Chapter 9 — After three years of pretending to be mute and deaf to save my life, I married the talkative Crown Prince

The Emperor walked straight in front of him.

"How come I don't know... I still have this disability?"

The prince was silent for a moment.

"Then... from today it will be available."

The Emperor immediately raised his foot and kicked forward. The prince turned and ran away.

"Father! So many people are watching, please preserve the majesty of the royal family!"

"Today I will kill you first, then talk about majesty!"

The father and son chased around the main hall for three rounds. Tu Kinh Chi was still kneeling on the ground. His whole body was stunned as if turned to stone. Even I... I was so stunned that I didn't know how to react. The Queen slowly walked to my side, her expression still calm as usual.

"Their father and son... perform a performance like that once a month."

I asked in a low voice:

"Didn't Your Highness once say... you run very fast?"

As soon as he finished speaking... The Crown Prince was kicked right behind the waist by the emperor. His whole body rushed straight into the grass. The Queen was silent for a moment, then calmly said:

"It... has always lacked a bit of self-awareness."

The case of Thuy Vuong's treason has extremely wide implications. Nine great mandarins have resigned... No one escaped the crime. The complete ledger was also found. The last page was never brought into the palace, but was hidden by King Thuy inside a rosary. When he was arrested, he was still chanting. The Crown Prince snatched the rosary in his hand and broke one bead in half. A small roll of paper immediately fell down. Thuy Vuong's chanting also stopped. The Crown Prince squatted down in front of him and smiled faintly.

"Your Majesty."

"Buddha told you to... hand over the books."

Thuy Vuong was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. My father's injustice... Finally washed away. The Emperor issued a posthumous decree appointing her as a maid of the Household Ministry and bestowing the posthumous title Thanh Chinh. When the holy edict was brought to the old house of the To family... I knelt before the spirit of my father and mother and did not get up for a long time. The Crown Prince sat on the doorstep. He never urged me. Waiting until I stood up, he brushed the dust off his shirt.

"Let's return to the palace."

I look at him.

"Your Highness... don't you have anything to say?"

"Aren't people usually very good at talking?"

The Crown Prince turned his face away.

"Your throat isn't feeling well today."

I looked at his red eyes. But not exposed. After returning to the palace... His Majesty discussed the merits and rewards. From a female official in Thuong Thu Province, I was specially promoted to the position of Commander in Chief, in charge of all secret cases in the palace. As soon as the high-ranking officials in the court heard the news, they immediately protested. The reason is... Women should not come into contact with royal secrets. The Crown Prince held a stack of medals and stood in the middle of the court, scolding him from beginning to end.

"Women are not allowed to touch private secrets?"

"So why do you guys come home every day and tell your wife about court affairs?"

"Master Truong, last month you were beaten twenty times. The next day, your wife accidentally told that story right in the jewelry store."

"Lord Liu, the copy you presented to His Majesty has three misspelled words. Your daughter helped correct it."

"And you... Lord Vuong."

Lord Vuong trembled in surprise.

"Vi god... what?"

"There's nothing wrong with you."

Lord Vuong breathed a sigh of relief... The Crown Prince slowly added:

"You're alone pure... looking at you makes my eyes itchy."

After an adoration session... No one dared to speak out against it anymore. The first day I took office... Received gifts from eighteen great ministers. Not gold or silver. It's all laxative tea. Among them, a mandarin even wrote a separate letter, pleading:

"I hope Tu Tich orders you to take good care of your throat. If in the future, His Highness the Crown Prince will be willing to say a few less words, this official would like to offer another ten kilograms of tea every month."

I showed that letter to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince smiled coldly.

"Do they think you can control her?"

"Can't you manage it?"

"Of course not."

I turned around and left. The Crown Prince immediately called out:

"Go to Phuong Nghi palace."

"Why are you looking for a mother?"

"Please tell your father that..."

"Your Highness said that in this life no one can control you."

The Crown Prince immediately reached out to pull me back.

"To Ham Chuong."

"She's a bad student."

I turned my head to look at him.

"Close to ink, black."

It's that saying again. The prince gritted his teeth. In the end... Still can't refute. He pulled me back into the room and closed the door.

"You still have a debt..."

"Not counting on her."

"What's going on?"

"She lied to me for three months."

"Your Highness also lied to me."

"That girl is using a trick."

"I'm here to save my life."

"She even heard all my secrets."

"Your Highness also knows my secret."
