"Looking for your father?" Uncle Niu frowned. "Why are you going to Shengjing to look for him instead of him coming here to pick you up?"
Any father with a brain would send someone to pick up his children, not to mention Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu, who were born to two beautiful children. This father was so careless that he wasn't afraid that his children would be abducted by others.
Uncle Niu, who originally only planned to send Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu to the capital, planned to go back after Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu met their father.
When he saw Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu's father, he must have a good talk with him. How could he be so careless? How could he let the two children go back to the capital by themselves?
Jiujiu, Wang Yiqiu, and Uncle Niu went to the capital.
Because Uncle Niu knew what happened to Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu, Uncle Niu was particularly concerned about the two children.
Nominally, he was in charge of driving the carriage, but he did the housekeeper and the servant girl's work. If it weren't for Jiujiu's insistence, Uncle Niu would have refused to accept Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu's money.
Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu were not very anxious, so Uncle Niu took the main road. Although it was a little slow, it was safer.
The closer they got to the capital, the worse Wang Yiqiu's mood became, especially on the night they were going to the capital the next day. Before going to bed that night, Wang Yiqiu did not sleep on the floor. Instead, he hugged a pillow and stood by the bed. He looked at Jiujiu and asked, "Jiujiu, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Along the way, Jiujiu slept on the bed and Wang Yiqiu slept on the floor. It was the first time that Wang Yiqiu took the initiative to ask to sleep together.
Looking at Wang Yiqiu's somewhat fragile eyes, Jiujiu's eyes flickered. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay."
After receiving Jiujiu's permission, Wang Yiqiu's eyes instantly lit up. Wang Yiqiu hugged a pillow and slept beside Jiujiu. His hands hung by his side in a very orderly manner. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and he whispered to Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, do you know? I'm actually the Eighth Prince. "
Jiujiu, who was twisting around to find a more comfortable place to sleep, froze the moment she heard Wang Yiqiu say that he was the Eighth Prince.
Although she had long known that Wang Yiqiu's identity was either rich or noble, she really did not expect him to be the Eighth Prince of the imperial court.
Jiujiu quickly recalled Erya's memories in Shengjing.
In Erya's memories, the Eighth Prince seemed to have died at a young age.
Looking at Wang Yiqiu and then recalling Erya's memories of the Eighth Prince's early death, Jiujiu was a little confused.
Moreover, the Eighth Prince of the imperial court was not staying in the imperial palace and living like a prince. It was really strange that he suddenly appeared in the deep mountains and forests.
Jiujiu was very curious. "Since you're the Eighth Prince, why did you appear in the deep mountains and forests?"
Jiujiu's question made Wang Yiqiu's eyes instantly fill with a layer of sadness.
Wang Yiqiu blinked his eyes and held back his urge to cry. He said softly, "When I was born, the Imperial Preceptor said that the True Dragon had descended to the world. My Imperial Father wanted to make me the Crown Prince, but on the day of my one-month birthday, the Imperial Preceptor suddenly said that my Imperial Father and I both had the fate of the True Dragon. If two dragons stopped together, one would be hurt. If he wanted to have the best of both worlds, he had to send me to Shengjing to raise me until I was eight years old. Therefore, after I was one month old, my Imperial Father secretly sent someone to send me out of Shengjing.
Because of the Imperial Preceptor's words, I was the thorn in the side of all the princes. During the eight years I was in Shengjing, I encountered countless assassinations. Especially in the years when I was about to turn eight, the assassinations became more frequent. Therefore, after I turned eight years old, my Imperial Father ordered the imperial bodyguards to immediately set off and bring me back to Shengjing. However, he did not expect that we would be ambushed halfway. The imperial bodyguards all died in order to protect me. I was also forced to fall off the cliff by the group of assassins. If it wasn't for a tree on the mountainside blocking the fall, I would have died.
Although I survived, it was difficult to walk in the mountains and forests. If I hadn't met you that day, I'm afraid I would have turned into a pile of bones. "
Hearing that Wang Yiqiu also survived because of a tree and connecting it to Erya's experience, Jiujiu couldn't help but touch Wang Yiqiu's head. "It's really hard for you."
Wang Yiqiu stubbornly shook his head. "It's not hard at all."
His experience this time was very tragic, but he had a father who loved him very much even though he couldn't see him. He also had those imperial bodyguards who sacrificed their lives to protect him. Even when he was on the verge of death, he still met the god-like Jiujiu. How could he be in a difficult situation?
His life was simply too good.
Seeing that Li Chen's attitude was so good, Jiujiu once again thought of Erya.
She was a silly girl who could still repay others with kindness even when she encountered difficulties.
That silly girl had suffered miserably all her life, but in the end, she still had kindness in her heart.
She couldn't help that silly girl Erya live a better life, so she would help Wang Yiqiu, who was similar to Erya, live a better life.
Jiujiu smiled. "Before you met me, how did you survive?"
Wang Yiqiu lowered his eyes. "In the afternoon, I would go outside to pick some wild fruits. Every time I ate some wild fruits to fill my stomach, and at night, I had to be on guard against wild beasts. In the afternoon, I would climb up a tree to sleep for a while."
Even if it was an ordinary person, they would be at a loss when faced with such a situation. However, for a noble young master like Wang Yiqiu to be able to react this way when faced with such a situation, it was truly rare.
If he really returned to the capital, he would definitely ascend to the throne.
When she thought of this, Jiujiu thought of the Imperial Noble Concubine and Prince Li of the First Rank. In order to obtain that position, they didn't hesitate to curry favor with the prime minister's daughter and even sent assassins to kill Erya.
Compared to killing them, the thing that would make them feel worse was definitely not to let them witness with their own eyes that the position they wanted the most didn't belong to them bit by bit.
What else could be faster than sending Wang Yiqiu back?
Jiujiu directly sat up on the bed and looked at Wang Yiqiu, who had a puzzled look on his face. "Since that's the case, I won't hide it from you. To be honest, I also know how to read fortunes."
Wang Yiqiu asked, "What do you know how to read fortunes?"
Jiujiu said, "I know that as long as you return to the capital, you will definitely be able to ascend to that position. I can help you ascend to that position and even secure it. However, you have to promise me one thing."
Wang Yiqiu, who was originally very attached to Jiujiu, heard that Jiujiu wanted him to promise her one thing. His eyes flickered and he asked, "What do you want in return?"
Even though Wang Yiqiu's thoughts were considered quite deep among children, he still seemed a little immature in front of Jiujiu.
Sensing the sudden change in Wang Yiqiu's mood, Jiujiu's lips curled up. "To be honest, the reason why I'm going to Shengjing is not because I have something to do there. It's because I have a grudge against the Imperial Noble Concubine and I want to take revenge.
Wang Yiqiu, I'll send you back to the capital and help you ascend to that position. However, you have to promise me that after everything is done, you have to help me kill the Imperial Noble Concubine. "
If the person who said this was an adult, Wang Yiqiu would definitely agree without hesitation. However, Jiujiu's appearance was too immature.
