Chapter 16 — I Give Up Everything, Always Give Up My Fiance, Never Give Up My Life

I smiled faintly.

"Are you using a fake holy decree to kidnap me into your private prison? Ta Doan Hanh, you find it very interesting to deceive yourself like that."

Having his thoughts exposed, Ta Doan Hanh was so embarrassed that he became angry: "So what? Now the whole world knows that she was taken away by people in the palace. Even if she died here, no one would suspect it. Tham Dieu, I give you one last chance. Obediently listen, otherwise..."

“What if not?”

I met his menacing eyes straight, without backing down.

"Kill me? Then your sister Nhuoc Ninh, who will save you?"

Ta Doan Hanh's throat was blocked by me, his chest heaved violently, his eyes dark and scary. He really doesn't dare to kill me at this time, Giang Nhuoc Ninh is still waiting for my "medication guide".

“Just be bold.”

Finally he gritted his teeth and said.

"I have a ton of ways to make you submit. Just stay here and think carefully. Once you've thought it through, tell someone outside the door to come talk to me."

He slammed the door and left, the sound of the lock falling was deafening. I rubbed my aching chin, feeling cold as ice. Ta Doan Hanh was so crazy that he lost control. In the following days, I was strictly guarded in this room, three meals a day were brought to me, not to the point of deprivation, but absolutely not kind. Ta Doan Hanh did not appear again, but waiting for a punishment that did not know when it would come was even more corrosive to his will than any torture. I tried to ask for news from the lady who brought me food, but she kept her mouth shut, refusing to reveal even a word about what happened outside. It wasn't until the evening of the third day that I accidentally heard the soft whispers of the two guards outside the door.

“…Your Highness truly has a deep and meaningful love, Miss Bieu is already like that, she is still determined to get married on time…”

"Tsk, I'm just excited. I heard that the National Palace has also agreed..."

"That's right, anyway, that Tham family... hmm, once you get through the official door and get the medicine, it won't have any value anymore..."

Become a body. I suddenly clenched my fist. Ta Doan Hanh wants to marry Giang Nhuoc Ninh. Still in this situation. He even plans to take my blood after getting married. A chilling chill rose from the bottom of my heart. They don't just want my life. But they also want to step on my body and hold a party to celebrate their so-called "love". We must escape. Absolutely cannot sit and wait to die. But how to escape? This place is strictly guarded... Just when I was getting impatient, in the middle of the night, three very soft knocks suddenly sounded on the window. I was startled and cautiously looked towards the tightly nailed window. Three more sounds rang out, with a steady rhythm, clearly a signal. Right after that, an extremely unattractive wooden panel at the bottom of the window was removed by someone outside, revealing a small gap, and then a piece of paper was stuffed inside. My heart was pounding, I immediately rushed to pick up the piece of paper. Under the faint moonlight, there was only a small line of writing on it: Tomorrow night at the hour of the Rat, southeast corner door. There is no signature, but the handwriting looks familiar. Are you Tieu Quyet's person? How did he know I was being held here? And he... still refused to get involved this? Countless doubts welled up in my heart, but this was my only way to live. Without hesitation, I swallowed the piece of paper straight into my stomach, then carefully pressed the wooden board back to its original position, without leaving any traces. Throughout the next day, we live in a tense state of waiting. Ta Doan Hanh never appeared, the palace seemed especially busy, from afar vaguely heard the sounds of people passing by and musical instruments, as if preparing for a celebration. Sure enough, they were about to get married. Night gradually falls, the hour of the Rat is coming. I held my breath, listening to the sound of the clock echoing in the yard. When the sound of the Rat hour drum rang out vaguely, we heard a very soft, suppressed groan outside the door, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground. Immediately after that, the lock made a soft opening sound, and the room door was pushed open a narrow gap. A man dressed as a Marquis's guard, with a completely unfamiliar face, quickly waved his hand at me, urging in a low voice: "Miss Shen, hurry up!" I didn't have time to think too much, so I immediately walked out. Outside the door, the two security guards were unconscious and lying on the ground.
