The Fourth Prince saw that he was about to come of age and be given a title, at which time he would leave the capital and part ways with Zhao Yao, so he wanted to teach Zhao Yao as much as possible before leaving. This is why Zhao Yao would go find the Fourth Prince to study every night, even after finishing learning the Li Family's characters.
Zhao Yao did not want to learn, but seeing that the Fourth Prince hoped he would, and considering it was out of concern for him, he couldn't refuse the Fourth Prince's good intentions.
As they walked halfway, they heard a strange sound, which scared Tong Xi so much that he jumped up and almost screamed.
Zhao Yao looked at Tong Xi hiding behind his back in speechlessness, and said with exasperation, "It sounds like someone is calling, what are you afraid of."
"Your Highness, is it really a person?"
Zhao Yao ignored Tong Xi and curiously followed the sound, and then he saw a scene too unsightly to look at.
