Chapter 1710 - 1710 All Settled 2



1710 All Settled 2

Even the most foolish soldiers would have understood the situation by now.

The imperial army was defenseless against the Shadow Door’s surprise attack. Unbeknownst to them, the Shadow Door had already infiltrated the court and taken control of the territory. The gate was not a defensive wall, and without the hidden guards’ mercy, the soldiers would have been wiped out.

The soldiers of the imperial army had one job: to protect the imperial court with their weapons.

The Shadow Door were from the society, and they were never allowed to take the throne, even if it meant that the imperial army died.

But…

The situation had changed…

The old King was dead.

And Lord Huai was Mr. Head of the Shadow Door.

And look at Lord Huai

He was born by the Queen, and he was the offspring of the Jiang Family.

If it was he who took the throne…

Then they did not have to stubbornly fight back.

Gongsun Ying, the head of the imperial army, dropped his weapon in response to Zhou Huaijin’s words.

Soon after, the other soldiers followed suit, laying down their weapons and surrendering to Zhou Huaijin’s authority.

They were more or less injured, so the moment they put down the weapons, they all let out a sigh of relief.

No one liked wars.

They had families and they wanted nothing more than to live in peace.

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

He asked Gongsun Ying to follow their original rules, and he would not have a hand in telling them what to do with it it.

That meant that he was not going to replace everyone from the court with his own men.

Gongsun Ying let out a sigh of relief and felt that he had survived a huge war.

After that was done…

Zhou Huaijin took Gu Chaoyan and walked into the Jinruan Palace.

“Are you tired? Would you like to take a break? There’s still some time before the morning session.” He sounded concerned about her well-being.

Zhou Huaijin had not wanted Gu Chaoyan to be involved in the attack on the palace. He had asked her to wait in the mansion and planned for her to come to the court once everything was settled.

But she still came.

In that case, he was going to take Chaoyan’s hands and continued.

It had been more like her world than his.

“No. Let’s go to the palace. All goes well, but we will have difficulties. We don’t know what the ministers want.” Gu Chaoyan said.

Zhou Huaijin chuckled.

He gave Gu Chaoyan’s hands a gentle squeeze and reassured her. “Don’t worry.”

“…”

“Those ministers were all helping the King. None of them stepped forward when the civilians were suffering.” Zhou Huaijin said furiously.

” “…”

“Some of them are not suitable to stay in the court.”

“…”

“People who are supposed to escort Prime Minister Chu and General Liu will be here soon.” Zhou Huaijin said to Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan felt completely reassured knowing that Prime Minister Chu and General Liu were present. Both were ministers who genuinely cared about the country and its people.

Upon their arrival at Jinruan Palace, they noticed that the Shadow Door had already reorganized the place.

There were two chairs in a row, not just one.

Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan took the seats.

Someone served the tea.

Gu Chaoyan found the simple seating arrangement to be refreshing. She had always disliked the rigid hierarchy and formality of the court. Zhou Huaijin found that totally understandable.

“The day is breaking soon.”
