Just as Gao Zong finished speaking, Yan Sui, who was standing behind Gao Zong, suddenly spoke.
Yan Sui's voice was not as coquettish as his extremely handsome face. Instead, it was as cold as a clear spring. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, Jiujiu could feel the strong chill in Yan Sui's voice.
"If His Majesty does not get what he wants, even if you are cut into pieces, it will not be able to overcome the disappointment in His Majesty's heart."
Yan Sui's words were particularly rude. It was as if in his eyes, Jiujiu was an ant on the ground that could be trampled on by anyone.
Hearing Yan Sui's words, Jiujiu's face was not as embarrassed as Yan Sui had expected. Instead, it was calm and indifferent. She did not panic at all because of Yan Sui's cold and malicious words.
Jiujiu pursed her dry lips due to lack of water and slowly curled the corners of her mouth. She smiled faintly and said, "Whether it is or not, we will know in a year's time. Your Highness, you must be anxious."
Yan Sui sneered and walked out from behind Gao Zong. His handsome face directly appeared in front of Jiujiu.
It was not obvious when he was standing behind Gao Zong, but now that he walked out, Jiujiu realized that Yan Sui was 1.85 meters tall. Even though Jiujiu was already 1.68 meters tall, she was like a little white rabbit standing in front of a ferocious tiger in front of Yan Sui who was 1.85 meters tall.
Yan Sui also realized this. He lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu with eyes full of mockery. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. He looked into Jiujiu's eyes and said, "What if I say that you will not get what you want?"
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "Life and death are up to fate. Riches and honor are up to the heavens. If Your Highness does not want me to get what I want, Xiao Jiu is willing to die as an apology."
Jiujiu's words were particularly straightforward, and her confident manner made Gao Zong believe her eighty percent.
Seeing that Yan Sui was about to clash with Jiujiu, Gao Zong hurriedly called Yan Sui back, saying that he had an important matter to attend to. After bringing Yan Sui back, Gao Zong quickly asked Eunuch Fu to send Jiujiu back.
Today, he had Fu Gonggong bring Jiujiu over. Many people had seen him. If news of Jiujiu's death came tomorrow, even if no one dared to express their dissatisfaction with him, the Emperor, it would still bring him a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Gaozong thought that if Yan Sui got married a year later, he would definitely ask Jiujiu to help him calculate when Yan Sui would have children and how many children he would have.
If Jiujiu had a conflict with Yan Sui now, with Yan Sui's character, even he would not be able to protect Jiujiu.
After Gao Zong and Yan Sui left, Fu Gonggong respectfully sent Jiujiu back. Not long after Fu Gonggong left, Gao Zong's rewards were sent in like flowing water. There were thousand-year-old ginseng, hundred-year-old ganoderma, and several boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry. However, Jiujiu had plenty of these things. When she saw the small box of gold leaves, her eyes lit up.
Although Jiujiu did not care much for gold, silver, and jewelry, she liked beautiful things. Although this gold leaf was only a thin piece, the veins and patterns were particularly clear. When placed in front of the candlelight, one could faintly see the candlelight. It was really exquisite.
Jiujiu played with a handful of gold leaves in her hand. Just as she was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, an unfamiliar presence appeared in the room. Jiujiu turned around and saw Yan Sui standing by the window.
Yan Sui was dressed in a red robe. The wind blowing in from the window caused his ink-black hair to flutter. It made his already bewitching face look as charming as an enchantress.
Looking at him, Yan Sui did not look like a fine young master in a chaotic world. Instead, he looked like a seductive enchantress.
Jiujiu was not surprised that Yan Sui would come to find her.
To put it nicely, Yan Sui was eccentric, but to put it bluntly, he was self-centered and could not tolerate any different opinions.
Jiujiu had directly refuted him today. With Yan Sui's temper, even if he let her go at that time, he would still come to find trouble with her in the future.
Jiujiu looked at Yan Sui and did not have the slightest intention of standing up to salute him. She sat boldly in the same spot, but the corners of her mouth curled into a beautiful arc. She said softly, "What brings the heir here so late at night?"
Yan Sui had thought that Jiujiu would be scared witless like everyone else when she saw him and would beg for mercy. Now that he saw Jiujiu's calm expression, Yan Sui's handsome eyebrows instantly knitted together. After a long time, he finally said, "You're not afraid of me?"
Jiujiu said, "The heir is human, and so am I. Why should I be afraid of the heir?"
Yan Sui had thought that Jiujiu would speak some great principles, but who knew that Jiujiu would actually say such a thing. Yan Sui choked and did not know how to respond.
His father was the Zhennan Wang, his mother was the Marquis's residence's legitimate daughter, and his grandfather was a high sect above everyone else. It was not appropriate to say that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Because in his eyes, gold was the most worthless thing.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he viewed money as dirt.
Since he was young, Yan Sui had always done things his own way. Since he was young, no one dared to disobey him. If there was, the grass on the grave would be half a person's height by now.
Therefore, Jiujiu who was the first to disobey him, oh, no, it should be Jiujiu who was the second to disobey him, was simply too daring. She was even more daring than that woman, because that woman did not know his identity. On the other hand, Jiujiu knew his identity from the beginning, but still dared to disobey him. She was indeed extraordinarily courageous.
Yan Sui walked over and sat opposite Jiujiu. Looking at Jiujiu's fair and almost feminine face, he opened his mouth and said with obvious malice in his tone, "Say, if His Majesty does not get what he wants after a year, do you think you will be cut into pieces by His Majesty?"
Speaking of the words "cut into pieces", Yan Sui's tone became a little more cheerful. As if thinking of that scene, Yan Sui's mouth, which was lowered because of anger just now, slowly curled up, and his expression was particularly carefree.
Jiujiu raised her eyes and glanced at Yan Sui, "Your Highness, you worry too much. Instead of fighting with a villain, it's better to be careful of the rotten peach blossoms around you."
"What did you say?" Yan Sui's expression changed slightly.
"Your Highness, do you still remember the woman you met in the shop?" After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at Yan Sui's face that suddenly changed color, and her heart was indescribably carefree.
Let's see if I don't scare him to death when he spoke rudely in front of me just now.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Sui's expression changed several times. After thinking for a long time, Yan Sui looked at Jiujiu with a murderous expression, "What do you want to say?"
"That woman is not someone else. She is Ouyang Pinting, the eldest daughter of Lord Ouyang's legal wife. Moreover, she deliberately disobeyed you when she knew that you are the heir of the Crown Prince."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, her expression was unfathomable.
Although Jiujiu only said half of her words, Yan Sui was very smart. Not to mention that he was almost brought up by Gao Zong, so he naturally guessed the meaning of Jiujiu's words.
