The few people were in a stalemate, Yongqi was in a dilemma, and Fu Erkang came out to smooth things over.

"Hey, we're all friends, don't be impulsive. So, please give me some face. Let's each take a step back. Yongheng, you apologize to Xiaoyanzi, and Xiaoyanzi apologizes to Jingyan, and then we can let this matter go."

Jingyan found it funny to hear that Fulkang was asking for help from Da Naqiao again. There were only princesses and princes and generals here. How could he, a lowly guard, get the face?

Yongheng snorted coldly, not buying it at all: "Who the hell are you? Are you trying to save face by being friends with me again?"

He had not forgotten that this dog slave had dared to attack his sister a few days ago. He listened to his sister and did not fight back himself, but that did not mean he could swallow this humiliation.

"You!" Erkang clenched his fists and was about to attack, but suddenly remembered that he was no longer the favored royal guard he used to be, so he silently put his fists down.

He remembered this humiliation and would repay it double in the future.

Yongheng remained unmoved. Jingyan and others all turned their attention to Yongqi, to see how he would end up.

Yongqi just risked his life for the beauty he loved, but now that he has calmed down he knows that he was too impulsive.

After all, Yongheng is the only son of Prince Guo, and he will naturally inherit the throne in the future. Fu Lingan has already become a general.

But no matter how much the emperor loves the Fifth Prince, he is ultimately just a bald prince with little power.

There is no benefit for him to offend these people.

But seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yongqi could only bite the bullet and follow Erkang's words, "Then you should apologize to each other and take a step back."

After saying that, he looked at Xiaoyanzi and said, "Xiaoyanzi, it was wrong for you to hit me. You should apologize to Jingyan first."

But Xiaoyanzi had no idea what was going on, and when she heard Yongqi asked her to apologize, she refused.

"Yongqi! Erkang! How come you guys are rebelling too?"

Yongqi explained softly, "Xiaoyanzi, this isn't a rebellion. It was wrong for you to take action. Just apologize to Jingyan and they'll let you go."

Xiaoyanzi still insisted: "Aren't you the Fifth Prince? How can you be afraid of a minister? Are you a man?"

Yongqi couldn't stand these words. Being questioned by the woman he loved, he got so angry that he even planned to take action.

Fortunately, the emperor on the other side finally noticed the tense situation here and walked over.

"What are you doing?"

When Xiaoyanzi saw the emperor, she immediately wilted, and Fu Lingan and Yongheng also let go of her hands.

Several people lowered their heads.

The emperor glanced around and said, "Ling'an, tell me what happened."

When Yongqi heard the emperor ask Fu Ling'an first, his face turned ugly for a moment.

Yongqi closed his eyes and stopped talking, waiting for the emperor's judgment.

After Fu Ling'an saluted, he recounted what had just happened in a very objective manner.

The more the emperor listened, the more his brows furrowed.

Especially when he heard that the Fifth Prince was trying to use his power to oppress others, his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could have pinched a fly to death.

Yongqi is really too powerful.

Yongqi looked at the emperor's eyes and knew that he was doomed.

Without any hesitation, he knelt down happily.

The most urgent thing is to admit the mistake first and let the emperor calm down.

"Father, it's all because of my son's impulsiveness."

Seeing that Yongqi was not completely unconscious, the emperor's complexion looked a little better.

He ignored Yongqi, just glanced at him lightly, and then yelled at Xiaoyanzi.

"Xiaoyanzi! Can you please stop messing around when I'm not watching you?"

Even "I" came out, obviously he was angry.

However, it is not certain whether he is angry with Xiaoyanzi or Yongqi.

Xiaoyanzi was still unconvinced: "How could I be fooling around?"

The emperor glared at her and said, "Isn't this happening yet? Hurry up and apologize to Jingyan! We should set off."

Xiaoyanzi still refused to give in: "I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize?"

"You're wrong for wanting to hit someone! If you don't apologize, I'll send you back, and you won't be allowed to go on the Southern Tour."

Xiaoyanzi has always been well versed in the art of self-preservation. Seeing that the emperor looked angry and did not seem to be joking, she apologized reluctantly.

"Yongqi, you were impulsive today. I won't punish you while you're away from home. This won't happen again.

It's great that you two know how to protect your sister, but we are all brothers and sisters, so we should be united and friendly. You must not follow Xiaoyanzi in making trouble again."

"Yes, my son/nephew knows he is wrong."

Seeing that the emperor did not pursue the matter and let it go, Yongqi breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how scared he was just now, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

When the emperor was joking with the younger ones, he obviously acted like a kind old father, but when it came to sensitive issues, he immediately became the majestic and stern emperor.

Seeing that Xiaoyanzi was still very unconvinced, Yongqi sighed.

Fortunately, the emperor arrived in time, otherwise I would have acted impulsively.

Not only will he be beaten physically, but he will also be in a lot of trouble, and the emperor will no longer value him.

The few of them continued on their journey. E Min found a temple ahead where they would stay overnight.

It was just slightly different from the morning. Yongheng brought many storybooks to Jingyan Qing'er.

Seeing the two of them puzzled, he scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I saw that you two were a little bored this morning, so I rode to a nearby town to buy it during my break."

"Brother! You finally did something reliable!"

The emperor also praised Yongheng highly, "No wonder you disappeared for a while just now. You are really acting like a big brother now."

Yongheng, who was praised madly, secretly glanced at Qing'er's expression, and was relieved when he saw that she was obviously very happy.

Yongheng was really thoughtful. The two of them happily held the storybook and started reading it.

Xiaoyanzi was in a bad mood and no longer laughed and played as she did in the morning. She was still sulking because she had just been forced to apologize to Jingyan.

The Emperor really doesn't dote on her anymore. Every time she has a conflict with Jingyan, it's clearly Jingyan's fault, but she always has to apologize.

The more Xiaoyanzi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

The emperor didn't tolerate her like this and started playing chess with Ziwei. Jingyan and Qing'er chatted intermittently while flipping through the storybook.

The two talked about their anticipation for the southern tour and the scenery and delicious food along the way.

Xiaoyanzi was not one who could stand loneliness, and soon she forgot her anger. After listening to the two people chatting, she couldn't help but started to interrupt.

"The most important thing is that we can punish evil and promote good along the way, and help those in need when we see injustice!"

Hearing Xiaoyanzi's words, the emperor couldn't help laughing out loud: "Xiaoyanzi really hasn't changed. She always wants to travel the world with a sword."

Ziwei smiled and agreed: "Xiaoyanzi has the heart of a chivalrous woman."

Xiaoyanzi was very proud: "Of course, you understand me very well."

Jingyan looked at the heroic Xiaoyanzi and nodded secretly. In fact, this kind of Xiaoyanzi was the Xiaoyanzi she knew, heroic, punishing evil and promoting good, robbing the rich to help the poor. Why was there such a big difference in the palace?

Jingyan didn't understand at this time that there is a saying that the environment affects people.
