitement. Instead of asking about what he had achieved, she asked concernedly, You have been to your fathers place?

Zhou Huailing nodded.

Sorry, mother, I am afraid I have to disappoint you, Zhou Huailing said with guilt. It was his mother sitting right in front of him and it was she to whom he made the promise. It was never a consolation when he failed to do it well.

Honored Princess Jing had been showing a cheerful expression on her face when suddenly, the news arrived and startled her. She just could not believe it. She showed a grievous smile.

And soon she regained her calmness, then she forced herself to ask a question. What did your father say?
