Chapter 167 He has lived long enough, it is time to set off
These days, Deng Youning has been listing the evidence of the Queen's crimes. She picked a good day and presented all the evidence and witnesses to the Emperor.
"Queen, what else do you have to say?"
After reviewing the evidence and hearing the testimonies of Miss Qi and Concubine Li, the Emperor was furious at the Queen's behavior.
Perhaps it was because the charcoal fire in the room was too hot or because he was angry, but Deng Youning saw that the emperor's temples were sweating.
The emperor seemed to be scolding the queen, but he was actually glaring at Deng Youning with a vague look.
This damn girl is really capable!
If she could find out who set the fire, she would definitely know that Concubine Han had been poisoned before she was burned to death.
"To prevent her from continuing to investigate and discovering something, we can put all the blame on the Queen and let her take the blame!"
The emperor thought silently in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you must not believe their one-sided words!"
"This Princess Youning has always been at odds with me and my Wu family. Maybe Miss Qi and Concubine Li were bribed by her on purpose to frame me."
Naturally, the queen would not admit it easily and kept crying and begging.
"Shut up!"
"The people who killed the owner of Jinji Lantern Shop in Changnan Town and the people who massacred the village a few days ago were all assassins raised by your Wu family."
"You still dare to say that Concubine Han's death and Lao Jiu's molestation of the concubines have nothing to do with you?"
"Empress, oh Queen, you are already the Queen, what else do you want? Why can't you tolerate Yi'er? If I hadn't missed her for ten years, do you think you would be the Queen?"
Of course the emperor knew that the queen was innocent, but she had to bear these charges!
"His Majesty……"
The queen still wanted to beg for mercy.
The emperor directly ordered the queen to be dragged out and beheaded, so that she could pay for Concubine Han's life.
Deng Youning watched the whole process from the side.
She always felt that things were going too smoothly, so smoothly that the emperor had no doubts at all.
It felt like the emperor had wanted to execute the queen for a long time and was just looking for an opportunity.
Today, I gave him this opportunity.
“Ahem…”
"You Ning, you are quite capable. Your skills in solving cases are worthy of being an official in the Dali Temple!"
The emperor seemed very tired and had a faint cough.
Deng Youning was a little curious. Was he... sick, or was he poisoned again?
But Deng Youning did not make it public.
This time, she didn't want to detoxify or cure the emperor.
This is the real murderer who killed Aunt Han!
He has lived long enough, it's time to step down and make way!
"I just want to seek justice for my aunt and cousin."
"Now that the truth has been revealed, I hope Your Majesty will stop hating my cousin. He really wants to get closer to his father and grandmother."
Deng Youning has paved the way for Jun Chenyi to please the emperor.
Now that the queen's crimes have been exposed and she has been executed, Jun Wenci's status in the emperor's heart has naturally weakened a lot.
If Jun Chenyi can take this opportunity to win the hearts of the emperor and the empress dowager, then the matter of seizing the throne will be more legitimate.
After hearing her words, the emperor also reflected on himself.
I feel really sorry for Laojiu after all these years.
He was the only thought Yi'er left for me, yet I drove him to the northern border for eight years!
Han Shaoyi was unfair to me back then, but Yier was indeed innocent.
But why did Yier lie to herself back then?
It was obvious that she and Qin Sanlang already had an illegitimate child!
For so many years, he has been looking for the whereabouts of that evil creature, but unfortunately he has found nothing.
Perhaps, I can reveal this news to Deng Youning and the others.
After finding the evil creature with their help, I will kill him myself!
"Your aunt was married to Qin Sanlang for three to five years but had no children. Do you think they really don't have any children?"
"I heard that before the Qin family was confiscated, she was pregnant with a posthumous child. I guess only your grandmother and General Han know the truth about this matter."
"Youning, go home and help me ask the old lady about the whereabouts of that child. After all, he is Yi'er's flesh and blood, and I am his stepfather!"
