Chapter 10 — Duong Mui Knelt Down to Pray for the Crown Prince's True Love, I Smiled and Gave Up the Marriage
“There are people.”
“Even if you kneel to death, it will be useless.”
Chung Linh Xu's whole body trembled continuously. She wanted to say something. But her lips only trembled. Not even a word could be uttered. We take a step back. Smiling at her.
“Where are you?”
“Send Second Miss back to rest.”
“By the way, please invite the Royal Doctor to examine Second Miss.”
“You're the lady of the Marquis' Palace, but you ended up like this.”
“If it gets out, I'm afraid it will make people laugh.”
Chung Linh Xu was helped away by someone. Before leaving. She even turned her head to look at me. That look. Hatred is overwhelming. Thanh Hanh leaned closer. Ask in a low voice:
“Miss, is she going to press charges?”
I burst out laughing.
“Indictment?”
“Fox what?”
“Did you let go of my hand when I helped her?”
“Or should I force her to kneel all night?”
“It was she who voluntarily knelt down.”
“It's not like I forced her.”
“The entire Marquis Palace from top to bottom saw it with their own eyes.”
“It was she who insisted on kneeling.”
Thanh Hanh blinked. Then he also laughed.
“Miss is right.”
“It is she who wants to kneel.”
I turn around. Return to the hospital. Sit down in front of the dressing table. Quietly look at yourself in the bronze mirror. Sunlight passes through the window. Projected into the room. The floor is covered in a bright yellow color. I picked up the comb. Slowly comb his long hair. Thanh Hanh stood next to him. Ask in a low voice:
“Miss, what should we do next?”
I look at her through the bronze mirror.
“Next?”
“Next…”
“Just wait and see the drama.”
"Let's see how she will continue the next act."
Afternoon. News arrived. After returning to the hospital. Chung Linh Xu started to have a high fever. She had a fever to the point of coma. The mouth kept calling:
“Sister, please spare your life…”
"Linh Xu doesn't dare anymore..."
The doctor came to examine me. Says cold air has entered the body. Need to rest carefully. That news. It quickly spread throughout the entire capital.
"Have you heard? The second lady of the Marquis Palace knelt all night in front of her daughter's courtyard, kneeling until she had a fever!"
“Why do you have to kneel?”
"I heard that because he openly expressed his feelings for the Crown Prince in front of everyone, he angered his wife."
"Then that woman is too cruel, isn't she? No matter what, they are sisters in the same family, and making someone kneel all night long, isn't that like forcing someone to death?"
"That's right! I also heard that the Second Miss lost her parents when she was young and had to live at the Marquis' Palace, which is already very pitiful..."
“That lady is really too much!”
I sat in the elegant room of the tea house, quietly listening to the chatter coming from the room next door. Thanh Hanh was so angry that her entire face turned red.
"Miss! Listen! What nonsense are they talking about!"
"It's obvious that that bitch wanted to kneel on her own. Why did the Lady in the end force her to kneel?"
I raised the cup of tea in my hand and slowly took a sip.
“No rush.”
“Just let her continue acting.”
"The bigger she acts, the more painful she will fall later."
Three days later. Chung Linh Xu's illness was finally "cured". She dragged her "just recovered" body to the Crown Prince's palace. Kneeled right in front of the gate of the Crown Prince's palace, begging to meet the Crown Prince Your Highness. He kept saying that he had implicated His Highness the Crown Prince, causing an incident in the marriage between the Crown Prince and his daughter. He also said that he was willing to die to apologize for his sins, only asking His Highness the Crown Prince not to blame his wife. She rushed straight into the stone lion placed in front of the gate of the Crown Prince's palace. When the news reached my ears. I'm sitting in the garden looking at flowers. Thanh Hanh quickly ran in. His face has also changed.
"Miss! Miss! This is not good!"
“The second lady crashed her head into the stone lion in front of the gate of the Crown Prince's mansion!”
I put down the flower branch in my hand.
“Are you dead yet?”
Thanh Hanh was immediately stunned.
“Ch... not dead... People said her head was bleeding a lot, and was then carried into the palace.”
I nodded slightly.
“That's good.”
Thanh Hanh was completely stunned.
"Ti... Miss? What... What did you just say?"
I look at her.
“That's very good.”
“She's not dead yet.”
“This play still has to go on.”
“She wants to use her own blood to nail me to the pillar of shame.”
"I want the entire capital to see how I, this woman, forced my own sister in my house to the point of looking for death."
“Unfortunately——”
I slowly stood up.
“She stabbed too lightly.”
“Still can't stab myself to death.”
"Next."
“It's my turn to go on stage.”
Crown Prince's Palace. I stand in front of the gate.
