Although he was reluctant, thinking about the mistakes he had made recently and looking at the palace servants kneeling in the room, Qi Chen still did not dare to make a mistake and could only endure it obediently.

A few days ago, Qi Yan was upset because of Shen Wan's matter, and he was busy preparing for the wedding, so he didn't keep an eye on the little emperor so closely.

Children are playful by nature and have poor self-discipline. Since he took the throne at the age of ten, Qi Chen's daily schedule has been full for nearly three years.

Heavy study tasks and various government affairs require him to handle decisively. Many times, he doesn't even get enough sleep. If he doesn't do well, he will be punished.

His nerves were always tense, and with a little encouragement from someone around him, it was very easy for Qi Chen to slack off.

Yesterday at the martial arts training ground, the little emperor's riding and archery skills seemed to have declined significantly. Although Qi Yan was a little angry, he didn't say anything more and just led him to practice for half an hour.

Because of the previous laxity, his physical fitness had already declined, but he suddenly increased his intensity. His whole body was tired and sore, and Qi Chen overslept this morning.

In front of all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, Qi Yan couldn't help but send someone from the palace to call him. He called him twice before calling him.

After the morning court, he checked the little emperor's homework, but he didn't do it well.

There happened to be government affairs to deal with, so Qi Yan gave the other party an hour to make up for the homework he had left yesterday.

But when he came back after handling the matter, he found that instead of studying in the room, the little emperor climbed up the tree and dug out a bird's nest.

The servants helped stand guard and saw Qi Yan coming back from a distance, so they gave the little emperor a hint in advance.

According to their original plan, they might be able to hide it from the enemy, but maybe Qi Chen was nervous and in a hurry, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell from the branch.

The anger that Qi Yan had been suppressing for the past two days was finally completely ignited.

After Doctor Liu treated the little emperor's injuries and bowed before leaving, Qi Yan's eyes swept over the servants one by one, "It's not good to take care of your majesty. All of them will be whipped fifty times each."

After giving the order in a deep voice, Qi Yan's eyes moved around and finally landed on a young eunuch kneeling in the middle who looked to be about the same age as the young emperor.

"The accompanying eunuch, drag him out and kill him with a cane!"

"Your Majesty, please spare your life. I know I was wrong." The palace people cried and begged for mercy, but the guards who obeyed the orders were completely indifferent and stepped forward to drag the people outside.

Seeing this, Qi Chen quickly stopped him: "Stop!"

But the guards were all Qi Yan's men, and they seemed to have ignored the little emperor's orders.

"I told you to stop, are you going to resist and disobey?"

Seeing the palace servants who were serving him being forcibly dragged away by the guards one by one, Qi Chen felt anxious, forgetting that his ankle was still injured, and quickly stood up from the bench.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

But now that the situation was urgent, he ignored the pain for the moment, limped forward, pushed away the guard who was escorting the young eunuch, and stood in front of him.

"Uncle Nine Emperors, they are just following my orders, what's wrong with them?"

He had just swallowed his anger because he was afraid of offending the Nine Emperors Uncle and hurting the servants who served him, but his compromise seemed to be unable to calm the other party down. In this way, Qi Chen couldn't care less.

"I asked them to serve by your side to give timely advice and assist in correcting things, but not to encourage you to commit suicide. If you neglect your homework, climb a tree and get injured, they are derelict in their duties.

Servants and their masters have always been one. If the master makes mistakes, the servants are not immune to them. You have grown up in the palace. Don't you know this truth? Do you need me to teach you again? "

The little emperor's defense of the palace people undoubtedly further angered Qi Yan. He turned to the guards and ordered in a cold voice: "Pull the emperor away!"

After all, he was young, not very knowledgeable, and was outnumbered. How could Qi Chen compete with the guards.

Seeing that the guard was about to pull him away, and not knowing where he got the courage, Qi Chen suddenly shouted anxiously and angrily:

"Uncle Nine Emperors, I am the Nine-Five-Year-Old Lord of Xiling Kingdom, how can you not take me seriously!"

As the little emperor finished speaking, the entire Xuanzheng Hall fell into a mysterious silence.

Except for the young eunuch who was protected by Qi Chen, the rest of the palace people had already been dragged outside, pinned down on benches and flogged.

The room fell silent, and the sound of whips hitting flesh and screams coming from outside became particularly clear.

Let alone a servant, even the little emperor's heart could not help but tremble, and he did not even dare to look directly into the man's eyes.
