Chapter 5 — After He Let Go Of My Hand Again, He Regrets It

Nam Huyen glanced at Bui Ngoc standing next to me, his eyes carrying some deep meaning. He understood and smiled slightly.

“Okay, I will wait for you.”

After he left, Bui Ngoc's face immediately darkened.

"Who is he? Why does he call her Tinh Lan? Where do you intend to return?"

My expression returned to calm.

"He's an old friend from my hometown, called my nickname."

"So you haven't said anything yet, where do you want to go back to?" He held my hand tightly and asked.

“Bui Ngoc.”

Many years ago, I once again called him by his name.

"I want to stay here, I won't follow you back to the palace anymore."

Everything should stop here, everyone goes their separate ways, it's considered a good gathering and good dispersion. As soon as he finished speaking, the force in his hand suddenly increased, the pain was so much that I couldn't help but cry out.

“Let me go.”

“I no longer have feelings for you, Bui Ngoc.”

Under the moonlight, Bui Ngoc's eyes turned red, his face cold as iron.

“Tham Nhiet Tuyet, I will absolutely not let go of your hand.”

Because of last night, Bui Ngoc broke the rule and stayed in my room. Even with Lam Dung Dung's familiar chest pain, he did not come to visit, only sent the maid to take care of him. I don't know what he's crazy about. The whole night he hugged me tightly, as if he was holding on to something that would be lost if he let go. I couldn't get out, so I had to just leave him like that. I sighed in my heart, if I could use fairy magic then it would be good, getting rid of him would be a piece of cake. On the ninth day, when he woke up early in the morning, he suddenly said he wanted to return to the palace. I don't agree. His face immediately turned cold.

"In a palace of honor and wealth, delicious food and beautiful clothes, her status is so noble, why should she stay here?"

“I don't need those things.”

I replied coldly. When I was a mortal, I did not seek fame, fortune, or wealth. When the immortal position is restored, those things will not be worth a penny. Lam Dung Dung knew that I refused to return to the palace, so he stood up and advised me.

“If my sister gets angry and refuses to return to the palace because of the matter of establishing a queen, my sister is willing to give in for the sake of the emperor.”

“I just hope the emperor and his sister can return to the way they were before.”

She seemed reasonable, with just a few sentences she could easily blame me. I was a little surprised and raised my head to look at her. Even though I really don't care about the aftertaste, letting her casually throw dirty water on me is a different story.

"Dung Phi has thought too much. I'm not interested in the afterlife."

“You just keep doing it well.”

Bui Ngoc heard that and smiled coldly.

“Not interested?”

“In this world, there is no woman who doesn't want to be a queen.”

He looked at me curiously.

"Thing Tuyet, don't dream about things you shouldn't dream about."

"Also, she cannot stay here, she must return to the palace."

“As long as I have one day left, she will forever be mine.”

I just find him difficult to understand. To prevent me from leaving, he even sent someone to guard the door. Until I got on the carriage to return to the palace. But unexpectedly, before we got far from Yen Thanh, we encountered robbers. This time Bui Ngoc went out without many guards. The enemy had many people and quickly controlled and captured both me and Lam Dung Dung. When I woke up, my head was covered and in a trance I heard someone talking.

“Last time this bastard fell into the water but not dead yet.”

“This time I want you to definitely take her life.”

“Miss, you can rest assured, our subordinates will definitely work discreetly without revealing any loopholes.”

It turned out that this kidnapping was ordered by Lam Dung Dung. Her footsteps stopped right in front of me. A voice filled with resentment entered my ears.

“Tham Tich Tuyet, as long as you live one day, the emperor will never give me his full attention.”

“Only when you die will you no longer threaten my position.”

“Just wait and see, this time I will still win.”

She laughed coldly, then turned and left. I suddenly felt funny. She is already the person in Bui Ngoc's heart at the tip of her fingers, and will soon be crowned an extremely noble queen. Yet there is still bottomless greed. The desires of ordinary people can easily make people blind. Tomorrow is the last day. I have thought of many ways to leave my physical body. But being killed like this was truly unexpected. On the tenth day, when the light returned to our eyes, we saw Bui Ngoc standing opposite. The robbers made it clear that they were not allowed to bring anyone with them and could only bring the ransom money alone. He looked at me, just glanced at me very lightly, then looked worried and turned to Lam Dung Dung. The robbers took the ransom and shouted loudly.

“I will only release one of these two beauties. You choose someone to take away."

Bui Ngoc's face was dark, his voice was cold.

“I did as you requested and paid the ransom. Both must be released.”

The robbers laughed loudly, looking scornful on their faces.

“What I say here is the law. You don't choose, I'll take them both!

“Save me, I'm so scared.”
