Zhou Huailing had already developed this kind of ambition, otherwise he would not have trained his own troops, but despite the ambition he had, he could not just say that whenever he wanted.

Before, he mentioned this to Ruxue, just because he could not hold it any more.

When Junyi told him the plan, he could not help saying what he was thinking. Zhou Huailing trusted Junyi for being truthful. Beside that, he asli trusted him for being capable. That was why he would like to hear what Junyi wanted to say.

Junyi looked at Zhou Huailing.

Those are rebellious words, but he believed that it was right for the Crown Prince to say things like this.

He needed ambition, since the ambition would help him.

His master had already passed 50 years old, so Junyi did not have much time either. He was going to have his goal achieved, while his master was still alive.

Junyi’s eyes sparkled at this moment too.

He looked at the Crown Prince excitedly and lowered his voice. “Crown Prince, are you willing to wait?”

“Of course not.” Zhou Huailing said frankly.

“Then we don’t wait! Crown Prince, we need to keep a low-profile on the surface, whilst in the meanwhile, we get everything arranged. I believe that soon, everything will be settled,” Junyi said resolutely.

Zhou Huailing looked up at Junyi. “Are you sure, Junyi?”

Junyi nodded.

Zhou Huailing let out a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling very confident.

He had been very furious starting from the morning, when he heard the news, but now he was in a good mood, and felt assured.

“Junyi, I can give you everything you desire, when the time comes.” Zhou Huailing patted at Junyi’s shoulders.

Junyi nodded, but said nothing more.

“It is getting late, Crown Prince, let’s eat some breakfast,” Junyi said.

“Yes, let’s eat breakfast.”

Having said this, they pulled open the door and walked out.

Junyi let Gu Ruxue lead the way, whilst he followed the Crown Prince.

The three of them started to walk outside.

The officers from Li County were waiting and craning their necks just to see Zhou Huailing walking out. They showed a smile, “Crown Prince, Crown Prince Consort, the breakfast is ready, are you going there to have it?”

“Yes!” Zhou Huailing said with a smile.

Junyi arranged a few people to clean things up before catching up with them.

He watched how the officers from Li County were flattering the Crown Prince and frowned with displeasure.

He did not want the Crown Prince to hang out with this officer from Li County.

This officer didn’t look that intelligent, but he was a sneaky man.

This officer just came when he predicted that the Crown Prince was in a good mood. So he was probably scheming a few things and they should look out for them.

***

It was quiet at breakfast.

Zhou Huailing kept thinking about the throne.

Gu Ruxue was quiet too. She wasn’t in a good mood since they were in Li County.

Junyi was thinking about things as well.

After the food was finished, the officer said, “Crown Prince, our Li County is very famous for colored glaze. Do you want to have a look and pick something you love?”

Gu Ruxue looked very interested. Junyi, however, took a step forward.
