Ming Xi looked up at the furious Ye Zhen and said softly, "Mother, I happened to pass by here."
"It's too dangerous here. Hurry back to the prince's residence." Ye Zhen said. Now that the soldiers were surrounding Tang Zhen, how could they protect him?
"What's wrong with Marquis Jingning?" Ming Xi was unmoved. His feet seemed to be rooted to the ground as he looked at Tang Zhen, who was fighting with Yan Han.
Ye Zhen saw Ming Xi's curious face and was so angry that she wanted to spank him. "Xiaoliu, take Ming Xi back to the prince's residence."
Yan Xiaoliu did not move.
"Xiaoliu …" Ye Zhen looked sideways but was startled by his face. "What's wrong with Xiaoliu?"
Ming Xi looked up at Yan Xiaoliu beside him, only to find that his face was pale and his eyes were fixed on Tang Zhen. His whole body was trembling and his hands were clenched into fists, as if caught in a memory.
"What's wrong?" Ming Xi asked Yan Xiaoliu in a low voice.
Yan Xiaoliu did not say a word and still stared at Tang Zhen.
At this time, Tang Zhen suddenly broke through the encirclement and ran towards them with his bare hands.
"Ah …" Yan Xiaoliu let out a scream. "Father, don't, don't!"
"Xiaoliu!" Ming Xi held his hand. "What did you say?"
"Protect the Empress." Xue Lin shouted.
Wu Chong stood in front of Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen's eyes widened in horror. "Protect Ming Xi …"
Before she finished speaking, Tang Zhen had already arrived in front of Ming Xi and raised his hand to drape it over his head.
Everyone's face changed.
"Don't …" Ye Zhen screamed. She couldn't let anything happen to Ming Xi.
"Your Highness!" Yan Han and Xue Lin shouted at the same time.
Mo Rongyi rushed up and slashed Tang Zhen's back with his sword. Who knew that Tang Zhen had become invulnerable? He seemed to feel no pain and still did not let go of killing Ming Xi.
Tang Zhen looked at Ming Xi's eyes like a wolf seeing meat.
It was too late to stop Tang Zhen. Everyone began to despair. If something happened to His Royal Highness, no one would be able to live.
Everything happened in the nick of time.
Ming Xi didn't seem to feel the fear of others. His small body still stood straight. Seeing Tang Zhen's hand coming at his head, he subconsciously reached out to catch it. In fact, he wanted to avoid it, but Tang Zhen's speed was too fast. In an instant, he came in front of him.
"No …" Ye Zhen's vision darkened.
Bang!
Tang Zhen's body fell heavily to the ground.
"…" Everyone was stunned.
They thought they would see the scene of His Royal Highness being beaten to a bloody head. Instead, the invincible Tang Zhen was easily beaten out.
"Ming Xi, are you okay?" Ye Zhen had already hugged Ming Xi, holding him in her arms and carefully examining him.
"I'm fine." Ming Xi looked at his palm in confusion. "Imperial Mother, I'm fine."
Ye Zhen looked at him in shock. "You … are you really okay?"
Ming Xi smiled and looked at Tang Zhen who had fallen to the ground. "What happened to Marquis Jingning?"
"…" Ye Zhen didn't know how to answer Ming Xi. She checked her son's whole body and there was no sign of injury. She remembered that Mo Rongzhan had told her that there was a strong internal force in Ming Xi's body.
"Your Highness, Marquis Jingning was knocked out and seems to be seriously injured." Yan Han came to Ye Zhen and said, but her eyes looked at Ming Xi in shock.
Several of them couldn't stop Tang Zhen even when they teamed up. The little prince just hit him with his palm. It was incredible.
How powerful was the little prince's internal force?
"First, Marquis Jingning …" Ye Zhen wanted to say that he should be sent back to the Imperial Hospital, but when she saw the blood all over the ground, her eyes flashed with grief. "Take Marquis Jingning to the secret guards, clean him up, and let him recuperate there for the time being."
Only the secret guards could lock people up. Now, no one could control Tang Zhen, so he could only be locked up first.
"Yes, Your Highness." Yan Han answered in a low voice.
"Your Highness, Marquis Jingning didn't really want to kill people. He was … he was poisoned." Tang Zhen knelt down, thinking that Ye Zhen was going to blame Tang Zhen.
Ye Zhen said, "Only the secret guards can lock him up and protect him the best. If he is sent back to the Tang family, I am afraid that someone will harm him."
Of course, she knew that Tang Zhen did not kill people intentionally. It was because he was poisoned by the poisonous pill that he lost his mind.
"Where is the medical officer Qi?" Ye Zhen suddenly thought of Qi Jin.
"Your Highness, I am here." Qi Jin came over with one hand covering her shoulder. She was also injured by Tang Zhen.
Seeing that Qi Jin's life was not in danger, Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. However, many people in the palace were killed. If Tang Zhen woke up in the future, he would certainly feel very guilty.
"Sister-in-law, leave this to me for the time being. You should take Ming Xi back first." Mo Rongyi said to Ye Zhen.
"Ming Xi, are you scared?" Ye Zhen asked Ming Xi in a low voice.
"Mother, I'm fine. You go ahead with your business. I will take Yan Xiaoliu back first." Ming Xi said, looking worriedly at Yan Xiaoliu, who had just fainted after screaming.
Ye Zhen took a deep look at Yan Xiaoliu. She just heard Yan Xiaoliu's scream. The meaning of those words … seemed to be related to Yan Jia Village. She didn't have time to ask now. "Well, when you go back, give Yan Xiaoliu a pill that mother gave you."
"Good." Ming Xi nodded obediently.
Ye Zhen asked the guards to carry Yan Xiaoliu back to the prince's residence. Mo Rongyi stayed behind to clean up the imperial hospital and let the uninjured imperial doctors treat the injured. "Yi, the dungeon needs to be guarded by the imperial soldiers."
"I know, I won't let Marquis Jingning kill again." Mo Rongyi whispered. Tang Zhen used to be gentle and generous, but now he has become like this. He felt pity for the palace people who were killed, but at the same time, he felt deep pain for Tang Zhen.
If Tang Zhen can't be cured, then … what will he become?
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "I will go and see Marquis Jingning."
"Niang …" Qi Jin stopped Ye Zhen. "When Marquis Jingning woke up, he was still a little conscious. He kept calling … Master Pan."
"Master Pan?" Ye Zhen frowned. "Who is it?"
"It seems to be the person who gave him the poisonous pill." Qi Jin said.
Ye Zhen's expression changed slightly. She looked sideways at Yan Han. "Let someone check the identity of this person."
"Yes, Heavenly Consort."
Tang Zhen had been sent to the secret guards. Although it was gloomy here, it was the most suitable place for Tang Zhen to recuperate.
"Niang, Marquis Jingning was seriously injured." The prince's palm was too powerful. If Tang Zhen's internal force had not been several times stronger than before, he would have been killed long ago.
Ye Zhen nodded gently, walked to the bed and stopped to feel Tang Zhen's pulse.
"The poisonous pill … can swallow other toxins …" Ye Zhen looked at Tang Zhen in shock. For the first time, she felt unprecedented fear in her heart.
