Xiang Hong and the others also echoed, Teacher Tang indeed only hit him with the ruler. At that time, when the Fifth Prince was drawing the bow, he didnt stabilize the lower part of his body and couldnt draw the bow properly. Thats why Teacher Tang corrected him.

Tong Xia looked down on these women who only knew how to fight for favor, so her tone was cold. The Fifth Prince is mentally fragile. He immediately threw away his bow and arrow and ran away. If he loses his weapon on the battlefield, there will only be one outcome.

And the only outcome was death.

With a glance, they could tell that Zhen Bin was putting on an act to scheme against Tang Huaixiao.

As a consort, if she wanted to fight for favor, so be it. Why did she want to harm innocent people?

They had survived countless battles. How aggrieved would it be to die here for nothing? Tang Huaixiaos riding and archery skills were superb. They were lucky to be taught by her. Zhen Bins tricks were disgusting.

Xia Hongming looked at the Fifth Prince coldly and said in a low voice, Who injured you?

The Fifth Prince was so frightened that he forgot to cry. However, he still remembered what his mother had said, so he pointed at Tang Huaixiao with a trembling hand. Its her.

After pointing at Tang Huaixiao, the Fifth Prince recalled what Zhen Bin had instructed him to do. He was a prince, a member of the royal family, and the descendant of Xia Hongming. He was the most respected person. Anyone who wanted to hurt him would die.

The Fifth Prince opened his mouth and cried again, Father, it hurts. I cant hold anything anymore. Father, can you chop her head? Boohoo

Xia Hongmings eyes were filled with killing intent as he scolded sternly, Shut up. Youre so young, but you are already lying. Who taught you?

Teacher Tang, hit his other hand with the ruler again. I want to see how swollen it can get.

After saying that, Xia Hongming looked at the eunuch beside him coldly. Go and get the ruler.

The eunuch was terrified. He did not expect this at all. He thought that Xia Hongming was here to support Zhen Bin and her son. He did not expect Xia Hongming to be so angry and target Zhen Bin and her son.

Zhen Bin was so frightened that her heart jumped crazily. How did it become like this? It was completely different from what she had expected. She was pretending to faint, but now, she really wanted to faint.

Xia Hongmings att.i.tude caught the consorts off guard. They hugged their children and felt a lingering fear.

The eunuch quickly returned with a ruler.

He handed it to Tang Huaixiao respectfully.

Tang Huaixiao frowned and looked at Xia Hongming. The Fifth Prince is still young and cant take much pain. You dont have to do this.

When the Fifth Prince heard that he was going to be beaten again, he immediately lost his composure. He pushed Tang Huaixiao fiercely and scolded, You ugly freak, Im a prince. How dare you hit me? Father, quickly kill her. Mother said that theyre all lowly people. Im from the n.o.ble royal family

The palace maids at the side and Zhen Bin, who had opened her eyes, quickly covered the Fifth Princes mouth.

Zhen Bin could not continue to pretend to be unconscious. If she let her son continue, she did not dare to imagine what would happen. She could not take the risk.

Zhen Bin looked at Xia Hongming pleadingly. This time, she really cried. Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is young and ignorant. What he said cant be taken seriously. I was also muddle-headed just now. Ever since I was pregnant, my mind hasnt been clear. Its not Teacher Tangs fault for being strict. Its all because the Fifth Prince is too weak.

Zhen Bin cried sadly. She did not know that Xia Hongming would care more about these female soldiers who were more men than men.

Xia Hongmings expression was cold. Without a word, he took the ruler from Tang Huaixiao, pulled the Fifth Princes hand, and hit him.

The Fifth Prince burst into tears.

The ruler left a red mark, but the hand didnt swell much.

Xia Hongming said coldly, In order to frame Teacher Tang, Consort Zhen Bin scaled her sons hand. I will not tolerate anything of this sort happening in my imperial palace. From today onward, she will be locked up in the cold palace. As for the princes and princesses who dont respect their teacher, they will be sent to the disciplinary center.

The empress bowed and received the order. Yes, Your Majesty.

Xia Hongming looked at Tang Huaixiao and felt bad. He did not want others to know that he had feelings towards Tang Huaixiao, so he said coldly, Teachers, youve been wronged. In the future, you can teach them however you want. You dont have to worry about anything. I dont want my descendants to be cowards to abandon their weapon in battle.

The Fifth Prince had embarra.s.sed him greatly.

Hearing Xia Hongmings decisive voice, Xiang Hong and the others nodded in a daze.

The farce ended just like that. Zhen Bin entered the cold palace and had a miscarriage that night.

No one could read Xia Hongmings mind. What happened to Zhen Bin was a wake-up call to the consorts who still had evil thoughts.

Just because they gave birth to a child for the emperor didnt mean that they could be safe forever.

After this incident, no princes and princesses dared to complain.

After they stopped complaining, they learned well and their bodies naturally became stronger.

Tang Huaixiao was undoubtedly the strictest, but the princes wanted to be praised by her even more. It was as if it was a supreme honor to be praised by her.

Tang Huaixiao rarely praised them, but when they did a good job, she praised them generously. After another day of school, the four of them packed their things. Xiang Hong said, Ive been bored staying in the palace for the past few months. Its enough. Im going to hand in my resignation letter to the emperor. Ive taught everything I can..
