Chapter 7 — Three Years in Secret

He quickly understood something: "Your Majesty... did you and That That quarrel?" Diep Van That thought, it wasn't just an argument. Perhaps Ha Quan Thanh didn't know how to answer, so he didn't speak for a moment. Luc Minh looked at his expression, only thinking that he had tacitly admitted it, but still couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, I understand that these words are somewhat disrespectful, but That That is truly a good girl that is hard to meet in a hundred years. You... absolutely do not betray her." Ha Quan Thanh's heart was filled with frustration. He thinks that no matter how well Diep Van That treats him, it's just because he wants to conquer him, it's all fake. He didn't want to listen anymore, so he lifted his feet and was about to leave. But I heard Luc Minh say: "That year, Your Majesty was assassinated and poisoned on the spot. The royal physician said you couldn't be saved anymore. That That refused to believe it, so he painfully watched you all night. As a result, the next morning Your Majesty actually woke up. That That is Your Majesty's blessing." Ha Quan Thanh's heart was shocked. As if hearing this for the first time, he looked intently at Luc Minh: "What do you say? That time I was assassinated... was it serious?" Luc Minh looked at him in surprise: "Your Majesty doesn't know? Not only the royal doctor, all the divine doctors in the Nine Provinces have been found but still can't cure you, everyone says we have to... prepare the afterlife in the palace." Of course Ha Quan Thanh doesn't know! Because the second day after being assassinated, he woke up! Moreover, the whole body is completely healed, without any pain. If at that time it was really serious enough to prepare for the consequences, how could he recover so quickly? Suddenly his eyes stopped, thinking of something. Diep Van That... She is not an ordinary person, but someone on a mission to conquer. Could it be that she thought of a way to save him? It seemed that ever since that poisoning, she was often absent-minded, as if counting the days. Finally, Ha Quan Thanh realized something was wrong. Late at night. Rarely did he have trouble sleeping, dreaming about the night three years ago. He discovered Diep Van That's conquest diary, got angry and went to find her. "Diep Van That!" But as soon as he pushed the door open, all he saw was blood. Diep Van That lies in a pool of blood. Ha Quan Thanh seemed to be struck by lightning, threw down the diary in his hand and then frantically rushed towards her. But when he hugged Diep Van That, he discovered that she was no longer breathing. "That That!!!" Ha Quan Thanh was sweating profusely and woke up from his dream, suddenly sitting up. That movement woke up Ninh Mong next to him. Ninh Mong lit the candle, saw his forehead covered in sweat and panicked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Ha Quan Thanh's heart beat wildly, but it took a long time to calm down. He rubbed his eyebrows and said hoarsely: "Nothing, go to sleep." The two of them lay down again. But when Ninh Mong fell asleep, Ha Quan Thanh was still extremely awake. One sleepless night, his eyes were bloodshot, he opened his eyes and waited for dawn. The next morning, Ha Quan Thanh called the guard into the study again. He was silent for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak up. "Have you... said anything recently?" A guilty look flashed in the guard's eyes and he replied: "No." In fact, he had absolutely no idea whether Diep Van That had said anything recently or not. After being warned by Ninh Mong, he did not dare to enter the secret room anymore, only delivering food through the small door every day. Not sure if it was Diep Van That's illusion or not, after hearing the guard's answer, Ha Quan Thanh's eyes seemed to darken. Did he feel like she still had something to say to him? A moment later, he lost patience and waved his hand for the guard to leave. As soon as the guard left the study room, Ninh Mong immediately called him away. Knowing that Ha Quan Thanh was asking about Diep Van That's situation, she felt a little uneasy. She tried

After trying for so many years, we absolutely cannot give Diep Van That a chance to turn around! To avoid a long night full of dreams, that night Ninh Mong lay in his arms, suddenly red eyes, self-pitying and said: "Your Majesty, although you treat me very well, there are no other women in the harem besides me, but I have been in the palace for a long time and still have no status. The gossip inside and outside the palace, each person's saliva is about to drown me." Ha Quan Thanh pondered for a moment: "You want to get married?" Ninh Mong hugged him tightly and nodded strongly: "Your Majesty, I love you so much, I want to be with you all my life, but I'm very afraid that we will separate in the future." After saying that, she even cried: "Your Majesty, I really can't leave you. Let's be together forever, okay?" The words forever, never leave, made Ha Quan Thanh suddenly lost his mind. He raised his hand to caress this face, his eyes so deep that it made people fall in love: "You will never leave me, right?" Ninh Mong nodded emotionally. Ha Quan Thanh bent down and kissed her strongly as if he wanted to melt into her: "Okay." Pausing for a moment, as if remembering something, he added: "But you can only marry, you can't... establish a queen." How can a concubine be as strong as a queen? What's more, there's only her in the harem, and your Majesty has favored her for three years, so the position of queen naturally belongs to her.
