ReplyDeleteLOL I thought ZC knew? Or rather realized? She never thought about it that way? I could have sworn... She had already realized who he was?? Well... LOL ZC can be so slow sometimes. Anyway it seems this younger sister is actually really smart hahaha ZC might have a problem... I think this younger sister is going to be on the winning end having brought upon his past guilt and hand fetish
Have fun on your break lol
No, she realized the truth about his plotting against herself and her baby but she always believed he had real feelings for the Queen. How would she have learned the truth? How many times has she said she admired his love for JB? She really believed the picture he drew for her. She believed like everyone else Jiang Sanyi and the Crown Prince schemed against him. Only Jiang Sanyi knew it was always MY
DeleteSo Ah Zou was having a baby girl. Ah Zou was blinded by this cute love she had towards that guy, her savior. But his just like all other novel emperors filled with lust and schemes. But he is also stupid being manipulated by his father in law.
ReplyDeleteI never even thought of Ah Zou with Daxi Qin, but OMG! Hopefully she could get her happily ever after with him. 🤞
