Xuan Feiran chewed on these two words and looked at Xie Chen with cold eyes: "Really? In that case, the eldest prince Xuanchen committed treason and maimed his brothers and sisters, and was punished with ten military sticks and house arrest for half a year. Anyone who dares to plead for mercy will be punished."
Xuan Feiran's punishment was too severe for a seven-year-old child.
Not everyone can endure the Ten Armies Rolling Back.
“Your Majesty…” Concubine Ling knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Changle is not in any serious trouble now, and it is too unfair for the emperor to punish a child like this.

"Does your Royal Concubine want to be punished along with your son?" Xuan Feiran looked at Royal Concubine Ling coldly and asked in a cold voice.
Concubine Ling was about to say something but was stopped by Xie Chen.
"Dad..." Concubine Ling looked at Xie Chen anxiously, her eyes full of worry for the child.
Xie Chen glanced at Concubine Ling and said, "This matter ends here."
"Xie Ling, you have taught your son well. But he even dares to hit my people. This shows that he doesn't take me seriously." The emperor looked at Xie Ling meaningfully and said.
Xie Ling looked at Lai Fu beside her, who had a wound on his face. Such a wound was nothing to Xie Ling, but Xuan Feiran not only made a fuss about it, but also warned her here.
"Your Majesty, is Changle your daughter and Chen'er not your son? Isn't it unfair for Your Majesty to impose such a heavy punishment of Ten Military Sticks? And you said that Chen'er committed insubordination, who did he offend?" Xie Ling didn't care about so much. She didn't even dare to think about what would happen to Xuanchen after being hit by the Ten Military Sticks.
"This king." Su Yu suddenly spoke when Xuan Feiran was about to speak.
What he said made Xie Ling very angry.
"He ignored my royal brother's order and asked me to kneel down and apologize. He didn't know my identity, and I won't say anything, but couldn't he recognize my royal brother's voice? When my royal brother had already scolded him to stop, he still took the scooter and smashed it on Changle's head. If it had really hit Changle's head, Changle would have been either dead or injured." Su Yu took the scooter and put it in front of Xie Ling.

"Changle is fine now, why bother about it?"
The queen finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up, walked over, and slapped Xie Ling hard in the face.
"Xie Ling, are you blind and don't see that my daughter's face is injured like this? My daughter is a legitimate princess. If Su Yu hadn't rescued her in time, we don't know what happened to Changle now. And you told me that everything is fine?" The queen was really angry.
Especially seeing Xie Ling's casual look as if nothing had happened.
"If something really happened to Changle, do you think Xuanchen, a bastard, could afford to pay for it? Can he bear the crime of murdering the legitimate princess?" So what if she was a concubine? According to normal thinking, she was just a concubine in a different status.
A bastard's son dared to lay hands on a legitimate daughter. Xie Ling was very courageous.
Since she became a royal concubine, no one had ever said such words to her. The Queen's words "bastard" really hurt Xie Ling.
"Bring Xuanchen here." Xuan Feiran spoke at this time.
When Xie Ling heard Xi Xuan Feiran's emotionless voice, his face turned pale. Was he really so cruel
The people from the Censorate looked at each other. After this incident, it seemed that the eldest prince had no chance of becoming the crown prince.
How can someone who is disliked by the emperor be qualified to be the crown prince
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is missing." The person who went out came back and said.
"What a good Xuanchen! He even dared to run away when I punished him to kneel. This is the child taught by the imperial concubine. Very good." Xuan Feiran said meaningfully.
Xie Ling was completely dumbfounded, and even Xie Chen frowned. It seemed that they had spoiled Xuan Chen in the past two or three years, to the point that he could do something disobedient.
"Your Majesty, please spare Chen'er. He is still a child." Xie Ling begged for mercy anxiously.
However, Xuan Feiran sneered: "Child? You are only seven years old now and you dare to disobey the emperor's order. When you grow up, will you dare to kill your father and seize the throne?"
What's wrong with being seven years old? A seven-year-old child is not as sensible as a five-year-old child. Xie Ling really said this.
"Your Majesty..." Xie Ling became completely anxious after hearing Xuan Feiran's words.
Xie Chen looked at Xie Ling who was still trying to speak, stretched out his hand to pull him away, his expression extremely serious: "That's enough."
"Dad..."

"I've said enough."
Can't she see that the emperor is determined to punish Xuanchen
If Xuanchen had not disobeyed the emperor's order, there would still be room for a turnaround in this matter, but the problem is that Xuanchen disobeyed the order at this critical juncture, which was challenging the emperor's bottom line.
If Xie Ling continued to talk, the only ones who would suffer in the end would be their Xie family.
"Go and find the person for me." He still didn't believe it. How could a half-grown child dare to do anything
"yes."
Xie Ling watched the Imperial Guards go out to look for someone, especially Xuan Feiran's ambiguous expression after they left.
Their hands were simply clasped together, and time passed little by little. After about half an hour, Xuanchen was brought over by the Royal Guards.
"You bastards, I'm going to let my mother chop off your heads."
Hearing the angry shouting outside, Concubine Ling almost fainted on the ground, her face turned pale and ugly.

Su Yu supported her chin and looked at the father and daughter of the Xie family whose faces changed because of Xuan Chen's words.
The eldest prince really gave him a huge surprise.
She called Concubine Ling "mother" in front of the Queen, and it seemed like she did so many times.
"How dare you, a royal concubine, let the eldest prince call you mother? Xie Ling, it seems that you regard the imperial palace as your Xie family? You can let the child call you whatever you want." Xuan Feiran was not angry but laughed sarcastically.
Xie Ling was unable to utter a word. He knelt there trembling with fear, not even daring to look up at Xuan Feiran.
"Mother, please kill them quickly. You said that this Xuan Kingdom will belong to us in the future. So what if I beat that bitch to death?" At this time, Xuan Chen seemed to have not realized the seriousness of the matter. He kept shouting after seeing Concubine Ling.
Xie Chen glared at his daughter with embarrassment in his eyes. Xie Ling actually taught her child in this way. No wonder things had come to this point.
"Someone, drag the eldest prince away and beat him with a stick. Anyone who dares to show mercy will not be let off easily." Xuan Feiran was really angry.
The person who brought Xuanchen in dragged Xuanchen out again, and soon Xie Ling heard screams from outside.
"Xie Ling attempted to rebel and was sent to the cold palace for life. Xie Chen was fined half a year's salary and confined to his home for three months for failing to discipline him strictly." If it wasn't the right time to take action against the Xie family, Xuan Feiran would definitely make them pay the price.
"Your Majesty, I, your old minister, thank you." Xie Chen knew that Xuan Feiran had shown mercy, otherwise, based on what Xuan Chen said, their Xie family would definitely be implicated.
"Xiaoyu's identity, watch your mouth and leave."
"yes."
