More and more people gathered at the clan school.

Prince Ning and his wife were the first to arrive.

Prince Ning was dressed in a brocade robe, his face ashen.

As soon as Princess Ning entered the room, she rushed to the side of the child whose head had been bruised and battered.

"My son! My son!"

The child cried even harder when he saw his mother.

His face was covered in ink, mixed with blood, a complete mess.

"Mother! She hit me! She threw an inkstone at me!"

Princess Ning looked up, her eyes already filled with tears.

She glared at Xiao Zhaohua.

"How old are you to hit someone like that! You're trying to kill them!"

"And you!"

She pointed at Long Chengxun.

"What did he say to you? And you just let your sister hit him?"

Long Chengxun slowly lowered his head after being yelled at by her.

Xiao Zhaohua took a step forward.

"He called my brother an idiot and pushed me first. Why can't I hit him back?"

"Push you?" Princess Ning sneered.

"He's your brother! He pushed you, and you hit him on the head with an inkstone?"

You even brought a knife! How old are you! How dare you stab someone!

"It's not stuck deep enough yet. Any deeper and my son would be dead!"

Prince Ning then spoke up.

He suppressed his anger, but his voice became even more sinister.

"The young princess of the Regent's family is indeed formidable."

Bringing an inkstone and a knife to school—who taught them these rules?

"If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, I will go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager and the elders of the imperial clan!"

As he spoke, he looked around.

Xiao Fang hasn't arrived yet.

Seeing that there were only a few children present, Prince Ning became even bolder.

"A little girl like her dares to commit violence in the royal family school? It's utterly lawless!"

"Guards, seize this girl first, we'll talk about her when the Regent arrives!"

Before the servants could even move, Lu Zhao, Lin Hui, and others arrived one after another.

When Prince Ning saw Lu Zhao, his expression changed.

Lu Zhao ignored him and went to see Xiao Zhaohua first.

"Where are you hurt?"

"My knee is scraped."

Xiao Zhaohua rolled up his trouser leg.

Sure enough, there was a large gash on his fair knee.

Lu Zhao's gaze immediately darkened.

Who pushed it?

"he."

Xiao Zhaohua pointed to the eldest son of the Prince of Ning's family.

The child huddled behind Princess Ning.

"She hit me first, that's why I pushed her!"

Lu Zhao was about to rebuke Prince Ning.

Prince Ning chuckled dryly and said confidently.

"Commander Lu, these are just children playing around, don't take them seriously."

"Are you kidding me?"

A slow, unhurried voice came from outside the door.

Xiao was released.

He was dressed in red, still covered in dust, as if he had just arrived from outside the palace.

Yun Shuyao followed beside him, glancing first at Xiao Zhaohua and then at Long Chengxun.

Long Chengxun remained standing in the same spot.

Her little face was pale, her eyes were red, but she wasn't crying.

Yun Shuyao's heart tightened.

But Xiao Fang didn't rush to comfort his daughter.

He simply waved to Xiao Zhaohua.

"come over."

Xiao Zhaohua walked over.

Do you think you did the right thing?

Xiao Zhaohua looked up and answered decisively.

"right."

"Why did they insult my brother for no reason? He's so much older, and he pushed me first."

"They're shameless; they try to bully people just because they're big."

"But I'm stronger than they thought, so they didn't get the chance to bully me."

She paused.

"If I hadn't struck first, they would have kept cursing the little emperor and bullying me."

As she spoke, she exposed her knees.

"Look, he pushed me down, and my knees are all scraped up."

"Does that mean I can't fight back just because he laid a hand on me?"

Xiao Fang was silent for a moment.

He looked down at the scraped skin on his daughter's knee.

He glanced again at the short dagger she was still clutching in her hand.

He didn't curse.

Instead, he reached out and took the dagger from her hand.

"You did the right thing."

"That's not right either."

"That's right, you should rebel. As for what's wrong, Dad will teach you. Once you remember, you'll know what to do next."

After he finished speaking, he turned around.

Step by step, they walked towards Prince Ning.

Prince Ning was taken aback at first, then stepped back.

"Regent, what are you doing?"

"Children's quarrels can be resolved by talking them out; why bother..."

Xiao Fang did not answer.

His face didn't even look particularly fierce.

But those eyes were like those of a beast eyeing its prey.

Prince Ning felt a chill run down his spine.

He had witnessed Xiao Fang kill someone.

He knew that Xiao Fangzhen's face would be this calm when he truly intended to kill.

"The Regent!"

Prince Ning's voice cracked.

"You're going to worry about such a small thing..."

Xiao Fang didn't say anything.

He simply raised his hand.

A flash of light.

The short dagger plunged straight into Prince Ning's throat.

Blood spurted out with a "plop".

Like a dark red arrow, it splashed all over the face of the people around Prince Ning.

Prince Ning's eyes widened.

He made two "hoarse" sounds in his throat.

Then, it fell straight down.

Princess Ning's scream stunned the entire school.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

She rushed over, hugged Prince Ning, and was covered in blood.

Everyone in the courtyard froze.

Lu Zhao was not surprised at all.

Lin Huiyin even started fanning herself.

Those princes and clan elders who arrived later all stopped at the door.

Xiao Fang acted as if nothing had happened.

He turned around and walked back to Xiao Zhaohua.

"Do you understand now?"

Xiao Zhaohua looked up at him.

"Taking action was the right thing to do."

"But since we've already formed a deadly feud, we must nip it in the bud and eliminate any future troubles."

Xiao Zhaohua's eyes lit up.

She replied very seriously.

"Yes, Father, I have remembered."

Xiao Fang nodded.

"You have done a very good job."

If you do as your father taught you, it will be even better.

When he said this, his tone was surprisingly gentle.

It's like praising your daughter for her neat handwriting today.

Yun Shuyao stood to the side without saying a word.

She looked at the corpse on the ground.

She glanced at Xiao Fang again.

She understood that he wasn't teaching his daughter to be unruly.

He was teaching her that from now on, whoever offends her should not be given the chance to retaliate.

If we let the Prince of Ning's family off lightly today...

Tomorrow, there will be a second and a third person who will dare to bully Long Chengxun.

Xiao Fang didn't wait for them to grow up.

He wanted to nip all other ideas in the bud from the very first thing he did.

He turned his head and looked at Princess Ning, who was lying paralyzed on the ground.

Then he looked at the two older children who had already wet their pants in fear.

"Lin Hui, take the Dragon City Guards to the Prince Ning's Mansion."

For the crime of deceiving the emperor, his family property was confiscated, he was executed, and all the slaves in his household were sold off.

Upon hearing this, Princess Ning's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

In less than half a day, the news spread throughout the entire royal family.

The clan elders, branch officials, and princes all felt a chill run down their spines.

Especially those who spread rumors behind the scenes that "the little emperor is an idiot."

Some people wish they could take back what they said back then.

Someone drove all the gossipy servants out of the mansion overnight.

Some people even locked themselves in the door and gave their sons a severe beating.

"From now on, stay away from the little emperor in school! And definitely don't mess with that little princess!"

From then on, no one in the clan school dared to bully Long Chengxun anymore.

Even when the Master was lecturing, his voice softened several degrees.

He was terrified that if he said the wrong thing, the regent would put a knife to his neck.
