The King approved of his trip with his Sixth Brother, so the King planned to leave him alone, for real.

During the past few years, his Sixth Brother had been establishing many casinos of his own, and those in the capital could not keep him from traveling away. Nowadays, he was running a silk business in the South and next year, he was going to build some hostels in Bingzhou. He was also going to deal with some horse stables. He had been traveling about and making lots of money, except that the income was never stable.

It looked as if he were just having fun everywhere, but Zhou Huaijin was pretty aware that his Sixth Brother was not just having fun.

He was serious, indeed.

If he had not established any business of his own, he would be a prince with no supporting background and a deceased mother. Only in this way would he be able to stay alive and survive the turbulence.

If he were a really excellent person, he would have gotten himself killed.

The King had never stopped him from doing any of these. His father did not stop him from being a businessman in the Saint Divine Land, where a businessman was considered to have the lowest status in the whole society.

His father knew pretty well that only in this way would the Sixth Brother obtain no hope or ambition to steal the throne. It was always great to just be a rich playboy, who would at least survive as one of his sons.

Although he himself used to be playing around as well, he was still asked to remain in the capital to learn some knowledge.

However, now his father expected him to travel with the Sixth Brother…

That basically meant that his Fourth Brother was expected to take the throne after he was gone.

He wasn’t very sad about it, but he had his own ideas and plans.

If it were the Sixth Brother who was taking the throne, he would definitely stand by Shadow Door and have a leisurely time of his own, but if it was going to be his Fourth Brother… he would never leave him alone.

Fourth Brother was a very narrow-minded person, who was not going to allow any of his brothers to live on after he took the throne.

The brothers included their Elder Brother far in the boundary, Sixth Brother who was traveling about and himself… And how would he treat those civilians?

At the end of last year, when the blizzard and storm attacked the town, his Fourth Brother did not care about any of those refugees who had just caught a cold. Those refugees were not dying people, they were just ordinary commoners who lived on farmlands. However, his Fourth Brother did not even want to take them into the capital, but left them to die outside the city.

He was just a lord at the moment. How would he ever think about the civilians when he eventually became the King?

Those were very realistic issues.

As Zhou Huaijin was thinking about these, he arrived at Xinlin Mansion.

After he walked into the mansion, he walked directly to Gu Chaoyan’s yard.

It was spring and Gu Chaoyan spent most of her time in the yard. So Gu Chaoyan saw Zhou Huaijin the moment he walked in. She smiled. “Back now? Did the King say yes?”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

“Yes, he did. We can get ready and leave with Sixth Brother these days,” Zhou Huaijin said with her hands in his, smiling.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

That was what she had expected…

At this moment, the King wished very much that none of his sons would make any fuss in the capital, since he had already set the heir and nothing would change. What the King needed to do right now was to cultivate the heir. If any of his other sons were trying to do something at the moment, he would be considered a barrier.

Zhou Huaijin sighed.

He took hold of Gu Chaoyan and said, “Let’s go into the room. I have a few words to say to you.”
