Yingqian couldn't hold it back and almost laughed out loud.

These grassland people are really ruthless.

They have no scruples.

Punch into the flesh.

I'm afraid that if I don't care, I will be interrupted after a while.

The prince's face gradually became clearer under the firelight.

Several people gasped.

The emperor just hadn't rested yet. After hearing the message, out of concern for the Prairie King, he came over to take a look.

He never expected to see the prince here.

The disciple who broke into A Ruo's camp in the middle of the night turned out to be Tian Zhao's next king.

This is a disgrace to the entire royal family.

How could the emperor not be angry?

"evil creature!"

The Prairie King stood aside. Although he did not speak again, his expression was particularly embarrassing.

This matter is extraordinary, and the emperor must give him an explanation.

The prince received a severe beating and now he came to his senses. With a bruised face, he knelt and crawled to the emperor's feet and said in a trembling voice:

"Father, I didn't mean to do it... I was drunk, but... I asked my servants to help me back to my room. Why did I come to the princess?"

He couldn't figure it out at all.

I even began to wonder if I had taken the wrong path.

A brain corroded by alcohol cannot even think of the things he would do when he is confused.

The more the prince talked, the more he felt guilty.

His whole body was shaking like chaff, and he looked quite miserable against the embarrassment all over his body.

But here and now.

Everyone's eyes were cold.

Ah Ruo's face turned red with anger. Seeing that the prince was still quibbling, he raised his eyebrows and shouted:

"You are just making excuses. If I hadn't drank too much and not slept too much, I would have been bullied by you, the Crown Prince, and I wouldn't have been able to explain to you!"

She has a straightforward temperament.

Even if the emperor stepped aside, he would not save face for the prince.

On the other hand, the Prairie King glanced at Ah Ruo and said in a deep voice:

"Well, His Highness the Crown Prince also did it unintentionally."

"But..." Ah Ruo curled her lips, first she was dissatisfied with the Prairie King's handling, but after meeting his eyes, she didn't say a word.

He only used his eyes and knives to keep throwing them at the prince, wishing he could poke dozens or hundreds of holes in his body.

The prince was still lying on the ground.

The pain all over his body was really severe.

Those pairs of powerful fists kept greeting me.

I don’t know how many skin injuries there were, and I think there were even a few broken bones.

But the prince did not dare to cry out for pain.

He knew that this time, he would cause a huge disaster.

The Prairie King tried to dissuade Ah Ruo, but if he was not given a satisfactory result, he would not give up.

The prince broke out in cold sweat and his heart was filled with fear.

"The prince is acting stupid. He drank too much, was disrespectful, and almost rude to Princess Aruo." The emperor frowned, staring at the prince with sinister eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Come here, drag the prince away for me.

Go down and weigh thirty large slabs to vent your anger on Princess Aruo."

This is a total of thirty boards.

But it's not light.

Even if someone is in trouble, he still has to lie in bed for half a month.

What's more, the prince was already injured.

The prince panicked and was about to plead for mercy when he heard rapid footsteps coming from behind him.

He turned around and saw Xia Hojing with a cold expression on his face.

"Father, please calm down. The prince has no intentions after all, and he has already been seriously injured. If he strikes again, his injuries will be difficult to recover on the way home tomorrow, and his life may be in danger!"

Xiahou Jing stood beside the prince. As soon as she finished speaking, she faced A Ruo and whispered:

"I also ask Princess Aruo to calm down and spare the prince for once, and then punish the prince after he returns to the capital."

The injury on his arm has not healed.

There was still a touch of paleness on his handsome face.

But the added vulnerability made Ah Ruo even more unable to look away.

She stared at Xia Hojing for a while, her cheeks turned red inexplicably, her previous menacing attitude suddenly softened, and even her voice had a hint of coquettishness.

"You...why are you begging for him?"

Ah Ruo pursed her lips, and her voice sounded a little aggrieved.

"He's a scoundrel, and he came to my tent in the middle of the night."

"The prince has behaved inappropriately." Xia Hojing sighed softly. His black eyes were like a dark pool of ink. When he looked at A Ruo, he actually gave her the illusion of boundless tenderness.

"But he was also injured, and the journey back was difficult and dangerous. Although punishment is inevitable, he hopes to return to the capital and carry out the execution again. Please forgive me, Princess, and spare the prince once."

His attitude is excellent.

Every gentle word made Ah Ruo's heart beat faster.

She hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing and acquiesced to Xia Hojing's proposal.

Although the Prairie King knew it in his heart, he would not know whether they would be punished or not when they returned to the capital. But the emperor and Xia Hojing were very clear about their attitudes, and A Ruo did not suffer any loss. After thinking about it, he said:

"Your Majesty, the prince didn't mean it either, so he just did as the seventeenth prince said."

"This evil obstacle." The emperor sighed, glanced at the prince, and said angrily: "Why don't you quickly thank the prairie king and the princess!"

"Yes..." The prince raised his head, looked at the Prairie King, and murmured: "Thank you, the Prairie King, and thank you Princess."

He lost such a big man.

I can't even lift my head.

Xia Hojing stood aside, occasionally glancing at the prince, but his eyes were full of disgust.

He suddenly appeared, naturally not to help the prince out of trouble.

Yingqian's attention is good.

But what he wanted to play was a bigger game.

The prince thought he had escaped death, but never in his wildest dreams did he know what he was about to face.

The emperor and the prairie king left together.

He even called Xia Houjing to join him.

The two of them talked to Zizhong in the tent, leaving him waiting outside. After a long while, the Prairie King walked out.

He looked calm and could not tell what his complexion was like.

When he was about to leave, he followed Xia Hojing and nodded slightly.

Looking at it, it is a kind gesture.

Xia Hojing frowned.

When a servant came to tell him, he entered the camp, walked to the emperor's side, and whispered:

"Father."

The emperor was sitting behind the desk, closing his eyes and taking a nap. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes, sighed and said:

"How is your recovery from your injury?"

Xia Hojing was not very grateful for his sudden concern and only said:

"Return to my father, it's nothing serious."

The emperor nodded slightly and said directly without any nonsense:

"Princess Aruo, I care about you very much."

He didn't say it very bluntly.

But the deeper meaning has been revealed.

Xiahou Jing couldn't tell, but he didn't want to agree and said:

"The princess is kind and is close to everyone. My son and I are just lucky enough to talk to each other twice."

"Aruo is very important in the heart of the grassland king." The emperor sighed softly and said, "If she marries another tribe on the grassland, it will be harmful to our royal family but not beneficial."

Without waiting for Xiahou Jing's reply, the emperor said again:
Chapter completed!
