Chapter 249 Proton, please comfort the little princess!
"I can let you go."
Emperor Zhaoning was very happy.
Di Jiang nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He paused, "I will always remember your care over the years, and I will definitely repay you one day."
However, Emperor Zhaoning stood up and walked in front of Dijiang, patted Dijiang on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to say thank you."
After spending these years getting along with the people of Xichu, Dijiang has become somewhat familiar with them.
When Emperor Zhaoning patted Di Jiang on the shoulder, there was a sense of familiarity and tolerance from an elder towards a younger person.
Emperor Zhaoning continued, "Dijiang, as the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west."
"Xi Chu has helped you a lot over the years. I don't mind helping you one last time."
When Dijiang heard this, he looked puzzled.
Emperor Zhaoning looked at Dijiang and asked, "Are you sure you want to go back to the Southland now? Is now really the best time for you to go back?"
"I guess you already know about the inexplicable deaths of your brothers."
"You are still immature. When you return, can you really face those attacks and fights of life and death?"
Di Jiang also knew that the inexplicable deaths of several of his brothers seemed to be coincidences, but in fact, they were all deliberate murders by someone who was trying to clear obstacles for himself.
When he returns, he will inevitably face these things, he can't escape.
Unless you don't go back.
No one in Xichu is trying to make things difficult for him now. If he doesn't go back, he will be able to continue to grow his wings.
But if you don't go back, you may never be able to go back.
Now he has no choice at all. He must seize the opportunity in front of him and go back first, and then talk about those things when he gets back.
"I……"
Just as Dijiang was about to speak, Emperor Zhaoning interrupted him, "Dijiang, I know you are worried that you won't be able to go back in the future, so you want to seize this opportunity."
"How about this? I promise you that I will give you a chance to go back. As for when you use this opportunity, it is up to you to decide."
"And Xi Chu, whether you still want to stay and return to the Southland when you are fully grown is up to you to decide."
"Just consider this as my last help to you." Help Jiujiu as well.
When Emperor Zhaoning heard that Jiujiu had been crying because Dijiang was leaving, he became selfish and wanted to help Jiujiu keep Dijiang so that Jiujiu could be happier.
What Dijiang cares most about is whether he can return safely.
This is indeed a good opportunity that should not be missed, but it is not a good time.
Now that Emperor Zhaoning has promised to allow him to go back in the future, he can indeed consider it.
Dijiang was a smart man and he made a decision quickly.
He decided to stay in Xichu and bide his time until the future. He said, "Your Majesty, Dijiang is willing to stay for another three years and leave when he is fully grown."
"I hope the emperor will keep his promise then."
"My words are golden and I will not go back on my word." Emperor Zhaoning was happy. If this brat didn't leave, the little girl should not cry anymore, right?
Whenever she cried, he felt uncomfortable and wished he could present the whole world to her to please her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Dijiang took his leave.
·
Qiu Shui Residence.
After Dijiang left, Jiujiu hid in her bedroom and lay on the bed crying. No matter who tried to persuade her, it was of no use.
The little girl cried so sadly that her eyes were swollen and she couldn't open them. Her voice was hoarse from crying, but she just couldn't stop.
She kept crying.
I cried until the end and couldn't stop even if I wanted to.
She sobbed uncontrollably.
Nanny Gui and Jin Kui tried to coax her for a long time with all their heart, but it was no use.
Concubine Jia held Jiujiu and coaxed her for a while, and made all kinds of promises, but it was of no use.
Du Huahua was anxious watching from the side and wanted to go over and help coax Jiujiu.
Concubine Jia looked at the people and things that were worried about Jiujiu, shook her head, patted Jiujiu's back soothingly, and said, "Our Jiujiu is also a person who values friendship and loyalty."
"Over the years, Dijiang has treated Jiujiu better than all of her brothers, and he has been more attentive to her. I have seen it with my own eyes and understand it in my heart."
"Now Dijiang is leaving suddenly. Jiujiu is sad, and so is mother."
"Mother also understands Jiujiu's reluctance."
"Cry."
Concubine Jia simply stopped trying to persuade her and let Jiujiu cry. It was not good to keep emotions in her heart, and she would feel better after she finished crying.
"Mother, can Brother Dijiang... can he not leave?"
"Or, wait until Jiujiu grows up a little bit before leaving?"
"Don't be so sudden, okay?"
“Ninety-nine…Ninety-nine…”
Jiujiu was sobbing so hard that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
After stuttering for a long time, she managed to say: "Jiujiu really can't bear to leave. Jiujiu feels very stimulated."
This simple sentence broke Di Jiang's heart as he heard it outside the door.
His little sunshine, how could she cry like this?
He couldn't bear to do it.
"Your Highness? Aren't you going to leave? Why are you here suddenly?"
When Nanny Gui saw Dijiang, she covered her mouth in surprise, but a bit of hope appeared in her eyes. Now that the hostage had arrived, the little princess stopped crying.
"Brother Dijiang is here?"
Jiujiu wiped away tears in surprise, but the next moment, Jiujiu returned to her previous gloomy state, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Madame Gui, you are already so old, please stop lying to children." Jiujiu muttered, "Brother Dijiang has left and will never come back, so please stop lying to Jiujiu."
"..." Nanny Gui said, "I didn't lie."
"Jiujiu is really not a child anymore." Jiujiu said seriously, "Mammy, please don't lie to me, otherwise, I, I..."
Jiujiu's tears were getting more and more.
Seeing this, Nanny Gui didn't dare to continue to insist, even if she was telling the truth, for fear that it would make the little girl feel uncomfortable.
She looked at Dijiang for help.
Proton, please come up and coax the little princess!
Di Jiang gave Nanny Gui a reassuring look, and then he quickly walked towards Jiujiu.
He walked with the wind and his clothes fluttered.
"Ninety-nine?"
Dijiang called out with heartache.
"Brother Dijiang?"
Jiujiu raised her watery eyes in disbelief and looked at Dijiang.
"Brother Dijiang, you didn't leave? You...you really came back?" Jiujiu asked anxiously.
Di Jiang nodded, "Yes, I didn't leave, I came back."
"I won't leave anymore."
"Really?" Jiujiu couldn't believe it. "Could it be that Brother Dijiang was lying to me?"
"Brother Dijiang never lies to Jiujiu." Dijiang said, "Don't you believe Jiujiu?"
"I believe it, I believe it, I believe it." Jiujiu nodded like pounding garlic, "I believe everything Brother Dijiang says."
Upon seeing this, Concubine Jia hurriedly asked someone to bring some porridge and asked Dijiang to coax Jiujiu to eat some.
The little girl was so upset that she kept crying and refused to eat. No one could persuade her.
She is very worried.
After Jinkui brought the porridge, she handed it to Jiujiu, but Jiujiu refused to eat it. She looked at the porridge and shook her head like a rattle.
Dijiang took the porridge, stirred it a few times with a spoon, and prepared to feed it to Jiujiu. Will Jiujiu eat the porridge fed by Dijiang?
