Chapter 1 — Khuong Ninh

Verdict: After a spring night, in my belly I carried the bones and flesh of Tran Quoc Cong's palace. I know Luc Van Tranh was born cold, in his heart he never had me. More importantly, he had a woman he loved deeply. In my previous life, after discovering I was pregnant, I fled to a remote village. Three months before the birth date, on the way to patrol, Luc Van Tranh accidentally discovered that I was living in that village. Knowing that the child in my belly was his, despite many reluctances, he still took me back to the palace. Mother Moc Uyen Thanh quietly accepted my existence, but on the day I gave birth, she forbade all midwives from entering the palace. I was barely alive, begging her to save me and my child. Unexpectedly, she looked disgusted and threw my hand away. "The child of a vile woman also has the illusion of becoming the heir of the Quoc Cong palace? Don't even dream! If it weren't for the fear that you would secretly give birth to a child outside, causing disaster in the future, then you wouldn't even be able to step through this palace gate!" I will die, and the child in my womb will die as well. One body, two lives. But Luc Van Tranh only slightly frowned. "That's all. I only blame her for her bad fate and not being blessed with glory and wealth." In front of my body and my child, he softly comforted Moc Uyen Thanh who was shedding fake tears. In this life, from the moment I discover I am pregnant, I will completely stop this mistake. … In the small wooden house, there was a strong smell of medicinal herbs. Looking at the steaming bowl of broken glass in front of me, a bitterness welled up in my heart that was hard to suppress. The trembling fingertips unconsciously placed on the still flat stomach. My poor child... It's been two lifetimes and I still haven't had a chance to see this world. But what if you were born? In the end, there won't be a good ending. The world is so vast, no matter where we flee, we cannot escape the shackles of fate. Luc Van Tranh will never let his bones wander outside. Moc Uyen Thanh absolutely cannot tolerate this child. In that case, it's better to let us end this mistake ourselves. Besides... that night was originally just a mistake. I gritted my teeth, picked up the bowl of food, intending to drink it all in one gulp. At that moment, there was suddenly a commotion outside. The fragile wooden door was kicked open by someone. I turned my head back in surprise. The leader of the group... was Luc Van Tranh. Smelling the smell of toilet paper in the room, he immediately understood what I was planning to do. "What are you planning to do? Stop!" Anger was clearly visible between his eyebrows. He strode towards me, intending to steal the bowl of toilet bowl. I didn't have time to think much. I just know this is my only chance. Before he could get close, I immediately raised my head and drank the entire bowl of medicine. Seeing that every mouthful of medicine had entered my stomach, his steps stopped. When he regained consciousness, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed my chin, and tried to force me to vomit all the medicine. The blue veins on the back of his hand were bulging. Her bloodshot eyes seemed to be about to bleed. "Khuong Ninh! The child in your womb is mine! How dare you arbitrarily decide its life?" "You... how dare you..." A layer of stinging suddenly rose in my eyes. I don't know if it was because he squeezed it and it hurt... Or because of something else. If I don't do so now... Would I have to wait until the day of death and death before I can accept it? Luc Van Tranh... Has he ever protected me and my children? Or more accurately... He never thought about protecting me and my children. I don't know why in this life he knew I was dead so quickly. I don't know how he found my hiding place. Every thought in my head became more and more confused.

The medicine begins to work. A severe pain came from the lower abdomen. There was also a stream of hot liquid flowing out between her legs. Luc Van Tranh looked at the zigzag trail of blood dripping onto the floor. Blindingly red. The hand that was holding me trembled unconsciously. Not knowing when, he relaxed his strength. Losing my support, I fell limply to the ground. He stood silently on the spot. His eyes were filled with regret. Finally, he slammed his palm down onto the wooden table in front of him. The table shattered. He raised his head and screamed in anger. Before completely losing consciousness... In a daze, I saw him bend down and pick me up horizontally. I want to struggle. But my whole body no longer had any strength left. … When I woke up... I was in the National Palace. Luc Van Tranh didn't know I was awake. He clasped his hands behind his back, turned his back to me, and stood by the window. The inky night obscured the moonlight. He looked at the darkness outside, not knowing what he was thinking. Don't know how much time has passed. He sighed softly and turned around. Our eyes just barely touched each other. Four eyes looked at each other, no one said a word. But there was a flash of anger in his eyes. I suddenly shivered. He hesitated a bit, turned around and closed the window before walking to the bed. "Why did you leave the baby?" His voice was very calm. But we can still hear the trembling hidden in every word. I actually saw a trace of pain on Luc Van Tranh's face. Is he... Feeling sorry for that unborn child? But in his previous life, he also lost that child. But I also lost my life. At that time... He had never shown such an expression. Obviously, while he was not present in the palace, right when I was in labor and about to give birth, Moc Uyen Thanh sent someone to chase away all the servants and block all the midwives outside the door. The purpose... Is to prolong the time until my child and I die. "Does the child of a vile woman also have the illusion of becoming the son of the Quoc Cong mansion? Don't even dream! If it weren't for the fear that you would secretly give birth outside, leaving behind disaster in the future, then you wouldn't even dare to step past this palace gate!" Only then did I understand. Her acceptance the other day... It was just an act for Luc Van Tranh to see. After all... The child in my womb is also his lifeline. Wait until Luc Van Tranh returns to the palace... What he sees are only two cold bodies. Moc Uyen Thanh regained the cruel look on her face, cried and threw herself into his arms. "Husband, I didn't take good care of you. I ordered someone to take the midwife down and severely punish you. If you're still angry, please take it all out on me." "Anyway, it's because I didn't take good care of you that you lost your first child..."
