Everyone looked closely and found that it was Shen Ningyuan!
Queen Mother Cui looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise. She didn't expect that the person who rushed to save her at the critical moment would be Shen Ningyuan.
Thinking of this, Queen Mother Cui looked at Shen Ningyuan with a look that suddenly became more complicated.
After Shen Ningyuan blocked the attack, she turned to look at Queen Mother Cui and asked, "Queen Mother, are you okay?"
Queen Mother Cui was about to shake her head, but she saw Ji Zehai pull out the sword with force and slash at Shen Ningyuan with his backhand.
"Child, be careful!" Queen Mother Cui shouted nervously.
Shen Ningyuan turned around immediately, but was unable to dodge and a bloody mark was left on his arm.
When Xie Wanzhou was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed in by Ling Qing, he happened to see Shen Ningyuan being injured.
Seeing Ji Zehai swinging the second sword, Xie Wanzhou's face darkened and the folding fan in his hand flew out.
The next second, the folding fan flew in front of Ji Zehai and hit his wrist accurately.
Ji Zehai was careless and his sword fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
At this moment, Xie Lixuan arrived with a group of guards. After seeing that Ji Zehai had no weapon, more than a dozen guards suppressed Ji Zehai with long swords.
Even so, Ji Zehai continued to struggle.
He roared like a trapped beast.
Xie Lixuan walked up to Queen Mother Cui and asked with a worried look on his face, "Mother, are you okay?"
Queen Mother Cui shook her head.
"I'm fine, but..." Queen Mother Cui looked at Shen Ningyuan worriedly, "but this girl, in order to save me, her arm was scratched."
Xie Lixuan looked in the direction of Queen Mother Cui and was stunned when he saw the wound on Shen Ningyuan's arm.
Obviously, no one expected that among all the women in the palace, the only one who stood up to save the Queen Mother was Shen Ningyuan.
Then he retracted his gaze, looked at Ji Zehai coldly, strode over and kicked him.
"Ji Zehai, you're so bold! Going crazy at the men's banquet next door is one thing, but you actually ran to the Empress Dowager's palace banquet and did such a thing. What crime should you be punished for?"
"Tie him up for me!" the Queen Mother ordered furiously. "I want to see who gave him the audacity to cause trouble at my palace banquet!"
The guards acted quickly and tied Ji Zehai up with thick ropes.
At this time, Ji Zehai was already out of breath due to excessive struggle.
But his eyes were still fierce, staring at the people around him viciously.
Seeing this, the leading guard gave Ji Zehai a hard kick.
"It's already this time, and you still dare to be so arrogant, bah!"
After being kicked, Ji Zehai seemed to have come to his senses a little.
He raised his head and looked around blankly, his eyes full of confusion.
When he saw Xie Lixuan's angry face again, the confusion in Ji Zehai's eyes became more obvious.
"Your Majesty, what happened? Why...why am I here?"
Xie Lixuan sneered, "Okay, okay, Ji Zehai, you are pretending to be confused with me now, right?"
Then he pointed around and said, "Look carefully at what you have done!"
Hearing this, Ji Zehai looked over in panic, and seeing the mess all around him, he instantly came to his senses.
He asked with a trembling voice: "This, this, this... were all these done by this old minister?"
No one responded, and Ji Zehai's heart skipped a beat.
Especially when he saw Chen's tearful eyes, Ji Zehai felt panicked.
"If it wasn't you who did it, could it be that I did it? Or perhaps it was the women here who did it?"
Xie Lixuan laughed in anger, "Ji Zehai, you are pretending to be confused with me now, right? Come, drag him away and torture him severely! I want to investigate clearly whether he has gone insane or has planned this all along!"
"Your Majesty!" Ji Zehai's face suddenly changed, and he begged for mercy loudly: "Your humble servant is loyal to you and has no second thoughts. I really don't know how it turned out like this!"
But no matter how he shouted, Xie Lixuan remained unmoved. He waved his long sleeves and said, "Take him away!"
Afterwards, the guards quickly dragged Ji Zehai away. No matter how he wailed and shouted, it was of no use.
Until Ji Zehai's shouting gradually disappeared outside the palace, Chen fell to the ground with a dejected look on her face.
She knew that after this incident, the Ji family was finished.
At this time, many people in the hall were pointing and talking at Chen.
Xie Lixuan turned around, bowed to the Queen Mother, and said with a guilty look on his face, "Mother, I am late and I frightened you."
The Empress Dowager's face was gloomy. She waved her hand and said, "Emperor, you have hosted so many palace banquets for me, and nothing as serious as this has ever happened. This must be thoroughly investigated! I want to see who else is behind this!"
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!" Xie Lixuan immediately responded.
At this time, Queen Mother Cui turned her gaze to Shen Ningyuan and ran towards her worriedly, "Child, are you okay?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am fine."
Although she said so, the slightly furrowed brow still made Empress Dowager Cui see the clue.
Seeing the bleeding wound on Shen Ningyuan's arm, Queen Mother Cui's face darkened, "With such a big wound, how could it be not serious?"
"What are you all standing there for? Go call the doctor!"
After giving the order, Queen Mother Cui looked at Shen Ningyuan with a look full of heartache.
"Child, you must be in pain, right?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "Replying to the Queen Mother, the wound looks serious, but it doesn't hurt at all."
