She had calculated all the unstable factors, but who would have thought that Twelve was so ugly that Jiujiu would fall in love with him? Thinking of what Jun Jin said about Jiujiu saying Twelve was her fiancé, the Empress was so angry that her nose almost became crooked. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here directly with Jun Jin. 1357924?
If Jiujiu really married Twelve, then she would become the laughingstock of the world.
There were so many good men for her to choose from, but she didn't want any of them and chose the ugly one. Who would feel good in her heart?
Seeing that Jiujiu didn't know her mistake, the Empress directly put all the blame on Twelve.
Her third son was so well-behaved and sensible, and he didn't know about the relationship between men and women. Even now, he didn't think about finding a husband. How could he fall in love with Twelve?
Thinking of this, the Empress's originally calm face became even uglier. Looking at Twelve's eyes, she said unhappily, "Twelve, do you know your mistake?"
Twelve hurriedly knelt down and said in a low voice without a trace of emotion, "I know my mistake."
"Since you know your mistake, then come back with me in a while. I will send someone else to protect my third son."
"Yes," Twelve said and got up to leave.
Jiujiu came back to her senses and didn't wait for Twelve to leave. She grabbed his arm and looked sideways at the Empress. "Mother, what is the meaning of this?"
The Empress's face was gloomy. "You still want to protect him?"
"I don't want to protect Twelve, but mother, you let me know what crime Twelve committed. I am used to being protected by Twelve. If you want Twelve to leave, then don't let anyone else come."
"Presumptuous?" The Empress slammed the table and said angrily, "He is just a little shadow guard. Is he worthy of being called out by you?"
Jiujiu pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but the thoughts in her heart were clear.
Queen opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say a word. After a long time, she glared at Twelve and walked away.
Jun Jin hadn't thought that Jiujiu would actually fall out with the Empress because of Twelve. For a moment, she actually didn't know what to say. After looking longingly at Jiujiu, she hurriedly followed behind the Empress and left.
After the Empress left with Jun Jin, Jiujiu held Twelve's hand and said softly, "Twelve, don't worry. I won't let you leave me."
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Twelve's eyes flickered. He lowered his head to look at Jiujiu's delicate little face and stubbornly pursed lips. He nodded and silently stood behind Jiujiu.
The Empress left Jiujiu's study room and let out a long sigh. She looked at Jun Jin who was following behind her and said in a low voice, "It's been hard on you, child."
Jun Jin looked down and obediently replied, "Jin 'er doesn't feel bad. As long as Your Highness is happy, it's fine."
The Empress saw that Jun Jin was clearly wronged, but still looked as if she was thinking for Jiujiu's sake. In her heart, she pitied Jun Jin even more and wanted to separate Jiujiu from Twelve even more.
It was one thing for Twelve to be born lowly, but he was ugly and speechless. From his hair to his heels, there was no part of him that was worthy of Jiujiu. She couldn't just stand by and watch Jiujiu and Twelve be together. Absolutely not.
At night.
Jiujiu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Although the Empress didn't say anything today, how could she not see that it was Jun Jin who had spread the news? Thinking of Jun Jin's strange behavior, Jiujiu found it even harder to sleep.
In Mu Qing's memory, Jun Jin was an existence that avoided her like the plague. Usually, Mu Qing had to say ten sentences to Jun Jin before Jun Jin would reluctantly answer one sentence. But now.
Not only did Jun Jin chase after her to eat with her, but she also asked the Empress to separate her and Twelve. It wasn't that Jiujiu was narcissistic, but this situation looked like Jun Jin had fallen in love with her.
Could it be as Twelve said, that Jun Jin had fallen in love with her?
But clearly in Mu Qing's memory, Jun Jin didn't like her at all. In fact, Jun Jin even hated her. Why did things go in a different direction this time?
Because of Jun Jin, Jiujiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
And in a place where Jiujiu couldn't see, Twelve was the same.
He sat in the corner and watched Jiujiu tossing and turning in the quilt like a little puppy. It wasn't until dawn came that Jiujiu fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, Twelve didn't wake Jiujiu up like before. Instead, he said a few words to the shadow guard who came to replace him. Finally, he took a deep look at Jiujiu before leaving.
He was the hidden guard that protected Jiujiu, and also the hidden guard that belonged to the Empress. The Empress had asked him to leave. Although he did not leave yesterday, the person who replaced him had come today, so he had to leave.
But thinking of Jiujiu's face, a trace of sadness flashed through Twelve's eyes.
Probably because she slept late last night, Jiujiu didn't wake up until evening. The first thing she said when she woke up was to call Twelve.
She clearly asked Twelve to wake her up in the morning last night. Why didn't he wake her up at this time?
Jiujiu blinked her beautiful big eyes, wondering if she could use this reason to get Twelve to marry her.
She thought about it all last night.
Jiujiu still didn't understand why Jun Jin wanted to be with her, but since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to think about it. After all, there would always be a way out. Sooner or later, she would find out why Jun Jin was acting so strangely. The most important thing now was to get the Empress to agree to her being with Twelve.
But to Jiujiu's confusion, she called for a long time, but Twelve didn't appear.
Jiujiu's beautiful little eyebrows frowned slightly.
In the past, Twelve would come out as soon as she called. Why didn't he come out today? Was Twelve sick?
Jiujiu called again tentatively, and then saw a man wearing the same black clothes as Twelve appear in the dark. His voice was low and respectful: "Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
Jiujiu frowned: "Where is Twelve?"
"Your Highness, Twelve is on a mission. Now I am responsible for your safety."
Jiujiu frowned: "On a mission?"
"Yes, Your Highness, do you have any other orders?"
"Who are you?"
"I am Fifteen."
"Fifteen?" Jiujiu lowered her eyes: "Did Twelve say when he would come back?"
"Well! I don't know. "
"Go back." Jiujiu smiled sarcastically. She thought that Twelve would not leave after she refuted the Empress's words yesterday, but she didn't expect that Twelve's not leaving was just delaying the deadline.
Jiujiu didn't believe what Fifteen said about the mission at all. She didn't even believe the punctuation. The so-called mission was just leaving her side.
Jiujiu lowered her eyes.
The next day, Jiujiu didn't ask the Empress about Twelve, and the Empress didn't mention Twelve. The two seemed to have tacitly forgotten Twelve.
Except for Jun Jin, who appeared from time to time to remind Jiujiu, Twelve really existed.
In fact, Jiujiu didn't understand.
