Chapter 1 — Rebirth Leaving the Eastern Palace

When I was young, I had a lovely appearance. The Queen often teased me that she wanted me to be her daughter-in-law. Everyone believes that I will become the future Crown Princess. But later, in order to save the Crown Prince, I lost one leg. In my previous life, I traveled a long way alone to the Medicine King's Valley, begged miserably for three years, and finally cured my leg. When I returned happily, I wanted to immediately inform the Crown Prince of this good news, but I learned that he was about to marry the Tham family's lost gold for many years. I don't fight, I just intend to quietly complete it for the two of you, as a way to repay the Tham family's kindness in raising me in the past. But in the end, we still didn't get a good ending. On the day the Crown Prince got married, I died at the hands of robbers. Before I closed my eyes, a cold sentence rang in my ear: "Receive your money, eliminate the disaster on your behalf. If you want to blame yourself, blame yourself for returning carelessly and disturbing the peace of noble people." My existence has become an obstacle in their eyes. When I open my eyes again, I return to the day the Crown Prince met with an accident. But this time, I did not take action.01The palace was filled with a strong smell of tobacco. I stood quietly in the hallway, waiting for the doctor's diagnosis results. The Queen sat upright on the throne, a worried look clearly showing between her eyebrows, her eyes constantly directed towards the curtain in the inner palace. The surrounding palace staff all held their breaths, the entire main hall was silent. No one knows that in my previous life, the person lying on the bed right now was me. In my previous life, I risked everything to preserve the Crown Prince's life, but I had a leg problem that was difficult to cure. Because I wanted to be worthy of the marriage that everyone admired, I went alone to Medicine King Coc. After spending three full years of heat and cold, drinking countless bitter medicines, I finally healed the injury on my leg. However, when I returned full of joy and wanted to inform the Crown Prince of this news, what was waiting for me was the news that he was about to marry the heir to the Tham family. Everyone knows that I am not of the Tham family's bloodline. That year, when the Tham family picked me up, I was four years old. At that time, a group of wandering children stood in front of the palace gate, and my mother only chose me because I had fair skin and a delicate appearance, like a fragile porcelain statue. I also know that they chose me just because they missed their lost daughter. Now that the golden man has returned, of course I have to give way. Thinking about the Tham family's nurturing grace, I have never fought for even half of it. But in the end, I still didn't have a good ending. "A Le? What are you thinking? This palace has called you several times." The queen gently shook her hand in front of me. I quickly lowered my eyes: "I'm just thinking about what just happened. What did you just say?" The Queen breathed a sigh of relief, her eyebrows tinged with a familiar gentle smile: "Lam Nhi is okay." "A Le, Lam Nhi just woke up. She has always loved you the most, and the advice of others is not half as good as yours. Go inside and talk to her for a while." This is a chemistry that has been formed for many years. In the past, if he was a little uncomfortable, I was always the first person by his side, no one felt anything was wrong. But that was just the past. I slightly bowed my knees and bowed, gently refusing: "Your Highness, this is not good." "A man and a woman are separated from each other. Your Highness's injuries have just stabilized, and you need to calm down and rest." As soon as the words fell, the smile on the Queen's face immediately froze, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief. The person looked at me blankly, his voice carrying some doubt: "Child, what's wrong with you today? From childhood to adulthood, the two of you spent mornings and evenings together, the closest. Have you ever followed those rules?" I pursed my lips and didn't answer. That's right, we had a relationship before

Tieu Lam and I are extremely nice. Thanks to my father, I often went in and out of the Eastern Palace, and from there I got to know Tieu Lam. He likes me very much, and the Queen also especially loves me. Not because of anything else, just because I have a beautiful appearance and know how to make others happy. At that time, the Queen often pinched my cheeks and smiled and said: "Our Little Le Hoa is so beautiful, she will definitely become the daughter-in-law of this palace in the future." Everyone said that I had a good fate, becoming the youngest member of the Tham family, loved by the royal family, and the position of Crown Princess definitely belonged to me. But everything changes. Since Tham Truong Lac returned, all love has disappeared. The house is not mine, you cannot keep it. The world is so vast, but there is no place for us to live. The thin brocade curtain in the inner hall swayed slightly, and behind the curtain was a delicate but pale figure. Tieu Lam just woke up, his voice was a bit hoarse because of the injury: "A Le was scared just now? Normally she wouldn't be afraid of these things. No need to be formal, just come in here." That's right. In the past, he always treated me special and never forced me to follow the rules. But I still lowered my eyes, avoiding that hot and bewildered look. "Your Highness, please maintain good manners, and the ladies should also stay calm and not dare to exceed the limit." Not being coy, not being gentle, and not having any of the intimacy and dependence like before. The Queen looked at my overly disciplined appearance and finally thought that I had been scared by the dangerous incident just now. Although I still had doubts in my heart, I couldn't bear to make things difficult, so I calmed my voice and sighed: "That's it, maybe I'm really scared." "Go back to the palace to rest first. I'll come back to the palace another day." I leisurely bowed, turned and walked out of the palace step by step, never looking back at the people behind me even once. We understand very well. All the warmth, favoritism and dignity here have never truly belonged to me. If so, we don't need to worry anymore. The object returns to its owner, each person returns to their rightful place, that is the best outcome.
