Nangong Jiu spit out a bubble of milk happily.
Empress Chen modestly said, "What good things can I have? They are just some of my dowry from the past, which I am giving to Jiuer."
"Haha...that's great!"
Emperor Dongling happily took Nangong Jiu and said, "Jiu'er, when Zhang Jianye comes back, all the treasures he gets will be yours."
Nangong Jiu waved his arms in response.
Don’t miss out on that bad guy Minister Lin’s things!
"Zhang Jianye?" Queen Chen was a little surprised.
"Jiu'er told me that Minister Lin embezzled money and that there were mountains of gold, silver, and jewelry in his house. I asked Zhang Jianye to search them."
Empress Chen understood: "Did Minister Lin bully Xue'er and her daughter?"
"After Xue'er and her daughter entered the hall, several officials said some unpleasant things." Emperor Dongling roughly recounted what happened in the morning court.
Empress Chen sneered: "Those blind people, do they think our Jiu'er is easy to bully?"
"They may think that Xue'er and her daughter can't hear it." Emperor Dongling smiled.
Empress Chen looked at Xiaoxing and said, "The man in the prison was thrown out on the birthday banquet day. It must have been Xiaoxing's doing, right?"
Nangong Jiu waved his arm in response.
"Haha...well done, Xiaoxing, I feel relieved!"
It was almost time for lunch when Liu Hao walked into the hall with a smile on his face. Although his movements were still a little stiff, he no longer used a wheelchair or crutches.
Nangong Yunxue looked at the person who was approaching step by step with surprise: "Brother Hao, can you walk normally?!"
"It's not very flexible yet. I may need to practice for a few more days."
Liu Hao walked closer: "Jiuer, come here, Uncle Hao, give me a hug."
Liu Hao took Nangong Jiu from his father's hands, then weighed her as if he had discovered something: "Jiu'er seems to have grown a little bit."
Empress Chen scolded, "That's for sure! Children of this age grow the fastest, changing every day."
"Grow up quickly, Jiuer. When you grow up and can walk, Uncle Hao will take you out to play."
[And mother! And mother...] The clever Nangong Jiu quickly reminded.
Liu Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, Uncle Hao will remember it!"
Afternoon.
Emperor Dongling and his entourage took Nangong Jiu to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors and offer jade discs.
After completing the process and leaving the ancestral temple, Emperor Dongling looked at Nangong Yunxue seriously.
"Li Yulin wants to see Jiuer, saying that Jiuer would be unfilial if she doesn't go to see him. It's up to you to decide whether to see her or not."
Nangong Yunxue was stunned after hearing this, and unconsciously hugged Nangong Jiu tightly with her hands.
After coming back to his senses, he lost control: "What right does he have to say that? What kind of father is he?
Where was he when I was pregnant, doing laundry and embroidery for others to make a living? What was he doing when I was struggling to give birth to Jiuer?
He should never have thought of killing us. If we hadn't escaped quickly, we would have died long ago.
A loving father and a filial son!
He is not worthy of Jiuer's respect for him. Jiuer is mine alone and has nothing to do with him."
[Mom, don't be angry! Just meet him. I want to see his miserable state. Wouldn't that make me feel better?]
"You want to go see him?" Nangong Yunxue looked at Nangong Jiu in her arms, feeling extremely reluctant.
"Mother, I only hate him. Doesn't he want to climb up the social ladder? Let's go and see him fall into the mud and wait for death. That would be very satisfying."
Nangong Yunxue looked at Nangong Jiu and was caught in a dilemma.
Li Yulin's unfaithfulness and cruelty, all the little things that happened when they grew up together, and the kindness that Li's parents had shown him, kept entangled and torn him apart in his heart.
【I only have my mother! 】
And baby...
Nangong Jiuwu took action to express his attitude.
Nangong Yunxue looked at the little person in her arms with a serious expression.
Forget it, Li Yulin is indeed her father, and she has the right to see him. If she is not allowed to see him, she might regret it.
"Have you thought about it? Do you really want to go see him?"
【Um! 】
"Then go!" Nangong Yunxue gave up her last struggle.
When Emperor Dongling saw that the mother and daughter had reached a consensus, he called Eunuch Wei.
"Laifu, take them to the prison. Be careful not to bump into anything."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wei had a sedan chair brought and went to the prison.
After the others had gone far away, Emperor Dongling accompanied Empress Chen back to Kunning Palace.
The two walked in silence for a while.
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
"Queen, I..."
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Empress Chen burst out laughing: "Your Majesty, you speak first!"
Emperor Dong Ling looked around and lowered his voice: "Jiu'er has given me five years of life. I feel a lot younger."
Empress Chen nodded happily: "Jiu'er is also given to me!"
"Haha... Great, we are so lucky!" Emperor Dongling was very happy.
"If Li Yulin knew what he had lost, would he want to kill himself?"
"I don't care what will happen to Li Yulin, but I'm worried that Xue'er and her mother will be in trouble.
What if Li Yulin is shameless enough to insist on them saving him?"
Emperor Dongling patted Empress Chen's hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, Jiuer is not an ordinary child, he can't control her!"
Big prison.
Eunuch Wei escorted Nangong Yunxue and her daughter all the way to the cell where Li Yulin was imprisoned.
At this time, Li Yulin was curled up on a pile of weeds in the corner of the cell.
The jailer opened the cell door, but he didn't move. The jailer walked in and tugged at him a few times: "Li Yulin, get up. Madam Xue and Princess Dingguo are here to see you."
Li Yulin finally moved his body and struggled for a long time before he sat up with his hands on the ground with the help of the jailer.
"You're here!"
Li Yulin seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and a strong will to survive burst out from his originally dead eyes.
Nangong Yunxue looked at Li Yulin, whose hair was disheveled and covered in blood: "Yes, we are here! Just say whatever you want to say. Don't use words like filial piety to pressure Jiuer.
Jiu'er is still a baby less than two months old, and the unfilial hat is too big for her small head.
Li Yulin said to himself: "Xue'er, squat down and let me see Jiu'er."
Nangong Yunxue squatted down and moved Nangong Jiu to the outside.
Li Yulin looked at her carefully, and the more he looked, the happier he became: "Jiu'er is so beautiful!
Haha… My Li family’s ancestors accumulated good karma, so they didn’t die out with me. There are still people who can carry on the Li family’s legacy!”
As he spoke, he stretched out his injured and slightly swollen hand, wanting to touch Nangong Jiu's little face.
Nangong Jiu waved his little arms to block, and Nangong Yunxue also stood up suddenly and stepped back.
Li Yulin withdrew his hand that had missed the target.
"I'm sorry, I'm not worthy of being a father!
My current situation is all my own fault. I asked for it.
I don't ask you to forgive me, I just ask you to give me a hand. I will turn over a new leaf and become a new person after I get out."
[So you were waiting here. What a pleasant thought!] Nangong Jiu spit out milk bubbles.
Nangong Yunxue looked at him like a fool: "You have committed a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. Do you think we have the ability to save you?"
Li Yulin pounced on Nangong Yunxue.
"Xue'er, save me..."
