Chapter 5 — The Princess Has Not Been Separated Today
The remaining guards immediately responded.
“The Prince and the Princess were worried all night and couldn't sleep.”
“It was almost dawn before I lay down to rest.”
"But as soon as the lady arrived, she led a group of people to rush in. Without distinction between red, white and black, she scolded our Princess."
I widened my eyes and opened my mouth to look at his two subordinates with expressionless faces talking gibberish. How should I say this? Indeed, good generals do not have weak soldiers under their command. Under the guidance and deceit of the two of them, only to hear Mrs. Thi Lang let out a pitiful scream. She screamed and rushed out. She seemed crazy, constantly banging on the doors of each room. Finally, I sat down in front of a private room. Right after that. From inside came the sound of a woman crying. The sound of a man cursing. Along with the sound of objects falling and breaking. It's so intense! The old Princess has restored her usual dignified and leisurely appearance. She turned her head away and said:
“Your Majesty, I am so confused.”
“Do you know where Xuan Phong Lau is?”
“How can you bring the Princess here?”
She walked out the door. Close the door by hand. Then turned around and said to the person inside:
"After you two have rested enough, quickly return to the Royal Palace."
“There are a lot of people out there with a lot of mouths.”
"I don't know what kind of rumor it will turn into."
Xuan Phong Lau is the largest castle in the capital. If the things that Khich Lan and her mother used to oppress me in the palace before can only be considered as causing minor troubles. So today. The mother and son were clearly determined to push me into the abyss. Make me irresistible for all eternity. They tied me up to Xuan Phong Lau. And I still want to let Crown Prince Truong humiliate my purity in a place like this. Enough to see how cruel their minds are. They still think the Vuong Palace is Thi Lang's Palace. You can still be as reckless as before. From the moment the Prince lifted the tea cup, it was poisoned. He has realized Khich Lan's purpose. That cup of tea that was poisoned was drunk by Khich Lan herself. I gently pushed the man next to me. There was some surprise in my heart.
“Mother just now…”
“Don't you blame me?”
Tieu Dien gently caressed my back then bowed his head and kissed my forehead.
“How can you blame her?”
“A while ago, she even wrote me a letter, telling me to treat her well when I return.”
"Nuong said that every time she was seriously ill, someone would always quietly come in the middle of the night to give her water to drink, and wring a dry towel and place it on her forehead."
I stood frozen in place. It turned out that when Old Vuong Phi was sick, during the day I deliberately pretended to sleep until the sun rose. But actually every night I secretly go to her room to take care of her. The two cousins did not tie the chicken tightly. The towel that was wringed over and over still dripped water. The maids did not dare to stop the two young ladies. I really can't look anymore. So every night he secretly entered the Old Princess's room. Give her water to drink. Replace all damp bedding. Then he brought the bowl of bird's nest that the housekeeper prepared specifically for me and fed her spoon by spoon. Every day we leave right at dawn. I always thought that she wasn't mentally alert and wouldn't find out. Whether it's the two young ladies or the Old Princess. Everyone knows it. Think so. On the contrary, it makes me look even more like a fool. No wonder, after recovering from her illness, she always said to make extra lotus pudding in the kitchen. Then tell me to come eat. See I'm still confused. Tieu Dien leaned closer and said in a low voice:
“It was rare for Vi Vi to be so proactive yesterday.”
“How about we try one more time?”
Sure enough, what Old Vuong Phi said was right. People in the capital like to gossip the most. The very next day. The whole capital knew that the Royal Family and the Royal Highness had a deep relationship. Because we wanted to foster the love between husband and wife, we specially booked Xuan Phong Lau's premium room for one night. Some people even said. The royal family is extremely fond of the Princess. The princess became even more jealous. The prince loved her even more. People gradually forget my previous bad reputation.
