Chapter 115: I will never let them have their way
When the news came out, Deng Youning and Li Qinghuan were even more agitated than Jun Chenyi just now.
"What?!"
"A toad wants to eat swan flesh. Is the Wu family crazy or is the emperor crazy?"
Li Qinghuan cursed and started cursing without caring about anything else.
Emperor Dongji’s son Jun Chenyi is still here!
"You must not be rude to His Majesty!"
Jun Chenyi advised softly.
Li Qinghuan, who was an elegant lady a moment ago, has now turned into a shrew.
For some reason, Jun Chenyi found this hypocritical and fickle woman very interesting.
"Cousin, what's going on?"
"Where's Ah Zhuo?"
Deng Youning asked calmly in the face of danger.
The marriage was granted suddenly by imperial decree, and I don’t know if Li Tianzhuo knew about it. Will he have any extreme reaction?
"After the morning court session just now, the emperor left my uncle alone, so the three of us waited for him for a while. Tian Zhuo already knew about the marriage."
"In order to prevent him from doing anything extreme, we have knocked him out. He should have been taken back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion by my uncle, Yan An and the others. Come back with me and discuss countermeasures!"
Jun Chenyi eagerly grabbed Deng Youning's wrist and turned to leave.
Li Qinghuan was also somewhat worried, so he took the initiative to follow him to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
When they arrived, the Deng family already knew about this.
Han Qiongyue clutched Deng Youning's hand with heartache. She had just had a few days of good life!
Deng Ren also looked at her worriedly.
Li Tianzhuo, who had already woken up, had bloodshot eyes, pursed his lips and remained silent, and there seemed to be a sinister black aura surrounding him.
"Ning girl, if you don't want to get married, even the emperor can't force you."
"At worst, we can just leave and go to the rivers and lakes far away from the capital."
Deng Ren said generously that he was already planning an elopement route for Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo.
"At worst, I can sacrifice my reputation and go and beg the Queen Mother to persuade the Emperor to take back his decision."
Han Qiongyue became more and more confused as she became more and more anxious. She completely ignored the emperor's words and did not consider that even he himself could not change the emperor's decision.
"Uncle, aunt, please stop giving me such stupid advice!"
Jun Chenyi couldn't listen any more.
When the emperor grants a marriage, one cannot disobey his order; one cannot take back his order; and one cannot escape the marriage.
Otherwise, even if Deng Youning could escape, the imperial power would not let other members of the Deng family go, and might even implicate a wider group of people.
Deng Ren suddenly sighed and blamed himself:
"After the morning court session, the emperor asked me to go to the Yangxin Palace and asked if Ning girl was married. I didn't think much about it and just told her the truth."
"After that... there was no after that. They just issued an oral decree to grant the marriage."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told the truth!"
He slapped his thigh in regret.
It was all my fault that I didn’t have a quick enough brain at the time and didn’t react in time, which caused Deng Youning to suffer.
"Uncle Deng, this is not your fault, it's me!"
Li Tianzhuo took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself.
Everyone looked at him suspiciously again.
"After I returned to the capital from General Feng, His Majesty summoned me to the palace and chatted with me, asking me how I was injured."
"I just said that I was saving people in the Crazy Lion Village."
"Afterwards, he asked me a few more questions about Ning Ning and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I just answered casually and didn't say much to him."
"Looking back now, he wasn't in the right mood at the time!"
Li Tianzhuo still remembered that the emperor's face was particularly gloomy after he talked about the Deng family that night.
There seemed to be a hint of hostility in his eyes that made people feel that something was wrong.
Especially when talking about Deng Youning, his expression was as if he had mentioned a serious concern.
"Uncle, don't worry."
"Azhuo, don't rush to apologize."
"Everyone calm down!"
Deng Youning, the person involved, was surprisingly calm at this moment and calmed everyone down.
She suspected that the emperor had deliberately arranged the marriage against her and Azhuo.
The emperor must have noticed their feelings and wanted to break them up!
