Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

He raised his hand again, ready to strike, but this time Xiao Huan grabbed his wrist and said, "Father, if you want to be angry, you have to find the right person! These foxes were not hunted by my son. Someone deliberately put them among my prey."

As he spoke, Xiao Huan shook off Emperor Beiling's hand, pointed at Xiao Zhan beside him, and said viciously.

When Emperor Beiling heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Zhan: "Xiao Yunche, is what he said true?"

If it was really Xiao Zhan who did it, he would have enough reason to teach him a lesson.

Even if the Queen Mother heard about it, she wouldn't be able to say anything.

"Father, you know that my hunting area is in the north. You also know the environment in the north. If I could really hunt four foxes there, how could I only get this much?"

After saying that, he reached out and lifted the red cloth himself, revealing several birds flapping their wings inside.

These flying birds are very special in appearance, with gorgeous feathers and three long tails that drag on the ground, making them look a bit like a phoenix.

"Your Majesty, the hunting grounds in the north are desolate and rugged. It is already very difficult for Your Highness to catch these birds. It is impossible for animals like foxes to appear in such a place."

Ye Rongxiu took the lead and stepped forward, bowing and speaking for Xiao Zhan.

He took the lead, and Yong'an Marquis Xie Yu followed suit, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty. Everyone knows that the hunting area in the north is a desolate place. There are mostly cliffs and there is little food. How could a spiritual creature like a fox choose to live there? So I think that His Royal Highness Prince Huan's statement needs to be discussed."

Xie Yu spoke very cautiously and gave Xiao Huan enough face in public by not saying anything too extreme.

The two court officials spoke for Xiao Zhan, and every word they said was factual and irrefutable.

This made Emperor Beiling unable to find a reason to punish Xiao Zhan.

"Your Majesty, if a person really wants to accomplish something, external factors cannot stop him. Even if the hunting area in the north is so desolate, with the ability of His Royal Highness Prince Gong, he should be able to hunt a few foxes."

Jiang Xue almost vomited when she heard Wu Meifeng's delicate voice.

This woman is really disgusting.

Jiang Xue glanced at Wu Meifeng and met her provocative gaze.

"Princess Qinwen is from a military family, so she must be used to a life of luxury. She doesn't even know the basic terrain and species distribution. If Princess Qinwen doesn't know what the hunting area in the north is like, she'd better not talk nonsense, lest she be laughed at and not only lose face, but also damage the reputation of the royal family."

Jiang Xue ridiculed Wu Meifeng mercilessly in public, causing her face to turn pale and blue.

This woman doesn't even give herself face in public. Doesn't she even put on a show?

Wu Meifeng looked around, trying to find someone to support her, but when she looked around, no one took the initiative to help her.

Even the queen, who had always supported her, turned her face away and pretended not to hear anything.

This made Wu Meifeng feel even more resentful.

Especially when she saw Lu Linyi sitting next to Jiang Xue and secretly laughing at what Jiang Xue said, she was almost burned with anger.

These bitches actually teamed up to laugh at her. She would never let this go.

"Jiang Xue, you..." Wu Meifeng was so angry that she stood up and called Jiang Xue's name directly, her face flushed, ready to have a good argument with Jiang Xue.

"Enough, what are you arguing about?" Emperor Beiling felt a headache coming from her noise, and he interrupted her with a loud shout.

"You evil creature, you did something wrong yourself, not only did you not reflect on it, but you even dared to slander your relatives in public. If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you really think the rules of the royal family are just for show?"

No matter what, now that this matter has started, there must be an explanation.

Since Xiao Zhan cannot be convicted, we can only use Xiao Huan as an example.

Anyway, this kid has never been normal. Since he returned to the capital, the troubles he has caused are more difficult than counting stars.

Before, in order to use him to restrain Xiao Zhan, he turned a blind eye.

But now, he actually openly broke the rules during the hunt. If we let him continue to act recklessly, there will be chaos sooner or later. I might as well take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and let him know that in Beiling, I have the final say.

"Someone, come! Drag King Huan away and punish him with thirty strokes of the cane."

At the command, a group of guards responded and planned to attack Xiao Huan from both sides and take him away.

"Who dares?" Xiao Huan roared, murderous.

His vertical pupils glared around, scaring the guards so much that they dared not move.

"Sixth brother, I advise you not to disobey the imperial edict, otherwise your father can let you out of the ice prison, and he can also let you go back." Xiao Zhan turned around and said to him.

Xiao Zhan's words were like a bucket of cold water, waking Xiao Huan up.

That’s right, Xiao Yan still has the final say in Bei Ling now, and he has not yet obtained absolute power.

With just one word from Xiao Yan, he might have to return from Yujing to that living hell.

He didn't want that.

The murderous aura on his body slowly dissipated, but the hatred towards Xiao Zhan in his heart grew stronger.

Seeing that he seemed to have calmed down a little, the guards looked at each other, then quickly stepped forward and took him away for execution.

The dull sound of the rod hitting the body, mixed with Xiao Huan's occasional low hums, came from a distance.

Jiang Xue vaguely smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

With a "crack", the sound of the last blow of the thirty sticks and the broken bones was clearly heard by everyone.

Xiao Huan's leg was broken.

Everyone was shocked.

This is the first prince whose legs have been broken by caning since the founding of Beiling.

Even Emperor Beiling did not expect that a mere thirty strokes of the cane could cripple Xiao Huan's legs.

Looking around, I saw Xiao Huan gritting his teeth and trying to support his upper body to get up.

He is a prince, the high and mighty King Huan of Beiling. Even if his legs are broken, he cannot lie on the ground and be laughed at.

After all, he is Xiao Yan's biological son. The spirit of not tolerating insults and valuing face more than life is exactly the same as Xiao Yan.

His vertical pupils, suppressing the pain, swept across Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan with full hatred.

One day, he will make all those who insulted him pay the price.

Xiao Huan's eyes deeply touched the heartstrings of Emperor Beiling.

This unwillingness to surrender look is exactly the same as when he was young.

A sense of resonance arose in his heart, making Emperor Beiling suddenly want to protect the son he originally despised.

"Come here, call the imperial physician to treat King Huan's leg."

At the command, a hint of fatherly concern appeared in his eyes, which were originally full of anger.

When the imperial physician arrived, he even ordered the guard who broke Xiao Huan's legs to be beheaded on the spot, on the charge of attempting to murder a member of the royal family.

This scene frightened everyone present, especially the guards and maids.
