Chapter 86: Chapter 86

Requesting the Imperial Physician is not a problem; Jun Ning’s mind is focused on another matter right now.

"Who hurt my mother ?"

Jun Ning gritted her teeth, tightly clenched her small fists and asked.

Qiong Hua just smiled indifferently, "Ah, no one has any issues with your mother. She just accidentally fell while working, it’s nothing, you don’t need to worry."

Qiong Hua tried to change the subject, "Your mother hasn’t seen you in a long time, she misses you so much. Will you stay and talk with her?"

Qiong Hua’s words were purely meant to placate a child.

But Jun Ning was not a child at heart.

This kind of talk wouldn’t fool her.

She couldn’t be easily distracted.

"Can a fall really cause this kind of injury? Mom, I’m not a child anymore. Don’t deceive me, tell me, who did this after all?" Jun Ning’s eyes burned with fury, "I will avenge you." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Jun Ning said she’s not a child anymore, but how could Qiong Hua really not see Jun Ning as a child?

She’s just a child with no physical strength to fight or confront anyone. Even if she knew it was Consort Zhao who brought people to beat her mother, what could she do? Could she fight against Consort Zhao?

So, it’s imperative that Jun Ning doesn’t find out it was Consort Zhao who injured her. Otherwise, in her impulse, not only would she fail to avenge her mother, she might even give Consort Zhao an excuse to retaliate against her.

As an adult, being beaten is nothing, she can recover in a few days. But Jun Ning is different; she wasn’t strong to begin with and has only managed to grow up with difficulty. She can’t withstand such a beating.

With the thought that a problem avoided is a problem solved, Qiong Hua closed her eyes and continued with her previous words, "Be good, Jun Ning, your mother is really fine."

"Mother..." Jun Ning stomped her feet in frustration, "If you’re truly unwilling to tell me, then I’ll go knock on every concubine’s door in the harem, and ask each one. I believe someone will tell me."

"You will offend the entire harem by doing that, you mustn’t go." Qiong Hua tried to stop her.

Jun Ning retorted with a word, then went to the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife, storming out with it angrily.

To those unaware, she seemed like chaos incarnate on the march.

"Cai Wei, quickly help stop Jun Ning." Qiong Hua, unable to get up to stop Jun Ning herself, could only rely on Cai Wei, who was taking care of her.

"Rest well, I’ll go check."

Cai Wei followed to take a look, but she never showed any intent of stopping Jun Ning. Instead, her purpose was to give Jun Ning clues.

She didn’t share Qiong Hua’s many concerns, she felt Jun Ning was favored by the Emperor. Even if Jun Ning truly did something to Consort Zhao as revenge, thanks to royal favor, Jun Ning wouldn’t face any trouble.

So, when she caught up to Jun Ning, she spoke plainly: "Jun Ning, your mother was beaten by the Empress’s cousin, Consort Zhao. In fact, this matter is related to you."

"If it weren’t for the Empress being permanently confined to the Cold Palace because of you, Consort Zhao wouldn’t have suddenly gone mad."

"So, handle it as you see fit!"

"Alright, I understand."

Receiving this information, Jun Ning headed straight for Consort Zhao’s residence.

Consort Zhao’s residence was some distance from the Cold Palace, and by the time Jun Ning arrived, Wei Lin had already brought a male and a female Imperial Physician to the Cold Palace. Moreover, not only the Imperial Physicians, but Emperor Yongning and Xiao Lizi had also come over after court.
