Chapter 4 — Reincarnated in the Marquis Palace
Prince Tho Ti evaluated me once, then laughed loudly:
"I didn't expect that Dai Chau would have such a delicate and brave little lady. Is it okay if I borrow it?"
Speaking of that, he comfortably placed the nine-link chain into my hand. Ice-cold jade is truly a rare and beautiful jade, unsurprisingly valuable. It's just a pity... today, it had to break.
“Whoa!”
The crunching sound rang out, the nine-link chain fell from my hand to the ground, broken pieces of jade scattered all over the floor. The whole hall was as quiet as paper. I leisurely bowed and bowed gently:
“Your Highness, it has been solved.”
Prince Tho Ti's face was pale and his eyes sparkled as he looked at me. At this moment, applause rang out from the last table. Tran An Vuong curled his lips and smiled, speaking indifferently:
“Lady Hou really has courage and strategy.”
Prince Tho Ti felt as if his throat was blocked, so he could only grit his teeth and bow to Tran An Vuong, then turned to bow to the Crown Prince, and said in a low voice:
“The country of Tho Ti vows to bow down to the gods, from now on, every year they will offer tribute, never to be duplicitous.”
“Ha ha ha!” On the throne, the Crown Prince laughed heartily, turned to Tong Lan Trieu and said:
“Lan Chau, this time you really picked up a treasure!”
Tong Lan Trieu finally breathed a sigh of relief, came to hold my hand, smiled softly and said:
“Nhu Nguyet, you are so smart, our future children will definitely be more intelligent than others.”
He doesn't know that even if he kills me, I will never give him another child. The banquet ended and Prince Tho Ti was sent to rest. The prince happily asked me:
"Mrs. Vinh Xuong Hau, my family has given you a request. As long as you say it, I will definitely grant it. Quan is no joke!"
Tong Lan Trieu quickly stepped up and laughed:
"Thank you so much, Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is originally the wife's duty, she doesn't dare to accept the reward, it's just..."
“I want to separate with Song Lan Trieu.”
My cold voice rang out, interrupting Tong Lan Trieu's words. The space suddenly became suffocatingly silent. Compared to the moment I broke the Nine Links, this moment is even more quiet. The Crown Prince smiled wryly, took a sip of wine, and slowly said:
"Are you drunk? These words are just drunk words, right?"
I knelt down, lifted my sleeve, revealing my white wrist, there - the cinnabar stain was still intact, not fading at all. IX.
"Your Highness, I have never been drunk. Since the day we got married, Vinh Xuong Hau and I have never had food as husband and wife. This cinnabar stain is clear evidence. That is enough to show that I and the Marquis are at odds. Please, Your Highness, please approve."
The surrounding women began to stir and gossip. But we have taken this step, there is no turning back anymore.
“I voluntarily gave up my dowry and left the palace cleanly, only asking for your highness's success.” I bowed my head in gratitude, knelt straight and did not get up.
Suddenly, Tong Lan Trieu suddenly tightened his grip on my wrist, leaned close to my ear, gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Lang Nhu Nguyet, you are just a businesswoman. If it weren't for marrying into the Marquis Palace, where would you get your current position? Do you think the Crown Prince can help you? Your father and Tran An Vuong's relationship is unclear. If it weren't for my protection, would he be safe until now?"
As expected, Crown Prince He waved his sleeves and slowly stood up:
“Let's disperse, you're tired too.”
I fell to the ground, my face pale. Reconciliation is our own matter, we cannot let our parents be innocently implicated. Suddenly—
“Whoa!”
A tea cup was broken, the chair was pushed hard, Tran An Vuong angrily left his seat. I laughed miserably and was dragged back to the Marquis Palace by Tong Lan Trieu and thrown straight onto the bed. He fiercely tore my clothes, but my heart was numb, I no longer felt anything. Reborn in another life, I did not expect that I would be even more tragic than my previous life. I cannot escape the Marquis Palace, I will never escape the Song Lan Dynasty. One wrong step, wrong for life. I let go of everything, closed my eyes, and let my tears flow quietly. Suddenly, “Thump! Thump! Thump!” There was a loud banging on the door, and I woke up and opened my eyes. Tong Lan Trieu did not stop his movements and smiled coldly:
“Even if the Heavenly King comes today, he won't be able to save her.”
