Chapter 308 I Won’t Hand Over Xiao Zhuzi Anyway
Everyone looked at Huo Linger.
Although Huo Linger was only five years old, she was a princess after all. She had been educated in royal etiquette and laws since childhood, and she knew in her heart that killing the prince was the most serious crime among all serious crimes.
If You Zhu really killed the prince, let alone him, Huo Linger might not be able to escape the death penalty, but would be punished alive.
"That's perfect." Huo Linger smiled nonchalantly. If that day really came, "The worst that could happen is that we'll all die together!"
There was a hint of surprise in You Zhu's eyes.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Bai Kou felt that these children were really well-behaved when they were well-behaved, but when they were naughty, not a word they said was what she wanted to hear.
"What's the point of living or dying? If that happens, she and Bai Zhi will lead you to escape."
Bai Kou gave a bitter laugh and looked at You Zhu with a pleading look on his face, "My little ancestor, I really can't stand being scared. Tell me quickly, you didn't do anything to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, did you?"
"Don't worry." Thinking of Huo Lie's expression just now, You Zhu couldn't help but chuckle, "It was just that I scared him to the point of peeing his pants."
“…” For a moment, Bai Kou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Bai Zhi couldn't help but start to lecture You Zhu again, "Little Zhuzi, could you please stop causing trouble for the princess? You are such a troublemaker."
However, Xiaotuanzi and Huo Linger looked at each other and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed.
"I told you, I don't want a brother like that." Huo Linger's face was full of disgust. When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at You Zhu.
If she could choose, she would hope that her brother would be a little man like Xiao Zhuzi.
Seeing that You Zhu didn't respond, she added proudly, "My aunt has been a chivalrous woman since she was a child, and she's unbeatable all over the world, so my cousin must be super cool too."
She looked at You Zhu proudly and said, "Just wait until I find my cousin, and then you two can have a duel. But we have a deal: if you lose, you are not allowed to cry."
You Zhu still didn't react.
Little Dumpling was standing next to her, her big dark eyes rolling back and forth. She was increasingly looking forward to Huo Linger's expression when she knew that her cousin was You Zhu.
Princess sister should be very happy, right?
"Okay, Princess, think about it. After Huo Lie makes his complaint, if His Majesty comes to ask for someone, how should we respond?" Bai Kou reminded carefully.
Huo Ling'er looked nonchalant, "There's nothing to say. When I asked him to discipline Huo Lie, he didn't care. Now his son has suffered, he deserves it. Anyway, I won't give Xiao Zhuzi to him."
Bai Zhi and Bai Kou looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

On the other side, Huo Lie and several guards finally crawled back to the Fire God Temple.
As soon as he entered the Fire God Temple, Huo Lie became tough, "Wait, this little Zhuzi, I will let my father kill him!"
"Yes, Your Highness, this little Zhuzi has gone too far. He doesn't take Your Highness seriously." Several guards also hated You Zhu to the core.
"You still have the nerve to say that?" Huo Lie couldn't help but yell at them, "If you weren't useless and couldn't even handle a child, would we be in such a mess?"
"Your Highness, you saw it too. That..." Thinking back to what just happened, several guards were still terrified. "That's no ordinary child."
"Get out!" Huo Lie yelled and told the guards to get out.
He first changed into clean clothes before quickly going to look for Huo Yan.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me!" Upon seeing Huo Yan, he immediately walked forward crying and knelt beside Huo Yan's legs.
Huo Yan frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
"Father, that little Zhuzi killed one of my guards and injured four or five others. This little beast is too lawless," Huo Lie cried bitterly. "Father, you must chop off his head."
Huo Yan became increasingly impatient, "Are you going to cause trouble for him?"
"I..." Huo Lie's eyes dodged for a moment before he lied and cried, "Father, I am innocent. I saw him and that guy sneaking around near the Fire God Temple, so I approached him and asked a few questions. I didn't expect that little beast to act like a mad dog and kill people right away."
He was truly frightened. "Father, this little beast is too dangerous. Go to Linlangxuan quickly, capture him, and behead him."
Huo Yan knew his son's character very well, so he immediately checked nervously, "Are you okay?"
Huo Lie shook his head. "I am the crown prince, the emperor's son. He dare not harm me."
"Did I ever tell you not to mess with him?" Huo Yan immediately flew into a rage upon hearing his son was fine. "You should be thankful you made it back alive."
"Father..." Huo Lie was a little surprised by Huo Yan's reaction.
"Let me tell you, don't underestimate him, he's just a kid. He's actually been on the battlefield and killed people before." Huo Yan was getting more and more scared the more he thought about it, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. "Will you dare to provoke him again in the future?"
"But father, this is the Northern Barbarian Palace, our territory," Huo Lie was very puzzled. "He was so arrogant, he dared to kill our people in the palace. Are we going to let it go like this?"
"Forget it?" Huo Yan sneered, "Of course I can't just let it go like this. This head of his was destined not to be his from the moment he entered the palace."
After he finished speaking, he glared at Huo Lie and said coldly, "I warn you again, stay away from him, otherwise, this kind of person is a lunatic. Next time, even if he doesn't want your life, he might cut off your hands, feet, nose, or ears..."
Huo Lie immediately remembered You Zhu's warning at that time. He would never forget that real fear.
Before Huo Yan could finish, he quickly agreed, "No, I won't provoke him again."
Huo Yan frowned, seeing that the child was indeed very frightened.
Obviously, Xiao Zhuzi and Li Suining need to be dealt with quickly.
Huo Yan decided to find an opportunity to tell Huo Linger the truth as soon as possible.
Linlangxuan, Huo Linger and others waited until dark, but Huo Yan and Huo Lie did not come to cause trouble.
"I'll tell you what, I, the Emperor's uncle, still have some self-awareness," Huo Ling'er was in a good mood. It was obvious that she was a little worried during the day. "Hmph, tonight I'll reward Xiao Zhuzi with two big chicken legs."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After nightfall, You Zhu carefully left Linlangxuan.
He followed the route marked during the day and quickly found the abandoned palace. Then he moved the vase next to him and the door on the wall appeared instantly.
You Zhu stood at the door and felt a gust of wind blowing out from inside. For some reason, he felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, he slipped into the narrow secret passage.
The secret passage was quite spacious, with a few candles scattered on the wall, enough for him to see the road ahead clearly.
Soon, he reached the end of the secret passage. Further ahead was a secret room with walls on three sides.
In the middle of the secret room, there was a man chained.
