Chapter 2 — I am not an emperor, I only pray for her peace

I - a queen - became the laughing stock of Dai Thinh. The hot summer night, the sound of insects buzzing throughout the palace. I ran to question him, but saw him holding a slender woman with a beautiful appearance, trembling and panicking in his arms. I met that woman at the Eastern Palace - more than once. It turns out, the two of them had been secretly having an affair for a long time, right under my eyelids. After comforting the person in his heart, he turned to me and said coldly:

"Linh Nhi and I are two people of the same mind. Linh Nhi is gentle and dignified, understanding manners, unlike you - rude and disrespectful, arbitrarily barging into my palace without notice."

I burst out laughing coldly:

"Understanding manners, being gentle and dignified? A concubine is shamelessly seducing a married man - is that the so-called 'rule' of Miss Liu family?"

Luu Nguyet Linh didn't say a word, just bowed her head and cried. Wei Hanh felt sorry for her, so he squeezed the person in his arms a little tighter.

"Linh Nhi and I have known each other since before you became the Crown Princess. Don't talk nonsense or slander around."

It turns out it was all my fault. I stepped forward, wanting to pull Luu Nguyet Linh out of his arms, but Wei Hanh waved his hand and pushed me hard. I staggered back, hitting the corner of the table. Fresh blood immediately flowed down from my forehead, but I didn't feel any pain. Compared to the pain in my heart, this wound is nothing.

"Ling'er is pregnant, you dare to make her go into labor, I will make you pay for it with your life!"

Nguy Hanh roared angrily, his gentle, jade-like appearance suddenly transformed into a cruel, horrifyingly distorted face. So fast... she was pregnant. As for me, after three years of marriage, I still haven't had a single pregnancy. Looking at my silence, he cruelly sprinkled another handful of salt into the wound in my heart.

"Don't expect to get pregnant in this life. I have already taken the medicine so you can't conceive."

"Just seeing you makes me feel nauseous. On what basis can your husband ascend the throne? If it weren't for the throne, I would never have married you."

My heart froze — just for a moment. I don't know why, it's clearly a summer night, but I feel cold all over my body, as cold as falling in the middle of winter.

"The Queen is not mentally alert and speaks confusedly. Quickly take her back to Vi Uong Palace and take good care of her."

With just one sentence, I was immediately framed as a crazy and erratic person. Meanwhile, Wei Hanh became a gentle lover, loving the queen wholeheartedly - even though the queen was crazy, he still remained faithful and did not abandon her, keeping her in the supreme position. All these days and months later, I still don't understand. Even if there is no love, the bond between brothers and sisters who grew up together since childhood... how could it disappear overnight? Luu Nguyet Linh didn't say a word, just a drop of tears... I lost. 4. When the emperor's uncle asked me who I liked, Wei Hanh slightly frowned thoughtfully. Maybe he was praying that I wouldn't say his name. Because at that time, he had already met Luu Nguyet Linh - perhaps feelings had arisen from the beginning. When I told him I liked Wei Ly, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted. But the next moment, his eyebrows suddenly tightened. He is What do you think? I really can't stand that pretense of love. Every time he came to the Princess's residence to look for me, I told people to refuse to welcome him. What about being a prince? I am the most noble princess of Dai Thinh, my mother is the eldest princess, my uncle is the emperor, and I love and cherish me as much as my own daughter. Is he Wei Hanh? I dare to treat you coldly, not afraid of anything. The most important decision of my life has now changed, this life... will not repeat the same mistake. After many days at home thinking, I decided to go to Trieu Van Pagoda to pay thanksgiving. The memories of my past life are still clear in my mind. Although I don't believe in God or Buddha, being able to live a new life again is truly a great blessing. I knelt before the Buddha statue, sincerely bowed my head three times, and prayed for a wish. The past cannot be undone, but the future can still be grasped. I believe that, once we start over, the road ahead will definitely be brilliant.

“Lord Thanh Le.”

A clear male voice rang out, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned around and saw Wei Ly standing in the doorway. The warm afternoon sunlight slanted in, covering his body with a layer of gentle light. He stood in the middle of the sunlight, as if golden light covered his entire body. Inside the main hall was dim, it took a while to see his face clearly. He smiled at me, that warm smile dispelled all the gloom in my heart. At that moment, it was like I saw that day. He was like an angel descending to earth, bringing me back home. 5. Wei Hanh brought Liu Nguyet Linh into the palace, despite the objections of the officials, blatantly appointing her as a noble concubine. As for me, after being confined at Vi Uong Palace, my body became increasingly exhausted. At that time, Wei Hanh still pretended to visit me a few times. Until one day, a white, lovely child, like a carved jade doll, entered the Vi Uong palace. The royal palace is not short of children, and my uncle also has two young princes of the same age. I didn't have any doubts, I just thought that child was my younger brother. In the middle of that cold, forbidden palace, having another person to keep you company also seemed less lonely. Occasionally, it even brings us some new items, making us smile in the dark. One time, a child brought me a small toy made from South Sea pearls. I couldn't help but ask him. Children are innocent and innocent, whatever you ask, they will answer. He said that the item was a treasure that his parents found. Seeing that I was beautiful, they were very happy and wanted to give it to me. I looked at that pure, innocent face, its eyes were clear and sparkling like stars. It was at that moment that I suddenly understood - I don't have any cousins. It's just the result of an affair between Wei Hanh and Liu Yue Ling, their hidden child. No wonder he was in such a hurry to bring her to the palace - so their child was already so grown up. Thunder struck in the clear sky, people trembled as if their strength had been drained, their internal organs felt like they were being gnawed by ants, in pain to the point of numbness. The child saw my face pale and asked worriedly:

“You're beautiful, what's wrong with you?”
