The Ninth Prince: Was I the one who didn't say anything? I told you who I was ages ago. You were the one who refused to believe me.
Besides, whenever I said I was the Ninth Prince, you beat me within an inch of my life!
Xie Jinglou, you absolutely did this on purpose!
Xie Jinglou, I'll remember this grudge!
Only after the Ninth Prince had been sent away did Xie Xingyu come out of the room. She said worriedly:
"Brother, we beat up the Ninth Prince. With his temper, he's bound to retaliate.
Besides, we beat him so badly. Won't His Majesty blame us?"
Xie Jinglou patted his sister on the shoulder and said:
"It'll be fine. I have a plan, so don't worry!"
"Brother, will it really be all right?"
Xie Jinglou patted Xie Xingyu's hand and said:
"It'll be fine."
That day, Xie Jinglou had already received his father's reply.
His father must have been furious the moment he received the letter Xie Jinglou had written. Given his temper, he would surely have written to both him and the emperor at once.
Presumably, the emperor had already received his father's letter as well.
Knowing his father, Xie Jinglou could already guess what he had written to the emperor!
That was what gave him and Xingxing the confidence to stand their ground!
Over the past few days, the emperor had kept people watching the Ninth Prince, fearing that the bastard would do something outrageous again.
The emperor also knew that the Ninth Prince had been going to the General's Residence every day, only to be turned away at the door.
He felt that this son of his had gone too far before. It would do him good to learn a little lesson from the General's Residence,
