Chapter 5 — Reborn and Surprised the Regent King

“I'm not going!” He stubbornly shook his head. "Nguyet Tri, I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong! Can you forgive me? Let's start from the beginning."

“Start again from the beginning?” I feel like I just heard the biggest joke in the world. "Co Chen, are you kneeling to the point of confusion? Have you forgotten how your father died? Have you forgotten how the Co family collapsed? Have you forgotten who caused all of this?"

I personally pulled you from the clouds to the mud. Co Than's face immediately turned pale.

“I don't care!” He spoke loudly. "As long as you can return to my side, I won't care about anything! My father... he colluded with the enemy to betray the country, that's a crime he deserves! The Gu family... If the Co family is no longer there, then there is no more! I only need you!"

He said it so sincerely. He said it was so painful. If it were a previous life, perhaps I would have been so moved that I was confused. But now, I just feel disgusted.

"It's late." I said. “Co Chen, it's all too late.”

"It's not late! It's not late!"

He impatiently crawled forward, wanting to grab the hem of my dress.

"Nguyet Tri, listen to my explanation! Linh Vi and I really have nothing! I have always considered her my sister! The person I love, from beginning to end, is only you!"

I laughed coldly and took a step back to avoid his hand.

“So tell me, in your past life, when I died, where were you?”

My voice is very light. But it was like a thunderclap in the clear sky, ringing in Co Than's ears. His whole body immediately stiffened. He looked at me with unbelievable eyes.

"What... what are you talking about? What past life?"

“Don't remember?”

Step by step I pressed closer to him, looking straight into his eyes.

“Then let me help you remember.”

"In your previous life, you married me as your wife, but you were extremely cold towards me. Tham Linh Vi poisoned me, you pretended not to see. In the end, you even brought that bowl of poison with your own hand and personally fed me to drink."

"Co Chen, do you remember? When I died, I was right in your arms. I begged you to save me. But you were only busy comforting the 'good sister' who was crying next to you."

Every word I say is like a sharp blade. Aggressively stabbed straight into Co Than's heart. His face gradually changed from pale white to ash color. The body trembled like a dry leaf in the wind.

“No… no way…”

“She lied!”

“She made it all up!”

He held his head, screaming in pain.

"Whether I'm making it up or not, you know it in your heart."

I looked at his completely collapsed appearance. There was no pleasure in my heart. Only a piece of desolate wilderness remains.

"Co Chen, I didn't come back to rebirth to reconnect with you."

I looked at him for the last time. The voice was cold as ice.

“I came back to collect my debt.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around. Without any hesitation, he walked back to the Royal Palace.

“Nguyet Tri!”

Behind him, Co Than's desperate screams sounded. I don't turn back. It's already over between us. Since the moment I died in his arms. It's all over. Return to the Royal Palace. I feel my head spinning. The front of my eyes darkened. I leaned against the wall and coughed violently. In the neck A sweet, fishy taste rises in the throat. I used a handkerchief to cover my mouth. Fresh blood immediately stained the pure white silk scarf red.

“King!”

The maid's panicked screams sounded nearby.

“Don't speak up.”

I leaned against the wall, breathing heavily as I spoke.

“Go... go and invite the royal physician to come.”

The royal physician is Phong Quyet's personal physician. Extremely intelligent medical skills. He quickly arrived. After checking my pulse. His face became more and more serious. He retracted his hand. Then shook his head at me.

“Your Majesty, your body... is already like a lamp that has run out of oil.”

He let out a sigh.

“Please forgive this incompetent, irreparable old man.”

“You... should still prepare for the aftermath.”

We already knew this would be the result. So don't feel surprised.

“How much time do we have left?”

“At most... it won't exceed three months.”

“Three months…”

I muttered softly. Enough for us to complete the final story. I told the maid to give the Royal Doctor a bag of gold.
