Chapter 257: Repaying a Favor



Looking at Yuan Zhizhi's puzzled expression, Qingzhi realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said and quickly fell silent.

Although the little prince is just a child, he is extremely intelligent and she shouldn't say too much.

Yuan Zhizhi couldn't help but look at Qingzhi's face for a long time, and then she remembered, when she and her father went to rescue her mother that night, was there a maid there?

However, it was too dark at the time, and her attention was on her mother and the big devil, so she didn't notice Qingzhi.

So the current Qingzhi is the maid who was with my mother in Chaoyuan at that time?

The "Princess" she was talking about was her own mother?

Yuan Zhizhi was soaking in the warm water, but her little head was spinning.

She has been spending more and more time with the Big Devil recently. Because he is so nice to her, she almost forgot that the Big Devil had locked her mother up at that time.

So the big devil wants my mother to be his princess?

Yuan Zhizhi had a series of question marks in her head. After taking a bath, she rolled around on the bed in her soft underwear.

Dotta read for a while and came to see if she was asleep.

My eyes just happened to meet Yuan Zhizhi's, who was lying on the bed in a strange position, playing with her little feet.

Seeing Duota coming, Yuan Zhizhi rolled over and stared at him.

Dota sat down beside the bed and asked, "What's wrong?" when he saw her like this.

Now when he spoke to Yuan Zhizhi, his voice softened unconsciously.

Yuan Zhizhi shook his head and asked his own question directly in his heart,

[Big Devil, are you going to lock my mother up for Senma? ]

Hearing this, the smile on Dota's lips slowly faded.

Yuan Zhizhi saw that he did not answer, and continued to talk to himself,

[Is it because you like mother? ...] She lay mostly on the bed, her head resting on Dota's legs.

[Just like liking Zhizhi?] As she said this, she turned her head and looked at Duota, dangling her feet with an innocent look on her face.

As if some secret secret of his was touched upon, Dota's body stiffened for a moment.

So in Zhizhi's heart, she also felt that he was imprisoning her?

Just like he locked up her mother...

"It's true that he controls me, but what's the difference between you and him?"

What Yuan Zhao said to him at that time rang in his ears. Duota's hand hanging at his side slowly tightened, and his chest seemed to be tightly squeezed by something.

If others had such thoughts, he would not care.

But when facing Yuan Zhizhi, it was precisely because of her innocence that Duota felt ashamed for a moment.

After a long while, he finally found his voice and asked in a low voice,

"Zhizhi... do you want to leave here?"

Yuan Zhizhi sat up and thought about it carefully.

Dota's eyes were fixed on her, with unclear emotions in them.

Finally, she shook her head.

Inexplicably, the moment she shook her head, Dota felt a breath of air dissipate from his chest.

He lowered his eyes, and Yuan Zhizhi crawled to his side and snuggled up to him.

The small body was like a small stove, and he felt the warmth immediately.

[The Great Devil saved our nest. I should repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude... Zhizhi is a person who knows how to repay a favor!] She nodded heavily, speaking very seriously.

Although the devil imprisoned her mother, it is also true that he saved her life.

Moreover, she has seen how good Dota has been to her these days.

At least in her heart, the Big Devil is different from the purely evil Wei Shaoqing and Bai Ruyue mother and daughter.

The Great Devil... always seems awkward...

[The big devil yelled at me, and I will yell back at him!]

Dota lowered his head and looked at those big, bright eyes, not knowing what to say.

Yuan Zhizhi continued to chatter,

[But… besides the big devil, Zhizhi also has his mother, brothers and sisters, and uncles… so many people like Zhizhi, love Zhizhi…]

[There are also many people who love their mothers...]

Dota listened to these words and became even more silent.

Yes, besides him, there are many people who love them.

His love is not worth mentioning.

[If you like someone... you can't lock her up...]

Yuan Zhizhi kicked her legs and continued, "Just like Zhizhi likes Xiaobai, but Zhizhi won't lock it up and prevent it from going anywhere..."

[Just like the Great Demon King loves Cang Yuan and won't lock it up to prevent it from flying...]

Xiaobai turned over on his belly on the ground.

Dota just sat there leaning against the headboard. The inner room was warm, but he felt hot and cold at times.

His Adam's apple rolled and he closed his eyes to hide the waves of bitterness spreading from his chest.

Even a child like Zhizhi knows this truth, so why shouldn't he know it?

But if he doesn't do this, no one will stop for him...

Zhizhi's inner voice continued, she suddenly looked up at Duota, and smiled with dimples.

[Big Devil, do you also want to be my daddy? ]

Duota was stunned and didn't follow Yuan Zhizhi's train of thought.

Yuan Zhizhi counted on her fingers, "Zhizhi has quite a few dads~ There's the scumbag dad... there's the Huo daddy..."

She stretched out her third finger, [One more finger wouldn't be a problem~]

[However, being Zhizhi's father is easy, but being mother's husband is more difficult... That's mother's business...]

She mumbled for a long time, and finally fell asleep in Dota's arms.

Dota stared at her sleeping face, her words playing over and over in his mind.

For a long time, until late at night, he was still sitting there in the same posture.

It was not until a whistle was heard outside the hall that he quietly covered the sleeping Yuan Zhizhi with a blanket and left.

As he walked out of the hall, a dark shadow appeared in front of him. It was a member of the Eagle Guard.

"Your Majesty, we have found the whereabouts of the second prince."

"Where?" Facing the Eagle Guard, Dota regained his stern look.

"In the Murong clan's territory."

"I also found out that the old patriarch of the Murong clan appeared near the Da Sima Mansion a few days ago."

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone?"

In the dark night, Dota's eyes were like the abyss, but he shook his head.

"There aren't enough fish yet. Wait a little longer."

The Eagle Guard received the order and prepared to leave, but Dota asked again,

"Is the document sent to Dacheng arriving soon?"

The Eagle Guard was stunned for a moment before realizing what Dota was talking about.

"It's been half a month. It should be here soon."

That document was sent by the King on the day the Imperial Garden was burned, right? Is the King really anxious?

Dota curled his fingers and looked towards the inner hall, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long silence, he waved his hand.

"Go down."

In the capital of Dacheng, Duota's letter had already been received.

Moreover, it caused an uproar within the court.

Because Dota's letter was written in his capacity as the King of Northern Qiang, requesting to marry Princess Zhaohe of Dacheng as his queen.

Moreover, the betrothal gifts included the rebel Huo Pingchang, the northern Qiang's precious horse breeding land - Ningcheng, and fifty years of friendly relations between the two countries.

A generous gift is required as a betrothal gift.
