Ms. Doctor Divine
Chapter 1375
1375 Satisfied?
The King had a very complicated look on his face. He seemed to be deeply observing the two people in front of him.
He did not think that Lord Huai would be able to defend Xinzhou when he first dispatched him there, but the result turned out to be different from what he had expected. Neither the ferocious General Liu nor the well-performing Crown Prince had been able to defend the towns of the Saint Divine Land, but Lord Huai did.
He knew that Lord Huai had made a big contribution to that victory, but… what a pity.
Unfortunately….
Lord Huai was born to the Jiang Family, and he would not give him any opportunities.
If it had been either Lord Yu or Lord Yan who had made this contribution, he would have been willing to offer a large bonus, but Lord Huai was different.
The King felt very conflicted.
He was the last person that should be given any rewards.
“Almost half of the participants had come to tell me about their arrival, and Duke North had sent his men to inform me about his injury, but what about you? You did not come to us until this time, until I told you to!”
“…”
“Eighth Son, do you still regard me as your father!” The King interrogated angrily, as he struck the table. The brush pen fell onto the floor, so De Fu picked it up and put it away.
Zhou Huaijin still had a very calm expression on his face.
He replied composedly. “It is my fault, sorry, father!”
Having heard that… and gotten nothing in return… the King got even angrier.
However, the King still tried to press down his anger.
Being angry was not what mattered right now – they needed to focus on something else which was more important.
The King was silent for a long time.
He continued. “You did well at Xinzhou, but you are still young and forgot about the basic manners to me. You should have been rewarded, but now I am taking all of it back as your punishment.”
“…”
“And you should stay in your mansion to reflect on yourself, and you don’t have to be at the morning sessions any more.”
“…”
“You did well at Xinzhou, but the soldiers there did better so they managed to defend Xinzhou. They plan to reclaim our lost towns, but you aren’t skilled enough to do so, thus the Crown Prince has been dispatched there. He is helping you so when he returns with victory, you should go and thank him.”
“…”
“You did well at the border, and you can have a good rest now. I will inform you if you are needed either in the court or in the palace.”
“…”
“Are you satisfied with this arrangement?” the King asked as he looked at Zhou Huaijin without expression.
Zhou Huaijin had no expression on his face either.
Then he nodded.
He accepted the arrangement.
Only now did the King feel slightly satisfied.
His Eighth Son was very dull and spoiled, and he was not as flattering as the Crown Prince, but his biggest merit was that he was very obedient and accepted everything he arranged for him.
That was why he was willing to keep his Eighth Son for Jiang Shuang’s sake.
When this arrangement was settled, the King looked more relaxed, but added one more thing before the couple left. “Eighth Son, you can take a good rest at your mansion, but Lady Chaoyan, you should get ready and head back to Xinzhou again.”
