Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Exactly Like Me
The wound was quite large, as if it were cut by some sharp instrument. But Jun Ning couldn’t determine exactly what kind of sharp instrument it was.
"Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician!"
Jun Ning looked at the wound that wouldn’t stop bleeding, and her tears uncontrollably fell. Every cell and every drop of blood in her body was in pain because of this.
It was simply beyond her control.
Such a strange feeling.
This must be the unique sensation shared between twins!
Jun Ning tightened her grip on Jun Yu’s hand.
The Imperial Physician arrived quickly. Although Jun Yu’s wound was large, it wasn’t deep. There was no need for stitches, only some oral hemostatic medication and proper bandaging.
The Imperial Physician was swift in his work, and soon he had bandaged Jun Yu’s wound and carefully instructed, "The wound must not get wet, and do not exert force on the left arm to prevent it from reopening."
These precautions were not unfamiliar to Jun Ning; they were commonplace in her past life. But seeing her brother in pain, she patiently remembered them again.
At this moment, Jun Yu’s face was very pale, and he urgently needed rest.
However, without demanding an explanation from the Empress, Jun Ning was determined not to let it go.
"Brother, please wait for me, we will be back soon." Jun Ning entrusted Jun Yu to Xiao Lizi, "Mr. Li, please take care of my brother for now."
"Rest assured, Princess, I will take good care of His Highness the Seventeenth Prince."
Xiao Lizi squatted down, pulling Jun Yu closer to lean against his shoulder, allowing him to rest for the moment.
Jun Yu closed his eyes wearily.
Jun Ning approached the Empress and questioned fiercely, "Empress, is this the love you claim to have for Brother Ah Yu?"
The Empress was stunned, and for a long moment, she couldn’t speak.
Jun Ning scoffed disdainfully and continued, "If that’s the case, your love for my brother is indeed unbearable!"
Then Jun Ning turned to Emperor Yongning, "Father, Brother Ah Yu was only going to Jiaofang Palace to move some things to the prince’s residence. But the Empress made him suffer like this."
"May I ask, is the Empress still trustworthy?"
Clearly, not trustworthy at all.
The Empress’s image in Emperor Yongning’s mind had utterly collapsed.
Emperor Yongning had already seen through the Empress!
"And Father, you previously said that after Brother Ah Yu moves to the prince’s residence, he should often visit Jiaofang Palace to see the Empress."
"But under these circumstances, can he still come?"
Jun Ning bombarded Emperor Yongning with several questions.
Emperor Yongning pursed his lips and said, "Certainly he cannot come anymore."
From now on, the Seventeenth Prince, Jun Yu, would only nominally be under the Empress’s name as her son. There would definitely be no further contact between the Seventeenth Prince and the Empress.
Emperor Yongning wanted to continue discussing this with Jun Ning, but the Empress interrupted him first.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. What I said to the Seventeenth Prince, what I did to him, was just playful banter. It wasn’t intentional. As for the injury on his arm, it has nothing to do with me..."
"How does it have nothing to do with you? You clearly ordered the servants to hold me, and used broken vase glass to cut me!" Jun Yu suddenly opened his eyes, vehemently defending himself.
He knew this was his only opportunity to expose the Empress’s true nature; he couldn’t miss it and had to seize it!
"I..." The Empress shook her head with tears, still wanting to argue, "Your Majesty, please don’t listen to his nonsense. It’s not like that. The wound wasn’t my intention; it was an accident. An accident means it naturally doesn’t concern me."
Just listen to the absurdity of those words.
If it wasn’t playful banter, then it was an accident.
Does the Empress truly think she can get away with such excuse?
If that were the case, the Empress would be far too arrogant.
Does she think others are foolish and easily deceived, unable to see through her tricks?
Emperor Yongning was speechless.
Jun Ning was also speechless, watching the Empress with a bit of madness, having no intention of arguing with her.
Jun Ning ran over to the curio shelf inside, stood on her tiptoes to grab a vase, and then smashed it onto the ground, breaking it. She picked up a shard of glass and headed towards the Empress.
"What do you want to do?" The Empress stepped back two paces.
Jun Ning said, "Come forward, and apprehend the Empress for me."
The Imperial Guard, having observed Emperor Yongning’s lack of objection and his interest in watching his beloved little princess, boldly stepped forward to restrain the Empress.
The Empress reluctantly struggled, seeing no escape, she threatened, "My father is the Marquis Zhongyong, do you all intend to rebel with Princess Anle?"
As these words fell, the sharp instrument swung down against her left arm.
The instrument was extremely sharp, and her upper left arm was immediately cut with a large, deep wound.
Blood gushed out like warm spring water.
The Empress screamed.
"Your Majesty, Princess Anle wants to murder me, please seek justice for me." The Empress pleaded.
Jun Ning sneered, throwing away the shard of glass, and explained, "I accidentally injured the Empress just now, it was unintentional, and naturally unrelated to me... Empress, don’t blame me..."
After a pause, she added, "Murder? That’s not the case because Anle wouldn’t dare."
The Empress: "???
Why did Jun Ning’s words sound so familiar?
Especially those first two sentences!
The Empress felt like she had heard them somewhere before.
Where had she heard them?
Wasn’t it what she had just explained to Emperor Yongning about Jun Yu’s wound?
Jun Ning had returned it all to her.
Was she the only one who could shirk responsibility?
Emperor Yongning witnessed all of this most clearly from the side.
"Haha... Hahaha..."
He burst into laughter, the sound indicating his immense pleasure. But the Empress felt no joy; she found the laughter deeply mocking, as if she had been slapped in the face.
"My dear, you truly are just like me, in style and actions!"
If it were him, he would have resolved it the same way.
Because when dealing with rogues, reasoning is futile. The best way is to use rogue methods against rogues, letting them know they aren’t the only ones who can be conniving.
In the past, the Empress had been reckless and unrestrained, and this time she was caught in the act.
She had no chance of leaving Jiaofang Palace soon, not a chance.
Not only that, but she was also harshly reprimanded by Emperor Yongning.
And reprimand wasn’t the end of it; Emperor Yongning seized the opportunity to forcibly take something from her.
What was it he took?
