Chapter 5 — After Conceding the Marriage, I Became a Royal Concubine

My heart jumped a little. We know what he said in the past. Before the new emperor ascends the throne, the Ky family will be implicated in an old case. Ky Hoan came to the border camp to save his life. It was also to give the Ky family a way out. I don't expose it. Just ask him:

“Is it dangerous?”

He looked at me:

“Yes.”

I nodded:

“So bring more medicine and thicker clothes.”

Ky Hoan suddenly laughed. That smile was very faint.

“Okay.”

Before Ky Hoan left the capital, Ky Duc came to find me. At that time, I was packing Ky Hoan's luggage. His belongings are very few. Two sets of clothes, an old sword, some books. I told A Uy to add some medicine and a check. Ky Duc stood outside the hospital door, watching me put the medicine package into my luggage.

“She treated him with kindness.”

I won't stop:

“He is my husband.”

Ky Duc's face stiffened. Previously, this title was reserved for him. He was silent for a moment then walked into the yard.

“Ah Thuy, we grew up together since we were kids, I know you're not that angry.”

I put the last medicine package in and tied the luggage tightly.

“What do you want to say?”

He frowned:

“Do you have to be such a stranger to me?”

I raised my eyes and looked at him:

“You and I should be strangers.”

Ky Duc was stunned. That young man, he really treated me very well. After I was punished by my father, I ran to the backyard to cry. Ky Duc climbed the wall and brought me a bag of roasted chestnuts. At that time I thought he was different from other people. Until the day of the palace banquet, Ngu Nhu's eyes turned red, so he took the arrow and threw it for her. The whole hall cheered. He turned his head to look at her. His gentle eyes were exactly the same as before when he gave me the chestnuts. At that moment, I immediately knew. He can treat anyone like that. As long as that person looks like they need him enough. Ky Duc lowered his voice:

"That day of the palace banquet, I handled it inappropriately."

I finished tying my luggage and gave it to A Uy.

“Your Highness should say these words to his eldest sister.”

His face finally changed.

“Ah Like, I'm not completely for her.”

Saying this, he himself stopped. Outside the hospital came the sound of footsteps. Ky Hoan has returned. He wore narrow sleeves and a sword at his waist. When he saw Ky Duc, his expression remained unchanged.

“Chief.”

Ky Duc looked at him:

“Are you leaving tomorrow?”

“Um.”

Ky Duc was silent for a moment.

"Border business is not like the capital. If you can't stand it, just write back."

This word sounds like concern, but still carries a bit of superiority. Ky Hoan received the luggage from A Uy's hand.

“I couldn't stand it anymore and said it.”

Ky Duc frowned. Perhaps this was the first time he discovered that this quiet subordinate was not as obedient as he thought. Ky Hoan didn't pay attention to him anymore, just looked at me.

“Let's go to the stables and take a look.”

I nodded:

“Remember to come back before dinner.”

“Okay.”

He replied very naturally, as if we had lived like that for many years. Ky Duc looked at his back, his expression slowly darkening.

“You two got close so quickly.”

I don't answer. Ky Duc suddenly asked:

“If there was no wedding that day, would you marry me?”

I thought for a moment:

“Will.”

His eyes lit up. I bowed my head and fixed my sleeve.

“So luckily that happened.”

The blood on Ky Duc's face immediately drained away.

After Ky Hoan arrived at the border camp, Ngu Nhu's life in Hau Phu was not at all peaceful. She originally thought that marrying Ky Duc would win ok me. But the Ky family is not the Ngu family. Mother could just change you and my hospital just because you coughed. Lady Ky does not. Initially, Ngu Nhu was sick and Ky Duc guarded her for several nights. After that, the middle management of the Marquis Palace needed her to study, Mrs. Ky needed her to receive guests, and Ky Duc also had to go to Lai Ministry to work. Her tears gradually were no longer enough. At a family dinner, Mrs. Ky said a few words because of an account, and her eyes turned red on the spot. Mrs. Ky's face became even colder.

"If the crown prince's wife only knows how to cry, from now on, the Marquis's accounts should be handed over to the second room."

The whole table was silent. Ngu Nhu suddenly raised her head to look at me. I'm bowing my head to drink soup. Ky Duc also looked over. In my previous life, he often said that I had a stable personality and kept the books without errors. But at that time I was his wife, it was natural for me to shoulder those things. Now we are only in the second room. Lady Ky's words made Ngu Nhu feel awkward and also made Ky Duc feel awkward. I put the bowl down.

"Mother, the second room also has work for the second room. The crown prince is intelligent, studying for a few days will be fine."

Ngu Nhu's face didn't get any better. Maybe she couldn't hear that I was relieving her. She could only hear the sarcasm in the words wisdom. Ky Duc looked at me again, his expression even more complicated. That night, Ngu Nhu had an argument in the hospital. A Uy went to cook to get hot water. When he came back to tell me, the prince's wife cried and asked him if he regretted it.
