His eighth son was not like the Heir.

The Heir was aware that he should pass on the message to his father when his Eighth Brother was home whilst delivering the pastry to his mother, yet his eighth son had arrived at the mansion yet did not come to greet him.

Well, his beloved Queen was not like their son. They were, after all, different.

Displeasure instantly filled his heart.

He spoke to the Heir in an even more gentle way. “Don’t worry, what belongs to you will be yours, and that is the rule. Tomorrow, I will summon your Eighth Brother to court and have a chat with him.”

“…”

“It is getting late, you can leave now.”

“…”

“Also, someone has seen Destiny Monk these days, and I believe that it is just a matter of time before he is found. By that time, you will have many things to deal with. Therefore, take the opportunity to have as much of a break as possible, and as for the rest, I will see to it,” the King said with a spoiled voice.

Hearing what his father had said, Zhou Huailing sighed. However, suddenly, he heard the news about Destiny Monk…

He was surprised and asked the King. “Father, you have spotted Destiny Monk?”

He was also chuckling inside his heart.

His Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl, and he was the one that wished to find Destiny Monk more desperately than anyone else. He wondered what Destiny Monk had to say about the Phoenix Girl, and how the Phoenix Girl should be made use of?

That was what they were curious about and wished to know desperately.

Zhou Huailing was getting more and more ambitious. He really needed to break the stagnant situation right now and get what he desired. And the Destiny Monk as well as the Phoenix Girl should be able to help him with that.

The King had no idea what Zhou Huailing was planning. He said briefly, “He was seen in Lingzhou, but he left too soon for us to meet him. We don’t know where he is, but it seems that he is being seen more often than before, so I believe that he will come to the capital soon.”

The King sounded quite regretful when he mentioned Lingzhou. It was just a few moments before they would have been able to find the Destiny Monk. Now there was going to be a longer and more drawn out period of waiting.

He had not intended to mention this point, in case people got disappointed, but the King still spoke of it, since they were talking about it now.

“Anyway, I told you just so that you know, just go home to take a break.” The King stressed.

“Okay, father.” Zhou Huailing answered and left.

The King continued with the book he had yet to finish, since what happened to Destiny Monk made him feel annoyed and the book appeased him somehow.

Seeing the Heir leave, De Fu offered the name cards and said, “King, are you going to visit any of the princesses tonight?”

“Just take it away!” the King said impatiently, refusing to have a look at the name cards.

De Fu obeyed him.

The King became increasingly annoyed, as he thought of those princesses. He had the interest of visiting them when the Queen was still alive, but now that the Queen was gone, he lost interest in visiting them, and even felt irritated by the suggestion. The King wondered what happened to himself!

Then he sighed and continued to read the book.

At the Heir’s mansion.

Zhou Huailing hurried back.

Junyi was still waiting for him in the study, with the candle on.
