Chapter 66: Monkeys

Deng Yirou glared at the maid fiercely: "Whose maid are you?! Who do you listen to?"

The maid murmured: "I listen to the young lady." As

the maid said this, she put down the food box and pretended to open it.

"Young lady Deng, are you going to eat here? No." Xiao Shengzi was smart and immediately realized that Deng Yirou was going to make trouble.

"Why not? I'm just eating two snacks. I won't attract monkeys." Deng Yirou said this and had already opened the lid of the food box.

The Empress and Consort Shu frowned at this. The Empress suppressed her anger and said, "Yirou, we'll pass the Monkey Mountain soon. Be patient for a while."

"My Queen, I'm really hungry." Deng Yirou said, and actually picked up a snack and started eating.

"I'll just have two snacks."

[Ah, this stupid and stubborn Deng Yirou, why doesn't she know what's good for her! ]

Xia Miaoyuan glared at Deng Yirou fiercely.

[It's written in the book that the monkeys in the Hundred Beasts Garden are the most abominable. Later, a ferocious old monkey even robbed a young man in the Marquis's Mansion. ]

[The young man, who was only five years old, became a eunuch on the spot. ]

[The emperor was furious and ordered the Monkey Mountain to be leveled. 】

The prince was startled when he heard his sister's voice, and immediately stepped forward to stop her: "Miss Deng, please be patient for a while, safety is more important."

The prince said, reaching out to cover the lid of the food box.

At this moment, a monkey came out from nowhere and climbed to Deng Yirou's feet.

Everyone was startled.

The monkey grabbed the hem of Deng Yirou's skirt and pretended to climb up along the skirt.

"Ah, where did this beast come from! Get down! Get down!" Deng Yirou's tone was filled with anger.

"Don't move, give it the snack in your hand." The prince clenched his fist nervously.

"Rou'er, don't panic, don't act rashly!" Duke Wei shouted in panic.

Xiao Shengzi and several eunuchs guarding the garden came over with wooden sticks in their hands.

At this moment, a fatter monkey also came over, staring at Deng Yirou.

Although there were many more people than monkeys, the two monkeys didn't seem to be afraid at all, and they swaggered around as if this was their territory.

"Go away, you beast!" Deng Yirou angrily swung her skirt, trying to throw the monkey off, but the monkey ignored her and jumped onto her back.

"Rou'er, don't move!" Duke Wei brought Jolt Yin'er.

"Look over there, there are so many monkeys!" The second prince suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned to look at the monkey mountain, and saw seven or eight monkeys of all sizes, slowly crawling towards them.

"Protect the two queens! Protect the fifth prince and the little princess!" The prince shouted and picked up a branch from the roadside, ready for the worst.

More than a dozen eunuchs responded and surrounded the queen, concubine, fifth prince and Xia Miaoyuan.

"Here, here! Get out of here!" Deng Yirou finally started to get scared and hurriedly handed the snack in her hand to the monkey on her body, but the monkey took it and took a bite, then threw it away with disdain. "

I gave it all to you, but you still won't get out! Ah...ah..."

The monkey lay on Deng Yirou's back, turned around, and grabbed the jade pendant and sachet on her waist with its two front paws.

The fat monkey had already come to the food box at this moment, threw the lid aside as if no one was around, and started rummaging in the food box.

"Ah... Get out of here! Don't touch my things!"

The skinny monkey grabbed the jade pendant on her waist wantonly.

Deng Yirou shouted in panic! He reached out to grab the jade pendant.

The monkey seemed angry and raised his claws to grab Deng Yirou's arm.

"Oh! You beasts dare to touch me! I will kill you all!"

Deng Yirou was used to being domineering in the Duke's Mansion. She had never been so angry. In an instant, anger overwhelmed fear.

She reached out and grabbed the monkey's forearm, pulling it down with all her strength, and at the same time, her back shook deliberately.

This action completely angered the monkey.

The monkey turned around and climbed onto her head, grabbing her hair with two claws.

