Chapter 11 — The Sister Who Stealed the Merit to Save People, I Smiled and Conceded Even to the Crown Prince

As soon as the Queen's words ended, the whole palace was so quiet that you could clearly hear the sound of burning candles. Ly Hoanh Hao stared at the files placed in front of him. His face turned from white to blue. It was clear that those lines were written very clearly, the physical witnesses were enough, and even the palace servants who had served Do Thi in the past had been found. But he still refused to believe it. Or to be more precise. He couldn't believe it. If he is not the Queen's biological son, then what has he relied on over the years to maintain his position as Crown Prince? If Tham Thanh Du is the Queen's true bloodline, then what is he? Someone who takes someone else's place. A person from beginning to end lives thanks to the exchange of the past.

“No way.”

Ly Hoanh Hao shook his head.

“This is all fake.”

“Mother, you have been deceived by them.”

He pointed at me, his fierce eyes seemed to tear away all the calmness on my face.

“It's her.”

“It must be Lieu Lang Suong's plan.”

"She hates you, that's why she colluded with outsiders to deceive people."

The queen looked at him. There was no longer any gentleness in his eyes.

“Even now, you still refuse to wake up?”

Ly Hoang Hao smiled coldly.

“How did he tell you to wake up?”

“You are the Crown Prince of Great Zhou.”

"Your father has just passed away, the throne should belong to you."

“With just one person returning from Jiangnan, do you want to wipe everything out of me?”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. Want to stand up and question. But his legs completely refused to listen to orders. The guard next to him quickly helped him. That scene made his face immediately contort with humiliation. He is the crown prince. Having to rely on others to be able to stand. But the person who made him become like that. Standing not far from him. So calm that it drove him crazy. Ly Hoanh Hao looked at me. The voice suddenly became hoarse.

“Lieu Lang Suong.”

“Tell me the truth.”

“Previous life…”

He stopped. His eyes swept over the Queen and Tham Thanh Du, finally not hiding it anymore.

“In your previous life, you married me.”

“Have you ever been honest with her?”

That question just rang out. Lieu Nhu Yen immediately raised her head to look at him. Her face became unsightly. She didn't understand why at this point, Ly Hoanh Hao still asked Lieu Lang Suong that question. Doesn't he love her? Doesn't he hate Lieu Lang Suong because of her? Why was there such an emotion in his eyes that made her so uneasy? I look at Ly Hoanh Hao. There are no ripples in my heart. If it were a previous life, perhaps this question would hurt me. But now. I just feel confused.

“Never.”

Those two words just fell down. Ly Hoanh Hao's face immediately stiffened. I continued slowly:

“I saved you because you were injured in front of me.”

“I treated your leg because I studied medicine.”

"I'll find medicine for you because the doctor is kind."

“It's not because I love you.”

Ly Hoanh Hao looked at me. The eyes turned red little by little.

“You lied.”

"If you don't love her, why did you marry her in your previous life?"

I smiled softly.

“Because my father used the person he really wanted to marry to threaten me.”

“If I don't get married.”

“Thanh Du will be in danger.”

“So I got married.”

“Not because of you.”

“But because of him.”

Electricity immediately fell into an indescribable silence. Tham Thanh Du stood next to me. His eyes wavered slightly. He doesn't know about his past life. Don't know what I used to do he endured so much. But he understood. People mentioned it. Ly Hoanh Hao looked at Thanh Du. Then looked at me again. The unwillingness in his eyes almost turned into madness.

“No way.”

“You are my Crown Princess.”

“You obviously married her.”

I calmly replied:

"Fate is not a person's heart."

“You earned that title.”

“But never had me.”

This sentence was like an invisible, aggressive slap on Ly Hoanh Hao's face. For two lifetimes. He always thinks I love him. I think I compete because I want to be the Crown Princess. I think I confronted Lieu Nhu Yen because of jealousy. Thinking that I saved him, took care of him, and treated him, all because I wanted to enter the Eastern Palace. Turns out it was all his own delusion. I don't love him. From start to finish. People want to go next to another man. Lieu Nhu Yen was completely flustered when she heard this. She quickly knelt down in front of Ly Hoanh Hao.

“Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense.”

“She intentionally angered people.”

"The person who said he wanted to marry me, the person who said he only believed in me."

Ly Hoanh Hao slowly lowered his head to look at her. Dark eyes.

“So you tell me.”

“What is the last pill?”

Lieu Nhu Yen stiffened. Ly Hoanh Hao stared at her.

“Aren't you a genius doctor?”

“Aren't you supposed to cure her leg?”

“So why didn't you know she needed the last pill?”

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Lieu Nhu Yen's forehead. She opened her mouth. Can't say a word again. The Queen then leisurely opened her mouth:

“Not just pills.”

“When His Majesty became ill, the person who actually felt his pulse and prescribed it was not her.”

A palace servant immediately presented the note. Every sentence and every word on the day Lieu Nhu Yen entered the palace was clearly recorded. Including the fact that she let Ha Tang secretly check her pulse. Including the words she said behind the screen. Lieu Nhu Yen's whole body felt weak. Fall down and sit on the ground.

“No… that's not…”

“I'm just too scared…”

She turned to look at Ly Hoanh Hao. Cry until the pear blossoms are drenched in rain.

“Your Highness, I truly love you.”

“I didn't mean to deceive people.”

Ly Hoanh Hao looked at her. First time. There was no longer any affection in his eyes. Only a terrifying emptiness remains. He trusted her for two lifetimes. Because of her, I hate the wrong person. Because of her, he single-handedly pushed his benefactor into a desperate situation. Didn't find out until finally. The person he protects. He was a liar from the start. I look at him. Dispiteous. Not happy either. Just seeing everything finally fall back into place.

“Li Hong Hao.”

Every word is clear.

“What you lost is not me.”

“It's a chance to be a kind person.”
