The King's eyes were wide, and his mouth was slightly open as if he had something important to say.
Zhou Huaijin withdrew his hand, it was covered in blood, panting heavily.
However, Zhou Huaijin's actions were triggered by the King's mention of the Queen. He would not have acted this way if the King had not brought her up.
The King's ignorance and forgetfulness regarding his mistreatment of the Queen rendered him unfit to speak about her in any capacity.
The mere mention had clearly irritated Zhou Huaijin.
Throughout his life, his mother Chaoyan and Xunyang had been his weaknesses, and anyone who touched upon them would pay the price.
But…
Zhou Huaijin panted slightly, fist clenched.
Despite this…
Gu Chaoyan stepped forward and took his hand.
