CHAPTER 1235: CHAPTER 1230: KING JIN UNDERSTANDS

Jin Fengzhao, with tears of gratitude, said, "It’s okay, as long as you agree to help with this matter."

"Alright, you go back first. I’ll have someone notify you once there’s news," Jin Zijin said.

"Thank you, Prince, and thank you, Princess Consort."

She looked at the silent Jin Zijin and added, "I, I also wish to see His Majesty." As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears, and she cautiously defended herself, "I don’t mean to cling to him, it’s just that for many years, I truly believed I was his daughter lost amongst the commoners, and I truly regarded him as my father."

"I’ll ask for you," Jin Zijin said indifferently, with a bitter smile on his lips.

Jin Fengzhao once again thanked Jin Zijin before turning to leave.

Jin Zijin appeared somewhat dejected, prompting Gu Youyou to ask worriedly, "What’s wrong? Have you recalled something?"

Jin Zijin bitterly smiled and said, "She probably doesn’t know yet, that the person who switched us was His Majesty himself."

"His Majesty?" Gu Youyou was incredibly surprised.

Jin Zijin said, "I was also very surprised that it was him."

Gu Youyou poured him a cup of water.

He sighed, "In my eyes, Jin Fengzhao doesn’t owe him anything; on the contrary, he has been using Jin Fengzhao to suppress the Empress, deliberately showing her excessive affection, and using her as a shield that ultimately protected me. I feel guilty towards her!"

Is that how it is?

Gu Youyou was taken aback and fell silent.

So it seems, Jin Zijin indeed intends to help her find her relatives.

"What about her wish to see His Majesty?"

"I’ll ask for her. It’s up to him whether to meet her or not. If he still has a conscience, perhaps he will agree to see her," Jin Zijin replied.

...

King Jin had someone send an invitation to Gu Youyou, calling her out for a meeting. Fearing she might be apprehensive, he chose Xiguang Residence as the location.

It was quite normal for Gu Youyou to visit Xiguang Residence, and it was normal for King Jin as well.

For it was a public visit to Xiguang Residence for shopping.

Xiguang Residence’s glass windows and glasshouse were so famous, and naturally, he wanted to build a glasshouse of his own.

He had just received a firstborn son, and he planned to reward his son with a beautiful house as a full-month gift.

"His Highness King Jin, please come this way to the private room," an attendant said.

Gu Youyou generously served him high-quality tea and pastries.

The décor in their client room was exceptionally exquisite, and as it was King Jin’s first visit, he was quite impressed.

He took the design plans for the glasshouse, pointed to one of them, and said, "I want this one, and I’ll have someone send the deposit later."

"Very well. We’ll note it down for His Highness King Jin," she responded.

After the attendant left, Gu Youyou began to discuss the real matter at hand with King Jin.

"Have you come to a decision?"

King Jin’s face grew somber, and he nodded, "Yes, please take a look for me."

Seeing Madam Zuo’s child, he suddenly thought the child was incredibly cute. But knowing the child wasn’t his own, he wished to have a child like that himself. *

So, regardless of whether it was Gu Youyou’s trap or not, he was determined to have Gu Youyou check for him, to grasp this last chance.

But Gu Youyou said, "I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to help you. You should be prepared for that."

King Jin replied, "I understand. Such matters cannot be forced. If this life is destined to be childless, then so be it."

"Alright, let me take your pulse first," Gu Youyou suggested.

However, King Jin shook his head, "There’s no need, it won’t come out."

"Hmm?"
