The courtyard of Kunning Palace is spacious, but only a few peonies are planted there, leaving a large area empty.

The eldest prince looked around with satisfaction and thought it was a good place to have a friendly competition.

He immediately released his arm from Longkodo's neck.

"Moon seems to like you a lot. Show me what you're capable of, and let me see what makes you worthy of my sister's affection!"

The eldest prince also liked his younger sister Muyue very much.

It's one thing to lose to Baocheng, but we can't be worse than an outsider!

Thinking of his martial arts master's praise for his talent, the eldest prince looked at Longkodo with a hint of confidence in his eyes.

Longkodo hesitated for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before finally nodding and accepting the eldest prince's invitation to a duel.

When Mu Yue and the Crown Prince chased after them, they saw that the two had already assumed a fighting stance.

Mu Yue didn't understand how things had suddenly turned out this way.

She clearly wanted Longkodo to stop his two brothers from getting into a physical fight, but it turned into a conflict between him and his eldest brother.

Longkodo's entry into the palace must have been with the Emperor's permission.

He was also the younger brother of Consort Tong, and the Emperor valued Consort Tong and Lady Tongjia very much.

If he knew that Baoqing and Longkodo had gotten into a fight, he would definitely be unhappy.

Baoqing's brother has just been released from confinement.

If things escalate, Father Emperor will surely punish Brother Baoqing again for the sake of Lady Tongjia.

Just thinking about it gave Mu Yueguang a headache.

If I had known this earlier, I would have been better off asking my mother for help.

How can we stop Baoqing and Longkodo now?

Mu Yue pursed her lips, looking troubled.

Before she could come up with a solution, the eldest prince had already taken action.

Longkodo, of course, wouldn't wait to be beaten.

The two started fighting, exchanging punches and kicks.

As soon as the Empress and Consort Tong stepped out of the palace, they saw the two of them entangled together, exchanging blows.

The smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.

The Empress knew how much the Emperor valued Lady Tongjia, and she didn't even show her dissatisfaction with Longkodo.

If news of the fight between the eldest prince and Longkodo were to reach the emperor's ears, he might very well think that the emperor had instigated it.

The Empress did not want to be misunderstood.

She immediately ordered the guards beside the First Prince and Longkodo, "Quickly separate the two young masters!"

"If anything happens to them, none of you will escape."

The Queen's order gave the bewildered guards a goal.

They rushed forward and separated the eldest prince and Longkodo.

The eldest prince was in high spirits.

Even though he was held in the arms of the guards, he kept moving, trying to rush towards Longkodo.

Longkodo, on the other hand, was much more rational.

This is the Empress's Kunning Palace, not the residence of Lady Tongjia, nor the Chengqian Palace of the Noble Consort.

If things escalate, it might even implicate the Imperial Concubine.

Longkodo calmed down and realized just how outrageous his behavior had been.

He quickly looked at Consort Tong and began to ask for help.

Consort Tong glanced at Longkodo, her expression somewhat helpless, but she still spoke up, "Empress, I brought Longkodo to Kunning Palace. Now that this has happened, it's all my fault for not disciplining him properly..."

Before Consort Tong could finish her words of feigned retreat, Mu Yue couldn't hold back any longer.

She rushed to the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, this is not Longkodo's fault."

"It's all Yue'er's fault!"

Since Longkodo was trying to help him, he couldn't let him suffer unjustly.

The Empress and Consort Tong were both somewhat surprised.

Before they could even ask, Mu Yue hugged the Empress's leg, lowered her head, and whispered nervously, "Brother Bao Cheng and Brother Bao Qing just had a fight. Yue'er was worried that if Father Emperor found out they were fighting, they would be punished, so she asked Brother Longkodo for help!"

"I don't know why Brother Baoqing suddenly wants to fight Brother Longkodo."

Consort Tong knew Longkodo's temperament.

She only felt that Longkodo had once again lost his temper and offended the eldest prince.

Hearing Mu Yue say that, she smiled helplessly.

She bent down, reached out and touched Mu Yue's head, and said gently, "Yue'er meant well, how could she be wrong?"

"Longkodo promised to help you, but in the end he only made you worry. He couldn't solve Yue'er's problem at all, and even caused her more trouble. Isn't that his fault?"

Moreover, the eldest prince is the emperor's child, so even if he provoked the emperor first, Longkodo shouldn't have made a move.

After all, a prince can't be wrong.

This is the royal palace; some things don't need the truth.

"Sister Tong, you are mistaken!"

The Queen did not think that Longkodo was at fault.

The eldest prince was impulsive and straightforward, and no one knew why he would take the initiative to invite Longkodo to a duel.

But it's clear that the eldest prince started it all.

Even if there is a mistake, the mistake lies with the eldest prince.

However, since this matter occurred in Kunning Palace, the Emperor would certainly be displeased if it was not handled properly.

The Empress felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.

She glanced at Consort Tong and Longkodo and said, "I have already made a decision on this matter."

"It's getting late, Sister Tong, why don't you see Longkodo out of the palace first?"

Once they leave, I'll be able to handle the conflicts between the children.

After Longkodo left, the Queen instructed her servants to take the children into the house.

The eldest prince was not in a good mood.

He felt that if he and Longkodo had a little more time, he would be able to completely defeat Longkodo.

After all, he had the upper hand just now.

Entering the main hall of Kunning Palace, he said somewhat sullenly, "What are you doing trying to stop me? I'm about to win!"

Hearing the eldest prince's words, the empress's expression grew increasingly helpless.

They even felt a bit more sympathy for Consort Hui.

With such a straightforward son, Consort Hui will probably have a lot to do in the future.

But this has nothing to do with her.

If today's events hadn't happened in Kunning Palace, the Empress wouldn't have interfered.

"Why did Baoqing suddenly attack Longkodo? Did Longkodo say something he shouldn't have?"

If Longkodo were as audacious as he was, daring to anger the prince even in Kunning Palace, she would surely tell the Emperor everything.

The Emperor will then have to consider it carefully, and Longkodo will no longer have the opportunity to contact Yue'er!

The eldest prince couldn't understand the meaning behind the empress's words.

He shook his head and said, "The Crown Prince can't stand Longkodo's constant pestering of Sister Yue'er, so I wanted to see what's so good about Longkodo!"

The Empress was stunned when she heard what the eldest prince said.

She hadn't expected that the Crown Prince was involved here.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the Crown Prince standing beside Mu Yue.

"Your Highness, what exactly happened?"

Fearing that the Crown Prince might be implicated in this matter, the Empress's tone became anxious and somewhat serious.

When the eldest prince spoke, the crown prince had a bad feeling.

Hearing his name uttered by the eldest prince, he wasn't surprised at all; instead, he felt a sense of relief.
