Chapter 1063: Sneering

Zhou Huailing had already heard from his messenger that someone from the Min Family was taking the Elder Prince back to the capital. So he instantly went into the court after adjusting himself a little.

Zhou Huailing was very satisfied by keeping some messengers.

He did not have any messengers before, because he thought that it cost money, and because he believed that everyone should tell him anything he wanted to know, since he was the Heir.

However, when Xie Yan betrayed him and Junyi became his officer, Junyi made the proposal of hiring messengers.

He had not agreed with this idea before, but Junyi gave him a very good plan, which satisfied him.

Therefore, Zhou Huailing was very happy to have those messengers working for him, since he was able to get any message very fast and could make decisions just in time.

Since the Elder Prince went into the court, he would get the t.i.tle of lord and a mansion.

He was really worried, so he hurried into the court, in case the King gave the Elder Prince too many things, causing the Elder Prince to become his obstacles.

Seeing that Min Qing was taking the Elder Prince out of the court, Zhou Huailing became a bit surprised. He wasn’t sure what had happened.

He received the message not too long ago, so the Elder Prince could not have spent much time in the court.

Zhou Huailing squinted and observed the Elder Prince’s appearance.

The Elder Prince showed an expression that he could tell – he looked pale and had no spark in his eyes. He could tell all of these, when observing him carefully.

The Elder Prince didn’t have a very good expression on, which pleased him.

It seemed that the Elder Prince did not get much from their father.

Zhou Huailing showed a very affable smile. “Brother, you must have just come back to the capital, didn’t you? Where is the mansion father is giving to you? I can visit you when I have time. We haven’t spent much time together during the past few years.”

When the mansion was mentioned, the Elder Prince could not stay calm any more. He had a stiff look on his face, and he was collapsing mentally.

He had never had any strategist teaching him what he should do, because there was nothing like that going on at the border. Therefore the Elder Prince was not as experienced as Zhou Huailing, when they were faced with each other.

For a moment, he had no idea what to do.

Min Qing, however, could not stand it any more. He said, “Crown Prince, please, the Elder Prince has not yet gotten a t.i.tle, thus he has not been granted a mansion. The King has been quite busy these days, so the Elder Prince needs to wait for a little longer before the decision is made. For the moment, the Elder Prince will be staying at my mansion. You can come to my place, if you want to speak with the Elder Prince.”

Those words were very weak, in everyone’s eyes.

Zhou Huailing finally understood what was going on.

No wonder the Elder Prince spent almost no time in the court. He did not come too late. It was just that father never wanted to see him.

“In that case, I will speak with you later, after I speak with our father,” Zhou Huailing said affably.

The Elder Prince’s hands were clenched tightly.
