Protest

"Your father bullied me because I had no power, and I held the grudge for so many years. I have made use of you, yet I have been treating you very nicely. Apart from Honored Princess Jing who had to be promoted, I have not held any selection of new girls just because you don't like it. No new girls have come to the court."2

"…"

"That is how I treat you! You like me for real, so you should forgive me for venting out my anger. You should not think about too many things making you get sick again. There are still decades for you to live, how would you live through that? I can't live without you!"

"…"

"The Empress Dowager is old and should not be in charge of the affairs all the time. Honored Princess Jing is holding the authority token, but she is just an Honored Princess. You are the Queen and no one is better than you," the King said.

He had sensed how incapable Honored Princess Jing was after a series of events held in the court.

When Jiang Shuang was in charge, she did not embarrass any of the women in the court, even though she did not like them. She would always treat them equally, but Honored Princess Jing was different.

Honored Princess Jing was never fair and complaints arose everywhere.

Honored Princess Jing had also been picking on the newly-selected young maids, and that was totally unnecessary.

The King felt that Jiang Shuang was better. He did not want her to be away from his side.

Seeing that Jiang Shuang was so sick, he sighed and said as he looked at Jiang Shuang, "You should not dwell on too many things now. Eat the medicine and get better. You will still be the Queen and the Eighth Son will still be Lord Huai. I have no grudge towards you any more. I will make you live a better life, alright?"

As he was speaking, Aunt Nan could not feed the Queen the medical meal so she frowned.

The Queen nodded lightly. She told Aunt Nan to come and feed her, ignoring the King.

Only now did Aunt Nan continue to feed the medical meal.

The King stretched out his hands and said, "Just give it to me."

The Queen was not in a good state at the moment, so the King thought that if he showed some care, she might feel better.

The Queen, however, cringed subconsciously. "No need, just let Aunt Nan do that. I am used to her feeding me."

Hearing these words, the King thought that she was being childish. So he ignored her words.

He took the food from Aunt Nan's hands and was about to feed her, saying, "You don't have to be polite. I am the King, but I am here to take care of you, everything will be fine as long as you are awake."

Then he started to feed the Queen.

Aunt Nan stood next to them and sighed inwardly.

If the King had behaved like this earlier, the Queen would have been delighted, but now, honey had become a drug.

The King was so selfish. He pretended to be caring in the past, but now, he was indeed showing the selfish part of himself.

The Queen was so sick already, but all he had been thinking about was how uncomfortable he would be without her around.

The King gave two spoonfuls of food to the Queen, before she turned around.
