Xiao Ruiyuan lowered his eyes, masking the coldness within them, and after saluting the several Princes, he finally addressed Prince Qi, "It is this official's dereliction of duty. I will take the Thirteenth Prince back to the temporary palace and personally plead guilty to The Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Prince Qi angrily retorted, "Are you implying that this Prince has no right to punish you, to seek justice for Seventh Imperial Brother?"
Xiao Ruiyuan remained silent, obviously acquiescing to Prince Qi's accusation.
"You—Xiao Ruiyuan, don't think that this Prince truly doesn't dare to punish you!" Prince Qi angrily pointed at Xiao Ruiyuan, the rage in his heart so intense he wished he could use his bow and arrow to pierce a hole through this infuriating man right there and then.
Xiao Ruiyuan didn't even blink, completely ignoring Prince Qi's threat.
