<h4>Chapter 1009: Displeasure</h4>


    However, the Heir was right. What happened at Li County was huge, different from anything that happened before. He believed that it had something to do with the changes of the heavenly situation, and feared that it had something to do with Destiny Monk’s constant appearance in the Saint Divine Land.


    Unfortunately, they failed to find Destiny Monk, and could not understand the real essence behind all of these.


    Destiny Monk and the heavenly secret were known to the Heir, but not his Eighth Son.


    Normally, he should give the permission to the Heir to deal with Li County.


    Also… His Eighth Son was not in a position to deal with any errands for the court. Any of his sons could take over the throne in the future, except his eighth son.


    His eighth son had been humiliated to spare his Lord Huai’s Mansion, and he couldpensate him from any other way except to entrust him with court errands.


    That was a clear thing in the King’s mind.


    He threw a cold look at the two sons and said, “The Heir is right. What has happened at Li County is very serious, and for a country like the Saint Divine Land, peace has been prevailing for decades. This is something unusual that has happened for the first time, so we must take it seriously. The Heir is experienced with court errands, so he should take over the errand at Li County.”


    “…”


    “The Heir is young too, and he may not be that experienced. Anyway, Prime Minister Chu, please keep himpany in Li County, so that I can be assured.”


    “…”


    “Lord Huai, don’t be sad. If there is anything else that suits you in the future, I will entrust you to them. It is nice of you to care about the civilians.”


    When the King made the decision, he consoled Zhou Huaijin for the Queen’s sake, so that he would not be too embarrassed in front of the whole court.


    ......


    Zhou Huaijin was feeling very unconvinced, but he knew clearly that no matter how unconvinced he was, and how much he was going to try to get it himself, there was no possibility that the decision would be changed. It is good that the Prime Minister was assigned to keep the Heirpany in Li County, since it made him feel less worried.


    Instead of showing any more expression, he replied with courtesy. “Okay, father.”


    The King nodded with satisfaction.


    It was good that Lord Huai had be more obedient. That made him feel assured.


    Upon hearing the decision, Zhou Huailing threw a provocative look at Zhou Huaijin, looking very proud. He did not care that he was in front of all the ministers and officers. He was the Heir, the most popr man in his father’s eyes. He could do anything he wanted.


    However, the King frowned slightly.


    Seeing how Zhou Huailing looked, he subconsciously felt really displeased.


    It was true that these two sons of his had a difference in titles, yet both of them were the King’s sons.


    The Heir was way too unruly behaving like this.


    The King’s expression sank as he threw a cold phrase. He felt annoyed. “That is all for the session!”


    “Long live the King!”


    The King flung his sleeves and left.


    When he was gone, the ministers left one after another.


    Chu Tian looked at Zhou Huaijin. He was a bit surprised that Lord Huai had made the proposal. He should have predicted that he was not going to be given the errand, but he showed no expression, when he was truly turned down.


    He found Lord Huai a bit difficult to see through.


    “Prime Minister Chu!” Zhou Huailing called Chu Tian, who was staring at Zhou Huaijin.
