She had not expected that when she mentioned Lord Huai's wedding and even offered to take over the preparation, the King was still thinking about bringing the Queen back to the court.
She had planned to postpone the King's visit by making use of Lord Huai's wedding, and as time went on, everything would become much easier.
The reason why she hoped that Lord Huai's wedding could take place as soon as possible, was because she was worried that the Queen would not make it, so that Lord Huai's wedding would be postponed.
It was not a good omen if Lord Huai's wedding was postponed.
Gu Chaoyan might be a good doctor, but she had no background or any family to support her. If Lord Huai married her, he could get nothing good in return, and that was why the Empress Dowager wanted them to get married as soon as possible.
When the wedding date was confirmed, the Queen, despite her illness, would have to see to it that the whole wedding took place.
