Xiao Yi turned her face to Shen Yuxi, expecting her to frown and even glare at him.

Unexpectedly, he caught her smiling face. Xiao Yi froze, staring blankly at the smile on Shen Yuanxi's lips. Her heart was pounding.

Yuanxi actually wasn't afraid of him committing such atrocities. She even laughed. So beautiful!

"Eighth prince, the twenty canes have been completed." Xiao Yi was still lost in thought when his soul was called back to his body.

Turning around, Xiao Yi glanced at the bloodied Princess Hui He and said ruthlessly, "You still have the nerve to stay here looking like this?" Take her away and bring her back to the Duke An Palace. Tell the Duke An to educate his daughter properly, how are you going to talk to her in the future? "

Shen Yi frowned slightly. Xiao Yi's actions … It was really a bit inappropriate.

It was wrong of him to let the staff chastise Princess Hui He, but with the Emperor's favor, even so, he would at most be reprimanded once.

But now … Yet, he ordered his men to chase Princess Hui He out of the garden of the national banquet. If the Emperor found out, he would probably be furious.

As a prince, he didn't want to interfere with the emperor's affairs. What did Xiao Yi mean by that?

With Xiao Yi's order, the imperial bodyguard was also stunned. He hesitated for a moment before forcing himself to drag Princess Hui He out of her chair under her chilly gaze. He dragged her out without the slightest trace of mercy.

A bloody scar was left on the ground. Shen Yuxi stared at the scene as a thought suddenly popped into her mind: [the eighth prince is furious, and blood is everywhere!]

Princess Hui He was dragged out, but the garden was still silent, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

"The emperor has arrived!" A sharp shout suddenly rang in the garden. Everyone jumped in fright, and after reacting, they all kneeled down to the ground, respectfully welcoming the arrival of the emperor.

The footsteps never stopped, and finally stopped at the entrance to the garden. The emperor's majestic voice slowly sounded. "What's going on?"

Xiao Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, straightened her back and calmly said, "Royal father, Princess Hui He spoke rudely and slandered Eldest Miss Shen. This son has punished her for a little while, if anything is amiss, I beg your forgiveness, royal father."

The emperor's face changed drastically when he heard this. From his understanding of Xiao Yi, he knew that his daughter wasn't just punished a little!

Seeing the bloody trail that was dragged out, Duke An's face turned ashen. He immediately clasped his hands at the emperor and said, "Your majesty, this old official still has some matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first."

"Right." The emperor slightly nodded, indicating that Duke An should withdraw.

As he turned around, he glanced at Xiao Yi and his companion with a dark expression.

When he saw Xiao Yi's mocking expression, he was stunned for a moment before storming off angrily. He didn't even look back as he left.

All the officials watched as the prince left, then looked at the emperor who was radiating anger all over. All of them shuddered and sighed in their hearts. This lawless eighth prince had angered the emperor again …

The emperor's father looked towards Shen Yuxi with a worried expression. He wanted to say something, but eventually shut his mouth.

Xiao Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, sneered as her eyes glittered endlessly. He was doing this on purpose. He wanted to let these women know that with Yuan Xi's protection, they couldn't mock and ridicule her, much less slander her!

Because they weren't worthy!

Princess Huihe was reprimanded by the staff because of what she said. Yuanxi was caned, so how could no one accompany her?

Since this Princess Hui He had bumped into him, then it was her bad luck.

The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth curled up in a cold smile. He looked unruly and unruly. Although he said that he was forgiving, his expression didn't contain the slightest bit of remorse, nor did he show any signs of wrongdoing.

The emperor's expression immediately darkened. He coldly snorted and said, "Old Eighth, you really are my good son!"

Xiao Yi raised his eyes to look directly at the emperor, only to see Xiao Yuan right next to him. His eyes immediately darkened. So the reason his father had come all of a sudden was because of someone guiding him!

"Father praises you too much. This son of mine has indeed always treated being Father's good son as my standard." Xiao Yi pursed her lips.

Shen Yuxi's eyelids twitched as she felt an ominous premonition rise in her heart. She couldn't have Xiao Yi take the blame for her. Just as she was about to speak, her body froze in place, unable to utter a single word.

Someone … He had opened her acupoints!

Beside her, Xiao Yi looked even more arrogant than before. Shen Yuxi's heart trembled. Xiao Yi was … Was he planning to blame everything on himself?

Although it was related to Shen Yuxi at the beginning, Xiao Yi was the one to punish her, and Princess Hui He was the one to punish her. Although it was related to Shen Yuxi at the start, it was Xiao Yi who was punished, and Princess Hui He was the one to be punished.

However, looking at the arrogant expression on Xiao Yi's face, the emperor was enraged. No matter how reasonable and reasonable he was.

"Humph!" Eighth Brother, if I don't punish you in a few months, you'll forget who you are again! Someone come, take the Eighth Prince to the imperial shrine and send him to his knees. The Emperor was infuriated. He flicked a glance at Shen Yuxi and spoke coldly.

Xiao Yi lifted his head to look at the gloating expression on Xiao Yuan's face. His eyes dimmed as he inwardly snorted, but he didn't try to defend himself.

Shen Yuxi was on the verge of tears, but she couldn't move or speak. She could only watch as the emperor led his officials further and further away. Finally, they disappeared.

When the noble ladies in the garden saw this, they also stood up and followed behind the emperor and the ministers. Seeing how they hurried to follow, it was as if tigers and wolves were chasing after them.

By the time everyone had left, only Xiao Yi and Shen Xi were left kneeling in the garden.

Xiao Yi turned her head to look at Shen Yuxi for two seconds before reaching out a hand to help her up.

Shen Yuanxi gritted her teeth and glared at him, "This has nothing to do with you. Why do you want to take over?" It's not good for you. "

"Yuanxi, I'm fine. At the most, royal father will release me tomorrow." Xiao Yi reached out a hand to smooth the hair on her cheek, then leaned over to coax her. A gentle light shone in her eyes.

"What's that?" Xiao Yi smiled nonchalantly.

Shen Yuxi turned her head and glared at him angrily. Just as she was about to speak, a guard walked up to her. "Eighth Prince, please follow your subordinate to the royal shrine."

"Alright." Xiao Yi glanced at the guard before turning back to Shen Yuxi. With a comforting look in her eyes, she whispered, "I'm leaving. Apart from the slightly better ones, don't bother with the rest."
