章 729: Chapter 709: Tease (First Update)

Su Rong and the Nanchu King waited until it was completely dark. Su Rong was so hungry waiting for Zhou Gu to return.

As soon as Zhou Gu returned to the royal palace, he rushed to the Council Hall in the same clothes he'd arrived in. Seeing Su Rong and Nanchu King had been waiting for him for quite some time, he hurriedly apologized, "Father-in-law, Xiaoqi, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

"What held you back?" asked the Nanchu King, "When I left, I asked you to return on time."

Zhou Gu nodded, "I was getting ready to leave on time, but was held up by a few ministers wanting to chat." He explained, "Today's decision about Prince Liu'an and his followers caught many off guard, they probably saw me as easy to approach, just probing me out. After all, with a grand court meeting tomorrow, it's good to be prepared."

Nanchu King was not surprised, "I see, let's wash up and have dinner then!"

Zhou Gu nodded, quickly washed his hands, and sat next to Su Rong after a moment.