The emperor smiled lovingly, playing the role of a loving father to perfection.
Deng Youning laughed along with them, but with a forced smile.
Did the emperor think she was stupid?
If he really finds the Qin family's child, will he still have a chance to survive?
"Since my aunt still has descendants alive, You Ning will do her best to find them and will never let the bloodline of my Han family be lost in the world."
Deng Youning bowed to the emperor and agreed to his request on the surface.
She also wanted to find out the whereabouts of her cousin.
She now has some suspicion that the little boy who left the rattle behind might be Aunt Han's biological son.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have my grandmother protecting me all the way!
After leaving the palace, Deng Youning called Yinhuan, the secret guard of Wanshe Valley.
He has been bringing people to keep an eye on his younger cousin Han Shaoxi during this period of time. Unfortunately, Han Shaoxi was acting normal and did not do anything special.
Deng Youning was still worried and asked them to keep a close eye on them.
A few days later, news came from the capital that the mistress of the Dai family and the Dai Jiedushi and his wife suddenly suffered from hysteria and their minds were not clear. Even the resignation letter was submitted by Dai Dalang on behalf of his father.
Few people knew that the person who poisoned the couple was Concubine Li!
Dai Dalang divorced Aunt Dai on behalf of his father. Deng Youning helped Lipin place the old lady in a box not far from Deng's house. Lipin was extremely grateful to her.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Jun Wenying’s birthday party.
Early in the morning, Deng Youning and Deng Yan'an went out one after another.
The Ninth Prince's Mansion was exceptionally lively today. People from all walks of life came to celebrate Jun Wen's birthday for the sake of Jun Chenyi and the Deng and Han families.
It is not only a birthday, but also a coming-of-age ceremony.
Deng Youning went to the dock before coming. The gift she prepared for Jun Wenying just arrived today.
When she finally arrived, all the guests had already arrived.
Han Qiongyue and the Queen Mother are old and don't want to go to crowded places, so the ceremony was attended but the guests were not.
The main guest that Jun Wen welcomed, who was also the one who came of age, was Shi from the second branch of the Han family.
Jun Chenyi and the others had already reserved a seat for Deng Youning, but before she could sit down, she was invited by a maid to Jun Wenying's boudoir.
Today, Jun Wenying must dress up this little girl nicely, so Li Qinghuan brought the sisters from Wuyinglou to help her with makeup.
Deng Youning was not interested in these, but unexpectedly, they also wanted to draw a picture for themselves.
They forcibly trimmed her eyebrows and applied rouge and powder on her already fair and rosy skin.
She even changed her clothes and jewelry into more luxurious ones, looking more glamorous than Jun Wenying, the protagonist of today.
"Sister Huan'er, did you prepare this for me?"
"Why are you suddenly giving me new clothes too?"
Deng Youning asked in confusion.
But I have to admit that she looks even more graceful in this outfit.
It can be said that in the entire Dongji, with her current appearance, she is enough to rank in the top ten.
If we only talk about the capital city, it is absolutely the most beautiful city in the world!
"This dress was specially made for you."
"Take a closer look at the workmanship of these jewels. Do you think they are not delicate enough?"
Upon hearing this, Deng Youning took off the pearl hairpin on her head and examined it carefully. It was indeed very rough.
"That's right, these were all made for you by that person himself!"
Li Qinghuan emphasized with a heavier tone.
Jun Wenying also followed and gave Deng Youning a mysterious smile.
Deng Youning was a little confused by them, but when she thought about it carefully, the person who could tailor-make clothes for her and make jewelry for her by hand could it be... Ah Zhuo?
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Tianzhuo's figure appeared outside Xiaoxuan's window.
Deng Youning pushed open the window, and Li Tianzhuo, wearing a red silk embroidered robe, was standing straight outside the window.
The plum blossoms outside the window are in full bloom, and the young man is as beautiful as a banished immortal.
