Chapter 266 There seems to be something urgent

Xiaoman ran all the way here, sweating profusely and breathing heavily, as if he had something urgent to do.

But he was panting so hard that he couldn't speak.

He hunched over, holding his chest, and took a long time to relax. After he had stopped panting so much, he spoke.

"It's Chuyang." Xiaoman wiped the sweat that couldn't be wiped away and said, "Chuyang somehow offended our prince and is being punished now."

"He felt that he was about to die and couldn't bear it any longer, so he secretly signaled me to beg the little princess to ask our highness to forgive him."

"Little princess, please help Chuyang. Chuyang is really miserable. After he made a mistake, he refused to eat or drink and knelt for two days and three nights. If he continues to kneel, he will surely die."

"Little Princess, His Highness listens to you the most. Now you are the only one who can save Chu Yang."

Xiaoman has been living with Chuyang day and night for these years, and they have developed some feelings for each other. Now that Chuyang has been punished and his life is hanging by a thread, he feels bad too.

He also helped to plead for mercy, but to no avail.

Dijiang remained unmoved.

Now he only hopes that the little princess can help say a few words.

The little princess's words will definitely be useful.

The person His Highness Dijiang cares about most in Western Chu is the little princess.

He listened to whatever the little princess said.

If the little princess pleads for Chu Yang, His Highness will definitely let Chu Yang go.

"Little princess, please save Chuyang?" Xiaoman begged, "Chuyang will definitely be very grateful to you."

Jiujiu exhaled and comforted: "Xiaoman, don't worry, I'll go with you to take a look."

"But I'm not sure if I can persuade Brother Dijiang to let Chuyang go."

Chu Yang was a close confidant of Brother Di Jiang. He was suddenly punished like this. He must have committed some unforgivable mistake in principle and angered Brother Di Jiang, which is why Brother Di Jiang took such a cruel approach.

In this situation, it would be difficult to persuade Brother Dijiang.

It's the same no matter who advises.

Jiujiu knew it clearly.

Therefore, Jiujiu made it clear to Xiaoman in advance to prevent Xiaoman from being disappointed.

Xiao Man said: "Little Princess, you just need to go and persuade our Highness."

"Don't worry about anything else."

Because Xiaoman dared to guarantee that as long as the little princess was willing to persuade, Chuyang would definitely be rescued.

The little princess doesn't have to worry that her persuasion is useless. If her persuasion is useless, then no one in the world will be able to persuade Dijiang.

"Well, let's go."

Jiujiu and Xiaoman walked towards Dijiang's current residence.

Di Jiang was no longer a hostage, so naturally he no longer lived in the hostage house. He moved to a courtyard near the princes' residence, named Furong Courtyard, and lived in the same area as the princes.

This proves that Emperor Zhaoning now treats him and the princes of Western Chu equally.

We are all princes.

It’s just that some are princes of Western Chu, and some are princes of the Southern Kingdom.

It was Jiujiu’s first time to come to Furong Garden. There were many flowers and plants planted in the garden, birds singing and flowers blooming, and two kittens running around. Jiujiu was so happy to see it.

Jiujiu immediately picked up a white kitten and touched it.

"Brother Dijiang's current residence is really nice!" Jiujiu praised.

"It's all thanks to the little princess." Xiaoman said, "The emperor also arranged such a good residence for your Highness because of the little princess."

【Father did a good job this time. 】

[He treated Brother Dijiang so well, and Brother Dijiang will also treat us Xichu well in the future. ]

【Very good.】

Jiujiu muttered to herself.

"Little princess, look over there."

“Chu Yang is kneeling there.”

Xiaoman pointed at Chuyang, who was kneeling in the middle of the yard, swaying and looking exhausted and about to faint.

When Jiujiu saw this, he quickly put down the cat in his hand and hurried to Chuyang.

Chu Yang's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and there were two dark circles under his eyes. He looked very disheveled and weak.

He knelt for a long time and was exposed to the sun for a long time. He had reached his limit.

At this moment, Jiujiu came over. His vision was blurred and he could not see people clearly. He felt like he was about to faint and was only holding on by a breath.

"What happened?" Jiujiu was anxious. "Why was he punished like this for no reason?"

"Chu Yang, how did you upset Brother Di Jiang?" Jiu Jiu asked: "Brother Di Jiang has always valued you and treated you well. He would not treat you like this for no reason."

“I…I…”

Chu Yang didn't know how to start. He lowered his head, clenched his fists weakly, and was unwilling to speak.

"Little princess, please don't ask any more questions. Just help me to ask His Highness for mercy."

"Tell His Highness that I know I was wrong and I am willing to change."

"All right!"

Jiujiu did not force it.

She looked at Chuyang and Xiaoman comfortingly, and signaled Xiaoman and Jinkui to take good care of Chuyang. She went alone to the study where Dijiang was studying.

As soon as he arrived at the study, before he even stepped into the study, Jiujiu felt a strong sense of oppression.

[He is indeed the hero who unified the world in the book. 】

[At only fourteen years old, he has already shown such a sharp edge, which makes people feel full of oppression. 】

【Jiujiu is a little scared.】

[Can Jiujiu persuade me? ]

Jiujiu wanted to turn around and leave. She wanted to go back and think carefully about how to persuade him and what to say. She would come back after she had thought it through and was sure that there was no risk of any error.

But as soon as Jiujiu turned around, Dijiang's voice came from the room.

"Jiujiu, since you are here, come in?" Dijiang was practicing calligraphy at the moment, but he had good ears. He heard the movement of Jiujiu outside and knew that Jiujiu was coming.

"oh!"

Jiujiu can't leave.

Jiujiu scratched the back of his head and went into the study.

The sharp and oppressive atmosphere in the study was heavier and more frightening.

Jiujiu took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Dijiang. The older Brother Dijiang got, the stronger the fierce aura he exuded.

Jiujiu was not afraid of Brother Dijiang, but was a little frightened of this aura.

Jiujiu felt that she was surrounded by this aura and even had difficulty breathing.

"Brother Dijiang's handwriting has improved again. It's really beautiful."

Jiujiu approached and started to flatter him in a relaxed manner.

She wanted to make Brother Dijiang feel better so that she could speak up for Chuyang.

"Jiujiu can't write such beautiful... no no no, words." Jiujiu's mind was confused for a moment and he stuttered.

Jiujiu coughed twice in embarrassment, "Brother Dijiang, um, um, Jiujiu didn't mean it just now."

"I know."

Dijiang seemed amused. He put down his pen and looked at Jiujiu with a chuckle, with a hint of doting in his smile.

His little girl has grown up a little, and the milky look on her face has disappeared a lot. She has a little more of the delicate beauty that a girl should have, and she is really beautiful.

"Brother Dijiang, Chuyang, who is kneeling outside the yard, looks very miserable. Can you please forgive him?" Jiujiu said.
