Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

"Ah!" Mu Yunzhu screamed because King Yan's severed hand was flying towards her. She was so scared that she didn't know how to retreat for a moment and her hands and feet went limp.

The severed hand was still holding a long sword.

At the critical moment, she pulled the palace maid beside her, asked her to stand in front of her, and stepped back herself.

But it was too late, another huge figure flew towards her.

Before she could react, she was thrown heavily to the ground.

Her head went dark, her eyes closed, and she passed out.

Everyone was stunned. At that moment, the entire back garden became quiet, and even the screams stopped.

Everyone looked at Zhong Ran stupidly, then at King Yan whose arm was broken, and covered their mouths tightly, afraid that they would scream and attract Zhong Ran's attention.

That was the Prince of Yan, the Queen's legitimate son, yet he had one arm cut off.

Neither the Queen nor the Prime Minister will let this go.

Even all of them who came to the banquet today and witnessed everything here might be implicated.

If they had known this would happen today, they would not have come.

Mrs. Zhong San, the girls she brought with her, and Zhong Dai'er were all limp at this point.

It's over. It's all over this time.

That bitch, even if she wants to die, don't involve them.

Zhong Ran ignored their feelings and slowly scanned the crowd with his eyes.

Anyone who met her gaze turned their heads away, and no one dared to look at her even for a second.

The guards did not dare to speak. They quietly helped Prince Yan up, picked up his severed hand, and quickly slipped away.

They had to take Prince Yan to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, perhaps the severed hand could be reattached.

But they were afraid that Zhong Ran would stop them after finding out, so they took the person away quietly.

Mu Yunzhu, King Cheng and Mu Ziyi were also quietly carried away.

The rest of the people looked at Zhong Ran warily, fearing that she would suddenly attack again.

Many people quietly retreated, wanting to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

"Are you guys still going to hold this party? I'm already here, there's no reason for me to leave hungry. Hurry up and serve the food."

Zhong Ran withdrew his gaze and spoke in a cold voice.

Everyone trembled inexplicably. After such a big thing happened, she still had the mood to eat?

Does she know that her death is approaching?

When Prince Cheng's concubine came to her senses, she was afraid that she would suddenly kill someone again, so she quickly ordered someone to bring her food.

She was so weak at this moment that she needed two maids to support her to stand steadily.

At this moment, she didn't dare to do anything. She just wanted to comfort this young lady and wait for someone from the palace to come.

What happened here spread like wildfire, and the Queen and Concubine Yi in the palace were all furious.

Concubine Yi was the mother of Prince Cheng and Mu Ziyi, while Prince Yan and Mu Yunzhu were the legitimate son and daughter of the Queen.

Mu Yunzhu is the eldest princess. Because she is the first child, the emperor treats her very well, but the queen does not like her that much.

The reason is very simple, just because she is not a son, he cannot compete for her favor.

Moreover, because she was unable to conceive again for many years after giving birth to her, the queen actually resented her eldest daughter.

But no matter how much resentment and hatred there is, she is still her own daughter, and it is not the right of outsiders to beat or scold her.

What made her even more devastated was the news that King Yan had one arm cut off.

Her son was going to compete for that position. Now that his arm was broken, how could he compete for it in the future?

"Your Majesty, you must stand up for the children. That Miss Zhong is too arrogant and must be severely punished."

The queen cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears and her body was shaking.

She is also middle-aged, but because she takes good care of herself, she looks only around 30 years old.

The emperor had many children, but she had only one son and one daughter.

Her daughter is already married, and her son is the foundation for her to secure her position as queen, and he is also the one who will compete for that position.

Now that something happened, she was completely devastated.

The emperor rubbed his brows with a headache and said to the eunuch Gui beside him: "Old Gui, take people and bring Miss Zhong back."

How come that girl is more trouble-making than her mother?

Prince Ning had just left the palace. He had wanted to go to Prince Cheng's mansion for a long time, but the emperor stopped him and talked to him for a while.

As soon as he left the palace and heard about this, his face was full of doting smiles, and he turned back to the palace.

As soon as Zhong Ran started eating, Eunuch Gui, who was beside the emperor, came over with twelve guards.

"Miss Zhong, the emperor asked our family to invite you to the palace."

He had a good attitude and even had a slight smile on his face.

He knew Zhong Ran's identity and the emperor's thoughts, so his attitude towards her was okay.

Zhong Ran didn't even raise her head and said calmly, "I've just started eating. It's shameful to waste food. Wait until I finish eating."

The young ladies and servants who were waiting in the distance were stunned when they heard her words. The emperor invited her into the palace, but she actually wanted Eunuch Gui to wait until she was full?

Everyone looked at Eunuch Gui, and many of them were even thinking, do the twelve people brought by Eunuch Gui dare to charge forward?

Eunuch Gui is really something. They must have heard about what happened outside in the palace. They knew that this bastard from the countryside was very skilled in martial arts, but they didn't even bring more people out.

What if she doesn't want to enter the palace, what if she wants to escape?

Now that such a dangerous person has escaped, will he take the opportunity to take revenge on them in the future?

After all, many young ladies had mocked her before.

Eunuch Gui bent down slightly and said, "Miss Zhong, please eat slowly and don't choke."

His attitude not only stunned the other ladies, but also surprised Zhong Ran.

As early as the last time she met the emperor, she discovered that the emperor's attitude towards her was abnormal.

The emperor seemed a little too kind to her.

But her father, Zhong Qingshan, was too cold towards her.

What does this mean? Could it be that she is actually the emperor's daughter, and for some reason, she has to be fostered under Zhong Qingshan's name?

She was startled by the thought, but then she ignored it and lowered her head to eat slowly.

Eunuch Gui took two steps back and casually called over a servant.

"How is King Yan's injury?"

The Prince of Yan had his hand cut off. In order to avoid causing secondary injuries, he stayed directly in Prince Cheng's mansion and sent a royal physician out of the mansion to treat him.

The servant's voice trembled: "My lord, the imperial physician said that because it was done in time, the hand can be reattached, but I'm afraid it will leave a root cause of the disease in the future."

God knows, when they heard the news, they felt like the sky was falling.

Something happened to Prince Yan in Prince Cheng's mansion, and the Queen and others were afraid that they would take their anger out on Prince Cheng.

King Cheng was offended. Can they still have a good life after returning home?

Eunuch Gui muttered to himself, this Miss Zhong is really too great, she even cut off the arm of Prince Yan, this matter can be a big deal or a small one.

"Have the imperial physician treat the patient with all his strength. If you need any famous medicine, please report it immediately."

Although he was just a eunuch serving the emperor, he had been with the emperor for more than 30 years.

The emperor had been with him since he was still a prince. He knew the emperor's thoughts very well and naturally knew what to do.

Moreover, today's incident is so serious, I don't know if it will alarm that person?

Thinking about it, he felt a headache for the emperor.
