Chapter 2 — My Best Friends and I Go Back to Ancient Times

In front of the delicately carved window frame, the tall figure of Thinh Lang Han was standing there. His face was cold and gloomy, as if the next second could crush someone. Apparently, in the past, every time I went crazy and didn't return to the palace, he would suddenly appear just like that to take me home. But this time, I felt especially scary. He seemed to know something.

“Thinh Lang Han…”

I tried to force myself to calm down, forcing a smile that was even more unsightly than crying.

“You came to find me.”

Even I didn't realize it, because I was so scared, I called him by his full name.

“If this king hadn't come to find her, would she have run away to the Ten Moon Kingdom!”

He quietly stepped forward and pressed close to me, finally cornering me. A large hand lifted up and caressed my face, pale with terror.

"Very surprising? Why do I know your plan?"

Thinh Lang Han threw a stack of papers at me. Those were the papers I used to write my escape plan, hidden very carefully. But even if he could find it, he wouldn't be able to understand it. Because it's all written in English!

“Not a bad plan.”

His voice was cold enough to resonate in my ears.

"It seems I have underestimated you. If Tuyet Niem didn't have a friend from Tay Duong, I wouldn't have known she understood foreign literature."

It's Murong Tuyet Niem again!

“What did this king say? Do you still remember?”

The hand that was touching my face gradually moved down to my neck. I immediately shivered, my legs went limp and I fell to the ground. The words he had said appeared in his mind. That was when I had only conquered half, felt unable to continue, and tried to run away. He pulled me into his arms, smiling as if teasing:

"If you dare run, I will break your legs"

I know that joke is more true than the truth. Now that Thinh Lang Han can find me here, it also means that my best friend has already been captured by Thinh Minh Thua. Because Thinh Lang Han likes the feeling of watching his prey struggle but still can't escape his palm. As for Thinh Minh Thua, he likes to directly capture and torture him. Simply put, the two cousins are perverts. Seeing that I didn't react, Thinh Lang Han threw back his cloak, squatted down, and looked at me with interest. He was silent for a long time, then used his calmest voice to say the cruelest words:

“Tell me, do you want to go to White Hell or Black Hell?”

White Prison and Black Prison are prisons built by two brothers Thinh Lang Han and Thinh Minh Thua. Inside there were the most cruel punishments and tortures. No matter where it is, it makes people live worse than die! I was so scared that there was no blood left on my face, suddenly remembering the promise between me and my best friend. Once the escape plan goes wrong at any stage, the worst option must be considered - Suicide. After successfully conquering, my best friend and I chose to stay in this world for the rest of our lives. The system promised us that if we die in this world, we will immediately return to our original world to continue living. If you can't live anymore, then the only way is to go back! I believe my best friend also thinks the same as me. So I decisively pulled out the dagger hidden in my sleeve and stabbed it straight into my heart. ＜Chapter 3＞ But in the end I was still cowardly, the knife stabbed out of place network of the heart. When I woke up from the coma, it was two days later. Thinh Lang Han lay next to me, holding me tightly in his arms. Remembering his terrified eyes before I fainted, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat and my whole body trembled backwards. Thinh Lang Han was awakened and frowned. Seeing my scared eyes, he paused for a moment, then the next second he forcefully pulled me back into his arms.

“Why do you want to run?”

I still couldn't escape the horror. I opened my mouth but couldn't make any sound.

“Speak.”

His voice softened a bit, but his dark eyes still pressed me tightly. I knew that if I answered incorrectly, I was afraid that I would have to face the choice of White Hell or Black Hell. The survival instinct made me immediately change my state. My eyes immediately filled with tears, I felt sorry for myself and said:

“Because… I'm afraid you'll hate me.”

My weakness successfully made Thinh Lang Han's mood better. In his eyes, in order to keep his heart, I used all sorts of tricks, and I could do anything. That's what made him enjoy it so much. He just saw this time as a new trick I had created to attract his attention. He hugged me happily and his voice was much gentler.

“This king has already said that as long as you obediently become my princess, I will protect you for the rest of your life.”

“So… do you still want to hide?”

I quickly shook my head.

“No more hiding.”

I thought he would relax his guard. Unexpectedly, his next sentence was like a bucket of cold water pouring straight onto my head:

“These past few days, she obediently stayed at Nghe Phong Uyen to recuperate, and was not allowed to go anywhere.”

I was imprisoned by Thinh Lang Han in Nghe Phong Uyen. The eyes and ears that my close friends and I installed in Thinh Phu were also wiped out. The people in Nghe Phong Uyen, as promised, absolutely did not mention anything outside. I don't have any news about my best friend. Fortunately, we are sure that my best friend, like me, cannot commit suicide. Otherwise, as a general's wife, the funeral would have been held long ago in the palace. I can only wait a few more days. Waiting for Thinh Lang Han to relax his guard and release me from detention, then I will go meet my best friend to reconsider my long-term plan. But I didn't expect that after just three days, I heard that my best friend had met with trouble. The whole Thinh palace knows that I have excellent medical skills. So as soon as something happened to my best friend, Thinh Minh Thua immediately ordered someone to take me from Nghe Phong Uyen to Thach Tuyet Vien, forcing me to diagnose her. Looking at my best friend who was all wet, breathing weakly lying on the bed, with a room full of doctors kneeling, I immediately knew the situation was extremely dangerous. I didn't dare delay even a moment, so I quickly walked to the bed to check her pulse. The moment the results came back, I felt like the sky was falling. My best friend not only fainted in fear after falling into the water, but also... had a miscarriage! I gently lifted a corner of the blanket, bright red blood had indeed seeped through the bed mattress. Best friends usually laugh the most, but when they're in a coma, they still frown.
