The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

"To be patronizing?" The eldest prince frowned, "Jiujiu, who did you learn this from? If you learned it wrong, it should be to be patronizing."

"Brother, don't worry about this for now. Do you agree to what Jiujiu just said?" Jiujiu asked, blinking her big grape-like eyes, with anxiety hidden in her eyes.

Seeing Jiujiu like this, the eldest prince's heart, which had been hardened for more than ten years, instantly softened.

That's it.

Stop teasing her.

He nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to Jiujiu."

[That’s pretty much it. 】

[Jiujiu is satisfied, the little cousin is safe. 】

"Brother, if nothing happens, Jiujiu will resign."

Jiujiu is ready to go find Di Jiang.

She must change the outcome of Emperor Jiang's defeat of the Western Chu Kingdom.

As long as this can be changed, I believe that Xi Chu will be able to survive well with Cheap Dad's ability to govern the country now.

The eldest prince also said: "It's time for me to go back."

[Go back, go back, walk slowly without seeing me off. 】

Jiujiu waved his hand at the eldest prince and turned around to go to the place where the proton was being held.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince followed her again.

Jiujiu stopped and asked, "Brother, aren't you going back? Why are you still following Jiujiu?"

"Who said I followed you?" The eldest prince said seriously: "This is the only way. I haven't told you what you are following me for?"

"……Oh!"

Jiujiu felt that the eldest prince's words were reasonable, so he stretched out his little hand and made a gesture of inviting the elder brother first.

She wants to respect the old and love the young.

"..."

The respected eldest prince's mouth trembled and he was speechless.

Sincerity is indeed a surefire skill.

He was left speechless by the sincerity of a little baby.

"Brother, why don't you leave?"

The eldest prince actually didn't want to come. He also wanted to talk to Jiujiu, especially what happened at the palace banquet that day. He spoke rudely to the little girl, and he was worried that the little girl would have a bad impression of him.

He also wanted to eliminate the bad impression.

But now, it seemed like he had to go.

That's it.

There is ample time.

The eldest prince smiled bitterly and walked away.

·

After Jiujiu had lunch, he inquired around and found out where the proton was being held. The proton was held in the "proton hall" at the junction of the former court and the harem.

The "proton hall" is the place where the imperial court detained protons of all generations.

Jiujiu walked for a long time to get there, and his legs were sore.

But she didn't dare to stop and rest, but continued to move forward.

At the entrance of the hostage hall, Jiujiu was stopped by two guards with knives hanging from their waists. The guards refused to let Jiujiu enter and said that the hostage hall was a forbidden area.

When Jiujiu saw this, she took advantage of the fact that she was Emperor Zhaoning's favorite princess and the only princess. She started rolling around and making a fuss. The guards were worried that something had really happened to her and it would be hard to explain, so they compromised.

"That's all, just go in, princess."

"Brothers, cheer up and be sure to protect the princess."

Jiujiu: "That's pretty much it."

Jiujiu, Grandma Gui and the rest of the palace entered the hostel in a grand manner.

Aunt Gui and others were shocked by Jiujiu's ability to roll around.

They never expected that this could happen?

It's really awesome.

After Jiujiu entered the library, he looked at the layout inside.

This palace is no different from an ordinary palace. The courtyard is wide and there is one room, but there is air leakage from all sides, and the door creaks and shakes, as if it will fall over if you follow it.

As for what it looks like inside, Jiujiu doesn't know.

At this moment, Jiujiu only saw Nan Guozi Di Jiang kneeling in front of the room under the sun.

A very slender figure, exuding stubbornness and innocence.

Jiujiu stepped forward and asked, "Why are you kneeling here?" Who asked him to kneel?

Di Jiang did not answer, with an indifferent expression on his face, as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.

The guard on the side said: "Your Highness Princess, please stop asking. This southern hostage has been reduced to this. He has a very bad temper and won't say anything to anyone who asks."

"Then Princess asked you, who made him kneel here?"

"How long have you been kneeling?"

"It's the emperor! Don't you know, princess? The emperor said that what Nanguo did is too hateful. He wants to show Nanguo's power and make the hostage kneel for a month. Except for sleeping, he has to kneel every day. He has knelt for several times now. It’s been an hour.”

【Kneeling every day? If you have to kneel down for another month, wouldn’t that mean your legs will be damaged by kneeling down? 】

[I remember that in the book, Di Jiang had bad legs, especially his knees. Every time it was windy or rainy, he would suffer unbearable pain. I think it was because when Xi Chu was a hostage, his cheap father gave him a blow and he knelt for too long. 】

[The book does not describe the details of Proton’s torture, but it does describe the details of Proton’s final revenge. 】

[For example, the cheap dad who caused Proton to kneel down and break his legs ended up having his legs chopped off after Proton led his troops to defeat Xi Chu. The queen mother, empress, and several princes whom the cheap father valued also had their legs chopped off, and no one escaped. 】

[When Jiujiu was reading a book, he didn’t understand why Proton chopped off so many people’s legs. Now I understand, he is seeking revenge! 】

Jiujiu really doesn't want to see that happen.

Especially now that some things have changed. Among the people Cheap Daddy cares about are his mother and her, and they don't want to have their legs chopped off.

Jiujiu hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Proton's arm with his little arm, and said: "Get up quickly, stop kneeling, you will hurt your legs."

Di Jiang ignored him.

In other words, it is impossible to deal with.

The emperor of the Western Chu Kingdom told him to kneel here and kneel carefully, and he was not allowed to get up. If he got up casually, he would be killed with a stick.

He can't afford to risk his own life.

Jiujiu saw that she couldn't pull anyone away, so she looked at the guards beside her, "Why don't you come up and help me, princess?"

The guard shook his head in panic, "No, no, no, you guys don't dare! Your heads will fall off."

Jiujiu: "..."

"Princess, if you really don't want His Highness Proton to kneel, you can go to the Emperor. The Emperor loves you. If you can help Proton to speak up and avoid these punishments, the Emperor will definitely agree." The guard suggested to Jiujiu.

"Okay, I'll go find my father right now." Jiujiu said to Di Jiang, "Just wait, I'll be back."

After Jiujiu finished speaking, he trotted away.

Di Jiang ignored Jiujiu just now, but now, as he looked at Jiujiu's little back as he left, he suddenly felt some hope in his heart. The little princess didn't look like a bad person, and maybe she could really help him.

But after a moment, he raised his hand and slapped himself.

"What are you wishing for?"

"No one in this world will help you."

"Even if you kneel down and die here today, no one will care about you."

"They will only watch with cold eyes, and will only treat your sins and sufferings as gossip after dinner, and that little princess will be no exception, hehehe..."

Di Jiang was not favored when he was in the Southern Kingdom, and he was used to seeing people's cold eyes, so he did not dare to have hope in anyone, nor did he dare to trust anyone.

Even at this moment, the seeds of hatred suddenly sprouted in his heart.

He told himself that one day he would wash away today's shame with blood.
