810: Proper Behaviors

Proper Behaviors

From that time on, Jiang Shuang started to treat him coldly and she started to get increasingly sick. By the end, she did not even want to come out of Weiyang Palace.1

When he went to visit her, she just laid in bed with a pale face, eyes drifting away. She refused to look at him or speak with him.

He had been worried at that time, but the Empress Dowager kept telling him that she was just suffering from a mental issue since she just could not understand what was going on.

He had thought that if she was given more time, she would get better. However, the Empress Dowager suggested that she should move to the town for better treatment.

He believed in what the Empress Dowager said, so he said yes when Jiang Shuang nodded at the proposal herself.

After she had been in the town for so long, the Empress Dowager kept assuring him that nothing was wrong.

He also thought that Jiang Shuang was almost healed and that she had been persuaded. He used to be a Prince and now he was the King. He was born as an imperial child, so his world was doomed to become complicated. He had to be tricky being where he was, and he thought that Jiang Shuang could understand his feelings and situation, since their children were already so grown up so that she could spend the rest of her life in her own palace, where he could give her a quiet environment, but ….

What he had heard was a different story.

Jiang Shuang was dying! How could that have happened? What on earth had happened in the process?

The King became rather confused. He just could not accept the truth, but he had to try to learn to accept the truth.

He just could not understand what happened for Jiang Shuang to have become like this.

The King had not yet thought it through, when The Empress Dowager arrived angrily.

"You are not allowed to visit the town!" The Empress Dowager shouted furiously.

She just hurried here from Cining Palace after hearing the news.

She knew that De Fu was not to be depended on.

She had arranged De Fu to serve the King, but this servant obeyed everything the King said, to the point that he ignored her totally. She was going to punish him later.

The most important thing was what happened to the King.

The Empress Dowager snapped. "Have you forgotten what the Jiang Family has done to you? You married Jiang Shuang because she was the only child from the Jiang Family and what you needed was to get their support. Now the Jiang Family has fallen and we have already found the Phoenix Girl, so why waste any more time on the Jiang Family? She is not worth your concern."

"…"

"Jiang Shuang is taking responsibilities for the Jiang Family and it is God's will that she is sick, so that she can atone her sin for you."

"…"

"She will never be cured, and I stopped you from knowing the truth because I don't want you to be affected! But now you are visiting her, do you understand that you can be infected if you are there?"

"…"

"I already made proper arrangements for her when she was allowed to move to the town. If she were here, everyone would get infected," the Empress Dowager said disdainfully.

Although the Queen was just suffering from a small cold, the Empress Dowager had to make it sound like a serious thing.

It was the only thing she could do at the moment.

What she needed to do was to make the King stay away from Jiang Shuang, and as for everything else, she could just wait and see.

The King suddenly fell silent and fixed his gaze on the Empress Dowager, looking very ferocious.
