Chapter 8 — I Wait For Reconciliation, But He Refuses To Let Go

I was originally going to scold you a few more times. But seeing the dark circles under his eyes, somehow the words that reached his lips were swallowed back. The whole room was immersed in silence. Outside, the rain was still falling a little. I was held tightly in his arms, even if I wanted to struggle, I couldn't. Finally, I don't know when I fell asleep. The next morning, when I opened my eyes, the side was empty. I sat up. His arms and legs were still loosely tied by the belt. Obviously he did it on purpose. This bastard! I was so angry that I hit the bed hard.

“Dong Tuyet!”

Dong Tuyet immediately pushed the door open and ran in.

“Miss!”

Seeing my appearance, she widened her eyes.

“The slave will untie the rope immediately!”

I gritted my teeth.

“Where are you?”

“Your Majesty... no, the Prince entered the palace early in the morning.”

I was so angry that I was shaking. Tie me up all night and then walk away? Truly sick! As soon as I was released, I ordered someone to prepare a carriage. Dong Tuyet was startled.

“Where are you going, miss?”

“Enter the palace!”

“I see that the Royal Highness is in a bad mood today…”

“I still feel like I'm in a bad mood!”

Dong Tuyet immediately fell silent. Half an hour later. The carriage stopped in front of the palace. I rushed in aggressively. As a result, as soon as he walked to the door of the royal study, he was stopped by a guard.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty is discussing business.”

I snorted coldly.

“Tell him to come out here.”

The guard stiffened. Right at that moment. The electric door opened. Several ministers walked out one after another. Everyone bowed low when they saw me. The atmosphere is so strange that it makes me feel like something is wrong. Right after that. A familiar voice rang out.

“Let her in.”

I immediately walked across the threshold. The royal library is large. The desk was filled with medals. King of Qin... no, now he should be called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He sat behind the desk. Eyes a bit tired. As soon as I saw him, I got angry.

“What do you mean?”

He raised his eyebrows.

“Still sleeping in my bed!”

The more I talk, the angrier I get.

“Shouldn't you go find Diep Thanh Thanh right now?”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. He raised his head. First time since I've known him. I saw a bewildered look appear on his face. I laughed coldly.

“Don't pretend.”

“Diep Thanh Thanh is preparing to leave the capital.”

“Shouldn't you go after her?”

"In your heart, there is clearly only her."

“Why are you bothering me by running now?”

I even snorted coldly. But this time. He didn't get angry. Didn't object either. Just look at me for a long time. It's been so long that it's starting to make me feel uncomfortable. He suddenly burst out laughing. I was stunned.

“What are you laughing at?”

He bowed his head. One hand against forehead. The laughter grew louder and louder. But it's not fun. On the contrary, it was like being irritated to the extreme. I've never seen him like that. A while later. He just raised his head. Eyes are so complex that we cannot understand them.

“Ci Van Khe.”

“For the past two years.”

“Do you really think so?”

I frowned.

“Isn't that right?”

He was silent. Then suddenly stood up. Go to the back bookshelf. At moment later. He brought a thick stack of documents. I looked at the pile of papers in front of me.

“What is this?”

“Chapter.”

I was stunned.

“Why show me these things?”

He pulled out a chair and sat down opposite. Cold voice.

"Don't you always think that Diep Thanh Thanh and I have feelings?"

“Then take a closer look.”

We sell faith and sell doubt go out. First page. It is a chapter about the famine in Jiangnan. It records in detail how sweet potatoes became popular. Second page. It's a military supply report. Inside is clearly written how explosives and artillery were brought into the army. Third page. It's a secret message. Talking about other princes secretly interacting with Diep Thanh Thanh. There is someone who wants to kidnap her. The more I look at it, the more strange it becomes. Because from start to finish. These things are all related to the government. Related to people's livelihood. Military related. There are absolutely no words about male and female love. I slowly raised my head. He is looking at me. His eyes were calm and terrifying.

“Are you done watching yet?”

I don't know what to say. He smiled faintly.

“She discovered sweet potatoes.”

“Helping millions of people not starve.”

“Making explosives.”

“Help the frontier win the war.”

“Improving military pay.”

“Helps the military save countless dollars.”

“Every single thing is related to national and social principles.”

“I keep her by my side.”

“It's because of Great Qin.”

“Not for love.”

I pursed my lips. There was suddenly a bit of chaos in my heart. But still try to be strong.

“So... then why are you treating her so well?”

“Be with her every day.”

“Protect her every day.”

“And because of her, you argued with me.”

He suddenly burst out laughing. This time it was a cold laugh.

“Ci Van Khe.”

“Do you know how many assassination attempts I have saved for her in the past two years?”

“Do you know how many people want to steal what she knows?”

“Do you know what the consequences would be if I didn't keep her by my side?”

My throat is choked. Can't say a word. He continued to look at me. His eyes gradually became sharp.

“If I really love her.”

"Why haven't you paid her in the past two years?"
