At today's palace banquet, all the officials and their families were present. They were all frightened by Chen's words and dared not look directly at His Majesty. They could only secretly observe the Shen family members and Shen Zhiyi.
The Shen family remained silent, not daring to show even the slightest surprise or dissatisfaction.
The whole world belongs to the king.
Who dares to question His Majesty!
As Gao Daban supported Emperor Xiaoxuan, he had already given a signal to the servants below:
Take that crazy woman away right now!
"I'm telling the truth, don't touch me, I'm telling the whole truth, if you dare touch me, do you want to die?"
"You think you can bully me just because I'm down on my luck? No way!"
“I’m telling you, my son has gone to the battlefield. Once he makes a contribution, he will be promoted and ennobled. His Majesty has assigned him a special mission. If he completes it, he can ask His Majesty to release me from prison.”
Special mission?
Who is it targeting?
"Shen Zhiyi, your smugness won't last long!"
"That's the Emperor, what can your Shen family do to contend with him? Haha..."
Although Chen's words were incoherent, every sentence pointed directly to Emperor Xiaoxuan.
Even though he was being held down, he kept yelling, "Let me go! Let me go right now!"
“Our Song family works for His Majesty. Get your dirty hands off him.”
"Get out of here—"
Madam Chen's gaze suddenly locked onto Shen Zhiyi: "Did you do this? Shen Zhiyi, you little slut, you only rely on your good birth, so what? You're still a slave in our Marquis's mansion, obeying my every word as your mother-in-law?"
"If you make them let go, maybe I can get Yuxiu to forgive you!"
“You should take good care of the child for Yuxiu. When your entire Shen family is executed, you might still be spared.”
They raided the Duke's mansion?
You're really bold!
Zhou Xuance sneered: "Who dares to raid the Duke's mansion?"
"The Shen family has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. It's only a matter of time before their property is confiscated. I'm telling you, stay away from the Shen family!"
Although Chen appeared deranged and spoke incoherently, everyone still sensed something unusual in her words.
because……
When the young master of the Shen family got married, the Duke's mansion was indeed falsely accused of treason.
The one who slandered the Shen family was Marquis Xuanhua, Song Maozhang.
It's the Song family again!
His Majesty was also present at the time.
However, no evidence was found, and instead the Song family was dragged into the mess.
Those officials who could attend the palace banquet and sit in that position were mostly not fools; some had already sensed something unusual.
perhaps,
His Majesty really wants to take action against the Shen family.
They chose the Song family, but the Song family were all fools. They couldn't even touch the Duke's mansion; instead, they ruined the entire family!
The Shen family has a long history of meritorious service, but they are suspected of being too powerful for their master. However, the Shen family is too peaceful, and Shen Chongde has no concubines. The inner quarters are very quiet. They are low-key and impenetrable, making it very difficult to find fault with them.
Since ancient times, the saying goes, "When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away." Throughout history, few powerful ministers and virtuous generals have met a good end...
Not wanting to bear the reputation of mistreating loyal ministers and generals,
They also wanted to deal with the Shen family.
That's why we used the Song family's knife!
If this were true, the ministers felt a chill run through their bodies, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to speak, feeling both shocked and fearful.
I'm afraid that one day, I and my family will be targeted!
The patrolling guard who escorted him hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this madwoman spread rumors in the streets of the capital that damage Your Majesty's prestige, so this humble servant..."
Emperor Xiaoxuan was already in poor health. He felt his blood churning and coughed violently, unable to speak. He just gripped Gao Daban's hand tightly, his knuckles digging into his flesh.
Gao Daban had served him since childhood, so he naturally understood.
"You insolent thing! This madwoman, with her utterly indecent behavior, how dare you bring her before His Majesty and defile His holy ears!"
"How dare you slander His Majesty!"
"You Song family members are all deserving of death, daring to sow discord between His Majesty and the Duke of Zhenguo. Who is His Majesty? He would never do such a thing."
As a result, after Gao Daban finished speaking, Chen seemed to go even crazier:
"Why is it impossible!"
"He dares to harm even his own flesh and blood relatives, let alone the Shen family!"
"What are the Shen family anyway!"
"Can they compare to Consort Xiao and the Regent? That mother and son were ultimately dealt with by His Majesty..."
"You scoundrel! Shut up!" Emperor Xiaoxuan roared.
"Who do you think you are, and what gives you the right to tell me to shut up?" Madam Chen had truly gone mad, seemingly not recognizing the person before her as the current emperor.
"Everything I said is true."
“The child is so young, what mother would abandon her child to die? Don’t you all think about this carefully…”
She didn't finish her sentence!
Gao Da rushed forward in a few strides!
He drew the sword directly from the guard's waist, in front of all the officials.
Draw your sword—
He aimed for Chen's chest and stabbed him!
The moment the sword was drawn, blood gushed out, and Chen's pupils dilated instantly. "You...you dare to hurt me..."
After she was imprisoned, she was tortured, which made her somewhat resistant to pain. For a moment, she didn't feel any pain, broke free of her restraints, and instead pounced on her tall companion.
Gao Daban was also stunned for a moment.
When she realized what was happening, Chen, like a mad dog, grabbed his clothes and bit his neck.
The horrific screams instantly echoed throughout the entire sacrificial ceremony.
Gao Daban cried out in pain, losing his grip on the sword, which clattered to the ground. He had used all his strength to push Chen away.
His neck was torn open, and blood gushed out instantly.
Chen's mouth was a bloody mess, but his eyes were still shining with excitement and madness.
Like a wild beast!
Everyone was terrified.
Is this a human being?
They're clearly animals!
