Chapter 6 — The Side Character Who Planned to Live to One Hundred

Seeing him making noise, I stabbed him in the thigh to wake him up. “On what basis do you think that I will not be a peaceful princess, but instead become a concubine for a prisoner like you?” Dung Hao's face was punctured by me, his face looked unbelievable and unwilling. "You're still angry with me, right? The day she returned to her mother's house, I came! But Qi Uyen blocked her at the back door of her house and severely injured her. Duong Duong, you should know about that. I even asked someone in the palace to inform you." His pretense of being hurt makes me sick. Anyway, now I know that Qi Uyen once did such childish things. No wonder that day at the dowry party when he questioned me, he looked cold on the outside, but his eyes were filled with pain. I raised my sword, the tip of the sword placed it right at Dung Hao's throat, looking at his surprised face. "Are you saying that Tieu Luc was placed by your side for four years? What a pity, just after he told you the news that day, he suddenly died." Dung Hao seemed to be struck by lightning, roaring: "No! Impossible! You are not To Duong Duong! Who are you?" After practicing swordplay with Qi Uyen for a while, I knew very well that wherever I stabbed, it would hurt but not kill me. Soon, Dung Hao no longer had the strength to scream, hurting my ears. "What? If I don't lift you up anymore, then I'm no longer me? The favor that saved my life four years ago has already been paid off through all the times you took advantage of me." Dung Hao tilted his head back and gasped in pain, smiling sarcastically: "You saved my life? To Duong Duong, you're so stupid, you still don't know who saved you. Ah that's not right, there are people more stupid than you hahaha, refusing to take the opportunity to repay the favor, and just watching the girl he likes keep running after another man." "You and your husband are really equally stupid, so what about the power? Aren't you also being led by my nose like dogs?" Dung Hao's crazy laughter echoed in the dungeon, like a slap straight to my heart. If I hadn't awakened, my death would have been unfair. I didn't want to hear any more of his words like "I am the son of heaven", "I am the lord of the world", so I stabbed him one by one into his vital points, surely he would die until he could not die again before he would give up. As soon as he turned his head, he immediately met Qi Uyen's deep eyes, he was still holding a blue cloak in his hand. I felt guilty of being caught in the act and stammered: "Um... it seems he... accidentally... died." Qi Uyen put the cloak on him and carefully refastened the laces, as if nothing had happened. "Yes, it was unintentional. Tell him to pay more attention in his next life. It's cold here, shall we go home?" Qi Uyen's hands clasped my hands that were still stained with human blood, with no intention of letting go. I pretended to be lazy, not wanting to move: "I can't walk anymore, please carry me." Te Uyen laughed and bent down to carry me up. 10 On the way home, no one mentioned Dung Hao's story anymore, but I still have one more important thing to confirm. I laid my head on his shoulder, my voice deep: "A Uyen... clearly you are already a person below one person in ten thousand people, there is no need to get close to strengthen your power, why did you insist on choosing a concubine at that time?" Qi Uyen's footsteps stopped, hesitating for a moment before sighing: "Because I know you insist on marrying Dung Hao. Duong Duong, I have never been a good person, I can wait, but what I want, I will fight, I will steal, I will never let others offer it to their mouth." The sky tonight is extremely beautiful. Hearing Qi Uyen say those stubborn words in a low voice, my heart couldn't help but pound. "So when did you like me? Why didn't I know anything?" The more I spoke, the quieter I became, following the moon's example, hiding in the clouds, half my face pressed close to his back, trying to hide my shyness. "When I first entered the court, I often heard your father boast to his colleagues that he had a precious daughter, saying that everyone who met him would like him." At this point, Qi Uyen stopped for a moment and cleared her throat awkwardly. "At that time, I was still young and wild, I just thought that her father was in love with me, so I was exaggerating. It wasn't until one day, when I stood in front of the palace gate and saw her in a light yellow dress, like a butterfly rushing into my father's arms, wanting to take him home, then I understood." In my vague memory, every time I went to pick up my father, I saw a handsome young man standing nearby, preparing to leave. But because that person was dressed aristocratically, I guessed I couldn't provoke him, so I never dared to look closely. The fading memories gradually became clearer, the teenager's face gradually overlapped with Te Uyen's face. Seeing that he didn't continue, I asked suspiciously: "Is that all?" You still haven't said when you like me, right?" Qi Uyen nodded and said seriously: "Yes, that day before getting on the carriage, she smiled at me." “But no matter who it is among my father's colleagues, I will always smile and say hello…” “But at least in that moment, the smile was mine. Sunlight can shine on anyone, but the rays that fall on us, making us feel warm, are mine." Qi Uyen's stubbornness makes my heart as sweet as honey, but also makes me have another question. “If you like me, why do you keep confronting my father? When I heard you wanted to marry me, I thought you wanted to take revenge on your father." Qi Uyen shrugged, carried me higher, and calmly replied: "Who told him to brag all the time that she made cakes for him, embroidered scented sachets for him, and she likes to show off but is also stingy. The general's palace guards her so tightly, I don't have a chance to get close." "It was very difficult to meet her, but she fell into the water. Before I could pick her up, she took a few breaths and was snatched away by him. It took me a long time to find news that she had woken up, but she mistakenly recognized the wrong person to save her." I smiled wryly, then asked my father who saved me. He was angry and did not want to answer, so he only said his name in two words. Seeing that his expression of hatred was very strange, Tieu Luc then said that Dung Hao was also near the river that day. So misunderstandings continued to form. While I was still thinking about how to make up for it, Te Uyen carried me back to my room. He gently placed me on the bed, then immediately pressed down on me, slowly biting my earlobe. "The lady must have drank too much water that day and became confused, so she realized the wrong person." Qi Uyen laughed softly, her hoarse voice close to my ear making my spine numb. "It's okay, I'll help you squeeze all the water out." "You... you bastard..." As expected, the way he didn't care in the dungeon was just pretending, this dog man was so jealous that it was scary! END
