1376 Disapproval
The King said this casually, because in his opinion, it was just something they must do.
The Saint Divine Land was in a very serious position and had lost a few towns. What happened to Xinzhou seemed to be heading in a good direction, and the Crown Prince should have the ability to reclaim all the lost towns. There would be a lot of deaths and injuries when war started, and those soldiers were not important, yet the Crown Prince Consort and the Crown Prince should be well protected. If the Crown Prince got injured like Duke North, he would need someone with good medical skills close to him.
When he made the arrangement to bring Lord Huai and Chaoyan back to the capital, he did not think of how skillful Gu Chaoyan was, and that she should stay at Xinzhou. He just thought that she was a woman who should return with her fiance, but before they were able to arrive at the capital… the Crown Prince wrote an urgent letter, saying that Gu Chaoyan should be left at Xinzhou.
He thought that Gu Chaoyan should be made use of by staying at Xinzhou. She was a skillful doctor and she could not only guarantee the Crown Prince’s security but also the soldiers’ safety. She could even check on other soldiers at the same time.
That was why he gave the order directly…
The words had just been spoken… and the King was still worried that his son and Gu Chaoyan would not understand his intention, so he explained. “Military doctors at the border are always running short. The Crown Prince took ten imperial doctors with him apart from five well-trained soldiers when he went to Xinzhou, but those imperial doctors are not as skillful as you, Lady Chaoyan, and they can’t bring the dead back to life. So Lady Chaoyan, you need to be at Xinzhou to offer help, so it would be safer for the Crown Prince.”
“…”
“It is a very serious situation at the moment, so we don’t care about etiquette. The civilians and the soldiers’ lives matter the most.”
“…”
“You are not living with the Gu Family, and you have no pressure on your shoulders. You don’t need to worry that your fiance will care about that. When you come back with victory, I promise to give you many awards.”
“…”
“Got it?” The King spoke loudly and clearly.
He didn’t think that there was any reason for them to turn it down.
His Eighth Son was always obedient so he did not think that he would object. He said this much only because he wanted to convince Gu Chaoyan so that she would work more at Xinzhou.
He picked up his teacup and sipped the tea.
The King looked so relaxed as he waited for Gu Chaoyan’s positive reply.
Before Gu Chaoyan was able to answer the King… Zhou Huaijin said straightforwardly, “No, she can’t go there. I object.”
“…”
“She is a girl and is engaged to me, how can she just go to the border like this? I am going to go with her if you want her to be there.”
Zhou Huaijin looked determined, not wanting to make any compromise.
The King was very surprised.
He started to look furious and frowned. “There is no way for you to object!”
“…”
“This is a very serious time so you can’t just think about those small things. The Crown Prince Consort is a woman too, and she is in Xinzhou already!”
“…”
“I am not here to discuss with you. I am just informing you that you should do so!”
