Chapter 7 — She stole the engagement, stole the grace that saved my life, but could not steal the person who heard my heart

I'm not in a hurry, nor am I angry.

“Inside the jade pendant is hidden a small piece of paper.”

Tham Tri Y was completely stiff. I said slowly:

"It was placed in there by my mother. On it was written my mother's wish for me."

To Kien Bach suddenly stared at the jade piece. Tham Tri Y took a step back.

“Based on what?”

Luc Thoi Dien finally spoke up.

“Depends on what the king wants to see.”

Tham Tri Y's hand began to tremble. She didn't dare refuse. The maid stepped forward, took off the jade pendant, and opened it in front of everyone. Inside was indeed hidden a thin piece of paper. The paper has turned yellow over the years. Written on it:

"Thu Van, I hope my daughter will still have light even though the day is over."

Tham Tri Y's whole body immediately staggered. To Kien Bach's face completely changed. He stared at that piece of paper, like he was really getting to know me for the first time.

“Thu Van……”

I don't look at him. I walked in front of Tham Tri Y and took back the jade pendant.

“Sister, you once said you just wanted to live a little better.”

I clasped the jade piece in the palm of my hand.

“But you shouldn't steal my light.”

Finally, Tham Tri Y's tears really fell. She turned to look at To Kien Bach.

"Master Su, I didn't mean it. I was just... just too scared."

But this time, To Kien Bach did not immediately help her.

“Three years ago, the person who saved the Royal Family… wasn't really you?”

Tham Tri Y cried and shook her head, then nodded again. She is completely confused. The whole situation was completely reversed. The eyes of the nobles looking at her changed from admiration to ridicule. Someone said in a low voice:

"It's okay to steal your sister's engagement, but you dare to even steal the favor that saved your life."

Tham Tri Y hugged her face.

“No, it's not like that!”

She suddenly turned to look at me, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Tham Thu Van, why do you have to come back? You clearly have everything, why do you still want to fight with me?"

I look at her.

“Because it was originally mine.”

She rushed forward to steal the jade back. But before he could reach me, Luc Thoi Dien was already blocking my face. He didn't even lay a hand on her, just looked at her coldly. Tham Tri Y was so threatened that he did not dare to move forward anymore. Luc Thoi Dien turned around and received the jade pendant from my hand.

“This thing, this king can testify, belongs to Tham Thu Van.”

He looked towards everyone.

“The person who saved this king three years ago was also Tham Thu Van.”

One sentence, complete conclusion. My heart finally feels a little lighter. But in the next second, Luc Thoi Dien suddenly coughed violently. He used a handkerchief to cover his lips, and blood quickly appeared on the handkerchief. My face immediately changed. The poison has taken effect. The banquet immediately became chaotic. I no longer had the mind to pay attention to others and directly supported him.

“Luc Thoi Dien!”

He raised his head to look at me.

“Finally, you won't call this king Prince anymore?”

I was so angry that I wanted to scold him. 【When do you still care about this!】 But he still looked at me and smiled.

“Tham Thu Van, my king is fine.”

【Your pulse is as chaotic as a sieve.】 He lowered his voice:

“Don't scold this king in your heart anymore.”

I gritted my teeth and helped him walk towards the heavenly palace.

“If you hear it, keep your mouth shut come again.”

In the heavenly palace, the royal physicians were so busy that they rotated. But we know very well that they cannot solve it. The poison from three years ago was called Suong Still. The poison will follow the internal force and move throughout the body. Over the years, the more Luc Thoi Dien has fought, the deeper the poison in his body has become. Today during the banquet, he got angry and forcibly suppressed his qi and blood, so the poison suddenly appeared. The royal physicians were completely helpless.

"The old poison of the Royal Family has penetrated deep into the bones. We must find the acupuncture method that temporarily blocked the poison, otherwise..."

As for the lyrics, no one dared to continue speaking. I slowly rolled up my sleeves.

“Get away.”

The royal physician frowned:

“Miss, don't be confused.”

I raised my eyes and looked at him:

“Can you save me?”

The royal physician immediately choked up. Luc Thoi Dien lay on the bed, looking at me.

“Tham Thu Van.”

“Shut your mouth.”

He was really quiet though. I took out the silver needle and lowered my hand steadily.
