Chapter 6 — Being Betrayed by the General, I Became the Protector of the Nation's Wealth, Making Him Kneel and Pray

She thought about it and still didn't understand, until she heard a name from the mouth of an old friend who secretly visited her.

“Dich Mr. Sinh.”

"Nguyet Linh, you don't know, now the whole capital is going crazy! It is said that this time the Luc family was able to turn danger into safety thanks to the guidance of a noble man named 'Mr. Dich'!"

"I heard that Mr. Dich Sinh had magical math skills, turned stone into gold, and is now the most famous and sought-after figure in the capital!"

Hearing that name, Khuong Nguyet Linh's heart suddenly tightened. 【Mister Dich Sinh... It's Mr. Dich Sinh again...】 She had an extremely strong intuition that this matter was absolutely inseparable from that mysterious Mr. Dich Sinh. And the change in Luc Thoi Nghien's attitude towards her is definitely related to this person!

"What kind of person is that Mr. Dich Sinh? Male or female? What does he look like?"

She held her friend's hand tightly, earnestly questioning him.

“Who knows, it's so mysterious!”

The friend lowered his voice.

"But... I heard that in a few days the palace will be holding an Autumn Nhat Banquet, and His Majesty also specially issued an invitation to Mr. Dich Sinh to come to the palace to attend the banquet! At that time, maybe I will be able to see the real face with my own eyes!"

Thu Nhat Yen! Khuong Nguyet Linh's eyes immediately lit up. She knew this was her only chance. She must go! She must personally ask clearly what Mr. Dich Sinh actually said and did to Luc Thoi Nghien! She knelt down and cried, begging her father to take her to the palace. Old Master Khuong was given a headache by her, but was afraid that she would cause a bigger problem, so he intended to refuse. But Khuong Nguyet Linh swore an oath, saying that he just wanted to open his eyes and absolutely not cause trouble. At that time, old master Khuong reluctantly agreed. On the other side, Tinh Tam Cu also received an invitation sent by the royal palace. The invitation card is made of gold-plated card paper according to the highest standards, with the words:

"Phung Thien inherited the Emperor's blessing and decreed: Specially invite Mr. Dich Sinh to the palace to attend the banquet."

Below is His Majesty's personal jade sister. Xuan Hoa held the invitation card and was so excited that her whole face turned red.

"Miss! This is an invitation sent by His Majesty himself! This time you will be able to show off in front of the entire capital!"

I received the card, my expression still calm. This day has been in our plans for a long time. Hearing Tuyet Lau developed so quickly that it attracted the attention of the royal family. Instead of being passive and letting people doubt and investigate, it's better to proactively step forward and let that lofty monarch see my value with his own eyes. What we want is not just peace in a corner. It's the entire trade route of Great Zhou, even the economic lifeblood of this country.

“Go prepare a royal costume for me.”

I calmly instructed.

“According to the standards of the First Grade.”

Xuan Hoa was stunned.

“Miss, is this... not too polite?”

I looked out the window, the sky was high with light clouds.

“Because, he will give it.”

On that Autumn Day, I will be the focus of everyone's attention. Those who once laughed at us will understand what it means to be able to only watch but not be able to reach. Royal Palace, Death Palace. Thu Nhat Yen, the courtier were all present, the family was also fully gathered. The melodious sound of the flute and peaceful singing and dancing. Luc Thoi Nghien, as the Commander of the Forbidden Army, wearing armor, stood solemnly in front of the palace, but his eyes occasionally turned toward the palace gate. He's waiting. Waiting for "Mr. Dich Sinh" to reveal the mysterious curtain. Khuong Nguyet Linh also came. She followed behind her father, crouched in a corner, eyes like a hunting eagle, staring intently at the entrance. Today, she must see with her own eyes what kind of character this "Mr. Dich Sinh" who ruined everything for her is! The banquet was more than halfway done. The emperor raised his cup of wine and raised his voice loudly:

“Today, I want to introduce to you a strange person.”

The palace immediately became quiet. Everyone looked curiously toward the outside of the palace. The eunuch's high-pitched voice rang out—

“Tuyen—— Mr. Dich, see you!”

Amid the attentive gaze of everyone, a figure slowly walked in from outside the palace.
