But the contempt in his eyes still couldn't be hidden. She served Ly Triet for many years. Nominally the Crown Prince's person. But she has long accepted Tieu Tinh Nhu as her true master, just waiting for the day she enters the Eastern Palace. After severely punishing that maid, my eyes unconsciously stopped on the word "Forbearance" hanging in the middle of the Buddha hall. After a long while, I sighed softly. Two years ago. My father, being the Prime Minister, soon recognized the signs that the Emperor wanted to move To Mon. When the situation had not yet been resolved, I proactively entered the study room, knelt before my father, and asked to marry the Crown Prince. Since the day we entered the Eastern Palace. The Su family and the royal family were immediately bound together. After much consideration, the Emperor finally had to temporarily shelve the idea of eliminating the To family. The day I got married, the To family almost used half of the family's assets as a dowry. My father held my hand tightly, his eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance:

"A Le, you are the little girl that father loves the most. If you suffer any resentment at the Eastern Palace, you must tell father. As long as father is still here, he will definitely find a way to take care of you."

At that time, I had absolutely no idea that Crown Prince Ly Triet had someone else in his heart for a long time. Because of that person, he kept his body like jade, from beginning to end he never touched me. However, the story of me and Ly Triet sharing a room last night spread to the palace. The Queen Mother was both heartbroken and angry. Because the marriage that year was given by her personally. The Queen Mother immediately went to the Eastern Palace to question her. Outside the temple, Ly Triet held my hand, his fingers clasped tightly, looking like a husband and wife in deep love. However, his voice was extremely cold:

"I'll deal with it later, you don't need to open your mouth."

In electricity. Due to illness, the Queen Mother was unable to leave her bed for many days. Carrying unresolved anger, she coldly scolded:

"The Ai family is truly guilty. The two of you just got married yesterday. If you were dissatisfied with this marriage, why didn't you protest that year?"

Ly Triet spoke first:

"Grandmother is less angry. Ton Nhi and A Le have a very good relationship."

The words just ended. The Queen Mother was angry and threw the porcelain cup in her hand straight at him. The cup hit Ly Triet's back hard, but he just endured it silently, without making a sound. The Queen Mother's chest rose and fell continuously.

"Don't think anyone doesn't know. In your heart, you still miss that Tieu girl."

"That year, whoever gave you To Le's hand in marriage was hoping that she and you would live a peaceful life together."

“Who would have thought that such a good lady would be treated like this by you…”

My heart trembled slightly. Rays of bitterness quietly spread at the bottom of my heart. From the day she married into the Eastern Palace until now. It's been a long time since anyone stood up and said a fair word to me. At that moment, the Queen Mother suddenly looked straight at me. Sharp eyes as if wanting to see through all the hidden secrets in people's hearts.

“A Le, tell someone.”

“Does this bastard often bully you?”

“If you have to suffer resentment, someone will definitely take care of you.”

“Or did the Crown Prince force me to cooperate in acting?”

In that moment. All eyes simultaneously focused on him. Inside, Ly Triet's eyes were as cold as ice and snow, like a warning bar. I gently collect all the emotions at the bottom of my eyes. Then calmly replied:

“The Crown Prince is very kind to his concubine.”

Ly Triet immediately complied:

"Grandmother, in the past two years, the world has changed a lot, and the emperor has repeatedly sent his grandson to treat his ears. There really is no more energy to worry about other things."

I knelt neatly under the palace, quietly listening to him calmly weave lies without any flaw. In fact, every time Ly Triet left the business to treat his ears, it was just to avoid scandal with me, and also to let Tieu Tinh Nhu clearly understand that from beginning to end he had never touched his heart, much less touched me. The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes, her voice heavy:

"A Triet, before A Le got married, there were so many people who came to marry the Prime Minister that they almost trampled the threshold. She is a good girl, not inferior to anyone."

"You are the eldest son who was raised by someone himself."

"Before you close your eyes and give up, what I want most is for your backyard to be safe. If there are outsiders who don't know how to move forward and stubbornly try to get in, then I have to act like a hard-hearted person and handle it all for you."
