Chapter 213 Do you have the right to refuse to accept?
Jiujiu was nice to Dijiang before because Dijiang was the male protagonist and the one who would unify the world in the future.
Jiujiu was worried that Xi Chu would be destroyed by him, and that her beloved family would be hurt, suffer, and become homeless because of him, so she was nice to him.
But now it's different.
Unconsciously, Jiujiu was worried about Dijiang purely because of Dijiang himself.
Jiujiu hopes Dijiang is well.
If we dig deeper into the reason, it should be that Dijiang treats her very well, and she also wants to be good to Dijiang!
Feelings are mutual.
"Mom, don't stop me!"
"I must go."
"I'm fine. I can walk. I'm not that hypocritical."
Jiujiu is strong and stubborn.
Seeing this, Concubine Jia sighed several times in pain and did not try to stop him.
She realized that the more she tried to stop the girl, the more she resisted and the worse her expression became, so she might as well respect the girl's wishes.
"Okay, I'll let you go, but I'll accompany you, otherwise I'll be worried about you."
"Um."
The mother and daughter took a sedan chair to Delin Hall.
Jiujiu nestled in Concubine Jia's arms, her little face as pale as paper and a little weak.
Concubine Jia patted Jiujiu's back like coaxing a child, and told the palace servants: "Ask the kitchen to prepare some light food for the princess to eat when she comes back."
"Yes, madam."
"It's so hot out there, remember to give Old Thirteen a bowl of sour plum soup to cool him down."
"yes."
The palace maid took the order and went to work.
Concubine Jia and Jiujiu soon arrived at Delin Hall.
In the De Lin Palace, there are only the Southern Kingdom envoys headed by Emperor Chaoyang and Emperor Jiang Chuyang.
Di Chaoyang, relying on his large numbers, is now having Di Jiang arrested, preparing to teach him a lesson.
Di Jiang was forced to kneel on the ground, with his arms restrained, unable to resist.
His servant Chu Yang had been surrounded and beaten by Di Chaoyang's men, and was now covered in wounds.
It looks miserable!
But he still wanted to save Dijiang.
"Let go, let go of our Highness."
"You are not allowed to attack His Highness. He is a prince. How can you treat him like this?"
No one paid attention to Chuyang's words!
Di Chaoyang moved his wrist and punched Di Jiang hard in the chest.
Dijiang was only twelve years old, how could he withstand the punch of an eighteen-year-old?
He immediately suffered internal injuries and vomited blood.
"Prince? Haha, with someone like you, you're an abandoned child, and you still want to be a prince?"
"Are you still dreaming of the throne? Are you worthy of it, you bastard."
Di Chaoyang said, punching Di Jiang twice in succession, and said proudly: "I heard that the little princess of Xichu has always protected you, but today, she can't protect you anymore!"
"Today, you can only be beaten by me."
Just as he finished speaking, a childish but somewhat angry voice was heard outside Delin Palace.
"Asshole, stop it right here!"
It’s ninety-nine.
Jiujiu was led by Concubine Jia into Delin Hall.
Behind them, Emperor Zhaoning also came over.
However, Emperor Zhaoning did not come because of Dijiang. He went to see Jiujiu because he heard that Jiujiu had a stomachache.
But Jiujiu came to Delin Palace, so he could only chase after her.
Jiujiu saw Dijiang being beaten from a distance. She broke free from Concubine Jia's hand, and with red eyes, she hurriedly ran towards Dijiang.
When she got to Dijiang, she saw the bright red blood at the corner of his mouth. Her lips moved a few times, and she wanted to say something, but her eyes rolled back and she suddenly fainted.
“Ninety-nine…”
Dijiang was very worried when he saw Jiujiu fainted on the ground.
He struggled, trying to break free from the people who were holding her.
He was unable to break free with his hands just now, but now because of the arrival of Jiujiu and his group, Di Chaoyang's people became cautious, so he struggled free.
Dijiang hurried forward to help Jiujiu up. Seeing that Jiujiu looked very bad, he hurriedly said, "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"
What happened to Jiujiu?
Are you sick, and yet you still come to save him?
Definitely.
She thought that he would be targeted by Di Chaoyang today, so she dragged her sick body over to protect him.
"Jiujiu!" Dijiang said in his heart, "Do you know that even if Brother Dijiang was beaten half to death today and couldn't get up, I don't want you to drag your sick body to protect me. Brother Dijiang will feel bad."
"Silly girl!"
Dijiang looked at Jiujiu, his eyes sparkling.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Jiujiu just fainted." Imperial Concubine Jia stepped forward and said, "She will wake up soon."
“…”
Faint at blood?
So Jiujiu was irritated by the blood at the corner of his mouth?
Di Jiang hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. After wiping it, he asked Chu Yang to take a look. Is there any more?
Chu Yang had also been released and came in front of Di Jiang.
He took a closer look and said, "Your Highness, there is no blood at the corner of your mouth."
"But..." Di Jiang glanced at Chu Yang and said, "Why is there so much blood on your body? Hurry, go back and deal with it, don't stay here." It would be bad if Jiujiu was scared.
"Your Highness, you are so kind to me!" Chu Yang was moved.
Dijiang: “…”
You think a lot.
Chuyang is gone.
After taking a look at Dijiang, Concubine Jia signaled Dijiang to take good care of Jiujiu, and she would help him decide what to do next.
Dijiang: “…”
Jiujiu was very nice to him.
Jiujiu's mother was also very kind to him.
How could he have deserved the care and attention he couldn't even get in his home country, yet he actually received it in a foreign country?
Concubine Jia looked at the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom, Di Chaoyang, and said angrily, "How dare you, the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom, abuse private punishment in the hall where I, the Western Chu Kingdom, held a banquet, and even frightened the little princess to faint?"
"What crime should you be charged with?"
When asked what crime should be punished, Concubine Jia spoke in a very domineering manner!
She is worthy of being a royal concubine with the power to assist in managing the six palaces.
"I……"
Di Chaoyang was speechless because he felt guilty.
At this moment, Emperor Zhaoning also arrived.
He first looked at Jiujiu who was held by Dijiang. Seeing Dijiang was so worried about Jiujiu, he should have been relieved, relieved that Dijiang was grateful and understood Jiujiu's goodness.
But for some reason, when he looked at Dijiang, his eyes were full of Jiujiu, and he felt a little bad, inexplicably bad.
This bad mood made Emperor Zhaoning more serious and stern when handling things.
He said bluntly: "Southern Crown Prince Di Chaoyang, the banquet is over, why are you staying here instead of leaving?"
"How dare you abuse private punishment in my Western Chu Palace and scare my only daughter to faint?"
"Don't you take me, Xi Chu, seriously?"
"No, I..."
"I don't want to hear your explanation. Explanation is just a cover-up!" Emperor Zhaoning was very strong. "Imprison him immediately and wait for your punishment."
"Lock me in jail?" Emperor Chaoyang refused. He poked his chest with his hand and emphasized in a stern voice: "I am the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom. I am a crown prince, not a hostage. Emperor of Western Chu, how dare you lock me up?"
"I dare to do that. What? You don't accept it?"
"Yes, I don't accept it!"
"Oh, do you have the right to disobey?" Emperor Zhaoning sneered.
These words are so hurtful!
As the defeated party, the Southern Kingdom was unable to fulfill its obligations after the war, so it was already inferior and in the wrong, and needed to be cautious and behave itself. But now the Southern Kingdom's prince was still abusing private punishment in the Western Chu Palace, frightening the princess.
His crime is so serious that he has no right to refuse to accept the punishment.
