Chapter 8 — I Don't Owe Anyone My Life

At the same time, an injured guard ran in. "The general was ambushed in the north of the city." "Those people deliberately led him in the wrong direction." I understood. The leader's target is not just me. He wanted to separate Lau Quan Viem from the capital, then arrest me to force him to hand over evidence. I sent Thanh Dai to take So Tam to the princess's palace. Then he put on his robe and took Lau Quan Viem's jade pendant. "Lady, you can't go!" "I can't let Quan Viem walk into the trap alone." "But the general told me..." "Thanh Dai." I looked at her. "If I don't return, tell him that I never regretted it." Thanh Dai knelt down and hugged my legs, sobbing. I removed her hand. "Take care of Sister Tam." Outside on the street, flower lanterns were shining brightly. The crowd was just like the night I was eight years old. We passed by the smiling faces and went to the dark alley of the past. Sister A stood under a red light. He lost a lot of weight. In my arms I held Lien Sanh who was tied up. "A Nhuoc." I stopped. "Let the child go." Sister A shook her head. "Big brother said to wait for Lau Quan Viem to arrive." "Where is he?" "I don't know." "I just want to save Lien Sanh." "Then give it to me." Sister sister hugged her child tighter. "Ah Nhuoc, why does everyone want you?" "Can Nien wants you." "Lien Sanh also called You are my mother." "Even a good person like Lau Jun Yan only sees you." "What about me?" "You can go back to Tieu Can Nien." "He doesn't need me!" Sister A shouted. "In his previous life, he needed me." "He held my hand, saying he missed me." "But in this life, after remembering everything, in his eyes there was only you." Her tears kept falling. "I have suffered for so many years." "I have suffered for so many years." is the one who deserves to be compensated." I looked at her. "Sister, no one can use someone else's happiness to compensate for themselves." "I don't want to hear it!" She backed away. Behind, dozens of people dressed in black stepped out. The leader appeared at the end of the alley. "Ah Nhuoc, hand over Lau Quan Viem's jade pendant." "I will release Lien Sanh." I held up the jade pendant in my hand. "Let the child come here first." The brother signaled. Sister A pushed Lien Sanh towards me. It ran and cried: "Mother!" I hugged it. At that moment, an arrow crashed down from the roof. The target is not us. It's Lien Sanh. The leader never intended to let the child live. Because Lien Sanh has heard too many secrets. I turned around and used my back to cover it. But the arrow did not reach me. A figure rushed forward. Lau Quan Viem hugged both me and Lien Sanh and rolled to the side. The arrow penetrated deep into his shoulder. "Quan Viem!" He pulled out his sword and cut off the arrow. Blood flowed down his arm. The arrowhead is dark blue. There's poison. "I'm fine." He pushed me back. "Protect the lady!" The sound of weapons immediately rang out. Tieu Can Nien also led the forbidden army. He sat in a wheelchair, his face cold. "Ta Truong Hanh, you colluded with the rebel party, kidnapped the emperor, a crime worthy of exile." The elder laughed loudly. "Third Highness, do you think you are very noble?" "You are just a pawn." "Your Majesty never intended to pass the throne to you." "I know." Tieu Can Nien replied. "But today I did not come for the throne." His eyes looked towards me. "I came. pay a debt.” Chaos broke out. Sister A hugged Lien Sanh and hid in a corner. The leader was cornered and suddenly threw an oil lamp into the pile of cloth next to him. The fire broke out fiercely. The alley is filled with materials used for the lantern festival. In just a moment, flames blocked all exits. A burning wooden beam fell down. A sister panicked and pushed Lien Sanh away. The child fell into the middle of the fire. I didn't have time to think and rushed in to pull it. A blade of da.a.o pierced my stomach. The man in black behind him laughed fiercely. I felt the da.a.o tongue being pulled out. Hot blood poured down. Lau Quan Viem beheaded that person. He hugged me. "A Nhuoc!" I wanted to say myself

No problem. But as soon as he opened his mouth, blood flowed out. Tieu Can Nien crawled out of the wheelchair, using his body to shield Lien Sanh from the falling beam. The sound of broken bones rang out. Sister A shouted until she was hoarse. In the firelight, I saw my brother being captured by the army. He looked at me. Panic appeared in my eyes for the first time. "Ah Nhuoc..." I no longer had the strength to reply. Lau Quan Viem carried me and ran away from the sea of fire. His blood dripped down my face. I don't know if it was from his shoulder or the corner of his mouth. I only know that bracelet is still very tight. Just like the day he returned. 12 Lau Quan Viem and I were both poisoned. The poison on arrows and da.a.o blades is the same type. There is only one T. Purple Pill left in the palace. The doctor said that people who drink medicine can live. The remaining people could only hold out until morning. At that time, Lau Quan Viem was in a coma. The poison spread from the shoulder to the chest. The doctor asked me: "Who do you want to use the medicine for?" I looked at the man lying next to me. He promised to stay with us. But I know, if he wakes up, he will definitely give me the medicine. "For him." The doctor was horrified. "But ma'am..." "I was injured in the stomach and lost too much blood." "Even if I detoxify, I'm not sure I can live." "He's different." "The frontier needs him." "Sho Tam also needs his father." The doctor knelt down.
