Chapter 7 — After Conceding the Marriage, I Became a Royal Concubine

10

Indeed, Ky Duc is not pure. The letters he passed back and forth with the royal palace were found in a secret compartment of the study room. Some letters are official duties, while others are related to the old dispute between the new emperor and the crown prince. Ky Duc knelt in front of Ky Hau, his face pale. Ngu Nhu cried and almost fainted.

“The prince was just blinded by people.”

No one answered her. Lady Ky hugged her chest, not even daring to look at Ky Duc. Ky Hau has aged a lot. He looked at Ky Hoan:

“Ah Hoan, is there any other way?”

Ky Hoan stood in the middle of the road, holding that stack of letters in his hand.

“Yes.”

Ky Duc suddenly raised his head. Ky Hoan pulled out a few envelopes from it.

"The elder brother only passed on information, and did not participate in the military weapons case. If you are willing to reveal who belongs to the royal palace, you can save your life."

Ngu Nhu immediately cried and shook her head.

“So what about the prince's future?”

Ky Hoan looked at her:

“Can live.”

Those two words fell, no one said anything on the street. In his previous life, Ky Duc could not even keep his life. Now being able to live is the way out. Ky Hoan uses his life in exchange. But Ngu Nhu still feels it's not enough. She looked at me:

“Ah Kieu, please advise my second brother.”

I calmly stood next to Ky Hoan.

“I advise against it.”

Tears fell from her eyes.

“Do you still blame me for stealing the crown prince?”

The eyes of the entire hall fell on him. Ky Duc's face became even whiter. Ky Hoan frowned. I look at Ngu Nhu. Until now, she still feels that everything revolves around winning or losing. She stole Ky Duc, which means she won. Now that Ky Duc is about to lose her future, she feels that I refuse to let her continue to win. I opened my mouth slightly:

“Sister, Ky Duc is not an item that can be won.”

Ngu Nhu was stunned.

"If you want it, take it, but if something happens, you'll cry. There is no such morality in the world."

Her face was pale. Mother is not here. No one immediately cleaned up the situation for her. Ky Duc suddenly became hoarse:

“Ngu Nhu, stop talking.”

Ngu Nhu looked at him in disbelief. He no longer protects her. No longer save her the last bit of dignity. Ky Duc revealed the people of the royal palace. Ky family is retained. But the crown prince's position is gone. Ky Marquis personally submitted his confession and took Ky Duc to the family temple to examine his guilt. Lady Ky fell ill after just one night. Ky Hoan was pushed out before everyone's eyes. The second son that no one took seriously before began to move in and out of the Military Department, accepting the old subordinates of the Ky family in the army. He is getting busier and busier. But no matter how late he returns to the palace, he will still come to my hospital to sit for a while. Sometimes just drink a cup of water. Sometimes I bring a package of wontons from Dong Street. I told him the pomegranates in the yard were ripe. He immediately ordered someone to pick it, wash it and put it on a white ceramic plate. One time he came back very late, his shirt still stuck to the cold dew outside the palace gate. I poured water for him. He sat down and suddenly said:

“Today Ky Duc came to find me.”

My hand stopped:

“What did he say?”

“He said he wanted to see her.”

I placed water before him:

“No see.”

Ky Hoan raised his eyes and looked at me.

“I answered the same.”

I laughed a little. He seriously added:

“If you want to meet, just tell me.”

I looked at him. He's always like that. Give me choices, don't make decisions for me, and don't use your kindness to force me. I sat down next to him:

“I don't want to see you.”

Ky Hoan nod:

“Okay.”

Ky Hoan followed the new emperor on an expedition in the spring of his third year. The king started an army, no one in the court dared to go. Ky Hoan accepts orders. I'll help him pack his luggage. This time it was even more dangerous than when he arrived at the border camp. A Uy secretly cried several times. Ky Hoan saw it and left her a bag of silver. A Uy cried even harder:

“What are you doing?”

Ky Hoan was a bit flustered:

“If you want to buy breakfast, buy it yourself.”

A Uy burst into tears. I stood next to him, watching and smiling. Ky Hoan looked at me:

“Don't you advise me?”

I stuffed healing medicine into my luggage.

“If you advise me, you won't go?”

He shook his head:

“Impossible.”

“So I don't advise.”

I finished tying my luggage and gave it to him.

"I'm in the capital waiting for you."

He took it, but did not immediately let go.

“A Kind.”

This is the first time he called me that. I raised my head to look at him. He said in a low voice:

“Wait until I get home, I'll take you to Dong Street to eat wontons.”

I smiled lightly:

“Okay.”

After Ky Hoan left, Ky Duc returned from the family temple once. He was much thinner and his whole body was more quiet than before. Ngu Nhu did not go with him. It is said that she returned to the Ngu family, crying every day, saying her whole life had been ruined. Mother sent someone to ask if I could help you say a few words to the Ky family. I returned a very short letter. I said, my words have no effect. Mother doesn't send letters anymore. Ky Duc met me in the corridor of the Marquis Palace and stood for a long time.

“Does he treat you well?”

I looked at him:

“Very good.”

He lowered his eyes and smiled a bit bitterly.

"In the past, I always felt that she had a stable personality and that marrying anyone would not be bad."
