Chapter 552 – The Road to Female Emperor Opens

　　For Li Chengqian’s words, Li Jiu was very convinced, but her eyes still showed deep worry.

　　”Jiu’er, listen to your father, first go and busy yourself, your mother that, aunts help you watch, go” Xia Ju saw Li Jiu is still very worried, walked up to hug Li Jiu, helped her to straighten the hair in front of her forehead and said to her.

　　”Uhm, thank you auntie, Jiu’er will listen to you, father, auntie, my mother is counting on you” said Li Jiu, kneeling down and kowtowing three times to Li Chengqian and the others, before turning around and leaving.

　　In the next few days, Li Jiu had been dealing with all kinds of things, but even so, she would take the time to come see her mother every day, even if Yang Yan’er didn’t see her even once, she would still come as scheduled.

　　”Mother, are you there? Can Jiu’er come in?” This day Li Jiu came again, she stood outside the door and called out.

　　”Come in” Originally today, Li Jiu still didn’t have any hope, just as she waited for a while and was about to leave, a voice came from inside, which made Li Jiu ecstatic and rushed in.

　　This just went in, Li Zhu has not yet opened her mouth, over there Yang Yan Er has already run over and grabbed Li Zhu’s ear and scolded there.

　　”Your dead girl, how can you not be like your big sister, let mother to save a little heart, when you went to lead the army to fight the mother has been worried to death, it is not easy to come back, you want to go, and still go to war overseas, when what empress, at home peacefully and steadily is not good?”

　　”Mother, pain, pain,” scolded Li Zhu, while covering his ears, while shouting pain there.

　　”Damn girl, you still know it hurts? I really want to beat you to death, so that I don’t have to worry, and your father also said, if you don’t want to go, we can not go, and your grandfather will not take a lot of life to say things, girl we can not go,” Yang Yan’er looked at the eyes of her second daughter who was crying out for pain, and said to her with a face full of anticipation.

　　”Mother, in the past it was my father and grandfather who wanted me to go, as for the reason my father and you said, but now it’s different, now I want to go, I want to go to realize the ideal in my heart, to build an empire where men and women are equal and even women are the main ones, and mother, think about it, if this thing is really done for your daughter, you don’t have to wait for my brother to be the emperor, you’ll be the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, isn’t this awesome” Li Jiu looked at her mother and said seriously.

　　”Dead girl, you give me a dead side, I don’t care to be this broken empress dowager, I am worried about you, if you really fight all the way, when can you get married, and if you really become the emperor, who is worthy of you, and who dares to marry you, you have thought about it,” said Yang Yan’er, she slapped her mother. Then she said to her worriedly.

　　”Mother, this is not urgent, I’m only a few years old, late marriage is also fine, mother, do not talk about these, we mother and mother talk about other things! Just like ………”

　　Hearing his mother talk about her marriage again, Li Zhu hurriedly changed the topic, and Yang Yan’er didn’t insist once she thought that her second daughter was about to leave, so she talked to Li Zhu about some other family matters.

　　And with Yang Yan’er’s consent, or compromise, Li Zhu spent the next few days under the favor of Yang Yan’er and others.

　　But such times were ultimately short-lived, and the moment of parting crept up.

　　On this day, Li Jiu woke up early, and after being helped by her mother and aunt to put on her battle armor, they went together to find Li Chengqian to say goodbye.

　　When they found Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was standing with his hands behind his back on one of the towering reefs on the seashore, looking at the already prepared warships, not knowing what he was thinking.

　　”You guys have come, so let’s accompany me to look at the early daylight on this seashore! If you want to see it again as a family in the future, I don’t know when you’ll have to wait” Hearing the voice, Li Chengqian turned around to see that it was Xia Ju and the girls, so he waved at them and said to them.

　　Hearing Li Chengqian’s words, they consciously stood beside Li Chengqian, waiting for the sunrise to rise from the sea.

　　The moment of waiting was always long, but when the red sun slowly rose from under the sea, the ten-thousand-foot light illuminated the sea and the sky so beautifully.

　　”Jyu-chan, go! Your soldiers are waiting for you, take them to fulfill your dream and build a kingdom that you have in mind, but remember, when you are tired and weary, come back, even if it’s just for one day, there are people at home waiting for you” When the red sun completely rose from the sea, Li Chengqian looked back at Li Jiu and said to her with full of deep feelings.

　　”Father, thank you, thank you for everything you have given me, Jiu’er will always remember your words and will always be your daughter, father, mother, aunt, take care of yourselves, Jiu’er is going” Hearing Li Chengqian’s words, Li Jiu’er shed tears from the corner of her eyes and rushed to Li Chengqian and Yang Yan’er, they knelt down and said to Li Chengqian, after saying that she rushed to Li Chengqian they even kowtowed a few times and then said to Li Chengqian that she would not come back. After kowtowing several times, she stood up with a determined look and walked towards the warship.

　　All this Li Chengqian they just watched without any extra words, until Li Jiu boarded the war ship, once again kneeled down and saluted at them, then after loudly ordering to set off, no matter it was Yang Yan’er as a mother or Li Chengqian they all shed tears.

　　”Alright, all don’t cry, after all, a fledgling eagle always has to leave its parents and fight alone in the sky, now that we are watching Jyu’er leave, we should be happy” In the end, Li Chengqian secretly wiped away his own tears, and held the four women who were still crying tightly in his own embrace and comforted them to.

　　”Hubby, we understand what you’re saying, but Jyu’er is a girl after all! I really don’t understand why she chose such a path, I still remember her stubborn and scared look when she first arrived at the Eastern Palace, I still can’t forget it” Xia Ju leaned in Li Chengqian’s embrace and said softly to Li Chengqian.

　　”Yes, Jyu’er was so small then, but now she has also grown up, has her own ideals and fights for them, isn’t that good? Well this seaside is windy, let’s go back first” Li Chengqian also said with great feeling, after that he took them back.

　　After sending Li Jiu away, Li Chengqian didn’t rush back to Chang’an, but waited there for more than ten days, and after getting the news of Li Jiu’s safe arrival from the East Japan, they sent a breath of relief, and then they departed back to Chang’an.

　　Of course, when he went back, Li Chengqian still instructed the commander of the Silla Mingwei to send the news from Li Zhu to Chang’an at the first time, and to do a good job of logistical support. Especially after Li Zhu got a firm foothold in the East Japan, he immediately sent the men and horses of the Mingwei over there to set up a good intelligence organization, and to transmit all the news about Li Zhu in real time, so that they could protect him to the death if he was in trouble.
