Xie Lixuan thought that after his scolding, Ji Zehai would return to normal.
But unexpectedly, his roar attracted Ji Zehai's attention.
Ji Zehai, who was out of control, suddenly turned his head and glared at Xie Lixuan with fierce eyes.
This glare startled Xie Lixuan so much that he shrank his neck.
After he realized what was happening, Xie Lixuan's expression immediately turned ugly.
Pointing at Ji Zehai angrily, he said, "Ji Zehai, are you trying to rebel? Come, take him down!"
But Ji Zehai had already gone crazy at this time and would not listen to anyone.
At this moment, Xie Lixuan, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looked like a golden grasshopper in his eyes, constantly provoking him.
Ji Zehai roared and rushed towards Xie Lixuan with his sword.
"Protect the Emperor!"
Seeing this, the guards beside Xie Lixuan quickly drew their swords and protected Xie Lixuan in the middle.
Another wave of guards also quickly rushed over and surrounded Ji Zehai.
Ji Zehai completely lost his mind and started slashing and killing people with his sword.
Xie Lixuan shouted angrily: "Someone tell me what is going on!"
After he finished speaking, a minister replied: "Your Majesty, Ji Zehai is having a mad attack and has lost his mind!"
"What?" Xie Lixuan was horrified. "He was fine just now, how could he suddenly have this attack?"
The minister said helplessly, "It's probably because the aged wine in the palace was too strong, and Lord Ji accidentally drank too much, which triggered his mental illness!"
"Why is there another crazy person!" Xie Lixuan shouted subconsciously.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers subconsciously looked at Xie Wanzhou in the corner.
Everyone knows that the "again" in Xie Lixuan's words refers to Xie Wanzhou.
For a moment, the gazes falling on Xie Wanzhou became more complicated than the last.
Ling Qing tightened his grip on the wheelchair, "Your Highness..."
"No problem, I'm used to it."
Xie Wanzhou raised his hand to stop Ling Qing from speaking.
Xie Lixuan seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing and immediately changed the subject, solemnly ordering, "Ji Zehai, as a minister of the imperial court, committed such a heinous act at the Empress Dowager's banquet. Today he will be thrown into prison, stripped of his title, and awaits his fate!"
"Come here, take him down!"
At Xie Lixuan's command, a group of guards came forward and finally surrounded Ji Zehai.
"Take him away!" Xie Lixuan shouted coldly, "I don't want to see him again!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The guards immediately took Ji Zehai away.
Unexpectedly, just as he brought the person to the door, Ji Zehai broke free from the guards, pulled out the nearest knife, and rushed towards the palace next door - the direction of the women's banquet.
Seeing this, Xie Lixuan shouted anxiously: "Quick, quick, stop him! Don't let him go to the next room and disturb the Queen Mother!"
-
On the other side, the women's table was peaceful.
Queen Mother Cui looked at the young faces below, a trace of nostalgia emerging on her face.
Looking at the nanny beside him, he murmured, "Zhiqiu, it's been a long time since I saw so many young faces."
Zhiqiu responded, "Compared to last year, there are indeed many more young faces at this year's palace banquet."
Hearing this, Queen Mother Cui glanced at Shen Ningyuan, her tone a little colder: "Especially that face that looks like Cui Jin, it makes me feel empty inside."
Zhiqiu tightened his grip and pondered how to respond.
But then Queen Mother Cui continued, "If Cui Jin had listened to me and become my daughter-in-law, that would have been wonderful. I could have a granddaughter who shared my bloodline."
Hearing the disappointment in Empress Dowager Cui's tone, Zhiqiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, everything in the world is about fate. If Miss Cui Jin doesn't want to enter the palace, you can't force her."
"Alas!" Queen Mother Cui sighed, "You are right. It is indeed impossible to force it."
Zhiqiu said softly, "It's great that the Empress Dowager can let go of it."
Unexpectedly, Queen Mother Cui changed the subject and snorted coldly, "But her choice wasn't necessarily a good one. Look at Chen Ningyuan, she ended up marrying into a poor marquisate, and her husband died a year after they got married, leaving her a widow in vain."
Zhiqiu was speechless, looking at Queen Mother Cui who looked unhappy, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort her.
Every year when Empress Dowager Cui returned to the palace and saw Cui Jin, she would complain about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Cui Jin did not enter the palace this year.
But when she saw Shen Ningyuan, Queen Mother Cui started complaining again.
"Alas, you said Cui Jin would regret it——"
"ah!!!"
Before Queen Mother Cui could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sharp shout.
Ji Zehai broke open the palace door and staggered in with a sword in hand.
The originally peaceful atmosphere was broken in an instant.
Shen Ningyuan heard the noise, turned her head to look in the direction of the door, and the corners of her mouth curled up instantly.
The medicine is really effective, it took effect so quickly.
At this moment, everyone in the hall gasped in shock when they saw Ji Zehai losing control.
Chen was so shocked that her mouth opened wide. She subconsciously ran towards Ji Zehai and asked nervously, "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
But unexpectedly, as soon as she got close, Ji Zehai swung his sword and slashed at her. Chen was so frightened that her face turned pale and she collapsed to the ground.
Seeing Ji Zehai losing his mind, Chen almost cried out, "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Zehai did not respond and continued to swing his sword at others.
For a moment, in the huge palace, everyone fled in panic and the scene was in chaos.
"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"
