Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — My Best Friends and I Go Back to Ancient Times
<Chapter 8> As usual, I went to Thap Tuyet Vien to visit my best friend. Over the past few days, her body has almost completely recovered. Every day, the thing she cares most about is asking me about the progress of the anti-death medicine. Today, as soon as I entered the room, she probably realized something was wrong with me and immediately asked me what was wrong. I said:
“Sorry... I failed.”
I told my best friend what had just happened. My best friend immediately comforted me:
"It's okay! At best, we'll go back. You're a doctor, I'm a psychological counselor!"
Seeing that I was still sad, she shook my hand expectantly:
“Milk tea, fried chicken, coke... I remember it for a long time!”
"Yes! From now on we will be free!"
My best friend and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. We agreed to still follow the original plan... only this time, it would be real death. Because only when we truly die in this world can we return to our original world. After deciding, I suddenly felt like I could let go of everything. I returned to Nghe Phong Uyen, intending to go to the pharmacy to research a new medicine to help my best friend and I die peacefully. But I smelled the strong smell of blood coming from Thinh Lang Han's bedroom. I hesitated for a few seconds, then finally walked to his room. In the room, Thinh Lang Han sat there, his shirt taken off. A long wound appeared on his bare back, which was terrifying to look at. Even I - someone who is used to seeing blood and gore - couldn't help but shudder. That was the wound he accidentally received when looking for Ham Nhuy Thao. The bodyguard applying medicine to Thinh Lang Han looked very clumsy. Normally, if Thinh Lang Han is injured, I personally treat his wound. Thinh Lang Han saw me coming and immediately told the guard who was applying the medicine to leave. I walked over, grabbed the medicinal wine and bandages, and started treating his wound. Thinh Lang Han's voice rang out from the front:
"Are you afraid?"
I coldly replied:
“Don't be afraid.”
A long time later, I finished treating his wound. I gently wiped the sweat from my forehead, suddenly realizing that only Thinh Lang Han and I were left in this room. An unpleasant feeling of unknown origin arose in my heart. Obviously I used to be so intimate, but I feel like I'm increasingly rejecting being alone with him. I used the excuse of going to brew some medicine and wanted to leave, but Thinh Lang Han forcefully pulled me back, hugging me and sitting on his lap. I raised my eyes and suddenly met his gaze. I saw his eyes filled with love, making me stunned. Before, I considered that love my trophy. And now, I feel like my heart is full of chaos. I suddenly really wanted to know what expression he would have when Thinh Lang Han heard the news of my death in a few days. Thinh Lang Han looked at me with that look for a long time. I couldn't help but ask:
“Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that?”
He said seriously:
“Ah Nhan, let's have a child.”
My whole body stiffened, instinctively wanting to escape his arms. But Thinh Lang Han frowned and hugged tighter:
"Don't you agree?"
I avoided his eyes and replied lightly:
“Du Tiep just lost his child, I don't want to think about that now.”
The next second, I heard his voice questioning:
“Why do you care so much about her?”
I said like of course:
"She is my younger sister, if I don't care about her, who else will I care about?"
I see nothing wrong with that sentence, but Thinh Lang Han got angry. He grabbed my chin and turned around, saying very domineeringly:
“In her eyes, in her heart, there can only be this king!”
I didn't want to argue with him, so I followed his words:
“I am your Royal Highness, in my eyes and in my heart, of course there is only you.”
“That's not what I want to hear.”
I don't understand why Thinh Lang Han suddenly became serious:
"Have you forgotten, at that time you hugged me, you said even though I was just a normal person, I was still the person you loved."
“She said her eyes would forever be happy because of me.”
<Chapter 9> But he is no longer the Thinh Lang Han that I once liked. I responded silently in my heart, but didn't say it out loud.
"Thinh Lang Han," I called his name, looking at him with steady eyes,
“No matter what happens, my eyes will always be happy for you.”
He seemed to be comforted, lifted my face, bent down to kiss... The fake death medicine couldn't do it, so it turned into real poison. I added a few medicinal herbs to it, ensuring that my best friend and I would be able to die peacefully and without pain. In less than a day, I finished making the medicine and preparing the pills. I gave one pill to my best friend, I kept one pill, and then we drank it down together. This medicine will not cause us to die immediately. It only causes our bodies to gradually deplete, and eventually we run out of blood and die. The next day, I suddenly vomited blood and fainted. Thinh Lang Han invited almost every famous doctor in the capital to diagnose me. The doctor concluded that I was working too hard and there were several conflicting toxins in my body. When I woke up, Thinh Lang Han worriedly held my hand and asked:
“Why is there poison in her body?”
I turned away and said softly:
"If it weren't like that, how could Murong Tuyet Niem be cured?"
I mean, in order to prepare medicine for Murong Tuyet Niem, I tested the poison myself, and brewed the medicine day and night, which damaged my body. Thinh Lang Han of course understood my meaning. He was silent for a few seconds, then squeezed my hand and seriously assured:
“I will definitely make you cured.”
Only I know... I will never be able to recover. On my close friend's side, the medicine also quickly took effect. Her constitution is different from mine. Because she had just had a miscarriage and suddenly contracted wind and cold, causing her old illness to relapse, she was in a coma for three days and three nights. Just like that, my condition and my best friend's condition became worse and worse. Thinh Phu changed dozens of doctors over and over again, but still saw no change. Thinh Lang Han and Thinh Minh Thua still had some gratitude towards me and my close friend, so they left the capital together to invite famous physician Bong Lai to come treat us. Even though my best friend and I were sick and weak, we still wanted to see the scenery here one last time. We went to Thinh Phu back garden to enjoy flowers. This season, only chrysanthemums are blooming. But chrysanthemums are also so beautiful. My best friend and I looked at the brightly blooming flowers, our mood also cheered up a bit. But at that moment... someone we didn't want to meet appeared.
