Chapter 7 — The Crown Prince Enters Hong Tran For Me

Waiting until we got ashore and could breathe again, we could see clearly that the person who saved us was Bui Huyen. His whole body was wet and extremely painful. Eyes filled with worry looked at me, repeatedly asking: "Tham Au Ninh, how are you? Can you hear me clearly?" I looked at him intently, saying nothing, but in my mind I remembered the scene of falling into the water when I was eight years old. That person also said the same words. At this time, Bui Thanh also led people to run over. Seeing that I had been rescued, he immediately reached out to carry me. I avoided his hand, looked at him with red eyes, and asked word by word: "Bui Thanh, the person who saved me that year wasn't you, right?" "Why did you lie to me?" Bui Thanh's face turned pale, and he quickly explained: "Tham Au Ninh, I didn't lie to you. I never said the person who saved you was me." I turned my head in disappointment: "Yes, you just silently admitted it." 12 Before I was eight years old, every time I entered the palace, I came to the palace. Find Bui Huyen first. He likes quiet, I sit next to him and he doesn't chase me away. Wait until I lose patience, then he will conveniently give me a delicate toy. I will stay with you a little longer. Bui Thanh once told me that Bui Huyen hated me so much, he didn't even want to talk to me, told me to stay away from him. But I don't feel that way. Although Bui Huyen rarely speaks, every time I come, he always prepares snacks and a soft pillow on the table for me. He always gave me delicate bracelets with new designs, watching me rack my brains to take them off. When we can't solve it and feel discouraged and want to give up, he will point out the key point at the right time. I feel like you're very lonely, but actually you like me by your side. Until the day we fall into the water. While struggling, I saw Bui Huyen's figure. I asked him for help, thinking he would come to save me. But when he woke up, the person next to him was Bui Thanh, who was scared. In my heart I was disappointed, I also believed Bui Thanh's words that perhaps Bui Huyen really hated me. After a serious illness, I remembered my lesson and stopped bothering him. After recovering, I returned to the palace and saw Bui Huyen's face as pale as mine. I only bowed to him from afar, no longer proactively went up to talk. But in the end, we recognized the wrong person. I grabbed Bui Huyen, my voice carrying a cry: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you saved me and became seriously ill, but I didn't know it was you. I thought you hated me so you refused to save me." "I'm sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Bui Huyen reached out his hand, paused, then took it back, stuffed a handkerchief for me, and said in a soft voice: "Don't cry anymore. Drink the medicine and get a good night's sleep." Because he fell into the water, The Queen kept me in the palace to recuperate for a few days. I often see Bui Huyen. He wasn't holding a book to read, he was also copying Buddhist scriptures. I don't dare to arbitrarily disturb you. When Bui Huyen was not present, Bui Thanh came to find me. His eyes were dark blue, his expression filled with frustration: "Tham Au Ninh, that was my fault, I'm sorry. But at first you admitted it wrongly. I didn't deny it right away, after that you kept bringing it up in your mouth, I couldn't say it anymore." "Sorry, Au Ninh, it was my mistake. It won't be like that again in the future." "You agree to marry me. Consider me begging you, okay?"I can't. Ignoring the fact that he had lied to me for ten years, he just said with a cold face: "Bui Thanh, I have made it very clear. From now on, don't mention marriage anymore." "Tham Au Ninh, are you really determined to be the Crown Princess, don't you care about the feelings between us from childhood to adulthood?"

for him has been worn clean. I don't want to marry you anymore." Bui Thanh's face was gloomy, he stared at me without saying anything. A long time later, he changed to his usual appearance when he was with me, his voice softened and coaxed: "Okay, okay, if you don't get married then that's it. There are many girls crying and competing to marry me, when the time comes, don't regret it." "Seeing that your lips are dry, I'll pour you a cup of tea to moisten your throat." Bui Thanh brought the tea cup to me and said to himself: "Tham Au Ninh, if you drink the cup of tea I poured, you'll be considered as having forgiven me. From now on, I won't mention the marriage anymore." I want him to leave quickly, without thinking too much, take the cup of tea and drink it dry. "I'm done drinking, you go home first. I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep for a while." But the corners of Bui Thanh's lips slowly curled up. Not only did he not go, he also sat down on the bed, reaching out to squeeze my chin. This distance was too rude. I wanted to push him away, but I couldn't use my strength. My whole body suddenly felt like it was burning, and my mind began to feel dizzy. "Tham Au Ninh, come here, hugging me will no longer be uncomfortable." "Bui Thanh, what have you done to me?" "Tham Au Ninh, it's all because you forced me. She belongs to me, how can I let her escape?" "Be good..." 13 My tears kept flowing, but I couldn't shake off Bui Thanh's hands.
