Chapter 11 — Arrested on the night of the big wedding, I was reborn and killed him like crazy

Soon, the butler surnamed Vuong rushed in.

“Eldest Miss, it's not over!”

"Forbidden Army Commander Luc Chieu, leading a team of forbidden soldiers, has... surrounded our palace!"

I put down the tea cup and stood up.

"That's not it, I came to pay my respects."

“Let's go, we'll come out to welcome you.”

I took Xuan Dao with me and walked to the main hall without haste. Parents were present there. He was wearing a brand new official uniform, with a smile both flattering and frightened on his face, bowing his head towards Luc Chieu.

"I didn't know Commander Luc was coming, I didn't have time to welcome him, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Luc Chieu wore battle armor, his body straight in the middle of the hall. Behind him, two soldiers holding long halberds stood waiting. That cold murderous aura made all the servants in the Thai Vice Palace silent, not daring to breathe loudly. He didn't pay attention to his father's favor, just used his sharp, eagle-like eyes to sweep around. Finally, Luc Chieu's eyes stopped on me.

“Miss Tham, are you ready?”

I gently knelt down to worship.

“We've kept Commander Luc waiting for a long time.”

The conversation between me and him left my father completely stunned. He looked at me, then looked at Luc Chieu, the smile on his face stiffened.

“Commander Luc, what does this… mean?”

Luc Chieu then turned his eyes to him. Those eyes were cold, without a trace of emotion.

“Deputy Shen Thai.”

"This general is here today, following the orders of the old lady of Dinh Quoc Cong palace."

“Personally come to pick up Miss Tham Tri Dien and return to the ancestral palace.”

Father seemed to be struck by lightning, his face immediately turned pale.

“Welcome… welcome Tri Dien back?”

“How is this possible!”

"She is my daughter, the eldest daughter of the Royal Palace, how can you say go and go!"

He finally reacted, hastily wanting to stop. Luc Chieu let out a cold snort. That sound carried the pressure of the battlefield, sending chills down people's spines.

"Miss Shen is also the only granddaughter of the Dinh Quoc Cong palace."

"The old lady missed her grandmother and wanted to take her back to the palace to stay for a few days. That's a reasonable thing."

“Mrs. Thai Fu, do you want to disobey a lady's wishes?”

“Or… do you want to confront the entire Dinh Quoc Cong palace?”

Although the Dinh Quoc Cong palace has declined. But that "Dinh Quoc" sign was personally given by the founding emperor. Represents glorious merit. How could a civil servant like his father dare to confront him? He was stopped by these words, unable to say a word, his face turned red. He turned to look at me, his eyes filled with anger and pleading.

“Tri Dien, I… I can't go!”

"Since you're gone, what should Thuy Vuong's side do? What should we do with the Tham family?"

Up to this point, he still wants to use me as an exchange pawn. How sad. I looked at him and slowly shook my head.

“Father.”

“Girl… you should go home.”

My voice was very light, but it was like a hammer blow. Destroyed his last hope. You know, I've made up my mind. He also knew that he had completely lost this daughter. I didn't look at him anymore, turned to Luc Chieu and said:

“Commander Luc, we can go.”

Luc Chieu nodded slightly. He personally went ahead and opened the way for us. Two soldiers followed as escort. I am, just like that, under the protection of the team The most elite army in the capital. Step by step, step by step, leave the place that has imprisoned me for sixteen years - that magnificent lipstick cage. When I stepped out of the gate of the Thai Vice Palace. The sunlight outside just shined on my face. Warm, gentle. I turned my head and looked at the gilded "Deputy Palace" sign. I saw my father running out in a daze, standing inside the gate, looking at me with extremely complicated eyes. In those eyes, there was anger, unwillingness, and regret. There was also a flash of... fear that he himself had never realized. I looked at him, smiling brightly, coming from the bottom of my heart. Then, without looking back, I boarded the carriage that Luc Chieu had prepared for me. The carriage rolled slowly. I know, from this moment. My life, Tham Tri Dien, has turned to a completely new page. And those who have hurt me. Their nightmare... It's just begun. I leaned against the car window, still planning my next steps in my head. But the carriage suddenly stopped. I lifted the curtain and saw Luc Chieu riding a horse and standing next to the carriage. He gave me an envelope.

“Someone from Thuy Vuong's palace brought it here.”

His face was somewhat gloomy.

“That said… congratulations, Miss Tham, on moving to your new home.”

I received the envelope and immediately felt a sense of vigilance in my heart. Open the envelope. Inside there was only one black chrysanthemum petal, withered. And a small piece of paper. On that piece of paper, was Tieu Giac's familiar, elegant yet powerful handwriting. Just two words.
