Chapter 344 The Greatest Luck is Meeting You

Jiujiu was preparing and boiling medicine at the moment. It was already late at night. Originally, she could do all these things tomorrow as Dijiang still had one day left. However, she wanted to detoxify Dijiang as soon as possible, so she did not delay.

At midnight, she prepared the medicine, then sat by the stove and watched it cook herself.

Dugu was still awake, so she came to visit him and advised him, "Jiujiu, go to bed. You can stay up tomorrow."

"Or, I can help you make the medicine."

As Dugu spoke, he looked at Jiujiu lovingly. The look in his eyes was similar to the one he gave Dijiang, full of the love that an elder has for a younger person.

This is what it means to love someone and love his dog!

"Lord Dugu, that's not necessary." Jiujiu said, "I can only feel at ease if I watch the medicine being boiled myself. If someone else does it, I'm worried that they won't be able to control the temperature properly."

"Besides, I'm worried that those assassins will catch up with us again, so I want to detoxify Brother Dijiang as soon as possible."

Speaking of assassins, Dugu Tianxin said worriedly: "This time, the assassins are coming with great force. Over the years, I have basically mastered the entire situation in the South Country, and no one can escape my pursuit. But this time, there are only a few assassins, but I can't catch them."

“You are so capable.”

"All I can do is send people to secretly guard this village and the imperial city to prevent the assassin from doing anything else."

"Who was the assassin?" Jiujiu asked with a frown.

Dugu Tianxin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Jiujiu. I will continue to investigate this matter. If I continue to investigate, there will definitely be results."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Prime Minister."

"good."

Jiujiu continued to boil the medicine. Dugu Tianxin saw that he could not help much, so he just talked to Jiujiu to prevent her from feeling bored, lonely and forgotten.

Jiujiu told Dugu a lot about Dijiang, especially how Dijiang lived in Western Chu back then. She talked the most.

After listening to this, Dugu Tianxin said thank you many times to Jiujiu.

Dugu Tianxin is a smart man. He learned a lot from Jiujiu's words. He knows that without Jiujiu, there would be no normal Dijiang today.

Many people who were sent to foreign countries as hostages were driven crazy.

He was glad that his Jiang'er met a good girl who had always taken care of him and helped him. This changed everything and allowed him to retain his warmth and humanity.

As the two talked, time passed bit by bit, and soon, the medicine was ready.

Jiujiu sank the medicine and went to feed it to Dijiang.

After Dijiang finished drinking the medicine and his pulse returned to normal, Jiujiu felt relieved. Jiujiu exhaled and fell asleep beside Dijiang's bed.

The next day, when Dijiang woke up, he saw the little girl lying beside him. There were faint dark circles under her eyes, and she didn't look as round as before, and her face was thinner.

She must be worried about him.

Di Jiang felt distressed. He stood up, carried Jiujiu to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and let her sleep well while he watched over her.

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding Jiujiu's hand, not letting go for a long time.

Hearing that there was a person kneeling outside, waiting to see him, he refused to see him. It was not until noon when Jiujiu woke up that the tension in his mind finally loosened. He hurried forward and hugged Jiujiu.

"You finally woke up."

Dijiang hugged Jiujiu tightly.

Jiujiu rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Dijiang, what time is it?"

"It's noon, are you hungry?"

Dijiang fed Jiujiu the warm porridge that he had prepared long ago. After feeding her, he wiped Jiujiu's mouth personally.

Jiujiu smiled and said, "Brother Dijiang, I'm glad you're well."

Dijiang smiled, hugged Jiujiu again, and said with some shame: "You must have spent a lot of energy to save me, right?" At her age, she should be innocent and carefree, not worrying about anything.

"As long as I can save Brother Dijiang, everything will be worth it."

"Jiujiu!" After hearing this, Dijiang felt warm in his heart. He had never felt so satisfied, happy, and full of gentle power in his heart as he did at this moment.

He murmured: "The greatest luck in my life is meeting you."

Jiujiu's heart moved and he wanted to say something when suddenly a hoarse roar came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg to see you."

"Who's outside?"

"It was Lord Hou Ruoan." Jiujiu said, "I was able to save you this time thanks to the thousand-year-old Jade Rong root. Lord Hou took out the thousand-year-old Jade Rong root because he saw you."

"Brother Dijiang, just go meet him! See what he says." Among the three adults, Jiujiu had the best impression of Hou Ruoan, so she said a few words on Hou Ruoan's behalf.

"good."

Di Jiang didn't want to see Hou Ruoan at first, but after hearing Jiujiu's words, he went to see him.

After meeting Hou Ruoan and hearing what Hou Ruoan said, Di Jiang pondered for a moment, and finally let bygones be bygones, and allowed Hou Ruoan to return to his post and continue to serve the court.

Dugu Tianxin asked him why, and he only said, "People who truly care about the people deserve another chance even if they make mistakes."

When Dugu Tianxin heard this, he had no objection.

After receiving the imperial edict, Hou Ruoan immediately went home to pack his things and prepare to go to the capital to perform his duties.

It's great that he can be reinstated even though he is old and his hair is grey.

His wish has come true.

He was very excited and very grateful to Jiujiu for bringing him to see His Majesty.

He gave all his collection of hallucinogenic and expensive incense to Jiujiu.

I heard that incense can be used as medicine, so let’s give it to Jiujiu and use it as medicine!

Jiujiu was very happy to receive the incense. After learning why Hou Ruoan used such incense, she admired Hou Ruoan's heart for the people that never faded away despite being imprisoned.

People who are persistent in their hearts are worthy of admiration.

When Hou Ruoan's good brothers heard that he had been reinstated and would soon return to Beijing to perform his duties, they were extremely envious.

"Brother Hou, how did you do it?"

"How did His Majesty forgive you?"

Zhou Yuanyou and Shi Ziyan both found Hou Ruoan and asked for an answer. They lowered their heads and looked very humble.

They also want to be reinstated and continue to live their previous glorious lives, but they don't know how to ask His Majesty to go back to their previous state.

They came to ask Hou Ruoan for advice and brought a lot of gifts, hoping that Hou Ruoan could give them some advice.

Hou Ruoan only told them two words, "sincerity".

In fact, the two of them did not quite understand the specific meaning of these two words, and they were worried about missing the opportunity to meet His Majesty and lose the opportunity to be reinstated. So when they got the answer, they hurried to see Di Jiang.

They sincerely expressed their desire to be reinstated and waited for Dijiang's reply.

As a result, he was severely beaten by Chu Yang, leaving him with a bruised face and almost dead.

"Why is this happening? Didn't they say that if you are sincere, you can be reinstated?"

"Hou Ruo'an has been reinstated, so why can't we? What went wrong?"
