Chapter 135: No Need for Such a Great Ceremony
Everyone looked in the direction of his sight and saw that thing was actually a string of candied haws!
"Jun Wenshu, how dare you come to Jingzhao Prefecture's prison and act wildly!"
Jun Chenyi's furious tone contained the murderous intent of wanting to cut Jun Wenshu into pieces.
If Deng Yan'an hadn't been quick enough to snatch the candied haws that he had brought for Deng Youning and threw it away, their sister would have died at the hands of this tyrannical and unruly princess!
Just now, they came to deliver food to Deng Youning and gave Feng Fuyin a few instructions. They came too late, and the lawless Jun Wenshu took advantage of the opportunity and came to the prison to lynch Deng Youning.
"Cousin, cousin——"
Deng Youning was deeply moved to see that his two brothers arrived so timely.
When her eyes swept over the string of candied haws on the ground, her eyes became slightly red, her nose felt sore, and crystal tears fell one by one without warning.
Seeing her crying, Deng Yan'an dodged the knife on the jailer's waist, stepped forward quickly, cut off the chains that tied Deng Youning, put her down, and held her in his arms.
"Ningning, what did she do to you?"
Jun Chenyi also hurried over and asked in detail.
Seeing that Deng Youning's nails were still bleeding, he, who had grown up in the deep palace, understood everything instantly.
"Jun Wenshu, you vicious women, this kind of vile palace punishment was abolished when my grandfather was in power. How dare you still use it, and use it on Princess Youning?"
"Prefect Feng, is this what you repeatedly assured us that everything is fine?"
"Do you want me to tie you up here and let the Seventh Princess prick you?"
Jun Chenyi yelled at the two of them indiscriminately, with a chilling coldness in his eyes.
Feng Fuyin knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, "Your Majesty, I know nothing. I don't know when the Seventh Princess came to the prison. These idle people didn't report it!"
He glared at the jailers and took out his anger on them:
"The Seventh Princess is making such a fuss, and you guys don't stop her. Do you two want to rebel?"
The jailers felt even more wronged and knelt down to plead guilty.
"My Lord, I am wronged!"
"We were threatened by the Seventh Princess. She forbade us to report to Prefect Feng, and even more so to help Princess Youning. Otherwise, she would kill my entire family and make us obliterate this world."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Princess Youning. She also knows my helplessness."
Deng Youning nodded with certainty. Jun Wenshu had indeed threatened and restrained these jailers.
"Prefect Feng, please record this matter word for word, and I will go to the palace and report it to my father."
"I want to see if Jingzhao Prefecture, under the watchful eyes of my father, can tolerate a princess like Jun Wenshu running wild?!"
Jun Chenyi was so angry that he even had trouble breathing.
Looking at the wound on Deng Youning's finger again, his eyes were full of heartache, and he wished he could be injured instead of her.
Deng Yan'an had the same look in his eyes.
He took out a silk handkerchief he carried with him and gave Deng Youning a simple bandage.
Seeing how careful they were, Deng Youning's eyes flashed.
"Brothers, there's no need to be so nervous. It's just a minor injury and will heal in a short while."
She gave them both a smile as sweet as she could.
Deng Yanan acted like an elder and accused her, "Is this what you mean by everything is fine and you can make your own decision?"
Fortunately, they came and arrived at the most critical moment, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Deng Youning smiled guiltily and said nothing.
"Prefect Feng, after something like this happens, Ning Ning cannot continue to stay in your Jingzhao Prefecture."
Although Deng Yan'an was not as domineering as Jun Chenyi, his gentle yet authoritative tone was just right for Feng Fuyin to obey.
"Yes, Grand Secretary, don't worry. I will draft a memorial right away and allow the county lady to return home and be summoned at any time." Prefect Feng bowed.
Jun Chenyi nodded to Deng Yanan, "Then you take Ningning back first, and leave this to me. Don't worry, I will never let our sister suffer in vain!"
Deng Yan'an held Deng Youning's elbow and was about to leave when Jun Wenshu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly caught up with them.
She tried to hold Deng Youning, but was blocked by Deng Yan'an, and her body leaned forward and fell flat on her face.
"Seventh Princess, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony!"
Deng Yanan didn't forget to take advantage of her verbally.
"No, Deng Youning, you can't leave!"
"Remove my curse before you leave. I don't want to be connected to your pain for the rest of my life!"
"I have already made a mistake by beating you. I will be punished by my father. Please let me go and stop torturing me."
Jun Wenshu pulled Deng Youning's skirt and begged desperately.
She was clearly the perpetrator, but now she acted like a victim and even cried for help from Deng Youning.
Hearing her talk about something related to pain, Jun Chenyi and Deng Yan'an suddenly understood and looked at Deng Youning in surprise.
Jun Chenyi grinned and chuckled. He knew that Ningning would never let him suffer any loss!
Deng Yan'an also understood. No wonder he saw Jun Wenshu's face looked so bad when he first came in. He thought that the Seventh Princess did not forget to torture Ningning even when she was sick, but he did not expect that there would be such an exciting thing.
He really regretted coming so late.
Deng Youning met the questioning looks of his two brothers with a guilty conscience and admitted that he had indeed poisoned Jun Wenshu.
"No one knew what I did except her."
Deng Youning walked to Jun Wenshu and placed his finger on her right ear, and the little bug crawled out by itself.
Soon, it followed her hand and hid in her sleeve.
Even Deng Yan'an, who was closest to her, couldn't see anything clearly.
Didn’t Jun Wenshu say before that her acupuncture would not leave any evidence of the crime?
The wounds caused by acupuncture are indeed subtle and hidden, but they are far inferior to Deng Youning's method of leaving no visible wounds at all.
"Deng Youning, as long as Jun Wenshu is still alive, I will avenge you and me sooner or later!"
As soon as the Gu was removed, Jun Wenshu started to speak harshly to Deng Youning, as if nothing could threaten her anymore.
Without waiting for Deng Youning to retort, Deng Yan'an stepped forward and stared into Jun Wenshu's eyes with a chilling look.
"With us here, you won't have the chance to get close to her again!"
When he raised his eyebrows and chuckled, he looked like a smiling tiger who could kill people with just a smile.
We shouldn't have kept her after the Wanshou Festival!
"Ningning, let's go!"
Deng Yan'an pulled Deng Youning out of the Jingzhao Prefecture prison. On the way back to the Zhenguo Mansion, he also compared statements with Deng Youning to avoid facing Han Qiongyue's questioning after returning, not to mention making her worry.
Two hours later, at the Queen's residence.
"Seventh Princess, you are gentle and kind, you have no moral integrity, you are good at using private punishment, you are hindering public affairs, and you are corrupting the royal family. Now you have been demoted two levels, becoming a county lady, and you have moved to Lin'an County on the outskirts of the city. You should be aware of your mistakes!"
Eunuch Fu came to issue the order with the imperial edict just written by the emperor.
