Chapter 5 — As soon as I left, he immediately closed the entire city

Trieu Van was full of self-pity and said:

"Tieu Le, you've been in a coma for three days, and your husband has never come to look for you."

"He also collected a lot of snowman and scar treatment medicine and quietly brought it to the palace of Minister Tieu."

"I'm afraid that until now, he still doesn't know where you are."

These days, Ly Triet is busy with politics. He didn't pay attention to me, but he clearly remembered the wound on Tieu Tinh Nhu's hand. In the past, when I heard those words, I would be lost, and because of Ly Triet's concern for Tieu Tinh Nhu, I would be so sad that I couldn't eat. And now, there are no more waves in my heart. From the moment I fell into the water, I completely saw through Ly Triet. Between us and him, there is no turning back anymore. Trieu Van's strong face revealed a resentful look:

"Tieu Le, even if you look down on yourself, you should pity me a little. Seeing you being trampled by that person named Ly hurts me more than being killed."

Trieu Van has gone through many ups and downs, still maintaining the pure heart of a teenager. It's just that year, why did I stubbornly fall in love with Ly Triet, never turning my eyes away from him. I laughed:

"I will not return to the Eastern Palace anymore. Little General Trieu just pretends he never saved me. Crown Princess To Le has drowned."

That is the outcome I personally decided for To Le. Leaving Trieu Palace, I just returned to my mother's house to pack my things, then went to my parents to say goodbye. Parents were heartbroken and said:

"We will help you hide this matter of pretending to die. But are you really determined to leave?"

I bowed my head vigorously:

“My mind is made up.”

My parents did not know the resentment I had endured for many years, and did not dare to ask. They just quietly prepared the fare for us to leave. As for me, I only brought a small box in my bedroom. Inside are the books I loved when I was a teenager. In that box, I also found eighteen letters, the paper was slightly yellowed, and I once considered them treasures. The writer's handwriting is strong and sharp:

"I don't allow you to talk to Trieu Van anymore. You're not allowed to smile at him either. If you do it again, next time I won't pay attention to you anymore."

That was Ly Triet's letter from seven or eight years ago, when he had not yet lost his memory and had an erratic personality. I gathered all eighteen of those letters and decided to return them to the right place. I sent someone to bring them to the service station and have them delivered straight to the Eastern Palace. The day we left, heavy snow covered the sky and earth outside, and the roads were bumpy. We turned our heads to look back at the royal citadel where we were born and raised. I told the maid:

"Let's go. Won't come back again."

But not for long. I saw Trieu Van. It was a rare snowfall in ten years. Snow fell for three days and three nights. Ly Triet returned from the main hall wearing a heavy robe, but he did not get off the carriage. The eunuch was so cold that he couldn't stand it, so he mustered up the courage to ask:

“Your Highness, we have arrived at the Eastern Palace, are you inside?”

Everyone knows that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have recently had some discord. In order to punish the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince slept in the main hall for several days. When Ly Triet got off the bus, he was in a very bad mood. Having been married for two years, his Crown Princess always comes to pick him up after low tide regardless of rain, bringing him breakfast and asking for warm and cold greetings. Today, she did not come. Before, he was deliberately cold towards her. But today, as soon as he set foot on the ground and did not see To Le, he suddenly felt an uncomfortable and inexplicable feeling in his heart. He thought, To Le should have stood there waiting for him to descend, that was the look of a proper wife. His confidant stood next to him and heard his master's gray-faced face coldly snorting:

“Now that mom has left, she doesn't even bother acting anymore.”

Having finished speaking, the master and servant walked in silence for a while. Ly Triet's dark guard suddenly remembered the desperate look in the young woman's eyes as she struggled in the water three days ago. He cautiously said to Ly Triet:

"Your Highness, a few days ago the Crown Princess fell into the water. Perhaps her body is not feeling well, that's why she didn't come out to greet you today. Your Highness, don't worry too much. In the Crown Princess's heart, there will always be someone."

Hearing that, the corners of Ly Triet's lips curled slightly. Those words made his handsome features feel slightly pleased.
