Chapter 283: Staying for a Long Time
When she came, Jiang Shuyu already knew that Jiang Zhongming and the other two were discussing how to return to Dongling Country. Although they had been away from Dongli Country for so long, they also knew something about the situation in Dongli Country.
Although Xiao Jinrui has not proclaimed himself emperor yet, most of the power in Dongling Kingdom is already in his hands. You must know that most of their relatives and friends are now in Kyoto, so they naturally cannot confront Xiao Jinrui head-on. They can only use their wits to defeat him, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of their actions!
Seeing that Jiang Zhongming's temples had already turned gray in just a few days, Jiang Shuyu knew how much pressure they were under. Suppressing her worries, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhongming and said:
"Dad, I heard you were leaving tomorrow? If I hadn't come here today, you wouldn't have told me when you left, would you?"
Listening to Jiang Shuyu's words, Jiang Zhongming couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't know where Jiang Shuyu got the news from. Looking at Jiang Shuyu's silent accusation, Jiang Zhongming couldn't help but have his eyes flash slightly. He immediately looked at Xiao Jingchuan, hoping that he could come over and talk. After all, their return trip this time was extremely dangerous, and the road ahead was confusing. He would definitely not let Jiang Shuyu get involved.
Xiao Jingchuan looked at Jiang Zhongming's gaze and couldn't help but feel helpless. You know, they couldn't hide the fact that they were leaving this time from Jiang Shuyu, but General Jiang was not going to tell the truth, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jingchuan looked at Jiang Shuyu and said, "Now that the emperor's condition is unstable, I am going to go back with General Jiang first. You are weak now, so I want you to recuperate in Nanmo Country. After we return to Dongli Country and settle down, we will send someone to pick you up."
What Xiao Jingchuan didn't say was that even if they took Jiang Shuyu away with them at this time, Nangong Mo would probably not agree. After all, Nangong Mo had just found his daughter, so how could he let her go back with them and take risks!
Jiang Zhongming listened to Xiao Jingchuan's words and quickly agreed, "Your Highness Prince Jing is right. You are weak now, and it is really not suitable for you to travel by boat or carriage. Dad didn't tell you because he was concerned about your physical condition. After all, we have been sleeping in the open air all the way. If your illness affects the progress of the army, won't we be unable to explain to the soldiers then?"
Seeing the disappointment in Jiang Shuyu's eyes, Jiang Zhongming couldn't bear it. He said this for Jiang Shuyu's sake. After all, letting her stay in Nanmo Country was undoubtedly the safest. Feeling that what he said was a bit heavy, Jiang Zhongming couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuyu and continued to comfort her:
"If it weren't for the unstable situation in Dongling, we could have waited a while. But now that His Majesty is in poor health, it's really not appropriate for His Royal Highness Prince Jing to stay for long! Yu'er, do you understand Daddy's good intentions?"
Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when listening to Jiang Zhongming's words, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Zhongming. He didn't expect Jiang Zhongming to use both soft and hard tactics on Yu'er, but it was okay this way. After all, he didn't want Yu'er to take risks with him. If he were to face Yu'er, he was afraid it would be difficult to convince her.
Seeing the look Jiang Zhongming was giving him, Xiao Jingchuan quickly agreed:
"General Jiang is right. Don't worry, Yu'er. You should recuperate here first. Once you are fully recovered, you can go back. That way, we can feel more at ease!"
Jiang Shuyu watched the two of them trying their best to persuade each other, knowing that they must have made preparations this time. Although she was also worried about the situation in Dongli Kingdom, as her father said, if she followed them willfully, it would undoubtedly be a burden to them. She would rarely stay in Nanmo Kingdom in the future, so she should spend some time with her father and preserve their father-daughter relationship.
Seeing Jiang Zhongming's nervous look, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel helpless. He was afraid that she would disagree. However, since they had already made the interests clear, she would definitely not act on her own.
After thinking this through, Jiang Shuyu looked at the two of them and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll stay. After I recover, I'll go back to Dongli Kingdom!"
"That's right! My daughter is so considerate!" Jiang Zhongming felt relieved when he heard Jiang Shuyu agreed to stay. After they had lunch together, Jiang Shuyu immediately stood up and said goodbye to them as she thought about other things to do. After receiving their repeated assurances, Jiang Shuyu reluctantly left.

When Hua Leshi woke up slowly, her master was the only one in the room. Seeing her master right in front of her, Hua Leshi couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.
Seeing Hua Leshi's tearful face, Hua Shu hurriedly stepped forward and sat down in front of Hua Leshi's bed. Seeing Hua Shu beside her, Hua Leshi couldn't help but hold her tightly and cried softly as she looked at her:
"Master, I had a nightmare, a terrible nightmare. There was fire everywhere, and I felt like I was burned. I saw them struggling in the fire, and I wanted to save them, but I was powerless. I was so sad! Master... woooo"
This was the first time Hua Shu saw Hua Leshi crying so sadly. Perhaps this was related to her automatically blocked memory. When she first saw Hua Leshi, she had already lost her memory. Seeing her dying and ragged appearance, she felt pity and took her back immediately.
Although her life was saved, she was like a walking corpse for a long time, immersed in sadness. Later, she seemed to have been reborn and came back to life. Her appearance in front of him made Hua Shu see the helpless little girl again.
Seeing Hua Leshi crying and sobbing, Hua Shu's eyes were filled with pity. He patted her back gently and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. It was just a nightmare. Now that you've woken up, everything has disappeared. You are still the carefree Hua Leshi!"
Listening to Hua Shu's comfort, Hua Leshi couldn't help crying even harder. Thinking of the scene that had been lingering in her mind, Hua Leshi looked at Hua Shu with tears in her eyes and said, "No, this is true, Master. I remember it now. I remember everything. They have all been buried in the sea of fire. I will never see them again! Woo woo..."
The room was filled with Hua Leshi's sadness. Jiang Shuyu and the others were outside listening to Hua Leshi's heartbroken crying, their eyes full of pity.
