Seeing the two of them again, there was an indescribable joy in Baili Hongzhuang's heart, but she didn't express it in front of Emperor Beichen.
Emperor Beichen noticed the pleasantly surprised expression on Baili Hongzhuang's face when she saw Heimu, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his dark and deep eyes.
Was this too enthusiastic?
Could it be that his wife liked this type of person?
"Miss Baili," Heimu's face showed remorse, "When the prince left, he entrusted me with your safety. I never expected that I would fail to protect you properly during the chaos caused by the demonic beasts, putting you in danger. I'm ashamed to face Miss Baili and the prince!"
Baili Hongzhuang was stunned. Under the reminder of the black-and-white furball earlier, she knew that someone had been following her all along.
Originally, she wanted to wait and see who was tracking her.
But then she realized that this person had been following her like a shadow, without making any harmful moves.
That was why she didn't expose the person, but she never expected it to be Heimu, who had been following her all along.
No wonder Emperor Beichen rushed over after the chaos caused by the demonic beasts. She had said that Emperor Beichen couldn't have known so quickly that she was in danger during the chaos.
So it was Heimu who told him.
A excited smile appeared on the little black furball's face. "Emperor Beichen must like the master, otherwise why would he ask Heimu to protect her? Heimu is Emperor Beichen's personal shadow guard!"
"I think so too. Otherwise, why would Emperor Beichen rush back so urgently?" Little White nodded in agreement.
Baili Hongzhuang listened to the conversation between Little Black and Little White, her mind filled with thoughts.
She naturally understood that Emperor Beichen had left Heimu by her side, indicating the extent of his concern for her, but...
"The previous chaos caused by the demonic beasts was sudden, so it's normal. You don't have to take it to heart," Baili Hongzhuang reassured him. It was a complete accident and beyond human control.
Heimu couldn't save himself in time, and she completely understood that.
Even if it was Heimu, wasn't she also helpless in such a critical moment?
It was already remarkable that Heimu could survive the chaos caused by the demonic beasts.
Hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words, Heimu felt even more guilty.
He hadn't been able to fulfill the task given by the young master properly, and Baili Hongzhuang was so understanding. He felt even more remorseful.
"Miss Baili, I promise that I will never let you be in danger again!" Heimu's expression was serious. This kind of mistake was enough once.
If there was a second time, he didn't need the young master to say it, he would go and die himself.
Emperor Beichen squinted his eyes as he observed the situation between Baili Hongzhuang and Heimu. Suddenly, he heard Heimu solemnly declare that he wouldn't let Baili Hongzhuang be in danger. Why did those words sound off?
It seemed that he needed to find someone else to protect Baili Hongzhuang in the future. He couldn't leave any threats behind.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly. "Heimu, you don't have to worry too much. Just take good care of Emperor Beichen."
Emperor Beichen waved his hand. "Heimu, since my wife has forgiven you, you can leave now."
Heimu nodded and turned to leave the room.
Baili Hongzhuang looked at Emperor Beichen, and a trace of gratitude passed through her eyes. She spoke slowly, "Thank you."
The sudden expression of gratitude caught Emperor Beichen off guard. A sunny smile appeared on his handsome face. "Taking care of you is something I should do."
