clean, and steamed it in a pot of water for a while. When the meat was soft enough to cut, she took it out.Cut the meat into slices, and the tender parts of bamboo shoots should also be cut thinly.The...Dong'er was furious on the spot. Xiaoyue hadn't reacted yet when he pulled out a miniature crossbow specially made for him by Fang Jinshu from his sleeve. Don't underestimate this crossbow, though it's small enough to be hidden in the sleeve, it's still quite powerful.

After improvements, its power is no less than a large crossbow.

Dong'er shot only one arrow, and the right wheel of the carriage instantly shattered into five pieces. The carriage then lost its balance and tipped over onto its frame.

Countless gasps echoed around them.

This sudden change startled the horse, and the carriage was pulled around haphazardly by the frightened animal. The carriage swayed so violently that anyone inside could only imagine how uncomfortable it was.

This way, Dong'er didn't feel relieved at all.

Don't recognize the emblem on this carriage, Dong'er. People in the capital city would know it though.

The commotion immediately attracted many onlookers, and soon someone noticed the mark.

"This, this is the carriage of Jing Wangfu!"

"Could the person sitting inside be King Jing"

"These two kids are in for a bad time. Prince Jing is the only brother of the current emperor, though he doesn't have much power, he has a very good relationship with the emperor."

Even Yuan, the Prime Minister, had to give him three points of respect. It was also heard that King Jing had a very bad temper, and anyone who offended him usually met a terrible end.

"These two children are so unlucky. No matter who their families are, they're afraid they won't escape this disaster today."

Hearing this, the surrounding people all showed expressions of pity and sorrow.

These two kids are so adorable, they instantly bring joy.

I never expected to offend King Jing, that living king of hell.

Xiao Yue also heard the man's words, and upon learning that this carriage belonged to the Jing Wangfu, a look of panic flashed across her face.

It's one thing to offend someone, but to offend royalty is a whole other matter. Even the most capable wife wouldn't be able to smooth things over in that situation.

Xiaoyue clenched her lower lip, making a quick decision and pulling Dong'er behind her.

The carriage was overloaded, and the people inside finally came out.

Immediately, someone recognized Prince Jing.

"Yes, it's the King Jing himself."

The common people were terrified and kowtowed in fear.

Commoners had to kneel when they saw royalty and only stood up once they were given permission.

Fu Shangyuan glared at the wrecked carriage. His carriage was meticulously crafted by the imperial artisans, its quality far surpassing any civilian carriage.

Rather than blame the child, he was more curious about what weapon he had just used to have such power.

Xiaoyue learned that the man standing before her was the current prince, and her heart turned cold with fear.

She knelt on the ground with a thud, desperately kowtowing to King Jing.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, have mercy."

“I know damaging the prince’s carriage is a grave crime, and I am willing to take full responsibility. Please do with me as you see fit.”

"Your Majesty, please consider the young age of my two young masters and spare them from your wrath."

"Please be merciful, Lord! Please be merciful!"

Dong’er stared in astonishment. The carriage had clearly been destroyed by his crossbow, yet Xiao Yueyi was taking the blame and offering to die in his place.

How could he let this happen A man should be responsible for his own actions.

Dong'er hurriedly tried to rush out, Xiaoyue gave the two guards a wink, asking them to hold Dong'er back.

"Little Aunt Yue! Stand up, we haven't done anything wrong. They were the ones who bumped into people first!"

"My stepmother said, 'A prince who breaks the law is equal to an ordinary citizen. Shouldn't he be punished just like everyone else Does his royal status allow him to run amok on the streets and commit violence'"

"If I hadn't pulled Yuánbǎo away in time, he would have been crushed by them!"

Xiao Yue crawled on the ground, still kowtowing to King Jing incessantly, begging for mercy. As a lowly servant, she didn't know what else she could do to protect her two young masters.

Even in death, she couldn't betray the mistress's entrustment and let the young masters be in danger.

"Please, let my young master go."

King Jing was only accompanied by one guard. The guard held Xiaoyue aside. Dong'er, upon seeing this, her eyes turned red with urgency. She and Yuanbao desperately struggled against their own guards' control to save Xiaoyue.

"You, a slave, would also use a crossbow"

King Jing cast a cold glance at Xiaoyue. His eyes were colder than the ice abyss in winter.

Little Moon's pleas were immediately frozen in her throat.

"Mocking this King is also a capital offense."

Fu Shangyuan walked in front of Dong'er. The two guards saw that something was wrong and picked up the two young masters to run away.

Then, with a snap of his fingers, the Jing dynasty Emperor had those people apprehended. The commoners didn't know where these strangers had come from as they suddenly appeared and seized the four servants who were trying to flee.

"Take them back to the palace."

When Dong'er struggled, the sleeve crossbow fell from her body. Fu Shangyuan picked it up, twirling it in his hand while staring at Dong'er's somewhat familiar face. A strange feeling flashed across his heart. eyesight was keen and he could see everything these people were doing clearly, he had no idea what use those stones they had concealed had.Only after these people leave can I go down and take a look....
