"I will go and visit Honored Princess Jing later," the King said. He made the promise directly due to the guilt he felt. He was going to make it up to Honored Princess Jing.
The Empress Dowager nodded with a very satisfied look on her face.
To get the King to stay by Honored Princess Jing's side was better than him staying next to Jiang Shuang.
Having said this, the King felt quite distracted. He kept thinking about what the Empress Dowager said before. Actually, on his way back to the court, he more or less had some conjectures - but what he had suspected differed from reality.
It couldn't be confirmed that some of what he had suspected existed for real. Therefore, he just could not accept the truth at the moment, especially when everything seemed to be part of the conspiracy.
