Bab 1064: Chapter 1064: Can't Take the Slightest Grievance_1

Da'an Palace.

Yang Wenxiao sat in the principal seat, slowly savoring his tea as he gazed at Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang standing before him, "The two of you have quite the nerve. After all, Bai Zhi is a member of the royal family."

Being a member of the royal family, to be slapped in front of so many people at the city gates—for the most part, soldiers and guards—was a loss of face nonetheless.

Had Bai Zhi not uttered those idiotic words, then he would have had to mete out a symbolic punishment to Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai.

Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it was I who was impulsive. I should not have laid hands on the princess. When I saw the princess suddenly strike Xiaomai, my mind went blank and I couldn't control my body's reaction."

"I can't stand to see Xiaomai get hurt or bullied. If you must punish someone, please punish me alone. Don't blame Xiaomai."
