Chapter 2
Chapter 2 — After being slapped by the Crown Prince, I hugged the Queen's thighs for help, finally causing Giang Son to change hands
Everyone was stunned. They don't know where we want to go. Tieu Canh Diem also doesn't know. But I know. My goal is extremely clear — Kun Ninh palace. I want to find the remaining woman named Tham in this palace. My step-sister, the current Queen Tham Nhuoc Lan. Tieu Canh Diem can beat me, because I am his wife. But he could not beat the daughter of the Tham family. Especially today, right in front of everyone. What he hit was not me, Tham Vu Vi, but the reputation of the entire Tham family. I believe my intelligent cousin understands this principle better than anyone. I ran all the way to the front gate of Kun Ninh palace, the phoenix mandarin was already tilted to one side, his hair was a mess, the blood at the corner of his mouth mixed with the makeup, his whole body was struggling unbearably. The palace eunuchs guarding the door were stunned into a state of terror. They wanted to stop them but didn't dare to stop them.
“Get away!”
My voice was hoarse, with a choking sound.
"I want to meet the Queen! Sister! Sister Nhuo Lan!"
I shouted loudly and used force to pound on the tightly closed door of the Kun Ninh palace.
"Bieu sister! Save me! Tieu Canh Diem, he wants to force me to death!"
I cried until the sky shook, took all the pain and anger in my heart, and used the most direct way to scream at this moment. I know that in this palace there are eyes and ears everywhere. I just want everyone to see and hear. Seeing the Crown Princess getting married on the first day, she was forced to go crazy and ran to knock on the Queen's palace door. Heard how Tham Vu Vi was bullied by Crown Prince Tieu Canh Diem. The palace door made a "creaking" sound and slowly opened from the inside. The Queen's closest concubine, Thanh Hoa, stood at the door, her face extremely heavy.
“Princess, the lady is resting…”
“I don't care!”
I immediately pushed her away and rushed inside.
"Bieu sister! He bullied me! I can't live anymore!"
I rushed straight into the inner hall, Tham Nhuoc Lan was sitting on the small bed, holding a book in her hand, obviously still not sleeping. She wore her usual palace outfit and looked calmly at me. It seemed like I had already guessed that I would come. I didn't care anymore, I ran straight to hug her leg and burst into tears.
"Bieu sister! It's been less than an hour since I married into the Eastern Palace. Tieu Canh Diem has already beaten me because of that bastard Tieu Lien! He beat me right in front of the civil and military officials of the whole court! This life can't continue anymore! I want to go home!"
I took off the phoenix crown from my head and violently threw it onto the ground. The pearl and jade brooch immediately scattered everywhere.
"The Tham family's dignity has been ruined by you! Sister, just let me die!"
Tham Nhuoc Lan did not immediately help me up. She just looked at me quietly, letting me hug her legs and cry and scream. It wasn't until I cried until my voice was hoarse that she gently waved her hand and let all the palace servants go out. In the vast inner hall of Kun Ninh palace, there are only two of us left.
“Have you cried enough?”
Her voice was extremely cold, completely unable to hear anger. I raised my head, my face full of tears looking at her, choking and nodding.
“Wipe away your tears.”
She gave it Give me a handkerchief.
"The daughter of the Tham family can shed blood but must not shed tears."
I took the handkerchief and casually wiped my face. At this moment, she reached out and pulled me up from the ground, then forced me to sit down on the soft tower next to her.
“Tell me, what's going on?”
As soon as I opened my mouth, tears almost fell again.
“Pick up the main point and talk.”
Tham Nhuoc Lan directly interrupted my words.
"Don't talk about those girly love stories, just talk about the great relationship."
I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down. I know, talking about love with the Queen is the most useless thing. What she wanted to hear was how this would affect the Tham family and her.
"During the big wedding party, Tieu Lien intentionally spilled wine on my wedding dress. Tieu Canh Diem did not ask about right or wrong, black and white, and forced me to apologize to her."
“I'm not sorry.”
"So he immediately took action. Right in front of my father and the civil and military officials in the court."
I spoke very calmly, like I was telling someone else's story. But every word and every sentence carries a cold weight. Tham Nhuoc Lan's eyes finally sank. Her long fingers gently tapped on the table. The whole hall was so quiet that only that knocking sound remained, so oppressive that it almost made people unable to breathe.
"He is protecting Tieu Lien, he is protecting the Tieu family."
Tham Nhuoc Lan slowly opened her mouth.
