5 "I must chop you into ten thousand pieces!" Bui Duc grabbed the long sword from Ngu Lam Army's waist and rushed straight towards Truong Thanh Palace like a hurricane. Behind, countless people chased after him in panic. "Your Majesty, please be careful. The sword has no eyes. If it hurts you, we will know what to do..." But when the sword was still on Tham To Tran's neck, Bui Duc suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and then fainted. The emperor's coma is a big deal. The Queen Mother and Princess Truong Lac hurriedly ran to Truong Thanh Palace and summoned all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital. The royal doctors tried every method, but still could not wake Bui Duc up. "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Princess, this is a mental illness." "If you have a mental illness, you have to use mental medicine to cure it." The Queen Mother and the Princess were both worried to the extreme. In a coma, Bui Duc fell into a nightmare, cold sweat poured down his head, and his mouth kept muttering something. The Queen Mother frowned, looking worried. "Truong Lac, what are you talking about, my royal brother?" Princess Truong Lac was so scared that she was about to burst into tears. She leaned closer to listen, her face immediately changed. "Dieu Dieu... is Dieu Dieu..." "Mother, the royal brother is calling Queen Van. Van Dieu is the heart of the royal brother." The Queen Mother has always disliked me, thinking that I was a beautiful beauty, fascinated Bui Duc to the point that she did not care about the court, only knowing how to love me. Since Bui Duc brought me to the palace. She confronted me time and time again. But every time that happened, Bui Duc did not hesitate and stood up to protect me. Over time, the Queen Mother became too lazy to get involved. Now because I suddenly disappeared, Bui Duc fell into a serious illness, and her hatred towards me was once again aroused. "It's all because of Van Dieu, that bastard!" "If it weren't for her, how could my son be in the same situation as today!" "Someone, go and bring Tham To Tran here. Pass on Ai's will, make her Tham Phi, move into Truong Thanh Palace to serve the emperor." "Aiya doesn't believe, there is a beauty in his heart, Bui Duc can't forget that bastard!" "Mother, I'm afraid this is not okay..." Princess Truong Lac frowned, wanting to say it again. "If the royal brother knew, he would definitely be angry. He considered Queen Van as a treasure in his heart. Previously, he did not allow Tham To Tran to appear in front of the Queen, and even more so, he did not allow anyone to enter the palace as a concubine. If he knew about this, I'm afraid..." "Ai family is his mother, this matter Ai family said it was decided!” Princess Truong Lac shook her head helplessly, looking at the comatose Bui Duc, she could only sigh. Bui Duc was completely unaware of what happened in Truong Thanh Cung. He fell into a dream. Dreaming about the first time I met you. I was originally a snake demon who cultivated for thousands of years at the foot of Thanh Thanh Mountain. Eight years ago, he was accidentally injured by a demon, and I used my cultivation to save his life. As soon as he met me, he fell in love with me. Not caring at all that I was a snake demon, he said he wanted to marry me as his wife, wanted to take me home, wanted to be with me forever. But heaven is above. Humans and lovers inherently cannot love each other. At that time, I refused him. But Bui Duc was stubborn and had no regrets, coming out of the palace every day to wait for me. Later, I was misunderstood and injured by someone, so he risked his life to save me. It's clear that I'm a snake demon, but in his eyes, I'm still just a weak woman who needs his protection. Day after day. I also gradually fell in love with him. The day I nodded and agreed to marry Bui Duc, he was as happy as a child, saying he would give me a solemn, glorious wedding. Tell me there's no need to admire any woman in the world. I smiled and asked him: “But I am not a woman

mortal. I'm a snake demon, aren't you afraid of me?" "Dieu Dieu, I love you so much, how can I be afraid of you?" Bui Duc hugged me tightly and gently said: "Even though you are a demon, you are also a good demon. I must protect her well, not letting bad people hurt her. "Eight years later. He really said he could do it. I thought, we would really be like he promised, one life and one life, just the two of us, loving each other until the end. Until Tham To Tran appeared. Bui Duc met Tham To Tran at a banquet in the palace. At that time, the Queen Mother had just forced her biological granddaughter to be taken to the dragon's bed not long ago, Bui. Duc turned against the Queen Mother, both sides were cold for a long time. The Queen Mother was so angry that she had a headache. Hearing that the Tham family had a gentle personality, her appearance vaguely resembled Queen Van. Therefore, the Queen Mother immediately sent someone to bring Tham To Tran into the palace. Initially, the Queen Mother intended to completely win Bui Duc's heart Looking at Tham To Tran once, my eyes were captivated by her. She was wearing a white dress, her body was slender and soft, under the rain of almond blossoms, her figure was dancing gracefully like a willow in the wind. At that time, I was in seclusion and did not see Bui Duc. He immediately favored Tham To Tran, and then hid her in Thinh Phong Tieu Truc He never stayed in Thinh Phong Tieu Truc for too long, only two hours at most. Even after spending time with Tham To Tran, he still quickly returned to me and hugged me as if nothing had happened. If it weren't for that time, I suddenly realized something was wrong and deliberately knocked down the candlestick and burned down Cung Kinh Nguyet. Leaving the palace, I returned to the demon path. I truly cut off my feelings and continued my path of cultivation. Before meeting Bui Duc, I was only half a step away from cultivating to become a fairy. However, people often say that I only wanted to become a fairy, because I wanted to taste the taste of love, but now that I think about it, it is really worth it. Hearing that I returned to the demon path, the Thiet Thu star did not bloom for a thousand years there, yet so surprised that it actually blooms.
