Chapter 3 — Change of Successor

If Tieu Hoa Thuy doesn't care, I will choose another obedient and filial child to support. I will not let myself be forever recorded in history books with the humiliation of being the only queen not allowed to be buried with her husband just because she is my biological child. It's been fifteen years, I should also choose a child that really suits me. In Kun Ninh palace, after the harem concubines and the prince and princess came to pay their respects, everyone left one by one. Only Tieu Hoa Thuy was still sitting on the chair, with a hesitant expression. "Is there anything else going on, Crown Prince?" I asked calmly. In my previous life, when he was five years old, I finally stabilized his mind and took him home to educate him. Although there is still a separate To Lenh Nghi between us, we still have a mother-child relationship for many years. When in front of me, it will also show the arrogance and willfulness of a child. But in this life, I have never lived with it even for a day. In front of me, it can't help but be cautious, and even carries a subtle hint of ingratiation. Tieu Hoa Thuy ordered someone to bring the best medicine. "Mother." She bowed her head, her voice heavy: "I don't know that you are my mother, I have offended you many times in the past. I hope your mother can forgive me." I curled my lips slightly, but did not recognize his medicine. "I have been raised by Concubine Chieu Hue since I was a child. I am worried and impatient because her illness is also a matter of concern. It's normal." Tieu Hoa Thuy still wanted to say something, but the palace servant came in to report: "Niang Niang, His Highness King Te has arrived." King Qi quickly walked into the palace, knelt down, smiled and clasped his hands at me. His voice resounded: "My son, please say goodbye to your mother." "The army had some urgent matters that caused me to delay for a while. I missed the time to say goodbye to your mother. It's my fault." I looked at it, and a smile couldn't help but appear on my face. King Qi's biological mother was my loyal friend for many years. Unfortunately, after giving birth, she hemorrhaged to death, leaving behind only a young child. When I left the palace, I was worried that he would have no one to protect him in the palace, so I begged Tieu Canh Khac to take him to the palace to raise him, away from harem battles. Externally, I said he was raised under my pillow. After that, I even let my nephew act as a co-signer for him. With Thi Ta of Tran Quoc Duke Palace backing her, the servants did not dare to mistreat her easily. Seeing me and King Te chatting happily, Tieu Hoa Thuy's face became increasingly pale. I said: "It's time for Concubine Chieu Hue to take her daily medicine. If the Crown Prince has nothing else to do, please come to your side as soon as possible to serve her." Tieu Hoa Thuy had not yet spoken, King Qi smiled and said: "That's right. After all, everyone in the world knows that you are the most filial son in the palace. If you continue to sit here, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest assured." Tieu Hoa Thuy's lips moved slightly, and in the end, he could only do so. said: "Yes, then I will take my leave first." In the following days, To Lenh Nghi's illness became more and more serious. Tieu Hoa Thuy came to Kun Ninh palace several times, but I always found reasons to avoid meeting him. Compared to the outstanding achievements of King Te, the crown prince in this life only has a false reputation of filial piety. Recently, he often lost focus and messed up a few things, making Tieu Canh Khac even more frustrated. That day, Tieu Canh Khac stayed at Kun Ninh palace. In the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up, clutching my chest and vomiting violently. Tieu Canh Khac was frightened and immediately tried to call for a royal physician, but I stopped him. I said: "I just dreamed that after you passed away, Thuy Nhi treated me like that..." I told him the stories of my previous life, but said it was just a dream. Tieu Canh Khac comforted me that the dream was all fake, but between my eyebrows appeared again

some worries. He may not have similar concerns in his heart. Especially when Tieu Hoa Thuy heard the news, he was sure that I could cure To Lenh Nghi, so he led people directly to rush into Kun Ninh Palace while Tieu Canh Khac was still resting in the palace. "Mother! The one who neglected me for many years, is the mother who devotedly took care of me!" "Currently she is seriously ill, her life is in danger, in any way that can save her, I will not give up!" Tieu Canh Khac couldn't believe it, severely reprimanded Tieu. Hoa Thuy does not know how to respect elders. The next day, there was another high-ranking official of the noble concubine who raped the women, and led the crown prince to indulge in debauchery, not worrying about advancing. Tieu Canh Khac was angry, and finally ordered: "The Crown Prince is detained in the Eastern Palace. All work will be handed over to King Te to handle." The Van and Martial Mandarins looked at each other. They clearly understood that the prince had lost his sacred heart. As soon as the adoration ended, the Eastern Palace immediately sent someone to convey the word, saying that the crown prince wanted to meet me once. The palace man held a Thai Ho stone object and said: "Your Highness is afraid that your Highness will not want to see you. He said that as long as you see this precious object, I hope you will come see Your Highness no matter what." That was the item I chose in my previous life among the decorations in his study, when I wanted to choose another crown prince for him.
