Don't assume that just because he says something outrageous, you have to respond accordingly.
He didn't know how much time he had left, but he knew that Qu Nian could be driven to his death by Ren Yingying at any moment.
Qu Nian: "Shut up!"
Although writing was difficult, he still managed to write out each and every single character!
Shut up, Prince of Jin!
You're a real dog!
The Prince of Jin was amused by his exasperated appearance and said slowly, "You should leave first; I'm busy."
Qu Nian: Is there nothing wrong with me coming to find you and get a fight?
He couldn't wait to become human!
So he patiently talked to the Prince of Jin, saying that the Prince of Jin was having a hard time and that it would be best to help him return to human form as soon as possible.
I will be magnanimous and forgive his current ridicule, and help him through this difficult time.
Prince of Jin: "What you've said is quite intriguing. The problem is, how can you change back?"
What if I lead you in the wrong direction by not giving you the right direction?
Qu Nian: "I already know, why would I ask you?"
He had given up on the dog system.
The answer is to make him love; as a dog, he's incapable of love!
Besides, Ren Yingying's character, even if he loved a dog, he couldn't love her!
Eight bright green hats are waiting!
Thinking of this, Qu Nian couldn't help but scratch the table with his claws.
He hates it!
The Prince of Jin said, "The men I sent to Nanyue came up empty-handed, but they haven't given up yet. If you have any ideas, I can give them a try for you."
Qu Nian was truly a tempting piece of meat.
The main issue is military power!
The Prince of Jin did not expect his family to fight for him, but it would be good to provide some protection, at least to restrain those who might want to take advantage of the situation.
For example, in the capital, it is now said that Consort De has adopted the Eighth Prince as her own.
Moreover, there is a strong call for Consort De to be made empress.
It's unclear whether this is another of the Emperor's considerations, or something else entirely.
In short, the Prince of Jin faced pressure from all sides.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Although it sounds noble and righteous, only those who wear the crown know the pain.
Qu Nian: "At least you've become a human being."
Although he couldn't be of much help, he was still satisfied with the Prince of Prince of Jin's attitude.
"If you need help, just ask," Qu Nian wrote awkwardly.
Prince of Jin: "How can I help? I can't bring myself to send dogs into battle; I'd be a laughingstock."
Qu Nian: "..."
I really want to scratch him. He has a human face but doesn't speak human language. He's just jealous!
"I can write a letter to my father," Qu Nian said. "I don't have to show up, but I just want my father and mother to know that I'm alright."
What to do about the handwriting?
"Just say you hurt your hand, and don't let them come looking for me."
Can you prove your identity?
"Nonsense. I was raised by my father and mother since I was a child."
He has so many loving memories with his parents.
Thinking about those things, Qu Nian almost burst into tears.
Father, Mother, I'm sorry, this is the only way I can comfort you for now.
They must have doubts and worries; but at the moment, Qu Nian can't think of a better idea.
The Prince of Jin seemed to be deep in thought.
Qu Nian's words were certainly well-intentioned, but if Prince of Min suspected himself of being the instigator, it would likely backfire.
This letter must be written; we still need to offer assistance. But how to write it is something he and Qu Nian will probably have to consider together.
Qu Nian jumped up. "I don't need you to discuss this with me!"
Will he let Prince of Jin know that when he was seven years old, he wet the bed for two consecutive nights, was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die, and that Princess Consort Min personally washed the sheets to cover it up for him?
Prince of Jin: "Are you sure you want to send this hastily drawn letter to Prince of Min?"
"... Sure!"
Since he injured his hand, can we just pretend he wrote it with his mouth?
Prince of Jin: "Whatever makes you happy."
Qu Nian: "I must tell my father and mother to divorce Ren Yingying!"
If a woman is a man's public image, then his face has been trampled and ravaged to the point of being unrecognizable!
This Ren Yingying!
The Prince of Jin said calmly, "That's a matter between you and your husband. Whatever makes you happy."
Qu Nian: "..."
Why the hell didn't you try to persuade me?!
Forget it, I won't show the letter to him anyway. I'll just cut this part out later, and the Prince of Jin won't know.
Qu Nian gave himself a way out.
The two of them—no, the man and the dog—started discussing serious business again.
Qu Nian asked seriously, "The situation is dangerous. What are your plans? Two tough battles ahead!"
Right now, we need to deal with the Zhou Family while also facing the crisis in the Xia Kingdom.
Even worse, there might be pressure from the capital.
The Prince of Prince of Jin remained calm. "If one tough battle can't solve the problem, then let's have another one."
He has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting tough battles and tackling difficult challenges.
His wife and children are his weakness, but this will allow him to develop stronger armor and sharper claws, sweeping away formidable enemies.
Although Qu Nian appeared unconvinced, he secretly held the Prince of Jin in high esteem.
-- Only people like this can be allies.
Be down-to-earth!
Unexpectedly, it was only after he was turned into a dog that he truly understood the Prince of Jin.
"Perhaps it's a case of 'a blessing in disguise'?" Qu Nian thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.
If he could turn back into a human, that would likely be a decisive factor in the future direction of the Prince of Min's Residence.
Good things come to those who wait. Qu Nian, believe in yourself, believe in tomorrow!
The dog started giving itself a pep talk.
"If you need anything, just say the word," Qu Nian said.
The Prince of Jin: "There is a very important matter at hand that I need your help with."
Qu Nian: Damn it, you're really not being polite.
But he also felt a surge of pride—even though he was a dog, he was a useful dog!
Prince of Jin had a discerning eye for dogs!
What did the Prince of Jin say?
Completely dumbfounded!
The Prince of Jin said, "You know my sister and Cui Run have been getting close lately. You're like a dog, coming and going as you please, no one will care. When it's convenient, go and see what Cui Run is like in private."
How a person behaves when no one is around is the most important thing.
Qu Nian: Is this some kind of insult?
He was a prince, all eager to do great things, and instead he was sent to eavesdrop?
I'm so angry! I resist!
He couldn't help but write, "Wake up! Mingzhu and Wu Zhenhai are better!"
The Prince of Jin knew where his phrase "better" came from.
Judging from Wu Zhenhai's previous display of "deep affection," if he were told that Zhou Xu was still alive, he might not necessarily turn against him.
With Wu Zhenhai's help, he could quickly sort out the intricate relationships within the Zhou Family, take control of the Zhou Family as soon as possible, and focus all his efforts on dealing with the crisis in the Xia Kingdom.
But the Prince of Jin refused.
Things hadn't reached the point where, without doing this, no one would survive, so he didn't want to sacrifice Mingzhu's lifelong happiness.
Are you absolutely certain you can handle everything?
"I'm not sure," said the Prince of Jin. "I know I'm just a mortal, and human strength has its limits, but if I have the ability, I'd rather take a longer, more circuitous route than sacrifice the Mingzhu."
"What about casualties? Mingzhu will be willing!"
A familiar perspective that prioritizes the overall situation.
Prince of Jin said calmly, "Do all the men in Prince of Min's Residence have to hide behind women?"
"Fart!"
"That's it," said the Prince of Jin. "We would have faced these problems even without Mingzhu; Mingzhu owes me nothing."
She was willing because she understood her brother; but he was unwilling because he felt sorry for his sister who had suffered so much.
She should strive for her own happiness, not become a shortcut for him to trample on.
