849: The Second Concubine

The Second Concubine

Chu Tian had just let out a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard these words. He became nervous once again. Too many things were going on at the moment, and no one could tell what would happen. So Chu Tian was very nervous.0

"Yes?" Chu Tian had his head lowered politely, waiting for the King to answer him.

The King was very satisfied. He thought that he was in his best state at the moment, since Lord Ling was treating him politely, as were the important ministers in the court.

The King answered with a smaller voice as if he were showing care to his minister. "Lord Ling is still young and he is not capable enough. Now he is badly injured and you, the Prime Minister, should take good care of him, if you can."

Hearing these words, Chu Tian felt his heart skipping a beat.

Taking good care of Lord Ling? Could that be….

His confusion was solved…

The King was giving him a hint! He had not expected that the hint had become so obvious right now.

Chu Tian's heart was beating hard - he subconsciously wiped off the sweat on his head and answered politely, "I got it. I will."

The King felt so good when he saw Chu Tian panicking.

That was a good sign. The important ministers feared him, which meant that the King was still prevailing in their hearts.

When he finished speaking, the King waved happily, "Anyway, you can leave now."

Chu Tian answered politely, greeted him and retired.

When he left the imperial study, Chu Tian hurried home.

Something major was going to happen.

The heir had not been settled in the Saint Divine Land during the past few years, but now the heir was going to be announced soon.

Also, the heir was not Lord Huai, who was the Queen's son, but Lord Ling, who was Honored Princess Jing's son instead. What was he going to do? So what the King meant was that the Chu Family should take Lord Ling's side instead of staying neutral. However, the Chu Family had their rules - they should stand by the lineal children!

What was he going to do?

Chu Tian hurried back to the mansion and his back was filled with sweat since he was going so fast.

The moment he walked into the mansion, he asked for the Young Master directly.

He went into the lobby and started to drink tea one after another, until he almost got fed up with the tea when he finally stopped.

Chu Yu walked in.

Seeing his father, who had always been calm and steady, behaving so nervously, he realized that something was wrong. He asked in confusion. "What is it?"

"It seems that the heir is going to be settled these days," Chu Tian said with a small voice. He was worried that someone would be eavesdropping.

Chu Yu panicked.

Now? The King was still young and he did not think that something like this would happen to the Chu Family these years, but now? So…

"It is Lord Ling right?" Chu Yu asked.

Chu Tian nodded and looked at his son. He was glad that his son was aware of the situation.

Chu Tian sighed. He was just about to say something, when someone shouted loudly, "Officer, Second Concubine is here asking to see you,"
