Chapter 225: Chapter 225

"Is it Princess Anle?"

At the mention of this name, the Empress Dowager fell silent.

How could it be Ah Ning?

Jun Yang appealed tearfully, "Grand Empress Dowager, you said you would help Yang Er get justice, you won’t deceive Yang Er, right?"

The Empress Dowager said nothing.

Jun Yang grabbed the Empress Dowager’s hand, gently shook it, and continued, "Princess Anle is now in the Imperial Study Room, let’s go there and beat her now, alright? We must repay Yang Er’s injury a thousandfold."

"Hmph, let her dare to hit me." Jun Yang puffed up her cheeks, "Just because the Emperor doesn’t support me, doesn’t mean no one will support me. I still have the Grand Empress Dowager."

"Princess Anle, this time the Grand Empress Dowager will definitely help me smash your mouth to vent my anger!"

Though Jun Yang was small, the venom in her words was no less than that of an adult. Her expression was so fierce, lacking any childhood innocence.

The Empress Dowager, after hearing Jun Yang’s words, glanced at her displeasedly, then angrily looked at the maids and nannies behind her and said, "Immediately drive Jun Yang and Prince Xiao Yao out of the Cining Palace."

Don’t think she didn’t know what crooked thoughts the father and daughter were harboring.

Unable to gain anything from the Emperor, they came here.

They almost made her believe that Jun Yang was gravely wronged in the palace.

When she heard Jun Yang say that it was Princess Anle who hit her and that she wanted to smash Princess Anle’s mouth, she already knew right from wrong in her heart.

Princess Anle, even when confined to the Cold Palace and not yet a princess, would share food with the hungry Jun Yu. After becoming a princess, she never targeted Jing Shu during their initial disagreements, and now they get along well. Moreover, upon noticing Nanny Zhang’s troubles, she cared for her, despite Nanny Zhang’s usual sternness, and even found ways to lend her money.

Anle is a kind-hearted child.

She wouldn’t hit someone for no reason, especially not a child.

Contrast with Jun Yang.

In the past six months, her incidents of hitting people outside the palace have been countless, a clear sign of misconduct.

Now she has picked a fight with Anle.

Though she was hit, the Empress Dowager believes Jun Ning would not hit anyone for no reason, it must have been Jun Yang’s provocation that angered Ah Ning into action.

The Emperor didn’t support them, precisely because the truth has been uncovered, and they were found in the wrong.

Unwilling to accept this, they sought her out.

They even wanted her to help smash Ah Ning’s mouth?

Their imaginations ran wild!

The Empress Dowager was filled with anger.

"Mother, why is this?" Prince Xiao Yao asked, panicking at being sent away suddenly.

Jun Yang then cried out, "Grand Empress Dowager, you haven’t yet stood up for your granddaughter? That wretched girl’s face hasn’t been smashed yet, how can you send me away?"

"Is my grudge to remain unavenged?" Jun Yang was greatly dissatisfied, throwing a tantrum on the floor, speaking recklessly, "Grand Empress Dowager, at your age, you can’t go back on your word."

Listen to what she’s saying!

No awareness of her own mistakes, no respect for her elders at all!

The Empress Dowager’s anger intensified.

She slammed the table and rose, raging, "Someone, immediately throw them out for me." She wouldn’t be upset if they were unseen.

The maids and nannies, seeing the Empress Dowager so angry, dared not delay and promptly drove them out. If they weren’t strong enough, they called for the Imperial Guards outside to help.

After about fifteen minutes of commotion, the father and daughter were finally ousted. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩

The Empress Dowager’s anger had not subsided, her chest heaving violently. Clutching her chest, she said, "How did Prince Xiao Yao raise his daughter ? And he, himself, even scheming against his own mother."

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply, "Does he think that because his mother is old, with failing eyes and a muddled mind, he can exploit it for his own ends?"

Though not her biological son, he was raised by her own hands from a young age.

To be so calculated against, used— how could the Empress Dowager not be heartbroken!

Nanny Liu, who had just returned from fetching the Imperial Physician, comforted, "Empress Dowager, don’t trouble yourself with unworthy individuals. I just met Wei Lin on the way back, and he said the Emperor will come later with Princess Anle, Consort Hua, and the Seventeenth Prince for lunch. Let’s prepare!"

"Ah Ning and the others are coming to Cining Palace." The Empress Dowager’s spirit lifted immediately, "The anger Prince Xiao Yao caused can only be soothed by that little girl."

"Hurry, get the small kitchen to prepare all the dishes that the little girl loves." The Empress Dowager instructed.

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Nanny Liu went to make the arrangements.

Prince Xiao Yao, having failed his plan, left Cining Palace in a huff.

He held Jun Yang’s hand, cursing along the way, as they prepared to leave the palace.

On the road, they encountered Princess An Ding, Yao Yao.

Yao Yao was followed by Jiang Li.

Since the day Yao Yao saved Jiang Li, she had gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with Liu Pin, pleading with the stewards to make Jiang Li her maid.

Yao Yao, though not favored by Emperor Yongning and the Empress Dowager, still held her princess status; personally requesting a maid from the Ministry was not a difficult issue, especially with Liu Pin’s company.

Nowadays, Jiang Li was indeed her maid.

In certain matters, the master and servant shared common goals, thus getting along very well.

Now, Yao Yao would venture out not with Liu Pin but with Jiang Li.

"Greetings, Royal Uncle." Yao Yao bowed to Prince Xiao Yao and then looked at Jun Yang, whom Prince Xiao Yao was holding, "Sister Yang, do you want to completely repay today’s humiliation to Anle?"

"Who are you?" The father and daughter asked in unison.

Having been absent from the palace for so long, though they knew about those significant occurrences, they didn’t recognize the protagonists involved.

Jiang Li introduced, "This is Princess An Ding, Yao Yao."

"Oh, Princess An Ding!" Prince Xiao Yao immediately knew who she was, "Was your mother a singer or oiran from Jiangnan? Named, what’s her name again?" After pondering for a while, he remembered, "Hong Niang, right?"

Yao Yao smiled awkwardly, "...Yes!"

Jun Yang, however, didn’t care much about it, tilting her chin as she asked, "Do you also hate Princess Anle?"

"Naturally," said Yao Yao, "She took what should have been mine, so I hate her very, very much!"

"What ideas do you have to help me get revenge?" Jun Yang asked, feeling aggrieved, "Understand that even the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager couldn’t help me."

"The Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager favor Princess Anle, so they naturally won’t help you." Yao Yao replied, "However, I can help you."

"Come over and I’ll tell you."
