Chapter 6 — Beauty B/Illness? With one kick I will kick away the Lord of War

After saying that, he immediately fainted. I dragged him back to the Hau palace, then immediately invited the best doctor in the palace to examine him. The doctor said he was seriously injured, both internal and external injuries were extremely serious. Whether he could survive or not depended only on his own creation. I kept watch at his bedside for 3 days and 3 nights, not even taking a single step away. I personally fed him medicine, cleaned his body, changed his medicine. Looking at his pale face, my heart hurt like it was pierced by countless needles. Ve Chieu, you idiot, why are you so stupid? Obviously he could have escaped on his own. On the morning of the 4th day, he finally woke up. He slowly opened his eyes, and as soon as he saw me, the first thing he asked was: "Are you okay?" My tears finally couldn't be held back any longer and fell silently.

“I'm okay.” I held his hand tightly, crying until I couldn't make a sound. “You scared me to death.”

He gently raised his hand, wanting to wipe my tears, but he didn't have much strength left.

“Don't cry.” He said softly. “Aren't I... back already?”

I looked at him, crying and laughing at the same time. In the days that followed, I devoted all my attention to taking care of him. The relationship between the two of us also changed in nature because we went through this tribulation together. He will act coyly with me, forcing me to give him medicine myself. And I will also take off all my disguise in front of him, like a normal girl, arguing with him and being spoiled with him. None of us mentioned what happened that night, nor did we mention the mysterious Lord or the ambitious Crown Prince. The only thing we want is to cherish the hard-to-find peaceful time ahead. That day, I was peeling apples for him when he suddenly opened his mouth: "Hoa Dien, after my injury is completely healed, we..." Before he could finish his words, suddenly there was a series of rapid footsteps outside. It's my brother, Hoa Van Canh. He rushed straight in, his face pale.

"Sister! This is not good!" He said. “Father... father has been arrested in Dai Ly Temple!”

The apple in my hand fell to the ground, making a "pop" sound. My father has been an official for decades, and has always been honest and straightforward. How could he have been arrested?

“It's because of the Crown Prince.” My brother said. "The crown prince played the harp to his father, saying that his father... colluded with the enemy and betrayed the court."

"What?" I almost couldn't believe my ears. “How could this happen!”

“It's slander and harm!” My brother gritted his teeth and said. "The Crown Prince falsified evidence, the main purpose is... to take revenge on our whole family."

It is said to be revenge on our whole family, but in reality it is revenge on me, also revenge on Ve Chieu. I turned my head to look at Ve Chieu, only to see him trying to sit up from the bed.

“Don't be hasty.” He took my hand and gave me a look that made my heart feel at peace. “Let me think of a way.”

“But your wound…”

“I'm okay.” He gently shook his head. "It's just this little wound, it's not fatal yet."

He put on his clothes and despite my efforts to stop him, he still resolutely entered the palace. I couldn't sit still in the palace, just waiting for news. I know very well, This matter is absolutely not a small matter. Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the court. That is a serious enough crime to banish the nine clans. If even Ve Chieu can't save my father, then our entire Hoa family... will truly be done. I waited for a whole day. It was not until it was dark that Ve Chieu returned. He looked extremely tired. But his eyes were unusually bright.

“How's it going?” I immediately walked over to ask.

“His Majesty has agreed.” He looked at me and said. “Three days later, the Third Company jury will be held.”

The three jurors, the Criminal Department, Dai Ly Tu and Do Sat Vien, jointly examined the case. The Crown Prince will no longer be able to cover the sky with one hand. I breathed a sigh of relief. But my heart still cannot be at peace.

“But... what about evidence?” I look at him. "If the Crown Prince dared to falsely frame him, then it proves that the evidence in his hands is certainly very difficult to refute."

“So…” Ve Chieu looked straight at me. "We must find new evidence to prove her father's innocence."

“Where to look?”

“Thien Co Cac.”
