Ms. Doctor Divine

1634 Open and Fair 2

Gu Chaoyan spoke in a calm voice, but she sounded quite imposing to the imperial army.

The chief could not help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The King gave the order, but the Phoenix Girl gave another one. What should he do?

“Phoenix Girl, please, the King ordered that Lord Huai is to be grounded in the mansion. I am doing this based on the imperial order. Don’t make me make a choice, please. I can’t do anything about it,” the chief said, looking very pitiful. He hoped that the Phoenix Girl would not give them a hard time.

They were the group that could never speak with the Phoenix Girl, but… she was the Phoenix Girl and her news spread around.

!!

It was said that the Phoenix Girl had a weird temper, but she treated servants very nicely. Those servants who worked at the Gu Mansion, and those who served her but came from the court and those who were by her side shared almost the same privileges as their Miss.

So if he told her what was going on, she should not give him a hard time.

Gu Chaoyan glanced at him.

She said reasonably, “The King did ground Lord Huai, and didn’t want him to leave Lord Huai’s Mansion, but the King has never forbidden me to walk into Lord Huai’s Mansion. I am not disobeying the King’s order, and I am not asking Lord Huai to leave the mansion.”

Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s words, the chief was startled.

The Phoenix Girl was absolutely right.

He got the order to watch over Lord Huai, and that Lord Huai was not allowed to walk out of the mansion, but there was no order saying that there should not be any guests.

So it was a very reasonable request.

However, he was working for the court and he knew that the King wanted Lord Huai to die in the mansion alone.

Before… no one would dare go into the mansion without permission, so no one had predicted that the Phoenix Girl would come.

He was not in the position to stop her, so he stepped aside and told his men to pass on the message to the court.

Gu Chaoyan went directly into Lord Huai’s Mansion with a straight back, under the imperial army’s watch.

Sword One was chuckling after seeing how embarrassed the imperial army was.

Uncle Zhou came forward the moment she walked in. He glanced about and looked outside. “Lady Chaoyan, they did not give you a hard time, did they? You might get into trouble now that you have come here. Lady Chaoyan, just go back.”

Uncle Zhou made the speech, but he was very moved.

Everyone dodged Lord Huai when he was in trouble, but Lady Chaoyan was here.

What more could he say about this lady.

Gu Chaoyan smiled. “Uncle Zhou, it is fine. The King never said that we aren’t allowed to come to the mansion, did he? Where is Lord Huai? I would like to speak with him.”

“Reading in the Warm Pavilion, let me take you there,” Uncle Zhou said, worried.
