Chapter 1
Chapter 1 — Silver Hanh Falls, Silver Hanh is Born Again
During the royal banquet, when His Majesty asked who saved the Crown Prince, I no longer stood up. In my previous life, His Majesty gave me to the Crown Prince to be his maid. I was in fear and served him for many years, but in the end I was still forced to take possession of him. After the unfortunate pregnancy, he personally forced me to drink death soup. Waiting for the day the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he makes me a nobleman. Not long after ascending the throne, he said that the benefactor who saved his life was someone else. Therefore, he threw me into the cold palace and tortured me for more than ten years to atone for the sins of others. In the end, a cup of poisoned wine ended my life. Living another life, I will not stand up again. The high platform was silent for a long time, and the officials all raised their heads and looked around. Everyone was waiting for the Prince's life-saving benefactor to come out. I respectfully stood behind the Crown Prince, unlike in my previous life, proactively accepting this credit. Looking at the straight back of the Crown Prince sitting in front, I bowed my head even lower. I don't know if it's my hallucination or not. I saw the Crown Prince slightly raise his eyebrows and glance at me. Not long after, a weak palace maid timidly walked out.
“Your Majesty, my servant's name is Ngan Hanh.”
I've heard this name before. Just because my appearance and hers are too similar, many people often discuss it. Looking at the Crown Prince's back, I finally woke up to a great realization. It turned out to be her. No wonder that for more than ten years in the cold palace, every time he came to see me, he would laugh coldly.
“A Hanh, I should have known that the back was not her.”
“Ah Hanh, you should not deceive me.”
“Ah Hanh, now you only have this body left that still has some use.”
I once heard about Ngan Hanh's fate in my previous life. It is said that she was taken away by assassins, and after being tortured for several months, she tragically died. From then on, the Crown Prince began to trample and torture me. Before I was banned from death in my previous life, he sent a eunuch to pass on words to me. The content is only one sentence:
“A Hanh, I regret not giving you death sooner.”
At that time I just laughed sadly. How ridiculous it was, clearly the night before he had locked me in bed and tortured and humiliated me. No wonder every time he goes into the room, he covers my face. Don't let me make any sound. It turns out that's it. I'm afraid that every time he sees my face, he will remember the tragic death of Ngan Hanh. I feel sad for more than ten years of living in my own palace. I just hope that in this life I can successfully stay away from him... Ngan Hanh's appearance and mine are almost identical. After meeting Ngan Hanh, people in the same room often admired me.
"The two of you look so similar, I'm afraid even your closest relatives will one day misidentify you."
I suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, a guard patted my shoulder. Wait until I turn around. He blushed and apologized, saying he recognized the wrong person. Until I was far away, he still stood looking at my back. At that time, I thought he was deliberately looking for an excuse to talk to me. But now that I think about it, that guard clearly mistook me for Ngan Hanh... Your Majesty is still exactly the same as in your previous life. After rewarding Ngan Hanh, he showed her to the Crown Prince. I breathe silently relieved, if only I could change my predetermined destiny. Then we can escape the miserable life in the cold palace in our previous life. After the reward ended, Ngan Hanh retired to the Crown Prince's side. Stand with me on both his left and right sides. When I think about the days to come, I suddenly feel a little lost. Two "clack" sounds rang out, bringing me back to reality. In sight, the Crown Prince was lightly tapping the table with his knuckles. I looked at the cup of wine next to me, only then did I react that I had to pour the wine. But before she could act, Ngan Hanh quickly picked up the wine bottle. I breathed a sigh of relief, silently thinking that luckily Ngan Hanh was here. It's not yet time for us to be happy. The Crown Prince glanced at me, then pushed the wine cup towards me. There was no emotion in his eyes. Ngan Hanh and I looked at each other and immediately understood that the Crown Prince wanted me to pour wine. I received the bottle of wine.
