Li Binghao was now emboldened by his fierce demeanor, while his two henchmen were somewhat timid. Li Bingchen, after all, was a prince; no matter how neglected he was, he was still a prince.
Lee Byung-ho is the Queen's biological son, so naturally he has nothing to fear, but they are not.
Although the new policy has been implemented and the boundaries between ruler and subject are not as clear as before, the adults in the family still repeatedly reminded them not to go too far while coaxing Li Binghao, so as not to cause too serious consequences.
Minor squabbles, even something as small as helping Li Binghao to cut a few small wounds on Li Bingchen's body or knock out two front teeth, are all minor matters.
As long as it's not a broken arm or leg, it's not a big problem.
But we must not make a big fuss and cause trouble for the family, otherwise they will be punished when they go back!
Even if you can reattach a broken arm or leg, the consequences are still very serious. But if Li Binghao really gouged out Li Bingchen's eyeballs, they can't be put back in. The consequences would definitely be more serious than if they had broken an arm or leg. Wouldn't they be hung up and beaten when they got back?
The two henchmen were a bit cowardly and did not rush to grab Li Bingchen as usual upon hearing Li Binghao's order.
Seeing that his lackeys did not immediately carry out his orders, Li Binghao became displeased and roared at his two followers, "Are you two deaf? This prince ordered you to seize this dog Li Bingchen for me!"
The two men looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the lackeys mustered up his courage and said, "Fourth Prince, didn't you already decide that you would make Li Bingchen eat shit? Or else, you should just make him eat shit."
“That’s right, Fourth Prince!” Another follower nodded quickly and said, “Why don’t we make Li Bingchen kowtow to you, crawl between your legs, and be your horse? He’ll become your horse, let’s see how arrogant he can be then.”
Um……
Li Binghao touched his chin, somewhat tempted.
Seeing this, another follower quickly pressed on, saying, "Fourth Prince, think about it. A lot of people saw us coming. If we really gouge out Li Bingchen's eyes, even if we don't say anything, no one will believe Li Bingchen. But others will still know that we did it."
“We’re not afraid of anything else, after all, you are the Queen’s own son. I’m just worried that the eldest prince and the others will use this as leverage to suppress you. Wouldn’t you be at a disadvantage then?”
“You are Her Majesty the Queen’s own son, the prince with the most right to inherit the throne in our country. It’s not worth being overshadowed by the eldest prince and the others for the sake of Li Bingchen.”
Although he was about the same age as Li Bingchen, and not as clever or precocious, he was still a child who grew up in the palace and had a queen to teach him. Therefore, Li Binghao was very familiar with power struggles.
In fact, he looked down on all the other princes in the palace. Because their mothers were either dead or divorced by their king father, he felt that his three older brothers and one younger brother were not worthy of being called princes like him.
The reason they targeted Li Bingchen was simply because the other princes were older and had their own followers; even with his entourage, he couldn't defeat them...
It's not that he only dislikes Li Bingchen.
In fact, compared to Li Bingchen, he disliked the eldest and second princes even more, because with the queen's constant nagging, he knew that his two half-brothers posed a greater threat to him.
So now, he's starting to listen to his lackey's advice.
