Chapter 871: How?

“However, I don’t care about bloodline, nor do I care if your future heir is from the Yao Family. I only care about you, as long as you are well, and as long as the future heir has your bloodline,” Honored Princess Jing said.

Huailing was her only child. She did not care about her future grandson, but her present son.

Zhou Huailing felt extremely moved.

Although his mother wasn’t born well, she only cared about him.

If his mother had not told him about any of these, he would have been stuck in the lies. He had not expected that the Empress Dowager had such a plan when she suggested selecting a Princess Concubine for him.

He felt both shocked and angry.

He took hold of Honored Princess Jing’s hands and said, “Mother, don’t worry, I will serve you well. If you want to be the Queen, but the Empress Dowager doesn’t want to help you, I can help you. Let me speak with my father!”

Honored Princess Jing nodded with a small smile.

Huailing was already the heir, so his words counted. When he suggested that personally, Honored Princess Jing was fully confident that she did not have to wait until the end of the year.

As for the Empress Dowager… well, just leave it.

It was her luck that her son was helping her, and the plan would work perfectly!

Honored Princess Jing smiled in delight.

It was best that her son respected and helped her.

Zhou Huailing said a few more words to Honored Princess Jing in the court before leaving.

He had thought that he was going to be greeted with good news, but instead of hearing anything pleasant, he heard some evil plans.

Zhou Huailing returned to his own mansion with a sunken expression.

The mansion remained the same, except that the plaque had been changed into the Heir’s Mansion.

Normally, an heir should be given a new mansion after the ceremony, but due to the lack of preparations, no new mansion had been built. They had to wait.

There were too many small things going on nowadays, so the waiting would take even longer.

Zhou Huailing did not stress about this thing any more, since he wasn’t in need to move into a new mansion.

He had just walked into the mansion when Zhou Huailing saw Gu Ruxue waiting for him in the yard. She asked. “How did it go?”

Zhou Huailing shook his head in distress.

Gu Ruxue was surprised.

That had sounded like a very reasonable request, so why did it not work out?

Honored Princess Jing was the heir’s mother, and she, the Phoenix Girl, had married the heir too. Honored Princess Jing should be granted the title of Queen, and bring auspiciousness to the people. That sounded like a great thing!

Zhou Huailing glanced about the yard and felt that it wasn’t a safe place for conversations, so he said discreetly, “Let’s go into the room. I need to speak with you about something.”

Gu Ruxue’s face sank and she followed him into the room.

Zhou Huailing looked at Gu Ruxue.

It was quite lucky of him to have married Gu Ruxue, because he met Destiny Monk first and got to know about the existence of the Phoenix Girl.

That was why he found Ruxue and married her when she was still nobody.

However, they had no children at the moment, so everything could be changed at any time.

Apart from winning the ministers’ support, he had to win Ruxue’s heart completely so that she would not turn to someone else for her own interest.

“Ruxue…”
