Chapter 337 Children Don’t Need to Say Goodbye

"Concubine Xin is coming." The emperor said to An Jiu holding the letter.

An Jiu frowned.

"Will you really come?"

Concubine Xin was so smart that she must have guessed it when the emperor sent the sixth princess to test him.

But she still has to come to the capital in person?

"For the Ming King?"

The emperor laughed.

"Perhaps."

An Jiu always felt that the emperor's attitude was strange this time.

But he didn't say anything.

She hadn't visited An Tai for some time and didn't know how he was doing, so she told the emperor and went to An Tai's house.

An Taicai went to deliver food to the people of Chu.

When An Jiu came, he was sitting on the steps in a daze.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw An Jiu, running towards him with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

An Jiu smiled and said, "I'm taking a break today and came to see you."

An Tai was very happy, and the two siblings asked about each other's situation.

"If you are unhappy here, just go to the outskirts of Beijing and buy a yard to live in." An Jiu remembered that this was An Tai's previous plan.

But An Tai shook his head.

"It's pretty good here. There's food and drink, and I get paid."

Despite this, it did not stop Antai from cursing his boss after receiving his wages.

An Tai said: "He definitely did it on purpose. He was afraid that the Fifth Prince would not be able to control the Sixth Princess, so he asked me to come over."

"Who am I? The Sixth Princess won't give me any respect."

This is referring to the emperor.

An Tai felt that his sister was simple, kind and lovely, and was no match for the emperor, that old bastard.

An Tai complained a lot. He hoped that his sister would not rush into it and be more careful when dealing with the emperor, otherwise she would be the only one who would suffer in the end.

An Jiu nodded.

An Tai felt that she didn't hear a word she said.

An Jiu was a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject.

"Are the people of Chu obedient?"

An Tai smiled and said, "Listen, you are so obedient."

At first he didn't listen, complaining that the food was not to his taste.

It doesn’t matter. An Tai feels that there is nothing that can’t be solved by skipping one or two meals. If there is, then just skip three or four meals.

Anyway, it’s hard for people to starve to death.

Moreover, desires are divided into levels.

Some desires can be suppressed, while others cannot.

No one can stand being hungry.

It's instinct.

The Fifth Prince and the people of Chu cursed at him at first, but now they have become much more obedient.

After An Jiu left, the fifth prince came stealthily.

He just couldn't stand the sight of the villain An Tai succeeding.

"Your sister is working for the emperor, but she didn't find a good job for you?" The fifth prince was bored and wanted to provoke An Tai to make him uncomfortable.

An Tai thought, my sister is just a palace maid, what can she do?

He looked at the fifth prince with a serious look.

How dare the Fifth Prince talk about his sister?

He smiled at the fifth prince and said, "Seeing the people who bullied me in the past grovel and kowtow, isn't this a good job?"

and……

An Tai smiled evilly.

"At least my sister came to see me. Where's your sister?"

This sentence touched the fifth prince's sore spot.

"You **** little white face, you ****"

The fifth prince was so angry that he couldn't control his temper and started cursing.

An Tai said in a rude tone, "Fifth Prince, you still have the energy to curse me. It seems that you have eaten too much recently. So, let's skip the dinner."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Are you kidding? Who are the Chu people? The people of Daxia are still starving, so how can they have enough food every day?

It's good enough to be alive.

I thought I was the prince of Chu.

ridiculous.

An Tai was a very vengeful person. When the Fifth Prince bullied him, he remembered that when he was first brought back by the Sixth Princess, he was the Fifth Prince's toy, who beat, scolded and humiliated him. He often did not have enough to eat. Once, he was so hungry that he could not bear it anymore and snatched the food from the bowl of the Fifth Prince's dog. The Fifth Prince found out and brought people to beat him up and humiliate him.

Now, the people of Chu were hungry, and it turned out that they were no better than a dog.

The Sixth Princess really chose the right person to take care of the Fifth Prince.

The Sixth Princess doesn't care about him or his sister, so she doesn't care about her brother, An Tai, either.

fair enough.

An Tai thought, I am really a fox taking advantage of the power of others and now I start to think about fairness and unfairness.

As soon as he went out, he met Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng also came to see whether these Chu people would be obedient.

An Tai smiled and said, "I am very obedient. I am very obedient."

Jiang Sheng was a little suspicious, so he went in to take a look and saw the fifth prince of Chu yelling at An Tai, while the other Chu people had angry and helpless expressions on their faces.

Jiang Sheng asked someone again and found out that he knew everything An Tai had done.

He felt that An Tai was truly a talented person.

That's right.

It would be better if the people of Chu could not starve to death, but live in discomfort.

He also hated the Chu people. If it weren't for the emperor's order, he would have killed those Chu people long ago.

…

The fifth prince of the courtyard was furious: "Damn An Tai, who the hell is he? He was just a dog of our family. Sooner or later, I will kill him."

The people around him quickly persuaded him: "Your Highness, you must not do that. We are on someone else's territory."

The fifth prince was not convinced: "Am I just going to watch him climb over my head?"

The people around him were helpless: "Your Highness, now we are at the mercy of others, let's just be patient and wait for the Imperial Concubine and the Princess to come up with a solution and take us back."

His subordinates felt that the Fifth Prince simply did not understand the situation clearly.

Is this in Chu?

This is Daxia.

Someone else's territory.

I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you something to eat.

If I'm in a bad mood, I'd even kill you.

Will the King of Chu go to war with Daxia for the Fifth Prince?

Stop joking. If Emperor Chu really cared about the Fifth Prince, he would not let him stay in Daxia.

Being a hostage in another country...

What's the difference between that and being dead?

The fifth prince calmed down and sat down on the steps under the eaves.

After a while, he asked, "Are we really unable to go back?"

No one around him could answer him.

Who doesn’t want to go home?

Those spies who died some time ago haven't returned for decades.

Isn’t what they want also to go back?

But who should be blamed for this?

Now we can only hope that the princess and the imperial concubine can find a solution.

Why!

An Jiu returns to the palace.

The emperor was not in Guanghua Palace. She thought he had gone out and didn't think much about it. She just wanted to go back to her little room to sleep.

But as soon as I entered the room, I found something unusual.

On the table, the pine nuts she had peeled for the tyrant were gone.

An Jiu paused. "

She called out, "Your Majesty?"

No one responded.

An Jiu was confused, then she saw a dark shadow behind her. An Jiu turned around and found the Tyrant standing behind her holding a bouquet of flowers.

Anjiu stared at him.

He said: "Xiaojiu...the flowers...are for you."

It seemed like he had turned back into the tyrant that An Jiu first knew.

Is your mind starting to feel unclear again?

"Your Majesty?" An Jiu called him.

He nodded.

An Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. She took the flower, which was originally beautiful.

But the tyrant used brute force when picking the flowers, causing a lot of petals to fall off, making the flowers look miserable.

An Jiu trimmed the flowers with scissors, poured some clean water into the priceless vase and put the flowers in.

The tyrant was happy.

He laughed.

An Jiu asked him: "Are you hungry?"

He shook his head and touched his stomach.

He ate lots of pine nuts and now he is not hungry at all.

An Jiu said: "I thought you would never show up again?"

The tyrant looked at her.

After looking for a long time, he suddenly said: "Xiaojiu, I..."

He seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

An Jiu asked him: "So, are you here to say goodbye?"

The tyrant tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion.

He didn't seem to understand.

"Why do you want to say goodbye?"

An Jiu's eyes were red, but he forced a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. Children don't need to understand so much, and children don't need to say goodbye."

Then the tyrant also laughed.
