Chapter 6 — A Life Without Return

Amid the sound of ceremonies resounding everywhere, Lieu Van Ha's face also turned pale. She staggered to her knees, not daring to raise her head. Parents closed their eyes.

"It's a servant with blind eyes, insulting your highness. Please punish me, King Hue."

Vuong Hue just smirked.

“Are you just insulting the crown prince?”

Ky Thanh glared angrily and couldn't help but interrupt:

"That's right! Just now you humiliated your mother-in-law and Iron Sat like that, shouldn't you admit your mistake?"

The two words "mother meaning" made the surrounding air seem to freeze. Vuong Hue was originally the prince most favored by His Majesty. This time he went to To Chau and made a great achievement. There were also rumors that after returning, he would be ordained as Crown Prince. Hue Vuong Phi passed away from hemorrhage during childbirth many years ago. Now the little prince treats his mother differently than normal people, even Vuong Hue's attitude is somewhat difficult to say. Could it be... Everyone didn't dare to think anymore. A few ladies couldn't stand the pressure, regretted their previous words, and quickly knelt down to confess their sins. Lieu Van Ha was still arrogant and arrogant just now, now lying on the ground, not daring to say a word, only bowing her head very low. His father's fingers clenched tightly, the blue veins on the back of his hand bulging out. Apparently, when he admitted his mistake to Vuong Hue, his face was unsightly but still decisive. Now I have to bow my head before my mother, but it feels like half my life has been taken away. After a long time, the new person stiffly opened his mouth:

"It was me who was wrong. Minh Thu, please forgive me this time."

"Lord Qin has passed the ceremony. You and I no longer have a relationship. The two words Minh Thu are not what you should call me."

The mother coldly retracted her eyes and only spoke softly to Vuong Hue:

"Your Highness, today is the flower reward party for Princess Truong. Let's not spoil her mood."

The flower appreciation that day happened extremely strangely. Vuong Hue and Princess Truong sat in the upper seats. The other guests all smiled awkwardly, and at the same time implicitly stayed away from the three people of the Qin family. The princess didn't seem to notice at all. Not only was she close to her mother many times, she also patted her hand and said:

"Good child, last time Vuong Hue had an accident on the road, I heard that it was you who saved him and also helped take care of his little servant Thanh Nhi. Our royal family should thank you."

Everyone now knew that a few months before Vuong Hue arrived at the military border, he encountered bandits ambushing and assassinating him. At that time, the injured person hit a dangerous spot, bled non-stop, and had a high fever. That area is miserable, more than a hundred miles from the nearest town. I couldn't even find medicine, let alone a doctor. Fortunately, at that time, my mother was passing by with a caravan and just happened to bring precious medicine with her. Even though she later learned how dangerous the situation was that day, Princess Truong was still scared in her heart. She understood how much her royal brother valued Vuong Hue. If something happened to Vuong Hue, what would happen to the current court situation... She didn't dare to think anymore, so she changed the subject.

"It's just a cold border, why did Lady Co appear there at that time?"

The mother lowered her eyes and replied softly:

"It's just a coincidence. I went to Tay Vuc to find a medicine, but I didn't expect to meet the King. In the end, that medicine just happened to cure your illness."

“I know, I know! Finally Half of that medicine was given to the king's father, and the other half was given to a white-eyed wolf."

As soon as the mother finished speaking, Ky Thanh quickly interjected. He groaned indignantly:

“In addition to the constant fighting at the border, all year round there are also winds so strong that they almost tear the skin. My mother has to endure so much suffering because of such a white-eyed wolf, it's not worth it."

The people present here are all sharp-witted people. You don't need to guess who that white-eyed wolf is. That Lord Qin lived like a dead person for many years, even the royal physician in the palace was helpless. Why did a widowed cousin only take care of her for a few days before she woke up again? Thinking of the fact that the Queen tried her best to find precious medicine to save her husband's life, the Qin government put all the credit on a woman like Lieu Van Ha. This Lord Qin, along with the entire Qin Palace, truly has many things worth discussing. All kinds of eyes focused on the father. His face was gloomy, he picked up the cup of wine on the table and drank it. As a result, because I drank it too quickly, I choked and coughed. Lieu Van Ha picked up a towel and tried to help wipe it off, but someone waved her hand away. While I was still staring blankly, my mother picked up a piece of cinnamon flower cake and placed it in front of me.

“Don't you always want to eat cake? Just now, mother tasted it and it tasted very good.”

I took the cinnamon flower cake and took a bite, it was sweet and fragrant.

“Mom, I didn't mean to sneak out.”

If I hadn't sneaked out, this wouldn't have happened. It also won't cause trouble for the mother. Mother smiled and rubbed the top of my head.

“Mother does not blame me. Just be sure to notify me in advance next time. My uncle almost went crazy looking for me."

When the banquet ended, it was noon. The eldest princess held Hue Vuong back, not knowing what to tell her. Ky Thanh originally intended to return with me, but was called back by Princess Truong's maid. My mother and I left the garden, our uncle was waiting outside. The person's eyes were red. As soon as he picked me up, he used his bearded chin to rub my forehead.

“Threatened the uncle to death. Next time don't do that again, okay?"

I was about to nod, but out of the corner of my eye I saw my father and Lieu Van Ha's group also step out. Lieu Van Ha's gloomy eyes glanced over her mother, then fell on her uncle. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.

“I'm still wondering why Vuong Hue, who refused to disobey for many years, suddenly favors my sister. It turns out your sister's tricks are very clever."

"It's just that you seduced Vuong Hue and also had affairs with other men, aren't you afraid of angering the royal family?"

Pop! This slap was both fast and strong, the mother did not hold back at all.

“A crazy dog that bites people randomly needs to be taught properly. Is what you said right?”

“Co Minh Thu!”
