Chapter 1012: I Understood

Zhou Huailing looked totally confused.

He believed that he was the closest person to the throne, the Heir who had married the Phoenix Girl! The Chu Family kept saying that they were devoted only to the King and Chu Tian kept behaving so.

There were many important ministers who had already taken his side, and he had both power and the civilians support. Chu Tian was nothing anyway. Why must he bow and show the weak side of himself?

If not for Junyi, he would have dropped this confusion directly.

Seeing Zhou Huailings expression, Junyi said quickly. Heir, it is because Chu Tian isnt taking a side, we need to get him to our side. He has a lot of power in his hands, which none of the other ministers have been able to grab.

Heir, have you ever thought that if Chu Tian doesnt take your side easily, and you bring him to your side, then he wont leave you easily either. That would be a wonderful thing for you!

The other ministers take your side easily, but arent you worried that they will leave easily too, if they run into some conflicts?

We need to take him as someone cherishable, since he is so different from the others.

Heir, the more difficult something is to get, the more advantages we can get out of it when we get it, Junyi said.

Zhou Huailing thought over those words.

That was true, but Chu Tian was really stubborn.

Mr. Heir, dont worry, he is going to keep you company for the errand in Li County, so take me along. You can behave well in front of him, and I can help you to persuade him too. We should keep trying, Junyi said.

Zhou Huailing sighed, but still nodded.

What if Chu Tian is still so stubborn? Zhou Huailing asked.

Junyis expression sank too.

He knew the Chu Family well. They only worked for the King, but things were different now. The Heir was now the person who would take the throne, so if they tried their best to persuade Chu Tian yet failed, then it basically meant one thing he did not acknowledge the Heir!

If that was the case

Then we can just destroy him! Junyi said calmly.

That is true. The Heir was very satisfied and answered without hesitation.

Junyi nodded.

The two of them exchanged a few other thoughts in the yard.

***

At the Qianqing Palace.

The King had a very serious look on his face.

He was wondering if he had been over doubtful or influenced by something else he believed that the Heir wasnt being very modest today. He was just an heir, and was granted with all kinds of honors, but he was behaving so wildly in front of all the ministers and looking down on his father!

He thought for a while and felt that he had given too much to the Heir at the moment.

When the Heir wanted to take over this errand, no other ministers made any proposals apart from his Eighth Son.

That wasnt going in the right direction.

De Fu, have you considered that I seem to have given the Heir way too many things so he has become too wild? Have you noticed how terribly he behaved in court today? the King asked.

De Fu was hesitating.

Before he was able to say anything

Oh, I see!
