Qu Nian felt that this was really too difficult for her.
Having finally become human, I now worry about turning back into a dog, and there's no definite timeframe.
She was worried that her parents wouldn't accept it, and she was also worried that Ren Yingying would be wronged.
--I wonder if Dog Meat's soul has returned to its body yet. I hope nothing bad has happened to him, or Ren Yingying will be devastated.
"Father, Mother, there is one more extremely important matter that you must listen to me on."
"Go ahead and say it," Princess Consort Min said, indicating that she was willing to go through fire and water for her son.
She would do a thousand or ten thousand things if her son could come back.
"The reason I was able to come back this time," Qu Nian, having learned bad habits from Ren Yingying and lying with a straight face without even blinking, "Is mainly thanks to Yingying."
Princess Consort Min: "Yingying? Who is Yingying?"
Prince of Min was equally bewildered.
However, the mother was clearly more open-minded and understood her son better. Princess Consort Min quickly said happily, "Is she the woman you like? Bring her back for your mother to see. Don't worry about titles or anything like that. Your mother will take care of those things in the capital for you."
Perhaps during this time, my son's mind has wandered elsewhere, and he has had some unusual experiences.
She stated that she is a very open-minded mother.
--Mothers who have experienced their child's serious illness are all open-minded.
As long as my child is healthy and happy, I, as a mother, can give up everything else.
Qu Nian: You actually have this kind of mother.
How can you just get rid of someone so easily?
"Mother, Yingying is my Crown Prince's consort," he said solemnly.
Princess Consort Min: "You want her to be the Crown Prince's wife? Fine! Leave things in the capital to me!"
Qu Nian: "..."
Oh no, he wondered if his mother had also caught Ren Yingying's infection?
But I've never seen either of them before!
"Mother, what I mean is, the Crown Prince's wife in the capital is Yingying."
Princess Consort Min and her husband then realized what was happening.
Prince of Min, "I remember Huahua wrote a letter saying that she went to Liaodong to seek medical treatment for you, while your Crown Princess went to the Northwest?"
Princess Consort Min has no recollection of even that.
Qu Nian said, "Yes. This matter is complicated and requires a lot of explanation. In short, we are very grateful for Yingying's help."
Prince of Min: "Huahua didn't help at all?"
Princess Consort Min glared at him. "Is this the time to claim credit? Niannu's return is a great achievement for them all."
She didn't care how the Crown Princess helped; as long as her son approved, she approved.
"Niannu, are you worried that your mother will make things difficult for her later? No, she won't," said Princess Consort Min. "As long as you're happy, your mother will be happy. She's in the Northwest now? Your mother will send someone to bring her back right away. She'll be treated with the proper ceremonial regalia for the Crown Princess's travels, and she will absolutely not be treated unfairly."
Qu Nian: "No!"
Ren Yingying may look fierce, but she's actually a coward.
She is used to familiar environments and people, and if she is suddenly placed in an unfamiliar environment, she will feel very uncomfortable.
"Mother, I'm going to the Northwest to find her," Qu Nian said.
"That's fine, Mother will go with you too."
Qu Nian: "... You still have to stay here with Father King to guard Nanyue."
I'll stay with you!
Prince of Min: I'm so miserable.
"Mother," Qu Nian said, "I'm not going there for fun. I want to investigate why I'm like this. The secret is probably in the Northwest..."
Qu Nian tried hard to persuade his parents to let him go to the Northwest.
Everything else is fine, but I'm mainly worried about something going wrong with the Dog Meat. Ren Yingying can't handle such a blow.
He wanted to stay with her.
Since he can come back now, he will definitely be able to return to this body in the future.
However, he also told his parents not to worry if he became neither human nor dog again, and to just go to Prince of Jin.
Princess Consort Min was an extremely insightful woman and did not stop her son.
She had considered the worst-case scenario before, and she was already grateful for the current situation.
Prince of Min, "When are we leaving?"
Qu Nian dared not look her parents in the eye and lowered her head, saying, "Probably tomorrow."
The sooner the better.
He knew there would be other opportunities to fulfill his filial duties later, but he hoped to be there for Ren Yingying during the most difficult time.
Princess Consort Min said, "Alright, I'll have someone pack your things right away."
Prince of Min, "Take your Tiger and Leopard Battalion and leave."
Deeply moved, Qu Nian kowtowed and solemnly said, "Father, Mother, I will definitely bring Yingying back safely."
Princess Consort Min smiled and said, "I wouldn't mind if you brought back another grandson or granddaughter. Our family has too few children; it's too lonely."
Qu Nian: "Yes!"
He thought so too!
Seeing how lively the Prince of Jin's Residence was, he was not willing to be outdone and wanted to catch up and surpass him!
Yingying, let's not have too many children, five will be enough, just enough to keep Prince of Jin in check!
Ren Yingying: A dog?
Qu Nian couldn't help but remind his parents to keep a close eye on Qu Hua.
He was also grateful to his younger sister.
True friendship is revealed in times of adversity; Qu Hua did so much for him.
But that doesn't mean he can indulge her.
It's not that we can't tolerate it, but Qu Hua's hobby is just too morally reprehensible.
He considered asking his parents to keep a closer eye on Qu Hua.
Princess Consort Min tentatively asked, "Niannu, have you discovered something?"
Qu Nian: "It's nothing major, it's just that sometimes she seems to get a little too close to the guards around her."
Moreover, there's more than one.
Princess Consort Min: "So you knew too."
Qu Nian was shocked. "Father, Mother, you knew all along?"
If you know, why don't you do anything about it?
Princess Consort Min stated that it's not that she doesn't care, but that she can't.
Qu Nian wanted to give Qu Hua a beating again.
Princess Consort Min said, "Never mind, let her be. I only warned her not to have any relations with married men, but she said she considers married men unlucky and wouldn't take them even if offered."
What else could Princess Consort Min say?
Children are all debts; clearly, she owed quite a lot of debts in her past life.
Thinking about this, she felt fortunate that she had only given birth to two; if she had two more, she would probably have died young.
Qu Nian works hard to help Ren Yingying lie and build a good image for her in front of her parents.
Meanwhile, inside the Prince's mansion, Ren Yingying was weeping bitterly.
"Dog Meat, Dog Meat, you're finally awake! You scared your mother to death!"
Dog Meat opened his eyes, and upon hearing the familiar voice, his eyes were initially dull, but after a moment he suddenly became excited.
I finally saw my family!
It lunged forward, but the movement aggravated its wounds, causing it to scream in pain.
Ren Yingying quickly pressed it down. "Good son, good son, don't move. You're still injured, Mother will stay with you, Mother will stay here, I won't go anywhere!"
Hua Cha went to invite Tang Zhuyun over to re-dress and bandage the reopened wound of the Dog Meat.
Dog Meat kept rubbing its head against Ren Yingying's arm, not letting her leave for even a moment, otherwise it would have gone to find her no matter how much it hurt.
Ren Yingying's eyes were filled with tears.
This is truly my own son!
"There shouldn't be any major problems. Just take good care of yourself," Tang Zhuyun said.
She had it so tough, carefully adjusting the dosage of medicine meant for humans before giving it to Dog Meat. Thankfully, Dog Meat finally pulled through.
Tang Zhuyun's veterinary skills are now active.
"Your Highness!" came the voice of a maidservant greeting Prince of Jin from outside.
