Chapter 3 — I am not an emperor, I only pray for her peace

In a moment filled with despair, I stared into those clear eyes — A cruel thought was quietly born in my heart. Thinking back, he was just a child, what was his crime? The ones at fault... are that hard-hearted male and female dog couple - its parents. I haven't seen anyone other than that baby for a long time. My close maid - Duoc Chau - was soon taken away by them. The palace maid who delivers meals every day only puts down the food box and leaves, and we only get to see her face a few sporadic times. If my mother knew that I had a "crazy disease", I don't know how heartbroken she would be. I think, people definitely won't believe that. But outside these palace walls, what can you do? Since I "got sick", my mother has never visited me once. Even if you are the emperor's aunt, you cannot casually enter the palace. What's more... that male and female dog couple will absolutely not let anyone in. I just hope that people can rest assured, knowing that I am still alive, still awake. My father passed away early, my mother raised me alone. If something happened to me, I don't know what people would do. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of people getting hurt. 6. That day, I gently comforted Tran Nhi, telling her to sleep next to me for one night. Tran Nhi — is the name of that child. He said, his parents said it was their priceless treasure. It's ridiculous. The child of Wei Hanh and Liu Nguyet Linh suddenly disappeared, and the whole palace was frantically searching for him. I sat in front of the bed, quietly looking at its peaceful sleeping face, outside the palace there were continuous calls - but my heart felt a surge of joy. The next day, the big door of Vi Uong Palace was violently kicked open. Wei Hanh and Luu Nguyet Linh stormed in with dark faces, their anger rising to the sky. I burst out laughing — that was the first time, I laughed when facing them.

"Your Majesty, Tran Nhi is definitely at her place! Look at her smile, how extravagant!" – Luu Nguyet Linh choked and cried.

“Yes, the baby is here.” – I calmly replied, my eyes locked tightly on them, then deliberately paused for a moment.

"It's just... I gave it a medicine. It's colorless, tasteless, even the royal doctor can't diagnose it."

Nguy Hanh angrily shouted:

“You cruel, twisted woman!”

Huh, what I do... compared to them is just a drop in the bucket. Who gives them the right to criticize us?

"I have one condition. If you do as I say, I will cure it. If not..."

“Then just look at it every day in pain, until you have to witness the gray hair saying goodbye to the green hair.”

In the end, fatherly love still wins. They had to bow their heads and accept my request, conveying the word to their mother, so that she could enter the Vi Duong palace to meet me. That day, I was as usual, neatly dressed, and calmly waiting. Duoc Chau - my loyal maid - was also brought to my side. In front of my mother, I pretended to be crazy — I don't know if she really believed I had gone crazy or not. 7. After his mother left, Wei Hanh immediately brought Liu Yue Ling over. He coldly asked me about the antidote, with only impatience in his eyes. The antidote? There is no such thing. We just used lies to deceive them. I'm not cruel enough to attack a child. In the end, they locked me up into the dungeon in the palace. In a dark and damp prison, without seeing the sun, I endured all kinds of torture and punishment. The pain in the body... how can it compare to the hatred in our hearts? Before, when he was following Wei Hanh, he always smiled gently. A young man as radiant and elegant as the spring breeze - but in the blink of an eye he turned into such a cruel and evil person. I ask myself, over the years... have I ever done anything wrong to him? Just when I thought I was about to succumb — Wei Ly appeared. I watched him walk step by step in the backlight, suddenly memories of my childhood came rushing back. 8. The emperor has no daughter, so he often calls me to stay with him in the palace. From then on, I began to get acquainted with the princes in the palace. We ran and played everywhere with them, without any hesitation. At that time, I often followed Wei Hanh, because among the princes, he had the most handsome appearance, making people happy to look at. Together we watch spring flowers, listen to cicadas chirping in summer, pick up fallen autumn leaves, and watch the white snow in winter. When I was nine years old, Wei Hanh was thirteen. He started to become cold, constantly reminding me that "men and women are different", and told me to be reasonable and learn to maintain manners. I don't want to follow him anymore - it's so disgusting. So I started running alone to the fake mountain cave in the royal garden, sitting and listening to the gurgling sound of the stream flowing through the rocks. One day, in that mountain cave, I saw Wei Ly. He is holding a snow white cat in his arms. As soon as the little cat saw me, its fur immediately bristled and its whole body tensed. At that time, Wei Ly's face was tense, his eyes seemed to be hiding an impending storm.

“This is my area.”

At that time, he was only eleven years old, even if he was angry, he did not pose any threat.
