Chapter 6 — Bamboo Burning Brooch

"Do you know, Your Highness, that today Ninh Vuong and my daughter's eldest sister went to Dong Son, ostensibly to secretly meet in private, but in fact they went to the secret room in the Quan Am Temple to meet someone?" "Who?" "Minister of the Ministry of the Army Tong Hoai Vien." The cup of tea in the hand of the eldest princess was placed heavily on the table. Tong Hoai Vien is the future father-in-law of Princess Vinh An - who is engaged to Tong Hoai Vien's eldest son. "How do you know these things?" "My eldest sister has secretly met Ninh Vuong many times. One time she met the Minister of Military Affairs. The eldest sister said it unintentionally, but the goddess paid attention, so she secretly inquired a bit." "Your Highness also knows, Ninh Vuong has always been famous for his style. Now I'm interacting with the Minister of Military Affairs, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." "I originally wanted to remind Your Highness, but because of my low status, wanting to meet Your Highness is even more difficult than going to heaven. In an urgent situation, I had to use the last resort to offend the Princess. I respectfully ask for forgiveness from Her Royal Highness." I knelt down again and slammed my head on the yellow tile floor. The palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The princess slowly stood up, walked towards me, suddenly raised her hand to lift my chin, forcing me to look straight into her eyes. In those phoenix eyes, the coldness had disappeared, replaced by a sharp look as if observing prey. "Little lady, do you know that the words you just said, just spreading half a word out would be enough to destroy the entire Lam family?" I looked straight into her eyes, slowly replied: "I know. That's why I only told Your Highness." The eldest princess looked at me for a long time, then suddenly let go, took two steps back and jumped. laugh. In that smile, there was some interest, some surprise, and even a little bit of appreciation. "What a brave girl." The person turned back and sat down in the chair, his voice was much more gentle. "The marriage of Vinh An and Tong Lich Thanh was originally personally arranged by the Royal Brother, precisely to avoid the Minister of Military Affairs secretly interacting with the princes. Unexpectedly, that old fox Tong Hoai Vien would dare to collude with Ninh Vuong. He wanted to create this. treason?" "Treason is not certain, but the plot to usurp the Crown Prince's throne is real." The Crown Prince's maternal power is not strong, his only support is his uncle who is leading the army on the border. Meanwhile, the power of Ninh Vuong's mother and wife's family are both famous and noble, the only thing lacking is military power. In her previous life, because she was afraid that the stabbing incident would be discovered, the elder sister also prayed to Ninh Vuong, wanting to go to the palace to become a Trac concubine for protection. But at that time, Ninh Vuong needed help from Vuong Phi's mother's family, so how could he dare to agree? That's why the eldest sister took a step back and hastily married the Marquis of Vinh Ninh Palace. It's just a pity that Ninh Vuong's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. He did not expect that after secretly meeting him and returning, the elder sister would stab and injure the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince searched for the assassin, searched for a while and found Ninh Vuong's trail, causing him to completely lose power. The entire family of Minister Song was also implicated. Even Princess Vinh An who married into the Song family had to suffer injustice, and even if the Princess wanted to propose love, she had no chance. In this life, I have already reported the story of Ninh Vuong and Thuong Thuong to Princess Truong. That is enough to give you time to protect Princess Vinh An. After all, I can also be considered the life-saving benefactor of Princess Vinh An. Princess Truong and I have never had sex before. At this time, listening to me, people only believe half of it. To prevent me from fabricating stories to escape the crime, they immediately sent someone to detain me, waiting for the truth to be investigated before releasing me. Exactly what I meant. The Crown Prince of the East Palace is the royal family of Dai Zhou. Stabbed by someone

Seriously injured, whether alive or dead, the elder sister and Ninh Vuong will eventually be tracked down. But the elder sister is good at denying. With Princess Truong testifying for me, she can no longer blame it all on me. The head princess worked extremely decisively. On the night he received my news, he ordered the soldiers to disguise themselves as secret agents, secretly monitoring Ninh Vuong and Thuong Thuong. Overnight. Ninh Vuong's side still has no news. On the contrary, the East Palace has had changes before. … Crown Prince Ly Tuyen disguised himself and left the palace, but did not return until the palace gate closed. The East Palace guards were so scared that they ransacked all the places the Crown Prince often frequented, and finally found him on the slopes of Dong Son, barely breathing. The doctors tried their best to treat him all night long before they were able to retain a glimmer of vitality. But he lost too much blood and his vital organs were damaged. In mild cases, the mind becomes unconscious and does not wake up for many days. If it's severe, all five internal organs will be injured. Even if you keep your life, it will be difficult for you to lead the army or handle court affairs in the future. When the Emperor learned about it, he became angry. All palace staff and guards serving the Crown Prince were severely punished. He also ordered the French company to investigate, assigned the Ministry of Criminal Investigation to be in charge of the investigation, the Royal Palace to patrol the royal citadel for the first instance, and at the same time dispatched the entire Left Ngu Marquis of the East Palace and the Vu Lam Guard to search for clues. After hearing the news, the Princess immediately entered the palace. When I returned, someone immediately called me over. "Tell me, how much do you know about the Crown Prince meeting the assassins? Was it arranged by Ninh Vuong behind the scenes?" I pretended to be bewildered and shook my head. "I only investigated that Ninh Vuong colluded with Thuong Thuong, but did not know that they dared to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Reliving another life, I am not a fool. If I knew and did not report, causing the Crown Prince to be seriously injured or even lose his life, wouldn't I also be guilty? Besides, I'm just a noble woman. Being able to investigate Ninh Vuong's interactions with Thuong Thuong was not easy. Not knowing their plot behind it is not surprising. Sure enough, the Princess didn't ask any more.
