Chapter 6 — Bowl of Noodles on the Wedding Night
The pain was so much that his shoulders and back were tense, but he did not speak. After I finished bandaging, I said: "Ky Hoan, have you forgotten that I am also the wife of the Ky family?" He turned his head to look at me. The candlelight fell into his eyes, like a suppressed ray of light. I tied the bandage tightly: "This time, I won't go." 10 As expected, Ky Duc was not pure. The letters he passed back and forth with the royal palace were found in a secret compartment of the study room. Some of the paintings are official, but a few are related to the old struggle between the new emperor and the crown prince. Ky Duc knelt in front of Ky Marquis, his face pale. Ngu Nhu cried until she almost fainted. "The prince is just fascinated by others." No one answered her. Lady Ky hugged her breasts, not even daring to look at Ky Duc. Ky Hau has aged a lot. He looked towards Ky Hoan: "Ah Hoan, is there any other way?" Ky Hoan stood in the middle of the hall, holding a stack of letters in his hand. "Yes." Ky Duc suddenly raised his head. Ky Hoan pulled out a few letters from there. "The elder brother only used to transmit information and did not participate in military matters. If he would confess to being a member of the royal palace, he could save his life." Ngu Nhu immediately cried and shook his head. "So what about the future of the prince?" Ky Hoan looked at her: "You can live." As soon as the two words ended, no one in the hall spoke. In his previous life, Ky Duc could not even save his life. Now being able to survive was the way back because Ky Hoan used his life in exchange. But Ngu Nhu still feels it's not enough. She looked at me: "Ah Giao, please advise your second brother." I calmly stood next to Ky Hoan. "I can't advise." Tears fell from her eyes. "Do you still blame me for taking away the crown prince?" The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on me. Ky Duc's face became even whiter. Ky Hoan frowned slightly. I look at Ngu Nhu. Up until this moment, she still thought that everything revolved around winning and losing. She stole Ky Duc, so she won. Now that Ky Duc is about to lose her future, she thinks it's because I refuse to let her continue to win. I spoke softly: "Sister, Ky Duc is not something for you to take." Ngu Nhu was stunned. "If you want, take it away. If something happens, you will cry. There is no such logic in the world." Her face turned pale. Mother is not here. No one immediately stepped forward to cover up the situation for her. Ky Duc suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Ngu Nhu, stop talking." Ngu Nhu looked at him incredulously. He did not continue to protect her. Nor did she save the last bit of dignity for her. Ky Duc revealed the people of the royal palace. Ky family is preserved. But the position of crown prince has been lost. Marquis Ky personally submitted a confession and took Ky Duc to the family temple to repent. Lady Ky fell ill after just one night. Ky Hoan was pushed out in front of everyone. The second son, who no one took seriously before, began to move in and out of the Military Department, taking over the Ky family's old subordinates in the army. He is increasingly busy. But no matter how late he returned, he still stopped by my hospital to sit for a while. Sometimes just drink a cup of water. Sometimes I brought home a package of wontons from Dong Street. I told him that the pomegranates in the yard were ripe. He immediately ordered someone to pick it, wash it and place it on a white ceramic plate. One time he came back very late, the hem of his shirt still stuck to the cold dew outside the palace gate. I poured water for him. After sitting down, he suddenly said: "Ky Duc came to find me today." My hand stopped: "What did he say?" "He said he wanted to see you." I placed a cup of water in front of him: "No see." Ky Hoan raised his eyes to look at me. "I also answered the same." I laughed. He seriously added: "If you want to see me, tell me." I looked at him. He's always been like that. Give us the right to choose, do not make decisions for us, nor use our good intentions to force us. I sat down next to him: "I don't want to see you." Ky Hoan nodded
head: “Okay.” 11 Ky Hoan followed the new emperor on an expedition in the spring of the third year. The king started an army, no one in the court dared to go. Ky Hoan proactively asked for orders. I arranged his luggage for him. This time was even more dangerous than the previous visit to the border base. A Uy secretly cried many times. Ky Hoan saw it and left her a bag of silver. A Uy cried even harder: "What do you mean by that?" Ky Hoan was a bit confused: "If you want to buy breakfast, buy it yourself." A Uy burst into tears. I stood next to him and looked at him, laughing too. Ky Hoan looked at me: "Don't you advise me?" I stuffed the healing medicine into my luggage. "If I advise, you won't go?" He shook his head: "Impossible." "Then I won't advise." I tied my luggage and gave it to him. "I will wait for you in the capital." He took it, but did not immediately let go. "Ah Giao." This was the first time he called me that. I raised my head to look at him. He said in a low voice: "When I return, I will take you to Dong Street to eat wontons." I smiled: "Okay." After Ky Hoan left, Ky Duc returned from the family temple once. He lost a lot of weight and his whole body became quiet. Ngu Nhu did not return with him. It was said that she had returned to the Ngu family, crying every day, saying her life had been ruined.
