Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

The Prime Minister's wife, seemingly unintentionally and intentionally, led us along the winding paths between the fake mountains, her steps deliberately slowing down a bit. At that moment, in the quiet scene, with only the sound of the wind shaking the branches and leaves, suddenly came a burst of choking sobs.

“Brother Canh Hong... I... I really can't bear it anymore...”

Immediately after that, a male voice filled with pain and impatience rang out:

"He treated you so badly and humiliated you like that. Why do you have to endure? I'll take you away!"

That voice... So familiar that it makes my heart cold. That was the same voice that had coldly scolded me time and time again, yet at this moment it was so gentle and sympathizing with others. The ladies and gentlemen present around naturally also heard it. Each look silently turned towards me, each containing some pity and sympathy. I tried my best to suppress the smile at the corner of my lips, forcing myself to show the appearance that I wanted to cry but couldn't, and even wanted to laugh. Fortunately, the Prime Minister's wife quickly noticed that awkward atmosphere, smiled and said:

"Perhaps it's almost time for the party to start. We should return to the main hall first. If you sisters don't criticize the rudeness of the flowers in the palace, I will definitely hold a party to enjoy the flowers another day and invite everyone to come and play properly."

Everyone immediately obeyed her words and took the opportunity to leave. Leaving only the lovebirds who were immersed in love standing in the same place. Waiting until we returned to the main road, after a while, the other two people appeared one after another. I just glanced lightly. The hem of the shirt is a bit messy. The hair is also somewhat scattered. No matter how you look at it, it looks like you've just experienced an unforgettable moment. Even after entering the party, the two people's eyes were still entwined with each other, not even hiding half of their affection. It's just a pity that... Perhaps Ly Ham Vu was so immersed in that constant gentleness that he lost his mind and dropped the cup of wine in his hand. The delicious wine swirled and immediately poured onto the lap of the royal family's shirt sitting next to him. The prince, who had just been gentle and cheerful, his face instantly darkened.

"What's wrong? Is it possible that the Royal Palace treats you so cruelly that you can't even hold a cup of wine?"

“Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I... I didn't mean it... I'm just too....”

It's no wonder Ly Ham Vu was so scared that he lost his expression - this prince has always been famous for his cruel tactics and dangerous temper. With just one frown, human life is nothing more than entertainment to him. Moreover, he is the youngest remaining brother of the emperor, so he has been pampered since childhood, has a stubborn personality, and the emperor has never scolded him once. Not waiting for the Royal Family to speak, Co Canh Hong next to me lost his composure and immediately stood up, even his voice was somewhat urgent:

"I just accidentally spilled a cup of wine. I believe that the Royal Family is not so over-calculating, right?"

However, that prince did not even bother to raise his eyes to look at him, just faintly said:

"Does this king have any plans... what does it have to do with Little General Gu?"

"Or... General Gu has recently been unusually thoughtful, especially concerned about this king's concubine? Could it be that he's moved?"

The two words "humble concubine" are like the tip of a knife stabbed straight into Gu Jinghong's self-esteem. His eyes were burning with anger, looking straight at the Royal Family, completely forgetting where this was, also forgetting his own identity, only knowing that he wanted to stand up and defend the person in his heart.

"Vu Nhi is a famous lady, a beautiful lady! Now I have to pretend to be your concubine, but you don't know how to love, you've made her lose face many times..."

The prince raised his eyebrows, his voice carrying a cold smile:

"The late general is taking over for this king... asking for a concubine back?"

That sentence made Co Canh Hong speechless. He - just a general, appeared at a banquet for a woman with no name or status, in front of so many noble mandarins. It's truly a lowering of one's status and a loss of face.

“You… you are not worthy of Vu Nhi.”

If I weren't in the middle of a party, I would have actually laughed out loud. He scolds others for not being worthy of being a husband, so why doesn't he know himself?
