Chapter 240: It's a bloody skull
It turned out to be a bloody skull.
Looks very fresh.
Still steaming.
It looks like it had just been taken off a living person's head.
Even though the Thirteenth Prince was at an age full of vigor and vitality, and had some blood in his bones, and was no longer as effeminate and silly as before, he was still stimulated by this sudden scene.
He was startled, and after he came to his senses, he hurriedly said, "Jiujiu, stop looking!"
“It’s not a good thing.”
"It's not for you to see."
It's too late.
Jiujiu has already seen it.
Jiujiu’s little face turned pale with fright.
Ahhh, what is that?
So scary!
Jiujiu pointed at the skull not far from him with trembling hands and said, "Big Brown Bear, do you have a grudge against me?"
Jiujiu was scared and started crying loudly. Her nose was running and she blew bubbles, which looked a little funny.
But Jiujiu's panic and fear were all real.
"Big brown bear, you dare to scare me with this scary thing?"
"How on earth have I offended you?"
"What do you say?"
"Why are you so impulsive?"
"Are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Oh my little heart!"
As Jiujiu spoke, he covered his chest and took a few deep breaths. Suddenly, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Yu Wanyin quickly caught Jiujiu and prevented him from falling to the ground.
The commotion on Jiujiu's side was quite loud, and it successfully attracted the prince and his entourage who were doing serious business.
The prince was very worried when he saw Jiujiu's appearance. He asked, "What happened? Why did you suddenly cry? And fainted?"
The prince took Jiujiu from Yu Wanyin's arms with heartache, put his cheek against Jiujiu's and checked her body temperature.
The temperature is normal!
So what happened?
The prince's two guards drew their swords from their waists and stood in front of the prince. Then they looked at the brown bear not far away with vigilance and said, "Your Highness, there is a brown bear over there. It's dangerous."
"There is a skull under the little princess' feet." Qingque guessed, "Could it be that the brown bear scared the little princess to death?"
Bai Yi was puzzled: "What is the brown bear going to do?" He paused, "Is it trying to harm the little princess?"
At this moment, the brown bear looked at Jiujiu dejectedly again, with deep self-blame in his eyes.
It thought that the little saint would be very happy after seeing the skull!
Unexpectedly, the little saint girl was frightened and fainted.
It's wrong.
There are several skulls under the brown bear's feet, which are the gifts it prepares for Jiujiu.
It also wants to string all these skulls together and make a toy for Jiujiu.
Now it seems, forget it!
The brown bear coyly hid the skull behind his back.
I dare not take it out again.
Its little action happened to catch the prince's eye, and he said, "They probably have no ill intentions."
The animals in this forest, no matter how big or small, have only respect and awe for Jiujiu and they will not harm Jiujiu.
The prince said: "This skull should have been thrown by the brown bear for Jiujiu to play with."
"The brown bear probably wanted to make Jiujiu happy, but it ended up doing the opposite and scared Jiujiu." What a stupid bear.
The prince shook his head and said, "I will carry Jiujiu to the tent to rest."
"Everyone, do what you need to do. Don't gather here."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the prince carried Jiujiu into the makeshift tent, the brown bear followed him. However, it felt that it had made a mistake and did not dare to get too close to Jiujiu. It just stood guard outside the tent carefully.
It does not attack people passing by it.
On the contrary, it was worried that the people around it would drive it away out of fear of it, so it lay on the ground in a weak posture, looking pitifully at the people passing by, with sparkling eyes. It looked very weak, and its flesh was delicate, not like a bear.
People passing by did not rush to catch the brown bear because they were afraid of angering it.
The prince didn't rush away either.
The prince felt that those bloody skulls were not that simple, so he investigated their origins.
After checking it out, he felt a chill.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the skull was actually the second prince of the Southern Kingdom, Di Yichuan?
Jiujiu had previously suggested that he let the beasts call out to the people who lured them over. At the time, he had not taken it seriously, thinking that the beasts might not necessarily listen to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was also angry, that's why she said that.
It may not have any effect.
Now it seems not.
The beasts listened to Jiujiu's words and treated those people well.
Those people are really miserable.
But he had no sympathy.
Because if it weren’t for Jiujiu, it would most likely be this large group of people from Xi Chu who would have ended up like this.
Now Di Yichuan is reaping the fruits of his own actions, which can be considered as retribution.
The big brown bear just stayed with Jiujiu like this, waiting for him to wake up.
After Jiujiu woke up, she had a big meal, and her stomach was so full that she could hardly stand up straight. However, the fear in her heart was suppressed.
Big brown bear, she also forgave him.
Children are children and there is no overnight grudge.
Jiujiu even played with the big brown bear.
The big brown bear was very happy. It carried Jiujiu on its back and ran around in the forest, looking very happy.
It also carried Jiujiu to meet its brothers and sisters.
Jiujiu is not only popular and well-received among humans, but also among animals. All the animals want to carry Jiujiu for fun.
This made the Tenth Prince, the Eleventh Prince, the Thirteenth Prince and their entourage extremely envious.
They also want to ride wild beasts!
But…the beast wouldn’t give in.

The Imperial Palace.
Emperor Zhaoning received two letters today.
One letter stated that the prince and his entourage had lived up to expectations and had found a huge gold mine.
Emperor Zhaoning was very happy. At the court meeting, he read the letter himself with a smile on his face.
The court officials were also very happy. They kept expressing their feelings that Western Chu had the blessing of its ancestors, had found the gold mine, and had hope for revival.
Emperor Zhaoning complained in his heart that it was his little girl, not his ancestor, who protected Western Chu.
The thing he was most proud of in his life was giving birth to a little girl named Jiujiu.
Without the little girl, there would be no Xichu today.
Emperor Zhaoning was happy.
But the next moment, Emperor Zhaoning was no longer happy, because the next letter was a family letter written by the prince and did not involve official business.
Emperor Zhaoning opened it and took a look. His expression became heavier the more he looked.
In the letter, the prince simply expressed his greetings and wrote about Jiujiu's recent news.
Jiujiu followed the prince and his party to Fuyang Mushan, and experienced several dangers...
When Emperor Zhaoning saw the words "several dangers", he could not bear to read any more. He held the letter in his hand, feeling flustered and terrified that something might happen to his little girl.
He hastily stuffed the letter into his sleeve and asked Fu'an to leave the court in a hurry.
The court officials were bewildered.
"What's going on?"
"Didn't they find a gold mine? Didn't they say something great is going to happen? Why does the emperor look so unhappy? Did something go wrong?"
Emperor Zhaoning entered the harem with a tense face to meet Concubine Jia.
Didn’t Concubine Jia say that Jiujiu went to Princess Anxin’s house to play?
How come you are in Mushan?
How many times has it been dangerous?
