King Jin felt both aggrieved and choked with frustration, murmuring through the pain unclearly, "Nonsense, they hit me even after I said I am King Jin."
"How come? Jin Zijin, you did that on purpose," the Empress angrily said.
Jin Zijin sneered, "So if you say you are, you are? Does that mean anyone can claim to be some king and just bring men to storm into my residence?"
The Empress and King Jin were at a loss for words.
After a moment, King Jin, still enduring the pain, added, "Also, this punch on my face was from you."
The Empress looked at Jin Zijin in shock and angrily said, "You are brothers; how could you bring yourself to do this?"
Jin Zijin hesitated for a moment, then a short while later said, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
"You..." the Empress was beside herself with frustration and turned to address the silently seated Emperor, "Your Majesty, look at the attitude of the Crown Prince; he has beaten King Jin to this state, what do you think should be done?"
