Chapter 6 — Your Majesty's Little Blessings

The escape plan has completely gone down the drain. My little treasure, right before he got sick, he sent someone to "invite" him away. To say it beautifully is to add it to the national treasury. I think I understand clearly, this guy did it on purpose. First cut off my path of fortune, then use suffering and humiliation to keep me. The heart is heavy, making people angry. 【Hmph, even if you are sick and die, I will not shed a single tear for you.】 I scolded him in my heart and squeezed a hot towel to wipe his face. Tieu Diem is in a coma, her eyebrows are furrowed, her sleep is very restless. His lips were dry and cracked, his face was as white as paper. No longer his usual domineering and cold look, right now he looked somewhat weak. I sighed. That's it, respecting his pitiful illness, don't compare with him for now. I didn't take off my shirt to rest, taking care of him for three days and three nights. On the morning of the fourth day, his fever finally subsided and he woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw me lying on the bed. He reached out and gently stroked my hair. I was awakened and sleepily raised my head.

“Are you awake?”

My voice is both dry and hoarse. He nodded, his dark eyes looking at me without blinking.

“These past few days have been hard for you.”

“It's good to know that I'm working hard.” I said angrily, "Quickly give me the money."

He laughed. This smile is like melting snow and ice, warm spring flowers blooming. When he's sick, he's a little less sharp and a little more gentle.

“Want money?” He raised his eyebrows, "Okay, marry me, the entire national treasury is yours."

I pouted. 【Are you playing this trick again, wanting to use money to bribe me?】 【Am Luc Au Au the type of person who sees money clearly?】 【…It seems that's right.】 I cleared my throat, said with a serious face full of dignity: "Who wants your national treasury! I tell you Tieu Diem, when I turn seventeen, I will leave the palace!" His expression darkened.

“I don't allow it.”

"On what basis do you not allow it? You are not my father!"

“I am your future husband.”

"I wouldn't marry a pervert like you who can eavesdrop on other people's thoughts!"

As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted it. I told the biggest secret between us. The air immediately froze. Tieu Diem's face lost all color. He looked at me incredulously, his lips trembling slightly.

“You… already know?”

I stiffened my neck and decided to take a risk.

"Yes! I know everything! Since I was one year old, I've had my doubts! Tieu Diem, what do you see me as? A talking pet? A tool that can help you warn of danger?"

The resentments and unwillingness that had accumulated in my heart over the years had all exploded at this moment.

"I tell you, I've had enough! I don't want to continue to stay in this cage, living a life of being monitored by others at any time!"

After shouting, I turned around and wanted to run. His wrist was grabbed again. His strength was so great, he squeezed me so much that it hurt.

“Au Au.”

His voice was hoarse.

"In my heart, you have never been a tool."

“So what is it?” I asked him with red eyes.

He looked at me and said word by word:

“It's the network.”

I was shocked by his sentence "it's my life". I looked at him blankly, momentarily forgetting to react. He held my hand and pulled me to sit next to the bed.

“Au Au, I know how unfair it is to you that I can hear your heart.”

“But I'm not in control can be controlled.”

He said, from the moment I fell into his arms, the sound of my heart entered his world. At first, he really only felt it was new, and felt that the little thing was me, very interesting. After that, I took turns helping him resolve the crisis, and he began to rely on me. And then, that dependence turns into a habit. He is used to my silent curses, used to my company, used to my existence. He watched me grow from a milk-fed baby into a graceful and graceful young woman. The feeling of watching my "queen" grow up is very magical. He wants to be good to me, wants to give me the best things in the world. But he is the emperor and is used to controlling everything. He doesn't know how to express his feelings, he can only use his own way, domineering but clumsy, covering me under his wings.

“I admit, I am selfish, I am stubborn.”

He looked into my eyes, eyes full of struggle and pain.

“I'm afraid, I'm afraid you'll leave me if you know the truth. So I don't dare say anything, I can only pretend I don't know anything."

"Until that day, I heard you say you wanted to leave and wanted to find another man."

His hands clenched tightly, a crazy light flashed in his eyes.

"I'm so jealous that I'm about to go crazy."

"I can't imagine what I would become if it weren't for you."

“So, I'm sick.”

He said, half of that illness was due to anger, and half was... suffering and humiliation. He wanted to use this method to see my reaction, to see if I finally paid attention to him or not. I heard what he said, my heart was in chaos. 【So… he doesn't see me as a tool?】 【He… likes me?】