He shouted loudly outside:
"Go away! Don't ruin this Marquis's excitement!"
But the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, mixed with the servant's panicked voice:
"Master Marquis! Tran An Vuong has sent his army to enter the castle! If we don't run, we won't be able to make it in time!"
Tong Lan Trieu stopped, immediately stood up, and rushed out the door in panic:
"Quick! Quick! Bring everything you packed up earlier..."
I sat blankly on the bed, feeling confused. Has Tran An Vuong rebelled? But right now, we have more pressing matters to deal with. I adjusted my clothes, put on a coat, picked up an envelope from the table, and quickly chased after him. When I arrived, Tong Lan Trieu had already led a few of his confidants, carrying silver and jewels, to the anus and prepared to board the carriage.
"Tong Lan Trieu, you can go, but leave your fingerprints on this letter of separation. From now on, you and I will go our separate ways." I raised my voice firmly.
Van Chi also hugged her pregnant belly, hurriedly ran over, cried and begged:
"Master, you are gone, what should I do? You are the Crown Prince's person, Tran An Vuong will definitely not forgive me! My belly is still carrying your bones and flesh, please take me with you! I beg you!"
But Tong Lan Trieu didn't bother to look back, just quickly ordered:
“Get in the car! Quick!”
My face turned cold, without hesitating any longer, I shouted loudly:
"Where is he? Stop him, whoever can stop him will receive a big reward!"
From behind me, more than ten families immediately rushed out, blocking his carriage. These are all people who receive benefits from me. Now that Tong Lan Trieu abandoned the palace and ran away, they naturally understand who is the real master. The two guards next to Tong Lan Trieu immediately drew their swords, and the unarmed families had to be cautious and took a step back. I took a step forward and said in a low voice:
“Put your handprint, I won't waste your time.”
“You…!” Tong Lan Trieu gritted his teeth, his eyes full of indignation. But time was urgent, he had no other choice.
He fiercely bit the tip of his finger, dripping blood on the peace letter, viciously imprinting his fingerprints.
"Lang Nhu Nguyet, do you think that with this divorce paper you can escape from the Marquis Palace? Dream! Tran An Vuong is a murderer without blinking an eye..."
The carriage's wheels rolled quickly, sweeping away the dust, his figure gradually disappeared into the night. I leaned against the wall, almost collapsing. But, heart I was extremely relieved. I clasped the peace sheet in my hand—No matter what, I was free. X. Immediately afterwards, Tran An Vuong's soldiers stepped on iron horses, raised torches high, and surrounded the Marquis Palace. I smiled bitterly, Tong Lan Trieu was truly heartless, he didn't even bother to take Van Chi and the child in her womb when he ran away. The leader shouted loudly:
“Where are Marquis and Marquis?”
I sighed, walked away from the servants, bowed and bowed:
"This mandarin, Vinh Xuong Hau, has run away. I used to be his wife, but now we have separated."
The general didn't believe me right away, so he immediately sent someone to search the entire palace, carefully examining my peace agreement. At this moment, Van Chi suddenly screamed miserably and then collapsed. Amniotic fluid breaks.
“Wife… madam… save me… save my child… Quick… find a midwife!”
But the palace was in great chaos at this time. Besides my trusted families, all the maids and other servants had fled. I gritted my teeth, turned to the general, and said softly:
“Officer, I wonder if you can help us find a midwife?”
Vinh Xuong Hau has already run away, I - a person who has reconciled with him - helped her ask a question, which is also considered devoted. To avoid trouble, I also ordered someone to lift a golden box and place it in front of him.
“A little thought, general, please accept it.”
He smiled coldly:
"Tran An Vuong's soldiers have never accepted bribes."
