Read The Emperor’s Bride :: Chapter 12.

I'm just finished writing my letter and it's currently evening. The sun will soon be set. I love when the sun sets it gives the garden a lovely glow so I usually go to the garden to watch it. So that is why I'm here in the garden currently. I sit on one of the benches, sipping my tea watch the sun go down. "It's dark now Empress we should head back". "Alright alright " I rise walking back my maid following behind me. I head back to my quarters.

"Hey get your filthy paws off me!!off me you cow !!!" It catches my attention. No one here should be raising their voice like that. I look back to the maid behind me " Do you know who that is?". " No sorry Empress I do not know" . My curiosity takes over and I make it over to where the voices are coming from. I get there to see,

Rougyu trying to apprehend some lady although she isn't going down with out a fight. But she looks like someone I know. Then she looks my way and I get a clear view of her face. "Stop" Rougyu stops immediately, but doesn't let go. "Empress im sorry you had to see this she was trying to go over to your quarters so I stopped her". " Meili? You know this oaf?" Yes this is Rougyu one of my guards. Let her go. "Empress?" "Let her go"I repeat. Rougyu let's her go. "Empress?" Yes? " Do you know who she is"? Yes this is.....

Sorry it's short 😅
