"Xu Su, you claim the Sixth Prince defied my will. I can tell you directly that he was acting on my orders when he went to investigate the situation with you!" Huangfu Haoran said flatly, looking at Xu Su.
Xu Su's expression remained unchanged. He spoke in a clear, resonant voice, "But that is not what the Sixth Prince did. He brought his men and surrounded the National Guardian General's Mansion. His demeanor was aggressive, and he intended to arrest me on the spot..."
As he spoke, Xu Su looked up, met the Emperor's gaze, and continued, "My father has long guarded the Border Region, bleeding for the kingdom and rendering it great service. But yesterday, the Sixth Prince's actions would have led any uninformed observer to believe my Xu Family had committed some heinous act of treason and was about to have our estate seized!"