As for Wu Yanei, maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe he deliberately wanted to disgust the Deng family, so he pointed himself to him.
She believed that even if there was no Wu Yanei, there would be Zhang Yanei, Wang Yanei, Li Yanei...
In short, it is absolutely impossible for me to be with Ah Zhuo!
But these are just her guesses.
It is also possible that the Wu family or the prince went to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage in order to avenge himself and the Deng family for repeatedly ruining their plans.
But no matter which one it is, she will never let them get their way!
Deng Youning shared his analysis with everyone.
Li Tianzhuo is a knife in the emperor's hand. He has no emotions and is just a very sharp and easy-to-use knife.
But now, he has feelings and someone he can hold in his heart.
Then his knife may get out of control at any time and may disobey the owner's orders.
The emperor was reluctant to throw away the sword, so he could only do his best to repair it.
"I have an idea."
Deng Yan'an suddenly had an idea, and the rosary in his hand seemed to be blessed for him.
"We can find another man as soon as possible, exchange business cards with him, get married in a fake way, and then divorce him after the storm has passed."
Han Qiongyue was also thinking about what he said, "That's good!"
But the problem is, who among the prominent families would be willing to help in this way?
Anyway, Jun Chenyi couldn’t find a suitable candidate.
"Why not... go and ask Han Xian for help?"
Han Qiongyue spoke hesitantly.
Han Xian is the eldest grandson of General Han and the son of the eldest branch of the Han family.
He has been well-read since childhood, and I heard that he is preparing to take the imperial examination next year.
But this is also a miserable child. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by General Han himself. He has been living with them in Qingzhou.
So even Han Qiongyue had no idea what it looked like.
Hearing him mention Han Xian, Jun Chenyi raised his hands in agreement.
"Cousin Han is really good, and he is a good match for our Ning Ning."
"But he is far away in Qingzhou, and his personality is rigid and straight-forward. I am afraid that it will be easy to get married but difficult to get divorced!"
Deng Youning, who knew nothing about this person, was certain just by hearing Jun Chenyi's words that this cousin Han must also be a person with a strange personality!
You can't put all your hopes on others.
Deng Youning was very grateful for her family's help, but she also had to do something herself.
"Make preparations for both situations!"
"We must quickly find out about the Wu family's reselling of good girls and bring them down completely."
"Even if I become the heir of the Wu family, the emperor will still marry me off to someone else, but that's a story for the future."
Having died once, Deng Youning is not afraid of anything. She can shave her head and become a nun, run away with her family, or even rebel...
Her refusal to marry Wu Yanei was a small matter. She uprooted the Wu family, exposed their deeds to the public, and gave justice to the victims.
This is what Deng Youning should do most!
Let’s go check out the Qi Yuntai tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Deng Youning gave Li Qinghuan a look, indicating that she should tell everyone about the incident she had discovered recently about the Wu family raising assassins.
After hearing this, everyone's resentment towards the Wu family increased even more. This family, even including the queen and the prince, deserved to be put to death!
"More than that, cousin, do you really think that Aunt Han Guifei's death in the sea of fire was a coincidence?"
Deng Youning suddenly asked Jun Chenyi about this matter.
This one sentence made Jun Chenyi, who had a smile on his face, stop smiling.
He has been thinking about this since he was a child.
However, it has been nearly twenty-three years since this incident. How easy is it to find out the truth?
Deng Youning seemed to see what Jun Chenyi was thinking, and comforted him firmly:
"Although it was thirty-five years ago, my uncle's story can still be understood."
"Everything depends on human effort. I believe that Aunt Han and cousin, you can find out the truth about the false accusation against you."
Having said this, she clenched her hands into fists and slammed them hard on the table in front of her.
His eyes seemed to be on fire, as if he wanted to redress everyone's grievances and make the Wu family pay with blood.
This time, it's not only for herself, but also for all the souls killed by them!
She brought up these old accounts again, and the whole place fell silent. Everyone had their own thoughts in mind, and everyone looked unhappy.