I fell into a difficult position, thinking I had just escaped, but now I fell into the path of death. But unexpectedly, after failing to find Tong Lan Trieu, the soldiers did not take any action against me, leaving only a few people to guard, temporarily placing the entire palace under house arrest. Not long after, a midwife who specializes in serving the palace was brought in. This situation makes me a little surprised. Indeed, Tran An Vuong loves his people like his own son... It is said that this political upheaval came quickly, but ended just as quickly. In just one night, eighty thousand of Tran An Vuong's elite soldiers attacked the royal palace. The Crown Prince saw that the situation was not good, so he took some of his confidants and fled. As for Tran An Vuong, he has no interest in pursuing the defeated. No one knows what he said to the dying emperor. But there is a rumor that when he entered the palace, His Majesty, who was already tired and about to die, suddenly woke up, held his hand, and emotionally exclaimed:
“Baby, you've finally arrived.”
"This position originally belongs to you. But you don't want it, and I can't force it. Do you think clearly now?"
No one knows what Tran An Vuong replied, only that the old emperor was stunned, then burst out laughing:
“As expected of being my son, you truly have my old style— Wearing a helmet to battle because of your beauty!”
From then on, Tran An Vuong Giang Tu officially ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. As for me, I am still under house arrest, every day someone brings me delicious food and beautiful clothes, making me rounder. Am Nhi looked at me, so angry that she stomped her foot:
"Miss, are you still eating? Quickly find a way, the woman has already separated, wanting to remarry is more difficult than going to heaven!"
I chuckled, drank a spoonful of bird's nest, and didn't answer. Am Nhi muttered:
"The servant saw that the officer guarding the Marquis Palace treated the young lady very well. He is not married, so he must have feelings for the young lady! Even though he doesn't have a big salary, the young lady doesn't need to worry. people with money! The most important thing for a woman to remarry is to find a husband who loves her.
I almost spit out the bird's nest. But a cold voice rang out one step ahead of me. XI.
"Someone, bring this talkative girl down to me."
I raised my head in surprise, only to see the new Emperor Giang Tu standing in front of me. Am Nhi did not understand what happened, knelt down on the ground, repeatedly begged for forgiveness, and the mandarin she had just mentioned was also dragged away to be executed. At this moment, the new emperor Giang Tu calmly waved his hand, his tone cold:
“Come down and punish, from now on you are not allowed to appear in front of Lang Nhu Nguyet.”
Immediately, without any appointment, the other two knelt down, panicked, crying and begging. I laughed, the corners of my eyes curled up, my eyes sparkled cunningly:
“Your Majesty, I remember! Looks like the person who respected me has remembered, so let them go, okay?"
“Oh?”
Giang Tu raised his eyebrows, waiting for me to continue.
“That year, I went on a trip to the suburbs and stayed at an inn. That night, a seriously injured man in black barged into my room. I helped him hide… That person is Your Majesty, right?”
“You can't blame me for forgetting. That was the first time I left my room and encountered such a terrifying incident. The next day I was feverish and unconscious, and when I woke up I couldn't remember anything..."
I was about to say more, but Giang Tu leaned closer, placed his lips on my forehead, then lowered them to my lips, a kiss that was both patient and strong. After the kiss, I gasped and my face turned red. Am Nhi was so scared that she fainted on the spot.
“Because of you, I became emperor. How are you going to compensate me?”
The voice was low, hot breath blowing on my ear. Embarrassed, I buried my face in his chest.
"I... have reconciled with him..."
“I know.”
When I open my eyes again, I am reborn and return to this Marquis palace once again.
“Isn't that how it ends?”
Giang Tu looked at me and calmly replied:
“Maybe.”
I raised my eyebrows and smiled mischievously:
“So before, I had chosen many beauties for the Marquis Palace, but had not yet had time to bring them to the palace. Now do you want it?”
Giang Tu paused slightly, looked at me with deep eyes, then shook his head:
“No need.”
After that, he added another sentence:
“I just want you.”
For some reason, I leaned against his chest, tears suddenly falling. Pray for people to gain people. After two lifetimes of waiting, it was finally fulfilled. End
