Chapter 6 — Duong Mui Knelt Down to Pray for the Crown Prince's True Love, I Smiled and Gave Up the Marriage

We take one step forward. She took a step back. We go one step further. She took another step back. Just like that, she kept backing up to the door. The back hit the door frame hard, there was no way back. That scene was exactly like this afternoon in her hospital. I bent down. Get close to her ear. The voice was very quiet, so small that only the two of us could hear:

“Zhong Linh Xu, do you really think I can't see it?”

“If you openly express your feelings in front of everyone, isn't it just to anger me?”

"You cried until you fainted. Don't you just want me to take care of everything?"

“You ran here to advise me, don't you just want to see me become a laughing stock?”

“What you are planning in your heart, I know better than anyone.”

“Do you want me to be like before, being spun around in your palm over and over again?”

“Unfortunately——”

I stopped a bit. Then slowly say each word:

“I don't play with you anymore.”

“This play, you should perform it yourself.”

Chung Linh Xu's whole body stiffened. She stared at me. His eyes were filled with fear. There's also a trace of... hatred that I can't hide even if I want to hide it. I straightened up. Take a step back. Smiling at her.

“Sister, why is your face so unsightly?”

“Are you not feeling well?”

“Do you need me to invite a Thai doctor to examine you?”

This saying. Exactly the same thing I said in her hospital that afternoon. Chung Linh Xu bit her lower lip. It took a long time. She reluctantly forced a smile. That smile is more unsightly than crying.

“Big sister, you're joking.” Her voice trembled. “Linh Xu... Linh Xu is okay.”

“Just a little tired.”

“Then my sister, go back and rest.”

I leaned aside, giving her way.

“Rest well.”

“Tomorrow, there is still a good drama waiting.”

After Chung Linh Xu left, my mother held my hand tightly, her eyes red.

“Doubtful.” The mother choked up her voice. “Just now... what did you say to her just now?”

I looked into her eyes. Silence for a long moment. Then he spoke softly:

“Mother, do you trust me?”

The mother paused. Immediately after that, he nodded vigorously.

"Believe! Mother of course believes in me!"

I smiled. Gently hug her.

“Then don't ask anymore.”

"Wait a little longer, I will tell you everything."

It was late at night. I lay on the small bed, quietly looking at the moonlight outside the window. Tonight, Chung Linh Xu will definitely go to the Crown Prince's palace. She will definitely tell Tieu Tan Nghiem everything about tonight. I will definitely add more salt, saying how I "bullied" her. After Tieu Tan Nghiem listens, he will definitely hate me even more. I will definitely believe even more that I, this woman, am indeed jealous, and truly cannot tolerate others. What then? What will he do? Is it to go to the palace to see the Queen and definitely cancel this marriage? I slowly closed my eyes. Previous life. It was also a night like this. I was locked in the monastery, quietly listening to the wind whistling outside the window. The next morning. I was pushed into a deep well. I will never give them any more chances any other association? Early morning the next day. I wake up. Wash your face and comb your hair. Change into a simple, elegant outfit. There is only one jade hairpin in her hair. Mother comes. She looked at me, her eyes still slightly red.

“Nghi Nhi, have you really thought this through?”

I nodded slightly.

“My daughter has thought carefully.”

She grabbed my hand and pulled me out together.

“Mother comes with me.”

“If the Queen dares to bully you, mother will risk her life for you!”

I burst out laughing. Gently hugged her again.

“Mother, please rest assured.”

“In this life, my daughter will not let anyone have the opportunity to bully us again.”

Royal Palace. Kun Ninh palace. The Queen sat neatly on the chair, with a motherly demeanor. She was very well taken care of, on the outside she was only about thirty years old, between her eyebrows and eyes she somewhat resembled Tieu Tan Nghiem. I knelt in the middle of the main hall, respectfully bowing.

"Goddess Chung Lenh Nghi meets the Queen."

The Queen did not speak. She raised the tea cup and slowly took a sip. A very long time passed. She spoke softly:

“Stand up.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

I slowly stood up, bowed my eyes slightly, and respectfully stood aside.
