Chapter 6 — Soon You Don't Return Forever

His hand held the back of my neck tightly. I lost control and kissed hard. I spoke vaguely in the middle of the kiss. "Um..." "On the day we got married..." "Didn't big brother Thua Dien promise..." "Will I take you back to Thai Thuong to worship your mother?" But Bui Thua Dien was still just engrossed in kissing me. No response at all. My heart hangs in limbo. I intentionally made my voice softer. There were also some choking parts mixed in. "In Thai Thuong..." "During the Han Thuc period, there is a custom of newlyweds and husbands going to visit the grave together." "The first year of marriage..." "We must worship our ancestors together." "My mother passed away when I was only six years old..." "I miss you so much..." His breath was gradually taken away by him. His originally cool lips also became hot. The smell of ambergris between my lips and teeth became stronger and stronger. I'm like a drunk person. The mind is dizzy. Feeling restless in my heart. I don't know if he agrees or not. I don't know... Whether he saw through my plans or not. Right before my heart started beating so fast, I almost suffocated. I just heard his hoarse voice say, "Okay." "I will take you back to Thai Thuong."... Before Han Thuc class. Bui Thua Dien certainly kept his promise. He put aside all his busy affairs and took me to Thai Thuong by royal boat, disguised as his actions. After a few days floating on the river. The day the boat docked was also coincidentally the night before the Han Thuc period. On the water surface along the shore, small flower lanterns float lazily, which people drop down to pray for blessings and salvation for their deceased relatives. From the moment I got off the boat. Bui Thua Dien has always held my hand tightly, never letting go. The guards also changed into civilian clothes, mixed in with the crowd, following behind him step by step to silently protect him. All the streets in Thai Thuong are brightly lit. There are people selling offerings. There are people selling food used in ceremonies. There are people selling turtlenecks, paper kites, willow branches to ward off evil spirits, brooches for spring travel... Everything in the world. Crowded and bustling with people passing by. The whole street was extremely bustling. Every time I pass by a stall. Bui Thua Dien looks exactly like a normal husband. He stopped and patiently asked if I liked anything. On the outside, I tried to force a smile. But inside, I was so tense that my heart was pounding. I begged him to buy me a few branches of mandala flowers to use in my hair during spring travel. Dried mandala flower petals and ground into powder are the magic potion. Fresh flower petals soaked in wine or tea are colorless and odorless, and in just a moment they can make people unconscious. I don't know if it's because of too much stress or not. My stomach suddenly growled twice. After paying. Bui Thua Dien conveniently placed the flower on my bun. Then hold my hand and walk into the nearest pub. That restaurant was built next to the lake. He called the second child to take him to the most beautiful elegant room. Go up to the second floor. The guards voluntarily stood guard outside the door. No one followed. We open the window. The wind rushed in from the lake. Outside are small boats with countless sparkling lanterns floating on the dark water. I glanced out the window. My heart became even more anxious. But still tried to act calm and sat down opposite Bui Thua Dien. About half an hour later. A table full of delicious dishes was served. Bui Thua Dien picked up the food for me with chopsticks and then casually asked: "What do you like to eat?" "I'll pick it up for you." I rolled my eyes at the food table. Quietly squeeze the petals that were secretly plucked in your palm. Then he suddenly said: "Just now... I forgot to buy the chestnut cake that I like the most..." Fortunately, Bui Thua Dien did not suspect. He stood up and walked out the door. Give the guard a few instructions. I don't have time to think much anymore. Immediately throw all the flower petals hidden in your hand into the wine jar. Done it all.

My palms were wet with sweat. Even the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. Once the story of the escape is revealed... Bui Thua Dien will definitely kill me. But... This is also the best opportunity. Because next time I will be able to leave the palace or not... No one knows. Until Bui Thua Dien returned. I frantically stuffed food into my mouth. Eyes agitated. I was so guilty that I didn't dare look straight at him. "Why are you eating in such a hurry?" "I'm not fighting with you." Bui Thua Dien laughed. He slowly sat down. Pour a cup of wine. I drank it all myself. "My first kiss with you..." "It was on the night of proper drinking." I don't know what to think. His eyes looking at me gradually became filled with lust. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable. "Yeu Yeu." "Come here." He waved his hand and called me. Then patted my thigh. Signal me to sit up. My whole body is tense. Afraid he would discover something unusual. Even if you don't want to. We're still moving forward step by step. Obediently sat on his lap. Right after that. He grabbed my chin and kissed me down. Taste the alcohol in his mouth. I pursed my lips. No matter how much he teased, he refused to open his mouth. I'm just afraid that I will be unconscious because of the drug. Bui Thua Dien was a bit frustrated. His cool hand slid under my skirt. Maybe... He intends to use the same method as always to punish me. Just when I bit my lip and prepared to endure that humiliation. Shoulders suddenly felt heavy. Almost made me fall to the ground. I quickly grabbed Bui Thua Dien who was unconscious. Carefully lay him down on the floor to avoid alarming the guards outside the door. Everything... It's so convenient that it's beyond imagination. I jumped through the window. The moment the whole person sank into the cold lake water. I was so cold that I took a deep breath. Chatter. Try your best to swim to the other shore.
