Chapter 2 — Three Years in Secret

"It's good that you're not injured. As for Diep Van That..." He paused for a moment. "Just don't let her die, she can play whatever she wants." Those cruel and heartless words, Diep Van That really couldn't believe came from the mouth of Ha Quan Thanh, the person who loved her to the core. Now, he sees her as the lowest of all pets. Ninh Mong smiled sweetly, but couldn't help but ask him: "So when you see me and Diep Van That, who is more beautiful?" "She is more beautiful." "If I and she are in danger, who will your majesty save first?" "Save her." "Do you love me now or love her?" "Love you." Each of his answers was so quick and steadfast. Ha Quan Thanh affectionately caressed Ninh Mong's face, couldn't help but lean down and kiss her. Then, he picked up Ninh Mong and went inside. Very quickly, Ninh Mong's soft, dark breathing sounded inside. In the corner, Diep Van That seemed to fall into an ice cellar, tears continuously falling. She never knew that Ha Quan Thanh once loved her so strongly, but it turned out that one day he would also love someone else like that. It turns out Ninh Mong was right. Now, the most important person in his heart is no longer her. Diep Van That suddenly remembered the time when Ninh Mong was just offered to him. At that time, Ha Quan Thanh often came to the secret room to visit her. He always didn't say a word, just patiently hugged her and slept with her. There was a time when Ninh Mong was alone in the palace, without a name or place, so he was very scared, often sending maids to invite him. He was always fierce and cruel, telling them to go away. But since when did his attitude towards Ninh Mong become more and more lenient, allowing her to truly replace her little by little? Three years is truly enough to change so many things. When Diep Van That woke up again, she discovered that she had returned to the secret room. In front of her, there was Ha Quan Thanh full of anger and Ninh Mong waiting to see the good show. Ha Quan Thanh's eyes were filled with anger. Seeing her wake up, he suddenly reached out and strangled her: "Diep Van That, it's been three years and you still want to hide!" Diep Van That could hardly breathe. Looking at Ninh Mong's proud look, she realized that she had changed white to black, distorting the story of forcing her out into a situation where she ran away on her own. Diep Van That wanted to break free from his hand, but Ha Quan Thanh was so angry that she could only moan in pain. At this moment, A Ly suddenly rushed out from under the bed. Foxes are the most sensitive animals, able to smell dangerous breath. Seeing that Diep Van That was injured, it tore off Ha Quan Thanh's pants leg and roared ferociously. "Ah! Why is there a fox here?" Ninh Mong was so scared that she jumped up. The little fox seemed to know that she was not a good person, so he immediately jumped up and rushed towards Ninh Mong. "Ah!" Ha Quan Thanh immediately pushed Diep Van That away, kicked away the weak A Ly, and ordered the guards to catch her. Then, angry black eyes stared at Diep Van That: "Where did this fox come from?" He did not allow any person or thing to be with Diep Van That, so she did not dare to let him know of A Ly's existence. A Ly is also very smart, whenever she hears footsteps she will hide under the bed. But this time, to protect Diep Van That, it still ran out. Poor Ninh Mong leaned against Ha Quan Thanh's arms, her slender arms were still bleeding, obviously just scratched by this fox. "Your Majesty, I hate this fox. Send someone to kill it!" Upon hearing that sentence, Diep Van That's already silent eyes immediately shook violently. "No way!" For three years of being imprisoned in the dark without seeing the sun, there was only one thing. A Ly keeps her company every day. In her heart, A

Ly was already no different from a relative. Diep Van That struggled to beg him: "Ha Quan Thanh, I beg you, please spare A Ly." This was the first time Ha Quan Thanh saw her express such strong emotions, but only because of a fox. The anger in his heart flared up even more. He bent down and grabbed her chin: "Forgive him? Okay. This beast scratched Mong Nhi, either beat him to death, or you can kowtow and apologize to Mong Nhi on his behalf." Diep Van That's whole body trembled. She never thought that one day Ha Quan Thanh would humiliate her like that. But she didn't have time to think too much. For three years now, she has been locked here like a dog. As long as you can protect what you care about, what is self-esteem worth? She staggered to her feet, then fell to the ground with a "bang". She abandoned all dignity and, under Ninh Mong's sarcastic eyes, bowed her head over and over again. Boom! Boom! Boom! Her forehead hit the floor of the secret room, making a loud sound. Ha Quan Thanh coldly stood and watched. The person who once held her in the palm of his hand, the person who said he would love her forever, the person who was unbearably heartbroken when she only suffered a small wound, when did he completely disappear? Diep Van That's forehead was covered in blood, but she still didn't stop. She bowed her head ninety-nine times.
