What's more, not long after Twelve left, the strange tattoo on his chest appeared. It happened twice in a row, so it couldn't be a coincidence. 1357924?
Jiujiu was not a bashful woman. Since she liked him and he liked him, they should be a couple. Wasn't that right?
Jiujiu wasn't young anymore, and Twelve wasn't young either. The two of them should have been discussing marriage a long time ago, but because Jiujiu didn't want to get married, it was delayed. Now that Twelve had military achievements, he could be considered a person with status. Jiujiu was also willing to be with Twelve, so the Empress naturally didn't have an excuse to stop them from being together.
Because the Empress was anxious for Jiujiu to get married and have children, not long after Twelve came back, she directly held a wedding for Jiujiu.
And from then on, Twelve became the first imperial husband with real power.
And he must be the most loyal imperial husband to the Empress in history, even the one who was willing to be buried with the Empress after her death.
After the two got married, the Empress gave them a period of time off. After that, Jiujiu and Twelve lived a daily life in the imperial court, and because Jiujiu was married, the Empress began to prepare for the abdication of the throne.
The Empress did not have much attachment to the throne. If Jiujiu had not been married before, she would have already abdicated and taken her imperial husband to wander the world.
Now that Jiujiu had married Twelve, and Twelve was extremely loyal to Jiujiu, although Twelve's appearance was not presentable, the two were rare harmony, and Twelve had rare military talent, so the Empress turned a blind eye to it.
But now that Jiujiu was able to take charge, the Empress naturally would not sit on the throne and not come down.
Jiujiu was married for less than half a year, and the Empress announced her abdication. In the same month, Jiujiu ascended the throne, and Twelve was the first imperial husband to attend the court with the Empress.
At this moment.
Jun Jin, who had been betrothed to the Great General by the Empress, listened to the news about Jiujiu and Twelve from his personal attendant. His expression became even more ferocious, and his hand on the table clenched tightly. He didn't let go even when he smelled blood.
Why? Why did he have to see all of this after his rebirth?
Wasn't rebirth supposed to make it up to him? Why did he have to see the person who originally belonged to him abandon him?
His past life had been so miserable, so why did he have to torment him in this life?
Jun Jin lowered her eyelids. When she opened her eyes, there was no longer a trace of joy in her eyes. There was only hatred.
Since Jiujiu refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit and was unwilling to be with him, then she could not blame him for being heartless. In his previous life, he had almost killed Jiujiu, so in this life, he could definitely kill Jiujiu.
What he couldn't have, no one could.
This was Jun Jin's conclusion from her previous life.
If she had hardened her heart in her previous life, how could she have fallen to such a state? Wasn't that so?
Jun Jin thought about the last time the Empress asked her if she was willing to marry the Great General. At that time, his answer was no, but now.
Jun Jin lowered her eyes and said to the attendant expressionlessly, "Tell the Retired Emperor that I have agreed to her marriage."
The attendant was startled and looked at Jun Jin in confusion. But when he received Jun Jin's red eyes, he trembled and hurriedly lowered his head and left quickly.
Knowing that Jun Jin had agreed to her betrothal request, the Empress's guilty heart instantly felt much better. She hurriedly sent out the betrothal edict that she had prepared long ago. When Jiujiu found out about this, it was already the next day.
Hearing the Empress tell her about Jun Jin and the Great General's marriage with a smile, Jiujiu's brows immediately furrowed into a knot.
In her previous life, Jun Jin and Mu Qing were together and harmed Mu Qing's life. And now, she ignored Jun Jin's flattery. She didn't expect Jun Jin to agree to the Empress's marriage and be together with the Great General.
If not for Twelfth's participation, the Great General would have been the one who ended the war in her previous life.
Jiujiu naturally knew of the Great General's military talent, but because she knew, she hesitated.
Because the Great General was too outstanding, Jiujiu couldn't bear to let a scourge like Jun Jin harm the Great General.
Jiujiu frowned and said carefully, "Imperial Mother's marriage is a good thing, but Jun Jin and the Great General are not suitable."
"Not suitable?" The Empress's originally smiling face immediately darkened. She looked at Jiujiu with clear dissatisfaction, "San-er, you don't like Jun Jin. Imperial Mother understands, but now that I have given him to someone else, why are you still unhappy? Could it be that you still want to have two beauties in your arms? "
Thinking of this, the Empress's entire person became unwell.
Jiu Jiu's mouth twitched. She had only objected to Jun Jin, this scourge, but who knew that the Empress would actually think of this? Jiu Jiu was instantly speechless, and hurriedly explained, "Imperial Mother, what are you thinking of?"
"Since you don't want to have two beauties in your arms, why are Jun Jin and the Great General not suitable?" The Empress said slowly, "Although the Great General is a little older than Jun Jin, older women know how to dote on others. Furthermore, Jun Jin is handsome, and the Great General is a perfect match for you."
Jiujiu sighed and whispered into the Empress's ear, "I think that Jun Jin has a heart of evil."
"Heart of evil?"
Jiujiu nodded. Her expression was serious. She said to the Empress sincerely, "Otherwise, why do you think I have ignored him?"
"I thought it was because of Twelfth …" The Empress paused and asked doubtfully, "Could it not be?"
"Naturally, it is because of Twelfth. But other than Twelfth, it is because Jun Jin has a heart of evil. I suspect that he is involved with the enemy."
Jiu Jiu's words were not nonsense. Although Jun Jin was born and raised in the Great Zhao Kingdom, if one really counted, his ancestors were from the enemy country, and his father was a spy from the enemy country. If one had the heart to go to Jun Jin's study and carefully investigate, they would definitely be able to find a few letters with the enemy country.
Because the Empress had just ended a war with an enemy nation that had been in a stalemate for several years, the word 'enemy' was a taboo to the Empress. She thought about how Jun Jin had rushed over to Jiujiu the moment he appeared, and how Jiujiu was known to be the successor of the Great Zhao Kingdom. Furthermore, after knowing that there was no chance for him to be with Jiujiu, he had clearly been infatuated with Jiujiu before, but in the blink of an eye, he had agreed to her bestowment of marriage.
In fact, Jun Jin's actions were not wrong, but they had poked at the Empress's nerves.
If he really was infatuated with her, why would he marry someone else in the blink of an eye? If he didn't have a motive, then what was it?
Thinking of how important the Great General was to the Great Zhao Kingdom, the Empress's pity for Jun Jin immediately turned into vigilance. She looked at Jiujiu with a heavy sense of unease.
The Empress frowned and said in a low voice, "Third Son, do you have evidence?"
Jiujiu shook her head, "Not at the moment. But hasn't the hostage of the enemy already arrived at the hostage's residence? If Jun Jin really is involved with the enemy, he will definitely find a chance to take the hostage. "
"Then his marriage with the Great General?"
