Chapter 171 He Won't Let Me Go Easily
At night, one more relative or friend came to attend Deng Youning's birthday party.
A handsome man in his early twenties.
The man looked like a scholar, but his martial arts skills were quite good.
"Ningning, come and meet your cousin Han."
Seeing Deng Youning coming back, Han Qiongyue hurriedly called her over to say hello to Han Xian.
The more Deng Youning looked at this cousin Han, the more familiar he looked.
Li Tianzhuo stepped forward and said directly:
"Mr. Han, we have met before. This afternoon at the city gate, Mr. Han disguised himself as a young woman and had his bag robbed by a pickpocket. It was Ningning who helped."
When they reached the city gate, Li Tianzhuo realized that the girl they rescued was a boy, but he was too lazy to expose him.
Unexpectedly, this person is the eldest son of the Han family who is now nominally engaged to Deng Youning.
Although they were just pretending to exchange birthday cards, Li Tianzhuo had to be on guard against him.
After all, Jun Chenyi said that this person is stubborn and inflexible, and will never let go easily once he has made up his mind.
Li Tianzhuo was a little worried that he was turning his fake play with Ningning into reality.
His Ningning is the most beautiful girl in the world!
Hearing from Li Tianzhuo that Han Xian had disguised himself as a woman all the way back, Han Qiongyue felt even more sorry for him.
"Xian'er, now that you're home, we will never let you be bullied again."
"But you still cannot move around freely in this capital city, or show your true face to others."
"I'm so sorry for wronging you!"
Han Qiongyue patted the back of Han Xian's hand, her eyes full of heartache for him.
This child has been an orphan since childhood, and has followed his elder brother to Qingzhou to suffer for so many years. Now he is forced by the emperor to offer sacrifices and live in hiding...
well!
However, when she thought about it carefully, among the people who came to Ningning’s birthday party today, except for the mother and daughter from the second branch of the Han family, whose life stories and experiences were not as miserable as Han Xian’s?
Compared to Deng Ren, Deng Yan'an and Deng Youning who did not grow up with her, Han Xian didn't seem to be that miserable.
"Oh, what a sin!"
She couldn't help but sigh.
The past is past. I just hope that they can live a peaceful and smooth life from now on, and I hope that nothing will go wrong in the Duke’s Mansion again!
While the Zhenguo family was celebrating Deng Youning's birthday together, there was also a lot of commotion in Fengyi Palace.
Ever since the queen was beheaded, the palace maids who served Jun Wenshu were no longer as dedicated as before.
She couldn't move, and had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in bed.
In the past, the palace maids would wipe her body, comb her hair beautifully, and dress her in princess clothes every day.
Now that the emperor no longer came to see her, the palace maids naturally became lazy in their work.
It was common for them to steal her jewelry and food. She was counting on them to serve her anyway, and she had no one to complain to, so she could not say anything.
For example, today, the imperial kitchen sent food to Jun Wenshu, but a few palace maids stole the fish, shrimp and crab meat in the food and ate them themselves, leaving behind a few rotten vegetable leaves for Jun Wenshu.
"County Master, it's time to eat."
Her status as a princess had not yet been restored, and the young palace maids still called her County Princess. Only during the few days when the Queen was alive did they coax the Queen into calling her Princess for two or three days.
Jun Wenshu glanced at the food and stared in anger.
“That’s all you’re going to give me to eat?”
“I wouldn’t even eat it if I fed it to a dog!”
She was so angry that she wanted to stand up and slap the slave girl.
However, she had no limbs and was simply unable to do so.
"Humph, if you don't eat it, you won't even get this!"
"Don't think you are still high and mighty, Seventh Princess. Your mother killed the emperor's favorite woman and tried to destroy their son, the Ninth Prince. She has already paid the price for her evil deeds and was beheaded in public."
"And you, the princess who has committed such a heinous crime, have either the emperor or the empress dowager come to see you since you came back as a human pig?"
"You are now just a toy that the emperor has to keep. His Majesty did not directly order your execution because of the relationship between father and daughter."
"Take care of yourself!"
The palace maid forced a few mouthfuls of food into Jun Wenshu's mouth, and seeing that she really didn't want to eat it, she simply took the plate and left.
You are just a useless princess. I won’t serve you anymore!
Jun Wenshu was so angry that she exerted force on her waist and abdomen and actually urinated.
As usual, I peed on the bed.
She had urinated on this bed sheet for several days, and the palace maids had never changed it.
The overwhelming stench and fishy smell made Jun Wenshu, the once most noble princess in Dongji, unable to bear it any longer.
"Someone, help me get dressed..."
She shouted at the top of her lungs, as loud as she could, three or four times.
Until he had no more energy to shout, he slowly closed his eyes unwillingly, bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Before she completely lost consciousness, she seemed to see the queen and herself leaving here side by side.
That self is still so respectable and the most valuable!
Jun Wenshu’s death caused unrest in the entire Fengyi Palace.
Deng Xuelian, who was suffering torture in the secret room, heard the noise and realized that the queen had died long ago. No wonder she had not come to torture her for so many days.
While the maids in the secret room were out to see Jun Wenshu, Deng Xuelian found the right opportunity and sneaked out.
Since the death of the Queen, the maids have relaxed their watch over her. If they were not waiting for the Prince to return and deal with her further, they would have stopped guarding her like this a long time ago.
Therefore, she was not put in handcuffs or shackles.
Deng Xuelian is now in the late stage of pregnancy and will give birth in less than two months.
The physical discomfort did not hinder her yearning for freedom.
She was like a nimble female goat, constantly dodging the crowd and moving around the palace.
Now, even if she could leave Fengyi Palace, she could not leave the entire palace.
She thought of a good idea, taking advantage of Jun Wenshu's death!
You can wait until Jun Wenshu's body is sent out of the palace and then secretly blend into the funeral procession.
But her big belly was too obvious and too inconvenient.
According to Dongji rules, the body must be kept at home for three days after death.
During these three days, Deng Xuelian has been making plans.
Do you want this child?
If the prince knew that she had indirectly killed his grandmother, based on her understanding of Jun Wenci's ruthless and profit-seeking character, he would never let her go easily.
What's more, during the time she was imprisoned and tortured, her body had been seen naked by the men in the imperial guards.
At this time, all the maids and palace maids could testify.
The prince will never touch her again because she is so dirty.
He would even despise his eldest son because he came out of her belly, a bitch.
Even after giving birth, her life would not be smooth.
Rather than letting the child be born and followed by herself to be looked down upon, it would be better to give it a try and not have the child, so that she can leave the palace smoothly and go out into the world.
Even if she was just a commoner, she didn't want to be bound and tortured anymore, and didn't want to get close to the harem and inner chambers where people were eaten without leaving any bones!
But she is now too pregnant, how should she abort the baby?
She punched her stomach hard.
They even go so far as to fall down on purpose or roll off the rockery.
Unfortunately, none of them had any effect.
I don’t know what kind of pregnancy-preserving medicine the Queen gave her before, which made the fetus sit so steadily!
She got up from the ground in a panic and went to the river to wash her face to make herself clean for the last time.
This was the first time she washed her face in the one and a half months of torture.
Although the water in the pond was not frozen in the dead of winter, it was freezing cold and soon her fingers turned red.
But she seemed not to be in pain and actually smiled triumphantly.
She thought of aborting the child!
She stood up and slowly walked into the pool. Soon, a pool of red appeared on the surface of the pool with her as the center.
