Chapter 190: A hilarious farce
Chen's eyes went dark and she wished she could faint on the spot.
This old woman has stayed in the old house for too long and is used to being domineering.
Now that I have entered the capital, I have no idea what the rules are. I treat the palace as if I am at home.
Could the emperor beat the eunuchs around him just as she pleased?
When Shen Ningyuan saw this scene, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, with a happy smile in her eyes as if she was watching a good show.
I thought to myself: Does Chen think that the Ji family didn't die fast enough?
They didn't even bother to invite back Madam Ji, this living Buddha.
After such a commotion in the palace, the emperor’s impression of the Ji family must have become even worse.
Thinking of this, the smile in Shen Ningyuan's eyes became even brighter.
Madam Ji even dared to beat the eunuchs around the emperor.
She probably didn't realize that she was not hitting the little eunuch, but was blatantly slapping the face of the royal family.
The young eunuch who was beaten felt a burning pain on his face.
It had been many years since he was transferred to serve His Majesty and he had not been humiliated like this.
For a moment, he stood there in a daze, completely unable to react.
But when he finally came to his senses, Madam Ji raised her hand high and slapped him hard again.
While slapping him, he gnashed his teeth and cursed: "You dog slave! I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze?"
Seeing this scene, the arc of Shen Ningyuan's mouth corners became wider, and there was a happy smile in his eyebrows and eyes.
This old lady Ji is really the death warrant invited by the Chen family. How interesting!
If she hadn't come along, she probably wouldn't have been able to see this wonderful show.
At this moment, seeing Madam Ji who was even more arrogant and domineering than before, Chen felt weak all over and her vision went dark.
It’s over!
It's all over!
The Ji family is completely hopeless!
Now, she could only pray silently in her heart that Madam Ji's status as a royal decree would allow His Majesty to show leniency and forgive her disrespect.
After being slapped twice in a row, the young eunuch was completely enraged.
His fingers trembled slightly with anger and shock, and he pointed at Madam Ji and shouted angrily: "How dare you! This is in the palace, do you know the rules?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another slap came whistling.
"How dare you talk to me like that? You deserve to be beaten!"
Old Madam Ji seemed to be addicted to beating. After slapping the little eunuch for the third time, she slapped him again with her backhand.
Shen Ningyuan couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
So interesting.
I didn't expect that there would be such a person in the Ji family's old house.
Based on her attitude towards the emperor's personal eunuch, Shen Ningyuan could imagine what kind of hellish scene it would be when Madam Ji met the emperor later.
The eunuch was furious after being slapped four times for no reason.
He didn't care about the person in front of him or her status. He took two steps back in anger and shouted at the guards around him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take this bitch down. If you disturb His Majesty, watch out for your heads!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards rushed up like tigers, trying to control Madam Ji.
But unexpectedly, although the old lady looked old, her body was extremely flexible.
After dealing with a group of guards for two rounds, he suddenly ran towards the imperial study.
Seeing this scene, the young eunuch was suddenly panicked.
"Quick, quick, stop her, don't let her get close to the imperial study, don't disturb His Majesty!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing that the emperor was in the imperial study, Madam Ji became even more excited and instantly quickened her pace.
The young eunuch and Chen were so nervous that they were afraid that Old Madam Ji would offend His Majesty, and they would be in big trouble then!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, two quick-eyed and quick-handed guards caught Madam Ji and forcibly took her back to the side hall.
The young eunuch then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, His Majesty was not alarmed and his head was saved.
On the other hand, Chen's life was not so easy.
Seeing Madam Ji being held by two guards, still with an arrogant look on her face, Chen's heart rose to her throat again.
I was worried that Madam Ji would say something outrageous!
really.
Chen's guess was correct.
Holding her tightly by two guards, unable to move, Chen struggled desperately while cursing, "You bunch of slaves, you dare to stop me from seeing the emperor? You are so bold!"
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows again.
This drama is becoming more and more interesting.
Madam Ji had no intention of stopping and continued to shout loudly: "Call the emperor out! I want to ask him what my son did wrong to be treated so badly by him, not only to be thrown into prison to suffer, but also to be stripped of my Ji family's title!"
The sound was sharp and piercing, echoing inside and outside the side hall.
The palace maids and eunuchs passing by were so frightened that they lowered their heads and dared not breathe.
Chen's legs went limp and she fell backwards on the spot.
Fortunately, Shen Ningyuan reached out in time and supported Chen from behind.
He reminded her in a joking tone: "Madam, be careful."
Probably because she was too nervous, Chen didn’t recognize Shen Ningyuan’s voice.
She looked at Madam Ji in panic, as if she had gone mad, and kept muttering, "It's over, it's all over, the Ji family is finished!"
Shen Ningyuan stood quietly behind Chen, with an imperceptible sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Thought.
Is that it?
No, it's far from enough.
However, Madam Ji's incident actually saved her a lot of energy.
She was worried that she couldn't find an opportunity to expose the Ji family's ugly behavior in front of the emperor.
The young eunuch was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and didn't bother to pursue the matter of the other party slapping him.
She said with a sad face: "Madam, the Imperial Study is where the Emperor handles state affairs. No one is allowed to enter without being summoned. You can't just go in and enter!"
The tone was earnest.
He was really scared.
He was afraid that the old lady would really get into trouble, and he would not be able to afford the blame.
But he was secretly wondering in his heart: How could such a small, inferior family produce such a bold and audacious ancestor!
At this moment, a majestic voice came from outside the hall: "What happened?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xie Lixuan, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walking into the side hall with steady steps.
Beside him, followed Xie Yumin, who had a dull and pale face.
Shen Ningyuan tilted her head slightly and noticed Xie Yumin at a glance.
When I saw what the other person was wearing, I immediately became suspicious.
Which son of the emperor is this person?
She had no impression at all.
When Shen Ningyuan was looking at Xie Yumin, the latter happened to turn around and his eyes fell on Shen Ningyuan.
Their eyes met, and the other party seemed to recognize Shen Ningyuan and nodded slightly at her.
Polite and courteous.
His reaction made Shen Ningyuan stunned again.
Did this person...recognize her?
After Xie Lixuan and Xie Yumin walked in, the little eunuch hurried to Xie Lixuan and waited carefully.
Xie Lixuan glanced at the young eunuch, then looked at the chaotic scene in the hall, and finally set his eyes on Madam Ji who was held by the guards.
He asked in a deep voice: "Who is she?"
When the emperor mentioned her, Madam Ji's eyes trembled, as if she saw a savior, and tears instantly fell like rain.
