Hearing that the trial was about to begin, Sanbao and a few other children sneaked out of the village to secretly check out the proceedings and cheer on the fairy sister.
Children may not understand the meaning of many words, but they still understand the meaning of immediate execution.
Sanbao shouted from outside the door, "That's not how it is! You can't kill Fairy Sister!"
"Grandpa Hu, Grandma Hu, you've always taught us not to lie. How could you lie? This eldest prince is the bad guy. He never gave us any food. It was the fairy sister and big brother who gave us the food."
The three children squeezed through the crowd trying to get in, but the guards at the door, seeing that they were all children, did not dare to be rough with them.
Sanbao was clever. He and the other children worked together, using a feint to get through a small gap in the guards' defenses, and Sanbao rushed into the crowd.
Sanbao spread his arms wide, blocking An Yuan'er's way, and shouted, "My fairy sister is innocent! You can't kill an innocent person!"
Yi Chenxuan frowned. Where did this brat come from, daring to ruin his plans?
He grabbed Sanbao and shoved him, saying, "Get lost! This isn't a place for kids to play house."
He berated the guards at the door: "What are you all good for? You can't even stop a child. I think you don't want to work here anymore. Go and get fifty lashes later."
The guard knelt down and pleaded, "This servant is useless, Your Highness, please calm your anger!"
Sanbao was shoved hard to the ground by Yi Chenxuan, and his knees bled. But Sanbao didn't cry out in pain. He immediately got up and stood in front of An Yuan'er, saying, "You're a bad person, a bad person. I want to protect Fairy Sister."
When Yi Chenxuan gets excited, he easily reveals his true nature. His fierce and menacing appearance aroused the suspicions of the onlookers.
"The eldest prince is even bullying children; this is really going too far."
"Besides, he was so arrogant and haughty. The guard didn't mean it. Fifty strokes of the cane is too harsh."
"......"
Grand Tutor An surveyed the situation and then asked the Emperor behind the screen, "Your Majesty, the situation seems to have changed. We need to investigate carefully. Please give this old minister some time to do so."
Emperor Tiansheng saw that the people had some complaints, and since the trial was being held publicly, he naturally wanted to be fair, so he granted Grand Tutor An's request.
At this moment, the one who couldn't accept it the most was Yi Chenxuan. A little kid had actually shaken the plans he had made.
Victory was already within his grasp, how could he possibly lose?
"Father, Your Excellencies, can you really take a child's nonsense seriously?"
"Children can't distinguish right from wrong. They only like those who give them candy. They don't know who the real bad guys and good guys are."
An Yuan'er then said definitively, "Yi Chenxuan, you are very wrong. Adults know about interests and pursue wealth, so they can be blinded by external things. They can go against their conscience, lie, and slander. But children don't. They see the world with the purest eyes. What they see is what they say."
"Sanbao is only five years old, do you think he would lie?"
Sanbao's body only reached a little above An Yuan'er's knees, but his small body insisted on blocking An Yuan'er's way. He said innocently, "Sanbao's parents in heaven taught Sanbao that Sanbao never lies. Liars are liars, and liars will have their tongues cut off."
