Chapter 561: No More
He took the teacup and sipped. “You know pretty well that I am not used to living in the court.”
The King smiled and waved his hands. “Yeah, I just hope that you can have better access. If you are not used to living here, then just settle down outside the court.”
Zhao Yiqiu nodded, then he got up and waved goodbye to the King.
The King did not stand up, but sat still in his chair. He asked his Eunuch-in-Chief to see him off whilst he himself stayed to read through the petitions.
Zhao Yiqiu asked the Eunuch to leave as they came out of the Imperial Study. Then he left the court by himself.
He had not been in the court for ages, but Zhao Yiqiu knew the court well. So he found the exit.
As he came out of the gate, Zhou Huaijin was waiting for Zhao Yiqiu.
Zhao Yiqiu was not surprised to see Zhou Huaijin, but said calmly, “You are going out of the court too?”
Zhou Huaijin suggested that they should leave together, and Zhao Yiqiu did not turn that offer down. They were walking shoulder to shoulder.
Zhou Huaijin was not a chit-chatter, and he knew Zhao Yiqiu’s personality well, so he asked straightforwardly, “Mr. Zhao, how is my father?”
“You know well, Lord Huai, I am a doctor and I can’t reveal his situation. If you care about him, you should ask him directly,” Zhao Yiqiu said.
Zhou Huaijin nodded. Just as he had expected, Zhao Yiqiu was not telling. This man was still the one he had remembered.
He had not liked Zhao Yiqiu before, since he considered this man as someone really traditional who always lived in the frame. He did not even go after the person he liked.
Now he understood Zhao Yiqiu well and even admired him somehow. He was always a man who was inside the frame, someone who was totally self-disciplined. That was something his father just could not do. That was why his mother suffered from misery.
Zhou Huaijin stopped thinking about these and asked. “You have found a place to settle down?”
“Not yet,” Zhao Yiqiu said calmly. He never had this kind of plan. He always followed the situation. When he received the letters from the King, he came to the court directly rather than taking care of his own accomodation.
“Then let me get a place for you to settle down.” Zhou Huaijin said with a smile, “And you can meet my future Princess Consort. She is an excellent doctor too.”
Zhao Yiqiu threw a surprised look at him.
Had there ever been anyone who could claim to be an excellent doctor in front of him?
Judging from Zhou Huaijin’s confident tone, he could tell that this was indeed a skilled doctor. He had been gone from the capital for just a few years and now such an excellent figure had arisen?
Zhao Yiqiu nodded. “Okay.”
Zhou Huaijin started to lead the way for him.

At the Gu Mansion.
Mrs. Gu came back to the mansion with Gu Yunhe, looking completely embarrassed and messy. Gu Ruxue, who looked very unwilling, was following behind.
Gu Zhenkang asked excitedly seeing them, “How is it, did you do it?”
Mrs. Gu was extremely annoyed.
“Do not ever mention this!” Mrs. Gu said, “Never think about marrying the Princess!”
Then she took Gu Yunhe to take a seat in the hall. She shouted as her son was seated. “Where is the bitch Gu Chaoyan? Get her to treat Yunhe!”
