Rong Heqing quickly looked at him and saw that his eyes were a little red and his palms were a little swollen. His expression suddenly turned cold, "What's going on?"

Her sharp eyes fell on the Fourteenth Prince's face, "You did it?"

The Fourteenth Prince was startled by her look and could not help but take two steps back. After he stood still, he said angrily, "So what?"

Although he was shouting fiercely, his body was already tilted to the side, as if he was ready to run away at any time.

The color is sharp and the heart is full.

Rong Heqing retracted his gaze and looked down at Rong Qiao, "Speak."

Rong Qiao's heart trembled, and he said honestly: "The Fourteenth Prince asked me to imitate his notes to help him with his homework, and the teacher found out. The teacher scolded us and spanked me twenty times. He also punished the Fourteenth Prince to stand and listen to the whole class, and asked us to go back and copy the book ten times."

After all, the prince is the dragon's son, so the teacher cannot hit him and can only make him stand in the corner as punishment.

But he beat Rong Qiao without mercy, hitting him with twenty palms without any mercy, leaving his palms red and swollen, which was shocking to see.

Rong Heqing frowned, "How many times?"

"The first time." Rong Qiao said in a low voice.

"I asked you how many times has His Highness the Fourteenth bullied you?"

Rong Qiao was startled, and subconsciously looked at the Fourteenth Prince, who immediately widened his eyes, "Princess Changle, what's wrong with me teaching my study partner a lesson? Do you want to teach me a lesson on his behalf?"

Rong Heqing ignored him and just stared at Rong Qiao.

Rong Qiao was a little nervous. He pulled Rong Heqing's sleeve and whispered, "How about we forget it?"

Rong Heqing brushed his hand away and said loudly under his dim gaze: "It doesn't count."

Rong Qiao was shocked, but saw Rong Heqing turned around and looked at everyone present.

"Today really opened my eyes. A group of royal children took advantage of their power to bully others and spoke ill of me. If I didn't know this was the palace, I would have thought I had walked into a market by mistake. Otherwise, how could I have heard such vulgar words?"

After all, they were just a group of kids, their height and aura were far inferior to Rong and Qing. Plus, they were in the wrong in the first place, so they were speechless and embarrassed for a while.

The Fourteenth Prince was angry, ashamed, and annoyed, his face flushed red, and he pointed at Rong Heqing: "You...you are so outrageous!"

"Who is so presumptuous?"

Rong Heqing took Rong Qiao's wrist and led him forward a step, face to face with the Fourteenth Prince. The Fourteenth Prince had to look up at her.

"What are you going to do?" The Fourteenth Prince retreated. The palace servants in the distance saw this and wanted to stop him. Bai He, who was standing behind him, suddenly said, "It's common for children to quarrel. Please don't get involved."

Everyone then noticed her. The clan members didn't know her identity, but seeing her palace dress, they knew she was not an ordinary palace maid. They didn't dare to move for a while. A palace servant recognized her and said, "Sister Bai He is right. Then don't tell the Concubine Xian about this, okay?"

Bai He smiled without saying anything, just looking at Rong Heqing.

Only now did the Fourteenth Prince realize that he might really be in trouble. There was some panic in his eyes, but he still forced himself not to back down, staring at Rong Heqing.

Rong Heqing's expression was indifferent, and his voice was neither loud nor soft, but just enough for everyone to hear.

"Your Highness the Fourteenth Prince is the legitimate son of the Empress, and the oldest among you all. You should be a role model, but not only did you fail to do so, you also took the lead in bullying Rong Qiao and asked her to copy your homework for you. This is a mistake."

"No matter how bad Rong Qiao is, he is the prince's tutor appointed by His Majesty. Not only did you exclude him, you also insulted his background and birth mother. What? Are you dissatisfied with His Majesty's decision? This is the second mistake of insubordination."

"And you—" Rong Heqing looked at the Fourteenth Prince coldly, "You used me as a threat to force Rong Qiao to kneel down, and abused your power. This is the third mistake."

"Bai He and I saw everything clearly, you can't shirk responsibility." Rong Heqing said, pulling Rong Qiao up and said, "Let's go and ask the Queen to judge the matter."

"do not--"

"I, I, I was wrong! Princess, don't go!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please say something!"

In fact, they laughed at Rong Qiao unscrupulously because they saw that Rong Qiao was holding back and didn't dare to get angry at first. They didn't expect Rong Heqing to stand up for him. How could they dare to do this if they had known? Even if they were descendants of the royal family, they were not as good as ministers without real power. Those with real power were feared by the emperor and worried about where to get angry. Aren't they giving it away for free?

If this matter really gets to the Queen, Rong Qiao and Rong Heqing will be fine, but they will definitely be scolded and may even be beaten when they go home. They will regret it so much just thinking about it.

The fourteenth prince blushed, feeling uncomfortable being stared at. He quickly ran to Rong Heqing to stop her, gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want?"

Rong Heqing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Rong Qiao, who seemed to be thinking about something.

"Everyone who just insulted my brother, including you, should apologize to him and promise not to bully him again in the future."

The Fourteenth Prince's eyes widened. "I apologize to him? Are you crazy?"

"You can try it." Rong Heqing smiled slightly, and his originally very friendly face showed a bit of sharp aggressiveness.

After saying that, she walked around him and was about to leave.

The fourteenth prince was anxious and shouted, "I'm sorry!"

Rong Heqing paused and turned to look at him. The Fourteenth Prince's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he said angrily, "Is that all right?"

Rong Heqing didn't say anything, but glanced back. The group of teenagers immediately came forward and apologized one by one.

Rong Qiao looked at them blankly.

Rong Heqing patted the back of his head, "What are you standing there for? Are you satisfied?"

Rong Qiao nodded, "Yeah."

After he finished speaking, he realized what had happened, and his heart and nose felt a little sour.

"We have apologized, you can't complain again!" said the Fourteenth Prince fiercely.

Rong Heqing walked back with a smile, "That's it for now. If you do it again next time, I will sue you for everything."

She pulled Rong Qiao's arm and said, "Come on, brother, let's go home."

She deliberately emphasized the word "brother" and walked past the group of teenagers. The teenagers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.

Rong Qiao felt so happy that he couldn't help but look up at Rong Heqing.

They walked forward towards the sunshine, leaving the bad people and things behind.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he suddenly felt that Rong Heqing was actually quite tall.

He had to look up to see her face.

Rong Heqing noticed his gaze but didn't say anything. When they were alone, she said to Bai He, "Thank you for your hard work today, Sister Bai He. We are leaving the palace now. Please go back and tell the queen that I will visit her another day so that she can rest her eyes."

Bai He nodded in agreement.

Rong Heqing took Rong Qiao out of the palace. When they got on the carriage, Rong Qiao realized that this was not the way back to the palace, and couldn't help asking, "Where are we going?"

"Find someone to sell this useless thing of yours."

Rong Heqing leaned lazily on the cushion and drank tea, taking the time to say something perfunctorily to him.

Rong Qiao: “…”

It turned out to be an illusion before. Rong Heqing is still as annoying as before.
