C85 The Son of the State Was in Charge of Supervising the Execution

Fang Qu was specifically asked by Xiao Heng to take care of her at the hostel. She's only 14 this year. She was a strange little girl, but she was very good at looking at people's expressions. The reason why Xiao Heng called her over was very simple - he recalled the days he had spent with Yun Zhu recently. He felt that she had been living in a gloomy mood all day long. Thus, he hoped that Fang Qu's arrival would allow her to recover some of her anger, just like when he met her in Tiger Rage.

And during this period of time, in order to make Yun Zhu live a bit more comfortably, he was also doing his best to restrain his impulse to go to the underworld hall and see her, but he restrained himself a lot. That impulse flooded over like a broken dam, drowning his reason. And so, he finally came to the door on this day.

As soon as he entered the study, he smelled the elegant Garan incense. Inside the study that was filled with incense, the sunlight shone through the open window onto the shoulders of the woman sitting behind the table. However, the moment the woman saw him, she subconsciously furrowed her brows. He ignored this point and walked over to sit beside her. "Miss Yun, how have you been recently?"

"I'm sorry to trouble Your Highness to hang up."

Yun Zhu did not directly answer him, and he did not continue to ask. Instead, she smiled and told him her intentions. "In the afternoon, in order to celebrate those who passed the court examinations, the group of supervisors from the National Supervision Department planned to hold a Baltic Globe competition. Miss Yun, are you interested in watching it together? "

"Balotian?" This was the first time Yun Zhu had heard such a strange name, and she couldn't help but be interested.

Xiao Heng nodded. "It's probably what the people of the Yan Kingdom call the Kowtow."

Yunshu: "Okay, I want to go." As expected, the Great Liang was closer to the western countries than the Yan Kingdom, and its name was even stranger. However, compared to calligraphy and painting, she was indeed more interested in this type of thing. Moreover, she could also use this opportunity to prepare a gift for Xiao Ya.

Originally, she had wanted to use a portion of the Netherworld Register as a present, but she was a little afraid that Xiao Heng would take revenge on her after discovering it. Secondly, in the end, she still somewhat minded that those people were not too clean and would bring trouble to Xiao Ya. Moreover, most of the people under Jiang Tong were old and stubborn, and Xiao Ya wanted to start a new situation. That new blood was naturally more suitable.

With this thought in mind, she felt no discomfort even when Xiao Heng ate lunch with her at noon. To be more precise, she was too busy thinking about how to communicate with the scholars and had no time to care about Xiao Heng who sat beside her.

The square was a thousand steps wide in the National Child's Inspection Department. The ground was abnormally flat, as if it had been cut by a knife. When Yun Zhu followed Xiao Heng down the carriage, a dozen or so servants dressed in various clothes were sweeping the dust and debris out of the square. It was probably the accompanying students that the supervisors had brought with them.

When they saw Xiao Heng, the Supervisors of the National Children arrived to welcome him. The middle-aged man with a smiling face walking at the front of the group was likely the Supervisors of the National Children.

"The students must be overwhelmed by the fact that His Royal Highness is here to reward them." The Supervising Officer smiled as he brought Xiao Heng to the first row of chairs.

Xiao Heng patted the fan in his hand twice and smiled in response. "This king is just being playful."

"Please take a seat, Your Highness." After saying that, the National Prince Wine Ritual Officer called the officials behind to change a pot of good tea on the tea table next to Xiao Heng.

Then, the prince served the wine and was about to flip the cup over to pour tea for Xiao Heng when Xiao Heng waved his hand to indicate that they could return to their seats. Qin Zhou thought that this was to let him try the tea first, so he went forward to take the teapot. In the end, his Mistress also waved her hand at him. "There's no need." He could only retreat to the side.

"Lan is the supervisor, while Hong is the new scholar. The one at the very edge is the flower scout Li Jinru, and the slightly thinner one beside him is Qu Chu." Xiao Heng poured tea for Yun Zhu, who was sitting beside him, and introduced the people who had been waiting outside the venue with their horses. Then, he placed the first cup of tea on the table beside her.

Those young people were laughing and joking along the way. They were high-spirited, and there was no lack of handsome people among them. They wore narrow sleeves and black boots. Their elbows and knees were bound by protective gear. Their black hair stood up high, and they used cloud patterns to tie up their broken hair. They held a crescent moon shaped staff in their right hand.

