<h4>Chapter 350: Meeting the King</h4>


    “Duke North’s Mansion has not had an easy time these years, and you have just be an adult. These medical bills are a bit high for us, but you are my only child and you don’t have a sister, so I can use my dowries to pay the bill, or we are going to beughed at!” Mrs. Duke North showed a brief smile as she was speaking. She sounded a bit helpless, but also showed much hope to her son.


    With fist clenched, Zheng Chenyiy in bed without saying a word. A long whileter, he said, “Thank you for your efforts, mom!” Then he closed his eyes.


    Mrs. Duke North took a look at him and helped to cover him with the nket, before walking out of the room.


    Zheng Chenyi took out The Saint Divine Anecdotes, threw a look at it and then put it back under the pillow.


    ***


    Gu Chaoyan had just received the news that the King was going to meet her. The news came after lunch, when she had nned to take a nap, but now, she could not do that.


    She had been in the court several times, but it was the first time for her to meet the King.


    It was impossible not to get nervous. She wondered why the King wanted to see her – could it be because she was going to be his future daughter-inw, or because she had just cured the Young Duke so he would like to meet a skilled doctor...


    She was feeling a little bit nervous as she thought of the former possibility.


    She was worried that the King would look down on her because of her family background just like Mrs. Duke North, so he would try to make her stay away from Zhou Huaijin.


    She had never thought about these points before, so she was quite nervous at the moment.


    As she came to Qianqing Pce, she almost tripped at the gate because of nervousness. Luckily, Sword One managed to help her up in time so the scene did not get too embarrassing.


    “Miss, don’t be nervous.” Sword One had thought that her Miss was going to stay as calm as before, but now it seemed that she was rather nervous. For a moment, she had no idea how tofort her so she had to utter such a simple sentence.


    Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, got even more nervous.


    The King who was seated on the other side, burst intoughter as he heard that. He seemed to be in a good mood. He was wearing a smile on his face when Gu Chaoyan finally faced him.


    “You are Gu Chaoyan? Look up at me.” King Anqing said with a firm voice.


    “Yes, I am.” Gu Chaoyan answered briefly and looked up at King Anqing without making a move.


    King Anqing did not find this name strange. The news that hade to him a moment ago was that Young Duke was dying yet this Gu Chaoyan girl saved his life! Few people had this kind of excellent medical skills.


    For a moment, he had no idea whether he should be sad or d over this fact. That was why he had not asked to see her, but when he heard the name once again, it was mentioned by two of his sons who both had the intention of marrying this girl. He would have approved the proposal raised first if it were made to other girls, but this one was a skilled doctor and he had to carefully consider it.


    As he saw the girl with his own eyes, he found her very interesting.


    The eunuch said that she almost tripped at the gate of Qianqing Pce because she was too nervous, but now she had the boldness of looking at him directly in the eyes. What a wonderful woman!


    “You know what I asked you here for?” King Anqing asked.


    “You are wondering about the Young Duke?” Gu Chaoyan asked.


    It was not Gu Chaoyan’s style to pretend to y dumb, so she answered naturally.


    Hearing the answer, the Kingughed some more.
