Chapter 9 — Reborn and Surprised the Regent King

He laughed coldly.

“From the beginning, you married me just because you wanted to take advantage of me, right?”

“She had planned everything out in advance.”

“Even your own death.”

“It's not…”

I shook my head. Tears fell silently.

“Phong Quyet, I…”

I want to say. I love you. But that sentence stuck in his throat. No matter what, I can't say it out loud. What right do I have to say that I love him? Right from the start. I deceived him. Take advantage of him. He turned to the medical officer Vuong and let out a roar. The royal physician seems to have received a general amnesty. Rushed out. In the study room. There's only two of us left. So quiet it felt like death. It's been a long time. He slowly let me go. Then stand up. Turn your back to me. The voice no longer sounded any emotion.

“From today.”

"She obediently stayed in the Royal Palace for the king."

“Don't go anywhere.”

"This king will find all the best doctors in the world to come and treat her."

“Tham Nguyet Tri.”

He said every word. Like giving orders. Which is like begging.

“You listen clearly.”

“Without the king's permission.”

“She must not die.”

He also didn't turn back. Leave the study room directly. He was already angry. I hurt his heart. Since that day. Phong Quyet really sent people to all the famous doctors in the world. Rare medicinal herbs were continuously brought into the Royal Palace. So much that it's like water flowing non-stop. In my room. Every day is filled with the strong smell of medicine. But my body hasn't had any good changes. It gets worse and worse. Every day Phong Quyet comes to visit me. But he doesn't talk to me anymore. He just sat by the bed. Quietly look at me. Sitting once is all day. His eyes were very complicated. There is heartache. There is anger. There is another emotion that we cannot understand... Despair. He is using this method to punish me. It's also punishing yourself. My life. The countdown has really entered the stage. On a snowy winter day, I felt like I couldn't stand it anymore. I told the maid to call Phong Quyet. When he arrived, there was a big snowstorm outside. Snowflakes as thick as goose feathers kept falling. He wore a black robe. Carrying a tired look after the hasty journey back. Between the eyebrows still lingers a languor that cannot be dispelled. He lost a lot of weight.

“He's here.”

I smiled at him. He went to the bed. Sit down. But didn't say a word.

“Phong Quyet.”

I took his hand. That hand was cold. His body stiffened slightly. But still didn't speak up.

“I lied to you.”

“I took advantage of you.”

I look at him. Tears slowly rolled down.

“But I really…”

“I really like you…I love you.”

That sentence also came out of his mouth. His body suddenly shook violently. He raised his head to look at me. Eye rims are scary red.

“She said it again.”

His voice carried a tremble that was difficult to detect.

“I love you, Phong Quyet.”

I used all my last strength to do it again.

“I like it very much.”

“If... if there is an afterlife.”

“I don't want to report more enemies."

“I want to be your true wife once and for all.”

My vision started to become blurry. I see him. That noble and noble Regent. The man has never bowed his head to anyone. Shedding tears. Transparent tears slowly rolled down from his deep eye sockets. Falling on the back of my hand. Heartbreakingly hot.

“Nguyet Tri…”

He bent down. Hug me tightly in your arms.

“Don't go…”

“I beg you…”

“Don't leave me…”

This is the first time. I heard him use such a weak and pleading voice. I raised my hand. I want to wipe away his tears. But that hand could only lift half of it. Falling down helplessly. I see the panicked face. Desperate. His pain was excruciating. I heard him calling my name. Over and over again. Tearing my heart apart.

“Nguyet Tri ——!”

Sorry, Phong Quyet. I broke my promise to you again. If there really is an afterlife... I will definitely never let go of your hand again... I'm dead. In the last moment of my life, I heard Phong Quyet's call. That call was so hoarse and desperate that it seemed like it wanted to tear apart heaven and earth.

“Nguyet Tri ——!”

I really want to open my eyes and see him again. I really want to tell him not to cry. But in the end, we still can't do it. Consciousness gradually sinks into endless darkness.
