Chapter 5 — The Queen Returns, The Prince Regrets

Tieu Dich grabbed my wrist and took me into an abandoned side room next door. The room is small and narrow, the two of us can barely stand next to each other. Tieu Dich let go of my hand. Immediately took a half step back, as if afraid of being rude to me. "Just now the situation was urgent, I offended." I shook my head. "Thank you, Your Highness."18. Outside the door, Tieu Tuan's voice quickly rang out. "There's no one." On Ngon lowered his voice and said: "Maybe it's a stray cat." Tieu Tuan didn't leave immediately. His footsteps lingered outside the door for a long time. From a thin wooden door, we can almost hear his breathing. Tieu Dich raised his hand to shield me from behind. His movements are extremely natural. Just as Tieu Tuan was about to raise his hand to push the door open, the voice of the night guard was heard not far away. Tieu Tuan had no choice but to stop and quickly lead On Ngon away. Only then did I slowly breathe a sigh of relief: "Why is your Highness here?" Tieu Dich paused for a moment. "I saw her walking towards Thien Vien alone, so I followed her to see." He spoke very calmly, but I couldn't help but raise my head to look at him. The Royal Palace is not small, how could you just see me? Unless his eyes are always on you. I won't ask anymore. Just recite every word you hear. After listening, Tieu Dich's face became colder and colder. "Where is the porcelain bottle?" "It's still on Tieu Tuan." "If you don't take it out tomorrow, there will be no evidence." Tieu Dich looked out the door: "There will be evidence." I was a bit stunned. He raised his hand, and a black-clothed guard silently landed outside the window. In her hand, she was holding the piece of jade pendant Tieu Dich had just thrown away. "The secret guards heard what they just said." Tieu Dich calmly said: "The entourage he brought with him, the people he came into contact with, the things he took, I will have someone investigate clearly. You don't need to worry." I looked at him, for the first time in my heart, an unprecedented feeling of peace was born. Unlike Tieu Tuan's protection in his previous life, Tieu Dich just calmly resolved everything, then told me not to worry. And Tieu Tuan will exaggerate the seriousness of everything, making me not dare to act arbitrarily, only daring to hide under his wings, not meeting outsiders. 19. Tieu Dich escorted me back to the hospital. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped walking. "Tonight, I will have someone supervise the things you use." "But it's best not to leave the jade bracelet on your body." I unconsciously grabbed the jade bracelet in front of my chest. "So where should I put it?" Tieu Dich was silent for a moment. "If you trust me." I took off the jade bracelet and gave it to him. Tieu Dich did not immediately accept it. He bowed his head and looked at the half jade bracelet in my palm. There seemed to be a hint of dismay in the bottom of her eyes. "When I was little, she always gave me things to keep." I was stunned: "Did I really trust your highness before?" Tieu Dich raised his eyes. "Yes." "When she broke her father's inkstone, she would give her the broken pieces." "When she accidentally ate her mother's cake, she would hide the empty plate in her bookcase." "When she was punished for copying a book, she would also cry and ask me to copy it for her." As he said those words, a very faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. Completely different from his usual cold appearance. I looked at him, suddenly feeling sour in my heart. It turns out that before being taken away, there was someone who remembered every little thing about me like that. "So your highness hid everything for me?" I couldn't help but ask. Tieu Dich was silent for a moment, then laughed a little, shaking his head: "The ink is hers to pay." "The cake was bought by her." "And the book was punished for copying..." Rarely did he stop for a moment. "I copied more than half of it for her." I laughed out loud. "Isn't it true that Your Highness has tolerated me since then?"

"Little Dich?" Tieu Dich looked at me, with a gentleness in his eyes that I couldn't understand at the moment. "At that time, you thought," "you could tolerate her for the rest of your life." As soon as the words ended, both of them fell silent. Tieu Dich seemed to realize what he had just said, and quickly averted his eyes. "What I mean is, you are the daughter of your teacher, of course you should take care of her." I didn't point out, just held out the jade necklace to him a little more. "Then trouble your highness, again." Please keep it for me for once." Only then did Tieu Dich receive the jade necklace. The action was solemn as if receiving a rare treasure in the world. 20. Not long after I returned to the hospital, On Ngon indeed walked in carrying a bowl of sedative soup. On her face once again, a friendly smile appeared like before. "Dan Nhi." "You've been running all over the road today, and it's hard to sleep at night." "I specifically told the kitchen to cook sedative soup." I looked at the plate. The porcelain bowl was in her hand. "Sister is willing." Seeing that I did not refuse, On Ngon clearly breathed a sigh of relief. She placed the soup bowl on the table and asked again tentatively: "Where is your jade necklace?" I touched the empty neck. "Afraid of losing it, I put it away." On Ngon's expression changed slightly: "Where did you put it?" I smiled as if looking at her. "Why do you care so much about my jade bracelet?"
