The Crown Prince, kneeling on the ground, hurriedly explained to Kaihuang.
"Father Emperor, listen to me, today's events were really not my fault. I merely took Cui Wenjun out for drinks, and then..."

Kaihuang swung his lance, striking the Crown Prince's back with it.
"You begged me to spare the people of the Cui Family, and I agreed. But what happened then? So ostentatious? Are you afraid that the entire Capital doesn't know of your overwhelming authority as the Crown Prince, that you can easily pull out whoever the Town Martial Office captures?"
At that moment, the Crown Prince nearly cried.
"Father Emperor, we really didn't. At that time... at that time I was just..."
The Crown Prince, recalling everything that had happened at the entrance of the Town Martial Office, realized that the deeds performed by the Martial Artists there were superficially righteous, but in reality, they were setting him up.
