Duke Weiguo was so distressed that tears streamed down his face. He supported his daughter, trembling and unable to speak.
Deng Yiru had long lost her previous arrogance and arrogance. She stood there stupidly, tears streaming down her cheeks like beads that had broken off the string.
【Oh my god, this is too bad! 】
Only after the human wall dispersed did Xia Miaoyuan see Deng Yiru's injuries.
"You beasts! I'm going to kill all the monkeys in your Monkey Mountain!"
Duke Weiguo was driven mad by his daughter's shocking injuries, and for a moment he completely disregarded his image and went crazy.
He rushed towards Monkey Mountain like a madman, waving a wooden stick.
[Oh my god, the Duke of Wei has gone crazy! ]
"Someone come quickly and stop him!" The queen remained calm in the face of danger.
Several eunuchs carried and dragged the Duke of Wei and finally subdued him.
[Hey, what happened to our perfect day trip to the Zoo?]
Xia Miaoyuan stared blankly and sighed.
Everyone was busy, comforting Duke Weiguo and arranging people to escort Deng Yiru out of the garden to find the imperial physician for treatment.
[It makes sense to say that character determines destiny.]
[With Deng Yirou's personality, even if she were to be reborn and change her circumstances, she wouldn't be able to change her fate of inviting disaster and misfortune.]
[However, if she can reflect on herself and change herself after this accident, she may be able to live the rest of her life peacefully.]
Xia Miaoyuan muttered to himself as he recalled the ending in the book where Deng Yiru was beaten half to death and thrown into the cold palace to fend for herself.
Deng Yiru's injury made everyone lose interest. They hurried back to the palace before finishing their visit to the Zoo.
It was already the second watch of the night, and in the imperial study, Xia Zhengqi was still reviewing memorials.
"Your Majesty, Duke Weiguo is still kneeling outside and refuses to leave." Eunuch Debao reported in a low voice.
"A duke took his daughter to the Zoo and caused so much trouble! He still has the nerve to come to me and ask for justice?!"
Xia Zhengqi frowned in anger.
After dealing with over a dozen ministers at court all at once, Xia Zhengqi had a lot more official duties. Working overtime to review memorials was already exhausting enough, and then the Duke of Wei came furiously petitioning for severe punishment for the eunuch guarding the Hundred Beasts Garden and the extermination of all the monkeys in Monkey Mountain.
Xia Zhengqi sighed: "Please persuade him to go back first with kind words, and tell him that I will not sit idly by."
Eunuch Debao agreed and walked out.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here." The young eunuch at the door reported with his head lowered.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you were so busy that you didn't even have dinner." The queen's gentle voice came.
Xia Zhengqi looked up and saw that the queen was holding a food box in her hand.
"I specially prepared lotus seed and lily porridge. Your Majesty, please have a bowl while it's hot."