Several eunuchs guarding the garden panicked and were at a loss. They raised their sticks and pretended to hit the monkey, but the sticks took a long time to fall. They were afraid of angering the monkey and hurting people by mistake.

At this time, the fat monkey that was rummaging through the food box had lost interest in the food box. It raised its head and scanned the crowd, as if looking for a new target.

"What are you waiting for? Get it down!" Duke Wei was so anxious that his face turned pale.

The prince stepped forward and stretched out a branch to pick the monkey down, but the monkey was so naughty that it turned around and bared its teeth at the prince.

At this time, Duke Wei couldn't stand it any longer. He snatched a wooden stick from the eunuch, scurried up, and hit the monkey on Deng Yirou.

The monkey screamed in pain, stretched out its two sharp claws in revenge, and grabbed Deng Yirou's head fiercely.

Then it jumped down and ran away.

"Ah!" Deng Yirou screamed in pain, and blood immediately flowed from her head.

Concubine Shu was so scared that she covered her face with a handkerchief.

Several eunuchs guarding the garden took the opportunity to swing wooden sticks at the monkeys, and drove the fat monkey and seven or eight monkeys on the mountain back into the mountain.

[What's wrong, what's wrong? Let me see! ]

Xia Miaoyuan was blocked by a wall and shouted in protest.

After everything calmed down, everyone checked Deng Yirou's injuries and found that a piece of her scalp was pulled off by the monkey, a large part of her hair was pulled out, it was horrible to look at, and there was a deep scratch on her arm.

Duke Wei was so distressed that tears flowed down his face. He supported his daughter, trembling and unable to speak.

Deng Yirou had long lost her arrogance and arrogance just now. She stood there stupidly, tears falling down her cheeks like beads with broken strings.

[Oh my God, this injury is too bad! ]

After the human wall dispersed, Xia Miaoyuan finally saw Deng Yirou's injuries.

"You beasts! I will kill all the monkeys in your Monkey Mountain!"

Duke Wei was driven mad by his daughter's shocking injuries, and in an instant he went crazy without caring about his image at all.

He rushed towards the Monkey Mountain like a madman, swinging a wooden stick.

[Oh my God, Duke Wei is crazy!]

"Come quickly, stop him!" The queen remained calm in the face of danger.

Several eunuchs finally subdued Duke Wei by carrying and dragging him.

[Oh, a one-day trip to the Hundred Beasts Park turned out like this.]

Xia Miaoyuan stared blankly and sighed.

Everyone was busy, trying to comfort Duke Wei and arranging for people to escort Deng Yirou out of the garden and find a doctor for treatment.

[It makes sense that character determines destiny.]

[With Deng Yirou's personality, even if she were to be reborn and change her circumstances, she would not be able to change her fate of inviting disasters.]

[However, if she could reflect on herself and change herself after this accident, she might be able to live the rest of her life in peace.]

Xia Miaoyuan muttered to herself as she recalled the ending in the book where Deng Yirou was beaten half to death and thrown into the cold palace to fend for herself.

Deng Yirou's injury made everyone lose interest, and they hurried back to the palace before they finished touring the Garden of Beasts.

It was already the second watch of the night, and Xia Zhengqi was still reviewing memorials in the study.

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei is still kneeling outside and refuses to leave." Eunuch Debao reported in a low voice.

"A duke took his daughter to the Hundred Beasts Park and caused so many troubles! He still has the nerve to come to me to seek justice?!"

Xia Zhengqi was so angry that he twisted his eyebrows.

After dealing with more than a dozen ministers in the court at one time, Xia Zhengqi had a lot more official business. It was already annoying enough to work overtime to review memorials all day, but Duke Wei came to petition angrily, demanding severe punishment for the eunuch guarding the Hundred Beasts Park and killing 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 left.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is here." The eunuch at the door reported with his head down.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you were so busy that you didn't even have dinner." The gentle voice of the Empress came.

Xia Zhengqi raised his eyes and saw that the Empress was holding a food box in her hand.

"I specially made lotus seed and lily porridge, Your Majesty, please have a bowl while it's hot."
