Chapter 6 — Breaking the Nine Rings

She knows how to hold exams, manage the family and communicate, and knows how to say every word at the right time. But she doesn't know how to remove the organ. She gently picked up the golden lock and plucked it several times, but the lock blade did not budge. Quy Canh Hanh looked at her. I saw a thin layer of sweat slowly forming on my sister's forehead. In her previous life, situations like this had never happened to her. I always take the initiative to receive it, and only need to open it a few times. Then she smiled again and said:

"My sister is like that, when faced with difficult things, she definitely wants to win."

In this life, I just sit there silently. Don't help her out. The smile on the Queen Mother's face faded. Sister A reluctantly said:

“The goddess is stupid, I'm afraid I can't open it.”

The Queen Mother did not make things difficult for her, just ordered someone to take it away. But the way Quy Canh Hanh looked at his sister changed a bit. In the carriage returning to the palace, sister was always silent. About to reach the palace gate, she suddenly said:

“Today you clearly know how to open it.”

I looked at her. Her eyes turned red.

"You intentionally made me lose face."

I said softly:

“Sister, it turns out not being able to open a lock can be just as awkward.”

Her face immediately turned pale. I won't say more. There are some dilemmas, she should also experience them. 6 After the water wheel incident, the kings quickly presented a new situation. This time it's a flood in the southern district. In the past life, the kings took advantage of the loss of relief money, forcing Quy Canh Hanh to bear the responsibility. We spread out dispatches from the translation station on the East Palace floor, based on the water levels of the continents, the boat's itinerary and the level of food consumption to follow every clue, and finally discovered that someone had swapped the relief boat at Giang Lang wharf. That night it rained very heavily. Quy Canh Hanh stood under the lamp and gave me his coat. He said:

“Lin Nghi, I owe you too much.”

At that time I smiled and said, Your Highness remembers it. He really does remember. After ascending the throne, he gave me a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and also gave me a heavenly palace. He doesn't grant me the position I deserve. In this life, the Southern district flood happened again, the Eastern palace's lights were on continuously for several days. Quy Canh Hanh did not come to find me. But he sent someone to bring several documents from Giang Nam, saying that his father was busy at the Ministry of Public Works and wanted me to hand them over. That excuse is really too clumsy. I did not open those documents and told Thu Hanh to return them intact to the Eastern Palace. The next day, he personally went to Khuong family. I'm drying books in the yard. He stood under the tree, the dark circles under his eyes were clear, as if he hadn't slept for several nights.

“Lanh Nghi, the Southern District flood disaster is related to the lives of people.”

I put the book down.

“Your Highness should go find the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Households and Do Thuy Giam.”

“Don't come looking for a clumsy lady.”

His face is a bit white.

“Are you still angry about the banquet?”

“The goddess does not dare.”

“Khuong Lenh Nghi.”

His voice lowered.

“Clearly she has the ability to help.”

I looked at him. In the past, he liked to say this sentence the most. Obviously she can help. Obviously she understood. Obviously she is smarter than others. That's why I have to stay up all night, have to spend my heart and soul, have to put my heart and soul into his hands, then watch him bring them to the court, receiving the praise of the officials. I ask:

“For some reason, Your Highness feels that I must be right help?"

It seemed like he didn't expect me to ask like that.

“The people of Southern District are innocent.”

“If it's for the sake of humanity, I can give the clues I know to my father.”

“Father will automatically present it to the court.”

Qui Canh Hanh's eyes darkened. He understood. We can help solve this. But don't help him. He asked hoarsely:

“Between you and me, how did it come to this?”

This statement comes too late. I lowered my eyes:

“Between His Highness and the goddess, there was originally nothing.”

His face was completely pale. At that moment, an announcement was heard from outside.

“Miss, Master Bui is here. He said he had checked some things in the broken jade bracelet before, and wanted to invite you to take a look."

Quy Canh Hanh suddenly turned his head. Bui Van Chu stood outside the hospital door, holding a wooden box in his hand. Obviously he did not expect the Crown Prince to be here, so he stopped to bow. Quy Canh Hanh looked at him, his eyes cold.

"Bui Thieu Khanh often comes to Khuong's house."

Bui Van Chu calmly replied:

“The tribute case is not over yet, I will follow the rules to investigate.”

I walked over to receive the wooden box.

“Sorry to bother Mr. Bui.”

In the box is a broken ring. There was also a very thin roll of parchment. Bui Van Chu says:

“Inside the jade bracelet there is an empty cavity.”

“In there is hidden this tiny map of the waterway.”

My heart is shocked. The waterway map was opened, above it was drawn a river line around the Giang Lang area in the Southern district. Quy Canh Hanh also saw it. His face immediately changed. The nine chains, foreign envoys, floods in the Southern district. It turns out these two things are related. In my previous life, after removing the nine links, I never discovered that there was an empty cavity inside. That set of bracelets was kept in storage by the Queen Mother. In the case of the Southern District flood disaster, we only found out about the boat swapping at Giang Lang wharf, but we could not find out how the foreign envoy was secretly pulling the strings. In this life, I broke the jade bracelet, which in turn caused the map hidden inside to fall out. Bui Van Chu looked at me.

"That day, Miss Khuong broke the nine chains, accidentally revealing a big fish."

I heard the teasing in his words. I couldn't help but glance at him.

“Lord Bui is praising me for being clumsy but is it still useful?”

He actually thought seriously for a moment.

“The same could be said.”

Qui Canh Hanh stood next to him, his face extremely unsightly. If this waterway map is presented by Bui Van Chu and his father, the credit will no longer be related to the Eastern Palace. He finally realized that many situations did not have to be resolved through him.
