Chapter 3 — Tiet Uyen

"Tieu Tu, you want me to be your Trac concubine, while you're married to someone else. What do you think of me? On what basis do you rely? On what basis do you insult me like that?!"Tell me to be your concubine. Tell me to steal someone else's husband. I don't understand. I'm hot-tempered, I'm stubborn, I don't know how to embroider. But I have never done anything bad, nor have I ever wronged him. What does he rely on?! However, he grabbed my hand and softly said: "Do Tuyet will ruin her reputation because of you. If I don't marry her, she will definitely be sent to the temple to be friends with the green light early in the morning, living the rest of her lonely life." "And you will also have a bad reputation because of that, making it difficult to become a royal concubine." "So, A Uyen, everything I do... is for you." Tieu Tu and Tu Do Tuyet had already discussed it well. When Tu Do Tuyet married into the Eastern Palace, she was only the Crown Princess in name. Apart from that title, there would be nothing else. As for me, even if I become Crown Prince Trac Phi, it's just a name. The person he truly recognized was his wife, from beginning to end there was only me. Most importantly... "A Uyen, the emperor's father was already wary of the Tiet family. Therefore, he absolutely would not feel secure about letting her marry someone outside the royal family. Moreover, if she dared to openly resist the decree of divorce, then the Tiet family... her parents..." He did not finish his sentence. But it was like the first time I recognized the person in front of me. His whole body suddenly felt weak and he staggered back a few steps. In the end...I still became Crown Prince Trac Phi of Tieu Tu. He was overjoyed. Trac concubine is a concubine, red is not allowed in the wedding. But my marriage was still held extremely solemnly. Maybe you know you're at fault with me. So after I married into the Eastern Palace, even though my personality completely changed and became more and more arrogant, Tieu Tu still tolerated me. Only Tu Do Tuyet is still the same as before, gentle on the outside, hidden in her heart. She always imitated the old days, in front of me she was sarcastic and sarcastic, behind my back she incited separation. She thought I would be like before, trying my best to explain and justify. But no. I just laughed coldly. Or slap her, or scold her straight in the face. Anyway, if you tear the mask, let's tear it clean. I can't have peace, and you can't have peace either. In the end, she could only cover her face, her hair falling down, running in front of Tieu Tu crying, sobbing weakly: "It's all my fault. I made sister A Uyen angry, I really deserve to be punished." But she is the Crown Princess. Who in the world has the morality to let a Crown Princess be crushed and kicked by Trac Concubine, scolding her if she wants to scold her? So I just stubbornly looked at Tieu Tu, determined not to bow my head. At worst, it will be like last time, he falsely accused me of everything being my fault. But this time... Tieu Tu didn't do that. He glanced at Tu Do Tuyet who was sobbing, sighed softly, then walked over and hugged me. "A Uyen, I believe you." That moment... For a moment, I thought that perhaps Tieu Tu still loved me. Maybe...he really wasn't lying. Because later, under the support of the Tiet family and Tu family, he ascended the throne and became emperor. I was awarded the title of Royal Noble Concubine, whose grace is unmatched by anyone. He used to take the position of a heavenly prince and personally remove the brooch for me. Even Tu Do Tuyet, who was already the Queen at that time, had to take the initiative to offer me tea. The grace of the six palaces falls on me alone. Everyone in the harem is jealous. In the previous dynasty, hundreds of mandarins hated me and scolded me for being a demon and a disaster for the country. That arrogance, no one in the world can compare to. If... in the future my whole family is not exiled by Tieu Tu himself. If my title is not taken away by him. If I were not banished to the cold palace to live out the rest of my life, everyone in the world would be happy. Well...maybe I believed it. Everyone says that the Tiet family has great influence, but His Majesty just pretended to be fascinated.

Temporarily let the Queen I love suffer the frustration and just push the boat along. The truth is also true. In the following days in the cold palace, Tieu Tu often tortured me. Even though I was struggling and tears were flowing, he still said with hatred: "Is it really painful? You oppressed Du Tuyet for so many years, this is the debt you have to pay. Tiet Uyen, you better beg me. If that's the case, I can at least spare you one life, so you can use the rest of your life to atone for your sins." So that's it. It turns out... Tu Do Tuyet endured time after time, smiled wryly, backed away... He had softened his heart a long time ago. It's just that...for Tu Do Tuyet, he can still do that. Then why, during those years, every time I cried, got angry and lost control... He never asked a single question: "Are you suffering from any resentment?" It turned out that all the years he pampered me and loved me... were all just pretending. Just to avoid the Tiet family. Just because he wanted the Tiet family to let down their guard. Then a net will catch it and pull out the weeds at the root. Now he still wants me to stay in this cold palace and suffer all kinds of humiliation. Bow your head to beg him. Lay continued to live... "But I don't want to." "What?" Tieu Tu paused. In intense pain, I knocked over the candle. Before his surprised eyes, I hugged him tightly and rushed into the sea of fire, crying and laughing at the same time. "Tieu Tu... but I don't want to." Life like that... I don't need Tieu Uyen. The fire caught the bed curtain, and in the blink of an eye, it flared up fiercely. Tieu Tu should have been angry. After all, he hates me so much, and I want to drag him to death. But…he didn't. As the fire gradually burned down on his clothes. The hatred in his eyes turned into stupidity. He looked at me with disbelief. It seems unbelievable... I can't believe that I really want him dead. But he didn't have time to think anymore. The beams on top of the house were shaking and about to fall.
