The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 351 - 261: You Must Come Back With Me

"No." Jun Ning refused, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, it’s a holiday for reunion. Holidays for reunion should be spent with family. Brother, are you actually going to send me away?"

"I didn’t mean to send you away." The Crown Prince felt somewhat ashamed, "I know the Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday for reunion, a time for family to be together. But I think the Emperor also wants to reunite with you, so I want to send you back to reunite with the Emperor."

"The distance from Sairu City to the Imperial City is so far, by the time I get there, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be over. What reunion would there be then?" Jun Ning pouted, stating the plain truth.

The Crown Prince, upon seeing Jun Ning’s expression, couldn’t bear to continue the conversation.

Forget it, forget it, let’s discuss this another day. We’ll talk again in a couple of days.

The Crown Prince chatted with Jun Ning for a while, showed some concern for Jun Ning’s recent life, and then prepared to depart.

After Jun Ning saw the Crown Prince off, she continued to wait for her news.

She waited for a few days, grew increasingly anxious, almost to the point of madness. Yet, she still didn’t receive a reply from the leader.

However, two days later, she finally met with people sent by the leader.

The leader personally brought his people to see her, but was intercepted by the guards outside Sairu City’s palace and couldn’t get in. The guards realized they were looking for Jun Ning, so they came to inform her.

Jun Ning personally went out to greet them, and even before she reached them, she shouted joyfully, "Leader, you’ve come?"

The leader’s mood was good because Black Water Village had recently gotten water, and there were many more prey than before, so life was gradually improving for everyone. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

His mood was great, and he was naturally in high spirits, his whole demeanor was brightly animated.

Smiling, he replied, "Girl, I’ve arrived."

After some brief pleasantries, Jun Ning invited the leader to her private chamber to discuss the matter she had written about in her letter.

The leader was a straightforward person who understood gratitude. Even if Jun Ning didn’t mention the benefits she was willing to offer after the matter was settled, the leader would still be willing to help Jun Ning.

Jun Ning hoped the leader would help with was to assist Sairu City’s soldiers on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, protecting the people outside the city and, incidentally, eliminating the alien clan members mingling among the crowd.

For Sairu City’s soldiers, being used to peaceful lives, they might not be able to distinguish the alien clan members mingling among the crowd. However, Black Water Village’s people were different.

The people of Black Water Village were constantly preventing foreign invasions, and could easily recognize those with impure intentions, wandering eyes, and faces full of vigilance and calculation.

Arresting such people and eliminating them was not difficult for Black Water Village’s people.

The leader agreed and assured Jun Ning that Black Water Village’s forces could definitely eliminate the alien clan members hidden among the crowd.

A day’s work on the Mid-Autumn Festival was sufficient.

Although Jun Ning knew that if the leader said so, there would be no problem, she still sincerely bowed to the leader and said, "Leader, I entrust this matter to you."

"Girl, rest assured." The leader pounded his chest and promised, "The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I’ll lead Black Water Village’s soldiers to set out and lurk outside Sairu City. Once the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, I’ll act according to your instructions."

"Okay, we’ll exchange signals then." Jun Ning said, "Leader, if you are all prepared and ready to start acting, send me a red handkerchief. If you are not ready and need some time to buffer or need some help, send me a green handkerchief, and when I see it, I’ll send people to assist you in solving those problems."

"Okay." The leader accepted.

With this matter settled, Jun Ning ordered good wine and food to warmly entertain the leader, and gave him a silver note worth five thousand taels.

This money was Jun Ning’s own, and she gave it to the leader first.

However, the leader refused to accept it, not only refusing now but also even after accomplishing the task for Jun Ning, he wouldn’t want it.

He felt that everything he did was rightful, because without Jun Ning, there wouldn’t be the current Black Water Village.

Jun Ning didn’t insist, planning to devise a way to give this money to the leader after the task was accomplished.

After they were well fed and drunk, Jun Ning saw off the leader, sending him off a long way, all the way to the gates of Sairu City, where they reluctantly said goodbye.

On the way back to her private chamber, Jun Ning was contemplating whether she should open the city gates on the Mid-Autumn Festival when she ran into the annoying Eldest Prince.

The Eldest Prince interrogated her, "Annoying girl, where did you just go? Who was the person you left with?"

"Didn’t go anywhere." Jun Ning replied coldly.

Her voice was very cold, carrying a hint of dismissiveness.

It was evident that Jun Ning didn’t want to continue talking to the Eldest Prince and wanted to avoid him and focus on her own matters. But the Eldest Prince, with his muddled brain, couldn’t perceive Jun Ning’s dismissiveness and alienation, insisting on clinging to her.

He even dragged Jun Ning out of the carriage.

He questioned Jun Ning in the street, "What do you mean you didn’t go anywhere? Jun Ning, I’m telling you, I’m not your Brother Jiu, nor am I a three-year-old child. You can’t fool me."

"Then what?" Jun Ning asked speechlessly, "You can’t be fooled, what do you want?"

"Nothing." The Eldest Prince righteously said, "Just want to know the truth."

"Haha..." Jun Ning said, "Dream on, dreams have everything."

The Eldest Prince: "......"

"It’s okay if you don’t want to say, just come back with me to the Imperial City." Ever since the Eldest Prince received the Imperial Decree from Emperor Yongning urging them to return to the Imperial City, he’s been eager to take Jun Ning back.

Go back and resolve the accumulated matters from recent months.

Jun Ning refused, "I’m not going back."

"What did you say?" The Eldest Prince got angry, "Do you dare say it again?"

"Why, is it hard to understand? I said, I’m not going back." Jun Ning repeated, showing no regard for the fierce Eldest Prince.

The Eldest Prince, upon hearing such an answer, ground his teeth in frustration.

"Annoying girl, do you know how much being with you in this godforsaken place has delayed my affairs? Now, we can finally go back and handle those matters, and you dare say you’re not going back?"

"It’s not up to you to decide; today you must come with me, willing or not."

The Eldest Prince spoke, bending down to hoist Jun Ning, intending to take her away immediately, unwilling to even give a farewell to the Crown Prince and the others.

He placed Jun Ning on his horse’s back, nimbly jumped onto the horse, and swung the crop, urging the horse, "Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up..."
