The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 289: Hoist with His Own Petard

Did they really think that after Uncle Qi’s death, the Crown Prince was baselessly blamed, and then there would be no one on his side to speak for him?

Being banished to Sairu City today might not be a bad thing for the Crown Prince; she can overlook it. But the grievances the Crown Prince and Jing Shu endured today, she won’t ignore. She is determined to make Duke and the others pay the price.

Duke and others better not think they can bully people recklessly like this.

Thinking this, Jun Ning appeared as if her leg had been broken. She dragged a leg, emerging from behind the Golden Throne, groaning repeatedly in pain.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, Emperor, you must stand up for Anle!"

In the past, it wasn’t that Emperor Yongning never took Jun Ning to court, but that was when she was very young. Emperor Yongning would carry the little girl in, sit her beside the Golden Throne while discussing state affairs with the ministers, and play with her little feet in tiger-head shoes.

But when Jun Ning grew older, at about five or six years old, she no longer wished to attend court sessions with Emperor Yongning.

Today was the first time in years Jun Ning attended court, and it was to file a complaint.

"Anle, what happened to you?" Hurry and come over to Father Emperor here.

Seeing the little girl grimacing in pain, constantly moaning, looking so miserable, Emperor Yongning’s heart ached for her no matter what. Just watching her frown made him feel tender anguish.

"Come sit down quickly." Emperor Yongning made some space next to him for Jun Ning to sit.

After sitting down, Jun Ning pitifully looked at her leg and said, "Father Emperor, yesterday Zhang Zihao chased after your child, insisting on hitting me, but he ended up hurting himself..."

As these words were spoken, meaningful glances fixed on Duke.

What did Duke just say? He insisted that it was Jing Shu who hurt his grandson that way. At the time, everyone ignored the Crown Prince’s words, siding directly with Duke, thinking he was the victim.

But now Princess Anle says otherwise?

Whose words are true?

The crowd watched back and forth between Jun Ning and Duke.

Concerning Jun Ning, the apple of Emperor Yongning’s eye, they dared not rashly accuse her, much less blame her as they blamed the Crown Prince’s daughter before.

Jun Ning understood their psychology.

They not only wouldn’t blame her, but they had to support her?

Just from those words, she continued, "Regarding Zhang Zihao’s chase, I avoided it then, suffered no injury. But now, I suddenly feel, my leg hurts very badly, maybe it’s because he chased me yesterday, and got it injured."

Chased yesterday, only to feel injured today?

Clearly, this is a setup!

Haha, does Duke think he’s the only one who can speak lies with open eyes, casually accuse others?

Jun Ning can too.

Seeing through Jun Ning’s pretense, Duke almost ground his teeth to pieces.

This Princess Anle is too vile, brazenly setting him up, making him furious.

He shot a venomous glance at Jun Ning.

Meeting his gaze, Jun Ning hurriedly wrapped herself around Emperor Yongning in fear, "Father Emperor, Zhang Zihao’s grandpa is looking at me with a terrifying look, like he wants to kill me!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongning looked at Duke.

Duke quickly dispelled the fierce look, lowered his head in guilt for a long time, not daring to lift it, cowardly enough.

Emperor Yongning watched him for a while, finding him unimpressive, withdrew his gaze.

Jun Ning said, "Father Emperor, my leg aches, my leg aches terribly, you must stand up for me."

"Would you only stand up for Zhang Zihao, not for me?" Jun Ning cried, "I am hurt so severely, this leg feels broken. I might not even walk tomorrow. What am I to do, I’m so scared I’ll be crippled." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Jun Ning cried heartbreakingly, tears flowing seamlessly.

Seeing observers moved, much more were the always doting Emperor Yongning.

Emperor Yongning watched Jun Ning howl from the leg pain, his heart worried and anxious, "Enough, stop crying!" He looked toward Xiao Lizi beside, "Imperial Physician, summon the Imperial Physician immediately."

Quickly, the Imperial Physician arrived, examined Jun Ning’s leg in the back room, and came forward to report, saying there was nothing wrong with Jun Ning’s leg and everyone need not worry.

But Jun Ning didn’t think she was alright; she had issues, significant ones.

Unyieldingly she said, "You quack, what nonsense are you talking about, saying nothing’s wrong with my leg? My leg hurts so much, hurts so much I can’t walk, can hardly breathe, feeling chest tightness."

Duke: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Feeling this Princess Anle is feigning.

Yes, indeed feigning, to continue her setup.

She unmistakably wasn’t willing to relent without a conclusion.

Emperor Yongning’s eyes filled with the pain of his beloved daughter, cared not to think much, Jun Ning screamed in pain making his heart throb along, "Imperial Physician, continue the treatment for Princess Anle. The treatment stops only when Princess Anle stops yelling in pain, otherwise don’t speak nonsense."

The Imperial Physician, upon hearing these words, was drenched in sweat, repeated pulse-checking Jun Ning, attempting no unnecessary commentary.

Otherwise, the immortals fight, mortals suffer!

In his rage, Emperor Yongning again directed his aim at Duke, "Were it not for Zhang Zihao, would my beloved daughter be like this? Salary of Duke Resentment is cut by half a year for punishment."

Duke felt distressed to the core.

Yet in the back, under treatment by the Imperial Physician, Jun Ning still cried, "Father Emperor, it hurts, it hurts so much..."

Hearing this cry, made Emperor Yongning’s anger surged again, "The grandson of Duke, Zhang Zihao, hurt the princess, flogged ten times as a warning to others."

"Father Emperor... Child not taught... Father’s fault... I am harmed... Even Zhang Zihao’s father is at fault..." Jun Ning cried reminding.

Meaning Emperor Yongning should not forget about Zhang Zihao’s father.

Just like how the Crown Prince was innocently dragged into it, they were innocent. But a child not taught can drag them into the waters, making them punished even more severely than the wrongdoer himself.

Unashamedly Emperor Yongning, "Princess Anle is right, a son unbroadened, the father’s fault. Princess Anle injured, Zhang Zihao’s father is unmistakably involved. Exile him immediately to the western Sairu City, serving under the Crown Prince’s directives. His return aligns with the Crown Prince’s."

Hearing this punishment, and recalling his previous targetings at the Crown Prince, resulting in the Crown Prince’s dispatch to the western Sairu City. Now, oh how karma plays around, his son too hasn’t escaped such misfortune.

What has he done? Lifted a stone to smash his own feet!

So furious his heart raced, on the verge of passing out.
