Chapter 6 — A Wishful Life

"Your Highness is the proud son of heaven." I spoke up, my voice cold. "No matter which woman I marry, I will say that I got what I wanted." I paused for a moment and continued: "As for the past, if it's over, let it go. Your Highness the Crown Prince has never loved me, so why bother getting involved now? It's just making others laugh." "No!" Ta Duong immediately objected, His voice was extremely urgent. "I love you! A Nguyen, before... I thought I didn't love you, but later I understood, it was a vibration that I didn't recognize!" As if he wanted to prove something, he hastily added: "After she died, I executed Lac Chieu Nghi. I avenged her!" After listening, I just felt nauseous. That kind of deep, self-righteous sentiment is what makes people the most disgusting. I thought so, and said directly: "Actually, Your Highness only loves himself. Even if I marry you again, the outcome will still be the same as before. What you miss is just the appearance of me always obeying you, obeying you in everything, never causing more trouble for you." "Now you feel that I am different from before, just because you are not used to it." I looked at him, said every word clearly, exposing his fake appearance: "In the future, even if there is no Lac. Chieu Nghi, there will also be Vuong Chieu Nghi, Ly Chieu Nghi. Your harem will never lack people." Ta Duong's face gradually became pale. His lips moved slightly, whispering: "No..." But he couldn't say another rebuttal. Finally, he left with a troubled, lost soul. After Ta Duong left, my mother looked at me in surprise and suspicion, and said in a low voice: "Is your Royal Highness the Crown Prince really crazy? Running here and saying a bunch of words that have no beginning or end." Then, she again seemed to be joking, with some cautious probing: "A Nguyen, you... could it be that you really married the Crown Prince in your previous life?" Hearing the inquiry in her voice, I just smiled and gently brushed this matter aside: "In my previous life, What about this life? It's just some crazy words, do you even believe it?" At this point, my mother breathed a sigh of relief and didn't ask any more. 14But it seemed Ta Duong was completely immersed in it. He refused to marry any woman as a concubine, and was even so foolish that he asked someone from Kham Thien Giam to read the eight characters, and finally came to the conclusion that his family was rich and qualified to become a Crown Prince. But we are engaged. No matter how deep my blessings are, they no longer have anything to do with you. On the contrary, his series of wild actions completely angered His Majesty, causing His Majesty to only ban him in the Eastern Palace. Lately, Tieu Ky An has always been out and about, personally supervising the workers and preparing everything for our big wedding. Until this time, he did not know about the turmoil happening in the capital. He angrily walked back and forth in the room: "I knew that Ta Duong was a wife-loving person! A Nguyen's blessings were so deep, yet in my dreams he was still engraved with that weak, sick appearance!" "You must open your eyes, absolutely not let his sweet words deceive you!" I couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay. I don't trust him, I only trust you." At this point, Tieu Ky An was satisfied. The haze in his eyes dissipated, and a bright smile appeared once again. After that, the marriage between me and Tieu Ky An was smoothly held. The red page stretches ten miles long, and the phoenix mandarin's scarf shines brightly. He used the most solemn ceremony to welcome me into the door. When worshiping, he held my hand tightly, as if afraid I would run away. At the same time, Ta Duong was detained inside

Eastern palace. It wasn't until after we got married that he was released. The situation in the capital changed continuously. Just like in his previous life, His Majesty fell ill and his dragon's body became weaker and weaker. The princes, who had grown up a long time ago, could no longer restrain themselves and rose up to force the confession. In my previous life, Ta Duong and I faced these things together. I devised a plan for you, my father helped you stabilize the hearts of the people at court. So without wasting much effort, he quelled the rebellion and was crowned emperor. But this time there is no longer me. Ta Duong did a lot of wild actions. Not only was he unable to effectively suppress the rebellion of his brothers, on the contrary, because of his mishandling, he was scolded by His Majesty, who was sick. Many people in the court secretly observed the situation. The forces that supported him also began to fluctuate. This time, Ta Duong lost to the Third Prince. The palace gate was broken, the Eastern palace fell. The Queen left a secret route for Ta Duong to escape the city. That was the last retreat she prepared for her son. But when Ta Dang ran to the exit of the secret passage, he saw me holding a lamp, waiting quietly on the side of the road.
