Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately turned around and unleashed a furious barrage of attacks on Li Tai.
Li Shimin was reluctant to punish Li Jue in the first place, but now that Li Tai had jumped out to be his punching bag, how could he let him go?
"I finally understand! It was you who instigated this child to talk back to me!"
"Father, I didn't! Don't slander me!"
"Li Jue used to be such a well-behaved child, but you, you unfilial son, have corrupted him!"
"Someone, bring me my riding whip. I'm going to teach this rebellious son a lesson today!"
Seeing that Li Tai was about to be in trouble, Li Jue quickly shouted to Li Er.
"Li Er, if you've got the guts, come at me! Don't bully my fourth uncle!"

Before Li Shimin could even lash out, Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde dragged Li Jue away.
Although Li Jue escaped unscathed, Li Tai fared much worse, being whipped mercilessly by Li Shimin in no time.

"Apologize?"
"I'm innocent, why should I apologize to him!"
"He clearly looks down on everyone; I'm just correcting his mistake!"
Li Jing felt a headache coming on as he listened to Li Jue's roar. He glanced at Yuchi Jingde beside him and then made a gesture toward Li Jue's neck.
Upon seeing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately became unhappy, thinking to himself, why should he have to do such a bad thing?
"hurry up!"
"You come here!"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to control my strength and might hurt the child. It's best if you do it..."
"you……"
Yuchi Jingde complained a few times, then slapped Li Jue on the neck. The world fell silent, with only the crisp "slap" sounds from Jiwu Hall and the wails of a poor prince.
