Chapter 5 — Back to the Day of the Queen Mother's Marriage, This Time I Repented on the Spot, the Dowager was stunned

After returning to the palace, I locked myself in my room all night. Candles burned one after another, the maid came in to ask three times, but I sent them all away. Tham Nghien Chi's words are like a thorn, stuck in my head, and I can't get them out.

“In my previous life, I was sorry for you.”

He may have really returned. Or maybe they're intentionally spying on me. But I'm more inclined to the second possibility. Because if he was really back, he wouldn't have waited until now to open his mouth. He will stop me right in enjoying the flower bird's nest, right at the moment I say goodbye to the kiss. He will use every measure to make it impossible for me to say those words. But he didn't. While enjoying the flower banquet, he was truly surprised. Being offended. It was only later that I started to have doubts. That kind of doubt is not something a reincarnated person should have. That was the reaction of a man who discovered his wife had suddenly changed, and then guessed little by little - Did she already know something? He's testing me. Use a vague statement to observe our reaction. I thought about this matter over and over in my heart three times before finally blowing out the candle. When it was just dawn, I fell asleep. Before sleeping, I thought, starting today, I absolutely cannot reveal any more loopholes. But I didn't expect that the loophole was not on our side. Early the next morning, the maid eagerly pushed open the door and ran in.

“Miss, something happened in the palace!”

“What?”

“Miss Lam… escaped from the heavenly palace last night!”

I sat up forcefully.

"Hiding out? How did you escape?"

"It was said that an internal guard responded and led her out through the West gate. The Queen was furious and is now thoroughly investigating."

I put on a coat and went to the window. It was just dawn, the fog in the hospital had not yet cleared. If Lam Bich Hanh can escape from the heavenly palace, then it must be Thuc Phi who took action. Thuc Phi saved her, proving that she still has value. And she still has value... Which means - she absolutely will not settle down. She will definitely counterattack. Moreover, it will be more cruel than last time. I turned around and told the maid:

"Go get that fake love letter. Then prepare the carriage, I want to go out."

“Where do you want to go, young lady?”

“Vinh Xuong Marquis Palace.”

Bui Hoai is practicing his spear in the martial arts arena. When we arrived, he was shirtless, his whole body was covered in sweat, and was dragged by his entourage to change clothes. When he stepped out again, his hair was still wet.

“Why did you come here?”

As soon as he saw me, his eyes immediately lit up a bit. I don't beat around the bush, directly recounting everything that happened at the palace banquet yesterday, including the fact that Lam Bich Hanh ran away. After Bui Hoai heard it, he whistled.

"The little sister in the house whose last name is Tham, turns out to be a secret agent?"

“Not only that.”

I gave that fake love letter to him.

"She wants to harm me. This is not over yet."

Bui Hoai received the letter and read it twice, his face gradually darkening.

“What if she continues to attack again?”

“That's why I came to find you.”

I look at him.

“Master Marquis, I need you to help me do something.”

“Singing.”

Bui Hoai paused for a moment.

“What is the performance?”

“I would like to marry you.”

The wind On the martial arts arena, the wind blew past, making his still wet hair sway slightly. Bui Hoai stared at me for a few breaths.

“Have you thought it through?”

“Didn't think carefully.”

"I just want this matter to be settled quickly. The Queen Mother gave me three months, but I can't wait three months."

"Lin Bich Hanh hasn't died in a day, and I haven't been able to live in peace for a day. If I marry you, I can at least make her consider a few more points before making a move - touching me means touching Vinh Xuong Marquis Palace."

Having finished speaking, I put down the tea cup in my hand.

“If Marquis feels awkward, it's as if I never said anything.”

Bui Hoai did not speak. He lowered his head to look at the love letter and looked at it for a long time. Then he raised his head, the lazy smile in his eyes completely disappeared.

“To Van Duong.”
