De Fu shared some small talk with Gu Chaoyan on the way there. Their topics were casual, as if they were just chatting. The Phoenix Girl was still someone who respected a Chief like De Fu, after all.
However, through the topics, he was passing on what was going on in the court to Gu Chaoyan.
That was something a smart person would do.
De Fu was an eunuch, but he was someone with his own principles and redlines.
No matter what happened to the King, he would still show utter devotion. However, Gu Chaoyan did him a favor before, so he was protecting her with his own methods.
When De Fu told her about the arrival of the ministers and officers, it meant one thing - the King was summoning her for a different purpose this time.
This time…
All the ministers were present.
So it was not about having a private conversation.
No matter what promise the King made to her before… he did this for one reason.
Gu Chaoyan's face sank.
