Chapter 160 Something Happened to General Feng
Yongshou Palace.
The Queen Mother already knew what had happened in the capital in the past few days.
The Queen deliberately made trouble forcing her to take action.
"Queen Mother, the two young ladies are here."
The nanny led Deng Youning and the others into the house.
The capital city was very cold in winter. The empress dowager was old, so the house was filled with charcoal fires to keep it warm.
After the big fight with the Queen in the garden just now, Deng Youning felt really cold.
"Good boy, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
The Queen Mother held Deng Youning's hand lovingly, her eyes full of pity for her.
Love the person and love the dog in her. This is her best friend's granddaughter, so she must love her too.
"Mammy arrived just in time. The Queen didn't do anything to You Ning."
"I would also like to thank the Queen Mother for helping me out."
Deng Youning knelt down politely.
The Queen Mother felt that her little hand was cold, so she asked someone to add more charcoal.
Deng Youning was also afraid that the Queen would harm the Queen Mother, so she gave her a lot of poison-eliminating pills and told her to take one whenever she felt unwell. Even if she was not poisoned, there would be no harm in taking it.
Jun Wenying, the granddaughter standing nearby, looked at the scene and felt that her presence was unnecessary.
She had never expected the Royal Grandmother to treat her like a normal grandmother and granddaughter.
But today, seeing that she was so kind to Deng Youning, who had no blood relationship with her, her heart was really hurt.
A sense of loss gradually welled up in her eyes, but the Queen Mother did not really not see it.
If he really wanted to abandon her, he would not have asked the nanny to bring her along.
"Little Twelve, these days, you are the one who is in charge of the cooking and supervision of the meals for each palace, right?"
"It tastes really good, much better than those imperial chefs."
"I heard that I was seriously ill not long ago, and it was you who bled me as a medicine. Is that true?"
Deng Youning was also a little surprised when the Queen Mother said this.
The little princess is quite filial.
Jun Wenying knelt on the ground and clasped his hands, as if asking for forgiveness.
"My granddaughter just heard from the imperial physician that if human blood is used as medicine, the Royal Grandmother's illness will heal faster."
"Ying'er has no other intentions. I just hope that the Royal Grandmother can suffer less from the pain."
Her little heart kept beating.
In her little head, she was wondering whether the Queen Mother would punish her for this.
But she really didn't mean any harm.
That day in the imperial kitchen, I heard from the palace maid who delivered meals to Yongshou Palace that the Empress Dowager vomited whenever she ate and was so sick that she couldn't eat anything every day.
She was thinking at the time that if she couldn't eat, she might as well die.
"Grandmother, there's a saying that goes, if you don't eat meat for three days, you'll see stars in your eyes."
"My granddaughter hopes that you will be able to eat heartily and live a long life!"
When he thought of food, Jun Wenying forgot his fear and started talking to himself.
Both the Queen Mother and Deng Youning were amused by her.
"That sentence means not eating green food for three days!" Deng Youning corrected.
Jun Wenying even winked at her mischievously.
What’s so delicious about vegetables? She wants to eat meat for every meal!
After all, only when you are full will you have the strength to fight against the Queen and other evil people.
"You are thoughtful girl."
"Come."
The Queen Mother finally waved her hand and called Jun Wen to her side.
She asked the nanny to bring her a phoenix hairpin.
It’s a pair with the one I gave to Deng Youning before.
This is just the left side.
"This is my wedding dowry. I've already given one to Ningning. This one is for you."
She had a total of seventeen or eighteen descendants, big and small, but only the Twelve Little One, born to this palace maid and whom she had rarely seen since she was a child, was the most filial.
There was still a crown left from her dowry, which she intended to leave as the legal wife of the man who would inherit the throne.
Will it be the Crown Prince Jun Wenci, or the Ninth Prince Jun Chenyi who came later to take the throne?
After chatting with the Empress Dowager for a while, the two left Yongshou Palace around 4 p.m.
Jun Wen welcomed and saw Deng Youning off from the palace.
Walking in the palace, Jun Wenying pouted and asked in a bad mood: "Ningning, what should I do to be as loved as you?"
