Chapter 2 — Chess Game In The Palace

But those two breaths helped us know that Luu Thanh Van found his weakness. Next, every other day she "coincidentally met" her again, each time in a different way. Sometimes I drop my handkerchief on the street, sometimes I get bumped by a palace maid and dirty my clothes, sometimes I look at the moon and miss my homeland until my eyes turn red. In just seven short days, Luu Thanh Van "coincidentally met" seven times. Trieu Hanh stopped next to her three times and talked three times. For the last time, he even wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Perhaps Luu Thanh Van felt the opportunity was ripe, so he took action again. That evening, the eunuch of the Kinh Su room came to invite Trieu Hanh to turn over the cards. Trieu Hanh conveniently turned over a card, it was Luu Thanh Van's name. The corner of his mouth moved slightly, as if surprised, but also as if he couldn't hide his smile. At this moment, the golden letters appeared again. 【Hehe, the main female character is really smart! Directly bribed Kinh Su Room and changed all three blue cards to his own cards!】 【Tonight the female lead was finally impregnated by the lady! I want to see the tyrannical emperor force love! I'm so anxious, so anxious!】 I sat next to the tangerine peeler and nonchalantly reminded Trieu Hanh: "If your Majesty doesn't mind, please turn over the remaining two pictures." Trieu Hanh looked at me and raised his hand to flip the second picture. Luu Thanh Van. He turned over the third sheet. Still Luu Thanh Van. The smile on his lips immediately stiffened. "This..." The general manager Kinh Su room's face turned pale, he immediately knelt down and confessed: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty and the Queen! It's the slave who accidentally slipped his hand and misplaced the card! The slave deserves to be punished!" "All three cards are the same person." I put the tangerine segment on the plate: "Kinh Su room said he slipped his hand. I think, slipping my hand three times is enough for a fine of thirty rods." There's another thing I can't think of." Trieu Hanh looked at me: "What's the matter?" "Luu Thanh Van has been in the palace for a year, and has refused twenty-seven rewards from His Majesty. She still doesn't receive enough benefits. Where did she get the money to bribe the Kinh Su room?" Trieu Hanh's finger pressed on the jade plate used to turn over the cards, his fingertips were pressed white. "Perhaps it was accumulated." He said one sentence, but his tone was no longer as comfortable as before. "Someone has passed away. Returning nine benefits, if you save up a year, can you accumulate enough silver for the general manager of Kinh Su to personally cheat for her?" I pushed the plate of tangerines to his hand: "Your Majesty, do you think it is reasonable?" Trieu Hanh did not reach out to touch the plate of tangerines. He bowed his head and looked at Luu Thanh Van's three cards for a long time, then put the jade card down. "No more flipping tonight." After saying that, he stood up and left. Walking to the palace door, he stopped for a step, did not turn around, just said: "Tell Kinh Su room's people to receive their punishment." That night, the lights in Quynh Tam eunuch were on until midnight. Lien Khe told me she heard the sound of something breaking inside. The sound of broken porcelain on the tile floor mixed with Bao Duyet's cries spread outside. The lines of golden letters before my eyes moved crazily. Everyone was heartbroken for Luu Thanh Van, scolding me for being cruel and jealous. I don't get angry, I don't get impatient, I read every line, just to find the most important information. Finally, I saw a line of golden letters: 【This time, the beloved female lead will use herself as bait, set herself on fire and injure herself, making the male lead heartbroken, and at the same time bring disaster to the female side. The woman just waits to be punished!】 I laughed, and that night I ordered someone to pass the word to the eyes and ears I installed next to Luu Thanh Van. If she wants to start a fire, I will help her make the fire bigger. …… The next morning, the sky was not yet completely bright, Quynh Tam garden was already on fire. When thick smoke billowed from the roof of the sky

phone, I'm brushing my hair. When Lien Khe pushed open the door and walked in, the hairpin on her head was also askew: "Lady, Lieu Thi's palace is on fire! She's locked inside, she can't get out yet!" I put the hairpin in her bun, not too quickly or too slowly asking: "Have you rescued anyone?" where only the blackened beams of the Quynh Tam temple remain. Luu Thanh Van sat wrapped in a blanket in the hallway, her left arm wrapped in a thick layer of gauze bandage, a small red patch appeared on the white bandage. As soon as she saw Trieu Hanh, she immediately rushed forward, knelt at his feet, raised her teary face: "Your Majesty, someone wants to harm me. Last night I slept very soundly, someone locked the door from the outside. Luckily, Bao Duyet broke the window and pulled me out. Otherwise, your Majesty would no longer be able to see me tonight..." Trieu Hanh bent down to help her. As he bowed his head, his eyes glanced over the charred ruins behind her and then suddenly stopped. Half of the temple wall has burned down. Beneath the ashes revealed the remains of a sycamore wooden chest.
