Chapter 18 — Kieu Hoa Was Switched By Her Fiance, I Married The Crown Prince, He Completely Collapsed

The prison is dark and damp. When I met my brother, he was tied to a cross-shaped wooden rack. His whole body was covered in injuries, whips were lashed, and fresh blood stained his prison uniform red. His lips were chapped, his face was as white as paper, but his eyes were still as bright as before. As soon as he saw me, he was stunned.

"Vi Vi? Why are you..."

As soon as I called out, tears could no longer be held back, pouring out of the corners of my eyes. I rushed forward and untied the rope from your body. You fell into my arms, your whole body was as hot as fire.

“Brother, I'm late.”

“This stupid girl…”

He tried to raise his hand to wipe my tears, but he didn't even have the strength to lift his arm.

“Why are you crying... My brother's not dead yet.”

I supported you and guided you step by step out of the prison. Outside, the sun was shining brightly. Lieutenant Truong Hieu and the soldiers under his command were all waiting outside. As soon as they saw us coming out, everyone knelt down on one knee.

“Welcome, general!”

Tham Sach looked at them, his eyes also red.

“Everyone stand up.”

He turned his head to look at Luc Vien standing not far away, his eyes cold as ice.

“Luc Vien, today's humiliation, I will remember Tham Sach.”

Luc Vien snorted coldly, without saying a word, turned around and walked straight into the tent. This is not over yet. I helped Tham Sach back to your camp. I will treat the wound and bandage it for you. Your injury is worse than what we see. There were some whip marks so deep that the bones were exposed.

“That bastard Luc Vien!”

I gritted my teeth, wishing I could chop him into thousands of pieces.

“Stop being angry.”

Tham Sach leaned against the head of the bed and instead spoke to comfort me.

"It's just a little skin wound, it won't kill you."

Huynh looked at me, his eyes filled with sadness.

“On the contrary, a girl like you, why did you run to this place?”

I will briefly tell you everything that happened in the capital. After listening, he was silent for a long time.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... is treating me well?”

I nodded slightly.

“Your Highness is very kind.”

Tham Sach sighed softly.

“Vi Vi, you've grown up.”

I pulled the blanket back to cover you carefully.

"Brother, please rest well. Leave the rest to me."

Leaving the camp, I called Lieutenant Truong Hieu.

“Lieutenant Truong Hieu, I have something I need you to do.”

“Your majesty, just leave it as you are told!”

I leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words. After hearing that, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately took orders to leave. Night gradually falls. The entire military camp was immersed in a piece of silence. At that moment, a commotion suddenly came from afar.

"It's on fire! The grain warehouse is on fire!"

The firelight shot straight up into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red. The fire in the grain warehouse burned continuously all night. The entire Nhan Mon Quan was plunged into chaos. Luc Vien frantically commanded soldiers to put out the fire. But the fire was too big, and the strong wind made it burn even more fiercely. By the time it was dawn, the entire grain warehouse had turned into a desolate, blackened land. More than 100,000 military provisions were burned. This crime is a hundred times more serious than his attempt to murder Tham Sach. Luc Vien stood in front of the ruins of the grain warehouse, his face as white as ashes. He's done. Completely done. I stood not far away, looking at him coldly. This fire was set by Lieutenant Truong Hieu himself. I don't just want to save my brother. I also want Luc Vien to pay the most terrible price for all the things he has done. Take people's religion, give it back to people. He wants to use "military tactics" to put my brother to death. Then I will also use that same "military tactic" to push him onto the dead end. Not long after, Quan Quan used eight hundred miles of fire to rush this matter back to the court. The destruction of military provisions is a serious matter. Emperor Long Nhan was angry and immediately dismissed Luc Vien from his position and sent him back to the capital for investigation, awaiting resolution. At the same time, I ordered my brother Tham Sach to temporarily take over the position of General, stabilizing the army. On the holy day, when he arrived at Nhan Mon Quan, Luc Vien was put in shackles and escorted to a prison car. When he passed by me, he stared at me, his eyes as if he wanted to swallow me alive.

"Tham Vi! It's you! You're the one who harmed me!"

“It's true, so what?”

I looked at him, his expression calm.

“This is the outcome you deserve.”

“Even if you become a ghost, I will not forgive you!”

"Unfortunate."

I smiled softly.

“You don't even have the chance to become a devil anymore.”

The road to escort him back to the capital will never be peaceful. Even if it was Tieu Hanh or my father, I would not let him live to see the sun of the capital.
