That was an idea that came to the King subconsciously. He had considered the potential danger in the town, but not the Queen’s sickness. He would like to see her personally, and bring her back no matter what.

When the Empress Dowager heard what the King said, she was startled.

Going to visit her personally? That would not work.

The Queen had been sick for too long and she was so pale-looking! For one thing, the King would probably get affected, and for another, he might feel guilty and concerned at the sight of her. If he got concerned, he might feel the old affection returning to him and that was something she would not allow to happen. So she stopped and said, “Not right now.”

“It is still the Spring Hunt, and the princes as well as the amba.s.sadors of other countries are still here! Also, the issue about Xunyang is still a problem for you to solve right now! You have to deal with these urgent affairs first. If the Queen gets better during the process and becomes strong enough to travel with a wagon, then I can bring her back directly. If not, you can visit her at that point,” the Empress Dowager said persuasively.

When the King heard her words, he became troubled again.

The Spring Hunt was already finished, so there was nothing special about it now, but finding Xunyang was the most important thing of all.

After the Spring Hunt, the prince of North Qi was going home, and he was supposed to take Xunyang, but Xunyang was nowhere to be seen… who was going to be taken away by him?

If he had foreseen that something like this would happen, he would not have offered a portrait for him to see, so that he could just get one County Princess or Prefecture Princess to replace the real Princess’ place.

However, now Xuan Lin already knew what Xunyang looked like, so the issue would be harder to handle.

The King felt very annoyed when Xunyang was mentioned. So he gave up thinking about the Queen. He waved his hand and said, “Okay, mother, you are right, we will leave the Queen alone for the moment.”

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction. She was thinking about mentioning getting new princesses for the King, but Chu Tian, the Prime Minister arrived, so the Empress Dowager dropped the topic first and waited for the right moment.

“What is it, King?” Chu Tian asked cautiously.

“The most important thing is to find the Destiny Monk first, we can’t continue to be like this any more. Expand your search and add more men for it. The earlier, the better, otherwise the whole world might become chaotic! Also, keep this as a secret, and keep your mouths sealed!” The King stressed. As he mentioned this, he thought of the young man he saw in the Spring Hunt. “I think your son Chu Yu is a nice person, bring him along with you, and find the Destiny Monk as soon as possible!”

Hearing that the King was in such a hurry, Chu Tian believed that something important must be happening. so he nodded constantly, but he asked curiously, “King, is it because of the black giant serpent?”

The King nodded, but he said nothing more, “It is very important, so don’t ask any more questions, just start your search now.”

Chu Tian understood, then he hurried away from the court.

When he was done with Chu Tian, the King was thinking about how to deal with the issue of Xunyang, so he turned to De Fu. “Go and bring Honored Princess Jing here.”

Instead of asking anything more, De Fu hurried away.

***

Honored Princess Jing had been inside her palace all this while and had no idea what was happening. She believed that she was asked for by the King because of Zhou Huailing.

“King, is it something to do with Ling?” Honored Princess Jing asked anxiously.

The King waved his hands, suggesting that she should sit down.

Honored Princess Jing took the seat and the King looked straight into her eyes. “Honored Princess, you should know that the heir has not been announced, but…”
