“If I had known that the injured person was Your Highness, even if I had to offend Princess Truong, I would definitely have gone up the mountain to save you.” I replied, pretending to be extremely panicked. As expected, Ly Tuyen's face continuously changed. After a long time, he reached out and grabbed my wrist. "It's good not to remember the things of my past life." "You have seen everything clearly. This time I will marry you to be the Crown Princess. Later, I will also make you the Queen." "The royal child will also be raised by you. No one will be able to separate us anymore." Let's not mention the Royal child. Just mentioning it... my heart is only filled with hatred. I hate him for taking away my right to be a mother. I hate him even more for letting my son accept the enemy as his mother. But hate is hate. My face is still unruffled. Just quietly withdrew his hand, took a step back and bowed. "Your Highness, this lady has a marriage contract with the young master of the Chu family in Duong Chau." Ly Tuyen's finger stopped in mid-air, as if burned by that sentence. "The Chu family? Chu Hang, the eldest son of Chu Binh Nghia, the Chu family in Duong Chau?" "Why do you have a marriage contract with him? Never heard you mention it in my previous life..." He stopped saying that. I didn't mention it in my previous life, of course because that marriage never happened. Now that the marriage certificate has been delivered, it cannot be considered that I deceived him. Outside the hospital walls, several dogs barking suddenly rang out. Ly Tuyen tilted his ear to listen for a moment and then said: "It's late at night, you should rest early. There's no need to rush the engagement. Anyway..." He didn't finish. It's just waiting for you to come find me later when you ascend the throne. I don't answer. Outside, the sounds of dogs barking were heard again. Ly Tuyen turned around and left, leaving only the cold moonlight in the yard. I stood still in place. Wait until his back was completely hidden in the darkness before slowly exhaling a breath. His palms had long been sweaty and sticky on his sleeves. My guess is not wrong. A few days later, Duong Chau sent urgent news. On his way to attend the competition with his friends, Chu Hang fell from his horse and broke his right leg. That night, the Chu family's engagement letter was returned. Attached was a very sincere apology letter, saying that she did not dare to ruin the rest of Miss Lam's life. When the princess heard the news, she just laughed. "This... is too coincidental." Coincidence? I took the letter, folded it and put it in the box. Calmly replied: "Perhaps it is God's will." Only... that God's will is Ly Tuyen. At this time, his parents were on the road to exile. The elder sister could not bear the torture in prison, so she sought death, but luckily she was saved in time. Only injured in the neck, then he was escorted out and went into exile with his parents. Before leaving, she used every means, not even sparing herself to seduce the prison guards, just to force me to come see her. "Sister, I died once, and I finally remembered a lot of things. You... also remember, right?" In prison, she was tortured to the point of being emaciated, with no trace of her former brilliance. As soon as she saw me, her originally dark eyes immediately lit up, glaring at me with hatred. "That's why I deliberately threw away the bamboo burning brooch and didn't go to Dong Son to save the Crown Prince..."What if I don't? Live again. Could it be that she still expects me to continue clearing the way, taking her up to the clouds? "Remember or not remember, I don't understand what you're saying." To avoid ears in the forest, I don't acknowledge what the elder sister said. Just calmly replied: "The person was injured by you. If you want to save him, you should save him. If you can save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are now one step into the clouds, so why are you still in the same situation as today?"

Queen. All of those things should belong to me! If you hate me, hate Ly Tuyen, that's all. Do you even hate your son?" "If you don't save Ly Tuyen, you don't even need your son anymore?" If you want to have a child, I can give birth to another child. Why does it have to be Ly Tuyen's child? I pretended to be surprised and covered my mouth. "Are you crazy, elder sister? I haven't gotten married yet, where can I get a son?" The elder sister kept shaking her head. She screamed with all her might that I was also a resurrected person, because of my hatred for the past life, I saw that death couldn't save me, and intentionally pushed her into prison. I sighed softly and didn't say anything more. Even though she was in the prison crying and cursing. It's just that...the elder sister was gone. Ly Tuyen was still there. He sent someone to bring gifts every day. Today it's a box of Dong Chau brocade. Or a love letter, telling me to be patient and wait for the good news. In my previous life, I always had to get what I wanted, but in this life... I'll definitely let him try to get it and put it in the warehouse That... I conveniently threw it into the coal pot. ... After the news of the Chu family's annulment spread, no one in the capital came to ask for my favor. Because Lam Thanh Phu committed a serious crime, the Lam family also fell into disrepute. Ly Tuyen was acting discreetly without any hesitation. He forced me to take the initiative to beg him, and then he gave me an honor that was not worth mentioning As for the future Queen position... I haven't been deceived by him in my past life. How much of those promises were true? He forced me like that, I couldn't sit and wait for death. That afternoon, I changed into a simple outfit and rented a palanquin to go to the princess' palace.