Yun Zhu withdrew her gaze from Qu Chu and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Your Highness." It was not that she had not seen Xiao Heng's goodwill towards her during this period of time, but she did not expect that it would be outside. He was actually still like this. Didn't he feel that this would damage the majesty of the Royal Highness? It was just for the sake of keeping her here. There was no need to be like this, right? Furthermore, he had clearly only used the method of threatening her to keep her here previously. He had not mentioned anything during this period of time. This was somewhat strange. But soon, she did not have the mood to continue thinking about why, because the competition was about to begin.

After cleaning the field, the servants retreated, and the supervisor and the sergeant each controlled their horses to the sides. The referee, the young supervisor, bent down and threw the ball towards the center of the stadium. The two teams that were already prepared nearby immediately began to fight for the palm-sized ball.

The supervisor obtained the right to attack the ball for the first time. After controlling the ball, his teammates surrounded him, as if they wanted to protect him in the middle of the stadium.

Li Jinru gave a look to his teammates nearby, and those few scholars hurriedly controlled their horses to disturb the people beside the person controlling the ball. The surrounding people were disturbed, and the person controlling the ball could not smoothly move forward. But fortunately, the other teammates saw that the situation was not right, so they came over and prepared to receive the ball. Help him break through the encirclement.

The person controlling the ball had no choice but to turn around and wave his staff, taking the risk to hit the ball towards the supervisor who ran over. However, it was intercepted by a staff that stretched out from the sky.

Li Jinru smiled at his classmate who had just attacked the ball a little slyly. After saying a word of thanks, he rode his horse and ran away with the ball.

"Li Jinru! Just you wait." The supervisor who had his ball stolen shouted angrily.

"Just wait and see, come quickly!" Li Jinru responded in a loud voice without fear.

The National Scholars who sat diagonally behind Xiao Heng had a somewhat embarrassed expression due to the loud shouts of the students. They were also afraid that King Heng would blame them, so they shamelessly smiled and explained to Xiao Heng, "Young people are so angry that they suddenly act like this. After this official arrives, he will be even stricter in teaching the students."

Xiao Heng did not turn his head. He only waved his hand and said, "There's no need. Just now, the Wine Ritual also said that young people are angry. This king feels that it is very rare for young people to maintain this kind of vigor in their busy studies. Remember to let them continue to maintain it. His Majesty is probably bored to death by watching those lifeless old men in the hall all day long."

Originally, when he heard Xiao Heng's words in front of him, the National Prince Wine Ritual just heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and wanted to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but in the end, he heard the last sentence. The sweat on his forehead involuntarily gathered even more. For a moment, his mouth was wide open, and he did not know how to respond. It was fine if he looked at it from the surface, but if he went deeper, he wanted to flip the court upside down. To think that the person who had said these words was King Heng, the twin brother of the current Emperor. If it had been anyone else, would His Majesty have been able to find out that his head had fallen to the ground? After all, it was common for people to think about conspiracies and rebellions when it came to the change of blood in the royal court.

Xiao Heng saw that the State Supervising Officer behind him obediently shut his mouth and no longer annoyed him and Yunshu with admiring the competition. His mouth was agape. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but when he thought about how these people were indeed still standing behind him... The smile on his face dissipated, and he secretly decided that next time, Joyun Zhu would definitely choose only the two of them... Oh, the place of the three of them - the Qin Province had to be safer. After all, from time to time, a group of assassins with ill intentions would appear by his side.

Even though he knew that releasing the clouds would allow her to completely avoid this type of danger, he still couldn't bear to let go in the end. At least for now. However, if someone asked why Yun Zhu made it so difficult for him to let go, he probably didn't know what kind of answer he should give. He didn't know what kind of charm a beautiful but absolutely not devastatingly beautiful woman had, but he had fallen into a hopeless situation. Moreover, before he realized it.

When he thought of this, he turned his head to look at Yunshu, who was seriously watching the competition from the side. However, the person being watched didn't seem to notice his gaze at all. His gaze kept chasing a thin figure dressed in red uniforms. Upon discovering this matter, Xiao Heng's mood immediately turned extremely bad, and his hand, which was resting on the armrest, clenched into a fist due to anger.

After observing this detail, Qin Zhou naturally shifted his gaze to Yun Zhu, who was the only person in the situation who could easily affect their Royal Highness's emotions. Then, he retreated to the side in understanding. He did not want to be the victim of their Royal Highness's seething jealousy.
