Chapter 108: Chapter 108

Emperor Yongning asked with interest.

"Yes!" The Empress thought that since Emperor Yongning raised the question, he intended to support her, and she was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, I knew you care about me in your heart."

Even though they had quarreled before and she had been confined, she was still his only legitimate wife, different from those other women.

Didn’t he just lock her up for a while before coming to see her personally?

She thought it wouldn’t be long before she could leave.

The more the Empress thought about it, the happier she became.

However, Emperor Yongning chuckled twice coldly and waved to Jun Ning, who had been staring at Jun Yu, wishing she could think him into a flower, "Yi Yi, come here."

Jun Ning pouted, cast a final glance at Jun Yu, sighed, and turned back to Emperor Yongning’s side.

She looked at Emperor Yongning puzzled. She was busy questioning her brother, so why did he suddenly call her over? Could it be that her cheap father really wanted her to apologize to that wicked Empress?

The Empress was faking it!

She would not apologize.

Jun Ning openly looked at the Empress with a provocative gaze, her stubborn eyes screaming, "I will not apologize, Empress, don’t even think about it."

The Empress was not to be outdone, looking back at Jun Ning, thinking, "There are some things that aren’t up to you. Whether you apologize to me or not is up to His Majesty. And His Majesty has always disliked people without discipline. Even if you are Princess Anle, so what? His Majesty is very strict with his offspring, he will not indulge you."

The Empress was certain that Jun Ning would have to apologize to her.

Whether Emperor Yongning truly didn’t see it or pretended not to see it was unknown, but he just looked calmly at Jun Ning. Seeing the little girl’s anger towards him, he smiled, picked her up, and let her sit on his lap. His big hand carefully supported her waist, preventing her from falling.

Under the Empress’s furious glare, he said, "Empress, since you mentioned the ’Three Character Classic’ today, let’s talk about the stories in it."

Emperor Yongning was thoughtful, "When I was as old as Seventeen, I was also enlightened by the ’Three Character Classic’. There is one sentence in it that I remember very clearly."

At this moment, the Empress had no interest in discussing this damned ’Three Character Classic’ or the sentence Emperor Yongning remembered so well. She now only wished Emperor Yongning would help her so she could use this opportunity to suppress Jun Ning.

Don’t think that just because she’s a princess now, she can trample on her head , disregarding her.

Seeing Emperor Yongning hold Jun Ning and still favor her so much, she didn’t dare to appear too anxious.

The matter of making Jun Ning apologize must be approached slowly!

She smiled, pretending to be very interested in the topic Emperor Yongning proposed, "I wonder, what sentence does Your Majesty remember the most?"

Emperor Yongning looked at Jun Ning and said, "A child who is not taught is the father’s fault." He paused, "I have remembered this sentence clearly since I was a child."

The Empress’s face instantly darkened.

What did His Majesty mean by suddenly bringing up this sentence at this moment?

Could it be that he thought that the accusation against Princess Anle was his fault as the Emperor Father?

Emperor Yongning confessed, "Empress, if the princess truly made any mistake, as her father, I bear unavoidable responsibility. So..."

"If you want the princess to apologize, it’s tantamount to saying you want me to apologize. Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Emperor Yongning asked dangerously.

Upon hearing this, the Empress was shocked and quickly fell to her knees, kowtowing loudly, "Your Majesty, I would never dare." Things weren’t that serious, "That is not what I meant."

Emperor Yongning squinted, "Then what do you mean?"

The Empress stammered, unable to explain her grievance.

The Emperor’s heart was so biased, Princess Anle humiliated her, the dignified Queen, and disregarded her and East Chu’s dignity. As an Emperor, he not only didn’t support her but indulged the princess?

Her request for help seemed like a joke in the face of such a biased heart.

The Empress wanted to argue further, but Emperor Yongning was not interested in listening. He just left one sentence, "Empress, take care of yourself," then stood with Jun Ning in his arms and walked towards the exit.

The Empress felt so aggrieved she wanted to pound the floor.

What does it mean to take care of herself?

What did she do wrong?

She did nothing wrong!

It was that Princess Anle’s fault.

Outside the Jiaofang Palace gate, Jun Ning struggled to get out of Emperor Yongning’s embrace.

Emperor Yongning was getting old, and if a child really acted up, although he had practiced martial arts when he was young and wasn’t weak, now he really wasn’t a match for children.

Jun Ning easily wriggled free from his arms.

Grabbing Emperor Yongning’s hand, she turned to head back to the Jiaofang Palace, "Imperial Father, we haven’t seen the truth yet, why are we leaving? Let’s not go, let’s continue to seek the truth."

"As long as I see Brother’s left arm, the truth will be clear."

In summary, Jun Ning absolutely refused to admit she had lost, nor would she allow the five hundred taels of gold she had practically gotten to be lost to her father, then be recorded as a debt of five hundred taels of gold.

She’s still young, her small shoulders cannot bear such a heavy burden, and she certainly doesn’t want to spend her future days repaying debt.

Emperor Yongning pulled Jun Ning back.

"Imperial Father, why not go? Could it be you believe the Empress’s lies about not mistreating Brother and even being good to him?" Jun Ning shook her head like a rattle drum, "No, it’s really not like that, the Empress is pretending, Imperial Father you must trust your daughter."

Saying this, Jun Ning clenched her little fists tightly in anger, wishing she could go beat the Empress immediately.

That pretentious woman!

Emperor Yongning said, "Bao’er, don’t rush, listen to what Father has to say."

"If Father believes the Empress and not me..." Jun Ning tilted her head and said, "Then there’s no point in saying anything more."

Emperor Yongning said, "Bao’er, could you listen to Father finish speaking?"

Jun Ning pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "...Fine, I’ll listen!" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Emperor Yongning explained, "If you go back , even if you see something on Seventeen’s left arm, the Empress will find another excuse to dodge it. So, don’t do pointless things."

The Empress had been in the central palace for many years, and there were spies everywhere in the palace.

She could act so seamlessly this time, probably because someone had already reported that they were coming.

And Seventeen’s left arm, even if there was a problem...
