All the palace guards had a hint of helplessness in their expressions, but the leader still explained to Su Yingxue, "Your Highness, we are acting on the orders of Noble Consort Xiao to stop the Ninth Prince from leaving the palace and, moreover, to imprison the Ninth Prince within the palace."
"Imprisoned? Even if a prince commits a transgression, since when did it become your role to punish him?"
Su Yingxue spoke sternly, "Now, this very moment, release the Ninth Prince for me!"
With a flick of the leash in her hand, Shan Bao immediately let out a thunderous roar, "Roar!"
His fierce roar as he bared his sharp fangs made every palace guard tremble with fear.
They knew they were no match for this white tiger and could only become its prey!
Just as they hesitated and were about to release Chu Jinling, a haughty voice rang out, "Empress, it was I who ordered them to act. You need not blame them! As for my son, the emperor needn't worry himself with matters concerning him."
