The Crown Prince was dominating in the capital, and the King was apparently taking the Crown Prince as his favorite. Lord Yan who was basically grounded, Lord Yu who was idling about, and Lord Huai who was standing right in front of her, were all out of the picture in the King's eyes.
Duke North Mansion was not going to have any cooperation with Lord Huai in the future, so she was using her deceased husband's relationship with Lord Huai to beg for Lady Chaoyan's medical skills, which was totally worth the while for her. That was the only function Lord Huai could have for the moment.