Deng Youning was suddenly stumped by the question: ???
Seeing that she was a little confused, Jun Wenying took the initiative to explain:
"The Imperial Grandmother is obviously my biological grandmother, but she treats you much better than she treats me!"
"I have only seen her a limited number of times since I was a child."
"My father doesn't like me, and neither does my grandmother. There are only a few people in this world who are related to me by blood..."
"Oh, that's not right, Brother Nine is very good to me!"
Suddenly, thinking of Jun Chenyi, she calmed herself down again.
To go from unhappy to happy, all you need is Jun Chenyi.
Deng Youning, relying on his height being taller than her, touched her head as if she were her elder.
"Who said the Queen Mother doesn't like you?"
"She gave you the left hairpin, but gave me the right hairpin. Since ancient times, the left is respected and the right is humble, and there is a difference between relatives and strangers."
In order to make her happy and not make her jealous, Deng Youning had to explain to her word by word.
After hearing this, Jun Wenying smiled brightly again.
She is also a child loved by her grandmother!
"Ningning, the seventh day of next month will be my fifteenth birthday, and also my coming-of-age ceremony."
"My Ninth Brother is going to give me a big party at the Ninth Prince's Mansion. You must come. Don't wait for me to go to the Zhenguo Mansion and kidnap you."
Fearing that she would not come, Jun Wenying threatened her in advance.
When Deng Youning heard that she was going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, she was in a daze.
Although she lived two lives, she was still in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes when she reached the age of 15.
Not to mention her coming-of-age ceremony, she hadn't even celebrated a birthday in her two lifetimes.
During the two years in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the previous life, Deng Zheng, Gu and others naturally would not remember their birthdays. Ever since their grandmother was poisoned by Deng Xuelian, she has been in poor health and has become forgetful.
It's ridiculous that no one remembers her birthday!
The twelfth lunar month is coming soon. Will anyone celebrate her birthday in this life?
She didn't dare to desire or ask for anything, for fear of being further disappointed.
It gets dark early in winter, and by the time the two sisters reached the palace gate, the sun had already set.
Ying Shi and Xiu Ming arrived outside the palace gate at some point and were now anxiously waiting for Deng Youning.
Seeing Deng Youning coming out, the two of them hurried forward.
"County Princess, it's bad, something happened with General Feng!" Xiu Ming reported in a low voice.
Just half an hour ago, the secret guard that Jun Chenyi left with General Feng came back with his last breath to report that Wu Yanei had led his men into the village, insisting that they were harboring Nanxin's enemy troops and that they should be executed first and reported later. Anyone they saw would be killed, regardless of whether they were old or young.
Fortunately, Li Tianzhuo later sent people to protect General Feng, otherwise, before Jun Chenyi's secret guard came back to notify them, all the people in the village would have been slaughtered!
"County Lady, our Lord and the Ninth Prince have already gone there, and we specially asked our subordinates to come and find you."
Xiu Ming wished he could pull Deng Youning and teleport over there.
Deng Youning knew the situation was serious. Although he was worried and anxious about the situation over there, he was still able to keep a clear head and remain calm.
"Ying'er, you don't know martial arts, so there's no need for you to go. Go back to the palace."
"I don't know how many people Wu Yanei brought with him. I'm afraid my cousin's secret guards and silver dragon guards are not enough."
"Yingshi, go and ask your uncle to borrow some soldiers and ask the Deng family army to come over."
"Also, remember to keep this a secret from grandma, so as not to make her worry."
As they were talking, Deng Youning and Xiu Ming had already mounted their horses.
Before he could finish his words, the two men rode their horses and disappeared in an instant.
The uneasiness in his heart and the worry about General Feng and his men made Deng Youning ride his horse at full speed regardless of everything.
He was more anxious than when he and Deng Yan'an went to Shengzhou to surround Jun Wenci.
It even crashed into several vendors' stalls.
In order to prevent the news of Princess Youning riding a horse in the street from spreading, she almost threw money on both sides as she walked, and asked the people to make way for her in the middle.
