Chapter 4 — Green Light Saying Goodbye to the Old Man

On what basis do you criticize me for being cruel? But we can't. I can only swallow all those warm memories, along with the past between you and me, into my heart. "General, don't continue to talk nonsense. If I am dragged into a relationship with you, the person who will pay the price will be the entire steppe!" Duke Quy's eyes glanced back and forth between me and Tieu Sach Da, then coldly looked at him. "General Tieu, if she said she didn't know you, then this must be just a misunderstanding." "The emperor is still waiting for the princess to get along with him." Hey, General, stand up, we have to go to the palace.” He bowed slightly before me. I put my hand on his arm. "Enter the palace!" As soon as the order was given, Tieu Sach Da still wanted to chase, but was stopped by the guard who raised his knife. He watched my back enter the Forbidden City, little by little disappearing. 6The Emperor of Trung Nguyen appointed me Cang Concubine. Before being brought here, I asked about his story. This emperor's name was Ta Vo Ngon. At the age of twenty-eight, he slashed his sword to open a path to life amid the struggle for the throne among the nine princes. His personality is sinister, his methods are cruel. Khan once said that no one around him could be trusted, because they were all his eyes and ears. Including Your Excellency. That night, Ta Vo Ngon turned over my cards. I now understand why Khan told me to be careful with him. When he entered the palace, he gently stroked my hair. "I heard about what happened outside the royal citadel today. Did Tieu Sach Da mistakenly recognize you as your younger sister?" I was surprised by his extraordinarily handsome face. Isn't it said that the Emperor of the Central Plains has a face like the King of Hell? No matter how you look at it, it's not the same! I was momentarily stunned and could only nod. "Your Majesty has heard about it too? That general, I have never known him, and I don't know why he committed such an offense." "Oh? Then let me kill him for you, okay?" A sentence that killed someone was said so nonchalantly by him, making me immediately sober up. So he's trying to probe me? I pursed my lips. "Everything is decided by the king. I don't dare discuss the king's matters." "If you lose him, aren't you heartbroken?" "Not heartbroken. I don't have any relationship with him." Ta Vo Ngon stared at the expression on my face. That menacing look made my palms sweat. I held the blanket tightly, trying to calm myself down. Cannot reveal loopholes. Otherwise, you will fall into a situation of eternal invincibility. He suddenly laughed and caressed my face. "You steppe girls are indeed pure and do not even resist." "Right now the court is lacking a general to lead soldiers in battle. I miss him, who will go to the front line to replace me?" "But I heard you say that your sister and he have loved each other for many years, so I decided to give them a wedding. The decree of marriage will be read by you, okay?" He still said. trying to probe us. But he miscalculated. Using Tieu Sach Da to test me is completely useless. From the moment I left the steppe, I completely let go of you. I smiled. "What the Emperor says is so." Perhaps that night's exploration did not make Ta Vo Ngon see any loopholes, so he rewarded me with a lot of jewelry that had never been seen on the steppe. Treasures and embroidered shoes are crammed into the closet, leaving almost no space left. Inside and outside the palace, everyone told each other that a princess like me from the steppe was extremely favored. Thanks to that so-called favor, I receive a lot of flattery and favors from my subordinates. But at the same time, she was also made difficult by other concubines in the palace. Every time I hear other concubines scold me later

Back: "I don't know what magic tricks she learned to seduce men from the steppe, all of which she used on the king!" "Now the king's entire mind is on her, it's been half a month without turning over my cards. What a vixen!" The palace maid tried to come up and argue on my behalf many times, but was stopped by me. I waved the embroidered scarf, not paying attention and said: "Let them say whatever they want." The rumors became more and more fierce, but no one knew that after several months in the palace, Ta Vo Ngon had never even touched me. I know that he intentionally spread those rumors to Tieu Sach Da. He is testing to see if Tieu Sach Da has feelings for me or not. If there is, Tieu Sach Da definitely cannot keep it. A month later, the border announced a great victory. Ta Vo Ngon's challenge for me has finally come. Duke Ji brought the decree and presented it before me. "Your Highness, the Emperor invited you to Duong Tam Palace. Today we will discuss the marriage between General Tieu and your sister." "General Tieu has arrived. His Majesty said this decree will be read by Your Highness." What should happen will eventually happen. I received the decree, my face unchanged. "Please lead the way. This palace will definitely organize a glorious wedding for my sister." 7 In Duong Tam Palace, Tieu Sach Da knelt and refused to stand up.
