Chapter 1518
1518 The Crown Prince 2
Gu Chaoyan nodded directly.
She was the Phoenix Girl, and a profit-seeking villain man like Zhou Huailing would keep pestering her, obviously, because what he had been aiming at was to get the Phoenix Girl so as to solidify his future throne.
That was fine, because Zhou Huailing was not a match against her.
“Don’t worry.” Gu Chaoyan consoled Zhou Huaijin. “He can’t do anything to me.”
!!
Zhou Huaijin nodded.
True, Zhou Huailing was not a match against Chaoyan, who would probably fire back at him, but he was very annoyed by his constant disturbance to Chaoyan.
It seemed that… he should ask the Shadow Door to find evidence of Gu Zhenkang and Mrs. Gu’s conspiracy of killing Ms. Lin as soon as possible, so that Chaoyan didn’t have to remain here for so long.
In this way, she could either go back to Xinlin Mansion or Lord Huai’s Mansion, so people like Zhou Huailing would not be able to get into the door to cause her any trouble.
Zhou Huaijin turned vicious as he thought about this.
Gu Chaoyan covered his hands after seeing his fury. “Don’t worry.”
Zhou Huaijin smiled gently.

In the hall.
Gu Zhenkang was smiling flatteringly as he looked at Zhou Huailing, saying politely, “Crown Prince, it is reasonable that Gu Chaoyan should come and see you. Women always like to put on airs, but women should know what they ought to do after a few times of show. She should know whom she should see and whom she should not. Gu Chaoyan should see you this time.”
Gu Zhenkang had been saying flattering words, firstly because he was worried about Gu Ruxue and secondly, because the Crown Prince did not seem very happy today.
The Crown Prince might get really annoyed and blame the Gu Mansion for everything if he did not do what the Crown Prince wanted.
That was why he had to apologize for Gu Chaoyan.
Zhou Huailing, who had been feeling distressed, looked less unhappy. He felt that way too. Normally, even if Gu Chaoyan was putting on airs, he had lowered himself to ask for her many times, so she should come and see him. He was the Crown Prince!
He had just persuaded himself when Chen Fu arrived. “Crown Prince, Officer Gu. Elder Miss said she is not meeting you because she is not feeling well.”
Hearing these words… Zhou Huailing’s expression sank instantly and he said with displeasure. “Not feeling well? Then I can get an imperial doctor to treat her!”
Chen Fu did not say anything as he stood next to them. That was the answer he received and the message he needed to pass on. That was all he could say.
“The servants must have not taken good care of her.” Gu Zhenkang answered in a frightened tone, “Crown Prince, do you want to check on her in the backyard?”
Zhou Huailing was furious, but hearing what Gu Zhenkang said, he rolled his eyes and smiled briefly instead.
Gu Zhenkang was a very good tool to stick to. He was stupid enough to be used on crucial occasions.
“In that case, I should visit the Phoenix Girl personally. The Phoenix Girl has a precious status and if she is sick, the Saint Divine Land will be affected. I am the Crown Prince so I ought to share her care,” Zhou Huailing said with a smile, as if everything was right.
