Chapter 62: How Immoral the Queen Is
The broken stones were scattered around.
In order to avoid being hit by the stones, everyone hid far away.
Deng Youning's ears suddenly became much quieter.
Jun Wenshu and the Deng family were all terrified.
It was the palace maid beside her who reacted quickly and called the guards.
"The Queen Mother put this hairpin on me just now. If anyone still doesn't believe me, you can go ask the Queen Mother and my grandmother, Old Madam Han."
Deng Youning explained the truth.
Everyone was shocked again.
Jun Wenshu was almost crazy and wanted to go forward and pick off Deng Youning's phoenix hairpin.
"She is my grandmother, why should I give you the phoenix hairpin?"
"This should be mine, give it back to me!"
She completely disregarded her image as a princess and pounced on Deng Youning.
Deng Youning just slightly turned sideways, and Jun Wenshu directly bumped into the pillar beside her.
The pain made her see stars.
"What the hell are you all doing?"
"Why are the men here too?"
The scene of Jun Wenshu bumping into the pillar was seen clearly by the queen who happened to arrive.
When she came in, she didn't see many people, and she heard a lot of noise, so she walked over.
Unexpectedly, I saw this scene before my eyes.
Everyone present is of noble status. How can it be allowed to act so recklessly?
"Greetings to the Queen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
Everyone knelt down and saluted the queen.
"Everyone, get up! Can anyone tell me what happened?!"
The queen was almost mad.
Fortunately, it was not the emperor who saw this scene, otherwise, if Shu'er acted like this, no one would be able to save her.
"Your Majesty, let me speak."
An octogenarian was helped forward by Yan An.
Master Su is also the most respected person present. He will explain the truth without exaggerating or showing partiality.
When the Queen heard that Jun Wenshu had bumped into the pillar and it was all Deng Youning's fault, she looked at Deng Youning with anger in her eyes.
"The county princess is so powerful, she is favored by the emperor and the empress dowager, and she even ignores my daughter!"
Seeing the bump on Jun Wenshu's head, the Queen was so angry that she wanted to beat Deng Youning as well.
Deng Youning is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Your Majesty, it was the Seventh Princess who wrongly accused the Twelfth Princess and I of stealing things first."
"I think there is nothing wrong with me proving my innocence..."
Before she could finish her words, the queen raised her hand and slapped her.
This time Deng Youning did not dodge, but took the attack head-on.
It's not because she is afraid of the queen.
Instead, she wanted the emperor, the empress dowager, and everyone who came to celebrate the emperor's birthday to see how immoral Queen Dongji was!
Deng Youning deliberately let herself be knocked to the ground, bit her tongue, and pretended that blood was coming out of the corner of her mouth.
Her already pale skin was covered with bright fingerprints.
This slap really shocked everyone present.
The queen, who is the mother of the country, can't even tolerate a little girl who wants to prove her innocence!
Seeing Deng Youning being beaten, Yan An clenched the Buddhist beads in his hand, with anger on his face.
Just as he was about to step forward to check on Deng Youning's injuries, Jun Chenyi got there first.
Jun Chenyi rushed forward with a quick step, pushing through the crowd, even using his lightness skills that he had hidden for more than twenty years.
"Is Ningning okay?"
Jun Chenyi and Jun Wenying helped Deng Youning up together.
Seeing Jun Chenyi coming, Jun Wenying sniffed and started crying again.
"Brother Jiu, you are finally back. They all bullied me and Ningning."
She was like a child who had finally waited until an elder came to her to complain.
They are still foolishly hoping that Jun Chenyi will stand up for them.
Just like when we were kids.
The ninth prince whose mother died early and who was not favored, and the twelfth princess who was bullied by everyone and animals and not even recognized by the emperor.
In the more than ten years that Jun Wenying has lived, the only people who have been good to her are Jun Chenyi and today's Deng Youning.
The job of helping out in the imperial kitchen was also found for her by Jun Chenyi.
At least she won't be hungry.
But she didn't know that the Ninth Prince's current abilities were also limited.
To go against the Queen and the Crown Prince is like throwing an egg against a rock.
Deng Youning pulled Jun Chenyi away worriedly and scolded him, "Why did you come here? This is my own business, I can handle it myself!"
That's it. The more she cares about someone, the more she fears that the other person is related to her.
The queen looked at Deng Youning's appearance at this moment and realized that she had lost her composure and had been too harsh.
She changed the subject to Jun Chenyi, "Yier is back, why don't you come to see your mother?"
I haven't seen this kid for eight years, and he's still as annoying as ever.
The emperor had few children, and among the princes, only he and his son were the most handsome.
At the same time, the only person who can compete with her son for the throne is the person in front of her!
"Your son greets the Queen."
"I have been through a long journey and unfortunately caught a cold. I don't want to infect Your Majesty with the disease, so I didn't go to pay my respects. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."
Jun Chenyi bowed respectfully.
Accompanying the Queen to act out a play of loving mother and filial piety.
"Are you feeling better today?" the queen asked with concern.
Jun Chenyi: "Thank you for your concern, my lady. I am much better now."
He glanced at Deng Youning with heartache and continued to talk to the Queen:
"Princess Youning is also anxious to prove her innocence. If there is any rudeness, I hope Your Majesty will bear with me."
"She called me cousin, so I must protect her today."
Jun Chenyi had long been fed up with this kind of life of stealth and dependence.
It would be better to just tear each other apart and start a war openly.
Anyone could hear the tension in his words.
The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
When great gods fight, lesser gods are afraid of being implicated.
The people from the Deng family standing beside them didn't even dare to breathe.
Deng Zheng had tears in his eyes, and his expression seemed as if after today, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion would no longer exist.
Gu was still angry, her face turned pale with anger, as if she would be angry to death in the next second.
Deng Xuelian grasped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands and stared at Deng Youning with resentment. She had fallen out with the queen, so how could she be the queen's daughter-in-law in the future?
Deng Yi in the crowd wished he could replace the queen, and just now he slapped Deng Youning.
He Xiangzhe, who had just walked over here, seemed to be watching a good show as well.
None of them hoped that Deng Youning would get better.
She even wanted the Queen to beat her to death for being such a nuisance.
This is especially true for He Xiangzhe.
Just now, Deng Xuelian lied to him that Gu was looking for him. He went to see Gu, but Gu took the opportunity to match him with Deng Youning and told him that Deng Xuelian had secretly married the prince, which made him even more angry.
Why were the Deng family and Deng Xuelian so cruel to him?
Because of love turning into hate, he now wishes that something bad would happen to the entire Zhenguo Mansion so that he could add insult to injury.
Even if he had to use despicable means, he was determined to marry Deng Xuelian!
However, in the blink of an eye, some people present were planning which side they should side with to have a better chance of winning if the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince fought for the throne.
Yan An's eyes were always on Deng Youning.
This little girl is very interesting, and he doesn't want anything to happen to her.
I can only take a gamble!
"Ninth Prince is joking."
Laughter broke the silent atmosphere.
He walked slowly out of the crowd.
"Your Highness." He bowed slightly. "All the conflicts here today are nothing more than the result of the Twelfth Princess stealing the Seventh Princess' hairpin. I know where the hairpin is."
