Chapter 3 — Khuong Ninh

"Furthermore, even though the child is no longer there, she once took away my flesh and blood. Do you think... he would still marry her?" "Even if I only have Uyen Thanh in my heart... for the rest of my life, you can only be by my side." It turns out... He already knew what I meant. That's why... He can trample on me without any hesitation. Obviously, he was the one who was killed by people. Yet after that incident, he got angry and accused me of intentionally approaching him. I looked at him in dismay. Until my eyes were covered with a thin layer of fog. The two looked at each other for a long time. In the end, he was the one who couldn't stand it anymore and turned away. Luc Van Tranh turned around and didn't look at me anymore. His voice also returned to its usual indifferent tone. "The doctor has seen it and said there's nothing wrong with your body. Just rest well, you can still get pregnant in the future." "Uyen Thanh is not a petty person. I will explain things to her personally. After the big wedding is over, I will choose a good day and accept her as a concubine. In the future, if I have a child, I will raise it in Uyen Thanh's name." "Khuong Ninh, you are already my person." This is where you belong. "Why... is he so stubborn about keeping me in the National Palace? Luc Van Tranh left. A light breeze also blew into the room. That breeze makes my mind a little more alert. Are not. Reborn again... I will absolutely no longer be by his side. … Miscarriage causes great damage to the body. I'm not in a hurry to do anything, just quietly recuperating in the palace. Luc Van Tranh invited a famous doctor to nurse me. I also obediently followed the doctor's instructions and my health gradually recovered. When I was able to get out of bed and walk around, I discovered that there was always someone guarding my room outside. "The Duke had instructed Miss Khuong not to go out at will. It's cold outside, so she should still go back to her room to rest." I silently turned my head and looked around the exquisitely decorated room, feeling only stuffy in my heart. I don't understand. Why is Luc Van Tranh so afraid of me leaving? At least... I'm not so sentimental that I think he has me in his heart. There is definitely something going wrong. Being locked in my room for more than half a month, I really felt tightness in my chest and difficulty breathing. It's just... Now is not the time to confront him head-on. "I just want to walk in the yard for a while, is that okay?" "This..." The guard standing guard in front of the door looked awkward. Right when the two sides were still struggling, Luc Van Tranh appeared. Recently, he has been busy preparing for the wedding with Moc Uyen Thanh and is rarely present in the palace. As soon as he saw me standing outside the door, he reflexively frowned. "Is your body completely cured? Standing here, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" I bit my lip and let out a long breath. "Staying in the room all day, I feel suffocated. I just want to go out to breathe." Seeing my face pale, one hand still clasped in front of my chest, the words of protest that came to my mouth were finally swallowed down by him. Luc Van Tranh gently waved his hand. The guards understood and immediately withdrew. Waiting until there were only two people left in the yard, he sighed softly, took off his cloak and carefully wrapped it around my shoulders. "If you go out to breathe, don't dress so casually." He glanced at my figure, his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. "You've become thinner lately, haven't you? I'll tell the kitchen to cook more nutritious dishes. The body still needs to be nourished well. "Since when... Luc Van Tranh knows how to cherish my body like that? I closed my eyes. The faint scent of apricot in the air crept into the tip of my nose. After going out, the feeling of heaviness in my chest actually eased quite a bit. Don't know the word

At some point, he came to stand next to me. The two stood shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the courtyard. No one said a word to anyone. But... There was a strange sense of harmony. I opened my eyes, looked at the blossoming apricot branch in front of me, and proactively broke the silence. "The apricot in Khuong Palace in the past was even more beautiful than this." People... Everyone has unforgettable memories. Hearing me speak, he also sighed softly with emotion. "That's right. At that time, I often went to Khuong Palace. Every season when apricot flowers bloomed, she and I would definitely admire them to our heart's content. At that time, my aunt also prepared a hand warmer for us, afraid that we would both get cold." I reminded softly. "There was also Diep Tri Chau. At that time, the three of us were always like shadows. "That time... It was really beautiful. The three of them went to school together. After school, they went back to Khuong Palace to have fun. Diep Tri Chau is as gentle as jade. Yet he was born into a family of martial artists. Luc Van Tranh is cold and arrogant. Again, a descendant of a godly writer. In the end... The two of them both followed in their father's footsteps. Gradually, Diep Tri Chau is no longer with us often. His father sent him to the military camp to train. It was also around that time... He returned the concubine to me. Originally, the marriage contract my father planned for me was with Diep Tri Chau. Someone once said... My personality is soft, I need a husband who is brilliant, gentle and capable of protecting me. Diep Tri Chau is gentle. But since childhood, he has practiced martial arts. Every time he rode around on horseback, he seemed to turn into a different person. Luc Van Tranh has a deep mind and is cunning. Indeed, he looks a lot like his father. What a pity... Nature is teasing. People love from beginning to end... It's always Luc Van Tranh. Diep Tri Chau soon saw that. The day he left for the border, he found me and Luc Van Tranh. Right in front of Luc Van Tranh, he handed the concubine back to me. "This trip, life and death are unpredictable. I don't want to disappoint you."
