Chapter 41 Brother, does your knee still hurt?

Emperor Zhaoning suddenly woke up from his sleep, sweating profusely, with a look of fear on his face. His hands were shaking uncontrollably with fear, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.

Jiujiu who was standing next to him was awakened by the noise made by Emperor Zhaoning.

Jiujiu rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in confusion: "Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you have a nightmare?"

The little girl's soft and tender voice rang in Emperor Zhaoning's ears.

Emperor Zhaoning took a deep breath and looked at Jiujiu beside him. Seeing that Jiujiu was fine, especially her short legs, which were intact without any damage or blood. He finally returned to reality from his terrifying nightmare.

Luckily it was just a dream.

Emperor Zhaoning breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and held Jiujiu in his arms, holding her tightly, resting his chin on her little head, and said solemnly: "My Jiujiu must live a peaceful, healthy, smooth and worry-free life."

【What happened to my cheap dad today? 】

[Why are you saying these words all of a sudden? It's weird. ]

Jiujiu was puzzled, but nodded: "Yes."

"And your mother." Emperor Zhaoning was no longer sleepy. "Fu'an, come in and help me change my clothes."

He wanted to go to Qiu Shui Ju to see Concubine Li. Only when he saw that Concubine Li was fine, not injured, and her leg was not broken, would he feel at ease.

As for Jiujiu's suggestion of not letting the Southern Kingdom's hostage continue to kneel, Emperor Zhaoning completely gave in.

"Jiujiu, the Southern Country's hostage doesn't have to kneel anymore."

"We, the Western Chu State, are willing to demonstrate the demeanor of a great power. From now on, we will serve him with delicious food and drink."

The dream just now made Emperor Zhaoning understand that leaving room for others is also leaving room for oneself.

He would no longer treat the Southern Kingdom's hostages harshly, and he also hoped that the Southern Kingdom's hostages would one day leave room for Western Chu.

Moreover, after this dream, Emperor Zhaoning decided to attach importance to military generals and focus on developing the military strength of Western Chu.

Jiujiu felt that happiness came unexpectedly, and she was so shocked that she was no longer sleepy. "Thank you, father. Jiujiu will go find the Southern Kingdom's hostage now."

·

Jiujiu went to the quality inspection hall happily.

At this moment, besides the maids and nannies serving her, there was also a eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict to the hostage from the Southern Kingdom.

When the Southern Proton saw Jiujiu coming back, his eyes widened in surprise.

He looked at Jiujiu in disbelief, joy welling up in his heart, and all the negative and dark emotions such as hatred, resentment, anger, etc. that had arisen in his heart before were slowly disappearing.

The little princess did not lie to him or make fun of him, she really wanted to help him.

She is different from those who just watched the fire from the sidelines.

Dijiang was very grateful to Jiujiu.

but--

Dijiang didn't understand why there was suddenly a eunuch beside the little princess?

Judging from the clothes the eunuch is wearing, he is not an ordinary eunuch. He should be the one serving the emperor.

Why did he follow the little princess?

What is he here for?

It is true that the little princess was kind to him, but the same could not be said for the eunuch.

After all, the emperor of Western Chu hated the Southern Kingdom very much, and he hated the people of the Southern Kingdom as well.

Dijiang's emotions, which had finally calmed down, became tense again because of a eunuch.

Until the eunuch came forward and read the imperial edict.

Jiujiu personally helped Dijiang up.

"Would you please get up soon?"

"My father said that he would never let you kneel again. He also said that he would show the demeanor of our great country and serve you delicious food and drink."

Jiujiu first briefly stated the meaning of the imperial edict. At first, Dijiang didn't believe it, but after listening to the eunuch reading the imperial edict, he began to believe it.

It's true.

He doesn't have to kneel anymore.

He no longer has to go hungry anymore, he can eat his fill.

But why does all this feel so unreal? It's like a dream.

Dijiang stood up with mixed feelings of joy and worry, but because he had been kneeling for too long, his knees were injured. He was a little unsteady and almost fell down. Fortunately, Jiujiu came forward and let Dijiang support her small body.

Dijiang looked at Jiujiu Naihu and wanted to help him, but because of his height and strength, he could not do anything. He could only lean against him and let him support him. He felt a warm feeling in his heart when he saw him.

The little princess is really kind and beautiful, and is a ray of light in his bleak life.

"Thank you."

"No thanks! No thanks!" Jiujiu looked at her maid, "You two, go and get a doctor?"

"Yes, Princess."

The maid invited the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to check Dijiang's knee.

Jiujiu asked from the side: "Doctor, will this injury affect my normal walking? Will there be any sequelae?"

As the imperial physician applied ointment to Dijiang, he glanced at Jiujiu and said, "Little princess, do you know the term sequelae?"

"Oh, I heard it from someone."

"I see." The imperial physician smiled and said, "The proton's injuries look serious, but they are only superficial injuries. The root of the body is not damaged. He can recover and will not affect his walking. There will be no sequelae."

【That’s great.】

[As long as there are no sequelae, the proton will not seek revenge when he grows up and chop off everyone's legs. ]

The imperial physician also prescribed oral medicine for the proton, saying that the injury would be completely healed after taking it for two days.

Nanny Gui went to get the medicine personally.

Jiujiu continued to stay and look after Dijiang. Seeing Dijiang frowning, she asked, "Little brother, does your knee still hurt?"

"No." Di Jiang shook his head.

"Is that hunger?"

After Jiujiu asked, without waiting for Dijiang to answer, she ordered her maid to go to the imperial kitchen to get food.

Dijiang looked at her like a little adult, caring about him and making food for him, and he felt warm and suspicious in his heart.

The heartwarming thing is that after he grew up, there is finally someone who cares about him.

What was suspicious was that the little princess's concern was based on the permission of the Emperor of Western Chu. He did not doubt the little princess's kindness, but he doubted the Emperor of Western Chu.

He remembered that when he paid a visit to the Emperor of Western Chu before, the Emperor hated, despised and disliked him, and wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

How could he suddenly change his attitude?

Is it because of the little princess’s persuasion?

not necessarily.

The feud between Western Chu and Southern Kingdom cannot be settled by a little princess in just a few words.

The Emperor of Western Chu suddenly treated him so well. Could it be that he wanted to use the little princess to kill him?

Di Jiang was frightened by the thoughts in his mind. He took a deep breath, feeling uneasy.

When Jiujiu's maid brought the food, although he was very hungry and the food smelled delicious, he didn't dare to eat it because he didn't want to die.

He stared blankly at the table in front of him, filled with the food he had longed for and dreamed of eating, with a hint of frost in his eyes.

Jiujiu had no idea that Dijiang was in a foreign country, and was filled with fear, trepidation, anxiety, and alertness. She asked, "Why don't you eat?"

"Jiujiu just heard your stomach rumbling, you must be very hungry, right?"

"Eat quickly?"

Dijiang still didn't eat. He looked at the food in front of him and rubbed the wooden ring on his thumb. From the outside, it was a wooden ring, but from the inside, the ring was made of silver and could detect poison.
