Chapter 7 — Ngoc Boi decided to fall into the hands of the Crown Prince

Trieu Tien was carried back to the princess's palace, the royal doctors were waiting there, immediately doing their best to treat him. His head had been injured before, but now it had just hit the rock. A few doctors stayed up until the sky was bright, but finally they had no choice but shook their heads and said:
"Just see if I can wake up or not. If I can wake up then it's okay. If I can't, sigh..."
For several days, Trieu Tien showed no signs of waking up. Princess Truong was too worried and fell ill. I forced myself to calm down and feed Trieu Tien food on time every day. Even half of a bowl of food cannot be put in, most of it spills out. I felt so guilty in my heart that my tears finally couldn't help but fall. It's all because I hurt him. Maybe because I was so tired and cried so much, I collapsed next to his bed and fell asleep. Don't know how much time has passed. I felt my cheek itch a bit and unconsciously rubbed it with my hand. The next moment, I suddenly woke up and sat up. Trieu Tien opened his eyes and looked at me. He finally woke up.

Thanks to the misfortune and blessing, Trieu Tien recovered his mind. His eyes turned red and he weakly said:
"Father, mother, and son are not filial. These years have made you both worried."
Princess Truong and Marquis were so happy that they cried and were so excited that they couldn't speak for a long time. I stood to the side, feeling both happy and at the same time somewhat bitter, hard to articulate. Waiting for everyone to leave, I stopped and lifted my foot to walk out.
“Nguyen Nguyen.”
I turned my head, just facing Trieu Tien's eyes. A little different from before, there is a gentle gentleness inside. He said softly: "Won't you stay with me?" Seeing me hesitate, he lowered his eyes:
“Or do you like Trieu Tien more than before?”
In the past, if he showed this expression, I would immediately coax him. Therefore, without thinking anything, I hastily said:
“No, I like it all.”
“I mean, you two are the same person, there's not much difference.”
Trieu Tien's lonely voice:
“There's not much of a difference, so there's still a difference.”
“When I was in a coma, I felt like she was still holding my hand and talking to me, but after I woke up, not only did she not come to talk to me, she also wanted to leave me alone.”
I had to sit over there and he curled his lips in satisfaction. Then he held my hand and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Because Trieu Tien was injured, our wedding was postponed. As each day passed, his wound gradually healed. Previously, I had only heard others say that Trieu Tien was intelligent when he was young. Now we can truly witness it. It didn't take him long to make up for the mental void he had lost in these ten years. Bright and clear like the moon, gentle in style. He understands to some extent and is no longer as intimate with me as before. It's also getting busier and busier. During this time, Ta Thanh Giac was always imprisoned in prison. Princess Truong and Thanh Thuong have deep feelings, Trieu Tien is also very loved by the Queen Mother. Even though Lord Ta ran everywhere, no one dared to help and ask for help. Therefore, Lady Ta prayed before me. Her eye sockets were wet and red, she no longer had any dignity, she begged and said:
"Tong Nguyen and Thanh Giac were just confused for a moment, and it was all because of you. All these years, our Ta family has treated you unfairly. I only have one son. It's Thanh Giac, please save him."
I paused, but still refused:
"Sorry, the person Ta Thanh Giac harmed was the crown prince. I really have no stance, nor the ability to influence the decisions of Princess Truong and Marquis."
Mrs. Ta's face flashed with disappointment, and she said again:
"It's cold in the prison. I'm afraid he will get sick. Can you help me give these clothes to him?"
I kindly agree. Ta Thanh Giac was struggling all over. When he saw me, his eyes lit up:
"Tong Nguyen, you came to visit me, is Trieu Tien dead?"
I said coldly: "If he is dead, do you think you can still live?"
“This is what your mother asked me to bring, you should take good care of yourself.”
Not wanting to say much to him, I turned around and was about to leave. He quickly took out a piece of jade pendant from his chest:
"Tong Nguyen, you can come visit me, you must still have me in your heart."
"Your jade pendant, I got it back. When I go out, we can get married, okay?"
I received the jade pendant, with a happy look on his face. Let go and let the jade pendant fall to the ground, breaking into pieces.
“Ta Thanh Giac, do you still not understand? Until now, it has nothing to do with this piece of jade pendant."
"I came here today, just to return the favor from the Ta family. I won't see you again from now on."
Ta Thanh Giac's screams rang out behind me. I quickly left and didn't look back again. Returning to the princess's palace, Trieu Tien seemed to be waiting for me. Seeing me, he immediately stepped up to greet me, calmly stared at me and said:
“Nguyen Nguyen, where are you going?”

I somehow felt a little guilty and said in a low voice: "Going to meet someone." Trieu Tien didn't say anything, quietly took me back to the room.
