Chapter 686: Calling the shots

When Si Linglong walked quickly into the hall, she only saw palace maids and guards standing quietly in the hall, and in the middle was Madam Yu Enbo, who was crying, and a slightly tall child.

Si Linglong glanced over and didn't see Xue Sha. She thought she was just worrying too much and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when Mrs. Yu Enbo noticed her and released the child in her arms.

When she saw the obvious marks on the boy's neck and the visibly worn clothes, Si Linglong was startled again.

There is only one thought in my mind.

If it was Xue Sha who beat her, she had even thought of how to apologize.

Si Linglong was lost in thought as she stared at the young man, whose face was covered in tears and whose eyes were red and swollen. On the other side, Madam Yu Enbo had already pulled the child to kneel down in front of her.

"My Queen, please help my nephew! The person who did this is so cruel!"

Only then did Si Linglong realize that the child who was beaten was not from the Yu Enbo family, but the child of Yu Enbo's wife's brother. He must have been the favorite of the family, so the wife deliberately brought him into the palace to see the world.

But even if he was not a child of the Earl's family, it was not good for such a thing to happen in the palace.

After calming down a bit, Si Linglong just asked, "Do you know who did it?"

[Don’t let it be a snow kill. Don’t let it be a snow kill.]

Si Linglong was muttering to herself when she saw He Changsun on the ground shouting in anger, "It's He Yuanzun! That monster He Yuanzun, he wants to kill me, wuwuwu!"

Si Linglong didn't expect to hear such an impossible name.

She knew someone named Yuan Zun, but didn't know someone named He Yuan Zun. However, since he was ignorantly called a monster, she probably knew who the child was talking about.

only……

Master Yuanzun, his last name is not Yuan???

After Si Linglong had finally digested the fact that Master Yuanzun had the surname He and his family, she began to express shock at another key point.

If the child is not lying, that means Yuan Zun not only attacked people, but also attacked a child? ?

Thinking of Yuan Zun's sage-like demeanor in front of them, Si Linglong really couldn't imagine him fighting with anyone.

Afterwards, he couldn't help but take a closer look at this somewhat rich and fat boy, wondering how naughty this kid had to be to provoke Yuan Zun to take action himself?

That's right, just based on the tone in which Chong He Changsun called Yuan Zun a monster, Si Linglong had already defined him as a naughty child in her heart.

It's not just because Yuan Zun is her friend, she trusts Yuan Zun's temper and is more willing to protect him.

At the same time, since Yuan Zun is a member of the He family, this child is also a child of the He family. Not to mention Yuan Zun's current identity as an imperial teacher, just from the age point of view, Yuan Zun can be considered an elder.

A child who calls his elders by their given names and calls them monsters sounds like he has never been properly taught.

Therefore, even though she didn't know the whole story clearly, the balance in Si Linglong's heart had already subconsciously tilted towards Yuan Zun.

Without responding directly to He Changsun's shouting, Si Linglong calmly let the palace maid help her sit down on the main seat. Then she asked a question, but it was to the guards beside her,

"What's going on?"

After the guards sent the people back, they were still waiting here, which meant they knew the inside story. Helian Yue gave Baohua Palace to Yuan Zun, so naturally there were guards guarding there.

The guards were waiting for a reply. When they heard the voice, they came out and told him everything that had happened in Baohua Palace.

These included the fact that He Changsun broke into the Baohua Palace without permission and insulted the Imperial Master, and later tried to attack the Imperial Master with a stone, but was knocked away by Xue Sha. He was so angry that he wanted to beat the child, but was captured by the Imperial Master instead.

Mrs. Yu Enbo's face changed again and again as she listened, and Si Linglong was even more stunned.

But she understood one thing.

[There is indeed a snow-killing incident here. 】

However, she only knocked He Changsun, who was twice her size, flying away, but Yuan Zun actually grabbed him by the neck and threw him out.

Comparing the degree of injury and shock, we can only say that Yuanzun is the principal offender and Xuesha is the accomplice.

But that's only in terms of the extent of the injuries.

When it comes to right and wrong, Si Linglong only wants to say one thing.

He who teases first is a jerk.

Xue Sha is not the type of person who attacks others easily.

Yuan Zun would not act easily.

From this, it can be seen that Si Linglong's first impression of He Changsun was correct.

If he hadn't run up to Yuan Zun and tried to launch a sneak attack, how could he have been injured later?

You deserve it.

"Your Majesty! My nephew is still young and ignorant. Even if he was a little naughty, how could He Yuanzun be so cruel?!"

Although Mrs. Yu Enbo felt a little guilty after hearing what happened, her love for her nephew prevailed.

It was wrong for He Yuanzun, as an adult, to hit a child.

What could be wrong with a child?

Si Linglong listened to these somewhat similar arguments, but didn't think there was anything wrong with them.

If it were her own child, she would also protect him.

But the one in front of her is not her cub.

Without answering Madam Yu Enbo's question, Si Linglong glanced at He Changsun lying on the ground. Her tone was not gentle, but not harsh either. She just asked him,

"Since it was seen by the Imperial Guards, I will not ask you about the facts. What I want to know is, since you came here for a banquet today, why did you go to the Baohua Palace alone?"

Si Linglong's tone was calm, but she got straight to the point, "Since you were going there for the Imperial Master, then who told you where the Imperial Master is now?"

The moment the words came out, Mrs. Yu Enbo's face changed drastically.

Si Linglong's words were almost like asking directly, "Who instigated you, a child, to seek misfortune in the Imperial Master?"
