At the beginning, the little prince Beili and his mother were crazy about each other.

The emperor was busy with his studies.

—In the imperial study

Emperor Mingde was dealing with the memorials on the table. After a while, there was a knock on the door.

The chief eunuch said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Jinxuan wants to see you!"

Emperor Mingde did not raise his head, and his hand did not stop reviewing the memorials.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

Soon, the chief eunuch Jinxuan walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, something happened!"

Emperor Mingde did not put down his pen and ink, but asked lightly: "What's the matter?"

"It's the thirteenth little prince." Jinxuan lowered his head.

Hearing this, Emperor Mingde put down the red brush in his hand and frowned slightly: "What happened to Xiao Shisan?"

"Your Majesty, patrol soldiers outside the city heard a noise at an alley entrance. When they arrived, they found the injured Ninth Prince and several Shangshu's second sons. Among them, the Ninth Prince was the most seriously injured. His legs were crippled and he might not be able to stand up again for the rest of his life. The murderer..."

When he said this, Jin Xuan hesitated and dared not say more.

Seeing this, Emperor Mingde's heart sank: "Speak!"

Jin Xuan lowered his head and told Emperor Mingde everything.

"Now, the patrol soldiers have surrounded the little prince, but the little prince has been resisting and has injured dozens of soldiers guarding the city. This matter has alarmed the Dali Temple."

Emperor Mingde stood up suddenly, put on his dragon robe and hurried out.

Jin Xuan hurriedly followed behind.

In an alley somewhere in Tianqi City, dozens of soldiers guarding the city surrounded Xiao Ruolin.

The noise was so loud that it attracted the public to watch. The public talked about it and accused the young prince of being cruel and ruthless.

In response, Xiao Ruolin remained silent and just confronted the soldiers guarding the city with a stubborn face.

In his arms, was the trembling daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

There was a pool of blood on the ground. It was the blood of the Ninth Prince Xiao Jingxia. The other party had been taken away, but it was estimated that he would have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

He had never expected that things would develop to this point.

Before the incident became a big deal, he offered money to passers-by to send the girl back to his mansion.

But the girl was very sensitive. She kept curling up in his arms and refused to leave. Her body kept shaking.

Xiao Ruolin realized that the other party was frightened and no one was willing to believe it.

He could understand the girl's feelings. A young girl was suddenly stripped and violated by a group of playboys. If it were any girl, she would probably be left with a psychological shadow.

But now the soldiers wouldn't let him leave. He was holding a person, and wanted to force his way in, but was afraid of hurting the girl on the way.

He was less than eight years old, and only 1.6 meters tall. He could only hold the girl with difficulty. His limbs were not fully developed yet, and there were many restrictions. It was difficult for him to escape unscathed, not to mention that he was facing the elite defenders of the city.

"Stop!"

Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a sharp sound of horse hooves coming from far away, and then he saw a handsome young man wearing green brocade clothes and riding a tall horse galloping from the official road.

Xiao Ruolin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother!"

The man was the sixth prince of Beili, Yong'an King Xiao Chuhe.

He rode his horse to the front of the crowd, tightened the reins, looked at the leading general with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?!"

The general guarding the city naturally recognized him, and immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Report to the Sixth Prince, according to the laws of Beili, fighting is not allowed in Tianqi City. The Thirteenth Prince broke the law knowingly and injured the Ninth Prince and the sons of the six Shangshu. I am just catching the criminal!"

Xiao Chuhe showed anger on his face and sneered: "Ha! What a good one who broke the law knowingly. This prince has seen the Thirteenth Brother violate the Beili law for the first time. In this case, this prince will personally interrogate him."

After speaking, Xiao Chuhe turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Xiao Ruolin.

Xiao Ruolin immediately greeted him: "Brother!"

Xiao Chuhe narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and his sharp eyes fell on the girl who was curled up in a ball.

The girl's clothes were disheveled, her beautiful face was covered with tear marks, and her body was covered with bruises, which made her look particularly miserable.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Xiao Chuhe's pupils suddenly contracted.

Xiao Ruolin didn't notice his brother's abnormality, but just walked up and said to him: "Brother, let them all disperse, I will send this girl home."

Faced with his brother's innocence, Xiao Chuhe sighed secretly.

"Brother, you did it wrong!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruolin immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Brother! Why do you say that my brother did it wrong when you haven't understood the whole story yet?"

With the habits of the ninth brother, Xiao Chuhe naturally knew why his brother did this, and also understood why his brother did this.

It's just...

"No matter what happened, it's a fact that you injured Lao Jiu. Brothers killing each other is no small matter." Xiao Chuhe shook his head.

"A dirty and despicable guy wants to kill me. I will even cut off his legs." Xiao Ruolin frowned.

Hearing that Lao Jiu wanted to kill his brother, Xiao Chuhe quickly checked Xiao Ruolin's body and found that his brother had no wounds. He breathed a sigh of relief.

He frowned and said, "Ruolin, tell me everything that happened."

Then, Xiao Ruolin told Xiao Chuhe the cause and process of everything.

After listening to Xiao Ruolin's narration, Xiao Chuhe's eyebrows twisted into a ball.

Although this matter was led by Lao Jiu, it was Ruolin who took action first, not to mention the girl in front of him...

But compared with the current trouble, he was more relieved.

The emperor's younger brother is only eight years old, but he has a proud and righteous heart and will not go along with those playboys.

In this sense, his shortcoming is just pure impulsiveness.

At this moment, a deep shout came:

"Master Shen, the supervisor of the Dali Temple, is here! You all leave immediately!"
